"Inu Yasha, grab that book for me." Kagome ordered, a small smile on her face. "And don't pick on Shippo while I'm gone for a week, okay?" She smirked as the sound of something remarkably close to growl that came from the hanyous direction. Shippo watched in amazement as Inu Yasha tossed the book that Kagome had asked for in her general direction; giving the kitsune a snarl at the same time. "Uh-uh, Inu Yasha, be nice to Shippo now." Kagome said in a sing-song voice. "We wouldn't want anything to slip, now would we?"
Another growl vibrated off of the hut's walls, catching Sangos and Mirokus attention as well. "What are you growling at, Inu Yasha?" asked the youkai slayer, raising her eyebrows at the noise. "None of your damn business." the hanyou snapped angrily, ears twitching madly as Kagome snickered. "It's nothing Sango- Inu Yasha is just more...doglike than I had ever imagined." Shippo jumped on the mikos shoulder, peering at her curiously. "What do you mean, Kagome?" he asked. "None of your damn business!" Inu Yasha repeated loudly, flushing a deep red color. "Oh calm down, Inu Yasha. Everyone has their own 'unique' things that they like to do; yours just happens to-" Kagome cut herself off at the murderous look in the silver haired dog-youkais eye. "I'm sure Shippo won't tell anyways." she finished, turning her head and whispering something into the foxes ear. Two seconds of absolute silence followed before the kit fell off of Kagome's arm, rolling on the ground with laughter. "You- haha- dog- haha-" He continued to giggle, not even able to complete a sentence. Miroku and Sango stared as Kagome started to grin widely, obviously trying to stop herself before she, too, started to laugh loudly. "Feh." Inu Yasha scowled, his face burning crimson as he stomped out the door noisily, practically running to the Goshinboku.
"Stupid wench." he grumbled, settling on a high branch where no one could see him. "'Everyone has their own unique things that they like to do'" he mimicked her under his breath; feeling his face and neck start to burn again at the memory of what she was talking about. It had been pure instinct. One moment she had been teaching him to play this ridiculous game called 'Frisbee', the next she had thrown something to him in the air, and he had done the only natural thing- jumped in the air and caught it with his teeth. Apparently this hadn't been the right thing to do, as Kagome took one look at him sitting on the ground with the disk in his mouth and started to crack up on the spot. "Just like that frickin' time with the damn rodent." he frowned, glaring into space. Now that one, he really didn't get. What was so wrong with chasing a squirrel?
