Chapter One: The Creation

By YoukaiAlchemist2

Disclaimer: I do NOT own InuYasha, or any of the characters therein. The only character I can claim ANY form of ownership of is Evil Shippo, and because he is based off of the regular Shippo you know from the series I guess I don't really have much ownership of him either. Regardless, I hope you enjoy this tale, and I would appreciate a review.

"Com'mon, InuYasha!" Shippo begged, "I wanna get my fortune told! Just this once! PLEASE!"

"FOR THE LAST TIME, NO!" InuYasha shouted, hitting the tiny kitsune on the head.

"Why are you so mean to me?" Shippo whined, holding the large lump that swelled from his head.

"Because you're always such an annoying brat!" InuYasha shot back at him.

Kagome sighed heavily. "Why can't they ever go three minutes without fighting…" she thought. "Okay, stop fighting," Kagome tried to reason with the two.

"I just wanna see what's gonna happen, you jerk!" shouted Shippo.

"NO!" InuYasha said again, this time pinching both of Shippo's cheeks and pulling.

"SIT!" Kagome shouted loudly, sending InuYasha hurdling to the ground.

InuYasha pulled himself back up. He felt like shouting at her, but decided to push his luck. "I just don't want him wasting our funds," InuYasha scowled.

"Let Shippo go to the stupid fortuneteller!" Kagome glared. "And since when do you care about our money?"

"Fine, go to the old crone, just leave me alone," InuYasha mumbled to the kitsune.

Shippo smiled, grabbed some money that Kagome was holding out, and darted quickly into the hut.

"Oh," the old woman chuckled, "it seems I have some company. You're a fox, right?"

"Yeah!" Shippo replied excitedly, "Most people think I'm a raccoon! I got money, will you PLEASE tell me my future?"

"Sure," the fortuneteller smiled. "I just need a lock of your hair."

"Umm…" Shippo grabbed his head, "…A lock of hair? I don't wanna cut my hair!" The old fortuneteller reached out and pulled out one of Shippo's hairs. "OWW!" Shippo wailed.

"I need this if I'm to see your future," the old lady reassured him. She put his hair into a boiling pot, and stared into the smoke. "Hmmm… It seems that your friends, the monk and the slayer, will be back from their trip soon…sorry, they wont have the kid they were looking for…." She gazed deeper into the fog. "It looks like you will soon meet a new rival. I can't see who will win, but I give you my best wishes."

"Wow…" Shippo smiled at length, "You're really good at this."

"Thank you, my dear. Now run along. Your honyou friend is getting impatient," the old lady grinned and gave Shippo a little shove out the door.

"Kagome! Kagome!" Shippo shouted happily, "The old lady says that Sango and Miroku will be back soon!"

"Feh," InuYasha groaned, "She could have lied about the whole damn thing!"

"Nuh-uh!" Shippo protested, "She knew about them before I told her! How could she fake that?"

"Don't start fighting, again," Kagome moaned as the three of them walked off.

The old woman smirked to herself. "That stupid kitsune!" She laughed, "With his hair I can make a replica of him that will do my bidding. He'll steal all the things I could never have, and gather all the pieces of the jewel for me!" She checked the pot.

Instead of the bubbling potion that was there before there was now a naked kitsune, that looked exactly like Shippo. "RISE!" the old woman commanded, "Rise, and do my will!"

The Shippo-look-alike stood up. He looked at his hands, raising one over the other. "I'm…I'm alive?" he asked himself.

"Now, my creation, do as I command. Go and steal the most valuable thing around!" the old woman demanded.

"Go steal it yourself," the kitsune scowled, "I'm gonna find me some clothes." He jumped out of the pot and walked over to a near by chest and opened it. He found a small kimono (black with a blue leaf print on top, and just black on the bottom.) "This will do for now." He dressed himself.

"I made you, you ungrateful asshole!" the old woman swore, "Now go out there and steal for me!"

"Listen here, you withered old prune," the fox glared at the old woman, "I am NOT your servant. And I am getting tired of you talking to me like I'm a slave." The Shippo-look-alike snapped his fingers and shot out a huge blast of foxfire, turning the fortuneteller to ashes. "Now…what should I do about him…that bastard that made my other half miss his chance at vengeance? InuYasha?"

Sorry to cut this chapter short. I promise the nextchapter will be a lot better. I can't say it'll be longer, but it will be better (more action)…
