Chapter 3
The next morning we packed up camp and headed off after having breakfast back to Kaede's village who is the younger sister of the dead priestess Kikyou that put the kotodama on Inuyasha that would subdue him with one word from Kagome and that word is 'sit'. It took us till noon to reach the village and the hut that Kaede lives in. She was sitting by a lit fire stirring something in a black pot that was hanging over the fire cooking.
"hey old hag you here?" Inuyasha asked
"Inuyasha be nice" said Kagome
"feh, whatever" he said as he sat down by the door in his usual position craddling his sword.
"yes child i'm here is something wrong?" Kaede asked
"no Kaede everything is fine no one is hurt; but we would like you to meet a new member of our team and also i'll be going to take a couple of tests and re-stock on our supplies" Kagome said
"the hell your not going home Kagome we've got jewel shards to look for so your not going" Inuyasha said with snort
"yes I am Inuyasha and if you don't let me go your not getting anymore ramen and besides this would be a great time catch up on things with Tameka" said Kagome with her hands on her hips and her back-pack slung over her right shoulder.
"fine; but you better come back after your done those tests or i'll come there and drag you back" Inuyasha said
"thank you Inuyasha" Kagome said
"feh, whatever" Inuyasha replied
"now where was I...oh yes I like you to meet Tameka she's a childhood friend of Inuyasha" said Kagome gesturing a hand toward Tameka to come stand next to her.
"it is nice to meet you Tameka welcome to my village and also welcome to the team" said Kaede
"thank you it's nice to meet you too Kaede" I said
"if you all are hungry i have lunch made go ahead and eat and i'll be back later" Kaede said as she left the hut to do whatever it is she needed to do.
we all ate our full cleaned our bowls and just sat around waiting for Inuyasha to return after dropping kagome at the well which is a gateway from the feudal era to the modern era 500 years in the future who had left after they were done eating and it only took about 15 minutes for Inuyasha to return and resume his position by the door.
"hey Sango care to go to the hot springs with me?" I asked
"sure Tameka and Inuyasha keep an eye on the lecher here make sure he doesn't spy on us" she said grabbing her big boomerang and we left the hut for a nice relaxing dip in the hot springs.
Sango and I arrived at the hot springs that looked so inviting we looked around to make sure no one was spying on us and seeing the coast was clear we striped our clothes off and slid into the welcoming water.
"ahh this is nice it feels good to finally have a chance to relax in a hot spring" I said as I dipped my head underneath the water.
"what do you mean finally?"
"well you see being a half-demon i'm always on the run from full demons and trying to survive"
"it must be hard living on your own?"
"it is; but right now i'm glad I don't have to really run anymore since I found you guys" I said with a smile on my face
"that's good just so you know we protect one another as a group" and she smiled back and after 10 minutes in the hot spring we got out dryed off got dressed and headed back to the hut.
when me and Sango arrived back at the hut we found Miroku unconcious, Shippo drawing, Inuyasha in his same spot and that Kaede was also back she was crushing some herbs together in a stone bowl.
"what happened to Miroku?" I asked
"he tried to leave the hut to spy on you two and Inuyasha knocked him out" Shippo said without looking up from his drawing.
"ok" I said as I sat down by Kaede and talked to her about how I knew Inuyasha and other things of interest and before we knew it, it was dinner time which was rice balls and fish which was very good and after dinner we all settled in for the night.
