Kagome shrugged and continued gathering wood. Shippou stared in the direction the kitsune had gone. **I'm glad Miroku wasn't here to see her. He would have pestered her like he does Kagome,** he thought to himself. Then he heard his name being called. He looked up to see Kagome standing nearby, waiting somewhat impaitently. "Come on. We got to get back before Inuyasha has kittens," she said. The look on Shippou's face was too much. She began to giggle. "That means before he gets mad," she added between giggles. "Well, why didn't you say so. I know there is no way a dog demon can possibly have a litter of kittens. Especially a male dog demon," he replied a little testily.This just made Kagome laugh harder. When she finally calmed down, she glanced up and saw the female kitsune looking at them. Or rather at Shippou. Kagome had never seen a female kitsune before and was curious about her. The female had black hair and a long beautiful black tail that Kagome wanted to touch. When she reached out, the female kitsune hissed at her, revealing a nice set of fangs. "Touch me not," she growled, thinking Kagome meant her harm.
