Sometimes, the Glass just Breaks
Illustrious Sorrow
Chapter 3: And fought a thousand people
Kagome brought Shippo to the Gap for the first part of his wardrobe. The saleswomen had a field day finding clothes for him. He was a very cute little boy. Kagome had to beat off the women as they left the store with their bags of jeans and t-shirts.
They then when to Marshal Fields for dress clothes (one pair of slacks and two button up shirts) and underclothes. Then they went to Famous Footwear for shoes (one pair sneakers and one pair dress shoes). By the time they were done, Shippo was elated but exhausted. And hungry.
"Kaa-san, can we go get some food?"
"Oh course Sweetie. Let's go find you something to eat."
As they headed down to the food court, Kagome noticed four boys with abnormal powers following them but at first didn't think anything of it, after all, this was the future and a mall, and it was entirely possible they were just hungry. Besides, people didn't just go out and attack other people in malls.right?
However, as she paid for her and Shippo's lunches, and noticed that the boys had stopped walking behind them and were standing, leaning up against the railing that separated the food court from the rest of the mall, talking together, always keeping at least one eye on Kagome, she began to study them closer.
The short one dressed in black was obviously a demon. With a bit of concentration, she could tell he was a fire apparition, though he seemed to be a hybrid fire/ice demon. He looked as though he would cheerfully kill any one who got in his way, if cheerful could ever describe him.
The person next to him, a medium height boy with black hair, seemed to be mostly human, with perhaps a fourth to an eighth of demon blood in him. He had a large amount of power, not demon or miko, something strange that she couldn't quite recognize.
Talking with him was a large human boy with orange hair. He also seemed to have a large amount of power, though he didn't seem to be able to use it offensively for the most part. He was totally human.
Lastly, there was a boy who had beautiful red hair with a rose tucked behind his ear. He was hard to decipher. He had the body of a human but the soul of a.kitsune. He seemed to be best classified as Hanyou, but she didn't think that was quite true either. Shrugging, she simply noted that he had a lot of power as well, though most of the demon power was locked away.
Suddenly, she felt something trying to enter her mind. Frowning, she glanced up at the boys again and saw them all staring at her intently.
'How dare you enter my mind, demon!?' She whispered to the intruder in her head. With a great shove, she closed her mind to the demon that possessed the power to read it. As she did this, the small black demon staggered slightly in shock. She smirked at him and turned to walk to a table with her son.
"Kaa-san, what is this?" Shippo asked as he poked the meal with his fork, looking like the food was going to up and bite him instead of the other way around.
"That is a hamburger. It's a beef patty on bread with.ketchup, with is like a tomato sauce.kinda. Don't worry, it's good. Just try it."
"Hai."
Shippo warily picked up the hamburger and bit into it. As soon as the taste of it hit his tongue, his innocent eyes widened in surprise and his began to eat it enthusiastically, stopping only to get a drink of water. Kagome smiled as she watched her son inhale the food, but kept a watchful eye on him, trying to ensure that he didn't choke, after all, he was only five years old. An incredibly intelligent five year old, but five all the same.
She ate her hamburger more slowly, half concentrating on her son, and half on the boys still watching them. The full demon, she was sure, could hear everything they were saying, but she wasn't sure about the hanyou. The two mostly human boys couldn't hear a word and were looking bored.
After Shippo had finished eating, he looked expectantly at Kagome, as if wondering why she wasn't done yet.
"Done Shippo?"
"Hai!"
"Did you like it?" She asked, trying to conceal her smirk.
"Hai! It was better then Ramen!"
"Really? Are you still hungry?"
"A little."
"Would you like to finish mine?"
"Can I?!"
"Of course." Kagome handed her son the rest of her hamburger with a small smile. She was glad that there was no more Naraku to worry about; it was time that they had peace for a while. They deserved it, they all did.
Kagome's eye clouded with tears briefly, the sorrow over loosing her friends still fresh and sore, like an open wound, and thinking about them caused pain like pouring salt over the wound.
Shippo looked up from his hamburger to stare at his Kaa-san, concern shinning in his eyes.
"Kaa-san? What's wrong?"
Kagome started slightly before answering.
"It's nothing sweetie. Are you done eating?"
"Hai."
"Are you full."
"Hai, Kaa-san."
"Okay then, we have only a few more things to buy. You ready?"
Shippo nodded, his ponytail fluttering with the movement. Kagome smiled and grabbed their trays.
"Alright, when we finish with our food, what we do is bring the trays and our garbage to the garbage cans, see? Right over there? Then we put the garbage in the can and put the tray on top. Like this." She demonstrated with her tray and then gave the second one to Shippo, who she could see what eager to try a new future thing to do. As he finished the simple task of throwing away his garbage, he turned to Kagome with pride.
"Good job Shippo. You're learning quickly. Come on, there's a few more things to get."
Careful to keep an eye on the group that was still following them, Kagome lead Shippo to a toy store. And let him loose.
"Shippo, let's find a few toys you would like to play with." She said, expecting him to leap for them.
"Toys?" He asked, confusion in his eyes.
"Hai, toys. Things for you to play with. You can't always practice your illusions or get into fights here Shippo. What you can do is play with other kids or with toys. You can get a stuffed animal, like my bear, you remember him?" Shippo nodded in confirmation, remembering the bear he had liked so much.
"Or there are games, like.board games, where you move little pieces around a flat board, like a picture and try to win, or group games, like tag or hide and seek, or you can play with bubbles or do art supplies, or.well, there's thousands of things you can do."
Kagome was said to realize that Shippo had had to grow up faster then she had realized. He had never really had time to play with other children. He probably couldn't really remember his parents, other then when they had died. His whole memory would be traveling with her and Inuyasha, fighting demons for the jewel shards.
"When do we fight demons then?" He asked, echoing Kagome's thoughts.
"Shippo, sweetie, we don't have to fight demons here. Now we can concentrate on school, and playing, and you can just be a normal kid. Come on, let's find something for you to play with."
She took her son's hand, tears once again fighting to escape the confines of her eyes. She quickly wiped her eyes, she didn't want to upset Shippo, she wanted him to have fun. They spent two hours in the toy store, and the whole time the four boys stayed near the entrance of the store while Shippo looked around at all the things he had never seen or heard of before.
When they left, Shippo had gotten two games, twister and Sorry. He had a bike and helmet, and a ball. He had looked longingly at a stuffed fox, but he didn't buy it. Kagome knew that he wanted it, but didn't want to ask for anything else and that he probably thought he wasn't supposed to remember his demon form or his birth parents, so she snuck it into the cart when he wasn't looking.
She paid, noticing that she was spending a lot on her credit card. She just shrugged, it was for Shippo, and it was time he had a good childhood. She grabbed the bags and struggled to a payphone. Looking up the number, she called a porter to bring her purchases to the house. When she was done, she grabbed Shippo's hand through the loops on the bags and led him to the doors where they waited for the porter.
The boys, she noticed, were gone. They must have gotten bored of something. She shrugged it off, reserving the thought for later when she would try to figure out why they would follow her and her son around for an afternoon. When the porter arrived, she paid him and took Shippo to the bus station.
"Come on baby, let's go get you some ice cream ok?"
"Yey! Really Kaa-san? Do they make chocolate ice cream?"
"Yes really, and yes they do make chocolate ice cream."
(A/N Let's pretend that Kagome had managed to bring Shippo ice cream once, ok? Let's play pretend.)
They got off the bus at the stop before the one that would take them home, the ice cream parlor was near to her house, so they could just walk back. As they sat down to eat, Kagome saw a woman who looked vaguely familiar. She sent out her senses and found that it was the same woman who had been visiting her mother the day she had come home. Unknowingly, she growled slightly and Shippo looked up at her, startled.
"Kaa-san?"
"Hai, Shippo?"
"Why were you growling?"
"Was I? Come on, let's get you your ice cream." Shippo was efficiently distracted and he bounced over to the counter. She followed him, smiling slightly.
"Can we have one small bowl of chocolate ice cream and one small bowl of mint chip?"
"Of course you can! Is the chocolate for that cute little boy there?" Kagome smiled, happy that her son was getting so many compliments.
"Hai, it is, arigato."
"Here you go!" The cheerful woman said as she swung the two bowls of ice cream at Kagome, her blue hair swings behind her.
Kagome took the ice cream and put the money for it on the counter before leaning in close to the woman.
"And if you come near him, Lady death, I will make sure you need to find way to carry your own soul down the River Styx."
The woman's eyes widened in surprise, looking slightly fearful.
"I won't lady, I'm not here for him." Her eyes were respectful, though they still held a hint of fear.
"And if that woman over there is with you, tell her to leave my family along, got it?" Kagome growled, pointing at the woman her mother knew.
"I am only following orders my lady."
"Be sure your orders don't cross mine."
Kagome left the counter and walked back to her son, who again seemed to inhale his food, though he had to stop several times because of brain freeze. Kagome managed to finish her ice cream nearly before Shippo and she watched him finish up his.
He really looked cute, his short auburn ponytail slightly messy, innocent amber eyes half closed with the pleasure of his ice cream treat, and with chocolate smears all over his face. When he finished, Kagome grabbed a napkin and gently wiped his mouth clean.
"Sweetie, you need to learn to eat slower. It's rude to inhale your food."
"Gomen, Kaa-san."
"It's ok, but next time eat slower."
"Hai! Where are we going now?"
"Home! I'm tired, aren't you?"
"Hai, I'm ready to go home too."
Kagome stood up, grabbing her purse and helped Shippo out of his chair. As he stood up, his hand slipped into her and she smiled down at him. They walked across the park, Shippo still hugging the little ball that he had gotten earlier.
"Kaa-san?"
"Hai, Shippo?"
"Can we play with my ball?" He asked eagerly, loving the way the park felt.
"Of course Shippo, would you like to play catch?"
"Hai!" He seemed very excited, Kagome was surprised at how much energy he had, she was exhausted, but since it was his first day outside in this time, she would humor him.
"Ok, toss it to me, just lightly now."
Shippo threw it to Kagome and it bounced at her feet, landing in her hands. Shippo squealed in delight and Kagome threw it back to him. They stayed in the park for an hour and the people passing by looked at the sight and smiled, thinking they saw a sister playing with her little brother. Either way, the scene was cute, and all who passed couldn't help but think about how sweet the scene was.
"Shippo, I think it's time we went home."
"Ah.Just five more minutes?"
"Iie, we have to get home, Oba-san is expecting us."
"Oh fine."
Shippo grabbed his ball and walked over to Kagome so he could hold her hand. As they walked toward the shrine, Kagome felt the presences that she should have felt long ago. She turned around, her spine stiff.
"They're here."
TO BE CONTINUED.

Author's Note: There we go, a new chapter. The next chapter will be a fight, introductions between the characters, and Kagome finding out about her part in a prophecy concerning the Demon Queen. And I know that the characters are OOC, but this is the way I wanted them. Shippo seems a little shy and childish, the reason for this is because in his transformation, his development was set back a bit, and for the sake of this story, demons age the same way humans do until they are teenagers, say around.18.
