Chapter Four: Meet Shippo

The gang had finally made it to the next village. Kagome decided to spilt the group into pairs so that they could each look in different parts of town. Kagome went with Inuyasha,Sango went with Miroku,and Ami went with Yumi,of course. Later,Ami and Yumi were just about to give up on finding any clues when Ami noticed something. It was a wanted poster.

''Yumi,look! Those girls on the wanted poster...those must be the girls Sango was talking about!''

Yumi looked at it,but before she could say anything,someone yelled.

''The girls! There they are! The girls on the wanted poster!''

Not again... Yumi thought.

''Let's get out of here!'' She grabbed Ami by the hand and they both ran away.


''Did we lose them?'' Yumi asked.

''I think so.'' Ami told her. They were on the outskirts of the town at the edge of a forest. They were just about to head back to the entrance to thetown (where Kagome said the gang would meet up at) when...

''Hey! Have you seen my friends anywhere?''

Ami and Yumi looked. It was a cute little fox demon.

''Awwwww,he's ADORABLE!'' Ami said,picking him up and cuddling him.

''YOU'RE SMOTHERING ME!'' The fox demon shouted.

''Where did you last see your friends,little guy?'' Yumi asked him.

''We were all here together eairler today,but I decided to go off on my own. They must have left without me,cause I can't find them anywhere.''

''We'll help you out. What's your name?''

''My name is Shippo.''

''Who are your friends?''

''Inuyasha,Kagome,Sango and Miroku.''

''Oh yeah! We know them! They're trying to help us get back home!''

''Are you lost?''

''Sort of. We came from the future like Kagome.''

The three of them headed off toward the village entrance.


''Shippo,do you know anything about Nami and Kanabei?''

''The girls on the wanted posters?''

''Yeah.''

''I do. They are the helpers of the dark priest Seth.''

''Do you know anything about Seth?''

''The only thing I know about him is that he's teamed up with Naraku.''

''Who's Naraku?''

''Our arch foe.''


''There you are!'' Kagome shouted. ''Oh,and you found Shippo!''

''Did you find any clues?'' Ami asked.

''Yes. There are wanted posters of Nami and Kanabei all over town. What did you find?''

''Same thing.''

''So,what do we do now?'' Inuyasha asked.

''It's getting a bit late. We should find an inn to stay for the night. Then we can keep looking tomorrow.'' Kagome told him.

''Good idea.'' Said Ami.
