Chapter 36: Wonder
Kagome sat at the very edge of her garden staring at the buds on the rose bush she sat next to. She had so boldly proclaimed that she would help Sesshomaru. And yet, she had no clue where to start. She was about to speak to her butterfly when a small voice cried out.
"WAAAH!" In front of her landed a small child with a head of orange hair.
She blinked slowly as the child bounced up, a cream tail swirling behind him, "Oh yeah! Well I'll bet…" he stopped and turned toward Kagome, and waved nervously.
"Uh… hi?"
"So you need to find a way to save your prince and defeat a witch?" Shippo said slowly.
Kagome nodded, "And I think a priestess needs rescuing too, except I have no clue how to go about any of this!" She hung her head and sighed. She was confiding in a child. Sure Shippo was a few years older than her, but in demon terms he was still a child.
Shippo snapped his fingers, "Well that's easy then! Grandma Kaede taught me that when a soul and its body are separated all you gotta do is release the soul from captivity! Once it's free the body and soul will fly to meet each other."
Kagome smiled at the butterfly and Shippo.
So I cheated with this chapter. It's 220 words. But I want in the last chapters to not restrict myself. I didn't wanna leave you guys confused by only giving half of the information Shippo had to tell.
I was inspried by TheMadSquirrel to include Shippo in this chapter and I promise he will have a bigger role.
I will still accept suggestion sofr future chapters but(!) there is no guarantee that they will be used.
