Pint Sized! Ch.4 
 
By Lunaticneko 
 
My muses came down from there sugar high and inspired this. This up should make up a 
bit for the lack of humor in the last one. That and I needed to fix a few things in 3. 
Nothing major. Hope you enjoy. Please Read and Review.

Ch.4 Fear lesson 101 
 
 
Sesshoumaru sat bored. The monk and slayer were cuddling. The Miko had gone off to 
do, God knows what. His only entertainment had been the demon child. 
 
He had place a steaming bowl of noodles on the ground and walked away. Immediately 
his dim-wit half brother&nb sp;picked it up and  tried to consume it. In the end he ended up with 
a mouth full of wood shavings. He spotted the laughing kit and started chasing after him. 
Which lead to now. Seeing as there was no mayhem to enjoy, he got up and left in search 
of the miko. 
 
She was&n bsp;in a open field not far from camp picking some herbs she had spotted earlier. 
Sesshoumaru spotted something in the grass and a plan slowly formed. Coming up 
behind the woman-child. â€œMik o, you should work on this fear of yours.†
 
Kagome  didn’t even look back. â€œYeah, I’m working on it.†
 
“Good, then catch.†
 
Kagome spun around confused, only to dodge at the last second as a earth worm flew 
past. â€ œWhat are you doing?!†
 
“Working on you fear.†
 
She pointed a finger  at him in furry. â€œI KNEW you would use this against me!† 
 
He held his head high. â€œTch. This Sesshoumaru is only teaching you a lesson in coping.†
 
She gave him an odd look. â€œWhy are you trying to help me anyways?†
 
“This  Sesshoumaru is merely bored, and this seemed like it would be time well spent.†
 
â ;€˜I really needed to break him of that habit. He just sounds crazy.’ â€ œIsn’t there a less harsh 
method.†
 
 He loo ked at his nails picking away invisible dirt. â€œIt’s  for your own good. What if a

large&n bsp;youkai worm was to attack.  How would you fair against that?† 
 
Kagome  waved her  hand at him. â€œPch. I’d be just fine. It’s only the small ones that 
bother me.† 
 
His& nbsp;brow furrowed. â€œHow’s that?†
 
She stared intensely at him. â€œ They are hard to see and can sneak up on you.†All said in 
dead seriousness. 
 
At this he flung another worm. 
 
Moving aside she scowled at him. â€œCome on! Really now this isn’t fair.†
 
 â€œItâ €™s fair considering you tried to use this Sesshoumaru as an arrow.†He narrowed his 
eyes at her towards the end. 
 
â&eu ro;œI can’t believe you! I&nbs p;said I was sorry for crying out loud!†
 
He&nb sp;picked up the next worm in his stack, yes stack, and chucked it at her.  He had three 
left. 
 
She dodged again. â€œQuit it would yah!†
 
He looked to be in deep thought. â€œHm… ha ving worms around you doesn’t seem to 
bother you  ;that much.†
 
“Yeah , not really. If I was surrounded maybe, but it’s really more that their touching me.†
 
“Oh is that so.†He tried to hide the mirth from his face, but it still glimmered in his eyes. 
“Then pick up the worm.†
 
Kagome just stared at him like he’d gone crazy. â€œWhat?†
&nbs p;
He looked bored. â€œYou heard me Miko. Pick up the worm.†He said slowly and firm. 
Leaving no room for argument. 
 
‘Well at least he didn’t refer to himself in the 3rd person.’ She looked at one of the worms 
then back to the little devil. â€œCan& acirc;€™t I use a stick?†She gave him the most sad pathetic 
eyes she could muster. 
 
He sighed. â€œTo begin with.†
 
She slowly approached one of the wiggling creatures. She moved her stick towards it, 
then back, then towards it, then back again.

â&eu ro;œMiko.†
 
“R-&nb sp;Right.†She quickly darted forward and flung the poor thing in the air. Which she 
promptly had to dodge as it almost landed on her. She looked over at her â€&til de;would be 
teacher’ expectantly. 
 
“Again.†
 
So she did it again. 
 
“Now without&nb sp;the stick.†
 
“Wh at why without it?†She looked freaked. 
 
“You don’t like them touching you right?†She nodded. â€œ Th en come to them first. Touch 
them first.†
 
â& euro;œCan’t we do this in the next session or something?â € She pleaded. 
 
“Does  it look like this I have ample free time on my hands?†
 
“Wellâ&eu ro;¦.†
 
His left eye ticked. â€œMiko, focus.†
 
She sighed. And turned on another earth worm. Her hand slowly came close to it and 
hover shaking. She sat there shaking not moving for the  longest time, that he almost 
called her off. But then her hand shot forward, and picked it from the grass. 
 
“ Yes! I did it.†She beam as she held it far from her. A second later she looked sick. 
“Eck. It’s slimy.†She looked  over to see him smirking. â€œYou& acirc;€™re getting some kind of 
sick amusement out of this, aren’t you?!†
 
His eyes twinkled in mischief. â€œYes.†
 
& acirc;€œUgh.†She flung the worm at him, to which he caught and flung back.  
 
“Again.â€&nb sp;
 
Her shoulders drooped. â€&oeli g;Can we just give it a break?†
 
She looked generally tired, so he consented with a nod. She started to walk back. â€˜It is 
probably draining to face your fear â€¦hands on.â&eu ro;™ A smirk still tugged at his lips. 
“Mikoâ€&brvb ar;†
 
She turned back. â€œYeah?†
 

---

 
 
“From now on, every time we rest and you see a earth worm, you are to fling it.†
 
She looked at him  ;like a child given an unwanted choir. â€œDo I have to?†
 
“ Yes, you have to keep it up if you want to concur your fear. Are we understood?â€& nbsp;
 
“Yes.†She gl ared at him as he past. He would definitely be one of her least favorite 
teachers.&n bsp;
