Well, here's chapter 13! And I say.you wanted longer chapters.you got it!!!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Shippo!" Kagome yelled.

She stumbled into the place where they were. Her breath caught in her throat when she saw what was happening.

There was a bear youkai, dead, on the ground while Shesshoumaru fought with what seemed like an endless army of them. Rin was hiding behind a tree, where she was safe, but Shippo. . .her Shippo.

He was beside Shesshoumaru, using his FoxFire whenever he could.

But he was injured. . .

He held a paw to his side where blood was soaking through his shirt.

Kagome growled, softly at first but it grew, until she was roared. Blind with rage, she attacked the youkai. Her feet moved so fast it didn't look like they touched the ground anymore.

She was among them, slashing ruthlessly with her claws, and the youkai fell in large numbers to the ground.

Shippo looked through his blurry eyes and noticed that the youkai were now half gone. AND Shesshoumaru and him weren't being attacked anymore. They had turned their attention to something that was attacking them from within. He saw his adopted mother slash a youkai standing in front of her. At least. . .he thought it was her, but she looked so scary.

Her eyes that were usually a soft and bright amethyst color were now blood red and there were two blood red stripes on each of her cheeks. Her claws were extended and covered in blood.

She looked VERY scary. But Shippo's vision was quickly fading and he collapsed on the ground. Kagome heard him fall and she shouted to Shesshoumaru.

"Shesshoumaru! Get Shippo and Rin. Cover all of your ears, NOW!!!"

Shesshoumaru didn't even think twice.

He grabbed the injured and unconscious kitsune and ran over to Rin.

"Cover your ears Rin and don't take them off until I tell you to!"

Rin nodded and covered her ears with her hands. Shesshoumaru covered Shippo's ears with his tail and his own ears with his hands. He also shut down his ears for good measure.

When Kagome saw him cover his ears she took a deep breath and let out the highest scream you could ever imagine. All the youkai who heard it clutched at their ears in pain before they turned into dust. Kagome stopped screaming and her body returned to normal. Tight before she collapsed from sheer exhaustion.

Shippo.

Pain. . .

Overwhelming pain. . .

I slowly open my eyes and wince. I couldn't escape from the pain even in sleep. I could feel the pain coming from my left side. I tried to remember what had happened. It was a bit blurry though. . .

'Let's see. . .

I woke up and found out the Inuyasha's older brother was carrying us. Us meaning my Mommy, me and Rin.

Rin was already awake and she was sitting on Shesshoumaru's shoulder. I was curled up on my mom's stomach with my head on her chest. Shesshoumaru was carrying her like the humans carried people. I think they called it 'bridal style'. Any way they call it, that was how he carried her.

Rin smiled down at me from her perch.

"Hi!" she said, making me smile at her. "Good morning."

"Good morning," I said, sitting up carefully and rubbing my eyes.

"You're finally awake. . ." a voice said. I didn't bother to look up anymore. I already knew who was talking. Shesshoumaru. . .who else?

"Are you hungry Shippo-chan? Rin is hungry. Shesshoumaru-sama said that we'll stop in a little while. Did you have a good sleep? What did you dream about? Are you Kagome-san's real pup? Do you remember your parents? What do they-"

"Rin," Shesshoumaru said. Rin looked at him but he didn't turn his head to face her. "Let him breathe. We'll rest here."

He started to slow down and soon her put Mommy down on some skins he put under the tree. He covered her with the skin of the deer he had caught earlier.

"Go gather firewood," he told us and then turned to that icky toad of his. Rin was still sitting on his shoulder but he didn't mind her until after he told Jaken to watch Mommy. He started walking off and I thought that he'd forgotten that Rin was even on his shoulder. Until I saw his tail curl around her waist and lifted her off. She giggled as she was gently placed back on the ground and quickly ran towards me, taking my hand.

"Come on, Shippo-chan! Let's go gather firewood!" she said and started running, dragging me with her.

By the time we got back, carrying the firewood, Shesshoumaru was already there holding 5 fish. We dropped the firewood and Jaken fixed it so that we could cook the fish. Toad thingy also lit the fire.

In a few minutes we had the cooked fish for breakfast.

After eating, Shesshoumaru told us to stay with Jaken while he looked around. I guess he could sense what was coming next. Too bad I didn't.

I wondered what he was doing so I followed him into the forest. I was looking around a bit when a bear youkai appeared out of nowhere and slashed my side. I was bleeding but alive and I guess I'm lucky to be but it still hurt and I cried out in pain.

It was getting ready to attack again and I was sure that I was gunna be it's dinner when, all of a sudden, it fell to the ground. I was so surprised when it did that I just stood still.

I saw Shesshoumaru in front of me, glaring. I saw Rin to my left and tried to smile at her but my lips wouldn't move. Then, I saw it. Right behind Shesshoumaru was a HUGE army of youkai, ready to attack. I pushed Rin towards a tree and, putting a paw over my wound, ran over to where he had started to fight.

"Go away pup. You're hurt," he said, turning to me. Because he was looking at me he didn't see the youkai behind him. Thinking quickly, I used my FoxFire until Shesshoumaru could kill it. I fought beside him, trying to help whenever I could. I heard a loud roar but ignored it, until I noticed that the youkai weren't attacking US anymore.

I saw my Mommy, at least. . . I THINK it was her. . . But she had red eyes and stripes on her cheeks. Scary. . .

I tried to keep standing, but my vision blurred and started to turn black at the edges.

"Mommy!" I whispered and then I blacked out.'

I think that's what happened. Where was I anyway? I sat up and felt the pain shoot up from my side.

OW! That really hurts!

Huh?

Normal.

Shippo rubbed his eyes just to make sure that he wasn't dreaming.

He was in a big soft bed of futon in a HUGE room. It was even bigger that Kaede's hut! There were long white curtains on one side. Maybe there's a balcony out there. . .

Shippo got up and walked to the big door that was to the side. When he stepped out of the room, he wound up in a long hallway. It stretched both ways for a while them both took a turn. Looking first left then right he shrugged his shoulders before going to the right.

'I wonder where this leads. . .Where am I?!'

The hallway split into 2 paths. . .to the left or straight ahead Shippo didn't know. So. . .he did the most logical thing to do. . .Close his eyes and spin around counting to 10. He'd go in whatever direction he was facing when he stopped.

Left one.

After a while. . .

Shippo was hopelessly lost and he stood in front of a big ornate door at the end of a hallway. It was a dead end.

'How do I get out of here?!' he thought and turned around, running and running. He didn't stop, turning left and right in random order. . .until he bumped into something that is. . .
