While here is one of the sequels to my stories. I'm on writer's block with a couple so I had a inspiration to start this. I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: gosh this is getting boring, anyways I don't own anything.
Shippo watched as Kaede bent down to collect herbs from the garden, he could tell it was getting harder for her. She was aging as all humans do, while the little kitsune just continued to stay the same but grown slowly, but powerfully. It's been five years and after the battle with Naraku, the lands of Japan were peaceful. The demons and humans were becoming to comprehend one another. He watched as the villager's were getting ready for the celebration, the defeat of the evil that no longer rules the land. The people that risked their lives to save their lands, homes, friends, and family's, and to the women who became important to their legend. His mother, one of their saviors, was gone just like the rest of the hero's.
His beautiful, selfless mother, the person who understood humans and demons, as while as half demons. She helped in every way she could because she believed they were the same, because they were people too. He remembered seeing her beautiful smile, when ever he woke up to see her, the smile she would give every person demons, or humans. It didn't matter to her, because she believed they were equal. He remember's her smell, her strawberry mixed with lavender scent that always radiated off of her. When ever he was scared he would run towards that smell and find his mother. The Legendary Miko, that disappeared so long ago. His memory of her was still there, it was imprinted into his memory never able to forget. But it was the way she made him fell that he was forgetting. The comfort she gave him when he was scared, the kisses he would need after getting hurt, or the hugs she would give him reminding him of her love.
He was forgetting almost everything except her picture that he had of her. He remembers the promise she made but it seems so long ago. He sometimes wonder if she still remembers it, if she still keeping her promise, if she misses him. He stared at the neckless his mother gave to him before she disappeared, or to the others departed. He did look at the neckless when he was lonely, in trouble, or just wanting to remember, and it always helped him in one way or the other.
He returned his focus to the villagers, they were going to have a feast, and he was going to help.
Through out the time of his mother's departure, the village was consumed with humans and demons, as while as hanyous. Many travelers traveled here to hear the story of the group that defeated the evil hanyou and saved the lands. This festive was going to be big just like the other five years that past. They also came to him, to hear the journey of his group and to hear it from someone that survived.
As Keade made her way back to the hut she seen Shippo running towards her with a big smile on his face. " Oba-chan, Oba-chan guess what," he said ever so excitedly. She shrugged while he continued to talk not waiting for her answer. " Youko is here, and he brought me a present." The kitsune then grabbed the basket that Kaede held and ran back to the hut. She sighed, she had to deal with another kitsune except he was a full grown demon. She slowly made her way to the hut, while taking her time.
Youko was a demon that was injured a few years back. Shippo stumbled upon the fallen kitsune, and came running back to the village asking for help. The villager's came to his rescue and brought the full grown demon back. Since there wasn't any other kitsune in the village he stayed with Kaede and Shippo, because Kitsune's trust one another.
He later woke up to find himself bandaged and treated for his wounds. Youko then noticed the small kitsune that walked through the room with food. Shippo explained why he was there, and also his location. Later as time passed he stayed in the village for a while, helping around the village, and getting to know Shippo more. He later explained about his past, he was once the famous theif but stopped once his partner died. He also told them why they found him injured, it was because he was attacked by a bounty hunter, and just managed to escape.
Some after that Shippo began to cheer up from the lost of his mother. Shippo told stories of Kagome to Youko, how she took him in and began to be his mother. He also told him of her departure and her promise.
Youko decided that it was time he went on his own, he told Shippo he was a loner, a person who took care of himself and depended on no one. He soon regretted it once he left, he remembered the sad face of Shippo's begging him to take him. Saying he wouldn't be a bother and that he could take care of himself. Youko explained that he couldn't just in case his mother returned and didn't know where he was. Shippo nodded his head in understanding, he hugged the little kitsune as he left the village knowing he would return some other time.
Youko decided he's been gone long enough, he traveled around alittle but missed the presence of the annoying child kitsune. So he journeyed back wondering if his little friend was still there or if his mother returned for him. So here he was looking at the little orange boy he hasn't seen him for almost 2 years, and still waiting for his mother. He thought a little before he returned but waited to ask the young boy a question that probably would change both their lives.
Shippo ran back to the full grown man while jumping into his arms. He hugged him, missing him for the last 2 years. "Youko papa, you finally come to visit," Shippo said to Youko remembering that he said he could call him that. Youko laughed while sitting the energetic kitsune on the ground, while observing the area. " Youko, it's nice to see ye again," said Kaede, he could see the women was aging quickly, he bowed his head in acknowledgment. " Please come in, ye must be tired from ye journey," she said as she walked into the hut. He followed suit, with Shippo behind him. He sat at the table while Kaede brought some tea, " Shippo says ye have a present for him," she said while taking her seat.
He nodded his head and was ready to explain, " It is not a present but a request," Kaede nodded her head this time. " I see that his mother has not returned," stating a fact. Shippo bowed his head in sadness, " and since you seem to be aging quiet will." He continued to say as this caught her attention. " I was wondering if I would be able to adopt Shippo, since it seems he has no one else." This simply surprised the two.
I guess I started another story huh. Any who I really hoped you like it, because I sort of winged at it. I just thought I would start with Youko, then later it while turn into a Kurama. Anyways, see ya when I have the next chapter done.
