InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Bits From The Big Yellow Bag ❯ Coiled Energy ( Chapter 2 )

Coiled Energy

 

He'd been rather upset to crawl into the “never-ending bag” and realize Kagome hadn't brought him pocky. Or crayons. Or coloring books or any other manner of toy or treat!

 

Shippou had pouted as he eyed the gigantic amount of dog-boy's favorite ramen. How could she pamper the one who's so rude and mean to her and ignore the cute little kid!?

 

He had kicked in frustration, but then something inside the bag wiggled and pinched his toe. Inspecting what he'd found with a fangy grin, he grabbed the new toy and ran off.

 

Now he stood atop the shrine stairs, giggling gleefully as shining silver moved in and out of shadows on its way down, gathering energy and moving faster with each step.

 

Kagome stood next to him, not even making a move to halt the descent. In fact, she was laughing, too! She had come out to see what was going on shortly after he began to explore the possibilities with this new toy. A few moments later, InuYasha had followed, grousing about “wasting time” and “no time to play” and other stupid stuff.

 

After one too many “bitch”s infiltrated the hanyou's comments, Kagome sat him.

 

InuYasha had landed close enough to Shippou, that the smaller youkai had been forced to scurry out of the way, dropping his new toy at the edge of the stairs.

 

Now, all eyes followed the rhythmic progress of silver - sparkle, shadow, step… sparkle, shadow, step… - as it drew closer to the bottom.

 

Just before hitting ground, a shadow swept down on the creeping object that had nearly hypnotized everybody watching; dumping her passengers on the ground with a single-minded shrug, Kirara took off with the toy in her mouth.

 

“Oh, no! Kirara!” Kagome shouted, taking off down the steps and just barely missing stepping on InuYasha's twitching, outstretched hand. “Bring me back my slinky!”
