Bang!

Bang! Shippo watched the display, chortling, before dashing out with a fresh handful of flowers. Uprighting the statue and placing the new bouquet in the outstretched hand, he ran back to his hiding place.

Bang! The flowers rocketed upward as the statue was flung onto its back. With a second and louder bang, they burst into a display of arching, multicolored sparkles against the late night sky.

"Yes!" shouted Shippo, unable to contain his glee. Finally, he had perfected his fireworks trick, which would surely gain him a promotion in the upcoming youjutsu exam. Dismissing the enlargement spell on the statue and pocketing it, he remembered fondly the time that Kagome had brought some fireworks from her time. How he had loved them! There'd never been any more, for all his begging, (stupid, noise-hating hanyo!), but now he'd perfected his own.

He snickered as he ran towards the village. "He'll hate this trick," he whispered to himself. "Can't wait--"

Bang!

Shippo's chin, along with the rest of him, hit the ground, accompanied by a silent firework display of stars. "Ow," he complained as his whirling thoughts coalesced. He found himself nose to nose with a smirking hanyo.

"Next time, quit waking me up every night," suggested Inuyasha.

Shippo wilted. He'd been so sure he was out of range.

Dropping him, Inuyasha jumped up the tree. Shippo watched him go, forlorn.

"By the way--good luck on the exam. Bang their ears out."

Shippo brightened, and grinned.

"Yeah!"
