I'm back everybody! I hope you all enjoy this little number!

"Inuyasha! Guess what? Guess what?!" Shippo called excitedly from a couple feet away as he ran in his direction.

"What?" He replied in an annoyed tone. Shippo hadn't left him alone all day…

FLASHBACK

"Inuyasha!! I found a rock for fish!"

"Cool put it in the tank."

…

"Inuyasha I found some green water plants for fish!"

"Uh sure. Okay."

…

"Inuyasha I---"

"WHAT WHAT WHAT?!"

Shippo stared at him with watery eyes, "I found more rocks for fish."

END FLASHBACK

"I found a friend for fish!" He held out a net with a little blueish purple fish in it, struggling to cling to life.

"Well, Jesus Christ! DON'T KILL IT YOU DUMBASS!" Inuyasha snatched the net and ran back to Lady Kaede's and dumped the new fish into the tank. It floated motionless in shock for a moment but then swam around showing off its long deep blue fins. Shippo finally made it to Lady Kaede's hut out of breath.

"The fish," He spat out in a breathy tone, "How…is it?"

"It kicks our fish to shit in looks." Inuyasha replied with his eyes wide and on the fish. He flicked the tank and the new fish swiveled gracefully.

"Wow do we have an ugly ass fish," Inuyasha punched him on the head, "HEY!"

"Just because I say it doesn't mean you should."

"Hey Inuyasha, why don't you go look in the fish book Kagome gave you to find out about fish's new friend." Shippo suggested.

"Alright. Sounds like a good idea." With that, Inuyasha walked into the kitchen where the, "Wonderful Book of Fish" laid on the table and he picked it up. He slowly fingered through the smooth pages and eyed the brilliant illustrations and pictures of fish. He then found a picture that looked very much like the new fish in all its colorful beauty. The title on the page was, "The Betta-Siamese fighting fish"

"That's an odd name," Inuyasha thought as he skimmed through the description. Words that popped out at him were, "aggressive" "loners" "territorial" and to top it off, "does not get along with other fish and will fight to the death."

He could hear Shippo's voice from down the hall, "Oh yeah it's the fish WWE!!! Smackdown," Inuyasha's eyes grew incredibly large, "GOLDFISH! GOLDFISH! GOLDFISH!"

Inuyasha threw the book from his hands and dashed into the other room. The beautiful fantail betta was circling the goldfish, smacking it occasionally with its body.

"AHHHHHHh!!!" Inuyasha screamed a blood curdling as he shoved his hand in the tank and tried to grab the new fish. It moved so swift that it seemed impossible for anyone to catch it but Inuyasha did. He lifted it out of the water, still panicking and shouted at it.

"AHHHH…AHHHHH…..AHHHHh!!!!"

Inuyasha scampered out of the hut hastily holding the fish tight in his fist with no idea what he was going to do with the fish. Suddenly, it came to him.

"BEGONE MONSTER FISH!!!!!!!!" and he threw it with all his might into the air far, far away.

FISH WHISPERER'S PLACE

The cat demon eyed his bowl of fish hungrily, licking his lips. He turned around to get a plate and he heard a PLOP!

"Ah! What is this," He peered into the bowl, spotting a new delectable looking fish among his common ones, "What a treat this is…"

NIGHTTIME

Inuyasha stumbled to the well where his notebook laid on the grass beside it. He was entirely exhausted yet still anxious. Any little noise made him jump. 'Tis what happens when you stare at a fish the whole day watching for signs of injury.

TANKMATES

My lovely adopted son came to me one day upon the discovery of a very beautiful fish from the stream. Yes, it was nice to watch but not for long. It tried to kill the goldfish! It was agressive in hardly anytime at all! I acted quickly and removed the outsider fish from the tank.

Because of that, I can say: Fish do not need friends. Fish are fish. Fish are very unintelligent and forget what they were doing almost every minute. They live fine alone in a tank for your entertainment. But if you must have more than one fish…

TIPS

-read about fish breed compatibility

-make sure your tank is large enough to hold multiple fish

-the same type of fish normally mix well

-Betta fish you must be careful with. They are fish meant to be kept alone. There are very few fish they can be kept in a tank with…not even their own breed!
