Shippo sat silently as she talked. When she finished, he asked, "So you really don't know about him?"
She shook her head before looking at him suspiciously, "What do you know about him?"
"I know that he is dangerous in more ways than one. You shouldn't be around him, Kagome."
"You're dangerous too, you know."
Shippo bristled, "Well, yes, but I'm different! He's different! He's not 'fun' or anything like that. Please, Kagome. Stay away from him."
Kagome sighed, "I'll be careful, Ship."
The kitsune breathed out a sigh of relief. "Thank you."
Kagome smiled then attempted to get out of bed. She would have collapsed on the ground if it wasn't for Shippo.
