Well, I'm baaaaack! It's kind of late, and it's a school night...and I just ate...and got really embarrassed at Joe's Crab Shack. If you ever have a birthday where you just wanna feel like being an idiot, go to Joes! They make you do the craziest things...I had to ride a little stick horse with a big hat on around the restaurant while everyone sang happy birthday! Geez!

Disclaim: Guess who doesn't own it...ME!

Chapter 6-The Unforgettable Scent

The next day, everyone was getting ready to head out again. They all got their things and waved bye to Kaede as they walked off.

"So, anyone have any idea where we're going?" Shippo asked.

"No," Inuyasha responded.

"Oh. I'm bored," Shippo said.

"Shippo, we just left," Sango said.

"I know, but I'm just really, really bored."

"Oh just shut the hell up!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Someone's cranky," Kagome muttered.

"I am not! I'm just annoyed," Inuyasha said.

"Is it about Shimbo?" Miroku asked.

"How'd you ever guess?" Inuyasha said sarcastically.

They all kept walking for miles without any jewel sightings, villages in peril, or anything interesting.

"Can we stop and take a rest?" Shippo whined.

"No, so suck it up," Inuyasha said.

"I'm so bored!" Shippo said.

"Then go to sleep or something!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Don't worry Shippo," Kagome said, "eventually we'll take a rest."

"Eventually..." Shippo repeated.

Suddenly Shippo felt a strange urge to change into Shimbo. He tried to think about something else and keep his mind off of it, but soon the urge became too strong, and he found himself blurting out, "I gotta go!" He ran out a ways behind some trees.

"Does he really have to go now?" Inuyasha asked annoyed.

"Oh, come on, you don't expect him to hold it in do you?" Kagome asked.

Inuyasha started walking again.

"Hey, aren't you gonna wait for Shippo?" Kagome asked.

"He can catch up!"

Shippo stood behind the tree trying to fight this unstoppable urge, but he couldn't. He finally found himself blurting out, "Grant me power."

He soon changed into Shimbo and smiled, "That's better."

"Inuyasha! Wait up!" Kagome yelled.

"I'm not slowing down!"

"Sit!"

Inuyasha fell face first onto the hard ground.

"Bitch," he mumbled.

Inuyasha slowly pulled himself up off the ground and then sniffed the air.

"What's wrong Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"I smell Shimbo," He replied.

"Huh?!" Kagome's eyes widened a bit. 'Why would Shippo change now?' she thought.

Inuyasha looked behind Kagome and saw Shimbo standing there staring at him.

"Kagome! Get out of the way!" Inuyasha said reaching for his Tetsuiga.

Miroku, Kirara, and Sango started to run their way.

"Eager to fight Inuyasha?" Shimbo asked.

"This time there's nothing holding me back from killing you," Inuyasha said.

"Inuyasha don't! He hasn't done anything!" Kagome yelled.

Shimbo took a step forward, then lunged at Inuyasha with his foxfire in his hands.

"Die Inuyasha!" He yelled.

"Shimbo, don't!" Kagome yelled.

"Kitsune-bi!" Shimbo shot out his foxfire at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha jumped out of the way of the attack drawing his sword.

"Hiraikotsu!" Sango threw her weapon at Shimbo.

Shimbo jumped up and dodged the huge weapon.

"Stand back!" Miroku yelled grabbing the prayer beads on his right hand.

'Oh no! I can't get sucked up into that wind tunnel,' Shimbo thought.

He looked over at Kagome, then jumped behind her making Miroku let go of the prayer beads and lower his hand.

"Shippo, what are you doing?" Kagome whispered.

"My name's not Shippo, it's Shimbo," he said.

"Get away from Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled running towards him.

"Bye," Shimbo said jumping away from Kagome.

"Quit running!" Inuyasha yelled. 'I can see the wind scar,' Inuyasha thought looking at Shimbo. "Ha! You're dead!"

Inuyasha raised his sword up.

'Oh no! Inuyasha's going to use the wind scar on Shippo!' Kagome thought.

Inuyasha thrusted his sword towards the ground causing his attack to commence. Before it had a chance to hit Shimbo, Kirara jumped over, grabbed Shimbo by the shirt, and jumped out of the way. Kagome sighed in relief.

"Damn it!" Inuyasha yelled.

Kirara found a good place to hide Shimbo and dropped him.

"Why did you save me?" Shimbo asked, "you know I'm not going to change back to normal...shit!"

A blue light engulfed Shimbo and he soon returned to normal. Shippo sat there looking at Kirara.

"Oh my gosh! Kirara!" Shippo got worried.

Kirara leaned over and rubbed her head against Shippo.

"You saved me, thank you." Shippo sat there a while reluctant to go back. 'It was the strangest feeling. I couldn't control what I was doing...I had no control whatsoever. I attacked Inuyasha out of nowhere, and used Kagome as a shield against Miroku's wind tunnel. Why?'

A fire was built, and everyone was sitting in front of it resting up. Inuyasha was again annoyed by having Shimbo get away.

"Damn him to hell!" Inuyasha spat out. "I hate that bastard!"

"You hate a lot of people," Miroku said.

"Who asked you?" Inuyasha said crossing his arms.

"I've seen him so much, that I'm starting to get used to his scent..." Inuyasha stopped and sniffed the air.

"What's wrong Inuyasha?" Sango asked.

"I smell that bastard again!" Inuyasha said sniffing the air still. "He's close by! What the hell does he want?"

Shippo's heart skipped a beat. He had never thought that Inuyasha would remember Shimbo's scent. Kagome stopped breathing for a second as her mind raced trying to think of something to help Shippo, but she thought of nothing.

"I'll kill that bastard this time!" Inuyasha yelled.

-End-

Ooo, I think I might of done a good cliffhanger this time. Ha ha ha! Finally!

foxfire22-Thank you! That would be kind of cool if Shippo was helping more.

Dark Inu Fan-Yeah, you have great ideas! If you noticed, I used your other one...I hope you don't mind, but I really liked the idea.

Ok...now I have to go to sleep, tomorrow's a Monday...I hate Monday's...oooo, but Wednesday's my B-day! I'll be 15! Cool! Review please!!!
