Kagome sighed, finally getting the break she needed. Since she'd returned from the future to live in the past with Inuyasha, Kaede's village had been growing and expanding. Though Kagome never mentioned it, she knew that this quickly growing fishing and farming village would come to be called Yedo and would one day evolve into the large city known as Tokyo, her birthplace five-hundred years into the future. The past two weeks of her life in the village had been anything but calm. Everything had been hectic and stressful, making it so that Kagome had no time to spend with Inuyasha or anyone in fact. She very thankful for the break she had been given.
However her peace was quickly disturbed.
"Kagome-dono, Rin-chan's feet are bleeding again."
The little girl was covered in dirt; the beautiful kimono Sesshomaru had gifted her a while back stained green by the grass.
"Is it bad? Does it sting?"
"Hai, Kagome-dono." The little girl avoided eye contact, keeping her head bowed as she answered the miko.
Kagome got up, biting back the groan that threatened to rise out of her throat. She grabbed some bandages and cloth, motioning for the girl to come over to her. As Rin limped over to Kagome, causing Kagome to mentally remind herself to get Rin a new pair of geta or zori and tabi.
It wasn't as bad as Kagome had been mentally barring herself for but it was by no means good. It wasn't infected but it was bleeding more than just a little. She dipped the cloth in a bucket of water before pressing it to the wound. Rin hissed, obviously holding back tears.
"Rin-chan, we wouldn't have to go-"
"I don't like wearing shoes!"
Kagome shook her head at the girl's stubbornness. It was always like this, like Rin had to fight Kagome on everything. From wearing shoes to speaking in third-person, they could never agree on anything.
"Rin-chan, it'll help and save you from this pain. You know how much you hate having your feet bandaged," she said as she wrapped her feet.
"I'm not going to!" Rin hissed.
Yedo- another romanji for Edo
Zori- are flat, thonged Japanese sandals made of rice straw
Geta- Japanese sandals that resemble flip-flops or thongs. They have elevated platforms on the bottom.

Ps: I finally figured out why people call Kaede's village Yedo. I can't believe it took me so long! Anyways, reviews would be wonderful.
