Shippou appears! The Thunder Brothers, Hiten and Manten [Page 3/7]






Ah, wasn't that fun, Manten?
Manten agrees.

Somehow our power still overflows more than before.

These Shikon shards' power on our forehead is really great! Manten combs his few hairs:  Right, right.





They decide to find others with these shards.


And they laugh off into the sky: HAHAHAHA! Murderers are always so cheerful!
And, we're back! Shippou has just told Kagome that his dad had a Shikon shard.

Shippou:
Those guys are going around, killing youkai who have the shards.



Kagome stops her bike:
"Those guys"?

Shippou explains:
The Thunder Brothers.

Inuyasha's up that tree!:
The Thunder Brothers,
you say?

Myouga's on him!:
Hiten and Manten,
I presume.




I once heard they are unstoppable, violent brothers.

Confident boy:
Doesn't matter! Once I kill them, I'll get a handful of shards at once.
Shippou:
Heh, what a joke.
They are not someone you can stand up against!
You're hanyou, right?
I can smell the human in you.
 





A lowly hanyou shouldn't get involved in a fight between us real youkai.

Kagome, knowing Inuyasha, warns: 
Shippou-chan,
you shouldn't really-
Bwonk!

Shippou:
Why you...






Bwonka bwonka bwonk!



Kagome quickly intervenes:
Inuyasha!


Shippou apologises, several times bowing.
Inuyasha:
Feh. That's better.
Shippou:
As a token of my apology...






*Fwamp!*




He seals it with an ofuda-type thing.



Inuyasha:
You brat!
Shippou just laughs:
Until you take that scroll off, the statue won't move!
Kagome:
Shippou-chan, you weren't very nice either.
Haha, he fehs!





Inuyasha, you too!
Stop playing around!

He wiggles:
It, it really doesn't move!

Our trickster:
I don't want to get rough with girls but...
you sleep a little, too!






She sways, but catches him:
That hurt, you know!, she scolds a surprised Shippou.


Shippou kitsune-bi's a fire, fending off our miracle worker.


He dashes off with the shards!:
Ta-da! With these I can lure the Thunder Brothers!

Kagome gathers her bow and chases the running fox.







Inuyasha calls after:
Hey, Kagome!
Get this scroll off first!

Hey! HEY!



In a pond, Manten reflects himself, thinking that if he had more hair he'd be as popular as his brother.
He combs the great amount there is, and something sounds in the bushes!





Shippou!:
Heh, shook her off.


Crap. Manten:
Hmm? My my, if it isn't the son of the youkai fox
from before.
Shippou:
You...


Ah! He sees his father.
