A/N: My first Inuyasha fic, I have just watched episode 68, "Shippo's Battle Royale" on adult swim on Cartoon Network in the US during a family vacation and totally fell in love with the featured duo, who may you ask? Shippou and Souten!!!

Read on!

Chapter One: Crayons

Ever since we battled on that day and obtained the box of the colorful writing instruments called "crayons" I have yearned to meet him again. For I won by a mere default due to the misconception of my gender. It angered me that HE surrendered just because I yelled out that I am a girl when the strange lady in a short kimono ran to hug me just because.....

I was cute.

Then, I was suddenly bewildered at his sudden change of attitude at soon as he handed me the box. He seemed nicer, yet it annoyed me a bit that he ended it just like that.
But I did not mind for long since I could do so much more with the box of "crayons" he gave me than the mere dull black ink I used in my writings.

I now treasured the box for it is rare to come across such colorful writing instruments around here, along with the picture that I drew of him. I must say, I was very talented in such things like sketching and drawing, especially writing. My battle strategies may have failed me then, but I was confident I succeeded in luring the perverted monk and his mistress demon slayer into my trap.

As for that picture....it allowed me to remember how he looked like then. And now, I shall summon him once again. To settle the score completely, make the revenge I
was required to do for having Inuyasha kill my brothers, Hiten and Manten, and remind him that he was just as childish as I was if not even more.

I admit, it's more on the childish behaviour and the competitive drive which is intact within me as well as my family. Though I may be the last of the Royal Thunder Demons, it did not mean that I would have easily picked a mate in order to continue the line. I have no interest whatsoever to having another hanyou to further taint my weak blood. Yes, I too am a hanyou. But I am thankful to inherit great powers from my demon side to outweigh my human weaknesses such as the monthly transformation all hanyous go through. Unfortunately I retain a somewhat human appearance with an exception of my eyes, ears, and fangs, claws, etc...just like all hanyous. But my hanyou blood reacts to the need of the human transformation which has to occur every rain of stars which happens every four years. By then, I'm completely human. Just like Hiten.

Now, years later after that fateful battle with the kistune Shippo I have stayed in my father's kingdom protecting it from invaders. Now it is a growing village for humans to live in and it is my duty to protect them. We have an agreement that if they make no mention of my being a "half-breed", then I do not allow any hurt to be inflicted upon them. As well as being loyal and true to their word, and I mine. Now, I am living in a kingdom of great prosperity that many wish to invade it. Some of the times, when invaders find out I am a woman, they back away saying that my village is not worth invading just because a woman protects it. Of course, there are some who pathetically need the ego-boost that they go on ahead and invade, but never winning due to my ingenious mind of my battle strategies.

I call Koryu, my friend and pet dragon to send the battle message to the fox kitsune, Shippou.

A/n: sorry for shortness. This will be a very short fic to help me get over the deleting of "This Promise"
