Ack!! 2nd chapter!
Chapter 2 "......"=things said '.......'=things thought
The sunlight poured into the room, and yet, Shippo slept like a rock. Midori looked at him, wondering what to do.
'Mama said to wake him up easily......how am I supposed to do this?' She looked at him again, 'Well, I know one way mama does it to daddy. I wonder if that'll work?' She crawled up on the bed, sitting next to his head. 'Ok....hope I don't get in trouble for this.' She leaned down to his ear 'Now mama does this,' she took a deep breath. "WAKE UP!" she screamed in his sensitive ears.
"AHHH!! Whoa, argh" Then a loud crash. In his surprise, he had fallen off the bed.
"Midori!," Kagome yelled from downstairs, "What did you do?"
"Nothing mama" she answered, and ran down to her as Shippo got up, rubbing his head.
"Ouch, that is definitely their child. Better get up before the other three decide to help." He dressed and threw his hair in a low ponytail, then proceeded to the kitchen.
"Haruko, please go set the table" Kagome said to the boy who was attempting to drag his father to the ground. Inuyasha grabbed the boy by the leg and held him in the air. "Do what your mama told you."
"Yes, daddy" he said, disappointed that his game was ended.
"Ryu! Keitaro! Quit playing with your food and eat it!" barked Inuyasha.
The boys abruptly stopped and continued eating as Shippo entered the room. The children stopped everything and stared at him.
"Shippo, good morning!" said Kagome, giving him a hug, "Come meet the children."
"I've met one" he said, looking at the child hiding behind her mother's skirt.
"I'm sorry for yelling to wake you up." She said with the sweetest smile.
Inuyasha butted in finally. "Don't apologize for that. He probably deserves it."
"Inuyasha! You'll give the kids bad ideas" said Kagome, smacking him on the head.
"Sorry" he said sulking.
"Well, anyway, this is Haruko, our oldest. And this is Ryu and Keitaro. They and Midori are triplets."
"Nice to meet you all. My name is Shippo."
"Are you an inuyoukai like us?" asked Haruko.
"No, I'm a kitsune youkai."
"So this is the uncle Shippo you told us about in your stories?" asked Ryu.
"No," Kagome said, Shippo looked at her, frightened, "He is your brother, not your uncle."
"Really! You mean Haruko's not the oldest!" cried Keitaro.
"Well, yes but, oh I'll explain it to you later. Right now, I want to hear what Shippo has done over the past 500 years!" said Kagome.
"Yeah! A story" cried the children.
"Well, we better sit down. It's a long one."
They all went into the living room, cluttered with toys and clothes. Inuyasha was on the couch, watching TV. Kagome went over and turned it off.
"What did you do that for!?" he whined.
"Shippo is going to tell us what he has been doing while he was gone."
"Whatever," he said, pretending to fall asleep.
The triplets each sat in a chair of their own, while Haruko sat between his mom and dad. Shippo fell into a recliner.
"So where did you go after we completed the jewel?" asked Kagome.
"Well, for a while I just wandered from place to place. I mostly stayed in caves. You would be proud, Inuyasha. I hunted on the skills you taught me. I meant to thank you for that."
"Feh, don't mention it" he said gruffly but secretly smiling.
Shippo laughed at him. "Anyway, I spent most of the first hundred years training and teaching myself just to learn to live. I started to make brief appearances in human societies, just to see how they would react. A lot of people were kind to young demons like me then, but others were just plain mean. Ha ha! I was chased out more than once by the boys of the villages, but scared the life out of them afterward by changing into my youkai form."
"Your youkai form? Since when?" asked Inuyasha, suddenly interested.
"I could do it when I was with you, but only on occasion, so I didn't show you. Sorry."
"It's ok. Continue with your story" said Kagome. "Ok, well, in the next hundred years, I spent most of my time making allies with other demons. I only wanted to learn different ways to live, and one group I saw occasionally was Koga's gang."
"WHAT! You actually talked to that flea-bag willingly!" said Inuyasha.
"Yeah, well, it wasn't so much I went to see him. It was more to see her.
"Your mate?" said Inuyasha in a mocking tone.
"She is not my mate, she is just a friend. She lived with Koga, so I saw her whenever I went to talk to him. Actually, she is the reason I made an alliance with Koga."
"What's her name?" asked Midori.
Shippo smiled, "Her name is Kumiko. She is a kitsune youkai like me. I stayed with them on and off for about another hundred years. Then a rival wolf pack caused them to leave."
"Heh! He wasn't strong enough to take them on, huh? Typical wolf" said Inuyasha.
Shippo glared at him. "He left because the majority of his pack was sick because of a plague. He knew if he went into battle with them, his pack would be destroyed. So, he left."
"Well, it was for the better, then." said Kagome.
"That is another reason I came back. I got word from some minor demons that he is back in this area and living pretty good. Aside from seeing you, I hoped to find him and Kumiko as well. I was really skeptical when I arrived, but then I caught her scent in a small diner, along with the smell of wolves."
"What? Koga is here? Now?" squeaked Kagome.
"At least, I think he is. It might just be his pack. There is no telling where he is."
"So, this Kumiko, she lives with Koga? And she is a kitsune? How did that happen?" asked Inuyasha.
"Beats me. I usually only talked to her and we never talked about our current situations. I know she doesn't have parents, and I guess she figured my real parents were dead since I considered you my mom." He looked at Kagome.
"Ahem, if I recall, I was a pretty good father figure." piped Inuyasha.
"You actually claim me?" asked Shippo, staring at him and raising an eyebrow.
"Well, yeah, I mean, I still think you are pretty useless, but wasn't I always there to protect you?"
"So Shippo really is our brother." Keitaro whispered to his siblings. Kagome giggled, "Well, what did you do the rest of the time from when she left till now?"
"Basically, I wandered around looking for her. Then I found out where you lived, and decided to come here."
"But where did you live this whole time?" she asked.
"Where ever I wanted to. A homeless shelter, hotels, the streets. It depended on what I felt like. I have money, so I had food and clothes whenever I needed it." He saw the worried look on Kagome's face and added,
"I didn't steal it or anything. Remember the deals with the other demons I told you I made? Well, over five hundred years, you can change the rules a bit." He sat smiling.
"Well that's good to know. So, how do you mean you 'changed the rules'?" asked Kagome.
"Favors" he chuckled, "Or blackmail some would call it."
"SHIPPO!" cried Kagome.
"Atta boy!" said Inuyasha, who was then slapped upside the head.
Shippo laughed. "Anyway, I meant to ask. Do you have any idea how I can find her? This is a big city, and I just got here, so I don't know my way around."
"We could check on the internet directory. There might be something there. Inuyasha, could you check after we eat?" asked Kagome. He started to answer when there was a knock at the door. Kagome got up to answer it. A minute after she opened the door, "Shippo, it's for you!"
Well, Shippo and everyone else jumped up to greet the stranger at the door. It was a girl. She was panting, obviously from running, but smiling. He stared at her for a moment before recognizing her red hair, long tail, and familiar scent.
"Kumiko!" He shouted.
Umm........OK, it sucks. So review and tell me how to change it!! Guess I'll update later. See ya!
