Shippo sat there on the hill concentrating hard on the matter at hand. How was he going to tell her? She had always been there for him and took care of him ever since the day they had met. Should I get flowers? Or just go up and ask? I want this to happen. I love her like a mother. He sighed. He remembered from before that she said she wouldn’t be back until sunset. Sadly for him, it was still morning.
He should his head violently. I will not let anger get the better of me. She just goes back for supplies and to see her family. Shippo decided that he should get up from his spot on the hill. He would go and ask the others for help but they were all busy.
He started a slow walk over to the well and wait out the day for her. It took a while, but he finally made it to the well. Shippo hadn’t realized it but, it was already late morning. The afternoon was still a few more hours away. He jumped to the brim of the well and sat there, staring down into it. Just a few more hours. She will come back. She always does. He jumped back down to the grass. Shippo yawned and took in that he was tired.
He lay there with his head propped up against the base of the well and his little tail used as a cushion. He slowly felt himself lose consciousness. A demon hidden in the trees smiled hungrily. That little kitsune would make a perfect meal. The bat demon flew out of the tree and landed a couple of feet away from the sleeping Shippo. He walked closer slowly not to wake him. The demon was at an arms reach away when he felt a magic aura.
He looked over at the well and then at the stirring kitsune. I can not be seen. He flew off into the trees again and watched over the well. Shippo awoke hearing a female voice below him. She’s back early? Hmm... He jumped onto the well and looked down to see the woman he wanted to talk to.
She looked up at him with sweet innocent caring eyes. He looked at her and smiled as well.
He sat in her lap while she rubbed his ears. What Shippo didn’t know is that she was also having a troubling question on her mind. They both took in a breath and started to talk.
Staring, they spoke again.
She yet again smiled at him. Does she want to ask the same question? Maybe she is!Yet again they were about to speak when the same bat demon that wanted to eat Shippo jumped out of the tree.
Shippo looked frightened and looked over at the older girl.
She set him down and reached into her bag and pulled out a bow and a quiver full of arrows. (how she fits all that stuff in her bag is WAY beyond me. @_@)She took aim at the demon that was approaching her.
She pulled the arrow back slowly and gracefully, aimed at its heart. He just laughed.
With that said, she pulled back a tad more and released. With the purifying arrow headed towards the bat demon with immense speed, he couldn’t get away. It screeched loudly and dissipated. She lowered her weapon.
Shippo came out from his spot behind the well and walked over to her.
He stared at her. She just- She wants- Yeah!!! Shippo jumped into her arms and snuggled into her chest.
Kagome picked up her bag and help her new pup on her shoulder, walking back to the village. I finally have a son/mother.
“Kuso, for once, I agree with the mutt. She really shouldn’t go back that much.”
“Inuyasha probably went off to Kikyo. Miroku went to Onigumo’s cave with Kaede. Plus, Sango left to visit her village. I’m all alone.”
“A little nap will pass some time.”
“Geez! Mom sure can make this bag really heavy.”
"Hey there little guy!"
"Why are you back so early? I thought you said that you wouldn’t be back until sunset."
"Ano...I couldn’t stay away from you for so long. I've been away for at least 5 days and I know that you missed me."
"Hey can I ask you something?" They said in unison.
"You first."
"This is silly."
"Human, you shall feast me well also with the kitsune."
"What are we going to do? Inuyasha isn’t here!"
"Don’t worry. I still have my bow and arrows with me."
"Weak human! Do you actually think that measly arrow can hurt me?"
"You dare mock the miko of the shikon jewel?"
"A miko! With the shikon none the less. You shall indeed make a fitful meal."
"You will not touch a hair on myself or my kit!"
"Shippo, its save now."
"Did you mean what you said? Are you really calling me your kit?"
"Of course I did. You see, while in my time, I thought for a while. I mean, we've known each other for at least 3 three years and I’m 18 now. I asked my mom if I should adopt you as my son and she thought it was a great idea. I love you Shippo. Will you let me be your mother?"
"That’s what I wanted to ask you. I thought you wouldn’t want me as your pup. That you might not like me that way."
"Of course I do Shippo? Why wouldn’t I?"
