An Experiment

The gang was bored. It was raining three days in row and everyone was sitting in Kaede's tiny hut. They had already grew bored with a number of games, had sorted Kaede's herbs, had prepared their weapons and had repaired their belongings. And it was still raining.

Kagome sighed and closed her book. She had her homework finished long ago and now she couldn't look at a textbook anymore. She looked around the hut, seeing everyone trying to pass the time.

"I have an idea!" she exclaimed suddenly, waking Inuyasha up from a light nap.

"What is on your mind, lady Kagome?" asked smiled hopefully and Shippou ran to climb in Kagome's lap, eyes shining.

"We can do a small experiment," the young miko explained.

"An experiment, child?" Kaede raised an eyebrow. "What do you wish to do?"

"I want to see where Miroku's wind tunnel leads!" Kagome explained happily.

"Hell no!" Inuyasha growled.

"I must agree with Inuyasha, it's too dangerous to explore the cursed hand of the monk," Sango glared at Miroku.

"Cone on, guys, it can be fun!" Kagome grinned and lifted her hand to silence them. "I won't stick my hand in his hand or anything. I want to put a video camera to hole."

Inuyasha closed his mouth and just glared.

"What's a video camera?" asked Miroku, who was looking at his covered hand.

"It's a contraption which can make moving pictures," Kagome explained. "So you can see events that happened before or far away, as long as you have them recorded."

"Hm."

"Think of it like... You can see actors playing a play as many times as you want, any part of the play."

"Won't they get tired?" asked Shippou.

"They ain't really there, their images are," Inuyasha surprised everyone by answering. He scowled at them. "What?"

"You understand video cameras?" Kagome uttered. The hanyou crossed his arms.

"Feh!" he lifted his nose. "Your mother explains your weird future stuff to me when I'm waiting for your ass at the shrine. I ain't stupid."

"Remarkable!" Miroku looked at his male companion. "I've never thought you would learn about stuff that isn't fighting."

"Keh!"

"I heard that inu youkai are very inclined to explore and learn new things," Sango gave the scowling hanyou a wide smile and then turned to Kagome. "So you want to ue a contraption of your time to inspect what's on the other side of Miroku's palm? It isn't dangerous or anything?"

"It won't hurt him or be dangerous to us..." Kagome decided to ask Inuyasha about his knowledge about modern stuff later. "I mean we must make sure nothing gets sucked in and that's all."

"Hm," Miroku flinched when he saw both girls looking at him, deep in thought. One glance to Inuyasha made him realize the hanyou wouldn't help him now. Shippou looked just happy that there was something to do.

"Children." Kaede said and drew everyone's gaze. "Just don't destroy this old woman's house."

Five minutes later Miroku found himself pinned under a big boulder, curtsey of Shippou, all his friends hidden on one side of the huge stone, which was pretty heavy. On the other side, where his cursed hand was laying limply, stood only Inuyasha, who had his left hand stuck to a similar stone. In his right hand he was holding Kagome's cellphone. While Kagome was still staring at the hanyou he quickly knelt beside Miroku's side.

"You're going to uncover the hand just a little and keep it like that until I tell you," he growled to the monk, who just sighed and nodded.

"Alright."

Kaede slapped her final ward around the two boys and hurried behind the barrier to join the rest. Shippou went to Kagome's backpack for some snacks and missed Inuyasha moving the phone with the camera switched to recording video mode to Miroku's hand.

"Move it," the hanyou growled. Miroku obediently pushed the beads to the side, opeing just a tiny gap in the covering. A strong wind stated to pull things closer, Inuyasha's hair blew around his head and the hanyou grunted as he grasped the phone tighter while letting it approach the wind tunnel. His eyes were focused on the screen where he could see what was recording. Kagome saw surprise in his face just a second before he growled to Miroku and the wind tunnel was covered again. The hanyou, visibly shocked, handed the phone to the young miko.

Kagome grabbed the phone and quickly opened the video, Sango and Kaede looking over her shoulders. The females observed the screen for a minute, before they all looked at Shippou who closed the flap of the backpack and ran to them with a bag of chips.

"Aw, it's over already?" he asked innocently.

"I wish to be freed and see," Miroku said from under his stone. Sango shook herself and quickly tore off the stone a slip of paper, which resulted in making the stone change in a small pebble. The slayer did the same with Inuyasha's stone.

Wordlessly Kagome sat beside the monk and helped Shippou to her lap. Whn they both were looking at the phone screen she started the video again.

Miroku saw a dark space, various shadowy objects stuffed in it. He couldn't make any of them, but he was sure it wasn't a void of nothingness. To his surprise he saw a ray of light coming from above and gasped when the light hit the objects.

"Potato chips, books and ramen cups?" he uttered. A small hand appeared on the screen and grabbed one of the potato chips bags to pull it upwards. Then the light disappeared.

Everyone looked at Shippou's snack.

Then they looked at the overstuffed yellow backpack standing innocently in its corner of Kaede's hut.

A/N: Boredoom is dangerous, kids. Crackfics too.
Don't pretend you had never wondered where all that stuff goes.
Someone joked some time ago Kagome had everything in her backpack.
