CH.7: FOX FLIRT

One month later, Shippo was at Inuyasha and Kagome's hut. Only Inuyasha was there, Kagome had thrown up earlier that morning and was with the girls to see whats wrong.

"So" Inuyasha began. "What's up, kid?"

Shippo coughed, blushing a little. "It's… hum… it's about… Kodi."

"You like her?" He asked, interrupting the fox.

Shippo blushed furiously, scratching the back of his head. "Well… kinda."

"So, you're in love with her?" He asked

"I'm not!" He exclaimed. "I mean… Sure she's beautiful, and I'm kind of attracted to her, but I'm not in love with her… I think…"

"What do you like about her?" He asked.

He smiled. "Her eyes… She has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen…"

"You poor, poor kid…" Inuyasha said in pity.

"I… Hum…" He stammered, blushing again.

"So, what are you going to do?" He asked.

"Well, that's why I came to talk to you, so you could advice me." He explained.

"You could tell her how you feel, try flirting, or keep it for yourself."

"I think I like the third solution better…" He sighed.

"You can't keep it forever."

"But… what if she doesn't like me?"

"You never know."

He blushed. "Thanks"

"Anytime, squirt."

Kagome came out of the hut in a state of shock. The girls, including Kodi, all came out giggling. Finally, here she was, beautiful as always, and she looked at him.

"I… Well… I was waiting for… you." He stammered, blushing.

Kodi lifted a brow. "Do you have something to tell me?"

"A-Actually, yes." He answered, scratching the back of his head nervously. She waited a moment, but he didn't say anything.

"Well, what's it?" She asked.

"Well… I was wondering if you'd want to… you know; hang out with me sometime…Of course if you don't want to I completely understand."

"Shippo, are you hitting on me?"

He blushed. "I...Well… Hum… Maybe?" He stuttered, looking at her hopefully.

"Don't be so nervous, I don't bite, you know." She said, giggling once again.

He laughed softly, relaxing a little. "So… would you?"

"Hmm… I don't know…" She said. "Maybe, if you do something for me."

"What is it?"

"Close your eyes."

He lifted his brows, but did as he was told. "What now?" He asked his eyes closed.

He then felt something soft and wet touch lighty his lips, and before he could register what it was the sweet touch left his lips. Slowly, he opened his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him, blinking. She was grining at him, a light blush gracing her cheeks.

"See you later, cutey!" She said, walking away.

"Did she just... kiss me?"
