She Thinks My Ears Are Fuzzy

By Kenzie Kennedy


Kagome had been humming something all day and it was getting on Inu-Yasha’s nerves. They were walking toward another demon who had a jewel shard and she was humming! And singing under her breath!

"Would you stop that!" he said at last.

"What?" Kagome looked up startled.

"That singing!"

"You can hear that?" Kagome asked. Inu-Yasha nodded. "It’s just a song I have stuck in my head. It’s from America."

"Where’s America?" Inu-Yasha asked. Kagome began the lecture on oceans and what was across them.

After everyone had finally fallen asleep, Inu-Yasha ran off for one of his rare baths. There was a stream nearby that would work nicely.
He shucked off his clothes and dove in. He scrubbed off the dirt and the sweat. He swam around a little and finally found a nice place to rest. That song Kagome had been singing was stuck in his brain now. He grinned. It might be nice to switch the words around so they made sense. What was a tractor anyway? And why would a female find one sexy?

"Feh," he said. His brain started to work. "What was that first line?"

Plowing these fields in the hot summer sun

That’s easy, he thought. Searching these lands in the hot summer sun.

Over by the gate lordy here she comes

Over by the well lordy here she comes

With a basket full of chicken and a big cold jug of sweet tea

With a sack full of miso and a big cold can of sweet tea

I make a little room and she climbs on up

That one can stay how it is. She climbs on my back all the time.

Open up a throttle and stir a little dust

Run really fast and stir a little dust

Just look at her face she ain't a foolin me

That can stay too...

She thinks my tractor's sexy

That has to go. I don’t know what a tractor is. Inu-Yasha thought for a moment. His ears twitched at a sound and provided inspiration. She thinks my ears are sexy! He frowned. I don’t know about that. Maybe... She thinks my ears are fuzzy? Yeah, that’ll work.

It really turns her on

I don’t know what that phrase means. But I know she likes them.

She's always staring at me

That can stay. She does when she thinks I’m not looking.

While I'm chuggin along

When I’m sleeping in a tree

She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land

She likes to be yellin’ while she’s tellin’ me to sit

She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan

She’s even kind of crazy ‘bout my yukata

She's the only one who really understands what gets me

That can stay.

She thinks my tractor's sexy

She thinks my ears are fuzzy.

Hey, this is pretty fun! I wonder if I can remember all this. Inu-Yasha ran through the verses again and committed them to memory.

We ride back and forth until we run out of light

We run back and forth until we run out of light

Take it to the barn put it up for the night

Take it to the tree put it up for the night

Climb up in the loft sit and talk with the radio on

Climb up in the tree sit and listen with the moon on

She said she's got a dream and I asked what it is

That can stay.

She wants a little farm and a yard full of kids

She wants to go home and take lots of tests

One more teeny weeny ride before I take her home

One more loud angry fight before I let her go

She thinks my tractor's sexy

She thinks my ears are fuzzy.

It really turns her on

She's always staring at me

While I'm chuggin along

When I’m sleeping in a tree

She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land

She likes to be yellin’ while she’s tellin’ me to sit

She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan

She’s even kind of crazy ‘bout my kimono

She's the only one who really understands what gets me

She thinks my tractor's sexy

She thinks my ears are fuzzy.

Well she ain't into cars or pick up trucks

Well she ain’t into monks or lecher’s pats

But if it runs like a Deere man her eyes light up

I run really fast and her eyes light up. I guess that can stay. We’ll just change that it to ‘I’. Inu-Yasha ran through the rest of the song in his head and it just repeated. So he practiced what he had thought up and amused himself with it when he went back to camp.

The next day, the group was again walking through the forest and Kagome noticed Inu-Yasha humming. "Oh, no." She said. "I got you hooked on that song, too?"

Inu-Yasha nodded. "She thinks my ears are fuzzy..." he said to himself and snickered.

"What’s so funny?" Kagome asked.

"Something about she thinks my ears are fuzzy," Shippo told her. Inu-Yasha bopped him on the head. "Hey!" Shippo objected. "I’ve been listening all day. I think it’s great."

Inu-Yasha stared at him. "What?" Kagome asked.

Shippo opened his mouth and began to sing.

Searching these lands in the hot summer sun.
Over by the well lordy here she comes
With a sack full of miso and a big cold can of sweet tea

Sango started to snicker as she realized who Inu-Yasha’s song was about. Miroku stared at Shippo as if noting how much Inu-Yasha’s composition was costing him in dignity.

I make a little room and she climbs on up
Run really fast and stir a little dust
Just look at her face she ain't a foolin me
She thinks my ears are fuzzy

Kagome stared at Inu-Yasha. Oh, please let him have replaced the next line, she thought.

It really turns her on

Kagome swallowed really hard. Oh, please let him not know what that means.

She's always staring at me
When I’m sleeping in a tree

I do not! Kagome thought furiously. She shot a look at Inu-Yasha that he correctly interpreted as he was going to be sat a lot when Shippo finished.

She likes to be yellin’ while she’s tellin’ me to sit

Miroku started to laugh. Sango looked at Kagome and tried to keep a straight face.

She’s even kind of crazy ‘bout my yukata
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my ears are fuzzy.
We run back and forth until we run out of light

That really describes our quest well, Kagome admitted grudgingly. Run here, run there, run everywhere.

Take it to the tree put it up for the night
Climb up in the tree sit and listen with the moon on

Geez, Inu-Yasha, it’s not like a nightlight you can switch on and off, Kagome thought.

She said she's got a dream and I asked what it is
She wants to go home and take lots of tests
One more loud angry fight before I let her go

Miroku and Sango tried to keep straight faces but they accidentally looked at each other and burst out laughing.

She thinks my ears are fuzzy.
It really turns her on.
She's always staring at me
When I’m sleeping in a tree

She likes to be yellin’ while she’s tellin’ me to sit
She’s even kind of crazy ‘bout my yukata
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my ears are fuzzy.
Well she ain’t into monks or lecher’s pats

Miroku’s face grew outraged. Sango pointed at him and laughed happily.

But if I run like a deer man her eyes light up

The song finished and Shippo looked at Kagome. "See? It’s funny." He said.

"What’s a tractor?" Inu-yasha asked innocently.

Kagome scowled at him. "Sit!" Inu-Yasha sat. She walked up to him and rubbed his ears. Sango snickered. "Drat you," Kagome whispered. "Now I’ll never be able to get that song out of my head."

Sorry, I had to be a little silly there.
