"Eep!Kirara!Wait for mee!"

I scurry after the fire cat, a grin on my face.Kirara is the perfect playmate.She's always willing to play when we take a break from shard hunting.Lucky for us, today we're resting at Kaede-bachan's village, and Kirara and I are free to play under the sappire sky.

I look up as a small chill runs down my back, and I spot a white snake floating through the air just beyond the tree line.A few minutes later, I hear the tell-tale sign that Kikyo has come to see InuYasha again.

"Osuwari!"

I hear him go splat, and I can smell that she's upset, and he's guilty.I turn to my playmate sadly.

"Kagome's mad again...she's going home."I say softly, looking in the direction of her well.I feel my heart sink, knowing that she'll be gone for at least a week.

I start at the sound of a soft 'mew,' and Kirara nudges my hand with her damp nose.She looks up at me with friendly crimson eyes, and I can't help but smile.She darts away, and I laugh and give chase, taking comfort in her friendship.
