"Hey, Inuyasha!" piped up little Shippo from his place next to Kilala, looking curiously at the hanyou's face. "What's that stuff all over your face? Did that demon hurt you or something?" Inuyasha and Kagome had gone out scouting for a few hours before dinner, Inuyasha claiming to have caught wind of a hostile youkai. Blushing, the half-demon now rubbed at his face, trying to remove the red smudges.
Suddenly, the wind shifted, and Shippo got a good nose-full of the strange substance, and instantly his head whipped towards Kagome. Her face was equally red, and she swiped at her lips, trying to be inconspicuous. Unfortunately for her, not much missed the boy's keen eyes. "Kagome! You've got it too! What happened?"
The miko muttered something incoherent and sent a sideways look at Inuyasha, blushing crimson. If only she hadn't decided that this was the day to take Ayumi's advice and wear a little makeup. "Nothing... important..." Though the kitsune continued to look puzzled, the tajiya and the monk exchanged a satisfied look over his head.
