Chapter Thirteen: How old?


Hana watched as Shippo and Chiyoko headed out of the well house. She was unable to see what her father had done to Shippo but she did hear everything that was said. Hana knew they were now going to head to Shippo’s apartment so they could get cleaned up and have a long talk.

Looking at the two of them she noticed how much blood was on their clothing. “I wonder how long it’s going to take Chiyoko to realize that Shippo was the one who helped her dad get to the house. With all that blood on him I thought she would have at least asked how it got there.”

Before going to bed she tipped toed into her parents’ room and checked on her father. His face was distorted in pain but he slept soundly. Looking at the bandage on his stomach Hana was relieved to see it had not bled through the wrapping.

Lightly she kissed her parents’ good night. Getting into her bed she too fell into a quite slumber.

Haruki was already asleep by time they got to the house. It was 1:30 in the morning but it felt like the night had just started. Chiyoko was happy she had packed a bag and had everything she needed to get cleaned up. After she showered and put on her night grown she went to Shippo’s room.

“I’m out. You can use the bathroom now.”

She was greeted with a grin and eyes that looked her up and down. She just looked so cute standing there bare foot in a long red t-shirt that read “huggable” and boy was she ever. Her wet hair was loose and the silver strands seemed to glow under the light.

“Hellooo… are you just going to stare at me with that dumb look on your face all night or are you going to get cleaned up?”

Shippo laughed and shook his head. “I don’t know. I think I might stare for just a little longer. But the dumb look, that’s permanent.” How easily it was to put their relationship back where it once was, was amazing to Shippo. It had been over five hundred years and yet it was like not a day had gone by.

Chiyoko watched TV in Shippo’s room as he took his shower. After about fifteen minutes she got up off the bed and decided to look around. She had always known that her mystery man had lived right next to her, but now knowing it had been Shippo all this time it made her wonder. Looking out the window it answered her question. “He always watched over me.” She said happly.

“Since the day you were born. I hope that doesn't creep you out.”

Chiyoko turned to see Shippo standing at the door way. He wore a gray short sleeve shirt and navy blue pajama pants. Smiling at him she grabbed the pillow and threw it at him.

“Hey what was that for?” Shippo called out playfully as the pillow hit him in the stomach.

“Oh, and you need to ask. I can see my bedroom window clearly from here.” Laughing she tossed another pillow at him this time hitting him in the head. “You’re a total hentai!”

“I don’t watch over you like that. Thank you very much. Although, now that you mention it, I don’t know why I never did?” He put on a playfully thoughtful face as if he was really trying to think why he never had.

“So you’re telling me you never caught me changing my clothes or coming out of the shower?” She plopped down on Shippo’s bed and waited for him to answer. Instead of answering her he just stared. Without thinking about it, he bit his bottom lip exposing his fang.

“Hentai!” Chiyoko called out when he didn’t answer her. Then in a sing song fashion she started teasing him. “Shippo is a hentai, a hentai, a hentai, Shippo is a hentai, he is a really big one.”

Before she knew it a pillow hit her up side the head. “Hey, if you don’t want to be seen put your window shades down.” Shippo stated in defense.

“Oh, my gods, you really did see me changing.” Chiyoko face was the color of Inuyasha’s fire rat robe.

“Don’t worry the few times I did look out my window and saw you less then fully clothed I quickly put my shades down. I’m not as big of a hentai as you would like to think!”

“So you do admit to being a hentai then.” The now rose colored girl said mockingly.

Shippo moved closer to her and sat down on the bed. “Well, I do have two things that can be held against me. I’m male and my breed is a type of dog.”

Laughing Chiyoko asked her next question. “So what is it that makes you NOT a BIG hentai?”

“uhm… That’s a hard one. Let’s see. 1) I’m totally head over heals for this one girl I know. Too bad for her sometimes it can be quite the challenge to look away. 2) I am a man of respect, most of the time a least. 3) I took baths with Kagome and Sango for almost nine years. I had to learn to keep control over my body or get beat up like Inuyasha and Miroku did. Then again I was really young back then.”

“You saw my mother naked?” Chiyoko asked with a mixture of shook and amusement.

“Yeah. But don’t worry you're way hotter naked then she ever was.”

“Oh, really?”

“Like I said if you don’t want to be seen…”

Before he could finish his sentence Chiyoko jumped on top of him and started beating him up with the pillow. She pushed him down with the pillow into a laying position. With her beating him up playfully, it wasn’t long before he over powered her. Taking the pillow he tossed it across the room. Then he grabbed hold of her two arms and made one quick turn pinning her under him. With her arms over her head and him laying between her legs, he couldn’t help the little hentai thought that past through his mind.

“I got you right where I want you.” A sly look appeared on his face and for a moment Chiyoko thought the playfulness had left his eyes. “Let me see you beat me up now, little girl.” He teased.

“Little girl? Little girl! I’ll show you a little girl.” Chiyoko wildly bucked underneath him trying to break free. Her attempts were useless. Shippo was a lot stronger then what he use to be. Looking at him holding her down she realized even with as much as she was fighting, Shippo was barely using any of his strength.

“I might be a little girl, but you’re just a big bully!” Chiyoko taunted and stuck her tongue out.

“So I’m a big bully am I? I’ll tell you what; I’ll give you a fighting chance. I’ll only hold you down with one arm.” A grin crossed his face as he let his right hand rest on the mattress. “I’ll even be nice and use my weaker one.”

Feeling up to the challenge Chiyoko tried again, hoping this time to free herself. Shippo watched her wiggle, toss and turn. To his pleasure he noticed every time she tried to move her legs up to push him off of her, her nightgown elevated a little higher. Seeing the flesh of her upper inner thigh Shippo licked his lips. How badly he had wanted to press his lips onto that naked pale skin. His mind gasped for oxygen as she pushed against him once more thrusting her hips up at him and making a connection with his groin.

He couldn’t fight the thoughts that now intruded on their innocent little game. He wanted to make love to her. He wanted to share with her something no one else ever could. It was more then a want it was a need. He needed to make her his mate. He needed to show her how much he loved her. He needed…her.

Letting his imagination roam free he pictured himself letting go of her wrist as he slowly moved his hands down to take hold of her delicate hips. Kneeling down, he carefully claimed her panties and started to pull downward exposing her neatly trimmed womanhood. He could see the drops from her wetness on her delicate curls and wanted a taste. Once her black lace panties were completely off, he lifted her long sexy thin legs onto his shoulders. At first he tenderly kissed the soft skin on her thighs causing her to shutter, then moving in closer he gradually licked his way to her wet spot. Lovingly he stroked her wanting flesh with his tongue in slow hard motions. She tasted as wonderful as she smelt.

Eagerly Chiyoko widened her legs and arched her back allowing him further access as she began to moan and grind her hips. With her hands she lifted her long shirt and began to fondle her beautiful breast. Pinching, squeezing, and caressing them, she stared into Shippo’s eyes, pleading for some release, wanting him to give her, her first orgasm.

Gently Shippo slid the tip of his finger into her swollen lips and let it effortlessly slide all the way in. Still lapping at her sweat juices he pumped his finger in and out, making her call out his name in pleasure. Shippo’s mouth continued to lavish her clit, switching up between making small circles and lightly sucking on it. Her smell got stronger as she came closer to her climax. Her clit was a hard as a marble and with a quick flicker of his tongue she pushed up to him and stiffened as he brought her an orgasm. He gracefully pulled out his finger and licked greedily at the sex juices that oozed from her body.

Just thinking about her Cumming was enough to make him squeeze her arms tighter, bringing him back to reality. He watched her struggle underneath him trying to break free from his hold.

He knew he had to do something to stop the thoughts from racing through his mind. So using his free hand Shippo grabbed the bottom of her shirt that was now about an inch from her pretty little black panties. The second he took hold of it Chiyoko stopped moving and watched to see what Shippo was about to do.

Chiyoko noticed as he loomed over her that the look in his eyes said he was no longer playing and there was a small pant in each breath he took. His soft playful features had vanished and had been replaced with a frustrated masculine look.

His hand hung tightly to her nightgown as he studied her and slowly ran his tongue over his lips. He tensely looked over her body like a fox that hadn’t eaten in months and had just found his pray.

Meeting eyes with her he made his move. Effortlessly Shippo pulled at her shirt. Covering her up. Then opening his left hand that held onto her wrist he let go of her.

In a feather light voice Chiyoko broke through the thick silence. “Are you okay?”

“You have to go home.”

“What? Why?”

“Because, I can’t just see you as my friend! I can’t play with you the way we use to and not want take it farther.”

Shippo still held his position over her. Bringing her hands over his head Chiyoko pulled Shippo closer to her. “Then take it farther!” She said and reached up to meet his lips, but before she could Shippo pulled away. Getting off of her he sat down on the other end of the bed.

“You don’t know what you’re saying Chiyoko.”

Sitting up and facing Shippo she made her reply. “Yes I do. You were going to ask me to be your mate before…we got interrupted. I was going to say yes. Shippo, I love you and I want to be with you. If you take me now we don’t have to worry about my father coming after you. He won’t be able to do anything.”

“Do you really think the thought has never crossed my mind? That was my plan back then, but I couldn’t go through with it. Chiyoko, I want us to be together more then anything, but if you became my mate behind your families back you would never be able to see them again. That’s why I sent your father back there to stop me.”

Chiyoko was stunned. To never see her family again was something she just couldn’t do. She understood why Shippo couldn’t go through with it either and why he sent Inuyasha over there to stop them. Wait… did she just hear him right?

“Did you just say YOU sent my father to stop us?”

It was time for that long talk to take place. Shippo told her everything that had happened up until he met with her at the well to stop her. He even told her about almost mating with Rei. He however was surprised to find out that she had already known about it.

Chiyoko plastered on a gigantic smile onto her face. In a chirpy voice she stated the obvious. “Well the gods be mighty, you’re still a virgin Shippo!”

“Yeah, and your point?”

Crossing his arms like that he reminded her of her father. Them two definitely spend too much time with each other, she found herself thinking.

“My point is, your how old and you still never had sex?” She teased.

“Well, the only person I wanted to be with had been gone most of my life. And then when I finally found her she was too young for that kind of relationship.”

A sad look washed over Chiyoko’s face. Growing up she had always teased him about being an old man even though he looked only to be a year older then her. But back then he was only fifty seven years older then her, now the age difference had to be huge.

“Shippo, how old are you now?”

“Because I grew quicker then I was suppose too I’m 23. But I really should be 19. If I’m not mistaking I’ll catch up to my right age in about another 125 human years.”

“How much older are you then me in human years?”

“I’m 543 years older then you. But those numbers mean nothing because I’m not human.”

“So what would I go by being that I’m both?”

Shippo had to think about this for a moment. To be honest he never stopped to think about it before. Over the past five hundred years calculating time schedules had been the one thing that helped him stay focused. He had even made a timeline of Inuyasha’s age compared to Kagome’s, so that he could do studies on making Inuyasha appear older. As hard as Inuyasha tried he just couldn’t make himself grow older like Shippo had. In the end it all came down to fox magic. Because Shippo had the ability to transform he was able to force his body to grow at Chiyoko’s rate.

Thanks to Shippo’s studies he found away to help Inuyasha and Kagome age together. Using his fox magic he enchanted two gem stones. Inuyasha had stolen Kagome’s wedding rings and Shippo replaced the diamonds in it, as well as the ones in Inuyasha’s ring. As long as Shippo was alive the enchanted stones would make Kagome slow down her aging process to match Inuyasha’s. As for Inuyasha he would age at human rate every five years until he looked to be fifty and then it he would age like a half breed should along with Kagome.

But what about Chiyoko? How could he have never stopped to do any studies on her age and what it would mean to them? He knew she would grow like a normal human until she was an adult and then she’d live along time with her youkai part ageing her. He also knew if he had to he could enchant a stone for her. But what about now? In human years she was still a young teenager unable to marry. If she went by normal youkai years it was even worse. Fourteen human years for a youkai was still considered an infant. But she was special and he knew neither of these situations applied to her.

“To be honest, I really don’t know. The best I can figure is that because of your mixture you’re likely to have special circumstances. In fact, I really don’t think your fourteen.”

Chiyoko cocked her eye brow up at him. What in the world did he mean by that. In just a few weeks she would be fifteen but she had a feeling that’s not what he was referring to. Confused Chiyoko listened as Shippo explained.

“I know this going to sound weird but I’ve done research before on how hanyous’ age differently. Half breeds like your dad age slower then humans but faster then youkai’s. Just like humans, hitting the first stages of puberty signifies a growing up and you’re no longer a child. But after that everything from male to female and human to youkai are different.

For humans turning 18 is what makes them an adult. For males things like having sex and being able to make it on their own helps to reassure this. Females either getting married or move out make them full adults. But For youkai none of that matters.

Youkai males have to meet several standards, they can’t be considered an adult if they don’t complete all of them. Depending on what kind of youkai you are depends on what standards you have to meet. That was one of the main reasons I went with Haruki’s family. On top of that, in order for males to become an adult we also had to have had at least one sexual awakening added into our puberty cycle. For the male that's the last thing to take place because it's one of the hardest things to acheive.

It’s a lot less complicated for youkai women. There’s no test and it doesn’t matter how many times she has an awakening during her puberty cycle. Only one thing matters. The day she goes into heat. Are you with me so far?”

Chiyoko nodded her head not wanting to interrupt Shippo.

“Good, cause this is were half breeds come in. You see hanyou’s fall right between the two categories meaning which ever comes first is the one that makes them an adult. Take your dad for example. He wasn’t able to become an adult until he had sex and was able to provide for his family. That was because he hadn’t met all of the dog youkai standards yet. You on the other hand became an adult by the youkai’s way.”

It wasn’t too hard to follow but Chiyoko still didn’t see how this made her older then fourteen. Being an adult was one thing but how was it possible to be another age. “Ok. So I’m an adult. I got that part. But how old do you think I am? And more importantly how did you come to that conclusion?”

Shippo adjusted his sitting position to get comfortable. Looking at the slight confusion in Chiyoko face he smiled. “I think somewhere around 16 or 17 in youkai years. You see youkai’s have age cycles. For kids every 10 human years is one youkai year. Once they hit puberty it changes to about 20 for every year. Female youkai don’t go into heat until their at least 17. You however started going into heat when you were 12 ½ years old. The youkai part in you was forced to grow older in order to balance it’s self out. The day you turn into a woman your youkai age cycle had came into play. I’ll have to do some studies but I’m almost sure your age cycle will be every five years now or something close to it.”

“Wow! I guess that explains why I look older then all the girls in my class. What about you? Are you considered a man yet?”

Shippo blush like a little boy. How come it was so easy to tell her all this stuff about cycles but when it came to a stupid little question like, if he was a man, he was embarrassed. Mumbling he answered her question and feared her next one. “Yes, I’m a man.”

“When did you become one?”

It was just as he feared. He couldn’t lie to her and he knew if he tried to be vague she would keep on until she got it out of him. Besides it’s not like he didn’t know when she became a woman. Only difference was is that this was a little bit more embarrassing. Besides who knew maybe she wouldn’t make the connection, he thought.

“Well, it so happens that we became adults the same day.”

Although Chiyoko didn’t say anything she knew the reason why. She was unsure about what youkai standards Shippo had to meet but she was certain the day she went into heat was the day he had his first awakening.

“I’m happy to hear that. I guess in a way that makes one more thing we did together.”
