Chapter Two: Shot People Unite! Pt.2
A/n: YAY! I have updated! Thanks, Julie for reviewing! And now we can move on to Short People Unit! Part 2. I hope everyone enjoys it!
Need to know…Example: blah… means that someone is talking. Example: (this and that) mean actions. Anything besides that would be either me talking or me giving stage direction or me narrating or something like that. Get it? Got it. Good!
Disclaimer: No, I don't own Inuyasha or any part of the Inuyasha story that you watch on TV. So all of you lawmen back the hell off of me!

(The Story Continues…)
Jaken: The Soul Piper?
Rin: What is a Soul Piper?
Soutin: I've heard tales of the Soul Piper…
(Q sad and mysterious music that is usually used for a Kikyo entrance)
Soutin: They say that the Soul Piper is a horrible demon, a terrible demon even. They say that it only appears in the light of the moon, and devours the souls of children!
Dragon: WHAT? I'm too young to die!
Shippo: That's not what Kagome told me!
(?): Indeed, you are correct. That is far from the truth of the Soul Piper. It is actually more of a guide for dead children; a friend until the souls can find their place of rest.
Jaken: Hey! Who said that?
(?): Down here, on Shippo's shoulder!
Everyone gathers around Shippo and looks at his shoulder.
Rin: Wow, a talking flea.
Shippo: Oh hey Myoga. When did you get here?
Myoga: Actually, I was sleeping in your head when I was awoken by all the chatter.
Shippo: What? I have fleas in my hair? (Starts scratching his head irritably as white flakes fly everywhere.)
Rin: Jaken used to have that problem.
All except Rin: Jaken used to have hair?
Jaken: Ah, I remember those wonderful days. (Starts remembering his youthful days with his wonderful blonde hair.)
Wait a second! You were blond?
Jaken: Actually, most considered it to be a dirty blond. But blond none the less.
Soutin: Yeah right! There's no way that a toad could have blond hair!
Jaken: I did too! Now watch your mouth you insolent whelp!
Soutin: Why should I?
Dragon: Yeah, why should she?
Shippo and Rin: (to the dragon) Oh shut up!
Dragon: (sob)
Jaken: Because I'm older than you!
Soutin: But I'm BIGGER than you! (Towers over Jaken with lightning charged in her hands.)
Jaken: (Keeps quiet but starts to grumble angrily.)
Myoga: Excuse me, but I'm still here.
Shippo: Very nice. But we still need to find the Soul Piper. So c'mon everyone!
So with shaky legs and hearts full of fear-
Shippo: What do you mean fear? I'm not afraid!
Soutin: Yeah! I'm not either!
Rin: Rin is scared! I don't what the Soul Piper to eat my soul! (Hides behind Shippo.)
Soutin: (Confused look)
(Sigh) Well, with most having shaky legs and some with hearts full of fear, the group continues on into the dark Forest of Souls.
Shippo and Soutin: That's better.
Whatever. Anyway, they continue on for a while with no luck. Some of the group starts to become tired.
Dragon: Can we please stop for a rest, I'm getting tired.
Soutin: Quit complaining. At least you don't have to walk on your feet.
Dragon: That's because I don't have feet.
Yep, he's got you there.
Jaken: Why are we even looking for the accursed thing?
Shippo: Because he's the only way we can get to Myu.
Rin and Soutin: Who's Myu?
(With a raised eyebrow) Do I detect a bit of jealousy?
Soutin: You're out of your mind. Why would you even think that?
I don't know…maybe because your face is turning red!
Soutin: What?
Rin: Wow! It's as red as a tomato. Is your face swollen in pain?
Jaken: You look pretty pathetic.
Shippo: Arrrgh! WILL YOU FORGET THAT FOR NOW? WE HAVE IMPORTANT BUSINESS TO TAKE CARE OF!
Myoga: Please Shippo, must you shout?
Shippo: Well if we're going to be working together, then we have to get along.
Dragon: Hey, you never really told us what we're doing.
Shippo: (Grins evilly) Don't worry. You'll see when my master plan unfolds.
Everyone nods and keeps walking.
…
And they keep walking.
…
And they keep walking.
…
And they keep-
Jaken: OKAY! THAT'S ENOUGH!
Rin: (From behind Shippo) What's the matter, Jaken? You've become most melancholy.
Jaken: I'm tired of all this walking! That's what's wrong with me!
Shippo: Well, I guess we could rest for a while.
Dragon: Great! I'll get a fire started.
Shippo: I'll get some firewood so it'll keep going all night.
Rin: Rin will assist Shippo with the firewood!
Soutin: No, I will help Shippo. You can go get us some food.
Rin: But I want to help Shippo!
Myoga: Um, did anyone consider me?
All: Oh shut up!
Shippo: Look! Dragon, you can start a fire after Rin and me get some firewood.
Soutin: Ah man!
Shippo: It's only cause she's scared.
Soutin: Oh, well it's not like you're Mr. Brave yourself! Your legs have been shaking ever since we came into the Forest of Souls.
Shippo: I'm not afraid!
Soutin: Are too!
Shippo: Am not!
Soutin: Are too!
Shippo: Am not!
Soutin: Are too!
Shippo: Am not!
Children these days! (Sigh) Anyway, exactly twenty four hours later…
Soutin: Fine, whatever, just forget it!
Shippo: Good! Anyway, Soutin, you and Jaken can go get some food. Myoga…you can…um…stay on my shoulder! So is everyone clear?
All: Yes Shippo!
Shippo: Good! Now let's get to it!
So everyone goes on about his or her duties.
Rin: So Shippo, what does the Soul Piper look like?
Shippo: (Picks up a few sticks.) Well, from what Kagome told me, the Soul Piper has a big yellow head and really small arms and hands and is always playing with its flute thingy. And most of the time, its eyes are nearly completely closed until it starts to get mad. When he gets really made, his eyes open up wide and you can see his big black eyes.
Rin: (Thinking while picking up a stick.) Hey! Maybe if we whistle and run back to the camp, the Soul Piper will hear us and follow us back!
Shippo: Well, I don't see how that could help at all, but I guess it's worth a try.
Then both of them took to running on all fours. They whistle madly until Shippo runs into a tree right behind their camp.
Shippo: Ouch! HEY! Why'd you do that?
Cause I was getting tired of listening to you and Rin gabble like a happy couple.
Rin: What is gabble?
Don't worry about it.
Dragon: Hey! You're back! Now we can feed the fire!
Soutin: (Entering the campsite with Jaken) We brought food!
Shippo: Great! Now it's chow time!
All: It's what time?
Shippo: It's something that Kagome says all the time.
(Q Soul Piper music.)
Rin: What is that?
Not NOW you idiot!
Props Guy: Sorry. (Turns off music.)
Yeah, sorry. Don't worry about that.
All: (Shrugs.)
The group then has themselves a supper of fruit and berries and bug juice for Myoga.
Myoga: I drink blood! Not bug juice!
Fine, whatever. Go find yourself a dear or something and suck away.
Myoga: Oh, well I'll be right on my way! (Hops off of Shippo's shoulder and scampers off.)
Jaken: Wow, this is really good! What is this?
Soutin: Um, that's the bug juice Jaken.
Jaken: WHAT? (Starts spitting it up.)
All: (Slaps hand on forehead.) Good grief!
Finally, after eating, the group finally fell asleep. Rin clung to Shippo's tail, thinking that it was Sesshomaru's fluff in her sleep.
Me: (In a whisper) Okay, now.
Props Guy: Now?
YES! NOW! (Sigh) The things I have to put up with.
(Q Soul Piper music.)
Hearing the soft music, Shippo stirred in his sleep until he awoke.
Shippo: (Opening his eyes slowly.) Huh, who's playing that?
Shippo's eyes open as he sees a large yellow demon floating above him.
Shippo: Whoa! Who is…wait! You're the Soul Piper, aren't you?
(End Chapter)
A/n: And here's the chapter's end. Part three of Short People Unite will come up A.S.A.P. So if y'all are patient, then it'll be here in no time…I hope…but anyway. Once again, I'd like to thank all that have reviewed thus far (which as of now, is just one person) for reviewing. So, to all the readers out there, please review and tell me what you thought of it and if there is anything I could do to improve the story!
Okay then! Later Days!
