Chapter 1-Gift From a Mother
Inuyasha and the gang were staying at Kaede's place for a little while after their trip looking for the Shikon jewel shards. Shippo was sitting by the door with Kirara watching everyone else talk. They had just been in a battle and everyone was having their wounds tended to. Shippo wasn't hurt at all; he was never in any battles and felt bad. Everyone could fight except for him; he felt he wasn't strong enough to do anything for them. But that night, it all changed.
It was a cool night, and everyone was asleep, except for Shippo. He decided to go out and visit someone he knew, his mother. She had died a long time ago, but she was buried somewhere around here. Whenever he was close enough and had time, he would go to her. She was buried by a nice little lake, Shippo's father would have been buried by her here if he hadn't been around the waist of that thunder brother. Curse him, Shippo thought to himself. He finally made it to where his mother was. He slowly walked over to her grave, it wasn't anything fancy, just a big rock by the lake. "Hi Mom," Shippo said sitting down next to her grave. He always felt so comforted here, like she was still here hugging him. He lied on his back and began to tell her everything that had been happening since he last was there. Though she wasn't there, Shippo thought that she may just hear him somewhere. After telling about his day he confessed his feelings. "I hate the fact that I am so small, I can't do anything to help in battle with my friends. I wish I could do something, but I just can't!" He closed his eyes for a few seconds and opened them again. "I should get going back to everyone else," He said getting up from the ground. "Thank you for listening." As he stood there, he noticed something scribbled on the back of his mother's grave. "What's this?" Shippo walked over to the writing and read. It said Dig below for the feather that will grant you power. "Dig for a feather?" Shippo was puzzled, but still dug. At first he felt like he was digging up his mother's grave, but since it was behind the grave he knew that he wouldn't dig her up. He dug until the whole could fit him in it before he saw the feather. He reached down into the hole and picked it up. It seemed to be an ordinary red dirty feather to him. "What will this do?" Shippo asked himself turning the feather around. "How can this little feather grant me power?" Suddenly, there was a flash of red light and a strange feeling came over Shippo. The light died out in only seconds, and Shippo just stood where he was. "Ok, what was that?" Shippo asked himself looking at the feather. The feather seemed to be smaller than it was before the light. Now looking at his hands, they seemed bigger too, and voice was deeper. "W-w-what just happened?" Shippo walked over to the lake and looked at his reflection. "Whoa!" Shippo fell back at what he saw. He knelt by the lake again and stared at his reflection. He grew, instead of being a little tiny fox, he was fully-grown, about the size of Inuyasha or Miroku. "Hey," Shippo said in his new deeper voice, "I look cool!" Shippo admired himself for a little while more. "But, how do I change back to normal?" He asked himself. The red light formed again and disappeared just as quickly as before. In seconds Shippo was looking back at his old tiny reflection. "I-I-I'm back to normal?" Shippo was puzzled. Oh, I get it. The feather must react when I say 'grant me power' or 'back to normal' he thought to himself. "So, if I grow, my powers must grow too." he turned to his mother's grave, "Thank you mom." Shippo scurried back to Kaede's to get some sleep.
This is a good place to stop, I am not good at building suspense. Sorry if this first chapter was boring, but it will build up.
