The clothes fit her perfectly. They were old but they were still comfortable and soft. Kagome walked out of the room to where she had seen Keade go. The miko was taking off the bandages from the little fox demon when she came in. "How's he doing?" Kagome asked as she sat down next to Keade to overlook the kits wounds. "His wounds should be healed by this time tomorrow." Keade responded showing Kagome the wounds they were nearly half the size as they were yesterday, and they had stopped bleeding."
"You seem worried though." Kagome observed,
"He is healing fine but he wont eat anything." she said gesturing to the food that had been placed near the kit, but all of it was untouched. Suddenly an urgent knock sounded at the door. Keade rushed to it. A man was standing outside the door.
"Lady Keade! My wife, she has started to have the baby!!"
"I'll be right there," she said as the man nodded and rushed away. She went and grabbed a bag lying near the door. Kagome, rather unsure of herself, stepped towards the woman who was searching through her bag.
"Ye will have to stay here." Keade said, "do not go out side, this village has lived fearing demons and at the sight of you they could panic, and probably leave me with a lot of questions that I can not answer."
Kagome nodded understanding.
"If the Kit should wake, try to get him to eat." She said before disappearing out the door.
Kagome went back to the room with the Kit in it. He looked so peaceful, lying there. She lifted her clawed hand she gently stroked his belly. He purred at the touch and wrapped his small hands around her hand. Kagome smiled and tried to remove her hand but it was stuck fast in the Kit's tight grasp. She sighed and lay down next to the Kit, who in response snuggled up to her. She felt happy for the first time in what felt like a long time.

Kagome woke that morning with the feeling that someone was watching her. She opened her eyes to be greeted by a pair of bright green eyes. She smiled as she looked upon the Kit. His wounds seemed to not be bothering him because his eyes were full of curiosity, not of pain.
"Your the one who saved me." He concluded, after watching her for who knows how long. His voice made her smile,
"Yes, I did." She told him trying not to burst out laughing at the way his voice had sounded the way he said that made it seem like he had just figured out what made the word go around,
"May I have the pleasure of knowing the name of the one that I saved?"
"I'm Shippo." He said proudly.
"Well Shippo, My names Kagome." She said with a bright smile on her face that she had not allowed to be there for so long it felt good to finally let one (a smile) come out.
"You hungry?" Kagome asked, a smile still on her face.
Shippo turned and smiled back at her, "You bet I am!"
