Totosai heard something outside and carefully peered through the door of his humble dwelling. No angry customers demanding crazy blades, no crazy customers demanding weapons of mass destruction... Not even a sign of Inuyasha bringing Tessaiga for a check up.

"Hello?" Totosai looked down and spotted a tiny figure standing before him. It was a kitsune boy, his bushy tail and ponytail orange like flames, green eyes sparkling with home and excitement.

"Hello," said Totosai, a bit unsure what to do with the kid. He wasn't a kid person and he was old enough to not remember his own childhood.

"Um, I'm Shippou." said the boy. Totosai scratched his head. "Inuyasha's kid," the boy added after a minute, since the old smith was still clueless.

"Ah! That Inuyasha, did he break his beautiful sword again?"

"What? No!" Shippou shook his head.

"So, why are you here?" Totosai tilted his head to the side. The boy lifted his hand to show him what he held in his closed fist.

"Would you make a sword for me?" asked the kitsune hopefully, presenting proudly his missing tooth. "I can catch fish for you as a payment!" he added, hoping to convince the smith.

Totosai sighed. Somehow he just knew Inuyasha was behind the boy's request.

One thing was for sure - he really would like to eat some fish.

A/N: I know it isn't much, but I was quite busy lately and stuff, so yeah.
