Disclaimer: We don't own Inu-yasha or Yu-Gi- Oh. This is our first Shippo short in a while, and we thought that since we're so close to Halloween, this would be our way of celebrating it.
Shippo and Mokuba's Trick or Treat!
Chapter One: Hallo-what?
As the leaves were falling in the courtyard of the Kaiba Estate, Mokuba, Rebbecca Hawkins, and Shippo were jumping in the neatly pile leaves.
"WHEEEE!" Shippo cried, diving head first, "This is fun!"
"Guys, you know tomorrow is right?" Rebecca asked.
"I sure do," Mokuba said.
"What is it?" Shippo asked.
"It's Halloween!" both the human children said. "It's awesome!" Mokuba explained. "You get to dress up in costumes, and go around people's houses to get candy!"
"And they just give it away!?" Shippo asked, unbelieving that something so wonderful could be true.
"Bags full!" Mokuba said, "And sometimes they give you money, and recently, people've been giving away Duel Monster cards. It's one of the best days ever!"
"It actually started as pagan holiday to honor the dead," Rebecca said, "Christians celebrate the after Halloween as all Saints Day, to honor the saints who died for the sake of Christianity."
"Do they have candy for that?" Shippo asked.
"No, but they usually have a feast."
"A feast? And free candy?! Wow! These modern holidays are cool! I wish we had them back in the Feudal Era."
"How about we show you the best Halloween ever?" Mokuba asked his friend. "We'll go trick- or- treating together."
"Okay," Shippo said, "But what about that feast?"
"Uh, well, Seto and I are Buddhists, so I'm afraid the feast is out." Mokuba said. "But we could have a party tonight after we go trick-or-treating. Seto and I usually give parties to underprivileged kids from the orphanage where e grew up."
"That really doesn't sound like your brother," Shippo said, "That sounds more like you."
"My brother's a nice guy," Mokuba said, "He just ahs a tough time showing it."
"You don't sound too sure about that Moki," Rebecca said, throwing her arms around him.
"Don't go all kissy-face on me," Shippo said to them. "It's bad enough to see the grown ups doing that."
"I can't help it!" Rebecca said, "Ever since my Moki saved me from that bully, I can't help but shower him with affection."
"Geez, Rebecca," Mokuba said, "DO you have to be so dramatic?"
"I just had a brilliant Idea!" Rebecca said, letting go, "Mokuba, you should invite everyone of our friends! Then it'll be a real Halloween party!"
"I don't now," Mokuba said, "Remember the last time my brother threw a costume party?"
"You don't have to tell me, I was there," Shippo said, "Robots and hallograms; kidnapped girls, Shadow Duels, and that creepy Mr. Pegasus. If Halloween's anything like that, count me out."
"I think he's over how cute you are," Rebecca reassured him.
" I hope so. He wanted to make a card out of me!"
"Yeah, I've been on the other end of that schtick. He really did make me into a card; literally."
"So why are we jabbering?" Rebecca said, grabbing Mokuba's arm, "Let's go ask your brother if he'll make up the invitations!"
-------------Scene Break-----------
"No," said Seto Kaiba as he swiveled around in his oversized chair.
"But Big Brother," Mokuba said, "Shippo's never celebrated Halloween."
"That's because he comes from a backwards society that really is haunted. Ever celebrated Halloween? It's Halloween 24-7 where he comes from!"
"But he's never had any fun with it," Mokuba said, "He's always fighting goblins and ghouls, but he's never gotten to trick-or-treat, or dress up, or hang out with other kids."
"That's cause he's not a kid. He's a fox cub; he's not human!"
"Well Shippo has the heart of a normal kid," Rebecca said, "And remember, he is an orphan!"
"Just like us," Mokuba said. His brother stopped dead. Then, the older Kaiba growled, and returned to his computer screen.
"You have my permission," Seto said, "But if this leads to anymore of your shenanigans, this is the last time you and that fox cub will be allowed to do anything together."
"Gosh Seto," Mokuba said, "I never knew you felt this way."
"Forget about how I feel," Seto said, "Go and play your games."
-----------Scene Break----------
As Mokuba sat typing up Invitation e-mails, Rebecca and Shippo were looking through a box of old costumes.
"Are sure it's okay?" Shippo asked as he looked at a large mask that had it's tongue stuck out.
"Of course," Mokuba said, "Seto and I haven't used these costumes since we were kids."
"You know, maybe Mokuba doesn't need a costume," Rebecca said. "Maybe this is his chance to go out and about without having to wear disguises."
"She's right!" Shippo exclaimed. "I can be normal for once! I mean, as normal as I can be. I don't have to put on any disguises or turn into anything inconspicuous. This will great!"
"Yeah, but the whole point of Halloween is to dress up." Mokuba said.
"Yeah, but now Shippo can be a normal kid, cause everyone will think he's already wearing a costume."
"Alright," Mokuba said, "Shippo, come here tomorrow morning dressed like you are back home."
"You got it!" Shippo said, saluting. Then, the fox cub got up, and skipped out of the room.
-----------Scene Break---------
The very next morning, as Miroku and Sango slumbered in the hut, Kirara awoke at the sound of furry feet scurrying about. She lifted her head, and watched as Shippo, un disguised, slipped out of the hut and made his way to the well. Kirara went over, and started nuzzling Sango.
"Mm, Kirara," Sango stammered as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. "What is it?" Then she noticed that someone was touching her thigh. She looked and counted. Both her hands were free. She growled, turned, and WHACK!
"OW!" Miroku cried, "What was that for?! I was asleep!"
"You groping me in your sleep again," Sango said, standing up.
"Really? Oh yes, I remember dreaming that you and I were enjoying our wedding night." Miorku said.
"Our wedding night?!" Sango repeated, blushing, "Never in a million years!"
"Meow!" went Kirara as she rubbed up against Sango's leg.
"What? What is it Kirara?" Kirara looked up and dashed out the door.
"We had best to follow her," Miroku said. "Perhaps she'll lead us to what the matter is." They both followed the cat demon to the enchanted well, where they saw Shippo standing on the edge.
"Well," Shippo said, "Here goes," he jumped into the well and disappeared.
"He just went down the well!" Sango gasped.
"Undisguised , too!" Miroku said, "He knows it's dangerous for the people in Kagome's time to see him like that!"
"But how can we stop him?" Sango said, "Wee need a either him or Inu-yasha to go down the well."
"Not so," Miroku said, taking out a Jewel Shard from his robes.
"Did you steal that from Kagome?" Sango demanded.
"Nonsense," Miroku answered. "I found it on one of our missions. I figured it would come in handy; besides, I didn't Inu-yasha getting his hands on it."
"Then let's go," Sango said, jumping down the well. Miroku followed, and when they emerged in Kagome's time, they gasped, and stare din horror.
"What has happened?!" Sango asked as skeletons clung to the well house door.
"It seems as though some horrendous creature has attacked this peaceful shrine," Miroku said, "There are cobwebs everywhere. Do you think it could be more spiders?"
"Sshhh!" Sango warned as she grabbed her weapon, "I see someone in Kagome's house!" The monk and slayer ducked, and then they heard two horrible screams.
"The Shrine Shop!" Sango said.
"We must hurry!" Miroku said. They ran off for the shop, and when they arrived, they saw two girls dressed like Kagome pulling Inu-yasha's ears.
"What?" they both asked, confused.
------------Scene Break----------
"AHHHHHHH!" Yuka and Eri screamed when they saw Inu-yasha.
"Relax, it's just a costume," Inu-yasha lied. Ayumi and Kagome were giggling as they loaded up more Halloween Souvenirs on the shop shelves.
"We're not screaming cause we're scared," Yuka said.
"We're screaming cause your ears are so cute!" Eri cried as she and Yuka pounced, and started grabbing and tweaking Inu-yasha's ears.
"Stop that! Let go! Those are, uh, on there tight!" Inu-yasha screamed.
"What did you use?" Yuka asked, "Stick-um or movie makeup?"
"Look at these fangs!" Eri shouted, holding Inu-yasha's mouth open, "They look so real!"
"So, what are you, some kind of cross between a vampire and a wolf man?" Yuka asked.
"I'm a dog demon, to twit!" Inu-yasha snarled.
"I love the nails!" Eri cried, "Where'd you go to have them done? Or did Kagome glue them on for you?"
"Oh, Kagome, can you do my nails for my costume tonight?" Yuka begged.
"Uh, sure," Kagome sniggered. "But, um, this was the first time I've done nails."
"Oh, Don't be so modet," Ayumi said, "She did his whole costume," Ayumi could barly keep a straight face.
"What is going on here?" Sango asked, interrupting.
"Huh?" everyone else turned around, and finally noticed Sango and Miroku standing in the door way. Yuka and Eri's eyes widened.
"OH MY GOSH!" both girls exclaimed. "Kagome, you're awesome!"
"Did you do these costumes, too?" Yuka asked as she grabbed Miroku's sleeve. "When did cousins come back?"
"Wow, this gigantic Boomerang must be heavy too carry," Eri said, grabbing the weapon, "Is it?"
"Um,. It's not a boomerang, it's a hirai-kotsu." Sango explained.
"My grandpa found it at some old shop in Okinawa," Kagome lied.
"Is it made of wood or something?" Yuka asked.
"Actually, it's made from the bones of a demon." Sango said.
"Huh?"
"That's just to make it believable," Kagome rushed, "It's made of fiberglass."
"Kagome, though I delight in seeing your lovely friends, what is going on?" Miroku asked.
"Yes, we heard screams." Sango said.
"Oh, well, the girls were just making a deal out of Inu-yasha's COSTUME" Kagome said, hinting.
"Are you guys going to Seto Kaiba's costume party too?" Yuka asked.
"What party?" Miroku and Sango asked.
"Oh, so you guys are just dressed up for Halloween?" Eri asked. Bhind her, Ayumi and Kagoem were both waving their arms, and nodding their heads 'Yes, yes yes.'
"Yes," Miroku and Sango both said.
"COOL!" the girls squealed. "Kagome, come with us, you have to help with our costumes!"
"But, I really help out here," Kagome said.
"That's right, young ladies," Said Kagome's grandfather as he entered the shrine he was dressed in ceremonial robes and hat, "Kagome and her cousins have to help here at the shrine. Sango, Miroku, and Inu-yasha are re-enacting a famous scene from our shrine's history, when a female warrior sealed and evil half-demon to our sacred tree."
"You sure you wanna go there, old man?" Inu-yahsa whispered angrily.
"Hush up you hooligan, or your out of a job." Gramps threatened.
"Well then, you come Ayumi," Eri said.
"My costume's not ready yet," Ayumi said, "We'll meet you later." the other two girls sighed, shrugged, and left.
"Is it, just me, or are Kagome and Ayumi chummier than they used to be?" Eri asked Yuka as they descended the stairs.
"I know," Yuka said, "We all used to be best friends, but now it seems as those two hang out together without us all the time."
"And those Domino Kids," Eri said. "All Ayumi has time for now is Tristan. Tristan this, Tristan that, Tristan Tristan Tristan." The girls jabbered and clucked all the way down the street.
---------Scene Break---------
Back in the shrine, Kagome sighed. "You guys almost blew our cover."
"Please explain what is going on," Miroku asked. "There are Skeletons on the well house, bats and cobwebs everywhere, and why is this large pumpkin smiling at us?" Miroku peered at the brightly glowing grin.
"It's a Jack-o-lantern, duh," Ayumi said.
"You guys don't know about Halloween, do you?" Kagome asked.
"Uh," Miroku and Sango said.
"I didn't get it either," Inu-yasha grumbled, "The most I make of it is that for one day out of the year, every year, it's things back in our time, only make believe."
"People dress up as monsters, witches, and ghosts in the spirit of fun," Grandpa Higurashi said. "So for once, the mongrel can go without the hat."
"That must explain why Shippo left this morning without his disguise." Sango said.
"Of course," Miroku said, "No one would notice because all children would be dressed as demons."
"I'm off for the school party!" Souta cried as he bounded out and away.
"Wait a minute, that's not the costume Mom made you," Kagome said, grabbing her brother. "Your supposed to be a Chibi Bunny."
"Chibi Bunnies are stupid!" Souta said, "I want to as Yughi Motou, King of Games!" Souta had a large colorful wig on, blue denim everything, and a big plastic pyramid hanging around his neck.
"Fine, I'll cover for you, but get tonight you're trick-or- treating as a fuzzy rabbit."
"Awe, man," Souta grumbled. And he stomped out of the building.
"This century gets stranger and stranger," Sango said.
"Indeed," Miroku agreed. Neither noticed when Kirara picked up Shippo's scent, and went dashing down the stairs, and along the sidewalk in the direction of Domino.
