~Magic Seal Mischief! ~

(For those who would like to know, Tao and Tai are blue fireballs that float and like to hang around and help Nukude.)

The group and their new friend have made it to a peaceful village. "Ah, I can't remember the last time I've been in a nice town like this." Nukude sighed. "Boy, you must've been stuck there for a long time then." Kagome said. "Well, for about a day." Nukude replied. "A DAY?!" Everyone shouted. "Well when you think about it its pretty long if you don't have food." Nukude said sheepishly. "Yeesh, you are so weak." Inu-yasha jeered. "You better be nicer to me, or have you already forgotten what happened in the forest." Nukude threatened. "Why should I!? You aren't even full demon!" "Well neither are you!" "Why you little!" *Inu-yasha went in for the attack. "Uh oh, Tao, Paralysis Seal!" and with that he quickly placed the seal on Inu-yasha's forehead. Inu-yasha froze in place, even airborne. Everyone clapped, "I've never seen anyone handle Inu-yasha so easily before!" Kagome said. Nukude just stood there and blushed. "I think he needs some manners, and I know just the right seal! TAO CHIBI SEAL!" Tao transformed again, and Nukude placed him on Inu-yasha's chest and took of the paralysis seal on his forehead as he then fell to the ground.

(By the way, Tao can make multiples of himself)

"Ugh, what did you do to me!?" Inu-yasha scolded. "It takes a while to work." Nukude said. And right before their eyes, they saw Inu-yasha regress his age before their very eyes. "Nukude, you made Inu-yasha turn into a child?" Sango asked. "Yup, this way he might learn how to respect others younger than him." Nukude answered. "Wow, this is what I always hoped for in a brother, that he would stick up for little guys like me!" Shippou said happily. "Well, Shippou, I've always wanted a little brother, how about we be brothers while we're together?" Nukude said as he smiled. "That would be great!" Shippou replied as he jumped up onto Nukude's shoulder and they both laughed. "Hey! What about.is that my voice? I-I-I'm a whelp!" Inu- yasha shouted. "Hopefully this will teach you a lesson Inu-yasha!" Shippou shouted. "Aww! Inu-yasha you're so cute!" Kagome said. "W-w-what?! Get off me!!!" Inu-yasha shouted as he tried to get out of Kagome's grasp. Shippou whispered into Nukude's ear about all the things Inu-yasha had done to him in the past. "Oh really, how about getting him back?" Nukude replied. "That'll be lots of fun." Shippou said as they both looked at Inu-yasha maniacally. Nukude set Shippou down on the ground. "Here Shippou, use this seal on yourself, and you will have your revenge." Nukude said mischievously. "Ok." Shippou replied the same way.

(hee hee hee)

Shippou placed the seal on his chest and waited, as did everyone else. Soon, they watched Shippou grow! He was getting to Inu-yasha's original age, his poofy tail had gotten longer, much like Nukude's, and his hair got a little more longer, and his little fox feet had grown bigger, to hold his new weight. Shippou stood there amazed as Inu-yasha looked up, wishing he hadn't done those bad things to him now. "Well Inu-yasha! Looks like the tables have turned!" Shippou said maniacally. "Hmph, you may have gotten bigger but you're still a whelp!" "Look who's talking!" "I can still beat you" "You're lying; you know you can't, Inu-whelp!" "Why you, I'll kill you!" Inu-yasha jumped up as he tried to attack the grown up Shippou, but he was stopped with 10 pounds on the head, a body slam, and a large smack. "Looks like the dog finally knows his place!" Koga jeered. Inu-yasha lay to the floor, and whimpered. (Aww! He was given his Child personality!) "Is that all?" Nukude questioned. "Um, yeah, that's about it. But can I stay like this while Inu-yasha is still a child? I can teach him his lesson." Shippou replied mischievously. "Ok." All the while this had happened, Kilala was, possibly in love with this new Shippou, she just stared at him the entire time he had begun "Manners For Inu-yasha", who knows what went through her mind? (I seriously don't know yet. ^_^)

Inu-yasha walked around in bandages still as a child, as Shippou walked triumphantly to keep Inu-yasha in line. Kagome was getting a bit used to seeing them like that already, but felt kind of weird about it too. Inu- yasha actually kept his comments for once. Later that night, they went to the local inn, Nukude was the first to sleep, as was everyone else, especially Inu-yasha; with his childlike stature he needs naps. Everyone, but Shippou, he grabbed a mirror from Kagome's large backpack and admired his new grown up form. "Hmm, I wonder what other spells Nukude's spirit has?" He looked to Tao, asleep next to Nukude. He gently picked up Tao and whispered, "Tao, wake up, I want you to become a spell for me." Shippou asked quietly. Tao woke up, to see Shippou; all that was heard from this little fireball was a questioning "mm". "Please Tao? I just want to fool around a bit with some spells." Shippou pleaded. Tao, knowing that Nukude would be brothers with Shippou for the time that they are there, sweetly agreed.

"Thanks Tao! Ok, umm, how about.a strength spell?" Shippou asked. With that request Tao transformed into the magic seal, and placed himself on Shippou's chest. Shippou waited for a moment, but then a sudden rumbling came to him, he looked down to his body and was soon speechless. He saw his whole torso just expand, and then he looked to his arms, as they grew thicker with powerful strength, once more had his fox feet grown thicker, to hold the even newer more stronger weight. His hair and tail had grown much more thickly and longer as well, when the transformation was done, only one thing crossed his mind. He grabbed the mirror he had earlier and put his own magic on it, illusion to make it larger. He began to flex and pose until he just tired himself out, and fell asleep next to Nukude, but forgot to get Tao off, as Tao also fell asleep, still stuck to his chest, leaving him still "at large".
