400 years ago in "sort of kinda Japan" or 300 years ago in the Caribbean... there's a difference?

"Look at this!" Shippou squealed as he plucked the gold piece from the hands of the merchant's dead bodyguard. "Neat!"

Kagome plucked it from Shippou's hands in turn, and examined it with a reluctant face. "Well, it's kind of nasty looking, but it is gold. Still, I don't think we should be taking money from the dead like this."

She was still frowning at it when Inuyasha grabbed the coin and sniffed it. Smells like normal gold, he thought, and he tossed it back to the kitsune child. "Keep it. The skull looks good, and we can use it to buy shelter if the monk's scheming doesn't work when we reach the next village."

"Or if he mishandles the host's eldest daughter again," Sango snapped as she joined them. "Where is that perverted houshi, anyway?"

"He went ahead to the village to investigate some local rumors about ghost sailors," Kagome replied.

Inuyasha snorted. "Probably made up the damn rumor to get a warm place to sleep."

"I don't like ghosts," Shippou said, and clutched the coin in his tiny kitsune claws.

I'm glad you liked it! Did you do any Heathen Gods drabbles?
