Hey everyone! This is my first real InuYasha fic! Now remember I may not be good with this right now, so spare me.

Ok, this story is about the gang meeting somebody new. She's about 11 years old, so older then Shippo, yet younger then the rest. She has black hair that goes half way down her back, and two pony tails on the side. She has blue eyes. Her robe his yellow with purple stripes going across. You'll find out more about her in the story!

Chapter 1: The girl

Shippo, playful little fox demon ran through the forest of his own time. He laughed, as he continued chasing a butterfly through the sunny day.

The butterfly finally landed on a flower, holding still, causing Shippo to get his evil chuckle in, and sneak up on the insect. He quietly crawled up to it, and finally pounced, when the butterfly ran away.

Shippo stood there, watching the butterfly fly away, when he looked ahead where the stream was. "Huh?" He saw some figure in the distance, so he curiously walked over.

"Uh....excuse me," the fox demon started.

The figure turned it's head, and looked at him curiously.

Shippo was shocked. It was a young girl, who seemed a bit lonely and sad. And...she was soaked. "Are you alright?"

She seemed a bit scared. "Who are you?" she asked nervously.

"I'm..Shippo."

The young girl then started to realized that Shippo was no threat to her. So she just turned her head back to the water.

"Umm...are you ok? You're awfully wet."

"I'm fine. Please go away."

Huh? What's wrong with this girl? Where did she come from?

"Please, I just want to be left alone."

"Uhh..." Shippo turned around, and ran away.

Kaede's place

"Alright, lunch is ready," Kagome happily said, as she brought the food out that she cooked, and sat it down for her friends.

"It better not be anything spicy," InuYasha said in a grumpy tone.

"It's not. It's my perfectly good noodles that you like."

The half demon gasped with excitement, and started eating all his lunch.

"Thank you, Kagome," Sango kindly said.

"You're welcome. Where's Shippo. He loves lunch time."

"Kagome!" a familiar voice called.

Kagome gasped, as she turned around, and saw Shippo running over. "Shippo."

"InuYasha! Miroku! Sango!"

"What is it?"

The child finally got to them. "It's a girl. She's really lonely, and I tried to help her, but she wanted to be left alone. It looks like something awful happened to her.

Miroku stood up. "Leave the way, Shippo. We must help this girl."

"You just wanna flirt with her," Sango angrily said.

"I didn't think such thing."

"You guys!" Shippo cried! "Come on!" He ran off.

"Wait up!" Kagome yelled, as she ran after him.

"There she is," Shippo said as he pointed to the girl, who was still at the stream.

"Oh my," Sango said.

Kagome rushed over to the girl. "Hey, are you alright?"

The girl turned around to face the teenager. She then found Kagome kneeling down to her. "You need help."

"No I don't," she nervously replied. "I'm waiting for my father."

"Where is your father?"

"I...I don't know. Just...go."

"Well...she seems to be fine," InuYasha said. "Lets go back to lunch."

Kagome turned her head toward the half breed. "InuYasha! She needs help! Can't you see that she's lonely and scared?!"

"Hmm," InuYasha crossed his arms, not wanting to admit that Kagome was right.

"Come with me. We can get you dried up."

The young girl stared at Kagome for a while, but decided to come with her. So she did.

Everybody got the girl settled in, with a blanket wrapped around her, as a fire was in front of her. "So what's your name?" Kagome asked.

"Yuuka," she answered.

"Where did you come from?" Sango asked.

"Around here. I was waiting for my father to come back. But he hasn't come for a few days now."

"So who is your father?" InuYasha asked.

"He's just...my father."

InuYasha grew curious.

"Well, you shouldn't be out there all alone," Miroku said. "It's dangerous."

"Yeah," said Kagome, "it's a good thing Shippo found you."

Shippo was staring at Yuuka. She sure is pretty.

Yuuka suddenly started to cough. So Kagome ran in to get her some water. "Here you go, Yuuka."

She took the cup, and started gulping it down. "Thank you very much. But...my father will be very worried about me. I should go."

"No, stay here," said Kagome.

"No. It's not my place."

"You should at least spend one night over," said Sango.

"Please, Yuuka," Kagome said. "One night."

There was silence. "All right," the girl answered.

InuYasha grew concerned. I don't like this at all. I sent that this girl is trouble. Maybe it's best that she goes. InuYasha then saw that everyone was heading inside. So he knew that Yuuka was staying for the night. I guess one night couldn't hurt. But she needs to leave tomorrow.

So...yeah, that was my first chapter. Please review. If I don't get any reviews, that means nobody likes my story, and I wouldn't want to write it.
