Inu-yasha helped Kagome out of the dry well and took hold of the large backpack she brought. "Did you bring that noodle stuff ?" Inu-yasha asked. "Of course I did" Kagome said. "Great !" Inu-yasha said with a half smile.

Shippo and Serenity watched them from a nearby tree. "It's sickening..." Serenity growled. "What is ?" Shippo asked. "Inu-yasha being with that human girl ! It goes against all demon honor" Serenity said. "But he's half-demon, so it's still okay" Shippo assumed. "Whatever...what I really want to know is what else does Kagome have in that bag ?" Serenity said.

"She always has food in it" Shippo said. "I know that, but what else ?" she asked, pondering a bit. "Let's find out later tonight !" Shippo said with a grin. "I always knew that underneath that cuteness was a trouble maker !" Serenity laughed.

(Later that night)

"This thing weighs a ton !" Serenity growled. He was carrying Kagome's backpack on her back. To make it a bit worse, Shippo was sitting on the top the bag. "We're almost far enough. We don't want Kagome to know we're going through her stuff" he said. Serenity then buckled at the knees and fell down face first into the ground. "Alright, this is perfect !" Shippo said, jumping off the backpack.

Serenity crawled out from under the backpack and snapped her back into place again. "Okay, what's in here ?" she said as she and Shippo began digging through it. "What the heck is this ?" Shippo asked, holding up something wrapped in plastic.

"There's a whole box of those !" Serenity exclaimed as she took out the box. "Hmm ? I can't read this. Hmm ? tam-poons ?" she pronounced the word on the box. (Yes, I meant to spell it that way)

"Hey look ! What do think this is ?" Shippo asked, holding up a white bra. "I dunno," Serenity said, taking them. "Looks like head gear to me"

"Head gear ? How ?" Shippo asked. Serenity fastened the straps together and put it over Shippo's head.

"Like that ! Man, you look cool !" Serenity complemented.

"Really ? Thanks ! There's one for you too" he said, holding up a pair of pink panties from the bag. Serenity sweat-dropped.

"Pink..." she growled. "You're wearing pink ! It shouldn't be a big deal !" Shippo shouted, jumping on Serenity's back and forcing the underwear over her head. Her ears stuck out of the holes were the legs would normally go through.

"They fit perfectly !" Shippo cheered. "Somehow...I feel stupid. Like these aren't supposed to be worn like this...ah well !" Serenity said before she began running around in her new 'head gear'.

"Look, packages of snake skin !" Shippo cried, showing Serenity a rubber-like circle wrapped in plastic. She opened one of them and stretched it out.

"Wow, must've been a huge snake !" she gasped. Serenity and Shippo opened all of the packages of the so called 'snake skin' and stretched them until they broke.

(The next morning)

Kagome was the first to awake, she noticed her backpack was missing and went to look for it. She eventually came across Shippo and Serenity sleeping on top of her open backpack.

Kagome then gasped, her eyes widened and she couldn't make a sound. Shippo was sleeping on Serenity's stomach with her bra over his head. Serenity, who was deep in slumber, had a pair of panties over her head.

What REALLY scared Kagome was that there were lots of broken condoms around. "They couldn't have...they're too young ! They shouldn't even know how to use them !" she thought.

Kagome nudged them awake and sat down near them. "Good morning Kagome," Shippo said. "Like my head gear ?" he continued. "Uhh...yeah" Kagome said. "You have lots of funny things in your bag. Why do you even bring them ?" Serenity asked.

Kagome just took a deep breath and spoke. "Did you two...use these last night ?" she asked, holding one of the condoms up. "Yeah ! We used 'em so good, they broke !" Shippo exclaimed. Serenity giggled and nodded. Kagome anime fell. "You guys, I think we need to have that talk..." Kagome said. "Huh ?" Serenity and Shippo said in unison.
