A/N: For this one have in mind that the kotodama is 'sit'.
Alt-Med
Shippou looked at his scraped elbow and then up at her, tears of bravely kept in pain filling his eye.
"Kagome..." the little kitsune whined. The miko smiled softly and reached for his arm to gently pull it closer as she leaned in. She placed a little kiss to the barely reddened and already healing skin.
"Here. Now it's better," she assured the boy.
"It's all? No colorful paper to stick to my skin?" the kitsune asked. He was totally in love with colorful band aids, but the scrape wasn't big enough to warrant a band aid.
"It's an alternative medicine thing," she explained. "You're good." Shippou returned her smile and then ran back to play. Kagome watched him go before she resumed reading her book.
But she couldn't focus because a certain hanyou's youki was teasing her reiki. He was somewhere behind her, getting closer and closer. She sighed.
"Inuyasha s-." she was going to say 'stop sneaking up on me',, but she heard a thud. When she looked back she saw Inuyasha sprawled out on the ground. "Inuyasha! I... I'm sorry, I don't know what happens!"
Was the rosary broken? She hadn't said 'sit' and yet the poor boy was subjugated. He looked up and she saw that during his fall his fang cut his lip, a thin trickle of blood running down his chin. He was bound to be annoyed, so she expected him to throw at least a curse word.
"Can you give me some alternative medicine for this?" he asked, hope in his voice.
It took her a second to understand what he was talking about. Then she giggled and put her book aside. 'That crafty dog hanyou...'
"Come 'ere, you," she leaned in towards the prone hanyou who eagerly lifted himself off of the ground on his hands.
