Prompt From The Alphabet Challenge

G: Gad: to wander idly

Floating aimlessly over the forest in the shape of a giant pink balloon, Shippou failed to pay attention to his surroundings until he was close enough to a certain Daiyoukai to be both noticed, and ignored. He did not know that he was being ignored – and so after another minute, drifting now in the direction of the village, Shippou came close enough to Sesshomaru that he finally noticed his danger...and spent a frantic moment in mid-air wondering why he wasn’t dead yet and if that might suddenly change.

Even as the thought crossed his mind, he felt a prick, as if he had been stabbed with a pin. The next moment, he found himself falling through the air, restored to his normal shape. As he tumbled, his vision spun between blue sky, green trees, and a white head of hair.

He considered his options at high speed, but he didn’t really have any; he could run, but Sesshomaru was much faster – he could try to hide, but that wouldn’t do him any good since it looked like he was falling on the Daiyoukai’s head!

No good, no good!

He was more than leery of Sesshomaru, who had hurt Kagome and at the same time raised a barrier between her and Inuyasha. If he couldn’t run, and he couldn’t hide – what other option was there?

Baka Sesshomaru! If he hadn’t showed up, I bet I’d have a family by now!

In a moment of stupid bravery – or perhaps brave stupidity – Shippou decided on his course of action and committed to it.

“Yaaaaaah! Die!”

A swathe of blue fire burst outward from his hands. He succeeded in startling Sesshomaru into taking one step backward, and then landed on his paws, surprised by his apparent success.

A/N: 300 words of Shippou, Mighty Warrior! I dedicate this chapter to r0o, for THE SMALL ARE MIGHTY! :D More later; for now, my internet has been stolen from me in the name of wizards...
