“WHY?!”
SMACK
“Ow! Don’t hit me!” Shippou cried out as he nursed his throbbing head.
“Why?” Inuyasha asked innocently as he went on trying to tie the flowers together without slicing with claws.

“Are you evil?” Shippou asked as he helped with the tulip necklace.
“The last time I checked, I wasn’t.”
“Well, Naraku says you’re evil. Only a certain amount of time before you show your true colors.” The red head went on.
Inuyasha gave him a cold glare. “Look, runt, I am not evil.”
“Sure.” Shippou complied, without much conviction. “You want to know her name?”
Golden eyes snapped onto the little boy. “...”
“I know you do. She has a beautiful name; did you know that? It’s nice to say. You have a weird name. Dog-forest-spirit?” the young male shrugged, “Of course her name isn’t all that much better if you think about it.”
“Oh?” Inu drew his eyebrows together as he studied the kitsune sitting in the grass beside him. His mousy auburn hair was tousled in the wind, and his tiny fox feet were curled under him. Maybe Inuyasha could get some ‘help’ from this kid. “How is her name odd?”
The green-eyed kit titled his head to the side and thought carefully, not aware that he was being used. “Her name isn’t a name...it’s a song game children play and sing.”
Okay, so that made no sense.
“Is her name Hokey Pokey?” Inuyasha guessed.
“No.”
“Um, is it...Red Rover?”
“No.”
“Oh, er, uh...?”
Shippou looked at him oddly, “If that’s all you can come up with, I don’t think you had a very good childhood.”
He was graced with a scowl.
“I had a perfectly good childhood!” the hanyou defended himself.
“Sure. And I’m Mary Poppins...”
“Really?” Inu looked hopeful. “Can you do that umbrella trick?”
“No, but I can spell Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!”
“No shit! Really?”
Shippou nodded eagerly. “Yep! S-u-p-e-r-c-a-l...”
.
“-D-o-c-i-o-u-s!”
Inuyasha looked stunned. “Wow...Even I can't do that!”
Shippou muffled a laugh, “Not all that surprising,” he muttered to himself.
Of course Inuyasha heard. “For your information, I can use my sword!” He proudly held Tetsusaiga (/Tessaiga) out to the mini-youkai.
Shippou looked at the chipped and rusted metal, “Have you ever killed anyone with that?”
“Of course I have,” Inuyasha huffed.
Shippou grinned triumphantly, “So you are evil! I knew it!”
A groan resounded. “Are we back to that now?”

Kagome had disappeared a while before and the two boys were left in the clearing to amuse themselves.
After a necklace, anklet, bracelet, choker, and a circlet that could be used for a crown had been created out of tulips; the two demon descendants had run out of things to craft.
So they resorted to an ancient form of time spending that has been around since the Stone Age.
The good old game of ‘What if?’
Or...
...At least Shippou started the game.
“What if the sky was green?”
“Then it wouldn’t be blue,” Inuyasha grunted as he lounged on the grass with his arms supporting his head from behind.
“What if I wasn’t born a fox demon?”
“Then you’d be human...or some other kind of weak and defenseless demon.”
“What if spiders ruled the world?”
“Then we’d have to live with it because we were too pathetic to protect our own domain...even from those weak arachnids.” Inuyasha sneered.
“What if you stopped pointing out the obvious?” Shippou carried on while laying on Inu’s left.
Inuyasha finally decided to join into the game. “What if you ever shut up?”
“What if I didn’t?”
“What if I made you?” Inu gave a small growl and raised his hackles a bit when he looked over to face the kit.
“What if I was smarter and you couldn’t?”
“What if you used your brain and pulled you head out of your-?” he cut himself off as he had a very suspicious feeling that the woman would know if he said what he had been planning. “-The clouds?” he finished lamely.
“What if a larger and more dangerous youkai came and ate you?”
“What if I fed you to a more dangerous youkai?” Inu retorted in a growl.
“What if I screamed and Okaa-san saved me?” Shippou suggested adoringly.
“What if she didn’t?”
“What if you knew that I can defend my self?” Shippou chirped.
“What if you were lying just to impress me?” Inuyasha asked dryly, believing the young boy was all bark, and little bite.
“What if I wasn’t?”
“What if I said I’d be surprised...and a bit proud?”
“What if I told you that no one has been proud of me since my father was killed?” Shippou asked suddenly, but Inu was glad to see tears were no where near forming.
“What if I told you that I was proud?” He reasoned, not directly relating it to the not crying.
“What if I didn’t believe you?” Shippou questioned dubiously as he eyed the hanyou without trust in the statement.
“Your loss!” The silver haired almost-man shrugged as he rose up onto his legs to sit cross-legged.
“Aw! You ruined it!” Shippou complained.
Inuyasha starred off into space. “When is she coming back?”
The boy shrugged. “I don’t know,” he looked off worriedly into the woods. “She said that she felt horrible about not being prepared when I got sick. She wanted to make sure she was stocked up with her herbs...apparently she knows healing.”
Inuyasha snorted. He rolled his eyes and scoffed. “Liar. I bet she just says that to make herself sound better,” he gave the younger male a mischievous smirk.
Shippou surprised him. “Uh-uh. She’s gone through a lot. She wouldn’t need to tell anyone she’s a healer to gain respect. After sitting through her mother’s death, her father’s betrayal, and her sister’s murderous antics, everyone should respect her.”
Inuyasha was annoyed to feel his heart leap into his throat. Murderous? Better not be, then he’d rip said sister’s heart out and force-feed it to her.
Alright...
...Maybe that was going a little far. But still!
Inuyasha was used to killer siblings. Fluffy was living, walking, talking proof of that. But at least the half-demon could protect himself. As far as he knew, the young maiden was only handy with a bow and arrow or a washcloth.
He smirked in anticipation.
He’d have to teach her how to defend herself. Now that sounded fun.
Of course, when his plans fell into place, she’d have him to protect her.
“Hello?” an annoyed voice called as a small clawed paw waved itself in front of spaced off yellow eyes.
A larger clawed hand snatched at the paw to stop its mesmerizing trip. Inu growled. “Could I have a bit of time to myself to think?”
Shippou looked shocked. “You think? Wow...you do learn new things everyday.”
“Ha ha.” The dog demon muttered. “Yeah...I’m the rude one here. Is everyone blind that it’s really the youth of Japan that is conspiring against me to make me sound like a bad guy?”
The fox gave a deadpan look. “Did that even make sense?”
Inu shrugged. “I don’t know. I lost myself after the word ‘blind’.”
“You’re hopeless.” The boy shook his head slowly and sadly.
Inuyasha gave him a toothy grin. “That’s what you think!”
“Of course that’s what I think! If I wasn’t, than why would I say it?” Shippou snapped frustratingly. This conversation had long since gone insane.
How could Kagome talk to this pea-brain? Shippou could almost hear his brain cells dying one by one.
Inuyasha flicked the kit’s head.
Shippou looked at him through narrowed green eyes. “What was that for?” he sulked.
Inu shrugged. “I wanted to see if I could hear an echo,” his furry white ear gave a small twitch, “and I think I just did.”
“You’re. An. Idiot.”
.

.
“Whacha doin?” Inuyasha asked as he followed Shippou to the nearby stream where Kagome got the water for the dwarves’ cottage.
“Picking up rocks.”
Inu smirked. “Why?”
Shippou gave a small growl, but carried on with grabbing pebbles from the water. “Because it’s fun.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m bored.”
“Why?”
“Because you’re a moron.”
Inuyasha scowled but kept on. “Why?”
“Birth defect.”
“Why?”
“Because you have the brain of a peacock.”
“Why?”
“Because that means you’re a birdbrain.”
“Why?”
“Because a peacock is a bird.”
“Why?”
“Because that’s what smart people say.”
“Why?”
“Because they’re morons.”
“Why?”
“Birth defect.”
Inuyasha rubbed between his eyes. Didn’t they go through this? “Why?”
“Because they have the brain of-.”
“Whoa! Hold it, not starting that again.”
Shippou smirked smugly back at him, “Then I won.”
“Won? What in the seven hells are you talking about?”
“You gave up. I won,” Shippou shrugged going back to collecting rocks.
“No way! You brat! I refuse to lose,” the hanyou huffed and narrowed his golden eyes.
“Whatever,” Shippou shrugged off the challenge.
“What is it with the ‘why’ game anyway?” Inuyasha asked suddenly, his attention span of a gnat flitting over to a new subject.
“It’s fun. And annoying. You know what else is?” the boy asked sweetly, turning back to the white haired hanyou. At Inuyasha’s nod, the boy took a deep breath and began to sing. “---I know a song that gets on everybody’s nerves, everybody’s nerves, everybody’s nerves. I know a song that gets on everybody’s nerves and this is how it goes: I know a song that gets on everybody’s nerves. Everybody’s nerves, everybody’s nerves-! ---”
He stopped grudgingly when a fist collided with the back of his head.
“Will you stop that howl? Gods! I think my ears are forever marred by that wailing!” Inu whined while swiping at his furry triangles.
Shippou grinned. “Then mission accomplished.”
“Do you hate me or something?” Inu growled, leaning down to face the kit nose to nose.
“Yes.”
“Why?” Gods this was getting annoying...
“Because you’re a moron.”
“Why?”
“Birth defect,” the kit smiled.
Inuyasha clutched at his head and began to leap off screaming, “No! My sanity! NOO!”
“What’s his problem?” Kagome asked as she reappeared behind her young friend in time to watch the red and silver blur dash off.
“I don’t know, he’s weird,” Shippou muttered. “Can we go home now?”
“Sure,” Kagome grinned at him. She tucked the ‘kerchief of herbs tighter into her elbow so she could lean down and pick up the fox cub. “You all right there?”
“Yep!” the fox chirped.
“Good. If I can swing it the right way, I might get you to come tomorrow...”
“Really?”
“Well...” she grinned evilly. “I found this wicked leaf that will make you feel hot to the touch without an actual fever. I think Midoriko-sama won’t mind another day off for the sweetest of the dwarves.”
Shippou joined her giggles. “Perfect! How do you know about that plant?”
“Oh...I had a lot of practice using plants with side effects on my sister...”
.
---
.
“No.”
“But Sango-!”
“No.” The brunette shook her head defiantly and gave Miroku the most evil look she could muster.
“Lady Sango-!” Miroku tried again, but the flames behind Sango caused him to gulp and take a step back.
“I don’t care what excuse you give me, but the next time I walk in on you wearing Kagome’s kimono, I’m going to judge your mental state!” She roared and managed to stomp off just before she burst out in giggles.
Miroku was left behind looking sullen while the brown kimono seemed to whisper:
“Just don’t get caught next time.”
Okay...
...
...Now Miroku was questioning his mental state as well.
.

.
“Got any threes?”
“Go fish.” Kagura demanded. “Kings?”
“No, go fish. But now that you mentioned my next scam-.”
“I did no such thing,” Kagura, snorted, outraged. She took the liberty to slip a few extra cards from Naraku’s hand during his rant though...
“-I was thinking if we do it just right, we could pass as a king and queen that have amnesia! It’s genius, all we would have to do is-!”
“Naraku?”
“What, Kagura?” he growled, angry for being interrupted.
“You couldn’t pass for a king even if you had the castle and everything,” she drawled, looking at him in all seriousness.
“Why is that?” he asked coldly.
Kagura looked stunned and said with such simplicity it was elegant, “You don’t have a crown you idiot!”
Oh dear...
“That would be a problem...” Naraku sulked as he began to fine-tune his plan.
.
---
.
“How’d you lose your eye?”
“Well, since ye asked, child, I lost it during...an activity.” Kaede told the girl cautiously.
“What kind?”
“Well...have ye heard of Inuyasha?”
“Yes...”
“Well, we were getting carried away-.”
“Oh dear Buddha! Is this safe for a young girl to listen to?”
Kaede looked baffled. “What? Oh never mind,” she trudged on, “We got distracted during a game of poker...”
She seemed to miss the relieved sigh from Kanna as she listened to the story from her position in the mirror in front of the old miko. The young mirror demoness gave a small chuckle...
For a minute there, she thought Kaede had been talking about...well, yeah.
I mean who wouldn’t deem it strange if you thought you were being told a story of tag? That game is pretty scary...
.

.
“Dur.”
“Mew.”
“Dur.”
“Mew.”
“Du-.”
“That’s it!” Sango snapped. “It’s rude to have a conversation at the dinner table, Hojo, Kirara!”
“Mew.”
“Dur.”
“That’s okay. I accept your apologies,” Sango went back to her rice balls.
.

.
“Sesshoumaru!” Inuyasha burst into his brother’s thrown room. Said brother glared down his nose at him.
“What do you want, Inuyasha?”
“Nothing...Just to see someone worse off than me to prove I’m not insane...”
.
---
.
“Kanna!”
“Yes Kikyou?” the youkai whispered as she appeared from the mist of her mirror in the Queen’s chamber.
“Where have you been?”
“In the Land of Faerie, enjoying a story...” the girl said without missing a beat.
“Really?” Kikyou hard, steel eyes softened a little. “Are the houses really teacups and the flowers made out of sugar?” Her dream like state intensified.
Kanna humored her, “Yes my queen.”
“I think...” Kikyou started softly, giving her head a shake to return to her normally stern self. “I need a drink of that exquisite well water. It has a sweet tang to it, but it seems to have lost it’s potency over the last few weeks...”
“I’m sorry to hear that Queen.” Kanna’s breathy voice sympathized.
“That’s all right Kanna. I’ve been having Kouga guard the well to keep trespassers from it. I’ll have him gather me a glass. I hope he still isn’t sore after that punishment of licking the third floor clean...”
.
Kouga grinned evilly and his ice blue eyes glinted mischievously as he poured the Queen a glass of water from the well he’d accidentally dropped the curry in...
.
.
.
A/N: Okay, yes I know it was short and very pointless. But I wanted to get out a chapter that had some humor in it.
My humor is twisted...so sorry about that. (remember I’m on meds for being sick...)
A chapter that’ll actual move on the plot and make sense will come next. And I promise that it’ll be longer.
Ja ne!

Kaede looked baffled. “What? Oh never mind,” she trudged on, “We got distracted during a game of poker...”
She seemed to miss the relieved sigh from Kanna as she listened to the story from her position in the mirror in front of the old miko. The young mirror demoness gave a small chuckle...
For a minute there, she thought Kaede had been talking about...well, yeah.
I mean who wouldn’t deem it strange if you thought you were being told a story of tag? That game is pretty scary...

“Dur.”
“Mew.”
“Dur.”
“Mew.”
“Du-.”
“That’s it!” Sango snapped. “It’s rude to have a conversation at the dinner table, Hojo, Kirara!”
“Mew.”
“Dur.”
“That’s okay. I accept your apologies,” Sango went back to her rice balls.

“Sesshoumaru!” Inuyasha burst into his brother’s thrown room. Said brother glared down his nose at him.
“What do you want, Inuyasha?”
“Nothing...Just to see someone worse off than me to prove I’m not insane...”

“Kanna!”
“Yes Kikyou?” the youkai whispered as she appeared from the mist of her mirror in the Queen’s chamber.
“Where have you been?”
“In the Land of Faerie, enjoying a story...” the girl said without missing a beat.
“Really?” Kikyou hard, steel eyes softened a little. “Are the houses really teacups and the flowers made out of sugar?” Her dream like state intensified.
Kanna humored her, “Yes my queen.”
“I think...” Kikyou started softly, giving her head a shake to return to her normally stern self. “I need a drink of that exquisite well water. It has a sweet tang to it, but it seems to have lost it’s potency over the last few weeks...”
“I’m sorry to hear that Queen.” Kanna’s breathy voice sympathized.
“That’s all right Kanna. I’ve been having Kouga guard the well to keep trespassers from it. I’ll have him gather me a glass. I hope he still isn’t sore after that punishment of licking the third floor clean...”
.
Kouga grinned evilly and his ice blue eyes glinted mischievously as he poured the Queen a glass of water from the well he’d accidentally dropped the curry in...

A/N: Okay, yes I know it was short and very pointless. But I wanted to get out a chapter that had some humor in it.
My humor is twisted...so sorry about that. (remember I’m on meds for being sick...)
A chapter that’ll actual move on the plot and make sense will come next. And I promise that it’ll be longer.
Ja ne!
