Ch. 4- At the Candy Shop

Shippo is walking down a street with a poorly drawn map in his hand. He comes to an intersection and stops, looking around frantically for something familiar. But of course, nothing was. "Oh no, don't tell me I'm lost again..."

The adorable fox demon had previously been waiting in the Feudal Era for Kagome and Inuyasha to return from Kagome's time when Shippo became reeeally bored and depressed. Inuyasha wasn't around to make fun of, sothere was really nothing for him to do. So he decided to go look for them. Again, don't ask me how he was able to get through the well. He just was for the sake of my fanfic.

When he previously emerged from the well, Sota was playing nearby.

"Hey, a kitty!" Sota exclaimed when he saw Shippo. "Come here, kitty! Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!"

"I'm NOT a KITTY!"

"Ooooo, a talking kitty."

"Oh, nevermind. Hey, d'you know where Inuyasha is?"

"No...," replied Sota, wondering why this talking kitty was questioning him, and decided what the heck, he would help this kitty in need. "Well, Kagome is at school, and often he stalks here..."

"Okay, so where is her school? ... Hey shouldn't you be at school, too?"

"Nope, today I'm playing hookey!"

Shippo sweatdrops, and thinks... (He says it so calmly...)

Sota all-of-a-sudden bolts inside, and comes back out with a slip of paper in his hand. "Here's a map to her school. Just take a right, a left, the second left, a right, and it's on the left! You can't miss it! Okay maybe you can but that isn't the point!"

Anyways, back to the intersection...

"Oh, where do I go now?" the direction un-coordinated fox wondered. Arg, this thing makes no sense!" He throws down the map in fury, and it lands in a drainage ditch.

A little kid walking on the other side of the street points at Shippo. "Mama, what's dat?"

"Don't touch it Billy, it probably has rabies." His mother drags the kid away.

Shippo sighs. "I'm so unloved... I should probably ask for directions somewhere." Shippo enters the nearest shop, which just happens to be American Candy Factory. (pardon the lame name!)

As he steps into the sugary heaven-on-earth, he stopped, staring at all the sweets packed wall-to-wall on the shelves.

It was then that all hell broke loose.

Shippo was instantly all over the shelves, digging through boxes of candy and eating it. Wrappers were flying. The store was soon filled with litter of wrappers, empty boxes, and any candy he didn't like. When a cashier tried to stop him, he scared off the poor guy with his top.

Ten minutes later, the manager, who was an old short guy previously napping in the back was awakened by the commotion and came in to his unrecognizable shop to catch Shippo in the middle of demolishing the cookies. "Why, you rascal! Get out of here! SCOOT!" the geezer said, snatching away the cookie Shippo was about to bite into.

Droplets formed at the corners of Shippo's eyes, soon followed by streams of tears. "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! He took my cookie! Waaaaaaaaaaaahhh!"

"Aw, fine, here's youir stupid cookie! JUST GET OUT OF MY SHOP!" he says as he throws Shippo out.

When outside Shippo remembers why he was there in the first place, but knows it is useless to ask the crazy manager.

Then, as if nothing could be worse, Shippo gets a major sugar high. And it starts the rain.

"Wheeeeeee!"

Shippo goes wild. Suddenly, he's everywhere, from jumping on top of passing cars to scurrying up lampostsjust to parachute off them again.

Finally, he stops of top of a car with an antennae and starts using it as a microphone, and sings, "I'm Singing in the Rain."

"I'm siiiiiingin in the raaaaaain,- I'm siiiiiiiingin in the raaain! What a woooooooonderful feeeeeeeling, I'm siiiiiin-

"Hey, shut it up there!" The driver swerves and Shippo falls into the ditch. Fortunately, the ditch was right in front of Kagome's house as she was just arriving home.

"Someone... help...me...cough

"Kagome sees Shippo lying in the ditch. "Omg, Shippo! Are you alright!"

"Mommy? Mommy, is that you?" Shippo asks weakly.

"Oh Shippo, you're soaked! I need to get you inside!" Kagome says as she picked him up.

Cradled in her arms, Shippo fell fast asleep.

About an hour later, Shippo wakes up to see Inuyasha, Kagome, and Sota staring at him.

"He's awake! Shippo!" Kagome says, hugging him.

Sota jumps in. "Kitty! Yay, kitty's awake! Let's play with the kitty!"

"Sota, go play with Buyo," Kagome commandingly tells her little brother.

Despite the liveliness of everyone else, Shippo was still half-asleep. "Mommy-?"

Kagome sighs. "He still thinks I'm his mother or something. Oh well, he's so cute when he's sleeping! Like a little kid! But nothing like Sota. Sota snores too loud. "

Suddenly, Inuyasha decides to stir things up a bit. He previously watched "Star Wars Episode V"(which I also do not own) with Sota (Yes, he was there the entire time. He told Sota to lie if anyone asked for him.). If he thinks Kagome is his mother, he thinks, then what if...

Inuyasha approaches Shippo. "Who are you?" Shippo asks.

Inuyasha takes a deep breath and claps Shippo on the shoulder. "Shippo, I am your father." (you knew it was coming.)

Shippo partly snapped into reality. "Hey, no you aren't! My dad died!" he cries.

"Look into your heart, you know it to be true."

Shippo regains full wits. "Inuyasha, ehat are you saying? What's wrong with you?"

Inuyasha grunts. " Ah shut it. You were freakin me out for a while, and I was kidding. Geez, can't you take a joke?" he sneered.

"Aw Inuyasha, you were worried about me, weren't you?"

"Shut up!" Inuyasha punches Shippo.

"inuyasha!" exclaimes Kagome. "Sit boy!"

CRASH!
