Chapter two; Mornings light

Kagome awoke in Hiten's warm embrace. She felt safe and loved. It was a feeling she had longed for. It was the kind of love and safety that only a lover could provide. She loved looking at his face. When he's sleeping he looks like an angle.

Kagome thought to her self. Soon the sun began to rise. The weakened light began to Hiten and Kagome. Causing Hiten to wake up. His saw that his koishii had all already awaken. "Morning beautiful." Hiten said in a loving tone.

"Morning to you too." Kagome said Sweetly. "You want to go back to the village today?" Hiten asked Kagome. Yes, if you don't mind. Kagome answered. "Kagome is that kitsune kit still with you?" Hiten asked. "Yes." "But why do you ask." Kagome replied. "Because I want to help the poor pup." Hiten said with a voice full of guilt.

"My brother and I are to blame for making him an orphan." He added shamefully. " That's honorable of you Hiten." Kagome said. "Kagome would you mind if I were to bring Soten along with us?" Hiten asked caringly. "Of coarse not, let's go get her now." Kagome said thinking of the adorable child. "Uh, Kagome we should get dressed first." Hiten suggested. "Oh, I guess I forgot about that." Kagome said blushing. So they both got dressed.

In Kaede's Village

"Inuyasha, I'm beginning to get worried about Kagome." Sango said. "I agree she should have come back by now." Miroku said. She could have gotten caught in the rain last night." Kikyou suggested. "Maybe we should look for her any way?" Kikyou added. "I want my mama." Shippo wined. In an hour, if she's not back we'll look for her. Inuyasha said.

Back with Kagome

Hiten had just stopped to pick some plums so they could eat them for breakfast. "Thank you, dear." Kagome said thankfully. Then she ate the tart fruit enjoying every bite of it. Hiten also enjoyed the tart fruit. But it isn't as sweet as my Kagome. Hiten thought to his self proudly.

They soon took to the sky with a few plums in hand for Soten and Shippo. Since Hiten was fast when it came to flying it only took them ten minutes to reach the house were Soten stayed. "Soten! " They both called. The sleepy Soten appeared still in her night clothes rubbing her eyes. "Who's calling me so early in the morning." Soten said in a sleepy voice.

"Hello Soten." "Do you remember me?" Kagome asked the sleepy girl. "Yeah, your Kagome the lady who takes care of Shippo." Soten replied.

Soten's eyes widened at the sight of her older brother. "Hiten, your alive!" Soten exclaimed. Then running to hug him, which of course he welcomed with opened arms. Hiten quickly explained how he was alive and how he was going to take care of her with Kagome's help. Soten was thrilled.

After Hiten finished explaining things Soten went to get her things. They all departed after that. But this time instead of Hiten carrying Kagome, they just rode on a lavender colored cloud. Then Hiten spotted the group. Kagome and Hiten had decided that she would go to the group first and tell them that

Hiten was going to join the group. So Hiten let her off the cloud. Kagome gathered her courage to tell them. Kagome came in to the groups view. "Kagome!" They all yelled.

Kagome I'm sorry- Inuyasha began but was cut off by Kagome. It's alright Inuyasha I'm fine. All of a sudden Shippo jumps in to her arms yelling "Mama". "Guys there's someone joining our group But please don't attack him." "And Shippo please don't fear him." Kagome pleaded

"Kagome who is it?" Sango questioned Kagome. "Well you see it's Hiten." Kagome said nervously. Everyone yelled at once "What!"

At this time Kikyou intervened. "Obviously Kagome senses that he has good intentions otherwise she wouldn't have bought him into the group or around her kit." Kikyou stated calmly. Everyone agreed. Hiten appeared with Soten.

Hiten once again had to quickly explain how he was alive. The group was a little more trusting of Hiten. Now that that's out of the way we have to go after a shard in another village.
