Chapter 3

"Tell me what happened." Kagome demanded softly.

Rin sniffed, wiped her eyes free of tears then spoke. "Lord Sesshoumaru and Master Jaken left, but told me and AhUn to wait in the valley where we were at. while they were gone, a bunch of demons attacked us. AhUn was fighting them, I turned and ran to find help, but some of the demons saw and followed me."

Kagome smiled gently and then gently squeezed ehr arm in comfort, "Let's go back to this valley and get AhUn." She suggested, seeing that the child was shaken up badly, and nearing tears. Picking up Shippo, Kagome allowed Rin to grasp her hand and lead her to the valley where they found the two-headed dragon finishing off the rest of the demons.

"AhUn!" Cried the young girl, who ran from the miko's side to the dragon.

Kagome was smiling at them when the dragon finally noticed her presence and let out a deafening roar, looking like he was about to tear her to pieces. Without hesitation, Rin chimed in quietly, trying to calm the dragon, "No AhUn. Kagome helped me.."

AhUn watched the young priestess for a moment, then walked up to her, rubbing both his massive heads against her gently in a silent 'thanks'.

Kagome smiled wider, but then heard him groan out in pain, wincing as he did. It was then that she noticed several gaping gashes on the large dragon's side. Gasping at the sight, she set shippo down and said lowly, "Shippo stay here with them."

"Where are you going?" Shippo asked, his voice full of worry.

"To go get my bag and my bow." She answer calmly.

"Be careful." The kitsune kit whispered to her, his features doused in worry.

Trying to ease his worry the tiniest bit, Kagome bent down and kissed his forehead, "I will." She said, and ruffled his hair before getting up and sprinting towards Kaede's village. When she neared, she slowed to a walk and slowly made her way to the hut she and her friend's used to stay in. Peaking in quietly, she glanced around. Well it looked empty.

"I'll just grab my stuff and go.." She mumbled quietly to herself, grabbing her large yellow pack, slipping the straps over her shoulders, then was reaching for her bow when an old voice called out, "Kagome, child is that you?"

Kagome turned to Kaede, who'd walked in to retrieve her own bow and arrows, then said quietly, "Yes.. Yes it is Kaede."

"Were you just going to go without saying goodbye?" The old woman asked kindly.

"I was just trying to get in and get out before Inuyasha caught my scent and came for me.." She replied softly, her eyes locking on the ground below her feet, which really was not that interesting.

"I see.. Shall i tell Sango and Miroku that you bid them farewell?" The kind lady asked, noting the sad tone the miko was speaking with.

"Yes, but tell them not to worry and that we will see each other again soon enough." And with that, Kagome turned and quickly disappeared through the entrance of the hut, leaving the small village behind as she raced back to help AhUn.

When she arrived she sent Shippo to go get some cool water while she instructed Rin to keep AhUn as calm as possible.

Dipping a cloth into the cool contents of the bucket of water Shippo had returned with and ringing it out, she began to clean the blood from around the wound. After that she applied an ointment to help fight off infection, then began to bandage it.

When she was down, she studied her work for a moment before approving it, then she gave the two children and the two-headed dragon some snacks before sitting against AhUn's other side, exhausted from the days events. Her eyes began to flutter shut as she began to pass out, until eventually her head slumped to the sighed a bit, acknowledging her unconsciousness. She had not even thought about how the Lord of the Western Lands, Sesshoumaru, would react to her.

As Kagome slept, Rin and Shippo followed her example falling into a snooze short after the miko, awaiting the taiyoukai's return, which came sooner then they had been expecting.

Kagome's breathing was deep, showing just how gone in slumber she was, when a tall shadow passed over her slim form, but she didn't even twitch unlike Shippo and Rin who woke up instantly. Shippo looked up wide eyed and frightened, then turned and gave Kagome's arm a shake, trying to wake her up. When she groaned softly about five more minutes and shifted a bit, Shippo shook her harder, but it was the fear wafting off him that alerted her enough to cause her to sit up. she rubbed her eyes, then realized something was blocking the sun, and slowly her eyes traveled up. Blinking in shock her mouth parted and her voice squeaked out of her lungs. "Hi."

Once again, I hope you Enjoyed Chapter 3. Please Review! Remember Chapter 4 is going to be really short, and im sorry about it. Hope you keep reading.
