Chapter 4 Ignorance is Bliss

Shippo is sitting on the well his feet swing. "It sure is taking him a while. How long do you think it will take this time?"

"Who knows?" Songo says, "I am sure it is taking longer because she keeps 'sitting' him."

"True. Knowing Inuyasha he has said something to make Kagome even madder at him." Miroku agrees as his hand wonders to Songo's butt. "I bet you wish you could 'sit' me.

Songo hit him hard. "PERVERT!"

Shippo smiles and takes out his newest present from his new mommy… Bubbles. "Stupid Miroku." HE laughs as he blows his bubbles watching the demon hunter and the monk.

Suddenly the lights alert the group to the time travelers' return and Shippo calls, "They are back!"

"Really?" Songo asks as there is no bickering going on. She gives Miroku one last thump then goes over to the well. "Kagome?"

Inuyasha slowly pulls himself out of the bottom of the well not looking at his friends.

"Inuyasha where is Kagome?" Shippo asks. "Did you get her even madder at you so she won't come back for a while?" He asks in a scolding tone

Inuyasha rushes over and grabbed Shippo. "DON'T EVER SAY THAT NAME AGAIN?"

"Inuyasha what have you done now?" Songo demands harshly.

"She is gone." He managed to growl out putting Shippo down.

"Gone where?" Shippo asks holding his breath. Not wanting his fear and imagination to get the better of him he demands, "Can't you just go get her?"

"She is dead." Inuyasha snaps.

"Oh no kami no." Songo gasps

"NO! NOT MY MOMMA!" Shippo's scream echoes as the young fox child runs away as fast as he can.

Inuyasha follows the boy Kagome loved like a son. Shippo had tripped on a tree root and lay face down in the dirt, "I must be cursed." He sobbed.

"What do you mean?" Inuyasha demands.

"I'm bad luck for anybody who loves me, my momma, daddy and now my new momma." Shippo cries ashamed.

"Keh. You aren't cursed. Your mom and dad were killed by the thunder brothers and… well if anyone killed Kagome it was me not you" Inuyasha says. "Now stop crying men don't cry."

"But it hurts so much…" Shippo sobs.

"Yeah well it hurts to care sometimes." Inuyasha said looking away from the sobbing boy.
