Disclaimer : I do not own the right to Inuyasha, rather Rumiko Takahashi does. I also do not own 'The Fox and the Crow', written and told by Aesop, many many years ago.

Author's Comments : Okay, it may seem weird, but I thought this would be cute.
I found inspiration when my mom brought home a box of books she purchased at a yard sale, and I discovered one called Aesop's Fables.
Hope you like it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome came through the well one day, exhaustion clearly being shown in her facial expression.
"Kagome!" cried the ball of fur as it mad-dashed towards Kagome.
"Konichiwa Shippo-chan."
Shippo lept to her shoulder. "Something wrong?"
"Iie, I'm tired."
"Ano...what's that?" he asked as he pointed at the object she just pulled from her backpack.
"It's called 'Aesop's Fables'.
"Is it a story?"
"Kind of....It's a book of little stories written by Aesop. Would you want to hear one?"
"Hai!"
"Okay, wait 'til we get back to Kaede's hut, then I'll read one to you."
"Yay!"
"Shippo-chan, where's Inuyasha?"
"Feh..." she heard coming from a nearby tree as the hanyou lept from it's branches.
"Konichiwa Inuyasha." she said happily.
"Come on wench...You've been gone long enough..We need to get those shards before Naraku does."
"Inuyasha, onegai...I'm tired. Can we atleast start in the morning?"
"Feh...fine wench. But as soon as morning comes, we're gone."
Kagome let out a tired sigh. "Okay Inuyasha."
Suprisingly, he picked up her pack and then her. Shippo was still on her shoulder as Inuyasha lept off towards Kaede's hut.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once at the hut, as promised, Kagome had sat down close to the fire for light.
Shippo sat on her shoulder as she began to read, but the others around just listened as they finished their rice.
"A crow was sitting on a branch of a tree with a piece of cheese in her beak when a fox observed her and set his wits to work to discover some way of getting the cheese. Coming and standing under the tree he looked up and said 'What a beautiful bird I see! Her feathers are surely the most colorful of any! She should rightfully be called 'The Queen of Birds'!"
The crow was so flattered by the fox's words that she descided to praise him by her voice. She let out a 'caw' and the cheese fell from her beak. The fox quickly snatched it, and turned to the bird saying, "You have a voice, I see, but it's wits you lack." and with that, the fox ran off with his prize."
"Smart fox." Shippo stated happily.
"I think the crow should've pecked 'im to death for stealin' the cheese." Inuyasha said as he went to devour the last of his rice.
"Oh really?" Kagome asked, raising an eyebrow at the hanyou's words.
"Feh..of course!" he said as he nearly dumped all of the rice into his mouth at once.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few minutes later, Kagome pulled out a 2-tier bento box filled with some deserts she had made, and set them out for everyone.
"Kagome-sama, think I could hear another story tomarrow?" Shippo asked, setting down his few cookie sticks and looking to Kagome.
"Hai Shippo-chan."
"Arigatou!"
"For what?"
"For the story, and these yummy-hey! Where's my cookies?" he said looking where he laid the cookies. "Inuyasha!" he said as inuyasha finished them off, throwing the wrapper to the side.
"Nani?!"
"Those were mine!"
"You put 'em down, so they were anyone's!"
"I was gonna eat 'em!" he wailed, his eyes tearing up.
"Feh....too late."
"Inuyasha!"
The whole ime Kagome watched, and let out a deep sigh. "The fox and 'crow' are at it again...."
