Wow this thread is like synchronicity! In my last chapter of one of my current WIP fics ("Can''t Get Enough") Kagome puts Shippo in his place. Someone (not on this site) gave me a review that she liked that Kagome did that! I was just going with the way the characters are in the anime and for the sake of character development in my story, and because I also felt Shippo shouldn't get away with so much, I had Kagome clonk him in the head! He he!
