Fox Files

Inuyasha walked in his hut with two rabbits which were going to be the dinner. To his surprise he saw no Kagome in the main room. He sniffed and found her scent leading to Shippou's room. The curious hanyou dropped the rabbits in the kitchen area and walked towards the said chamber.

Shippou was often away for weeks, taking kitsune tests and wandering the world, but he was always coming back. He was a pretty handsome teen now, sporting two tails and pranking people here and there. But some things about him never changed - one being that he had a total mess in his room. Usually after his visit home there was a pile of clothes, notebooks, acorns and dry leaves in one corner of his room. For some reason Kagome always bothered to put all of that into place for the kid when he was gone.

Inuyasha stopped in the doorway and found Kagome sitting on the floor, holding one of Shippou's many sketchbooks. As soon as the miko saw her husband she looked up from the page she was reading.

"You know, I think that Shippou took a lot after Miroku," she said and handed him the sketchbook.

On top of the page was a small drawing of a girl's face. Beside it was her name and village where she lived, along with some info about her and her family. At the end was written a date of when Shippou had met her the last time The hanyou turned the page, then another one.

All were similar, some girls were human, some youkai. When he closed the notebook he saw the word WINTER written on it. It was spring. When the puzzled man looked at his wife she handed him the SPRING notebook, bookmarks sticking out of it.

"Feh,"

"Feh? That's all you have to say?" Kagome raised her eyebrows. "Our son has so many female friends he can't keep track of them."

"Yeah. It's not like he wasn't flirting with girls during the jewel shards hunt," the hanyou shrugged. "Come, woman, we have dinner to cook. You can talk to him about this when he comes home."

"Oh, no, mister! You're going to talk with him about this!"

"Uh..."

A/N: Poor Shippou, he doesn't know what awaits him at home this time ~cackles~
