Accidental

Four: Sota's plan.

We'll skip the rest of the evening and move straight to the next morning.

Grampa, Mrs. Higurashi, Sota, and Shippo sat around the table.

None of them were eating.

"I should go back." Shippo said finally.

"Sota, accompany him." Mrs. Higurashi said.

Sota nodded and brought Shippo to the Shrin.

"I'm sorry you can't come to the funeral." Shippo said.

Sota nodded, and Shippo prepared to jump into the well.

"Hey, fox-dude?" Sota asked suddenly.

Shippo turned.

"How long are you gonna live?"

"My lifespan is pretty long." Shippo said, shrugging.

"Five hundred years?"

Shippo blinked in confusion. Then, as grin split his face.

"Yeah." he said. "Five hundred years."

Anyone who can tell me what Shippo and Sota have thought of, tell me in a review. If you get it right I'll give you cookies!
