The party sat around the campfire, the orange light flickering over serene faces. The silence was broken by Shippo's question. "What are gazongas?"
Two sets of feminine eyes narrowed and focused on the young fox demon. Sango asked, through gritted teeth, "Where did you hear that word?"
Shippo blinked innocently. "Inuyasha and Miroku were using it. Miroku said Sango's were bigger, but then Inuyasha said Kagome's were shaped better."
The two males named in the fox's testimony were trying to sneak away before the judge and jury became executioners. Shippo continued, oblivious. "I thought they meant eyes, but then they started talking about bouncing, and eyes don't bounce."
All attempts at subtlety were abandoned as Inuyasha and Miroku started running into the forest as fast as possible. The two girls looked at each other, then Kagome patted the little boy's shoulder. "I'll explain later. Wait here for a minute, okay?" Sango broke away to hunt down the lecherous hoshi, and Kagome's cry of "SIT!" was rewarded with a heavy thudding sound that she walked towards.
Shippo waited until the girls were out of sight, then laughed and dug in Kagome's backpack for her stash of candy. It really was too easy sometimes.

It's too short to really be a fic - it's a Fic Jr., a mere ficlet. But, I don't know when or if I'd ever get around to writing it into a larger story, and I thought it was a funny little moment in time. Thanks to Rocky for being such a good pal and so encouraging of my random moments of off-the-wall humor.
