Hey all my loyal reviewers! Guess what, I have finished writing the sequel to ‘daycare!’ and am at this very moment typing it up! It will be posted within the next week or two! And if it’s a little late, well that’s 'cause I’m grounded! Maybe I'll make a fiction on how kagome (inuyasha) is grounded. But any way's, here’s a short fic I wrote one day because I was grounded and had nothing better to do! Enjoy!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“Oi...” Kagome sighed irritably

She had been teaching shippo how to swim since dawn, and it was now 12:00 noon. And even though she had asked for Inuyasha’s help...He had refused, saying that shippo could die for all he cared.

Kagome looked over to the kitsune in question. He was plaid in a pair of swim trunks she had bought for him earlier, splashing around the shore. She smiled and resumed her task, trying to ignore the grumpy figure on the ground beside her.

“Ok shippo! Let’s do the doggy paddle!” Kagome exclaimed, and idea forming in her head.

Inuyasha’s ears twitched slightly.

“Doggy paddle? What kind of a name is that?” Shippo asked, stopping briefly from the incessant splashing to listen to her.

“Watch me, it’s called the doggy paddle because it looks just like a dog when it paddle’s in the water.”

Kagome waded out into the water and started demonstrating the doggy paddle to shippo.

Inuyasha opened his eyes to see kagome paddling around in the water, and shippo giggling crazily because- to him- she really did look like a swimming dog.

“Let me try kagome!” Shippo requested cutely. Kagome smiled and nodded her head.

“Go ahead shippo chan!” She encouraged. He let out a high pitched squeal of happiness and waded out towards kagome.

...5 minutes later...

“LOOKY KAGOME! I’M DOING IT! I’M DOING THE DOGGY PADDLE THINGY!” Shippo yelled happily, swimming around in little circles.

“Good job shippo! You’re almost as good as a real dog!” Kagome complimented.

At this remark, inuyasha let out a low growl.

“HA! THAT MEANS I’M BETTER THAT INUYASHA!” The little fox yelled triumphantly.

That was it. Inuyasha couldn’t take it anymore. This was just too much troubled to be worth anything. So inuyasha stood up, took off everything but his pants (wink, wink!), jumped into the water and swam after shippo.

“COME BACK HERE AND BE A MAN! OR IS THAT TO MUCH TO ASK!?” He yelled angrily.

“LOOK KAGOME, LOOK! I CAN SWIM FASTER THAN INUYASHA TOO!”

“WHY YOU LITTLE-!”

“STOP IT!” Kagome shouted angrily. Both half demon and demon child stopped, and shippo, with lack of longer legs, began to slowly drown.

“YIPE! SHIPPO! PADDLE!” Kagome corrected, smacking herself on the head, just as shippo went under.

“INUYASHA! GRAB HIM!”

“Feh.” Inuyasha put his hand under the water and pulled out a gasping kitsune.

“Are you ok shippo!?” Kagome cried

“*Pant* I’m ok. *Pant* really *pant* I’m fine...” He puffed pitifully, his tongue lolling out.

“Awe, shippo, some here.” Kagome requested guiltily. Shippo dragged himself pathetically to shore.

“Oi, kagome. He’s FAKING it!” Inuyasha growled from the water.

After close examination of the little fox, kagome came up with a conclusion.

“Shippo dear...Your water logged.”

Shippo blinked

“What’s that mean?”

“It mean’s you should lie out in the sun for a while.”

“WAAAH!”

“I know, I know...” Kagome soothed.

Meanwhile, Inuyasha floated on his back in the water. Kagome turned her attention from shippo-as he settled himself onto a rock- to watch him. He looked so peaceful. <To bad he can’t be like this ALL the time...> She thought sadly.

*Snore! **Snore! *

Shippo was now asleep on a flat rock. Kagome smiled, shippo was like another younger brother to her. But Inuyasha... Kagome opened her eyes lazily from the leaning position against shippo’s rock to look at the motionless form that was lying on the water and gazing at the sky.

What was Inuyasha to her? Another brother, like shippo? No.A mere friend... That wasn’t it either...He was...Special? Yeah, but not just that. Oi...

“Who know’s.” She mumbled a little to loudly.

“Who knows what?” Came an annoyed voice from the pond.

“Oh, nothing.” She answered

“Who knows nothing? Heck, you know nothing, shippo knows nothing-.”

“Inuyasha?”

“What now?”

“Sit.”

*SPLASH! *

Inuyasha came up a few minutes later, panting for breath.

“GOD WENCH! WHAT DO YOU ALWAYS DO THAT FOR!?” He yelled/ asked

“Who knows...”?

“AWE, C’MON! NOT THIS AGAIN! I ALREADY TOLD YOU! -”

“Baka.” Kagome muttered, closing her yes again.

“Look who’s talking!” He yelled angrily.

“Sit.” She said while opening an eye.

“ACK!”

*SPLASH! *

The End!

I started writing this in choir, then started it again in math. Then finished it in social studies. This fic didn’t take much time really, just allot of passing periods. LOL, but any way's, R&R! PLEASE!?

Peace and Paw prints!
