Shippo's quest

Ch.1 growing up

One morning Shippo woke up in Kaede's village to find his fox feet freezing,

"That's odd, I'm sleeping under the new blanket Sango made to practice her knitting Miroku." It was too small for a human but should have been just right for a little fox demon like him. Looking down he saw that his entire body had grown from a tiny fox kit, to a young man of about sixteen but he still had his fox feet, tail, and pointed ears, but now he had the lean muscle that came from fighting (or more often running from) monsters. "This should be fun for a trick on inuyasha" thought Shippo "but afterwards I should ask Kaede about this" Shippo got dressed and noticed that his clothes had grown too. "This is just getting stranger and stranger

Meanwhile in Naraku's old abandoned castle a deep chuckling was heard, now with the idiot lover boy Naraku out of the way I can begin my journey for true power and that idiot Inuyasha will be unable to leave that village thanks to that whore Kagome being with child and Miroku without his wind tunnel to protect them with.

Tracking down Inuyasha was no problem all Shippo had to do was follow the command SIT! And the scream of pain that followed whenever he did something wrong. Coming to the edge of the clearing Shippo saw that the reason for the latest of the many sit's was because of the new house, seeing how the would soon be living in the village they couldn't just keep borrowing kaede's house. Kagome wanted a house built to the standards of her old world, meaning a lot more work for Inuyasha who didn't know how these things Kagome were telling him to make were supposed to work causing the house to fall down many times.

"He sure could use a good run to let of some steam."

Shippo pulled himself up to his full newly found height and walked into the glade, clearing his throat in a professional sounding way.

Oh, hey Shippo" Called Inuyasha "congratulations."

Kagome was not so calm letting out a piercing scream causing Miroku, Songo, and Kaede to come running.

"What happened?" was the question on everyone's lips. Surprisingly it was Inuyasha who had the answer.

"He grew up"

"But people don't just grow 9 years overnight" exclaimed Kagome

"While that may be true about humans for demons it's a different story altogether" looking around for the voice they found Mioga the flea on Kagome's neck drinking her blood.

"Slap!"

"Why must the tasty ones always have impeccable aim?"

Once Mioga the flea rounded himself out Miroku asked if he could please explain further.

"Well, demons do not grow in power the way humans do, through practice slowly getting better, they gain it in leaps and bounds, all at once by things like defeating a strong demon like the Tetusaiga does, stealing human life-force like the human faced fruit tree does, or sometimes just by ageing which I believe is the case here. Shippo has simply grown in power."

"Oh" exclaimed Kagome clapping her hands together "it's just like my brothers game, you gain experience points and then level up and even evolve"

This statement was met by blank stares all around.

"Well Shippo we should try some demon strength exercises to test out you're new power."

"What you mean I'm not just bigger?"

"Of course you're stronger you don't just get a few extra inches, and I've heard that newly grown demons blood is especially delicious."

"Ok Shippo let's try using you're Fox fire" instructed the old demon

"Ok then, Fox Fire" but instead of the usual small blue ball of flame a large flamethrower came out instead frying Inuyasha who was standing to close.

"Why that miserable runt I'll kill him!" running in for a punch before Kagome could give the sit command, but Shippo's new form was full of surprises, instead of getting smashed on the head Shippo crosses his arms over his head blocking the attack cold.

"Wha...?" exclaimed the half demon "how did you…"

Mioga crosses his four arms and noded "as I expected, your new form gives you the skills to equal lord Inuyasha, when he's not being too serious. If you continue to work hard you may even surpass him when he's not using Tetusaiga.

"What are you saying, I'm might lose, to Shippo!?" growled an angry half dog demon

"Well he is a full-fledged demon, and something tells me he's no ordinary fox demon. Let's leave the lessons here for now, I want to try some of that delicious new blood.
