The Best Prankster

Shippou studied his hanyou nemesis warily.  Inuyasha still held out his hand, waiting for Shippou to shake it in what he had explained was a gesture of peace from the modern era.  The young fox sensed something was up, but couldn’t put his finger on it.  He took Inuyasha’s hand.  

*BUZZ*

“Wah!” Shippou cried, wrenching his hand away.  Inuyasha instantly began cackling like a buffoon.  Shippou scowled, hating the fact that he’d been tricked by that clueless bonehead.  

“And dumb kitsune makes three!” Inuyasha declared.  “I’ve already gotten a dumb bouzu and a dumb taijiya with that today.”  

“Your maturity amazes me, Inuyasha,” Kagome mumbled sarcastically from her position on the other side of Kaede’s hut, her nose buried in a textbook.  

“Keh.”  

“Can I see it, Inuyasha,” Shippou asked, resorting to his ‘cute eyes.’  The hanyou shrugged and tossed the joy buzzer to him, striding out of the hut in search of something else which could amuse him.  

“Hey, Shippou-chan,” Kagome whispered, motioning him over with a mischievous grin.  The expression passed to Shippou as well as she related her plan to give Inuyasha a taste of his own medicine.  It would require precise timing, but what were kitsune if not expert pranksters?  

It was later, when the entire Inu-gang had arrived in Kaede’s hut for dinner, that Shippou made his move.  Just as the blissfully ignorant hanyou was seating himself on the floor, the fox slid the buzzer across the wood surface.  The timing was perfect.  

*BUZZ*

“YAH!!!”

Inuyasha literally leapt into the air, reflexively grabbing his rear end as his cranium impacted the ceiling above.  Then he plummeted to the floor, landing in an ungraceful heap.  And as the room erupted in uproarious laughter, Shippou’s triumphant grin left no doubt as to who the best prankster was.
