Disclaimer: InuYasha is owned by the talented Rumiko Takahashi, and we are obviously not the same person.

Summary: Shippo and Kagome are in danger. Just where is InuYasha? This is a one hundred word drabble similar in theory to "When It Rains It Pours."

Feudal Lessons

'That was a big mistake.'

Barely morning, and already trouble was brewing in the feudal era.

Hearing fierce growling, Kagome hastened to grab Shippo and run into the forest. With each step, she could hear their pursuer closing in, and she quivered unintentionally.

"What did you do?" Kagome queried as she sprinted.

The kitsune opened his mouth, but was struck speechless at the sound of cracking knuckles.

Then Kagome gasped as she saw vivid red, exposed fangs, and InuYasha's flashing amber eyes.

"Next time, Kagome," Shippo whispered fearfully, "we let sleeping dogs lie."

It was a bad time to laugh…

Author's note: One hundred words and probably one of the most difficult things I have written. ) I do not intend to write work not my own; so let me know if this topic has already been written.

As usual, feedback is welcome—flaming is not.

Thank you.
