Often in fanfiction, Shippo's presence softens Inuyasha a bit. Inuyasha, being half - demon, has a tough exterior. But with Shippo around, he shows more of his emotional side. And Shippo, being young and curious, brings out the protective side of Inuyasha more often than not.
Their relationship in fanfiction can be full of humorous moments. Shippo might play pranks on Inuyasha, which would lead to some comical interactions. Also, they can have some heart - to - heart moments where Inuyasha shares his past experiences with Shippo, helping Shippo to understand him better.
Their relationship could start with mutual mistrust. Inuyasha might be skeptical of Female Shippo's motives or abilities at first. But as they face common enemies together, they begin to respect each other. For example, if they team up to fight a demon that is causing chaos in a village, they see how each other fights and starts to rely on one another.
One common theme is friendship. Inuyasha and Shippo often start as comrades and their relationship deepens over time. Another theme is growth. Shippo grows up under Inuyasha's influence, and Inuyasha also becomes more patient and understanding because of Shippo.
Perhaps in the fanfiction, Shippo gets hurt because of his own curiosity. He hears about a strange magical flower in a nearby forest that is said to have amazing powers. Ignoring the warnings of his friends, he goes to find it alone. When he reaches the flower, it turns out to be a trap set by an evil sorcerer. The sorcerer attacks Shippo with dark magic, causing him internal injuries. Inuyasha and the others search for him and when they find him, they have to find a way to counter the dark magic and heal Shippo.
Yes, in some fanfictions, Shippo is depicted as Inuyasha's pup. Fanfiction writers often take creative liberties and develop unique relationships between characters. They might see the bond between Shippo and Inuyasha as a father - son - like relationship, thus making Shippo Inuyasha's pup in their fictional stories.
Character development is a key feature. Since it's a crossover, seeing how the characters from different series grow and interact is important. For example, how Naruto's ninja skills might be used in the Inuyasha world.
Shippo could be hurt while trying to steal food from a local village. The villagers might mistake him for a regular fox and set up a snare. When he gets caught in it, he could injure his paw. Inuyasha and the gang would have to smooth things over with the villagers and then tend to Shippo's wound.
One implication is that it changes the dynamic of their relationship. It makes Inuyasha more of a paternal figure. For example, he might be more strict or more protective of Shippo.
Another interesting one is 'Shadows of Affection'. In this fanfiction, their relationship starts off a bit rocky but gradually develops into a deep bond. It has some exciting plot twists and the author does a great job of portraying the emotions of both Inuyasha and Shippo.
A fanfiction could be written about how Shippo tries to teach Inuyasha some of the fox tribe's cultural traditions. It would be interesting to see Inuyasha's reactions and how he adapts to these new ideas while also showing the bond between the two characters.
Well, I've come across fanfictions where Shippo gets into some really interesting situations with Inuyasha. There are those that show how their relationship evolves over time. Some fanfictions might have them facing new and unique enemies together, which makes for a great read as it adds a new dimension to their characters.
