Last Chapter:

"I thought I told you to go home, itoko."

And her unseen eyes were slowly filling up with tears.

Chapter 3:

Kag Pov

"Kaede-sama!" I called as I pushed the reed mat away to enter the hut, "I have a visitor with me!"

Normal Pov

"And how is ye today Kagome?" came Kaede's voice from right behind the two.

Kagome who was used to this simply replied, "I am fine Kaede-sama," while Inuyasha quickly hid his surprise.

"And ye's family?"

"They are fine as well, though Souta has a slight cough." Kagome said while sitting down & motioned for Inuyasha to do the same.

"Who is this?" Kaede asked motioning to Inuyasha.

"His name is Inuyasha. Itoko Tiguro and the others were throwing rocks and insults at him, so…"

"You stopped them, am I correct?"

"Yes."

"Kagome your trust and faith in others is awe inspiring, but you know what the villagers are saying." Kaede cautioned. When Kaede said this Inuyasha wondered just what was going on in this village; first he's being beaten up by village children, nothing out of the ordinary there; then he's rescued by a 5 year old miko-in-training, that in its self is puzzling to say the least; and finally that same girl apparently has a whole village if not in an uproar then at least talking about her.

"I know but I trust in my instincts even if others don't." Kagome replied sadly.

"I understand that, and I trust in your instincts because mine have never proved me wrong. Not only that but it was you who found the demon-slayer's friend and companion and nursed her back to health; thus, earning her mistresses and her respect and friendship, even when Tiguro tried to kill Kilala off, you stood firm at the entryway blocking the path to her, and you also repeated your actions when it was time for Kilala to have her litter of kittens, so that Songo would be able to make sure that everything went smoothly, and in the end Kilala brought one of her kittens to you to imprint your sent into her memory and then she brought all of the kittens to Songo." Kaede reminded Kagome. "And it was you who found the cure for Miroku when he was poisoned. It was you who found Shippo and refused to let anyone come anywhere near him, when most everyone thought that you were crazy for taking in a young fox demon, and tried to kill him." Kaede continued to console the young girl.

Inu Pov-

'Wow she did all that? No wonder I'm having a hard time picking out her sent since there are so many on her that there covering hers.'

Kag Pov-

'That's right! I did do all of that! Even when some threatened to throw me out of the village!' I thought as my face lit up 'and Kilala's been coming and putting that one kitten in my futon almost every night now! And she's even started to follow me around and she keeps helping me in every way that she can! It's almost as if Kilala is choosing me to be her kitten's friend and mistress like Songo is to Kilala!' at this thought my eyes got really huge. 'But while it will be wonderful and is wonderful I will also need to parole the village even more than usual to make sure that Tiguro doesn't get his hands on her! Or hurt her! That would be even worse than the villagers actually kicking me out of the village would!'

Kaede's Pov

Ah I see I've gotten through to her, and now that she has found another her same age; that doesn't call her a traitor behind her back and then pretend to be her friend, lets just hope that he will stay a while or at least visit us often. So lets see if they become friends that makes a grand total of 1…2…3… three true friends that Kagome will have.

End Chapter 3

All right there's chapter three I hope you enjoyed it! It's a bit longer than my last two chapters but I don't know how long my next chapter will be, but since I'm going away for Spring Break don't expect any updates really soon. But I will try to work on my stories while I'm away.
