Hello! I feel so happy that you decided to come read this fan fiction. Actually, I did this story before, but this is an improved version. The older one was leading to nowhere, so I took a break… But now I'm back! And I'll do my very best to update!

So enjoy!

Disclaimer: I am only putting this up once in the entire story. I do not own Inuyasha. You cannot sue me!

"Grandpa! Wha- urgh - is it that you - uhn - put in these boxes?!" 16 year old Kagome Higurashi cried out from under the weight of the heavy boxes.

"Kagome, you know very well that those are all of my artifacts! I couldn't just leave them behind…" Kagome's aged grandfather explained, as he walked out of the shrine.

"Are all artifacts this heavy?!" Kagome complained as she brought them in the living room, and placed them carefully on the floor. She sighed, and wiped her forehead with her hand.

"Well that depends… Are you talking about my 250 year old vases, or my history books?" Her grandfather teased.

Kagome sweat dropped. She should have seen that coming. "Well, might as well get this done… I'll unload the rest of the boxes."

"Be careful Kagome! I have more delicate artifacts in them!" Her grandfather warned.

"Great…" Kagome mumbled.

Another 16 year old girl was seen dialing a phone number on her cell. "Hey houshi!" She called.

"Why Sango dear, never did I expect that you would call me! Something I can do for ya?" He asked.

"Uh, no I'm good," she answered uncertainly, "but guess what I just learned!"

"That I'm not as lecherous as I look?" He guessed.

"Nice try, but no. I just learned that someone's finally moving in that old shrine that I pass by on my way to school every morning!" She corrected.

"Oh? Do you know who?" He questioned.

"Not yet, but I'm going to go see now." She answered. "Wanna come?"

"Wish I could Sango, but I'm already on my way to Inuyasha's place." He replied.

"That's too bad. I'll tell you what happens!" She announced cheerfully and hung up.

"Argh! I can't take this anymore!" Kagome cried out, trying to carry another heavy box into her living room. "Smokey! You're not making this any better!" She yelled to the little kitten that was purring on her legs. "A..haah.. Aha! Stop that tickles!" She laughed as her was circling her legs.

"GYAH!" -Crash-

Unpacking the utensils in the kitchen, her grandfather looked out the window quickly to see what happened. There, on the front step, his granddaughter lay laughing and petting Smokey, the adorable gray kitten they had adopted a year ago as Kagome's birthday present.

He smiled. 'It's been a while since she's laughed like that…'

His smile suddenly vanished as he saw what that scream was about. 'No… NO!' He thought. Beside Kagome was the box she was trying to carry, open and torn.

"Kagome! What happened! My… my sculptures!" He cried as he ran outside, and leaned on the broken box.

"So that's what was in there!" Kagome said, as she was holding Smokey in her arm. "Heh heh… Well, Smokey was tickling my legs when I guess they just… Ran out!" She sweat dropped. "And um… I kinda dropped the box."

Her grandfather remained plastered to the box. "My beautiful sculptures…"

She looked down at Smokey and whispered, "I think we should leave them alone…" She began to walk towards the truck. "Well grandpa I'll get the rest of my things out!" She said nervously as her grandfather began to drag the broken box inside the house.

Heh heh… Poor Ji-chan… His beautiful sculptures torn to pieces. Well, I hope you enjoyed Chapter 1, even though it was quite short. I will write Chapter 2 shortly!

Like it? Don't like it? Think it could be better? Drop me a review!
