Chapter 7: Seven Days and The Demon Ninja Ambush

Shippo was just standing there, looking at Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's fight. "I've got to go get Rin, and Kagome." he thought to himself. He then made a run into the village and get the two girls. Sesshomaru then appeared right in front of Shippo. Shippo stopped right before running into him.

"Shippo? What the hell are you doing? Get out of the way!" yelled Inuyasha.

"And where do you think you going?" asked Sesshomaru.

"I'm getting Rin so you can see her to end this pointless battle." Shippo said with an angry stare at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru then just walked away from Shippo and faced Inuyasha.

"So are you comming at me half-breed or what?" Sesshomaru asked Inuyasha.

"He must really want to see her to let me go get her." Shippo thought to himself, then continued on running to the hut where Ah-Un was by. He ran into the hut and straight into Kagome's room. "Kagome! Wake up!" he whispered loudly, shaking kagome.

"Huh...wuh? Shippo?" Kagome got up in a daze.

"It's Inuyasha! He's fighting Sesshomaru!" he said. Kagome's immediatly where wide open and ran out to Inuyasha. Then Shippo ran into the room, he and rin were sharing. "Rin!" he whispered shaking Rin, "Wake up!"

"Shi-Shippo? Is that you?" she asked with her eyes barely open and yawning.

"It's Sesshomaru, he wants to see you, but he's fighting Inuyasha!" he said. After he said that, she immediatly woke up and grabbed Shippo's hand and ran out of the hut, jumped on Ah-Un and they were in the sky. "You know he's within walking distance...we didn't need Ah-Un." Shippo told Rin.

"Yeah but him seeing Ah-Un, he'll know it's me." she replied. When they got there a few seconds later, they looked down to see Inuyasha and Sesshomaru exchanging blows to one another. "Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin yelled to get his attention. He backed off from Inuyasha, and looked up to see Ah-Un, Rin, and the fox demon. Sesshomaru flew up where Shippo was and knocked him off Ah-Un. "Why did you do that Lord Sesshomaru? He's my friend!" Rin complained.

"He's just a weak demon." said Sesshomaru. Shippo still falling, transformed into a pink ballon, then transformed back at the ground. Rin wanted to yell more at Sesshomaru but then just looked down with sadness. "Rin," Sesshomaru said to get her attention, "Why are you with these people?" asked Sesshomaru.

"I just wanted to. I was also going to visit you to see what you've been up to. I haven't seen you in a really long time." said Rin. "By the way," Rin about to ask a question, "where is Master Jaken?" she asked. Sesshomaru just ignored her question and asked one himself,

"Are you still wanted to be on your own?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Yes," she answered, "I still want to learn how to defend myself and help people."

"If that is your wish." he said. As he was about to teleport out of sight he said, "Come back in 7 days." then he was gone.

"Seven days?" she thought to herself. She then flew down with Ah-Un and landed on the ground. "I'm sorry Shippo," Rin said, "I'm sure you know Lord Sesshomaru's like that."

"It's ok." Shippo said. "So you're going to keep traveling?"

"Of course." Said Rin.

"That coward," said Inuyasha," everytime we fight, he leaves!"

"Oh relax," said Kagome, "It's a good thing you didn't get hurt. You wouldn't want your children sad would you?"

"I guess you're right" Inuyasha said kissing her.

They all returned to the hut and they all went back to sleep, seeing as it was sun raise and they were still tired. Then about an hour after they went asleep, Shippo woke up to the sounds of his syblings.

"Brother Shippo!" yelled Kumiko.

"Brother Shippo!" yelled Kyuso after Kumiko. They kept doing that until Shippo would wake up.

"Kumiko, Kyuso, I'm still tired..." Shippo said a little grumpy.

"Brother Shippo!" yelled Kumiko again.

"Brother Shippo!" yelled Kyuso after Kumiko again.

"Eeeeeehhh..." Shippo got up yawning and trying to wake up..."tired..." Shippo kept thinking in his mind.

"Bro-!" Kumiko tried to yelled but was cut off by her mouth being covered by Shippo's hand.

"Ssssshhhhh." Shippo whispered, "You're going to wake up Rin."

"Sorry." Kumiko whispered back.

Then the three of them all walked out to the main room.

"Good Morning Kagome." said Shippo.

"Hey Shippo, morning." said Kagome. Kagome handed Shippo some fish and rice for breakfast.

"Thanks, Kagome." he said.

"You're welcome." she replied. "I see the little ones woke you up huh?"

"Yeah..." replied Shippo. Shippo then saw Rin walk into the room.

"Morning Rin." Kagome said.

"Good morning." she replied, and sat by Shippo. "I'm a bit suprised you're up Shippo, you were up longer than me."

"We woke him up!" Both Kumiko, and Kyuso shouted.

"Both of you woke me up too..." Inuyasha said comming in the room and yawning.

"Morning Daddy!" they both yelled.

"Morning" Rin and Shippo said.

"Morning honey" Kagome said kissing him.

"Seems like everyone's up..." Inuyasha said. Kagome then handed everyone out breakfast, and they all started eating. Once they were done, Rin got up and said thanks for the meal.

"Shippo, can you meet me outside" she whispered.

"Sure" he whispered back. They both walked outside of the hut, and back down to the river.

"Shippo, can we stay here a bit longer?" Rin asked.

"Hm? Uh, if you want to, why do you want to?" asked Shippo.

"Well, Lord Sesshomaru told me to go meet with him in seven days." Rin explained.

"I think Inuyasha and Kagome will be ok with that." Shippo said.

"Thanks Shippo." Rin said, and leaned her head near Shippo's, and kissed him on the cheek. Shippo just stood there and blushed. Rin giggled and walked back in the hut.

"Rin..." he just thought as he kept smiling. Suddenly, he could sense something. Then he was sniffing the air around him. "Oh no!" He thought to himself. "In-!" he was cut off by a hand covering his mouth.

"I know Shippo," Inuyasha whispered, "I can feel it too, we're surrounded. We have to get out of the village, so no one get's hurt if there's an ambush." They then ran out of the village, they jumped over the river, and started running deep into the forest. Just then, a knife came flying out of the bushes and Shippo dodged it. Another one flew out of a different direction, and Inuyasha dodged it. They both pulled out their swords and stood back to back. "Ready Shippo?" asked Inuyasha.

"Yeah." answered Shippo.

"Windscar!" yelled Inuyasha swinging the Tessaiga unleashing his attack

"Fox Fire!" yelled Shippo swinging his sword and sending a wave of blue fire the other direction. Then in a number of different directions knives were flying toward them. They were both using their swords to deflect the flying knives. Large numbers of demon ninja then starting to go after them.

"Hmph, this is going to be easy." Inuyasha said.

"It better be..." said Shippo. They both charged in oppisite directions to attack the demon ninja.

"Windscar!" Inuyasha yelled, unleashing his attack again.

"Fire Spin!" Shippo reaching in his vest and throwing out his spin top, covered in his fox fire. The attack spun through the demon ninja that were on the ground. Inuyasha got alot of the ninja in his windscar, but we're still alot after him. Shippo got some, but there was still alot of them comming right for him. Shippo then decided to just run toward them and start slashing them as they came. Inuyasha unleashed the windscar again, but this time the ninja were aware of it and they all jumped clear over it and started throwing more knives. Inuyasha ducked under his Tessaiga so the knives wouldn't get him. but then there were knives from behind him comming right at him, and he got hit by about 3 knives peirced him.

"Damn it all!" Inuyasha yelled as the knives above him all were deflected from his Tessaiga. "That's it you bastards! Take This!" The Tessaiga's blade then began to crystalize and his blade. "Take This! Adamant Barrage!" Inuyasha swung his crystalized Tessaiga, sending multiple shards of Adamant at a large number of Demon Ninja. Shippo just kept on running into a number of demon ninja, slashing and hacking at the ninjas he comes in contact with.

"Retreat! These guys are too strong!" said one of the ninjas. After that, all of the ninjas then disappeared.

"Huh...that was easy." said Shippo.

"Too easy." said Inuyasha. Shippo and Inuyasha then went back to the hut after the fight. When they entered, the two ladies, and two children greeted them. They saw they were exhausted, and Kagome saw Inuyasha's wound.

"Inuyasha! Where did you get these cuts?" shouted Kagome.

"The demon ninja attacked, except there were large numbers of them." explained Shippo.

"We had to lure them away from the village so we could fight without destroying everyone and everything..." said Inuyasha.

"Shippo are you ok?" asked Rin with concern in her voice.

"Yeah, I'm fine." replied Shippo smiling at Rin.

"Do you think the demon ninja will keep comming back?" asked Kagome.

"Probably, they're after the Shikon Jewel." said Inuyasha. "But if it's just these kinds of ninja that come out all the time, then they're no threat. They're just weak demons dressed like ninja."

"He's right." said Shippo. "They're basically as weak as the demons hundreds of demons that were commanded by Naraku."

"Something tells me there's stronger beyond these ninja that might be sent out next, since they've seen what we can so." said Shippo.

"I guess we'll just have to wait and find out" Inuyasha added.

And with that...I declare this chapter, over. Oh and I am basically editing all my chapters to be like this chapter, this is the way it'll be from now on. Enjoy, Astah La Bye Bye for now.
