Shippo's Questions and Nightmare
"Where's Kagome?" said Shippo who walked around the camp waiting for their return. "I hate it when they leave us here while they do stuff," continued Shippo who was talking to Kirara but to busy complaining that he didn't notice she was sleeping. "I'm not little so I should be able to go too! It's not fair at all!"
Shippo walked around more and finally got tired and sat down lost in his own thoughts.
'It's been a while since I lost papa and mama," thought Shippo and he started to cry. 'It's not fair that I lost both my parents!' Shippo wiped his tears away but new ones kept appearing on the poor young fox demon's face. 'I guess I shouldn't cry though, since I have Kagome,' thought Shippo and stopped crying. 'I still miss them though…'
Kirara woke up and watched the fogged path way.
"Hmm?" Shippo got up and watched to see who it was coming out of the fogged path way. "Kagome?"
"Shippo, Kirara, come on were going to Kaede's," said Sango who appeared from the path way.
"Why? Where's Kagome? Is she hurt?" asked Shippo worriedly and started to run in circles out of panic.
"No she is not hurt but Inuyasha is, so that is why we must go to Kaede," said Sango and put her hand on Shippo to make him stop running.
"Oh, okay, but how did he get hurt?" asked Shippo curiously.
"No time to answer that now, c'mon Kirara," said Sango and grabbed Shippo.
Kirara transformed into her bigger version and Sango jumped on with Shippo.
'I'll get my questions answered if my name wasn't Shippo,' thought the young fox-demon.
Kirara, Sango and Kirara arrived to pick up Inuyasha, Miroku and Kagome and went as fast they could to Kaede's. (They wouldn't get there very fast if all of them were riding Kirara)
At Kaede's hut, Inuyasha is being treated while Shippo was asking way too many questions
"Hey Kagome, who hurt Inuyasha so badly," asked Shippo and crawled onto her lap while she was trying to treat Inuyasha.
"It was Kouga," said Kagome in reply and removed Shippo from her lap and started to mix some herbs together.
"How could Kouga do that, he always lost to Inuyasha before?" asked Shippo curiously.
"Inuyasha mad him really mad so he lost it and went out of control. He almost killed me if it wasn't for Inuyasha," said Kagome with reply and blushed a little when she remembered that part.
"Hey Kagome, why are you blushing?" asked Shippo but knew the answer already.
Kagome blushed even more at that question and tried to think of a way so she wouldn't be able to answer that and tell him that she loved Inuyasha.
'I can't answer that! Oh no, what am I going to do?' thought Kagome worriedly.
"How is Inuyasha doing?" said Miroku entering the hut with Kaede.
"Oh, Miroku!" said Kagome happily. 'This is my chance to not answer that question,' thought Kagome.
"Uh, yes?" said the confused monk wondering why she was so excited to see him and also a little worried.
"Can you go find me some more herbs and take Shippo with you, uh, to help you find them," said Kagome picking up Shippo and handing him to Miroku and pushing him out the door.
"Huh, but don't you have enough herbs?" said Miroku stopping in the doorway.
"You can't have too many, now get going!" said Kagome and shoved one more time to get Miroku out the door and get Shippo out of her hair. 'Finally he's gone,' thought Kagome happily while Kaede watched her out of confusion.
Meanwhile with Miroku, Shippo started to ask more questions about the battle and some embarrassing ones too.
"Hey Miroku, how did Kouga get beaten in the battle?" asked Shippo who was walking in front of him backwards.
"Ookami fought him and won," said Miroku.
"How did Ookami win?"
"She bit him where the shikon shards were," said Miroku getting annoyed by the little furry, fox demon.
"Can she see the shikon jewel?"
"I don't know"
"How come?"
"I just don't okay," said Miroku who was resisting to punch the little fur ball. 'He's really getting on my nerves, now I see why Inuyasha doesn't like him!' thought Miroku.
"Hey, Miroku"
"What?" yelled Miroku who snapped from all the questions.
"How come you haven't admitted your love for Sango yet?" asked Shippo who knew that question would stop him dead cold.
Shippo was right, Miroku did stop cold.
'I haven't thought about that,' thought Miroku. 'My hands sealed up now so what am I going to do?'
Miroku just stood there lost in his thoughts and Shippo got tired of waiting for him and just left him there and went back to camp.
Back at camp, Shippo found a new victim to annoy and her name is Sango.
"Hey Sango," said Shippo and watched her polish her boomerang.
"Hello Shippo is there something you want?" asked Sango.
"Yeah, what did Ookami do after she defeated Kouga," asked Shippo innocently.
"She gave the shikon shards she got from Kouga and gave it to Kagome," said Sango and stopped polishing her boomerang.
"What happened to Kouga?"
"He was knocked out and Ookami watched him in case he woke up," said Sango getting a little annoyed.
"What happened to him after that?"
"Kouga's men, Ginta and Hakkaku, came and got him and took him back to their den," said Sango getting more annoyed.
"Why didn't they fight you?"
"I don't know," said Sango losing it.
"How do you know all this?"
"Because Kagome told me when we got back," said Sango really losing it.
"Hey, Sango can I ask you something?"
"What?" said Sango gritting her teeth.
"You promise you'll tell me the truth?" asked Shippo.
"Yes, I promise," said Sango.
"You swear you'll tell the truth and you will tell me the answer no matter what?" said Shippo smiling.
"Just tell me the question," said Sango almost burst out yelling from the annoying questions.
"Do you love Miroku?" asked Shippo and tried not to laugh from the expression Sango made. "Remember you have to tell me the truth"
"I-I…" Sango couldn't admit so she tried to get rid of Shippo. 'I can't tell him that, he'll probably blab to Miroku or Inuyasha,' thought Sango.
Sango spotted some candy and grabbed it without Shippo noticing.
"Hey Shippo," said Sango. "Do you want this piece of candy, I don't want it,"
"Sure," said Shippo cheerfully but knew it was a way to get out of answering his question but he didn't care, he got some candy in return.
'Oh thank you sama,' thought Sango sighing from relief.
Shippo left and sat down by Kirara who was napping.
'I guess all my answers are answered and also I got to embarrass everyone,' thought Shippo sucking on his candy. 'I wonder when Inuyasha will get better,' thought Shippo and lay down.
Ookami came and lay down right next to Shippo and watched him.
"Hey Ookami," said Shippo and petted Ookami on the head. "Is it really true that you beat Kouga?"
Ookami nodded her head yes.
"That's pretty cool. Hey Ookami can you see the jewel shards," asked Shippo curiously.
Ookami just lay there and yawned not saying yes or no. (I know and you don't, nah!)
"Not gonna answer me, fine be that way," said Shippo and walked back to Kaede's hut so Kagome will tuck him into sleep. (Okay I don't know how to put this but I tried to say that Shippo wanted to go to bed and Kagome slept with him so he can sleep peacefully)
"Kagome can you tuck me in," asked Shippo kindly as he entered.
"I'm sorry Shippo I can't, Inuyasha's wounds have gotten worse and I need to tend them," said Kagome mixing more herbs with a worried and tired face. "You can sleep without me for one night, can't you?"
Shippo nodded his head but unsure if he could. There was never one night he didn't sleep without Kagome but now he was worried his nightmare will return. Before he met Kagome and the others every night he a horrible nightmare of his parents being killed before him over and over again. He always awoke crying and always feared that to go back to sleep and see it again and again.
'I guess I'm alone tonight. I hope that nightmare won't come, it probably won't it's been so long since I had it,' thought Shippo but unsure.
Shippo fell asleep but the nightmare that plagued his dreams long ago returned to him in his slumber.
In Shippo's dream.
"Mother, Father, look a butterfly," said a little fox demon playing with a butterfly.
"Yes Shippo, we see the butterfly," said a red headed female fox demon wearing a red kimono. She smiled at her little fox demon son and smiled back at her mate.
"Son, look what I found," said a red headed male fox demon that looked like the little fox demon but a lot more muscular. He held out a shiny shard to his son.
"What is it?" asked Shippo looking at the shard with curiosity.
"It's a piece of the Shikon Jewel but it seems it has been shattered," said Shippo's father. "People say this is supposed to make you stronger and when the Shikon Jewel is all together you get one wish," said his father and gave it to him. "Can you keep it safe for me," he said smiling and ruffled his son's hair.
"Sure!" said the excited fox demon pup and started to chase the butterfly again but made sure he didn't drop the jewel shard his father gave him.
Shippo chased the butterfly but stopped when a dark cloud was coming closer. As Shippo gazed at the cloud he saw to figures in it.
"Father, Mother, wha-whats that?" said Shippo and ran back to his parents.
"Shippo run away," said his father with a serous look on his face.
"What's going on?" said Shippo confused.
"Shippo go back home," said his mother and shoved him along and turned back to the cloud which was coming closer to them.
"B-but"
"Shippo just go!" yelled his father.
Shippo did what he was told and ran but looked back to see both his parents transformed into their fox demon forms and also saw the creatures from the dark cloud. One looked human but he was able to control lightning and the other he knew right away was a demon by its reptile look. The young fox demon watched the battle behind a rock a few feet away from the battlefield. His mother was fighting the human one while his fought the reptile like one. As Shippo watched he thought for a minute that his parents were winning until he saw his mother fall to the ground, dead.
"Mother!" cried Shippo who wanted to go to her but to frighten to do so.
"You bastards!" yelled his father as he saw his mate fell and his yokai became enraged. "I swear I'll kill you!"
Shippo watched as his father fought both of them and was putting up a good fight until he slashed the hair on the reptile one.
"AGGHHH! My hair, my beautiful hair!" yelled the reptile one and was powering up for a mega blast. "I'm gonna kill you!"
"I'll hold him brother," said the human one and grabbed Shippo's father so he wouldn't escape the blast.
'Oh no, papa needs me!' thought Shippo and tried to run but couldn't. 'What I can't go anywhere I'm stuck! I can't do anything b-but watch1"
Shippo started to cry when that thought came to him and watched as he saw his father die at the grasps of the demons. He saw his father dead on the ground next to his mother in a huge crater from the blast. He wanted to go near them but he couldn't. He saw the reptile demon go near his father and grabbed him and some shards. Shippo then noticed that he lost the shard his father gave him and now it was in the creature's hand.
"Look brother some jewel shards," said the reptile demon and handed it to the human looking one the shards. "It also looks like I have myself a new fur coat too!"
They both started to laugh and took the shards with them and his father's corpse.
Shippo just laid there crying and could do nothing as he saw them disappear and the images kept appearing in his head again and again.
Out of Shippo's dream.
"Mother, father, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you," said Shippo sleeping talking but was also crying in his sleep.
Ookami woke up and saw the poor kitsune crying and started to walk towards him.
Flash!
A white fox demon (fox form) lay down around the kitsune and the kitsune went into a peaceful slumber.
