Competition

It started with Rin drawing Sango sitting under a tree. Shippou drew Kagome under the same tree, just in a different pose. They took the pictures to Kaede and the old miko praised both, but didn't say which one was better. An hour later Kaede had to see two more pictures - Rin's being a picture of Jaken being chased by a stork youkai and Shippou's depicting Miroku fleeing from a bunch of angry women with brooms in their hands. Still, the old miko couldn't tell which one was better.

The next day Rin drew lord Sesshomaru with his mighty sword Bakusaiga in his hand, his fluff draped across his bare chest as the daiyoukai was stepping out from between bushes and towards a serpent youkai who had interrupted his peace. While Kaede was staring at the drawing Shippou just glanced at it once and set to draw his own masterpiece. Kaede and Rin waited patiently for him to finish. Soon Shippou handed the old miko his drawing and Kaede had to fan herself with Rin''s. The young fox drew Inuyasha wielding Tessaiga in its Meldou form and aiming it at a weasel youkai who held his stolen clothes. All of them. And there were no bushes in close proximity of the hanyou.

"I think Shippou wins," Kaede uttered after a momnent and handed the picture to the boy who was grinning. "I think ye should give this to lady Kagome, she'll like to have it." Shippou nodded and rolled the drawing before stuffing it in his sleeve.

"But why? Rin drew Lord Sesshomaru and his fluff! No one can beat the fluff!" pouted Rin.

"Young Shippou's picture was more... Detailed," the old miko replied, resuming her fanning.
