The World According to Shippou
By Lance
Hey, Lance here. Here's a little Inuyasha story. It isn't really an alternate universe fic, although I guess you could view it like that. The idea is, if you were to ask Shippou what the Inu-Gumi was like, this would be how he'd answer. He'd make himelf look godly, make the rest of the team look like they looked up to him, and make Inuyasha look incompetant.
The story idea is based off a picture drawn by a friend which showed an age-switched Inuyasha and Shippou. I thought I could make a good story out of it.
Disclaimer? Sure. I do not own Inuyasha, because even if I was creative enough to make it, which I wasn't, I wouldn't be in a position to create a whole manga series from scratch.
The Kitsune-Gumi was going forward across the countryside in search of Naraku. The Kitsune-Gumi was a group of demon slayers that were in search of the powerful Shikon Jewel of Four Souls which was being possessed by Naraku (most of it was, anyway).
The members of the Kitsune-Gumi were led by the powerful and wise Shippou. Shippou was a fox demon of ungodly might who was thousands of years old. He stood at almost seven feet tall and had long brown hair that fell around his shoulders and loose-fitting clothes that hung on his powerful, muscular body. He could transform into any creature, but one thousand times more powerful, and his Foxfire was known to whole mountain ranges with the slightest bit of effort. His wisdom and intelligence could conquer any problem without fail.
After Shippou, Kagome was in charge of the group. She was a little nine-year-old with the ability to sense sacred jewel shards (of course, Shippou could do this as well, but he kept this secret to not upshow his little friend). She came from a well that led to another world, and also had the power to purify objects using arrows. She was close friends with Sango, another member of the Kitsune-Gumi. Sango was eleven-years-old and known for the power she weilded in her gigantic boomerang, Hiraikotsu.
Miroku was twelve-years-old. He was a monk in training who's father had been cursed by Naraku. Now that his father was dead, Shippou took him in, and began to fill the void as his parent-figure. Miroku had problems getting along with Sango, but Shippou knew that the boy meant well.
While Shippou was easily the strongest of the Kitsune-Gumi, Inuyasha was easily the weakest. He was a tiny toddler not yet coming up to Shippou's knee. Being half dog-demon, he had potential to utilize his powers to become slightly formidible, but at three-years-old, he was too young and inexperienced to channel his already weak Youki. He would often enhance and channel this Youkai through an old wooden sword he carried around (He insisted it be called "Tessaiga"). Still, even with the sword he was unbelieveably weak. Inuyasha also had a mean streak, and was quite spoiled and bratty. But the rest of the Kitsune-Gumi was taking steps to discipline the little tot.
At present, Inuyasha was walking through the forest, having angrily run away from the rest of the group. He was known for throwing temper tantrums about wasting time and how they should go find Naraku immediately. Kagome had gone after the boy, insisting they turn back.
Kagome: Really, Inuyasha, we shouldn't be here. You're too young to go wandering around on your own.
Inuyasha: I can take Naraku on anytime, anywhere. I just gotta find him.
Suddenly, a huge demon appeared before the pair. He grinned, his many sharp teeth glistening in the sunlight.
Demon: What have we here? A little girl and a little baby. How tasty.
Inuyasha angrilly stepped forward and drew his "blade".
Inuyasha: I'm no baby!
Kagome: Inuyasha, stay back!
Inuyasha brought down the wooden sword.
Inuyasha: Kaze No Kizu!
But unfortunately, Inuyasha's strongest attack, the Kaze No Kizu wasn't even strong enough to break human flesh. Let alone a demon's hard scales. The demon grinned, and prepared to gut the two with his long claws, when there was a blur. Something appeared between the demon and his prey.
Kagome: Shippou-Sama!
The tall powerful demon began to stare down his large adversary.
Demon: Sh-shippou? Shippou the mighty? The Shippou who destroyed a whole army without breaking a sweat?
Shippou: That's right. So if you'll leave my comrades and I now, I'll assure you that no harm will come to you.
The demon, realizing who he was up against, ran off.
Kagome: Domo-Arigato, Shippou-Sama.
Shippou: Kagome-chan, I told you, just call me Shippou-san.
Inuyasha: (Pouting) I could've beaten up that demon.
Shippou decided to humor the little Hanyou, and patted him on the head.
Shippou: That's right. I'm sure you could have. You really were giving him hell before I stepped in.
Inuyasha smuggly smiled in pride and puffed out his chest.
Shippou: Seriously, though. It was very naughty of you to run away like that.
Inuyasha: (In whiney voice) But I wanna find Narakuuuuu!
Shippou: You will, young lad. You just have to be patient. Now let's get back to the campsite.
Inuyasha folded his arms and turned away.
Inuyasha: NO! I won't go back! I won't, I won't, I won't!
Shippou: Okay, then. We'll just eat all that Ramen without you.
Inuyasha's stomach grumbled.
Inuyasha: I uh... I guess I could go back. Just to make sure Kagome's okay.
Kagome giggled at the little three-year-old's constant attempts to court her. Shippou himself chuckled.
Shippou: We're lucky to have you around. Let's go.
They walked back to camp, Inuyasha insisted on leading. They allowed the boy to, amused at his belief that he was in charge. Once they reached the edge of the camp, Miroku and Sango ran up to them.
Sango: Shippou-san!
Miroku: Shippou-San! It's good that you found them.
Sango: We have the ramen ready like to asked, Shippou-san. We have enough for everybody.
Shippou: Great, let's eat.
They gathered around the fire and began to eat Ramen, slowly talking and chatting amongst themselves. At the insistance of the rest of the group, Shippou began to tell one of his old war stories.
Shippou: And so I brought peace between the two dragon clans.
Miroku: Wow.
Sango: I can't believe that you fought all those dragons all by yourself.
Kagome: Yeah, it's really incredi- INUYASHA!
All eyes turned to Inuyasha, who was sitting next to Kagome. He blushed when he realised he was sitting in a puddle of urine.
Kagome: Inuyasha, did you wiggle out of your diaper again?
Inuyasha: (Blushing) I don't need no diapers! I'm a big boy.
Kagome: Inuyasha, you don't know how to use a chamber pot, so you're staying in diapers.
Kagome picked up the Hanyou and carried him over to put a fresh diaper on him. The Kitsune-Gumi made an attempt to potty train Inuyasha before, but even though the Hanyou tried his hardest, he just couldn't gain continence. He would always wind up wetting or pooing himself without noticing. He was put back into diapers eventually, deciding they'd try to potty train him in a few months. But Inuyasha didn't want to be put into diapers again, protesting that he was a big boy. Instead of wearing a diaper under his red pants, he would often struggle to wiggle it off.
Once the Hanyou's diaper was secure, instead of putting them back on him, Kagome hung his red outfit into a tree.
Inuyahsa: Kagome! Gimme back my clothes.
Kagome: No, Inuyasha. You just wet them. It's not sanitary to wear those clothes until they dry. And I'm warning you, if you take off your diaper one more time, I'm going to have Shippou give you a spanking.
Inuyaha bowed his head.
Inuyasha: I'll be good.
Dressed in nothing but a diaper, little Inuyasha walked back over to the group and sat down pouting. He ate his ramen quietly until they were all done, when Kagome stood up.
Kagome: Shippou-San, we found a hotspring nearby, can me and Sango go take a bath?
Shippou: Sure, just don't stay too long.
Inuyasha: I wanna come, too!
Shippou sighed. Kagome was usually the one who disciplined the little Hanyou. While it was no danger for Inuyasha to bathe with the girls, for he was completely oblivious to the ways of sex, Kagome and Sango should go alone. She probably needed a break from the boy, and get to be alone with Sango for a bit. Plus Inuyaha would have to take his diaper off to bathe and he might "go" in the hotspring.
Shippou: Let them go on their own, Inuyasha.
Inuyasha: (Whiney voice) But I wanna go!
Shippou: (warningly) Inuyasha...
The hanyou sat down pouting as the two girls ran off. Once the three men were alone, Miroku approached Shippou.
Miroku: Shippou-San, do you think we'll ever beat Naraku?
Shippou: Of course. Together there's no way that we can fail.
Miroku: But... My hole's just getting bigger...
Shippou puts his hand on Miroku's shoulder.
Shippou: Don't you worry about that. Once we find out where Naraku is hiding, we'll take him out for sure.
Miroku smiled.
Miroku: Right.
Miroku walked off to get more firewood, when Shippou turned around to see Inuyasha tip-toeing toward the hotspring.
Shippou: Inuyasha, I said you can't go!
The Kitsune walked over and easily picked the little hanyou up with one arm. Inuyasha began to squirm to get out of Shippou's solid grip.
Inuyasha: (Whining) But I wanna!
Shippou: I said no.
Inuyasha: (squirming furiously) I WANNA SEE KAGOME!
Shippou knew that Inuyasha was afraid of getting a spanking. But with his ignorance and short attention span, he would often forget about the threat of it. Shippou decided that while this wasn't serious enough for a real spanking, Inuyasha did have to be reminded of one if he was going to behave. Shippou lightly whapped the seat of the Hanyou's diaper. Not enough to do nothing more then sting slightly, but enough to show him who was in charge. But the hanyou, being so young and immature, often overeacted to minor pain. He yelped and began to tear up.
Shippou: That's no way for a young man to act. Now I said you weren't going to bathe with Kagome and I mean it.
Shippou put down the hanyou, who was rubbing his stinging bottom.
Shippou: Now you go sit down and don't let me catch you spying on Kagome again.
Inuyasha padded off to sit down, hands still on his rump.
Miroku: He got what was coming to him.
Shippou: He may be immature and bratty, but that little toddler means well.
Miroku: I guess. There was something else I wanted to talk to you about.
Shippou: What's that?
Miroku: Well, I've been having some problems talking to Sango.
Shippou: Why?
Miroku: Well...
Shippou: Is it because she's a girl?
Miroku: Sorta...
Shippou: Is it because you like her?
Miroku blushed and gave a tiny nod. Shippou chuckled.
Shippou: Just be yourself. Personally, I think she likes you, too.
Miroku: You do?
Shippou nodded.
Shippou: Mmmm-Hm. So you just be yourself and she'll come around.
Miroku: Wow. Arigato, Shippou-san.
At that point both Shippou and Miroku were distracted by hearing Inuyasha start wailing. They ran over to the little hanyou.
Miroku: Inuyasha, what's the mat- EW! What's that smell?
Shippou: Calm down now, Inuyasha. Calm down.
Inuyasha's wails went down to minor sniffles and hiccups.
Shippou: Inuyasha, do you need a change?
Inuyasha: (sniffle) Y-yeah... (hiccup) I wan' Kagome...
Shippou: Inuyasha, she needs some time to herself. I can change it for you.
Inuyasha suddenly went bright red.
Inuyasha: Ka... (Hiccup) Kagome's the only one who does it...
Shippou: (Friendly) Well, what're you gonna do if she's not around? You can't just rely on her forever.
Inuyasha: ... (Sniffle) You can do it...
Inuyasha laid down and Shippou changed him. The kitsune smiled warmly as the baby powder tickled Inuyasha's demon nose and made him giggle. Once done, Shippou stood Inuyasha up and patted his diaper.
Shippou: There you go. Nice and clean.
Inuyasha: (Blushing) Arigato, Shippou-san... Messy ones feel so icky...
Shippou: No problem, Inuyasha.
Kagome: What's going on here?
Kagome walked up with Sango, dressed in her pajamas?
Kagome: What's wrong?
Inuyasha: (happily) Kagome!
Inuyaha ran over and gave the larger girl a hug. She bent down and picked him up, cradling him in her hands.
Kagome: (To Shippou) Why was he crying earlier.
Shippou: He needed a change, but I took care of it.
Kagome: (to Inuyasha) Did you say thank you?
Inuyasha: (happily) Uh-Huh! Shippou-san was really nice.
Kagome: That's good.
Sango: (Yawn) I'm beat.
Miroku: Yeah, let's all hit the hay.
They all laid down. Shippou of course, didn't need to sleep. So he sat down, leaning back on a large rock. He was deep in though when he heard a small scraping sound.
Shippou: Inuyasha, what're you doing.
The hanyou looked like he was trying to climb a tree, but couldn't get a grip with his underdeveloped claws. When he heard Shippou's question, he sniffled.
Inuyasha: I wanna sleep in th' trees.
Shippou chuckled. He walked over, scooped up the little hanyou, and in a single, graceful bound brought them both up a high-up branch. The little diapered hanyou looked out over the land in Shippou's lap.
Inuyasha: Wow...
Shippou kept a firm but gentle grip on the hanyou as he sat in his lap. Inuyasha yawned, leaned back onto Shippou's chest, and began to suck his thumb.
Inuyasha: (falling asleep) Domo, arigato, Shippou-san...
Sango: Shippou! Shippou! We're nearly there.
The little kitsune snapped to attention. He was riding on Kirara's back. His hopes fell suddenly. It was all just a day dream. He wasn't really big and strong, and Inuyasha wasn't really tiny and in diapers. Inuyasha was big and mean. The Kitsune just wished that his dream was real.
Sango: Shippou, did you get bigger? You look about an inch taller.
Shippou blinked. Then he heard Kagome and Inuyasha talking in front of him.
Kagome: No, seriously, Inuyasha. You look shorter.
Inuyasha: Feh. Come off it.
Kagome: No, really. You- AH! You just shrunk another inch.
Sango: Kagome, it seems like Inuyasha's shrinking and... Shippou's growing.
Inuyasha: That's a load of crap. How the hell would... that... even...
Inuyasha's eyes went wide in disbelief. Shippou suddenly smelt something foul. Unless the kitsune was mistaken, Inuyasha had just pooped his pants. Was Shippou's dream... becoming a reality?
Heh. Not bad, eh? Even though I like Inuyasha much more then Shippou, I had to switch them. Maybe if I see potential in the story I'll add a second chapter where Shippou and Inuyasha really do switch, and Inuyasha must adjust to being weak and diaper dependent. Anyway, please leave your reveiws. I'd love to hear for you...
