Chapter Ten: Dysfunctional Beads

Shippou screamed.

Inuyasha, irritated, looked over. He'd been having enough trouble putting on the make-up, and he really didn't appreciate the distraction.

"What is it Shippou?" he asked kindly, despite his anger.

"Inuyasha, what did you do to Kagome?!" he cried. Sango and Miroku, who had woken at Shippou's scream, also seemed interested.

There was an awkward silence. Then-

"Inuyasha!" Inuyasha called. "Shippou asked you a question! You're so rude! Osuwari!"

He leapt into the air and slashed the tape binding Kagome's corpse to the tree.

Fwump.
