Chapter 2: Meeting Shippou



"Inuyasha??"

"What, wench?"

"My name's not 'wench.'"

"Feh."

"Anyway, who was that .. er, kid?"

"Shippou, the brat."

"HEY!" a muffled voice just outside the door called, causing Kagome to jump. "I am iNOT/i a brat!!!" The door flung open and a small boy walked inside, glaring at Inuyasha.

"Are too!" Inu retorted, picking up the boy by what seemed to be his tail.

... His itail?/i

"AHH! KAWAII!" Kagome screamed, leaping up and lunging toward Shippou, causing him to scream as well.

"Will you two shut the damned hell up!?" Inuyasha yelled, causing both of them to stop. "You're getting really noisy!!"

"Gomen, Inuyasha," (A/N: Am I correct in assuming that 'gomen' means 'sorry?') Kagome whispered, releasing the small boy.

Shippou sighed, and fell backwards onto the floor. "I'm Shippou!" he said, grinning at Kagome. "And you're Kagome, right?"

"Right!"

"Nice to meet you!" he giggled, tackling the girl. (?)

"HEY!" Kagome yelled in slight alarm, then lifted the boy off her. "Unfair! By the way .. are you a hanyou?" she enquired, blinking at him.

"No; I'm a youkai!" he grinned at her, watching Inuyasha out of the corner of his eye (who was looking islightly/i jealous of the little boy.) Taking this as an opportunity to tease him, Shippou smiled and turned his attention to the hanyou. "What's wrong, Inuyasha? Want to be in my place?" he said mischeviously.

Inuyasha blushed bright pink, turning away from the two. "Feh!" he grumbled, still blushing.

Shippou laughed; Kagome looked somewhat confused. "Huh?"

"Inu likes Kagome!" Shippou teased, rolling off Kagome.

Both parties blushed slightly at this. Kagome turned away from the two, while Inuyasha grumbled and slammed Shippou face-first onto the floor.

"OWWW!"

(A/N: Yeah, yeah .. I know, this chapter was WAY too short. I promise that, to anyone who's reading this, I'll make a longer one! :D)
