Sorry this took long. I've been working, writing other stories, having writers block and being lazy. If you check my profile thing there are news of NEW HARVEST MOON GAMES coming out sooner or later.

It had been a long day for Jill. She laid on her bed looking up to the ceiling. There were some small cracks that could be easily fixed. 'Did I do the right thing?' Jill sat up and looked at Midna. She was sleeping near the edge of the bed. 'Was it a mistake to make Jamie a rival?' Jill remembered all the times she was with Jamie. None were pleasant. 'Why shouldn't I be his rival! Considering all he's done!'

flash back

"HA! WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT!!!!" Jamie smirked. Out of the blue a sword appears in Jamie's hands. It was the same sword that Jamie used to fight the Gor. 'Jamie must of fixed it…. That's not good.' Jamie swung the sword at Jill but was blocked by Midna. A hand came out of Midna's wolf form back. (she's like a shadow. She can transform into anything and into any shape.) it grabbed hold of Jamie's sword and threw it away. Throwing Jamie with it. Max now attacks but was repealed back as Midna in circles Jill as a shield.

"Hang on Jill" Midna said as Jill was incased in darkness, "I'm going to get us out of here!" Midna spoke a tongue no one has heard for thousands of years and vanishes. Leaving a confused half-demon and his wolf.

'thank goodness Midna teleported us out of there.' Jill started patting Midna which made her purr. 'I just wish it didn't take so much energy to do it.' right when Midna teleported in to their living room Midna was out cold. 'I'm happy she's ok. I don't know what I do with out her!' after scratching Midna's ears for ten minutes Jill slipped under the covers and went to sleep.

"I HATE HER!" Jamie yelled as he pased back and forth, "She now has TWO crystals! I need to get them from her! But, how? She has that Shadow demon with her! How can I get them with that demon in the way!"

"I don't know, Jamie." Max said laying in his bed. He's been watching Jamie yell and pase for over an hour. He was getting tired. "I thought all the shadow demon were extinct, but I guess I was wrong."

"So your saying were screwed!" Jamie punched the wall, leaving a big hole. "I can't give up to that human! There must be something we could do……… I got it!"

Jill was getting dressed as Midna still recovered. Jill let her friend sleep a little longer and went out to feed Daisy. Jill cared the bird seed that was in her tool chest to the chicken coop.

Jill dropped the bag as she got in. Someone was in the coop. and it wasn't Daisy. There sleeping in the pile of hay was Ray. His back was against the wall, with his head resting on his right shoulder. There sitting on Ray's head was Daisy. She woke up as she saw Jill come through the door. She started to chirp and bounced of to Ray's head to Jill. This caused Ray to sir and wake up. First his left eye, then his right. He looked up to see Jill standing in front of the door. Ray jumped from where he was sleeping to the corner of the coop. His face was lightly red when he noticed Jill staring at him.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"What Am I doing here!?! Jill yelled. "What are you doing in my chicken coop!?"

Ray looked confused and looked around his surroundings. He realized he wasn't in his house. 'what am I doing here?… oh yeah I remember now!'

"I was in town to get my new fishing," He explains, "I run into the mayor who tells me about the new arrival; you, and about the up coming festivals. When he was finally done talking, it was late. I was tired and didn't want to walk all the way back to my house and I didn't have money to stay in inn. I found this chicken coop and thought it would be ok." He kind of blushed for his laziness.

"I hope your not mad at me." he said a little guilty.

"I'm not mad." Jill said "I was just surprised seeing a guy in the chicken coop."

"I didn't mean that." He explained, "I meant about yesterday." He looked down knowing that everything she said was true and how he treated her.

"That's ok too," She could see he really was a nice guy, "You didn't know me. You were just being careful."

He seemed happy after what Jill said. He got up and brushed the hay off. Jill couldn't help but giggle, as he missed the straw in his hair.

"What?"

"You got some straw in your hair." he tried finding them and getting them out. Not much luck. Jill decided to help the poor fisherman.

"giggle let me help you." She walked up to Ray and started grabbing straw from his hair. He was fine with her helping until he realized how close she was. She got closer and closer, so she could get the strands of hay that were on top of his head. He froze and his face turned read. They were 5 centimeters away from touching.

"There we go!" Jill said as she walked away a little. She didn't seem to notice how close they were.

"Um-thank you." His face went back to it's normal color. "I should be heading back. It was nice meeting you again, Jill."

"Ok," Jill said waving as he was leaving, "Next time you need a place to stay there's a comfortable couch with your name on it!"

"Ok!" He laughed at her statement and disappeared.

"Who was that guy?" Midna asked. Jill jumped from the voice to find Midna standing next to her.

"Oh, Midna." Taking a big breath. "You scared me!"

"Sorry, Jill." Midna looked up to her friend, "Didn't mean to scare you. So, who was he?"

"He's names Ray. I met him in the woods, yesterday. He slept in the chicken coop because he was to lazy and tired to go home." Jill paused for a second, "He's a nice guy."

"Oh…" Midna said a little disappointed

"What do you mean 'Oh'?" Jill asked.

"I thought he was more than a 'nice guy'." Midna answered.

"What gave you that idea?" Jill didn't know how Midna got such of an idea.

"Well, Seeing you so close to him; almost touching, I thought you two were 'liking' each other." Midna couldn't help smirking.

"I was getting straw out of his hair!" Jill was a little flushed. "First of all I just met the guy and second he probably already has a girlfriend."

"So, you do want to be his girlfriend." Midna teased.

"Midna, you know I didn't mean that!"

"I know, but I love teasing you." Midna smiled of enjoyment. "but, Jill I do think you should try to get a boyfriend."

"Why do you want me to get a boyfriend?" Jill asked.

"So I can tease you more." Jill gave Midna a glare. "I'm kidding! I just think a girl your age needs a male companion."

"Midna I'm only fifteen."

"Yeah, but that didn't stop you from running a farm." 'Ouch! She got me there!' Jill thought, "Also most girls your age already had at least one date."

"Midna, I'm not going boy hunting." Jill said. "I just haven't found the right guy yet."

"I know, Jill." Midna stood near Jill's feet. "If you do like someone you'll tell me, right?"

"You'll be the first one to know." She picked up her kitty cat and scratched her ears. Jill looked at Midna who looked tired. "Are you ok, Midna?"

"I'm still weak from teleporting." Midna closed her eyes getting ready to go back to sleep. "I wish I wasn't so weak. I use to be able to teleport to town to town with no sweat. Now, I pass out if I teleport to go to the other side of town."

"I don't think you weak, Midna." Jill was bringing Midna back into the house so she can rest. "Your still more powerful than most demons."

"That's true," Midna agreed, "I just need a few more hours of rest." after saying that Midna dosed off. Jill placed her friend on the couch and covered her in a blanket.

For a few hours Jill watered the plants, clear the rest of the Garden, plant more seeds, water them, and have lunch.

Jill got a basket, an axe, and her upgraded hammer and headed out. Jill decided to walk up the cliff since she heard people saying there was honey, berries, herbs, and other things. She thought it might help Midna more if she gave her some herbs.

It was a little steep but Jill could manage. After collecting some herbs and flowers for an hour, Jill sat down to rest under the shade of a tree. Jill puts her back up against the tree and rested for a half a hour. After the rest, Jill scanned the area and did a double take when she saw something. Someone. It was that doctor Jill met on her first full day at Flower bud village (I renamed it.). He was on his hands and knees looking for something in the bushes. That guy still gave Jill the creeps. Too bad where he was sitting was the same place Jill had to pass to reach the little wooded area near the goddess cave. 'Great. Just great. What am I going to do? I need to go that way to get the honey. He looks occupied maybe I can just walk right past him!'

Jill got up and walked straight towards Alex. When Jill was a few yards away her muscles tensed up. She made her strides longer and picked up her pace. So far he didn't notice her. 'Yes!' right when she was going to pass him his head shot up to look at her. She stopped dead in her tracks. 'NO! wait, are his eyes red!?!' Jill checked again but his eyes were normal. He stared at her, wait for her to explain why she was here.

"um, hi Alex." her voice showed she was a little afraid of him. "I'm just getting some honey… w-what are you doing?"

He went back to looking in the bushes. It was quiet for a few seconds before he answered. "I'm looking for dark green herbs. I'm out."

"Oh!" Jill went threw her big basket where she had ten dark green herbs. "I found these when I was walking up here. You can have them." He turned up to face Jill. Jill was more uneasy then before. How he stared at her made her think he was trying to read her mind. Like he was trying to figure out her motive.

"Your patients need them more than me." Jill quickly gave; almost shoving, the herbs to Alex. She started walking away. "Bye, Alex!"

Once he was out of sight she stopped and let out a sigh. 'Well that was better than last time.' She continued to walk. Over the bridge, Jill finally got to the wooded area. She found bee hives that were left unguarded, filled with honey. It took a little over an hour to climb the tree, get the hive and put it in jars. Jill noticed some berry bushes. While she was picking berries, Jill had a weird feeling that she was being watched.

Joe sat up in a tree, listening to the wind and the water fall not to far from here. He liked coming here. He likes watching the sprites run like chickens who had their heads chopped off. They were all getting ready for winter. They need to stock up before it snows and everything dies. Joe was snapped out of thought when he heard foot steps. He moved farther away from the trunk to get a better view of this visitor. 'Jill!' Joey was just about to get out of the when he sat back down again. 'Brother told me not to talk to her.' sigh.

Flash back

"Hey, Jill!" He said trying to raise her spirit, "I caught some fish today!"

"Fish?"

"Yeah!" He showed Jill his basket that was filled with fish. 'those are a lot of fish' "Do you want some Jill?" Before Jill could answer Joe handed her some fish. Joe smiled sweetly until some think caught his attention.

"Um, I got to go Jill," He said as he walked away, "Cheer up! You look cuter when your smiling!" Joe ran off leaving Jill with a fish.

Joe ran up to his brother who was watching his little brother talking to that girl. Joe new Kurt didn't want him to see Jill. Joe didn't know why.

"Joe, I told you not to talk to her." Kurt had his arms crossed and was leaning on a tree. He looked at his brother waiting for his answer.

"I know, but she looked so sad today." Joe said "I wanted to cheer her up!"

"Why do you care about her?"

"Because she's cute and nice." Joe thought for a third reason. "and I want to be friends with her!"

"You can't Joe." Kurt stopped leaning up agent the wall and walked up to Joe. "Not with out blowing our secret."

"But I won't blow our cover-"

"Joe! You are not to talk to her, you understand."

"But Kurt-!"

"Understand!?!"

"I understand." Joe lowered his head. He couldn't argue with his brother. Kurt just wanted what was best. And some times he was wrong of what was best. Kurt gave him a look that told Joe, he understood but he just could see her. Kurt walked away leaving the sad Joe.

end of flashback

'I wish I could talk to her or play with her.' Joe's depressed state was struck by a brilliant idea. 'Kurt said he didn't want me to talk to her…. But she'll think I'm weird if I don't talk….. Unless I someone else.' A grin spread across Joe's face. 'or something else.'

Jill was just finishing picking berries when she heard something moving behind the bushes. Jill got up from the ground and stared at the bushes. Jill could hear footsteps coming towards her. Right before the creature went through the bushes to reveal itself, it let out a growl-like-scream. Jill panics and starts running. Before she got far she noticed the scream turn to a whimper and she stopped. She heard the creature whimpering in pain. 'It sounds like it's in pain. Maybe I should help. But, what if it a demon or crazy wild animal.' Jill heard more cries of pain. 'Sometimes I hate being nice.'
'OW!!!! THAT HURTS!!!' Joe laid down on the ground whinny about the pain. A bear trap got a good hold on to his arm. 'stupid human trap. Jill probably ran away when she heard me. There's no way I can get this trap to realize me without someone's help.' Joe heard the bushes in front of him moving. He stared up, Thinking the only possible thing it could be was the hunter to find out it's,-
Jill cautiously went through the bushes hoping and praying that this wasn't a trap to get eat by a demon. She found herself standing in front of a dog. It had medium length brown fur and brown eyes. It was in good shape and had an adorable face. It started to wag it's tail when it saw Jill. Jill saw the source of the dogs pain. His front left leg was snared into a bear trap. "Poor doggy!"

'Doggy? Oh right, I'm in my dog form now. Got to make sure not to talk. That really would freak her out… and make Kurt very angry.' Jill go closer to Joe to see his damaged paw. Jill touched it and he whimpered. 'I have to open this trap' Jill thought.

"Hang on doggy, I'll get you out of here!" Jill said as she started pulling the Jaws of the trap apart. The trapped cut her fingers but kept going. It took all of her strength to move them far apart for the "doggy" to get his paw out. When his paw was free Jill quickly release, making it snap back. Jill say the wound was a little deep and blood coming down it's leg. Jill went through her Basket and found her handkerchief. She puts the cloth on the dog and ties it tight. Joe whimpers in pain.

"I'm sorry doggy, but I have to tie it tight or you'll lose more blood." Jill stroked Joe's fur hoping it would help. Besides the pain Joe was enjoying himself. 'She knows right were to scratch!'

"There you go!" Jill finished tying the Handkerchief to his leg. "That wound needs to be clean before it gets infected. I got something that will help. Come on Doggy!"

Joe didn't know where she was bringing him but went anyway. Joe tried walking with only three legs which was a challenge for him. It took a half an hour to get down the cliff which could of took Jill less than 15 minutes.

They finally reached to there destination. Jill's house. 'Cool! I get to go into Jill's home!' Joe thought. Jill opened the door to find Midna nowhere to be found. 'can't she wait until I get home before going somewhere.' Jill sighed and let the injured dog in. Jill quickly got pillows and laid them on the floor.

"Rest here doggie while I get something for that wound." Joe did what he was told and laid down. 'this is comfy. I wonder what Jill is doing?'

Jill comes back with ingredients in her hands. She walks over to the kitchen and starts boiling water. She puts some herbs she found to day and other ingredients. After 15 minutes she pours the stuff in to a strainer. The water went into the boil but the herb in the strainer.

Jill walked over with the water (that doesn't look like water anymore), the herb, and bandages. Jill takes of the blood stain cloth and replaced it with the herbs. After she covered his wound with herbs, she bandaged up to make the herbs stay. she puts the boil down with the purple liquid in it.

"It may taste funky, but it will get you stronger in no time!" Jill said. Joe took a lick and made a face. 'man, Jill wasn't kidding! this is funky!' Jill laughed at the faces Joe was making. Joe kept drinking it, believe Jill's word that it make him better. It taste less funky the more Joe drank it, so it wasn't so bad. After finish the funky water he felt really tired. He looked up at Jill who already had her pajamas on. He gave Jill a big yawn and Jill laughed.

"Yeah, That's one of the side effects." Jill said as put a pillow and a blanket on the couch. "you can stay the night. You can leave in the mourning if your leg is better."

Jill got on the couch and got conformable. 'why is she sleeping on the couch? Doesn't she have a bed?' Joe looked at Jill confused. "Well if, your in pain I won't be able to hear you from upstairs. Also I don't want you being lonely down here." Joe could see that it was the other way around. 'you're the one who doesn't want to be lonely.' Joe thought.

"Goodnight." After saying that she shut of the lights and fell asleep on the couch. Joe fallow her.

Joe woke up not knowing where he was. He started to freak out until he say Jill. She was still fast asleep on the couch. The memories of what happen came back to him. He looked around to find a clock. It read 4:23. Joe stood up, which made him realize he changed back into human form when he was sleeping. 'Good think she didn't wake up.'

Joe looked at his arm to realize it didn't hurt. He took the bandages to realize his wounds were healed. Almost. There were only scars. Joe thought those would disappear in three days.

'I should go. Kurt must be worried about me. Man, he's going to be mad at me when I get home.' He went up to Jill who was shiver because her blanket fell to the floor. Joe took it and covered her up. She stopped shivering and went into a peaceful slumber.

"Sweet dreams, Jill." He gave Jill a little kiss on the forehead and headed out the door.

"Where were you!?!" Kurt was angry. No, not just angry. He was pissed also. You could see by the bags under his eyes he's been up all night waiting for Joe.

"Well you see-"

"You were with her!" Kurt said Angrily.

"Her who?" Joe said playing dumb.

"JILL YOU MORON!!"

"Why do you say that?"

"I can smell her on you." Joe could see rage flaming in his brothers eyes. Kurt was shaking in rage. He feared his brother was going to hurt him (Which Kurt has never done) or worse Jill (Which is probable of happening). Kurt looks down at Joes arm and his eyes widen. He grabs Joes arm; making sure not to touch the scars, and questioned him. "How did you get these scars!?! Did SHE do this!?!"

"Well you see," Joe didn't know if he should tell him the whole truth or lie. He decided to do both. "Well you see I was just strolling around when I felt like I wanted a good run. So I transformed in to my dog form; making sure no one saw me first, and ran. Well I was running so fast I didn't see the bear trap up ahead. I couldn't get out of it. I thought I was going to be stuck there all day. Then Jill comes along; thinking I'm a helpless doggy, freed me. She brought me to her home and gave me this weird medicine that helped my wound. I fell a sleep but, woke up before she did and came back here." Joe looked at his brother, hoping he would believe it. Kurt seemed to be thinking about what his twin brother just said.

"Joe, next time watch were your going." 'Yes! He bought it!' Kurt was heading to his room suggesting Joe did the same. There room wasn't really big. It only had a closest, two beds and a night stand separating them.

"Put some cloths on, Joe." Kurt said as he got into bed. "Make sure, in the morning, you go get them."

Joe was wrapped up in a blanket that he "borrowed" from Jill. Joe was lucky no one saw him when he ran back home. "Ok, brother." Joe slips into his bed that's right next to Kurt's. He couldn't help but think of Jill and how she helped him. 'I wish I could be friends with her but, brother is so mean, sometimes. Why does he think I'm going to tell her our secret. The secret that were dog demons. Jill would probably be afraid of me if she found out. If only I could get Kurt to trust Jill.' Joe got a big grin on his face. 'Then I could be friends with her!'

"Why are you smiling, Joe?" Kurt was lying on his bed wander, what was his brother thinking. He knew his little brother had a "Great Idea." by the grin he had. And usually those "Great Ideas" are the worse.

"Oh, nothing." Joe said as he turned to his side. 'Kurt, I'll show you Jill can be trusted.'

I hope you liked this Chapter. Also would still like Ideas. I couldn't think of a better name than Doggy! for the chapter.
