InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Hardened Heart ❯ Chapter Seven ( Chapter 7 )

Sirius Black had arrived a day early to pick up his niece. When he'd arrived the town was buzzing with news of a girl with an aura that radiated pure power. He put no truth in this rumor and walked into the pet shop to look at what had come in. An ebony haired girl was standing in front of a fox's cage, her hand raised to its nose. It yipped and she touched the lock on the cage. It melted under her fingers and the fox hopped into her open arms. Her dark blue eyes flashed in pleasure. The man who was working at the counter backed away from the two. Sirius raised a brow and walked up the store clerk.

"What's wrong." the man was trembling violently.

"That fox is vicious! We weren't able to even give it away and now it's acting like some kind of lap cat." The girl was staring deep into the fox's dark green eyes. It then cuddled close to her and she moved towards the store clerk, who was backing away.

"How much for young Shippo here?" her voice was quiet and gentle yet held a layer of danger to it.

"Just take it and go please." she shrugged lightly and placed the kit upon the floor.

"Come Shippo, let's go find out just where my curiosity has brought us." the fox yipped in agreement and followed her as she left. Sirius wanted to laugh at her actions and words but thought the better of it and decided to see what his godson was doing at this moment.
