Shippo stays held in Sachi's arms and looks at Riah and asks "Is Aiden still mad at me?"
Riah "Yeah he is. I don't really know how to help him get over being angry at the fact that you asked Inuyasha and Kagome instead. I've tried everything. I tried telling him over and over that Hitan and Maten may have just been to much for you to handel on your own and to fast for you to run away from them. I mean I'm sure you would've found us before you took on the thunder brothers if you were able to Shippo. But I guess Aiden just doesn't understand that yet."
Shippo "Well at first Inuyasha was reluctant in the idea of helping me fight them, but then they kidnapped Kagome when she defended me against Maten. After that Inuyasha was more willing to help me out even though his reasoning wasn't to avenge our dad but to rescue Kagome."
Riah "Oh I see. Well at least you're safe and that's the main thing. And I'm greatful to Inuyasha for beating Hitan and Maten as well."
Shippo nods and then looks up to Miroku.
Miroku thinking to himself ~ Sango can handel hers, Kagome can handel hers, Riah can handel his, but mine drives me completely out of my mind in every situation. Even when he does chores he always does them in the most bizarre ways. ~ Miroku gives a sigh and looks in the store again.
