Miroku walked by the small hut that confined InuYasha and Shippou. He heard clawing come from the walls of the hut.
"I… InuYasha?" Miroku called into the hut.
"PLEASE MIROKU!!" InuYasha cried as he tried to claw through the walls of the hut.
"MIROKU'SOUTTHERE?!WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!" Shippou randomly screamed. Miroku jerked back from the hut, hearing an unstable Shippou.
"Sorry, InuYasha. I'm being attacked by a demon!!" Miroku lied as he ran off from the hut.
"Damn it, Miroku!!" InuYasha yelled as he stayed as far back from Shippou as possible. Miroku and Sango were back from repairing Hiraikotsu, but InuYasha knew they didn't have the guts to stay around a sugar-high Shippou. Shippou floated around the room as a big pink balloon. He floated over to InuYasha and started gnawing on the half-demon's head. InuYasha growled, and slammed him back against a wall with a sheathed Tessaiga. Shippou fell unconscious as he slammed against the wall and reverted to his fox form.
A few hours later, Shippou awoke. The affects of the sugar, socks, half-a-shirt, and a hair brush were starting to wear off. He was having a bit of a "hang over" now. His head ached, but he didn't really notice at the moment. InuYasha had actually fallen asleep, thinking Shippou would awake normal. Normal for Shippou, that is. He had saved quite a bit of food… and socks… for later. He pulled them out of his fur vest and practically inhaled them. Within minutes, he was back to unstable. InuYasha caught scent of Shippou waking. His eyes snapped open and he watched the shaking kitsune carefully. Shippou grinned ear to ear and the fur on his tail stood on end. He leapt at InuYasha, for some unknown reason. "SHIPPOU!!" InuYasha shouted as he dodged Shippou. Shippou was more attacking InuYasha than anything else. Shippou continued to attack InuYasha, and InuYasha continued to dodge. Soon, Kagome entered the small hut with her bag as full as ever.
"I'm back, InuYasha!" Kagome's voice chimed in the small room. Shippou looked at Kagome and prepared to "attack" her. InuYasha took notice and did what was natural for him: he responded as Shippou was a threat to Kagome. He leapt in front of Kagome as Shippou launched himself at her. InuYasha punched Shippou back as he neared.
