Shippo and Liake began walking to A wing in silance...

Shippo was pretending to read over the item's list but was really looking over Liake...

He never really registered what a great beauty she was, even after her unintetional strip tease...

She had long orange hair that framed her face in odd spikes. The further you got from the roots, the darker it got, black at her tips. Her tail was the same way, long and silky. He hated his tail... short, poufy, nappy. But he loved her's. He noticed that she also had a pair of fox ears, which he didn't have. He felt the erge to touch them, tweak them a couple of times.

"Is it natural?" he blurted without thinking...

She rasied an eyebrow... "Is what natural?"

"Your hair and tail...it's really pretty with the orange and black..." he blushed...but she just giggled... but he could detect a hint of red in her face...

They continued to walk...they finally got to the closet and began scowering for the items...

"Ok...we have 1 thing left...um...a box of markers..." she said looking at the list...then looking up at the shelfs fo the box... "There!" she called...pointing to the top shelf...

"Aww crap...we are too short..." Shippo groaned

"Well..." she said with a smirk... " We will just have to make oursleves taller..." she jumped on his shoulders, before he could do anything in protest...not that he would. What guy would turn down a girl asking to sit on him.
In this case...her knee-legth skirt had been pushed up so she could stradle his neck...he could feel her bare thigh rubbing against his cheek...

He gulped...he had never been so close to a girl before, even as a seinor in high school.

She was reaching up as high as she could...but still couldn't reach..."Hey...Shippo...get on that stool..." she said looking down and pointing...

He did as he was told, carefully, not to drop her. She reached again, brushing the box with her fingers, pulling it closer and closer. On her last pull, she leaned further, making Shippo lose his balance just as she pulled the box off the shelf. He fell backwards, without a fight, but she tired her best...but it wasn't good enough. She leaned forward as far she could, but she wan't fast enough and fell back. But not wanting to fall on her back, she filpped to fall on her hands and knees, but forgot about poor Shippo and landed right on top of him, nose to nose, breathing hard, eyes wide.

Shippo yelped in surpise as she landed on him, but she was oddly light. They sat in silance as the markers rained over them, because when Liake pulled the box and began to fall, the box popped open...

"Uh... we should clean this up..." Shippo whisperd...

"Yea.." she quickly got up, blushing, and picked up some markers and ran out the room...Shippo sat there, dumbfounded, still lieing on the cold floor...

He finally stood, rubbing his back. he picked up the rest of the markers and the other supplies and left the room

As Shippo entered the classroom, he saw InuYasha and Kaogme sitting, talking quietly, and Mr. Tyjel looking up from his paper...

"Were's Liake?" he asked

"I thought she was here..." Shippo said...looking around for her...he dropped the suppies and ran out into the hall... "LIAKE!" he called, becoming worried...

"Calm down Shippo, we will find her..." Kagome said, putting a reassuring hand on his shoulder...

Shippo clamed... he didn't know why he was so worried. Dispite their odd positon and the "glimpse" everyone got earlier... he didn't even know the girl...but he felt worried more than had ever before...

!#$%&()
