It was all over. He was too tired, too weak, and too lost to fight back.
"Keh, keh, keh," the bear demon cackled, "Is the little kid out of tricks? Hmph, guess I'll just have to put you out of your misery!" It swung its sharpened claws down, ready to decapitate the child when a glowing pink arrow appeared from seemingly nowhere and struck the bear in the side.
The demon let out a pained screamed before it was reduced to dust.
For a few moment, the younger demon sat there, stunned. Then the foliage that the arrow had come from began to rustle.
The boy shrunk back into the bark of the tree behind him, hoping that whatever had shot the projectile wouldn't notice him. He didn't feel like being reduced to ashes like the one before him.
But, it came as quite the surprise when from the foliage appeared a young girl clad in strange clothing.
She pulled a few leaves from her skirt and walked over to him. His face must have been the picture of terror because the girl halted in her approach.
"Don't worry," she spoke softly, "I'm not going to hurt you."
"D-do ya promise?" the child asked. The girl smiled and nodded, causing the child to relax slightly.
"My name's Kagome," the newly-dubbed Kagome told him while slowly coming closer.
"I-I'm Jin," the child sniffled, allowing Kagome to sit in front of him.
She gently took his hand and slowly examined it to check for injuries. She continued the process with the rest of his body, using her miko powers whenever necessary. But, she was extra careful not to accidentally purify the poor little thing.
When she was finally done, she said, "Well, Jin, you're fine now," she watched as he examined his arms in amazement, "Do you need any help getting home?"
Jin opened his mouth to reply when a gruff voice shouted, "Kagome! Where the hell are you? We have to get going!"
A silver-haired hanyou burst through the bushes and marched towards the two, "Do you realize how long you've kept us waiting? If we don't find the jewel shards before Naraku- What is that?" The dog-eared hanyou pointed at little Jin who, after the abrupt entry, had shrunk down behind Kagome.
Kagome, however, was not afraid of the half-demons outburst. In fact, she looked rather irked.
"Inuyasha," she growled, "SIT!" The beads around Inuyasha's neck glowed pink and dragged him to the ground.
Jin laughed at the dog's discomfort, "Ha-ha, that'll teach ya to mess with ol' Kagome now, won't it Rover?"
"Why you!" Inuyasha leapt up at the child, but any chances of attacking were squashed when Kagome sat him once more.
"That's enough, Inuyasha," Kagome said, then she turned to Jin, "Please don't provoke him, it just makes him harder to deal with."
"Ah, right sorry I am Miss. Kagome. I didn't mean to be so much trouble. I just enjoy a good laugh is all," Jin said, his strange accent very evident now that he wasn't stuttering.
The young priestess smiled at him, "So, do you need help getting home?"
He shook his shaggy red head, "Nah, I was just tired is all. Thank ya very much and 'twas a pleasure to meet ya," then he looked over at the slightly-battered Inuyasha, "You too Mr. Inuyasha."
Once he was done saying pleasantries, Jin summoned his wind and shot up into the sky.
"What a cute kid," Kagome said as she watched the demon race off.
"Tch," Inuyasha snorted, "Good riddance." And then the two walked back to the rest of their troupe.

A/N: Just a cute little scene between Jin and Kagome. It's not really romantic, it's just…sorta…cute, I guess. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed!
