Question 1 

As Shizuma was coloring in a turtle, she wondered, what is a turtle without a shell? The curiosity became too much and she set out the find the answer. The first person she ran across was Uncle Inu, but he was asleep, so she kept touching his ears. They moved back and forth, trying to avoid being touched. It made her giggle. This was a lot of fun and they were soft and cute, but Uncle Inu didn't wake up and she had an important mystery to solve.  She had found Uncle Miroku, too, but he only told her that he had never seen a turtle without a shell before and he couldn't answer her question properly. She would have asked Sango but she looked like she was losing the wrestling match they seemed to be having on the bed. She found Kagome in the kitchen.

"Mommy, what's a turtle without a shell?"

Kagome looked down at her silver haired brown eyed daughter and smiled. She bent down to her eye level and thought about the question. "Well I assume it would be a naked turtle." Shizuma hadn't thought about that. It was like when she took her clothes off...so

"So...it's a... naked...turtle?"

"That's right, a naked turtle."

Shizuma's eyes lit up as she ran from the kitchen eager to share this new information with her father. She hadn't bothered to knock, even though he kept reminding her to but this was important.

"Daddy!" She called as he turned his chair so she could jump into his lap.

"Yes, Shizuma?" Sesshoumaru couldn't quite get up the will to tell her to knock on the door for the two hundred and eighty seventh time. Plus she looked very excited about something.

"Daddy, did you know that a turtle without a shell is a naked turtle?"

While he thought all of this very amusing he had to ask, "Who told you that?"

"Mommy did."

Sesshoumaru sighed. "Don't listen to you mother."

"Why not? It's not a naked turtle?"

Sesshoumaru hated to take away the "thunder," but he was not going to be walking in on his daughter trying to undress a turtle to see it naked.

"No, it isn't"

"Then what is it?"

"If one takes the shell off a turtle, it is a dead turtle."
