--If You're Hungry Enough--
Shippo sighed contentedly, licking the last traces of the chocolate pocky off his tiny fingers. Mmm... I love it when Kagome brings me this stuff... However, as the chocolate/sugar euphoria wore off, he began to glance around for some more sweets. Hmm... maybe there's some more in her backpack... she always keeps extra goodies in there.
Hopping over to the yellow monstrosity, Shippo leaped at the bag happily and began to root through, eventually crowing with delight as he pulled out a bright yellow box, similar to the packages pocky arrived in. The kitsune eyed the intended gift with approval- this was even more attractively coloured than the other chocolate boxes, with its rainbow-hued sticks of candy.
His claws made quick work of the box, and he pulled out a nice green stick out with an experimental sniff. Ugh, doesn't smell very good... kinda like the candles Kaede uses, actually..
...But it's so pretty...
Some time later, Kagome returned to the camp, only to find the remains of a few half-gnawed crayons. And, strangely enough, from then on Shippo would transform whenever a candle or some honey-comb happened to be nearby.
A/N: (blushes) Alright, this fic was another request (for a platonic Kagome/Shippo fic), but I can't remember who exactly asked for it. It took me so long to cultivate a plot-bunny, and the review was lost to the chasms of the Internet, I guess. I'm sorry, I hope the fic makes up for my rudeness!!! Anyways, if you're still reading, thank you for making the request, and I hope you like it!
