Foolish Games

Lady-K: Hi guys, I wanted to let you all know that I have a new muse. His name is Kyela. It's Elven for love I wouldn't he's better that my previous muse, Shadow but he's definitely good. The ideas I have been having are just a little too much for Shadow to handle by himself so being the generous person that I am, I got him a partner. And besides Shadow doesn't really Inuyasha. He's more an YYH expert. So when I write Yu Yu Hakusho stories, Shadow will be the one helping me and Kyela will help with the Inuyasha ones.

Shadow: Whatever.

Lady-K: Spot sulking already.

Shadow: I'm not sulking.

Kyela: Yes, you are.

Shadow: no one was talking to you.

Lady-K: Come on Shadow, you don't have to be so jealous, you know.

Shadow: I'm not jealous.

Lady-K: Oh really. Then tell why you've been so mean to Ky.

Shadow: Ky?

Lady-K: yeah, I thought it was much cuter. Kyela sounds like a girl's name.

Shadow: You never gave me a nickname.

Lady-K: Well I never thought you would like one and besides it's kind of hard to come up with a nickname.

Shadow: Sure...

Lady-K: Well, why don't we let our wonderful readers read the story? In the mean I'll try to come with a nickname for you.

Chapter III: Making Amends...

"I wish Kagome-mama was here. Inuyasha wouldn't be so mean if she was here. She would have never let me walk in the woods by myself at night." These were the thoughts that went the little kitsune's head as he collected wood for the camp. Inuyasha has been in the worst of mood since Kagome left two days ago. He has been ordering the poor little kitsune around. He hit him on the head twice because Shippo called dog-breathe.

"Stupid dog..." He mumbled under his breathe.

The words had barely escaped his lips when he found himself being lifted in the air.

"What did you say?"

He was expected to see Inuyasha but instead it was Sesshoumaru.

"Did you call me stupid?"

Shippo shook his head vigorously.

"Do you want to die?" the demon lord asked.

He shook his head again.

"Can you talk?"

Shippo nodded. He was afraid if he said something Sesshoumaru might hurt him. Sesshoumaru eyed the little demon discordantly. He wasn't going to hurt but it was still fun watching him squirmed under his icy glare. He had often heard the little kitsune referred to Kagome as his mother. Speaking of which, he hadn't seen her for two days. He couldn't help but wonder where she was. Not that her care...well maybe he cared or he wouldn't be here right now trying to make amends with her. After the last time they talk, which was a week ago, he felt lower than dirt for the things he said to Kagome. So now he was trying to...apologize. Never in his years had he ever apologize.

"Where's your mother?"

"She...she...she..."

"Stop stuttering."

"She...she went home."

"When is she coming back?

"In the morning."

"Alright. I want you to give her this."

He handed him something wrapped in a silver paper and a small box.

"Give them to your mother. Don't tell anyone about it."

He nodded and Sesshoumaru left.

"I wonder what that is." He thought.

He held the wrapped object in his arms and put the little box inside his shirt. With his empty hand, he carried some woods. No sooner had he got back to camp, Inuyasha was all over him. And neither Sango nor Miroku were around. He gulped.

"Where were you, you brat and what the hell is that thing you're holding?"

"Don't touch it. It's for Kagome."

"Give me that."

"No leave it alone. It's for Kagome-mama."

Inuyasha yanked the paper from his hands and threw the crying Shippo on the ground. He ripped the paper to reveal the most beautiful kimono. It was made from the softest silk. It was dark purple with pink sakura blossoms on it. The inner kimono was made with the same material but it was a soft purple. The obi was dark purple with soft purplish stripes. It was absolutely breathtaking.

"Where did you get that?" he asked.

Shippo thought before he answered. If he said that it was from Sesshoumaru, who know what the stupid hanyou would do.

"Did you still it?"

"No, I didn't. It's a present for Kagome."

"From who?"

He never got the chance to answer because Kikyou walked into the clearing. Shippo wondered why Inuyasha didn't smell her before she got here. How could anyone not smell the foul odor of dirt and clay?

"Kikyou..." Inuyasha said.

"Evening, Inuyasha. What a beautiful kimono you got there."

"Kikyou..." he repeated almost in a daze.

"Is it for me?"

"No. it's for..." Shippo started.

"Shut up, you little runt." He yelled at the kitsune.

"Well, is it?" Kikyou asked again.

"Do you like it?"

"Of course. It's very beautiful."

"Then you can have it."

"You can give her Ka..."

Shippo never finished his sentence because Inuyasha hit him on the head then disappear with Kikyou in the woods. He couldn't go after them. Inuyasha would probably kill him before he could get the kimono back. He was just a small kit. There was nothing he could do. He was too weak. So he did the next best thing. He ran toward the well and sat there waiting for his mother to come back.

SKSKSKSKSKSKSKSK

Kagome pulled her heavy bag out of the well. She was feeling much better.

"Nothing like taking two days away from Inuyasha and his arrogant half-brother." She thought. Notwithstanding the fact that she was glad that she had went home for a few days, she had missed the feudal era. She had missed her friends and most of all Shippo. She was worried about leaving him with Inuyasha. Without her here, there was no telling to what he would to her adoptive son. Well he better not did anything to hurt Shippo or she's going to sit till every bone in his body was broken.

Kagome was about to put her bag on her shoulder when she sense shards from the Shikon no tama. They didn't seem to be far either. In fact they seem to be just a few feet away from her. Taking her bow and arrows out her bag, she slowly walked on the other side of the well. She was just about to fire when she noticed that it was only Shippo laying curled up into a ball on the ground. She immediately dropped her weapon and took him in her arms.

"Shippo...wake up."

"Mmmm..."

"Come on sweetie, wake up."

"Mama...it's that you?"

"Yeah. It's me Kagome."

"Mommy." He yelled, hugging her tightly.

"Shippo, what are you doing sleeping here all by yourself. You could have gotten hurt." She said.

Shippo burst into tears.

"Shippo, don't cry. I didn't mean to yell at you. I'm sorry. Please don't cry."

"Oh! Mama, it...it...was horrible." He sobbed.

"What was? What was horrible?"

"Inuyasha...he...he was...so...so mean to me."

"What did he do? Did he hurt you?"

Shippo nodded.

"That damned Inuyasha. Just wait till I get my hands on him." She fumed.

She tried to calm down the still upset kitsune as best as she could. She sat there with her back against the well, her son in her laps.

"Mama?"

"Yes."

"I'm sorry."

"Why?"

"Last night, when I was gathering woods in the forest, I saw Sesshoumaru."

"What did he want?"

"He wanted to give you a kimono and because you weren't there he gave it to me to give to you but Inuyasha took it and gave it to Kikyou. I tried to stop him but he hit me in the head."

"He took my kimono."

"Uhuhuhuh..."

"Oh! When I see Inuyasha is going to be in so much trouble."

"Mama?"

"What?"

"Sesshoumaru gave me this too."

He took the tiny box out of his shirt and handed it to Kagome. Kagome opened it and gasped. She was actually expecting some kind of jewelry but inside the box was three shards. "So that's why I fell the Shikon no tama." She thought.

"We better head back to camp. I'm sure Miroku and Sango are worried about you. And I have a dog to discipline." She said.

She hauled up her back and Shippo jumped in her arms.

"Shippo, I brought something for you."

"Did you bring Pocky?"

"Well yes, but I brought you something else."

"What is it, Mama?"

"You'll see."

A pair of golden eyes watched as the raven-haired beauty and the kit walked in the direction of her companions' camp. He had been sitting here all night after witnessing Inuyasha taking Kagome's gift and gave it to dead clay pot. He was furious. How dared he? The kimono was meant for Kagome. It was made especially for her but his idiotic half-brother took it. Well he just had to take it back. He wasn't going to give back to Kagome. Heavens no, the smell of that undead bitch might tint the wonderful smell of his Kagome. He will just shred it, if not along with the undead miko. And as for Kagome's gift, he would have another kimono made for her. One even more beautiful. Nothing was too good for his Kagome.

Lady-K: Well this is the end of the chapter. I hope you like it.

Ky: Yes, we work really hard on it.

Shadow: No you didn't. All you did was lounged around while L-K was writing the story.

Ky: I did not. I helped.

Lady-K: Yes, he did help me.

Shadow: humph...anyway did you come up with my nickname?

Lady-K: No

Shadow: Why not?

Lady-K: Well I was typing. I couldn't think while I was doing that. I was focusing on the story.

Shadow: You gave him a nickname.

Lady-K: Now Shadow, don't be like that. Ky's nickname was easier to come up with. Yours is not.

Shadow: You care about him more than you do me?

Lady-K: that's not true. You know I care about you. You were my very first muse.

Ky: no wonder he can't help you with your stories, he's ancient.

Shadow and Lady-K: Shut up, Kyela.

Lady-K: Shadow, let's be reasonable. If you're mad at me, who's going to help me finish my YYH stories.

Shadow: That's not my problem anymore. You have Ky now. You don't need me.

Lady-K: Yes, I do.'

Shadow: No you don't. All you talk about is Ky. Oh! Ky, you're so amazing. Oh Ky, you this, Ky you that. You never gave me any praises

Lady-K: Shadow...

Shadow: Leave me alone. I quit. (SLAMMING THE DOOR)

Lady-K: Shadow...

Lady-K: Well, my wonderful readers, I have to go find Shadow and apologize. Thank you for reading. If you have any question, just leave me a review with your email address and I will email you the answer. Thanks again...now to find shadow.
