[Chapter five starts now]

Inuyasha landed gracefully in a new forest Shippo was now being held near his waist. Man he would never get used to Inuyasha running and jumping skills. Then again being afraid of heights didn't help either.

Inuyasha: Alright runt first then first we have get cleaned up.

Shippo: cleaned but I had a bath with kagome last night? I don't want to..

Inuyasha: shut up! I smell like blood form that stupid bear cub and you smell like crap.

Shippo: NO I, (crash)

Inuyasha: (stepping on Shippo's head) Hey I told you to shut up. This is where we will be hunting so try not to give us away.

Sniffing to where he knew a lake was. He picked up Shippo and ran towards it. Once found the two stripped of there clothing and jumped in. Shippo instantly freezing in the cold lake. Though Inuyasha didn't seem to mind as he dogged paddled his way to the other side.

Shippo: (shivering) Inuyasha this water is cold.

Inuyasha: (eyes closed) Shut up runt, cold water is good for your fur.

Shippo: Kagome doesn't take cold baths.

Inuyasha: well I'm not Kagome am I?

Shippo: You're so mean.

Inuyasha: Just wash yourself out and get out.

Shippo did as told, though in seeing that Inuyasha was off guard and valuable for the moment from the moment he decided to play a trick on him. Think of a good one he transform into a water lizard and went under water towards Inuyasha.

Inuyasha: (Jumping about three feet in the air holding his sore butt) OWWWWWW! What the hell just bit me! (Letting out a deadly growl) Myoga if it's…..

Upon landing seeing a rather brown and fuzzy water lizard that strangely enough had a puffy brown tail. Putting two to two together easily, Inuyasha puck Shippo out of the water and then slamming him into the lake till his transformation broke. Though he could still hear Shippo laughing into between yelp as his body hit the cold water.

Inuyasha: You think that was funny!?! (Little puffs of stream coming out of his ears) Well guess what? I think we should go back and wait for Kagome.

Shippo: No, I am sorry Inuyasha. I wont do it again. I promise! I do anything you want.

Inuyasha: You better be, oh and I guess you can wash my hair out.

Shippo: NOOO! Anything but that! It going to take forever! `Besides since when do you wash your hair?'

Inuyasha: you wanna learn how to hunt?

Shippo: Yes.

Inuyasha: Then do it, and don't get any water in my ears.

Shippo sigh in defeated as he went about the nerve-racking task of cleaning out Inuyasha long silver mane. Man, he hoped he never got pinned to a tree if this is what happens to your hair. Though now that he remembered his dad's tail was a lot like Inuyasha's hair. Coarse, thick, and bushy only it was light red instead of silver. Inuyasha on the other hand was thinking on how to get Kagome to pay him back for all this.

That was a no brainer a box of the instant noodle would do wait no two, two boxes. She wasn't just a shard hunter she was reliable for food sometimes too. Which is why he decided not to get rid of her after the jewel shards had been collected. Though his thoughts where interrupted when he heard Shippo snoring on top of his head. Having a naked Kitsune cub that was clutching onto your hair and using it for a blanket wasn't very flattering either. Then it was the extra weight on his head and his ears where getting water in them.

Inuyasha: Hey wake up you! (Slamming him into the cold water)

Shippo: Ow! Hey, what was that for!

Inuyasha: Don't use my hair for a blanket runt!

Shippo: Sorry. Its just remind me of my father tail I used to curl in it and go to sleep.

Inuyasha: Feh, you're such a pup.

Shippo: AM NOT!

Inuyasha: ARE TOO!

Shippo: AM NOT!

Inuyasha: ARE TOO!

Shippo: Take this mutt. (Splashes him with a handful of water.)

Inuyasha: Okay now you ask for it runt. I told you not to get water in my ears. (Light growl)

The two have a giant water fight, though Shippo was clearly in a disadvantage, plus he still wasn't quite used to the cold water. Finally getting some more water in Inuyasha's ears and eyes he took the advantage of the situation and squirted out water at Inuyasha like a water pokemon. After a few more splashes deliver Inuyasha retreated.

Inuyasha: All right, all right. Gez you win, you win.

Shippo: HA! I beat you! (Nothing but smiles from ear to ear.)

Inuyasha: Feh, I let you win. (Smirking an trying to get the water out of his ears)

Shippo: feh, whatever dog-boy.

Inuyasha: (light growl) You're spending too much time with Kagome. Now lets go its getting out.

Shippo: Okay!

Inuyasha got out and shook himself out on all fours. (Like a real dog) While Shippo used his tail to dry himself off then putting back all his clothes, though leaving his hair down for the time being. After rolling around a few more times, Inuyasha got dressed himself and started to sniff around.

Inuyasha: Alright runt we start off with your favorite.

Shippo: Chicken and candy!

Inuyasha: (Half smirk) Nope rabbits.

Shippo: (Sweat drop) very funny Inuyasha.

Inuyasha: let's go runt.

Picking Shippo up by his collar he leapt back to they first were laying low to the ground. Go over some basic attacks and hunting tricks. They were ready to catch their dinner. Tying his green bow back on his head and full of self-confidence, Shippo was more than ready in his mind.

Inuyasha: all right runt if you mess up then we go hungry tonight.

Shippo: I won't you'll see.

Inuyasha: shut up, keep low, and do exactly as I showed you. Now wait for the signal.

What seem like forever to Shippo before Inuyasha gave him the signal go. Shippo was off quickly and making all his movements swift but quite as possible. He quickly gave a half dozen rabbits. (A/n: Poor rabbits never knew what hit them)

[Afterwards]

Shippo: I can't believe it! I did it! Me! Shippo the great and mighty kitsune youkia of all time!

Inuyasha: Shut up Shippo and hurry up and eat so we can go. I can't wait for Kagome to come back.

Shippo: Really? So, you like her now. Are you going let her be you're mate and stuff? Hey! That the first time you said my name all day.

Inuyasha face flushed red, who was telling this kit stuff like this? It surely wasn't him. Kagome? Mate? Yeah right. He rather shave his head and chop his ears off than to have any more contact with that wench. No matter if she did smell kind of good. Oh Kami, no he did not just finally admit that to himself! Shaking his head wildly to clear all unwanted thoughts.

Inuyasha: You really make me sick Shippo. I can't wait to you big enough to live on you own.

Shippo: That's not a nice thing to say!

Inuyasha: Whatever we're leaving and its your job to put out the fire.

Shippo: Okay.

In a flash they were near the well waiting for Kagome to come back, Shippo was still quite full of himself. As Inuyasha settled down in a tree, somehow without Kagome these days were jus too boring for him. Because of this Shippo started to sleepy and bored himself. Climbing up towards Inuyasha for safety reasons. Seeing that Inuyasha was asleep.

Shippo: I wonder if . . . . .

Shippo didn't it was a second thought he wrapped Inuyasha hair around himself which at first was hard since Inuyasha was on his back. Once finding a comfortable position on Inuyasha chest Shippo, all snug and warm, fell asleep as well.

[Sunset]

Kagome climb out the well after throwing her big heavy bag up and over the lip of the well. Surprise Inuyasha wasn't barking at her like he usually would be she set off towards Kaede's hut. Though thinking all the while Inuyasha could be hiding from her so he could scare her when she least expected it or mad at her and taking it out on Shippo by beating on him. It wasn't her fault she had to stay two hours after school because of make up tests. Though walking around the forest was still something she wasn't really used to plus her bag was heavy she wish Inuyasha was around.

Kagome: Inuyasha? Hey Inuyasha if you can hear me you better not pounce on me again or I'll make you hit the ground so hard you won't be able to see straight for weeks. Inuyasha?

Kagome quickly to a stop, not to far from the well slept Inuyasha and Shippo all snug up together in a tree. One would think they were father and son with Inuyasha hair wrapped in front of him because shippo was using it like a blanket. This was totally a Kodak moment. She had to show this to Kaede quick before Inuyasha woke up.

Kaede was just about to go inside herself for the night seeing that neither Kagome or Inuyasha had return. Finally, have some peace now that they were either finding some more jewel shards till out of the blue Kagome ran up and after a quickly conversation nearly dragged Kaede to where Inuyasha and Shippo were. Kaede eye went wide with surprise to see the two so.

Kaede: It seems these two have bonded nicely today.

Kagome: Whoa who would have thought Inuyasha would accept Shippo that easily. (Anime starry eyes effect on Kagome) They look so super cute!

Inuyasha had picked up the scent of Kagome a while ago but had ignored it just like the fact that the little runt had curled up against him. Though now Kagome scent seems stronger and sweeter and it would seem that Kaede old earthly scent was there too. Also, he was pretty sure that he heard kagome speaking just now. He halfway opened his eyes. Oh No! Inuyasha sat straight up when he saw that he had an audience.

Inuyasha: Hey this is not what it looks like! Get off me ya little runt.

Shippo was then knocked to the ground though Inuyasha followed right after him when Kagome gave the sit command. Kaede had a sweat drop on the back of her head as she headed back to her hut. She knew this wasn't go to end well. Shippo was bursting with joy now that Kagome was back and readily leapt in her arms. As Inuyasha started his barking routine on why she take so long to come back and next time he was going to check out this "skool" of hers to find out what was so important about it.

[At Kaede]

Shippo: Yup and it was big to but I wasn't scared cause Inuyasha was there to save me.

Kagome: really?

Shippo: Yup and then….

Kagome kept stealing looks of great admiration at Inuyasha, as Shippo told about their adventures during the day. She knew he wasn't such a bad guy at all. Myoga even thought so after having to hop his way all the way back to wherever he had been. Kaede made silent chuckles as Shippo told about Inuyasha and his water fight.

Inuyasha left in after getting sick of everyone saying what a good guy he had been towards Shippo. Though he was secretly happy about how the day went in his on way minus the two sits he got. Kagome really owed him now as he hopped back in a tree. Only before, he knew it.

Kagome: Hey Inuyasha are you hungry.

Inuyasha: Maybe it depends.

Kagome: (Smiling) How about some beef favor ramen.

Inuyasha: (jumps down in a flash) Now you're speaking my language.

Kagome: You a great guy after all Inuyasha.

Inuyasha: feh, I'm was just bored. That's all.

Kagome: whatever dog-boy.

So Inuyasha went in got his ramen and fell back to sleep after having some self-reflecting. Shippo with a more than full stomach snuggled near Kagome and as the fire died down. All in all, it had been a great day for everyone especially since Shippo had finally learned how to hunt.
