Hello again. Sorry, I haven't been updating as often but I have another fic besides this one plus I have something of a life. So on with the chapter.

Chapter 8: True Friends

Lin walked into the village still thinking about what Myoga had said. It would be nice to know about my parents. I hope Myoga is right about those half demons. As Kaede's hut came into view and her thoughts shifted to her new friends. I hope they don't mind me going. I know I promised to help them defeat Naraku but I need to know. It's not like I won't help them when I'm done. I hope they understand.

Lin entered the hut and quickly noticed everyone was asleep. She tiptoed over to an empty spot and disturbed only InuYasha and Kilala. They quickly settled back down when they realized it was only Lin. Lin laid motionless on the floor for awhile until sleep over took her.

Hmm, no one is around. Miroku thought as carefully made his way to a still sleeping Lin. Such a lovely bottom, just one little rub. Miroku reached down and started to rub Lin's butt.
Everyone but the Miroku and the still sleeping Lin was outside of Kaede's hut eating a breakfast of fruit. Only Sango noticed that Miroku wasn't around since she had noticed the missing morning groping he usually preformed.

"Hey, anyone of you seen Miroku?" Sango asked as she looked around.

"No, I haven't seen him since I woke up." Kagome answered.

SMACK, "PERVERT!", SMACK, THUD was heard coming from inside Kaede's hut.

"There he is." InuYasha said as he watched Lin drag an unconscious Miroku out of the hut.

"Will he ever learn?" Shippo said as he shook his head.

"Where's the nearest place to bathe?" Lin asked. "I need to wash myself after he touched me."

"The hot springs be that way." Kaede said pointing.

"Thank you." Lin said and took off in the direction of the hot springs.

Miroku started to regain consciousness when Lin left. "Owww. I think she hits harder than you Sango." Miroku said as he started to get up. "I need to go soak my head." And he to left towards the hot springs.

"Do you think he'll stay out of trouble?" Kagome asked.

"No." Came the answer from everyone.

About 15 minutes later a scream was heard. Not long after Miroku could be seen running back towards the group being chased by a gigantic wolf slightly bigger than Kilala.

"Lin I didn't mean to, honest." Miroku shouted as he ran away from the transformed Lin.

"Serves you right, monk." InuYasha shouted at the fast approaching Miroku.

Lin chased Miroku a good half hour to an hour staying close enough for him to feel her breath on his neck. She was careful to never get any closer than that since her goal was to scare him but not kill him. Only when he eventually collapsed from exhaustion did she stop and leave to finish her bath.

When she returned no one said anything about her chasing Miroku, since all of them thought he deserved it. Only Miroku keeping a healthy distance was the only sign the event had happened.

"I have something I need to tell you guys." Lin said.

"What?" Kagome asked.

"I won't be traveling with you to help you defeat Naraku at least not for awhile." Lin said.

"Why?" Sango asked.

"Because I need to go a visit these two half demons who could help me find out about my parents. Myoga told me about them and I have decided to go." Lin said. "I'll help you once I'm done, because I'd never break a promise."

"When do you plan to leave?" Kagome asked.

"As soon as possible." Lin answered.

"We understand this is important to you and we don't mind if you go. But we'll miss you and will await your return." Sango said.

"What do you mean wait for her?" InuYasha said.

"InuYasha..." Kagome started.

"I mean why don't we accompany her. I know of the half demons she speaks of and they might be able to help us find jewel shards or even Naraku." InuYasha explained.

"InuYasha had a good idea?" Shippo said confused. "Owwwww, Kagome!"

"Shut up runt!" InuYasha said as he hit Shippo,

"Sit."

"Will you truly come with me?" Lin asked.

"You bet we will." Kagome answered.

"Thank you, you guys are true friends." Lin said smiling.
