Kagome smiled as she sat on the fur-covered floor. Inuyasha lowered himself to his hands and knees before he turned in a few circles, patting at the furs before he finally rested his body on the patted area. Kagome giggled at this sight.
"What's so funny?" he scowled at her as Yuki came to her other side and sat beside her.
"Oh, you looked like a puppy preparing a comfortable spot for itself," she said teasingly. The forest spirit's ears twitched in irritation.
"Feh!"
"Quiet, I'm almost ready!" Shippou demanded. The kitsune was sitting beside the basket where the pups were, all of them observing the hanyou and miko curiously.
"Okay, we're quiet now," Kagome smiled warmly at him. The fox looked back at the pups and gave a nod.
"Up! Up! Down! Left! Down! Right!" four little voices were barking, each one a little different than the rest, even Kagome could hear the differences. The pups were barking happily, their little tails wagging in excitement.
"You taught them to bark, big deal," Inuyasha snorted.
"It's like they're singing," Kagome shook her head and laid her hand on his shoulder. "Don't discourage him. Shippou, you did great. I'm sure you'll teach them more tricks?"
"Yeah! Thanks, Kagome!" Shippou beamed at her, then turned to the puppies to tell her an another combination of barks to perform.
A/N: So now you know, the first idea for puppies' names was to call them after keys on my keyboard. As I told you in some previous chapter, when it's hot I don't actually think. So.. Blame the Sun for this chapter.
