Ok, chapter 1 of my yam/Kag drabble. There will be an update probably about twice a day, because it will be a short fic. It will probably help to re-read some of 'Lord of the West', this is a good story I promise, it just won't be all that long. Sorry for abandoning my other stories.

The cardinals meet

There was Lord Kaoru and Lady Akira of the East with two pups, a boy of around seventeen, her age, and a girl who looked to be around six. They were foxes, and the eldest of the leaders; they also aged the slowest, one year for every fifty that passed. It was word going around that in a couple hundred years, when their eldest pup would be twenty one, Lord Kaoru would hand over his title and Lands and retire to some island with his mate.

None of the other Lords would dream of doing such a thing, especially with a pup so young, but they seemed to be jovial about the matter, jovial about their lives instead of uptight. What's more their eldest pup seemed to be proud and eager rather than despondent, resigned and resentful at the prospect of being Lord.

With one look at their eldest pup, his strong figure, his ginger hair and his beautiful tail, Kagome was instantly smitten with him and overcome with pride. She had always wanted to meet this man – demon, but never dreamed of having the chance, and she was not disappointed in the slightest; because from one glance she could tell he had a kind heart. She loved the kit in the feudal era and was without a doubt that this man was Shippou's father.
