So Midori got to meet Izayoi in the last chapter. Her parents don't know that their daughter just gave the blankets meant for family, to a demon lover and her hanyou son. Hopefully they don't figure that one out.

Now, you guys know that the real owner of the Inuyasha series isn't on FanFic, and I'm on Fanfic, thus, I don't own Inuyasha in any shape or form. It would be pretty cool if Rumiko was on Fanfic though O.o

Chapter 3: Is Friends Okay?

I got to talk to Izayoi for enough time for me to walk to my aunt and uncle's and back. I did want to stay longer but I knew my parents were going to start to worry. I got a big hug before I left and I noticed that she was so cold, which made me feel so proud of myself for bringing the blankets here.

"Stay warm Izayoi, bye," I waved on my way out the door.

"I will, goodbye."

I shut the door behind me and noticed the storm clouds above. I do have to get home before it down pours.

We got to talk about a lot of stuff, like Inuyasha's father that was dead now, his step brother Sesshomaru that he's never met, and how life has been like living here. She didn't sound bitter about it, she sounded like she was blessed, being able to live anywhere. It's like she was a saint or something! If I had to live like her, I would be pissed at the people who forced me to live in a little shack like that. Especially if I was a single mother. But she was happy to just have a roof over her head and a meal over the fire everyday.

I made it over to the bridge before having my shoulder yanked at. I fell backward and landed on my back.

I opened my eyes and Inuyasha stood above me. "What are you doing here?!" he demanded.

"Hey," I sat up and shook my finger at him, "that hurt a little you know. You should apologize!"

He straightened his back in surprise. "…Sorry."

"Good, now help me up." He held out his hand and I took it and made it onto my feet. "There. Now what was your question?"

He shook his head then scratched it. "Um…oh yeah! Why are you here?!" Wasn't as intimidating the second time.

"No reason really. Had to bring something to my family the village that way," I pointed in the general direction.

"Then why did you just come out of my house?"

"Busted," I laughed. "Your mom invited me inside for tea; it's an awfully cold day today. I did realize something though."

He crossed his arms over his chest. "What?"

"We should be friends!"

"…What?"

"I mean my parents can't know but your mom likes me. I don't have anything against you and I don't really like any of the other kids in the village. You know? It could be a lot of fun!"

He stared at me dumbfounded. "Wha…What?"

I rolled my teal eyes. "Do I seriously have to repeat myself?

"Uh…you want to be friends?"

"Yeah," I nodded quickly. "Do you want to be friends?"

"You could be in a lot of trouble for that."

"As long as my parents don't find out the truth I don't care." I smiled at him brightly. "I don't see why we can't hang out."

"Um…I…I guess it would be okay…"

"Great! I would stay but," the rain started to fall and in seconds it started to down pour, "oh my god! Bye Inuyasha!"

We waved to each other then ran home. My house was a bit farther away so I was completely soaked by the time I got back.

I made it inside the house and my parents were gone. Mom was working in the rice fields and Dad in the vegetable fields; they should be back soon enough since there's no need to work in the rain.

I curled up under a blanket after I took my wet dress off. I started a pot of hot water over the fire so my mom could make tea when they got back.

I'm friends with Inuyasha, and the funny thing is, I hope that everyone figures it out. I could be in a lot of trouble by my parents though. It better be nice out tomorrow though, so I can go play with Inuyasha. I might get away with it but if my parents are stuck inside again, there's little to no chance that I'll get out. I smiled to myself. I have a friend, and he's a hanyou. How cool is that?

Mom and Dad suddenly flew inside and slammed the door behind them as the thunder roared and the lightning lit up the sky.

"Whoa, it's really coming down out there," Dad chuckled, shaking himself off. "Welcome home by the way Midori."

"Yeah, welcome home," Mom greeted, squeezing the water out of her clothes. "Where are the blankets? I mean, how'd Yuki and Reni like them?"

"They didn't want them," I replied, knowing that the next time we visit I'd get busted for it. "I gave it to someone who paid for it."

"How much did you make?" dad asked shocked.

"Not much, I spent it on a cup of a tea. Made sure I stayed warm before heading back, ya know?"

"Oh, smart girl," Mom grinned, patting my head. "A good cup of tea does sound good right now doesn't it?"

"It does," my dad agreed.

"Dad, is the storm going to be let up by tomorrow?" I asked while we were all circled around the fire.

"It should be all cleared up in no time, it looked like those clouds were moving pretty fast," he responded. "Did you have plans or something?"

"No, just wondering. Maybe I'll pick flowers or something, wouldn't that be nice? Have some flowers around here?"

"That sounds like a very good idea honey, here," she handed me a cup of tea. "It's nice to get out of work though. Right?" She nudged my Dad.

Mom and Dad slipped into their own conversation but I didn't mind. Don't need them snooping around in my plans. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to hanging out with the only person that people have banned me from seeing.
