Wonder

By Icka! M. Chif

"I wonder..." Shippou murmured from Kagome's shoulder. The five of them were walking along a dirt path, Inuyasha in the lead, then Kagome pushing her bike along, followed by Sango and Miroku. Things had been peaceful, and this had been the first real break for conversation.

"You wonder what?" She inquired.

"I wonder if Inuyasha has a tail." He remarked.

Kagome blinked. That had been unexpected. Sango spoke up from behind her. "That's a good question."

Inuyasha's back stiffened as everyone started at his lower backside. "I am right here." He growled, the tips of his ears turning pink.

It was rather hard to stare at his butt if he wasn't there, Kagome thought with amusement. "I can't tell if he does or not." She finally admitted.

"I know one way you can find out." Miroku volunteered.

"Really? How?"

A gentle hand caressing her bottom cased her to freeze in mid-step. Sango punched Miroku.

"Ow." Miroku rubbed the spot where she had hit him. Sango rolled her eyes.

"You know, I am right here." Inuyasha snarled.

"You could always check while he's bathing." Shippou offered.

Kagome turned red. "Shippou!"

Shippou looked at here with wide innocent blue eyes. "What?" He found nothing wrong with bathing together.

"Turn about is fair play." Miroku added, a slight smile in his tone.

Sango sniffed disdainfully. "Does that mean we get to spy on you?"

Miroku was saved from having to answer by Inuyasha snapping "I AM right HERE!" He was getting fed up with them talking about him like he wasn't there.

"I wonder..." Shippou pondered, undisturbed by the larger youkai's outburst.

"You wonder what?" She inquired.

"I wonder just how mad we can make him..."

Fin.
