Chap. 3 Reactions
"Shippo?!?" Inu-Yasha said in surprise.
Shippo nodded his head seriously, and smiled. Inu-Yasha had finally realized he was a mature demon, worthy of respect.
Inu-Yasha hesitated for a moment, then walked slowly over to Shippo's side. Without warning, he bonked Shippo's head hard.
"OW!" Shippo yelled loudly, rubbing his the newfound bump on his head. " What'd you do THAT for?"
Inu-Yasha smirked evilly. " You mean you've matured, but you still ward off a little blow? That's pathetic. I'd be better off fighting a village toddler."
Still snickering to himself, Inu-Yasha turned around and walked back to the village.
Shippo glowered. " Why that…..!" Shippo said, his hands clenched into a tight fist. Fire glowed brightly around him.
Kagome looked at him, her eyes looking over him carefully. Even though she was now a little used to his new age, it was still a little surprising hearing his deepening voice. She felt her cheeks go red, and quickly raised her head so Shippo wouldn't catch her staring at him.
Shippo felt her glance, and turned around. Kagome was now looking at the sky, but he could see a pinkish tinge in her cheeks. It was strange, but somehow she looked prettier than she usually was. In her school uniform, Kagome looked casual yet serene. Shippo blushed scarlet.
'Why am I thinking these kinds of things!?! I'm supposed to be mad at Inu-Yasha instead of staring at Kagome!!! '
So, Shippo glanced at the ground, because he couldn't think of anywhere else to look. There was an uncomfortable silence while they both were silent.
Suddenly, the bushes beside him rustled. It couldn't have been a bird, because some sort of clothing made the noise.
Kagome stepped back slightly, nervous. Shippo tensed up, and slowly, gathering up his energy, blew a ball of orange fire at the bushes.
A shriek was heard, and Kagome recognized it at once.
"Shippo, stop! I think I know who it is."
Shippo grudgingly closed his mouth and calmed the burning in his throat. Kagome stepped over to the burnt bushes, brushed it back. There, behind the bushes was one very burnt up Sango, and one very roasted Miroku.

"Shippo, is that you!?!" Miroku and Sango asked in sync.
"Yeah," Shippo said, annoyed. 'This is getting old,' he thought with a sigh.
"Wow," Sango exclaimed, impressed. Shippo not only looked stronger, well, he also looked way hotter.
Kagome faked a loud cough, catching her attention.
"Why are you guys here?" Kagome asked suspiciously.
Sango gritted her teeth, and said flatly, "Miroku wanted to see if you and Inu-Yasha were kissing, and he dragged me along." Miroku laughed nervously, edging back toward the bushes.
"It's not like I saw anything. I mean, all I saw was you and Shippo staring at each other!" Miroku protested.
An idea came to Sango, and she smiled slyly.
"So that's it. You and Shippo were s-t-a-r-i-n-g into each other's eyes."
Miroku caught on fast.
"A~h. I see…." He said, smiling in a strange way.
Kagome and Shippo reddened 3 tones in a second, and started objecting in a shrill voice.
"Of course not!!! Shippo's too young for me," Kagome cried in a high voice.
"Not anymore, he isn't" Sango retorted back with a grin.
Kagome heaved a sigh and threw her hands into the air. "Fine, believe what you like, but let's get back to the village. I'm starving for some food."
The gang (minus Inu-Yasha) agreed, and started to walk back to the village. Halfway there, Sango and Miroku started to sing love sonnets-directed at Kagome and Shippo. Kagome and Shippo flushed, and became silent.
As the four marched back to the village, Kagome thought in her mind, ' Shippo really has grown up. I guess it wouldn't be that bad being matched together with him…'
Blushing, she shook her head and remembered that Inu-Yasha was the one she was supposed to be thinking about.
'But Inu-Yasha's so tough. He'll never tell me how he feels, whether he likes me or not…'

" When are you going to make your move?'" asked a servant.
"Soon, my friend…very soon…" the shadowed figure replied, an evil grin framing his face.
