It was a dark, yet peaceful night in feudal japan, at the top limb of a very tall tree sat a little girl who wore a pink shirt and matchting short kimono pants."man, those people at that vilage will belive anything", the girl said as she took a bag of coins out of her inside shirt pocket. "they actually thought I could tell their fortunes !"she said in amusement. The wind blew slightly and the little girls silver hair blew up, and the cold air made her dog-like ears twich. "I'll go to another vilage tomorrow morning and buy something with the money I have." With that, the little girl wrapped her fox tail around herself and she fell asleep. Time seemed to have just flew by as night became day and the girl woke up to the warmth of the sun. "I hope theres another vilage nearby." She thougth as she started running through the forest. At least ten minutes had passed before she reached a small vilage. "finally, now I can buy some food." Meanwhile, shippo was walking to that very same vilage and he was alone. (what a surprise) "why do I have go buy food for the group ? its not fair." Apparently, shippo wasn't looking where he was going and he ran into someone. The person he ran into picked him up by his tail and stared at him. "put me down !!!" shouted shippo, but the person didn't put him down, instead, the person dropped him on the ground. "who are you anyway ?!" said shippo angrily. "I'm just an orphan demon that's all." replyed the person. "you're an orphan too ?" asked shippo. "yeah, im a cross-breed demon." said the person. "cross-breed ?" said shippo. "im a cross between a fox demon and a dog demon." she said. Shippo looked at the girl, she had long silver hair, claws, fangs, and dog-like ears, just like inu-yasha. "so, why are you here ?" asked the girl. "Im supposed to buy food for some people I know using coins that are really magic leaves !" said shippo. "oh, well here take these." said the girl as she gave shippo all of her food she just bought. "thanks !!" said shippo with a smile on his face. "you should meet my friends." said shippo. "ok, I'll go with you to see them, oh, by the way, my name is serenity." she said. "I like that name" said shippo as him and serenity started walking to where inu-yasha and the others where.
