Chapter 7-Shippo's Shopping Experience

Kagome peddled quickly trying to catch up with Souta, but she couldn't find him.

"I'm bored! Can we go back and eat something?" Inuyasha whined.

"No! We have to find Shippo! Just think of the trouble he could get into in this era!" Kagome yelled back.

"He'll be fine, it's not like there's any demons around here."

"No, but there are plenty of cars!"

"What's a car?" Inuyasha asked.

"If we pass one, I'll show you."

Just then a fast red car sped past them making a loud noise.

"Geez! What kind of monster was that?" Inuyasha asked surprised.

"That's a car!"

Inuyasha just stared back at the bright red machine getting farther and farther away. Kagome came up to Mark's house and saw Mark looking towards the back of his yard. Kagome thought that maybe Souta was there.

"Hey Mark!" Kagome said stopping her bike and making Inuyasha become unbalanced. "Have you seen Souta?"

"Souta? Yeah, he just went that way following the floating fox I saw," Mark replied.

"Shippo?"

"Yeah, that's what he called him."

"Thanks Mark! See you later!" Kagome peddled off, and Inuyasha tried not to fall off the back.

Shippo scurried around the shopping center he had arrived at completely confused. He tried to duck behind something whenever somebody came near him, but it was getting harder for him to stay invisible. So many people were around. He finally saw someone stepping out of some building. The doors opened without the person even touching them. In other words, automatic doors.

'How'd that person do that? Are there sorcerers in this era?' Shippo wondered.

He cautiously walked over to the doors, when he got close enough, they opened!

'What kind of magic is that?!' Shippo was surprised.

He walked into the building and immediately ducked behind a box that he saw by the door. There were people everywhere with food. Shippo was so hungry, he hadn't eaten anything for days.

'I have to find out where the food is!' Shippo scurried past the cash registers and towards the first aisle. He looked down it and saw somebody, so he dived behind a box to his left. He opened up one of the boxes around him, and to his delight, found Lucky Charms. He began to gobble down the scrumptious marshmallows and the rest of the cereal happily, then moved down the row of cereal boxes. He popped his head out from behind the boxes and looked what was beside the aisle he was in. Fruit, lots and lots of fruit! Shippo scurried to the smallest fruits he could find, cherries. He started to stuff his pockets full of cherries, and then ran off into another aisle.

The alcohol aisle was next. Shippo was so thirsty, he didn't know what was in the bottles, but he would find out soon enough. He took a bottle tried to open it up.

'How is anybody supposed to open up these drinks?' Shippo thought struggling with the cork.

Finally Shippo just broke the top of the wine bottle on the floor and hid behind the other bottles before people started gathering to see what happened. Shippo drank down the whole bottle in seconds.

'Wow that was good!' Shippo grabbed another bottle, broke the top on the floor, and guzzled it down. "That hick was goooooooooooood.' Shippo took another bottle with him for the road.

He snuck out of the grocery store with ease and went to another store.

"How am I going to find Shippo here?!" Souta yelled staring at the huge shopping center. "There's too many stores to look in! I'll never find him!" Souta didn't want to admit defeat, but he was not about to look through all the shopping centers by himself.

"Souta!" A familiar voice called out.

Souta turned around to see Kagome and Inuyasha on Kagome's bike coming towards him. Souta smiled seeing as now he wouldn't have to look alone.

"We've been looking all over for you," Kagome said stopping in front of Souta.

"Sorry, I was looking for you!" Souta said happily.

"Looks more like you were going shopping," Kagome said.

"Shippo's somewhere in this shopping center, I can't look for him alone. You guys have to help me look," Souta said.

"Well duh, that's what we're here for," Inuyasha said.

"Ok, I've got a plan of attack!" Kagome said.

"Oh great, Kagome has a plan," Inuyasha said sarcastically.

"Shut up you! Now as I was saying, we'll each take one shop, there's only three of them." Kagome said.

"I'll take the grocery store," Souta said.

"I'll take the discount clothing shop, and Inuyasha you take the toy store," Kagome said.

"Feh," Inuyasha said.

They all split up in opposite directions, one person per store. All of them determined to find Shippo, except Inuyasha who could care less.

Ok end of chapter! Please review! You can even complain about how long it took me to update! Have fun!
