Todays Star is Shippou-chan!
Getting Even
Shippou loves to play. In particular he loves playing pranks. Even more specifically he loves playing pranks on Inuyasha.
You could attribute it to his young age if you'd like but it was more to due with his nature. He would always be a Kitsune, and Kitsune by nature are tricksters.
Leaping from branch to branch, the mischievous tike's tail twitched excitedly as he took stock of his available prey. Bright green eyes shone with sharp intelligence and excitement. However, it soon came to his attention that something was very wrong. His tail paused and his spirits dipped.
Inuyasha…was gone?
His heart sunk further and he got ready to give up on today's devious plot; the rest of them where no fun. After all Kagome endured his antics; Sango and Kirara just ignored them.
Shippou frowned as he studied his only other option. Miroku. The frown covering the boy's features morphed into a scowl big enough to show a hint of fang; fur bristling at a rather unpleasant memory.
He didn't like playing pranks on the Monk. Tucking his favorite tools away for later- for when Inuyasha returned from where ever he'd gone off too- Shippou was careful to keep them from making any noise. The tiniest squeak or jingle could give him away. He didn't want to do anything to draw that evil mans presence.
The Monk might seem unassuming and innocent but Shippou knew better.
You see, while Inuyasha merely gets angry at his pranks…
Miroku gets even.
FIN
For documention sake this was origionally posted and written for the live journal community Iyfic_contest's Weekly Drabble, on Febuary 22nd, 2012.
The prompt was "Squeak" with a word limit of 100-250 words. This stands at a perfect 250. It also won joint first! Which made me ridiculously excited and humble. :D
Hope you all enjoyed!
