Life Isn't Fair

by Shippousfire

Hey ya'll! This story has a a few new characters as well as the gang and you might be wondering how to pronounce their names. Well, there is Keru-Keru (KEE-roo KEE-roo) and Takomse (tuh-KOHM-say). I know, I know, it's REALLY short... but if you like it, I'll write more! Enjoy!

Chapter One- Run Awaaaaaay!!!

"KAGOME!"

"What's wrong now, Shippou?!" Kagome asked, poking her head out of the well.

"Don't leave! Inuyasha will beat me up!" Shippou whined.

Kagome sighed in irritation. Even cute little fox demons could be annoying sometimes. "We've been through this before. You know I have to leave or I'll miss school!" She ducked her head back into the well.

"BUT KAGOME!"

"Sorry, Shippou! I'll be back in a few days, I promise!" echoed the well.

"Buuut Kagooooomeee!" snickered a squeaky, high pitched teasing voice from behind him.

"Oh, shut up, you'll miss her too..."

"Keh!" snorted Inuyasha as he lifted Shippou by the tail. "Me? Miss her? Keh!" he repeated.

"PUT ME DOWN!" Shippou screamed in response as his tiny fists flailed in the air.

Laughing, Inuyasha dropped Shippou on his head, who scurried away towards the forest, grumbling about his aching tail.

Three hours later, Shippou stopped after finding himself lost deep in the forest. Gazing around, he finally decided to just keep walking. Step after step, Shippou crept through the forest. Then he heard a rustle. Startled, Shippou jumped. He looked in the direction of the sound. He shivered, then told himself, 'I have GOT to stop acting like a big chicken or else I'll never be a good demon!' He forced himself to tiptoe towards the bush, closer, closer, then- THUD. Shippou fell to the ground. Before he could even get up, he was hit again. Then again. And then many more times, until he screamed, "AHHHH! GET OFF ALREADY!!!"

The thing stopped, and muttered a quiet response in a tongue Shippou didn't recognize, yet strangely, understood.

"Eeep..... sorry.... I thought you were someone else. Are you ok?"

Shippou blinked and stood up. Kneeling in front of him was the most beautiful girl- no, demon- Shippou had ever seen. She was about his age with black hair in pigtails, green eyes, and a wolf tail. Shippou came back to reality and realized that he had been gaping at her.

"Hello? Hello! ARE YOU DEAF?!"

"Oh, uh, sorry, hi. I'm Shippou. Who are you?"

"My name's Keru-Keru, but everyone- that is, my mommy- calls me Keru." she replied as she stared strangely at Shippou.

"What are YOU looking at?" he snapped. "WHAT?! Is my hair messy? My clothes dirty? Hmmm...?"

"Um.....no. But...... I thought you were a boy." Keru said as her face turned a bright shade of pink.

"I AM a boy!!!" Shippou squeaked.

"Really?" Keru frowned. "Then why do you have a bow in your hair?"

"It's not a bow! It's a hair tie!"

"Oh." replied Keru, though she didn't really see the difference.

"Are you lost?" asked Keru.

"Ummmm..... sorta......"

"Well! I can help with that!" she replied. "Follow me!"

And off she ran with Shippou on her tail, who was feeling a little confused and a lot uncomfortable.

Well! Kinda short…but it's only the beginning! Please read and review or I might never wanna update again!! Just kidding…but please review anyways! It makes me happy! ^_^

Pink Arrow Kagome here! Some of you may know me from my own stories Syaoran's Three Wishes and Mistaken Identity or from my updating/editing of Foxshadow's stories. Either way, I'm doing the same for Shippou's Fire here, as I am for Foxshadow! That would be updating and editing for them because their computers refuse to cooperate and do it for them. So after reading and reviewing this kawaii little story, go and read mine! Muahahaha! Love ya all! *blows kisses*
