AN: Sorry it took so long guys! I had a death in the family and went on vacation. Thanks for all the wonderful reviews!

I will be revealing who Kagome is going to be paired up with next chapter!

At ScornedxRose, Wade and Greg feel bad that they weren't there to protect Kagome and Souta from the walkers, and in turn lost a valuable companion. Even though most Military animals are seen as tools, their handlers always form strong bonds with them. Several Military dogs have died protecting their handlers or anyone else in their squad, its a big deal to them.

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

Chapter 4: Faith

/*/*/*

Kagome was the first to see them. She saw the American male first, then the two women and Asian male. She could tell they were all frustrated, especially the male with the crossbow. While they looked a little worse for wear, she didn't think they looked to be much of a threat.

Remy wasn't growling either, he just looked tense. Which was a good sign. Sort of.

"Do you think they are part of Dale's group?"

The whispered question caught her off guard. Looking at Souta and Chouko she nodded slightly. "I think so."

She was about to say more, but the noise from a door being slammed open stopped her. All three Asian's looked over the the source of the noise to Dale rushing out of the RV to meet the small group at the top of the hill.

"What the hell happened!? Where are the others?"

The Asian was the first to speak. "Carl was shot."

Dale's eyes got huge and filled with disbelief. "Shot!? What do you mean Shot!?"

It was the Asian who spoke again. "I don't know, I wasn't there. All I know is that this chick came to us like Zorro on horse back and took Lori." He explained while climbing over the guard rail with the others following behind him.

Dale looked to the American male then. "And you let her!?"

"Rick sent her, she knew Lori's name and Carl's." He said while he made his way towards the RV. He stopped abruptly though when he saw a movement out of the corner of his eye. Slowly turning to where he saw the movement, he lifted up his crossbow. "That vehicle wasn't here before."

Walking towards the vehicle slowly, he could clearly see feet behind it. "I know you're there, so stand up now!"

His shout caught the others attention who pulled their weapons out except for Dale. Who rushed towards Daryl quickly. "Daryl, don't! They don't mean us any harm!"

Daryl gave him a disbelieving look. "They!? Exactly how many of them are their!?"

Before anyone could answer though, Carol shouted. "Daryl, look out!"

It was too late though.

He felt the familiar cold steel of a gun upon the back of his throat. "It'd be in you're best interest to put your bow down partner. I don't think there is any need for blood shed this day. Don't cha think?" The accented voice said in his ear.

"That isn't necessary Greg! Put your gun down!" He heard Dale shout from his left.

Greg glanced at him briefly before turning his attention back at Daryl. "Not until he puts his weapon down. I ain't letting him threaten my comrades in any way, shape, or form. Especially them." he said motioning towards the back of the SUV where Kagome and the others were finally coming out from behind.

"Who the hell are these people Dale!?" Andrea shouted. She didn't know what to do. She was still upset at Dale, but she knew he wouldn't willingly let people in their group with out reason.

She had her hand on the gun Lori gave her just in case.

Glenn was looking torn between the two groups. He understood both sides. He wanted to protect Daryl, but 'Greg' was protecting those in his group.

Carol just stood there completely in shock. She didn't know what to do.

Kagome had Chouko and Souta behind her. All three had their hands up to show that they were free. If he did end up shooting them, she would take the blow. Remy was still behind the SUV waiting for her or Wade's command.

Speaking of, she took a quick glance at the top of the RV. Wade had his sniper aimed right at Daryl.

Looking back at Daryl and Greg, she gave Greg a pointed look. "Take your gun off him, he's just protecting those he cares about."

Sputtering, Greg glared at her. "And I'm protectin' those I care about darlin'!" He didn't remove his gun from Daryl's neck.

"I know, but we knew what we were walking into when we helped Dale out."

That got Daryl's attention, he lowered his bow some."What do you talking about?"

Before Kagome could answer, Dale walked in between her and Daryl. "They helped T-Dog, he had a really bad blood infection. We couldn't find any antibiotic's." He explained.

"Couldn't find any? Dale, I have a whole damn bag of my brothers antibiotic's on my bike!" Daryl motioned to his bike behind him with his free hand. Careful of the gun he still had on his neck.

Dale looked dumbfounded at the motorcycle behind Daryl and Greg. "I didn't want to intrude and go through your belongings..."

Putting his crossbow down all the way, Daryl held both his hands up where Greg could see them. "All you had to do was ask old man." Turning his head to where he could see Greg out of the corner of his eye's he nodded at him. "I won't cause them any harm. Promise."

Looking back at Kagome who nodded to him. Greg finally lowered his gun and back away from Daryl.

Everyone released a breath they didn't know they were holding.

Smiling, Kagome stood next to Dale and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry about it too much, even before this whole Zombie thing, nearly everyone I have met has tried to kill me. It just means we'll have a good relationship." She explained before walking towards Greg, Souta and Chouko behind her.

Everyone with the exception of Souta and Wade(who was still on the RV) looked at her funny.

As she was walking away Daryl took note of the bow she had on her. He then shook his head and mumbled to himself. "Weird lady."

"I heard that."

Daryl smirked before walking to his motorcycle. He lifted up a flap on the side and pulled out a bag filled with bottles of meds and tossed it to Dale. "Those should help T-Dog if he gets worse."

"So what are your names?"

Looking to Glenn, Kagome smiled at him. "Im Kagome." She placed a hand on the top of her brothers head. "This is Souta, my brother." She laughed when he swatted at her hand. She pointed to Chouko. "That is Chouko, you know Greg." She nodded at each as she said their names. "The guy on top of the RV is Wade, and the dog is Remy." At his name being called, Remy walked up to Kagome and sat at her feet.

Everyone who didn't know about Remy looked at him in shock before turning their attention to the man they now saw on top of the RV who was holding a huge sniper rifle. He nodded to them in greeting.

"What the hell!? He was up there the whole time!? He could of shot any of us!" Andrea yelled.

Kagome looked at her and shrugged. "Have a little faith, at least he didn't." She heard Souta and Chouko snicker at the look on Andrea and Carol's faces.

Greg put his pistol away and crossed his arms over his chest. "How 'bout you guys introduce yourselves then we can help ya with this issue about that boy you said got shot."

Dale turned his attention to Glenn who had stood beside him. "Where are Carl, Shane, Lori, and Rick anyway?" He asked.

Glenn took his cap off and ran a hand through his hair before putting it back on. "The horse chick said to go down the road about too miles and look for the name 'Green' on a side road. That is where they are."

"We best get going then, we can finish introductions once we get there and make sure the child is safe." Wade said as he made his way down the RV. "We can all take our vehicles to the place and figure out where to go from there."

Daryl and Andrea gave him an uncertain look. Daryl was the first to nod. "I agree, Carl's safety is more important right now. If these guys wanted us dead they would of tried to kill us already."

"It's settled then, lets hit the road."
