Shippo and Kirara knew they were in danger. That knowledge is paradoxical, because they knew they were in danger, they were in no danger. Shippo climbed on to a transformed Kirara's back and they flew out of the forest.
Not exciting, perhaps, but it kept them alive. And that is the truth.
Now a new problem faced them.
"Where are the others?" said Shippo.
Kirara would have told Shippo that she couldn't talk, but she couldn't talk. In the end they decided to go to Krinsha, the nearest town. They could not, and did not know that this was the direction that brought them directly away from the others. They similarly weren't aware of a certain thunder demon that was living there.
There entrance into town was auspicious, which is not surprising if you've ever seen a Fire/Cat beast descend from the sky and (instead of a monster) a small child jumps off.
"Shippo?" asked Souten.
Like all questions of this nature Souten did not know exactly who she was asking. If you asked her, she would either say she was thinking out loud or get angry and inform you on your own stupidity.
"Souten?" asked Shippo.
Like all questions of this nature Shippo did not know exactly who he was asking. If you asked him, he would either say he was thinking out loud or get angry and inform you on your own stupidity.
"Welcome to Krinsha mighty demon child. We offer you great gifts, of course in return, we ask only that you do not bring your armies against us?" said a high council member in a tone which suggested a fantastic story on Souten's part.
Souten merely smiled with feigned innocence.
A huge feast greeted them and after hours of eating Shippo & Souten finally had a subject to talk about.
"Where did they get this food?" asked Shippo.
"The Others, who are indeed having a wonderful time," assured Souten.
Shippo pondered this unintelligible answer but never quite figured out what she ment.
Next time on the Kill Chiba show, The Others demonstrate there incredible greatness, plus Kagome & Sesshoumaru part II.
Coming up next Face-Off! On this episode Godot and guest commentator Charlie Townsend discuss the difficulty of writing about the least interesting characters in a series, plus the pros and cons of mentioning non-canon and almost unnamed characters in a story.
