"And what would you know about that, little brother?" Sesshoumaru zipped between Inuyasha's attacks before striking his hand, Tessaiga falling to the ground and reverting to its dormant state.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Keh! It was time to take a break anyway." He collected his sword, tucking it into its scabbard and flopping down beside Kagome.
Shippou gave Sesshoumaru a hopeful look. "Is it my turn now?"
A single nod was all it took; Shippou scrambled to his feet, bokken cliched firmly in his hands as he got into the first position, feet planted firmly on the ground.
"You've gotten better," Kagome whispered, not wanting to break the kit's concentration.
