Being Mature Is Not Easy

Chapter 5

Inu- Yasha and the others all sat at a table waiting for Shippo to show up. Soon, one of the demons of this kingdom came up to them. "We thank you for returning our long lost Prince to us.", he said, "He wishes to see you all after dinner.",

"Returning their Prince? But...", Inu started.

"Those of royal blood are marked with a tattoo on their inner leg area. They are all marked at birth so as to not loose them later on.", the demon explained, "Prince Shippo was kidnapped however, and never heard of again.",

"So, Shippo's your Prince?", Miroku asked.

"Yes, but do not worry, he is now safe since he is now truly home.", the demon bowed, and left.

.....

It was now after dinner and the group was led into a room. Sitting on what appeared to be a throne in the center of it was Shippo, stripped of clothing and surrounded by subjects who were also stripped bare. "I am allowing for you to stay one night, then have you lead to the nearest tunnel to where you were heading.", Shippo explained, "But, I must know something first, Miroku. If I am longing to have you love me, then are you wanting the same thing?",

Miroku stood frozen as Shippo looked at him. "Well, are you?", Shippo asked.

"I.... I don't know, Shippo. You may be an adult, and all. However, you are still a child at mind and well... I'm just not really ready for a relationship like that....", Miroku explained.

Shippo looked like that was the answer he'd expected, but he didn't say anything for a while. "Good- bye, then.", Shippo said.

They were roughly dragged back to their rooms for the night, and in the morning when they were being led away from the underground kingdom Miroku wondered if he had done the right thing.
