It's just like the good old days when Shippo would embrace Kagome, except now it's 30 years after the death of Naraku and Shippo is now a grown man. He's now as tall as InuYasha is, with a voice like Johnny Yong Bosch (voice for Vash, Ichigo, LeLouch...).

The reason Kagome is crying, Ichiro Higarashi(Kagome's grandpa)has just died. He got too old, that's the thing.
