The Cute Little
Fox Kid (2 weeks later)
"Kagome! Can you come down? There's something I want to ask you." Yelled Inuyasha.
"I'll be right down!" Said Kagome. It took her a little while because she was putting her pad on since she started her period for the month. She kept having stomach pains because of it. Now she went downstairs and saw Inuyasha waiting for her on the couch.
"What took you so long?" Asked Inuyasha.
"I don't think I should tell you!." Said Kagome.
"Why? You have to give me a reason why it took you so long to get down here."
"It's girl stuff."
Inuyasha got off the couch and stood right in front of her. He looked directly at her. "And what exactly is girl stuff? What do you mean by that?"
"That's none of your business. This is something that girls shouldn't be talking to boys about."
"About what?"
"You know nothing?"
"What are you talking about?"
"ARRRRGH! I just started my period for this month! Are you happy now?"
She was pissed and embarrassed. She couldn't believe she told that to a boy. Inuyasha just stared and back away a bit. Then he asked a stupid question.
"What's a period?"
Kagome was stunned! She couldn't believe what she just heard. But then she remember that he didn't have any parents around long enough to tell him about this stuff.
"The only thing I know is sex." Said Inuyasha. "Both my mom and dad told me about that but I didn't get it."
"OK! Don't talk about that with me! Grandpa!" She really didn't want to tell him what a period is. So she decided her grandpa should tell her because he is older then everybody else in the family.
"What is it Kagome?" Asked her grandpa. He came to the living room. Kagome went up to her grandpa and put her hands together as if she was praying.
"Oh my dearest grandpa in the whole wide world and the smartest grandpa in the world and..."
"Don't try to do that kind of talk with me young lady! Just say it! And I'll do it!"
"You have to tell him what a period is and tell him why he didn't get what sex is all about! Thanks gramps!" She ran all the way upstairs before he stopped her.
"Why did you have to torture me this way Kagome?" He looked at Inuyasha who was waiting for him to speak. "All right... let's get started. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask them."
"Maybe finally I can do my homework!" Said Kagome. Kagome locked her room and was doing her homework on her desk. She had to do some math homework.
She finished 1 hr. later. She started to relax on her bed and was about to take a nap until she heard a knock at the door. Since it was locked, she had to get up and open it. The person who was at the door was Miroku.
"Oh! Hi Miroku! Aren't you here for Inuyasha?" Asked Kagome when she let Miroku in.
"No, I'm here to see you!" He answered. He sat on the bed and put his staff on the floor. Kagome sat a few feet away from him because of him being a pervert and all.
"Why do you want to see me? Gasp! You're not going to ask me out on a date, are you?"
"No, not at all! I came here to tell you I found something in the woods."
"Is it something to investigate?"
"Kind of! I don't want to ask Inuyasha because your grandpa is having the talk with him for some reason that I don't want to know why! SO! I'm asking you to come with me."
"Is it just me or are you trying to set me up for us to be alone?"
"N-N-No! I, ah... just want to have a nice walk in the woods and show you what I found."
"All right! Let's go then!" They both got out of Kagome's room and tip-toed downstairs so Inuyasha and the grandpa won't hear them. They sneaked out the door and headed for the woods.
"I don't see anything Miroku. Where is it?" Asked Kagome. They have walk for hours. Kagome was tired of walking. Miroku had no problem of walking because he was traveling before he met her and Inuyasha.
"It's here somewhere. You just have to wait a bit," said Miroku.
"How long do we have to wait?"
"Just wait a bit."
They wait a few minutes. Then somehow, the sky quickly turned black. Then they heard a little kids voice, a voice that's sounds really creepy. So they saw someone appeared out of the bushes and they saw Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha! Don't scare me like that! You sounded horrible!" Said Kagome.
"This is the thing I wanted to show you." Said Miroku.
"But it's Inuyasha. Why did you want to show me this?"
"Because it's not Inuyasha. Look at something on his back."
Kagome walked over to the fake Inuyasha. ( At least that's what I would call him.) She looked at the fake Inuyasha deeply into the eyes. Then he spoke up.
"What are you looking at? Do I have something on my face?" Asked the fake Inuyasha. It didn't sound like Inuyasha. So maybe Miroku was right. She looked behind him and saw a fluffy tail. She stepped back and was about to laugh.
"That's a cute tail fake Inuyasha!" Laughed Kagome.
"HEY! Don't make fun of my tail! It's precious to me." Said fake Inuyasha.
"Who are you anyway?"
A puff of smoke came from the fake Inuyasha. Kagome and Miroku coughed in it. When the smoke faded away, there was no one there. But Kagome looked down and saw a little boy. He had a blue bow, brown hair, turquoise shirt and little foxy foot, and the same tail. Kagome thought it was really cute!
"My name is Shippo! I'm a fox demon!" Said the boy.
Kagome did realize that of the weird things about him. Including the ears, the tail and the feet. But it's still cute!
"Oh wow! You're so cute! And the tail! That's even cuter!" Squealed Kagome. She ran to Shippo, picked him up, and hugged him so tight! She rubbed her face against his face.
"Hey! Put me down! You're hurting my tail!" Complained Shippo.
"This is the thing I wanted to show you Kagome." Said Miroku.
"Really? Thanks! It's so cute! Why did you want to show him to me anyway?" Asked Kagome.
"You did see how he was Inuyasha a minute ago, right?"
"Yeah!"
"He has the ability to transform to somebody. The first time I saw him, he transform into me! I thought I was crazy at first!"
"Who are you people? Get out of my territory!" Said Shippo.
"Excuse me? This is my territory! It's around my house!" Said Kagome.
"Let's go to your house Kagome!" Suggested Miroku.
"Where's Inuyasha?" Asked Kagome. She has just came home. She saw her mom in the living room. But Inuyasha and her grandpa wasn't around. "Mom, where's Inuyasha and grandpa?"
Her mom was on the couch. She got up and faced Kagome and smiled. "Well, your grandpa is showing Inuyasha some pictures of how things go on between a boyfriend and a girlfriend. And when they get married and..." She was about to continue on but Kagome stopped her.
"AH! Mom! TMI! Too much information. Don't say that around little kids!"
"What?" Mrs. Higurashi noticed Shippo in Kagome's arms. She didn't notice him when Kagome came in. "Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't know a little boy was in here."
"Hey! I'm not a little boy! I'm an adult!" Said Shippo.
"Ok little adult kid. I'll be going now! I just remembered I have to go to the store to by some more food. It's going to be a big dinner tonight. Souta! Come on down! Let's go to the store!" Souta came running down the stairs and left with Mrs. Higurashi. Miroku, Kagome, and Shippo just stared at them until they left the house.
"I guess you two are staying for dinner," said Kagome.
"Yup!" Said Miroku.
They walked to the living room. Miroku and Kagome sat on the couch then Kagome put Shippo on the little table in the middle of the room.
"Why did you come here Shippo?" Asked Kagome.
Shippo crossed his arms and closed his eyes. "I came here to look for Naraku," answered Shippo.
"That's strange! Miroku and Inuyasha mentioned that name before. Who is he Miroku?" She questioned Miroku with a strange look on her face. Miroku looked at Kagome and then looked back at Shippo. He began to spoke.
"Naraku is a dangerous demon. He put a wind tunnel curse on me. He likes to kill. But before I came here, I heard from the ladies he's after someone and the Shikon no Tama," he explained.
"That's one of my other questions. What is the Shikon no Tama? Inuyasha is looking for it. Does that mean you want it too, Miroku?"
"I do! I need it to kill Naraku because he destroyed my home and my family," said Shippo.
"I need it to defeat Naraku too. I have to put an end to this curse!"
"But you didn't answer my question. What is the Shikon no Tama?" Kagome asked again.
"Some people want the Shikon no Tama for power, others want it for revenge and evil. But I don't think there is some good to the Shikon no Tama. It's better if the Shikon Jewel was destroyed and never heard of again."
"But why does he want the Shikon no Tama? Where is it?"
"No one know why he wants it. But I did heard the jewel is here in Tokyo. Naraku sends his demon monsters to look for it."
"You mean that spider we fought in the church the other day?"
"Yes. But I don't know why it would come to the church first. But, when it came the spider was coming after you. But when you were nowhere in sight, it just came after me and Inuyasha. This is my question to you: Do you..."
"Kagome!" Miroku was interrupted by Kagome's grandpa. He just came downstairs looking all tired.
"Oh grandpa! Where's Inuyasha?" Asked Kagome in a happy mood. Why is she so happy after she heard about Naraku?
"He fell asleep while I was explaining marriage to him. I think he's tired of me explaining to him. I'll take a break for now," answered the grandpa. "Where's Souta and your mother?"
"They went to get some more grocery's. I think they'll be home soon."
"Maybe you should get cleaned up." When he says this, he meant for Kagome to take a bath.
"All right! I'll see you later! Miroku! Can you wake Inuyasha up now? He should be in grandpa's room!" Kagome ran upstairs happily. Miroku didn't get the chance to ask her the question he was about to ask. He was going to ask if she has the Shikon no Tama. But he wasn't sure because Kagome wanted to know what was the Shikon no Tama.
He'll wait until after dinner to ask her.
"Who are you again?" Asked Inuyasha. He just woke up from his nap 20 mins. later. He was downstairs with Miroku and Shippo.
"For the 5th and final time, I'M SHIPPO! DO YOU GOT THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL!" Yelled Shippo. Let's hope that Inuyasha could remember his name.
"Your name is Boatpo?"
"NO! It's SHIPPO! Not BOATPO!"
"Why? Your name has the word 'ship' in it. So why not call you Boatpo?"
"BECAUSE! It's not my NAME!"
"All right you two! Knock it off!" Said Miroku. He let Shippo go on his shoulder to stay away from Inuyasha.
"Anyways, where's Kagome?" Asked Inuyasha.
"I don't know! Ask her grandpa! He might know!" Answered Miroku.
"I don't want another lecture from him! I heard him talking enough today!" Just then, Kagome's grandpa called Inuyasha's name. Inuyasha quickly ran upstairs before Kagome's grandpa spot him. Shippo followed him and left Miroku sitting on the couch. Then her grandpa came in.
"Where's Inuyasha?" Asked grandpa.
Miroku was afraid to answer. The thing he was afraid of was him talking about his past which will be boring of course. So he answered very slowly.
"He's...still sleeping!" He answered. He made a little squeal but her grandpa didn't hear it. Her grandpa just kept staring at him.
"Too bad. I was going to show examples of how the body works. I was going to show him how the women works but I guess not. Oh well!" Said grandpa.
"How the women bodies work? Wait! You can show me!" Is something going to happen to him?
"Look you little Boatpo! Get off of my head! You might block my view!" Angered Inuyasha. He and Shippo just got to the hall upstairs. Inuyasha was about to go into Kagome's room but Shippo jumped on his head to stop him.
"And what do you need to see anyway? It's only the hallway." Cried Shippo.
Inuyasha thought about that for a second. "I like the hallway Boatpo."
"Can you stop calling me that?"
"Let me think here...NO!"
"Why not?"
"You want know? It's because you're a little runt that's WHY!"
"That's it! PUNISHMENT TIME!" He used his little hands to cover Inuyasha's eye's. Actually, he closed them with both of his hands. Inuyasha used both of his hands to pull Shippo off of his head.
"Hmm... I wonder what time is it!" Said Kagome. She was relaxing in the nice hot BATH! She brought a little clock in there so she could tell what time to get out. It was 7:15 PM. Her mom and Souta should be home now.
She got up and stretched a little and then got a towel to wrap her body. Then when she got her whole body out of the tub and was about to let the water drain, she heard some rumbling outside of the bathroom door.
She stood there looking at the door, waiting for something. She heard a voice, an angry voice. "I said GET OFF OF MY HEAD YOU LITTLE RUNT!" Whoever that voice was is pretty pissed.
Then, the door flung open and she saw Inuyasha fall flat on his back with Shippo closing his eye's. When that happened, she was surprised by them coming in, she fell back into the tub. Now her towel was wet.
She saw Inuyasha sat up and finally pulled Shippo off of his head. After that, Inuyasha rubbed his eye's and turned his head to Kagome's direction and saw her in the tub.
Kagome was blushing really red and screamed. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! Get OUT! PLEASE!" Screamed Kagome. She grabbed her clock and threw it at Inuyasha's head. It left a big bump on his head. Inuyasha got the message, grabbed Shippo by the tail and ran out of the bathroom.
Luckily, there was an extra dry towel and took off the wet one and put on the dry one. She ran to her room quickly so nobody won't see her. It was a good thing Inuyasha wasn't in her room.
"You WHAT?" Yelled Miroku. Inuyasha just told Miroku what happened upstairs while he was talking to his grandpa. He can't believe he missed the greatest chance in his life to see that.
"You heard me!" Angered Inuyasha. "She threw her stupid pink-thing that had numbers on it."
"That's called a clock! Man! You're lucky Inuyasha!" Miroku was now thinking in space. He was imagining how it would be if that happened to him.
'Now I know why girls hate it when guys see the girls all naked. They become perverts over night...'
