Go Find Your Own Lunch!
Inuyasha stomped through the woods, growling, ears flattened, claws twitching. Stupid wench! He fumed, as his feet squished and buried innocent plants into the soil. How dare she use her unfair, stupid spell on him-three times! Shippo deserved that bop on the head-that greedy, ungrateful runt had stolen his food while he had escorted Kagome to the stream to fill her weird, water containers. He tried to help her, but how was he to know how easily his claws would puncture them? He’d offered to replace them with proper containers, but she stalked away, grumbling unintelligibly. They returned to the fire, catching Shippo devouring the next to last fish. Inuyasha snatched his fish from the kitsune, and bopped his head. Shippo yelped and broke into copious, fake tears, which the gullible wench had fallen for...
Three ‘sits’! Inuyasha slashed out. A tree shattered. Inuyasha smirked, mildly satisfied, then froze.
Sweet, tangy smell.
Berry smell!
Ears popped upright. Leaping to the patch of grape vines, Inuyasha snatched the nearest cluster, and gobbled them down.
Swallowing the delicious pulp, Inuyasha reached for the next cluster, then hesitated. Bringing some back to Kagome might bring a smile to her face.
But, there weren’t very many. If he took them back, she’d make him share with the greedy-gut.
He wavered, ear twitching, and then decided. Pulling off the next cluster, he began to devour it as quickly as the first.
After all, she had told him: “Go find your own lunch!”
