^^ I will try to make these chapter longer, and sorry if the format is still off, it is a pain to get this to work correctly if you have no clue how to do it. :-) I decided to get a real chapter going right away. _________________________________________

It was late, the skys were dark and the sounds of the city were becoming muted. The shrine was quiet after a long day. The breazes of wind simplycooled down the surrounding atmoshpere, and one would think that the inhabitants would be asleep.

However the was one child awake sitting outside and thinking. She was quiet and her thoughts should not have been one to trouble one so young.

' I should be happy today I am ten.'

Kagome was outside, her family was asleep. Her father had not come to her party, and she was sad. The only thing that her mother would say was that he would be away for a long time. She didn't know why but she felt sad, maybe it was because her mom had been crying earlier.

'Why is she crying, he is coming back right?'

Kagome didn't know, and tried to think of happy thoughts, like presents!! Yeah thats it! Lets see here she got lots of neat stuff!!! Some pretty clothes, her mom had gotten them for her, they were pink and white and sooo much better than the school uniforms. When got them she gave her mom a hug, they were wonderfull. Her friends had given her some dolls, she couldnt wait to try them out either. Then there was a cake, covered in icing, her FAVORITE too.

'But nothing from dad..'

She was getting close to crying, and one shouldn't do that on one's birthday. Then she spotted Buyo, the lazy cat was going into the well house.

'Silly little kitty, I wonder what he thinks he is doing going into there?'

Kagome followed him into the ancient building, the place was decrepit and covered in dust.

' What does he think he is doing in here?'

She found Buyo by the stairs in the shadows, and instead of taking him out she sat next to him, taking him in her lap and petting him, he loved his ears rubbed. His purring was soothing and she was really up too late for her age so she bagan to get sleepy and dozed.

She was woke up later by something panting heavily. Before she could find what it was something jumped out of the well, and she caught a startled gasp.

It was a child not much older than her. His apearence was wild, his eyes wide and brilliant amber sparkling in the moonlight. His hair was silver luminesant and sparkling, and it was topped by two ears twitching madly. He was in a red robe, loose and dirty, and he was panting and turning wildly looking for anything. He was beautifull in his own way, even covered in sweat and dirt, a wild untamed sort of it, but beautfull.

Kagome kept quiet, trying not to make a sound and the youth searched the house, apparently seeing nothing, he went in a corner and curled up wimpering softly. Soon falling deep asleep.

After some time wide eyed and shivering slightly Kagome crawled up to him, Buyo had left her lap sometime she was asleep, and tweaked his ears, which twitched slightly.

'They are real!! OOOOO he is SOOOO cute.'

She decided to see if he liked what Buyo did and scratched them lightly, they were damp from sweat but still increadably soft and petable. A slight purr escaped from the boy and he leaned into the hand. This made Kagome absolutly melt as she leaned over him to scratch both ears. However the air was getting chilly and he began to shiver. Not wanting to leave she curled up into him trying to get him warm, responding he curled around hugging her gently and he stopped shivering. Kagome in turn felt warm and sleepy, not minding his sweat, feeling for the first time the entire night, at peace.
