Alright guys I just want you to know that some of this is just filler, while I make my way into figuring out just what roads I am going to take in this story. I would like to thank the reviewers that wrote beautiful comments in the first chapter, and would like to do a big should out to my friend j108 that is doing a wonderful job drawing some of the scene. Now time for my famous saying

If you don't like my story, take it up with your lawyers because I don't want to hear about it!

Well I hate to admit it, but I think that Shadow and I are lost. Don't ask me how we got lost, but we couldn't seem to understand where we were at. Night was setting, and the Murkrow were starting to fly over our heads so they could be free from the sunlight. I looked from the road that we had found back to Shadow. He looked at me with confusion, which just told me that he had no idea where we were at either. Normally we would have our since of direction all put together because everything was new, but somehow we have no idea where we are going. That's whenever we heard sobbing. Shadow and I looked all around us to see if we could find where the noise was coming from. Then we spotted something. It was a very tiny Vulpix standing in the middle of the road in front of us. It was sitting on its butt, and crying at the top of its lungs.

"Hey, what's wrong little Vulpix?" I asked, maybe it was being a female, but I felt the urge to help this little pokemon.

"I got lost from Momma!" The little Vulpix cried out again.

I could see that Shadow tensed up a bit. I didn't understand why though, so I just ignored it for the moment. I stood the little Vulpix up and set it back on its feet.

"Don't worry, Sol is here to help you. What is your name?" I asked looking at the little one.

"My name is Juniper, but Jun for short." She managed to whimper out in the most adorable little voice.

I could have lost my mind right at that moment and just held onto the little baby with all my might, but the rational side of my head told me that it wasn't a good idea. I looked at Shadow. Then I told Jun to stay right where she was, the big kids had to talk.

"We have to help her, she is homeless right now." I told him.

"But I don't want to. She is a fox type, they are sly. Not to mention a Ninetails is really dangerous when aggravated. Didn't Mother and Father ever teach you that?" Shadow said defensively.

"Shadow, she's lost. She's lonely like how you where whenever you came to me." I whimpered to him.

"Whoever said I was lonely!" He retorted rather loudly.

"What is that supposed to mean!" I got into his face.

"It doesn't matter." He said backing down a bit.

"Well I don't see what the problem is, I am going to return this little baby back to its mother. If the mother gets mad, then she is pretty dumb. I don't just want to leave poor little Jun here. You can come if you want and I want you too, but you don't have to if you feel that you are in danger." I retorted turning my tail letting it swipe near his face.

I had never gotten angry at him like that before. Maybe I was too harsh? Why did he mean by "whoever said I was lonely" I mean if I was alone I would be lonely. I frowned at the thought. Maybe he didn't want me around after all. These thoughts keep making my tail go lower and lower until my tail is completely between my legs. I then walked back over to little Jun.

"Do you remember the last time that you saw your mother?" I asked.

"I saw her right at the edge of the woods. She was walking into the meadow." The little fox pokemon said.

I gather the little bundle of red fur on my back and began prancing to the end of the road. I didn't even notice that it took a good while before Shadow started to follow us. When we reach the opening we say many new pokemon, and there were a lot of flowers. I had never seen so many flowers in my life. But the best part about the field was in the distance of the field, there stood a large Ninetails. With little Jun on my back I ran up to the Ninetails and smiled.

"Momma?" Jun asked looking up at the Ninetails.

The mother seemed to recognize the baby immedieatly and then looked at me and growled. I then realized that maybe my "she's pretty dumb" statement might be coming true. What the heck is with pokemon in this world and fighting whenever I didn't do anything wrong? I slowly backed away, and the Ninetails didn't follow. I turned and expected to see Shadow standing behind me, but he was nowhere to be seen. Maybe he did actually leave me because he didn't mind being alone. With my ears and tails down, I began to walk further into the distance.

"What took you so long, I thought that I would have to come back for you." I heard his voice.

My ears perked up immediately and my tail was wagging. I was never so happy to see him in my life. I had worried myself for nothing. I ran up to him and tackled him just as if we were still only a few days old. I nibbled his ears, and he playfully bit mine again. I could tell that he totally wasn't expecting me to do something like this.

"So why don't you like Ninetails?" I asked out of the blue.

"No reason, their shiny fur just brings back memories of how I was picked on. Don't worry about it though." He said sadly, but put on a fake smile so that I wouldn't worry about him.

I leaned over and gave him a small peck on the cheek. His face turned from slightly hurt too completely and utterly surprised. This isn't the first time that I pecked him on the cheek, but he does the same reaction every time, and it never gets tiring.

"Why do you do that?" I asked, this time my voice sounded a bit hurt.

"What do you mean?" He asked after recomposing himself.

"Act like you aren't hurting so the others won't worry about you. I don't know about you, but you know it is alright to show emotions around me. I want to be here for you." I told him looking directly into his eyes.

He didn't speak anymore, but a frown was on his face, and his eyes were getting wet. I knew that he was about to cry. There were only 3 time that I have saw Shadow cry. The first was whenever I brought him to the house, the second was whenever some bullies were picking on him, (which I gladly beat up.) and now. I didn't like to see him cry but I knew it was good for him. I pulled him into a hug and let him cry on my shoulder. At that moment I swore to myself, that I would become a strong flareon so that I would never have to see Shadow cry of small things like that again. I was not going to let someone I care about slip away so easily, because I wasn't strong enough to do something about it.
