"I've done it !" Hank cried.

"Done what ?" Shippo asked. The proud scientist held up a small doll.

"You made a doll ? Big deal" the kitsune answered.

"Its not any ordinary doll. It's a voodoo doll !" he said in a manic tone. Shippo looked at the figure closely and saw that it resembled Vespa.

"Now watch" Hank said, taking out a feather. He began tickling the doll with the feather.

In the other room, Inu-yasha and Vespa were making out on the couch. Then a tickling sensation came to Vespa's body and she began laughing wildly.

"What's the matter with you ?" Inu-yasha asked.

"Stop tickling me !" she cried while bending over, clutching her stomach from laughter.

"I'm not tickling you, unless you want me to !" Inu-yasha said with a playful grin. Vespa fell to the floor in a mad laughing fit.

Hank stopped tickling the doll. "Let me play with it !" Shippo shouted. Hank gave him the doll. Shippo tossed the doll into a wall.

Downstairs, Vespa had stopped laughing, but then was thrust into a wall. "Ouch..." she said dryly. Inu-yasha sweat-dropped. "Are you deliberately trying to hurt yourself ? You're acting stranger than normal" he said. "It's not me, stupid !" she yelled. In the other room, Shippo began tossing the doll up into the air and catching it.

"AAAAAAAHHH !" Vespa screamed as she was flipped into the air several times. "Feh, you aliens are weird. I'm outta here" Inu-yasha said as he left.

Hank took the doll away from Shippo and held up a needle. "You're doing it all wrong ! Like this !" he said before jamming the needle into the doll.

Vespa's eyes widened and she let out an ear splitting scream while running around in circles. Inu-yasha ran into the room and saw her screaming while holding her head.

"you havin' a migraine ?" he asked.

"My head is gonna explode !" she cried before screaming again.

"Okay, enough of that torture" Hank said, taking the needle out of the doll. Vespa immediately stopped screaming and fell to the floor.

"That was fun !" Shippo laughed.

"Yep, now watch this" Hank chuckled, holding the doll over a burning candle. Vespa was still unconscious as her body was set aflame. Her clothes began to burn away quickly. Inu-yasha's eyes grew wider and wider as Vespa's clothing shrank. Sesshomaru came into the room and saw what was going on.

He stared at them both with narrow eyes. "No matter how weird this is, I am not interested about your sex life, Inu-yasha" he said before backing out of the room. Inu-yasha merely blinked, then took Vespa into his arms and went to his room.

Back in Hank's room, he and Shippo were suppressing their laughter. "Okay, enough of this. We're acting like juveniles" Hank said. "What ?" Shippo asked. "It means we're acting like mindless, adolescent beings" he explained.

"Come again ?" the fox demon asked. "We're acting like children ! Sheesh ! Expand your vocabulary !" the coyote yelled. "Ohh ! Why didn't you say so ?" Shippo said. Hank anime fell.

After putting the doll back in its place, he and Shippo left his room. Not too soon after, little Mimi came in. "Hank-san, can I have some paper to draw on ?" she asked. No answer. "Aww, he's not here..." she sighed. Then she saw a wooden box and looked inside of it. "Oh wow ! Look at all the cute dolls ! They even look like everyone !" she chimed.

Yes, Mimi had found all the voodoo dolls Hank had made, each one looked like a different person who lived in the house. She laughed as she took the box and ran to her room and shut the door behind her. "This is gonna be FUN !" Mimi cried happily. Oh, if only everyone knew they would be toyed with soon. If only they knew...
