"Oh for the love of god, Kagome," Shippo exclaimed exasperatedly as he flopped on her bed back in his regular form. "A game? Kitsunes love games."
"I know. That is why I suggested it, Shippo."
"Are you trying to get yourself used and thrown away?"
"Shippo," Yukina reprimanded in a hushed voice.
Shippo was about to retaliate before he realized Kagome's silence and cursed himself. He really needed to think about his word choice better. "Kagome, I-"
"No, Ship. I am not going to get used. Shuichi - no, Kurama, - wouldn't do that to me."
