Bubble Gum and Strawberry Flavored Condoms
Kira looked at the gum, frowning slightly, and merely lifted her hand and pulled out the gum with her fingers.
"ew! It's sticky! And I do what with it?"
Shippou, quite disappointed, sighed, "You just put it in your mouth and chew it. Make sure you don't swallow it either, I don't know why, but you just don't." He made little drawings in the dirt with his finger and just sat there, silent, while Kira tried to get the rest of the gum off her fingers, and into her mouth. There was still a little bit left on her hand, but she just ignored it, and concentrated instead on this new discovery of "gum". She moved her jaw, and tried to chew it, and found that once she just chewed normally, a strange taste came out of it.
"I kind of like this...gum...it has an interesting taste to it." She said in between chews.
COULD have had a BETTER taste to it, but nooo, you had to totally miss the message and GRAB it, stupid girl...thought Shippou.
As Kira was still thinking about the gum, she ran her fingers through her hair, without knowing what she was doing, for she still had some remains of the gum in them. Halfway down her hair, she realized that her hand was stuck. What was going on? Why was her hand stuck in her hair? Was she under some sort of curse? Had she done something bad? Maybe she should leave the presence of the demon boy.
"Here! That happened to me the first time I had gum too, but it was actually different, because I fell asleep with it in my mouth and it fell in my hair...but I'll help you get it out! Kagome has this sort of...I don't know what she calls it, but then she says it really works! I think she might have left her stuff at the creek, we can go get it, just try not to pull at it, because it really hurts." Shippou rolled back out of the bush and stood up, stretched, then helped Kira out of the bush as well. She got up, brushed herself off and asked, "Where is this place that you're staying at anyways?" she asked innocently, even though Shippou now knew that she had followed him there before, and knew exactly where it was.
Despite this, he led the way down the creek and to their camp in the forest.
They saw Kagome's bag where it lay before, when she was washing Inuyasha's robes. (Again) They walked over to it, opened up the top flap and took out everything in it, looking for kagome's "cure" to getting gum out of someone's hair. What they pulled out however did not seem to include what they were looking for, but instead a whole variety of things.
Firstly, the most peculiar looking thing in the bag was what appeared to be a square package of what kagome liked to call "plastic," and it had a strawberry design on it. When Kira poked it, it felt squishy, and Shippou, thinking it might be more candy, picked it up and opened it. Out came a sort of round slimy thing, and it seemed to be stretchy too. He inspected it closely, before licking it slightly. He winced at the taste, for it was quite bitter, but had a slight hint of strawberry flavor. He licked it again, and even offered some to Kira, who then looked at it as well, and he said "It's actually quite alright, though I can't believe she never told me about this one! Usually every time kagome gets new candy she tells me and then gives me some! Hmmmuh I'll ask her later then" but then he needn't ask her later, for Kagome came splashing out of the creek, waving her hands and shouting:
"NO SHIPPOU! DON'T EAT THAT!! IT'S NOT CANDY!" she ran up the slope and snatched the strange round thing out of Shippou's hand. Kira's arm was still outstretched, ready to take the stretchy thing from him.
"But kagome, what is it? How come you never showed it to me before? And we need some of that "butter" stuff, Kira's got gum in her hair! Hey! There's a whole box of those things in here, where'd ya get all those?"
"I left the butter at home, but I can probably find something in the village for it, somebody should have some sort of grease around here...and these? They're called "condoms" and they're not for eating! they're for...well...ummm well you stopped me in my talk earlier before I could even explain about them, but you really don't need them here, so I guess I can just take these away..." she shoved the box and all her other things back into her bag, but before she could even put the box back, Shippou grabbed it with his quick fox-like reflexes and grabbed Kira's hand and they ran.
Shippou's curiosity had gotten the better of him, so he just had to know what the little "condoms" were for, and so he then went in search of Miroku, for there was writing on the box. Not a skilled reader yet, he knew that Miroku would be able to read it without difficulty.
They reached the village and Kira stopped. "What about my hair? What am I gonna do with it?" Shippou halted and looked at it.
It didn't seem too bad, and he had been watching when kagome fixed his hair for him. All it needed was a little grease and maybe a comb too.
"Come with me, we only need to find Miroku, no doubt he found himself a really nice mansion to stay at, knowing him, and they should have some sort of grease there, and while I'm fixing this, we can get him to read whatever this says."
Kira didn't tell him that she knew how to read, and had read what the box had said while he was sampling the "condom" and she knew what it was for, well, she nearly did anyways. She only got to read part of it, for Shippou had talked to her and she immediately put it back into the bag, where he found it, grabbed it, took her hand, and ran.
It was just then that she realized that Shippou had grabbed her hand, and she found she didn't mind it. Also, even more amazing, to her, was that he had run quite a distance without falling as he usually did. She watched him walking now, and found that he even had a certain grace to him that she had never known before. It was then that they heard Miroku, and Shippou led her over to his voice.
