I apologize for going MIA. School stole my lifeless life and ran off with it. You see, I was told by my advisers this semester that I have a chance to graduate in the spring but the only way I was to do that was if I took a full load of classes. Gotta take a full load of classes next semester so I might disappear again but it'll all be worth it in the end. Well the semester is over for me officially starting today so I can try to find my lost creativity.
For this story, I'm thinking about asking for you, my lovely readers, to give me prompts or themes (the chapter will be dedicated to joo if I choose joo). I feel truly inspired when I have someone to toss ideas with and I'm hoping that will jump start me into finishing some of my other stories and coming up with new ones.
One more thing, sorry for this very short chapter but I did say that the chapters for this story would remain short. I know, not this short but I am trying. Hopefully they'll get a little longer as the story goes but we'll all have to wait and see.
Ch. 2 The Professional Child Care Taker
Shippo didn't think he would like this man. His mother didn't seem to like him but if so, why did she allowed him to stay. The young boy shrank just a bit as the man's calculating stare settled on him, no, he didn't like this man one bit. Trying to think on the bright side, he decided to give him a chance, after all, his mother did let the man stay. Maybe he if he got to know the man, being with him wouldn't be so bad. The least he could do is try to get along with him if he is to take care of him. Right?
"So... you're my nanny?" Shippo asked eying the man up and down. The adult still stood in the same spot, unmoving.
"I would prefer to be called a professional child care taker." He replied, his voice as expressionless as his face.
Shippo had a bad feeling about this, maybe it was best if he avoided the tall man all together. A few hours of playing video games would do the trick. The young boy took one step back slowly and hesitated as the strange man's eyes narrowed. He then took another step then turned slightly.
"Well, guess I'll go back to my room now..."
"And rot your mind playing video games I presume? You will be doing no such thing. I have other activities in mind a young boy like you should be engaged in." Sesshomaru's voice rumbled.
Shippo really was sure now that he wasn't going to like having this "professional child care taker" around.
