A/N I have all this time on my hands now… I guess I don't have an excuse not to write anymore. Oh well, I suppose that is for the greater good ne? R&R please and thank you. And I am sorry but this chapter is shorter than normal.
Shippo strained to free himself from his boomerang prison. He withered and whined the way he does. Then he felt a warm sensation in his middle back. He stopped moving and looked startled. Oh my gosh, what is this? Has Sango done something to me? Am I injured? No… I'm not in pain… is it the tree? Oh no! Shippo's face showed what he was thinking.
"HEEELP! THE TREE IS ALIVEEE! IT'S GOING TO EEEAT MEEE! HEEELP!" Shippo started to bawl.
He was afraid that the warmness was the tree coming alive. He had heard stories of children running into the woods alone and never returning. He was told that the trees took the children. He didn't think the tree would just take him.
"HEELP"
"Shippo, shut UP!"
"Huh?" Shippo couldn't see who was talking to him through all of the tears in his eyes.
"You're over reacting. The tree isn't going to eat you."
"Sango?"
"Yes? Did you not recognize me?"
"I couldn't see you."
"Ahh, well. You are safe, the tree doesn't eat people." Sango smiled.
"Oh." Shippo sighed ion relief. "That is good."
Sango smiled again. "I'm going to go and look for Inuyasha. I couldn't get the covering off or the well."
"Okay. I will stand guard from the evil child eating trees." Shippo tried to straighten up and look strong, but failed. The boomerang was too much for him. He lowered his head. "It'll sure be nice to have my feet on the ground again."
Silence.
"Sango?" Shippo looked up. "Sango! You forgot to free me! Come back!"
Sango had started to walk back into the woods before Shippo noticed she left.
"No I didn't. Don't worry. Trees don't eat humans remember!"
Shippo sighed. "But I want down—" He abruptly stopped. "I—I'm—NOT A HUMAN!"
Shippo felt the warm sensation return. Then his sight started to leave him and the tree absorbed him.
A/N I'm sry my chapters are all so short and boring, but I will have some interesting scenes coming up soon. Thank you for being patient with me. My fic is finally going somewhere!
