Enter Shippo...
His little chest quickly rose and fell as he panted urgently for breath. His tiny feet scurried about the path he was on. His big eyes looked around for anyone or thing that might give a clue to where he could find them. There had been a rumor that the jewel had been shattered once more, and Shippo knew what that met. Family reunion! Well in a way. As soon as he heard, he immediately set out to find the group, for he was sure that they were doing the same thing. He couldn't wait to see all of them. He missed them a lot, but sadly, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find them!
'Jeez, they've got to be around this place somewhere!' He thought as he stopped. His poor little body collapsed on the path in exhaustion as he panted. He lay there in a small hump, as if trying to mold into the path. His little legs refused to move. He gave a small sigh. He placed his small arms and pushed himself up. "Come on Shippo. You can do it" He muttered to himself. He'd been looking for a couple days now and hadn't found even one of them. There were many rumors of where they were, but when Shippo went to look, he could never find them. Finally, he resorted back to InuYasha's forest. Maybe they were at Keade's village? Maybe the forest? Who knew.
He wandered off to a small boulder on the side of the dirt road. He scurried up onto it and plopped down on it with a sigh. He began fiddling around in his pockets, searching for something. Finally, he found and pulled out a big red lollipop. He wripped off the wrapper and stuck it in his mouth. He played around with it as he began sorting his thoughts. Where could they be? Where hadn't he searched? He let out another small sigh and began licking his red treat. His eyes were caught by a butterfly. It fluttered around his head, then randomly landed upon his nose.
Shippo sat still for a moment, staring cross eyed at the smallinsect perched on his nose. "Hey there" He said brightly, before shaking his head a little. The butterfly took flight once more and fluttered away, Shippo's eyes following it until it disappeared into the horizon. He return to his lollipop and raised a hand scratching his head thoughtfully. Maybe now would be the best time to take a rest.
