Chapter 6
The three of them arrived at the waterside while the noon sun burnt down on them. The kitsune were some feet in front of the two Inuyashas the whole way and now stood next to the rushing water. He peered down and saw a big swarm of carps swimming near his little claws. But he decided that the water ran too fast and it would be too dangerous for him and his small fox-feet to stand in there. "InuYasha, the flow is too fast."
The said hanyou glanced over the river when he and his younger self approached the demon. "I see that, runt. Let's go over there." He pointed one clawed finger to a larger shore area on which two small boats and nets were laying. Shippou turned around to see what the hanyou meant and ran giggling towards the sand bank. He knew Inuyasha wanted to provoke the villagers.
Inu-chan looked over to realize, that that was the fishing place of the people that lived here. "But that place belongs to the villagers."
"Keh. The river doesn't belong to anyone and we will hunt there." When Inuyasha started to follow the kitsune, Inu-chan went close behind him reluctantly.
Some minutes had past and Shippou had arrived at their destination by running while the two hanyous slowly walked and still had some hundreds meters to walk. Inu-chan increased his speed a little in order to reach the older boy's side. Looking up to his face he gathered all courage he had and asked what bothered him the whole time. "So, you are going to keep me?"
"It seems so. Are you complaining about it?" InuYasha peered down on the little boy and saw a mixture of emotions washing over his features, he couldn't put his finger on.
"No, no. It's just…" The child cast his eyes down to the sandy way.
"Just what, kid?"
"Just…that there was never any human or demon, except my oka-san, before who treated me well … and I haven't lived with someone else than her either."
InuYasha thought for a moment and tried to remember. He knew there was that time he didn't trust anyone except himself and he lived far away from all human villages to protect himself. That time had lasted long, many years, until he'd met Kikyo, who finally had treated him like a person not a monster. But he hadn't thought that time had started so early in his life. Maybe Kagome was right and he doesn't have to suffer like his older self had done. "Then you'll learn something new. Sango and Miroku are good and trustworthy people and Kagome is-"
"Is nice."
"Yeah, that's her way of treating people, even strange persons and enemies." While saying that he remembered a certain wolf-demon, but pushed this thought in the back of his mind.
"She is wonderful."
"Huh?!" InuYasha eyed the child, who blushed as he noticed what he'd just said.
Inu-chan's watched again the yellow brown sand under his bare feet. "She reminds me of oka-san."
"Really?! … Anyway, Shippo is happy to finally have someone to play with."
"He wants to be my friend?"
"Yup."
After this new information had sunk into his little head he looked up again. "Em, you are me and I am you. Are you strong and brave?"
InuYasha was irritated by the child's question. "What shall this question. Of course I'm strong and brave."
"So you are going to protect me." He looked so hopefully, but the answer he received was everything else he had awaited.
"No."
"Nani?!" Inu-chan stopped abruptly in his track and looked confused to the older hanyou.
"I will show you to use your claws to fight for your own. – But until then I will protect you."
A small smile appeared on the boy's face and he began to walk again. "Hai. … How strong are you? Have you killed a demon before?"
"Keh. A demon?! I killed hundreds of them."
"Wow. I can become so strong?!" The child looked amazed at InuYasha and somehow he liked being watched with this adoring view.
