That Magical Plant

Do I really have to write this disclaimer? I don't own anything.

"And if you stand under it with someone, you have to kiss them!" Kagome giggled. Shippo had brought her a sprig of white berries and asked what they were. Shippo's eyes lit up mischievously. This mistletoe stuff would be fun!

His first victims would be Sango and Miroku. Everyone but them knew how they felt about each other. Maybe a kiss would help them. He tied the mistletoe to a branch overhanging a path through Inuyasha's forest. Then he recruited Kirara. Shippo transformed into a beautiful woman, got Miroku's attention, and ran into the forest. Meanwhile, Kirara got Sango to follow her. Everything was going smoothly until Shippo tripped. Miroku helped him up and started flirting. Sango saw them from where she was standing. Instead of kissing Miroku, she slugged him.

Shippo decided to try Inuyasha and Kagome. He hit Inuyasha and ran toward the mistletoe, then darted into the trees, leaving Inuyasha standing there. He pulled the old "I have something to show you" trick on Kagome. While he was getting her, Kikyo showed up. The result was inevitable. There was one more Inuyasha-shaped crater in the world.

Shippo sat down under the mistletoe to think. Unfortunately, Naraku had chosen that day to send Kanna on a mission. Shippo spotted the pale girl coming toward him. She stopped in front of him.

"Why do you look so embarrassed?" she asked. Although Kanna appeared to have no emotions, she had some, including curiosity. Shippo pointed upward.

"Mistletoe," he said, blushing furiously. "If you're under it with someone, you have to kiss them."

A pink tinge crept onto Kanna's pale cheeks, but she showed no other emotion as she leaned toward him.

A few minutes later, Shippo stood outside the door of Kaede's hut. He heard voices coming from inside.

"That little prankster's gonna get it," growled Inuyasha.

"It would be great if he got caught in his own trap," Miroku commented.

Shippo stepped inside.

"What's this?" asked Sango, stepping forward and picking a long white hair off his shoulder. Shippo blushed.

"What're you grinning about?" Inuyasha asked Kagome.

Kagome was holding back laughter. "I saw Kanna in the woods today."

I hope you liked it. I wrote it ages ago, and just got around to typing it. Please be nice and review!
