Shadow: Ok, I know I still don't have The Gift finished, but I'd already written two chapters for this story, so I decided to go ahead and type them up.
Shippou: But there's only one chapter!
Shadow: It's all I could type up at school Shippou. Here, go have fun or something. tosses candy bar far, far away
Shippou: CANDY!!! runs off after candy
Shadow: shakes head Oh yeah, I don't own any of the characters in this fanfic except the neko youkai. She's my creation, so don't steal her without asking me first!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Kagome!" Shippou cried, jumping onto the girl's shoulders. "You're back! Did you bring any candy with you?"
"Of course," Kagome told the young kitsune youkai. She had her yellow backpack stuffed with things from her time. She laid the backpack down.
"Kagome-chan, you've returned," Sango said walking up to Kagome.
"Yeah," she said, Shippou off her shoulders. He was now searching through the backpack. "Where are InuYasha and Miroku?"
"Off chasing a demon that was bothering the village, Sango said sighing.
"I guess you couldn't go because of your wounds, huh?" Kagome asked.
"Yes. They told me to stay and wait for you," she said sadly. The youkai taijiya was injured badly in a fight with a bear youkai a few days before. "They have Kirara, though."
"And I stayed with Sango so she wouldn't be lonely!" Shippou said, a candy bar in each hand and chocolate around his mouth. They all knew, though, that he stayed behind because he was scared. He jumped out of the backpack and back on Kagome's shoulders.
"Let's go back to the village," Kagome said, picking up her pack. Shippou moved to the top of her head so she could wear it on her back.
"Hopefully InuYasha, Miroku, and Kirara are back," Sango said.
"Who cares? I have candy!" Shippou cried, his sugar rush about to begin.
"Well come on then. Let's go!" Kagome yelled, caught up in the moment. She started to run to the village, Shippou trying to hang on, Sango right behind.
After the left, a neko youkai stepped out from behind a tree. She looked to be in her mid-thirties human wise, though she had lived longer than most demons she knew. She was as tall as Kagome, and she was wearing a black kimono. She had gray eyes, black hair, white cat ears on top of her head (A/N – Duh!), and a white tail coming out of a hole in her kimono. "At last," she said quietly to the wind. "At last I have found you...Master Shippou."

Shadow: I know. It's kind of short, but I didn't want to put too much in the first chapter.
Kouga: Actually, the mutt couldn't think of enough to write about.
Shadow: Hush up! And why did you call me a mutt? looks sad (
Kouga: Because you are?
Shadow: Oh yeah!
Kouga: --;;
