The Social Ladder

Shippo: You're late again.

Chichiri4488: ^^;;;;

"Sit here?" asked Sango.

"Yes," replied Naraku.

"With us?" I asked.

"Yes."

"But here, with us?" asked Shippo.

"Yes........."

"Not over there, but here? With us here?" asked Miroku.

"Yes."

"Why?" asked Inuyasha. I am so confused............

"Cause I'm a nobody like you guys now!" he grinned. I lifted up my eyebrow at him with a 'yeah-right' look.

"I need your help Kagome," he whispered.

At this rate I'm gonna start my own hotline and make cash of this advice thing.

"Why me?"

"Cause Kouga said you're good at helping people, and at this point you guys are the only people who will look me in the eye!"

"There are other guys in the school that are gay Naraku, just go hang out with them!" said Miroku.

"Hello! Get with the program here people!" he said snapping his fingers. "There's only one guy out there for me who knows just as much as I do on fashion, and he's gay."

"Some fashion designer who's famous and that I've never heard of?" asked Sango.

"No. It's actually a cute little redhead senior. Named Shippo."

Shippo's milk sprayed over the table and onto Miroku, with his eyes wide.

"Thanks for the shower Shippo," said Miroku. He grabbed at a napkin and began whipping some of the liquid of his face.

"You like who!?" shouted Inuyasha.

"You heard me, I really don't like having to repeat myself........."

"Why the heck me?" asked Shippo.

"You're cute, and aren't you gay too?"

"No!"

"Then why do you know fashion and stuff?" asked Naraku.

"You would too if you're parents died, and you were raised by your older sisters!"

Naraku's face saddened quickly as Shippo's grew angry. Then Naraku ran and gave him a hug.

"I'm so sorry my little Shippo-chan! I'll take care of you!"

"HELP!"

"Leave me to the dirty work............" Inuyasha muttered. He pulled Naraku off Shippo quickly, throwing him back away from the table. "You wanna have friends, fine. You wanna hurt mine, then you have a huge fist coming your way. Is that clear?"

"Crystal clear."

Inuyasha came back to the table and put his arm around my shoulders. His head resting on top of mine.

I love this big softie.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I was peacefully going to my car after school. Yasha had a dentist appointment and had to leave. Miroku was already off with Sango somewhere. And Shippo had disappeared.

Had, being the key word in past tense.

"Kagome!?" he yelled jumping onto me.

"What is it Shippo?" I asked.

"Naraku is chasing me down! I cant live like this! I feel like if I turn to him he'll hug me......... so I just keep running......... I can't take this forever!"

"Shippo, it hasn't even been half a day."

"Yeah, and you survived Kouga for weeks. What's your secret to avoiding creepy males?"

"I don't know, but if you find out first let me know what it is."

"Kag! You gotta help me on this! You know what it's like having a guy you despise chasing you down. Help me, please?"

He was trying to send me on a guilt trip with his big eyes watering up. But I was already going to help him anyway.

"Don't worry Shippo. I have a plan."

His grin widened.

"Prank king and queen are taking him down! But what's the plan?"

"We just need to direct Naraku's attention onto another gay guy, so they can be happy together, rather than drag you into this."

"Like who? Jakotsu?"

"He's a teacher. And I think he's seeing someone anyway."

"I don't know anyone else that's gay."

"Neither do I......... but we'll find someone."

"How long will that take?"

"I don't have a clue."

He fell back across the pavement and his arms twitched. Moron acted like he was dying.

"Shippo?"

Nothing.

"Shippo?"

Still nothing.

"I don't give rides to dead people."

Still nothing.

"Or unconscious people."

He didn't budge.

"That includes people specifically in comas."

"Dang it," he muttered getting up.

You have to be so specific with him, or he'll find a loophole in what you say. I know, cause I do it at times too. We'll make darned good lawyers.

"Ready fox-boy?"

"Fox-boy?"

"I wasn't sure if you wanted a nickname like grasshopper."

"Where did this come from?" he said. I shrugged.

"You're so random at times Kag."

"I know. Let's go though; I've got a mountain of homework."

"I finished it in 5th period. So ha ha," he said.

I tuck my tongue out at him as I got into my car.
