There was another thing that bugged him.

Shippo knew that kitsunes were sensual by nature, but he also knew that Yoko Kurama was even more so. He adored being adored, and he took pleasure in being pleasured.

Was this the same youkai who wanted to mark Kagome? Sure, time can change people -he knew that all too well- but how much did it change Yoko? The last thing Shippo wanted was Kagome getting hurt when she just started to heal.

"Oh, Mama," he whispered in amused exasperation as he played with her hair, "Why do you always attract trouble during the worst times?"
