Shippo: Chapter 1
important note: Hi! It's me again. In case you've never read one of my stories before, my name is Becca. But that's not why I said this note was important. The important thing is this. You may have noticed I've called the first 3 chapters of my story 'chapter 1' with a character name in front. That's because all 3 of the first chapters are chapter 1. Just from different perspectives. Therefore, they all happen at around the same time, though 'Kagome: Chapter 1' starts a little sooner than the other two, and 'Inuyasha: Chapter 3' starts at the same time as 'Shippo: Chapter 1' and goes a little farther. So, I hope this story makes more sense to you with the help of this note. And now, without further ado, enjoy the story!!
"Ha ha! Sucker!!" I called over my shoulder, as I ran with all my might away from the angry figure that was Inuyasha. 'He'll never catch me in this dense forest.' I thought to myself happily. "Why you little maggot! Get your butt back here, or I'm gonna..." His voice trailed off as I put distance between us.
After a few minutes of running, I started to slow down, and eventually stopped all together. I sat down to catch my breath. A few seconds later, I looked up, and noticed a berry bush only a few feet from me. "Awesome!!" I cried happily, little fox ears immediately perking up. Completely forgetting the Ramen Kagome was making, I bounded over to the bush and started to chow down.
A couple minutes later, I was so full I could barely move. I decided the others wouldn't mind if I was gone a while, and lay down to take a short rest. Unfortunately, I was more tired than I thought...
A couple hours later, I opened my eyes. Instinctively, I looked towards the sun to see what time it was. Suddenly I was wide awake. "Uh-oh, I must have been asleep for at least 3 hours! The others are going to kill me!" I jumped up and frantically tried to find my way back. It didn't take very long, what with my fox nose. Minutes later, I arrived at the campsite. "Kagome! Inuyasha! You guys, sorry I'm so-" Suddenly, I stopped talking. All four of them had looks on their faces like they had seen a ghost, or worse. 'Wait a minute!' I thought suddenly. 'All four of them?' I counted on my fingers. 'Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Kirara...' "Where's Inuyasha?" I wondered. Normally, I wouldn't be worried, but there was something in the air that made me fear the worst. At first, no one answered my question. "Well?" I said, more firmly this time. "Where is he?" I looked at Sango and Miroku in turn, but they both refused to meet my eyes. Then I looked toward Kagome. "... Kagome?" She looked up at me, eyes displaying no emotion. "Is...is Inuyasha... hurt, or something?" "No." she said quietly. I was about to sigh in relief, but Kagome made it sound like maybe that wasn't a good thing. "Then... then what's wrong?" "...Inuyasha..." She looked away. "Is... dead."
