Tummy Rubs
Shippou was but a child, young and not knowing much about the world. But he knew that each and every formidable fighter or cunning strategist, every person had a weak spot, something that could bring them down and make their resolve crumble.
They were camping in a lovely meadow in the forest near a village, waiting for Sango's return from performing an extermination. Usually at least Miroku would accompany her as a backup, but sadly, this was one of the villages the monk conned before and they were also wary of youkai and oddly clothed girls. So, while Sango was dealing with a youkai infestation in the village, the rest was spending time on doing homework, playing, napping or meditating.
"Say, Inuyasha..." Kagome said from her spot under a tree, looking at the hanyou laying next to her, with his hands under his head. Shippou looked up to see the dog ears on top of his head twitching. "Couldn't we stay here for tonight? I mean Sango will be tired when she comes back and we all could rest, catch up on stuff and just..."
"Nope. She drags her butt here and we're off," Inuyasha cut her in without opening his eyes. "She will ride on Kirara anyway and the day is still young, we can make progress on the hunt instead of dawdling."
"But..."
"No buts, wench," Inuyasha said in the tone that meant he wasn't going to change his mind. Shippou was already seated to watch the show unfold, as was Miroku, who abandoned his meditation in order to watch the quarrel that was sure to come.
Kagome glared at the hanyou next to her and put her book on the grass, her hands flexing as she slowly bent towards the boy.
"Inuyasha," she drawled dangerously.
"Keh! Just drop it, wench!"
Shippou and Miroku stared open mouthed as the girl carefully rested her hand on top of Inuyasha;s belly and rubbed it slowly in a circle. The hanyou first got tense, but as soon as he realized she wasn't going to hurt him, his muscles went lax. To Shippou's surprise the scowl was wiped off of Inuyasha's face, replaced by a relaxed, lazy look that the kitsune rarely saw on his dog friend.
"I-nu-ya-sha..." Kagome purred now, her hand never stopping its rubbing motion. The inu failed to bark out a denial, humming only a sound that was too soft for even Shippou to pick up. "It's just one day... We all could use some rest and relaxation, you too, my..."
Sadly, Shippou never got to hear what she was going to say or if Inuyasha was going to cave in under this soft treatment, because Miroku burst into laughing.
"Hey!" Inuyasha's eyes flew open and sent daggers at the monk rolling in the grass like a mad man.
"Sorry..." be wheezed between chuckles, while everyone glared at him. "I didn't mean to..."
"Quit laughing, you moron!" Inuyasha barked, sitting up and pushing Kagome's hand away from his tummy, both blushing fiercely.
"Your foot... She rubbed... Twitchy-twitch..." Miroku tried to communicate something and while Shippou couldn't piece the message it became clear that the other two could because the blushes deepened and Inuyasha scoffed and cursed the monk before stomping away into the forest. Pouting Kagome hid her embarrassment behind her textbook.
'I'll never understand adults,' Shippou shook his head, but decided to store away the information, that Inuyasha's weakness was a tummy rub. He had this sneaking suspicion that Kagome had been seconds from making him change his mind without utilizing the beads or bribery.
