_++++++++++++=--------------------------==========--=======_

 

Shippo surveyed his surroundings. He checked his body for injuries. The only thing out of place on him was he didn't have clothes on. Musta burnt up in the decent. He walked forward and saw several large structures. He remembered that kagome mentioned something about “skyscrapers” and he only assumed these were them. He continued to walk forward and he saw a group of people running up in his general direction. “I saw it land here” one said. Shippo hid in the trees quickly as they drew close to him. They went directly beneath him towards the crash site. “Holy crap! Look at the size of this crater.” One of them said “there's no meteorite, that's strange”

 

One of them who were in the rear started walking away muttering “who gives a shit” the others didn't notice him. Shippo followed him quietly. As soon as he was out of ear shot of the others he jumped down behind him. He turned around and saw a hand in his face. Shippo grabbed him by the face and lifted him up until he was 2 feet off the ground.

 

Shippo used his demonic power and entered the man's mind and extracted any thing and every thing of use from his mind. Every thing form slang and district names to basic history and tomorrow's forecast, witch was sunny by the way. Once he was done he broke a branch and made it seem like it fell and hit him on the head. He ran away until he found a cave. He entered it and made and used his demonic powers to create clothes around him. He used what he learned from the man as a guide. When he finished he had a black sleeveless shirt, fingerless gloves, blue jeans, and tennis shoes. His hair was parted so his forehead showed and he had a pony tail in back.

 

Shippo, appeased with his work found a corner and slept. That night he didn't dream instead he just thought about what happened at the fight between him and kagome and about how katsuki died. The sun soon drew him out of his thoughts. He opened his eyes to the morning glare. He stepped out of the cave. He traversed down the mountain. He saw several cars drive up towards the crash site. Many were news crews others were just plain old cars. He decided to stay out of site and ran to the city. He measured 5 kilometers and he finished it in 4 minutes. He entered pedestrian traffic.

 

He explored the city. Walked down many streets, seeing the sights, glancing at the stores, and seeing average people live out their lives. He was walking down the middle of the street and he heard a muffled rumble…

 

It was his stomach. Huh, better go find something to eat. He went from restaurant to restaurant and not a one of them would let him eat there. Reason why? He had no money. Crap, no money, no food and no place to stay, well I've been in worse. Walked across an alley and some guy walked up behind him and grabbed him and stuck a combat knife to his jugular vein (the one in the neck). “All right”, said the man, “you know the drill, cough up the money” great now I'm getting mugged. Shippo sighed. He stepped on the man's toe and pushed him off of him. The man held up the knife ready for a brawl. Shippo merely walked up to him and punched the man in the stomach, knocking him out. Shippo searched the man and took the money from his wallet. He also picked up the knife and twilled it around his fingers. The man started to wake up. Shippo saw and said “yah know you really shouldn't steel from some one you can't beat.” Shippo started to walk away. He stopped and said “by the way nice knife I think ill take it” he pocketed the knife. The man looked at where shippo was and fell unconscious again.

 

He bought something to eat with the money he “found” and headed back to the cave. It was almost night and most of the people in town were at home. He was at a cross roads and the sound of a large amount of people from two directions. He jumped up on a small nearby building. Form the north of the street came what looked like an angry mob, and most of witch were wearing red. From the south came another mob witch were wearing white. They stopped about 60 feet from each other. They stood in a stareoff, for about 2 minutes then almost in unison they started yelling, taunting, and shouting threats.

 

Suddenly a loud crack silenced them all. Four guys, whom each seemed to be the mobs leaders and their bodyguards walked forward. Shippo, using heightened hearing powers, heard the two speak to each other. “Is the area secure?” one said. “Everything within a 10 mile radius of us except a few stray cats our out of here”. A guy in green clothes came forward. “Ok, let's make this skirmish as clean as possible.” The two mob bosses then held up their hands.

 

Their hands began to transform. They're demons! The two shook hands. The green guy backed up and saw shippo on the opposite street. “Hey who's that?” the two bosses looked over at shippo. Shippo was in mid step when they said “hey who the hell are you”. Shippo shifted his weight and turned at the demon bosses “oh, just a guy passing through.” “Why are you here? Nobody comes here but us” said one of them. Shippo responded “obviously somebody other than you comes here because I'm here, as for why I'm here is because I saw what looks like is a fight in the making and well I just wanted to play peace maker.” One mob boss said to the other “you made a mistake with your search, and now we have a witness” the other said “well will just have to fix this mistake.” He gestured to his body guard and he stepped toward shippo. “Don't you know any thing? You shouldn't go any where no one else has gone. It gets you killed.” He pulled out a piece of pipe.

 

Shippo smirked “call your guy off, I just don't want any one hurt.” The bosses laughed “you don't have to worry about us killing each other” shippo hardened his expression “not what you do to yourselves, its what ill do to you if you don't call this guy off” “ooooooooooooo” the crowd went. The boss raised his hand “kill this shit head.” The body guard raised his pipe and ran towards him. Shippo looked at every one and saw that all were demons. Good, this will be fun. The man swung the pipe at shippo. He caught the pipe with one hand. He wrenched the pipe from his hand and rammed it through the guy's eye. Every one gasped with surprise. The bosses growled and simultaneously said “every one kill this bitch.” Both mobs ran screaming at shippo. He pulled out the knife and infused it with energy. It transformed into a humongous Tetsusaiga sized sword. He leapt into the air over the large mass of demons. “Fox Fire” the blue flames swirled around his new sword. Shippo swung it and a drill like blaze shot from it incinerating near the entire group. He killed them all but not all of them turned to ash in that attack.

 

He landed right behind the mob bosses. The one in white quivered in fear “what do you want” “I want…” he paused. “I want for you're to answer some questions for me,”
