AN: Wow, I wasnt expecting so many reviews! Thanks to every one who gave their condolences. I am also sorry to those who actually liked the idea of Kagome with Wade. It just didnt seem like very many people were interested in him and Greg. Maybe I'll make another crossover with him paired with Kagome? ^^

I dont own anything.

Chapter 6: Bad News.

He was watching her.

Despite her rather amusing outburst at the RV, Daryl still didn't know if he should trust her and her group. Dale trusted them sure, but that didn't mean that they all should. Rick was too busy worrying about Carl, Glenn will most likely not have a problem with them, and Shane was gone with Otis looking for a respirator.

Speaking of Shane, there was no way to tell how he was going to act around this new group. He was probably the only one out of them all more likely to kick them out. Let them be on their own.

Speaking of...

"You said earlier that you survived in the woods for three years. How did that happen in Japan? Isn't the whole country over populated?"

Slowing down, Kagome waited until he caught up her. "I was wondering how long it would be before he asked." She smiled slightly and shook her head. "Not the whole island. There are still a lot of wild area's, over half the island is covered in woodlands. I was trained as a Miko, or Priestess, as my family lives- erm, lived on a Shrine. Every Priest, Priestess, and Monk needs to take a test to become one with nature and go through very rigorous training. While every Shrine does a different test, they all reach a similar goal. On my fifteenth birthday I began my training. I had to survive on my own in the woodlands around Tokyo and surrounding area's. We may not have wolves, but there are still some wild bears and boars running around, as well as wild dogs, snakes, and foxes. So I had to learn how to track, field dress and defend myself too." As she said this, she pointed at her bow and machete.

After his nod, she continued. "I did travel with a small group for a while. We took care of each other and became good friends. I finished my training when I was eighteen, at which point I started getting into competitive archery."

He nodded again. He had a feeling that she wasn't telling him everything. Was a start though.

"You had it easier than I did."

She raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?"

"Got lost in the woods when I was around ten, survived in the woods for nine days eating berries and wiping my ass with poison oak. My father was gone with some waitress, and my older brother was in juvie. So they didn't even know I was gone. Found my way home though, walked right into the kitchen and made myself a sandwich. I was a little worse for wear, though my ass itched something awful."

She couldn't help it. Kagome snorted and tried her hardest not to laugh out loud. "I'm so-" She giggle snorted "I'm so sorry. That's just... that is so horrible, yet funny. I had it rough while I was on my own, but I never wiped with a poisonous plant." She held back another bout of giggles. "I would sooner want to be chased around by demons than have my butt itch like that. Poor guy."

Daryl smirked and shook his head. "It's alright. Only difference with Sophia though, is that she has people looking for her. I didn't have that luxury."

Looking back into the woods surrounding them, Kagome smiled slightly. "We'll find her. Even though I don't know you guys. I can't live with myself knowing that a little girl is lost on her own."

"If only the rest of the group was so optimistic. They have already given up hope in finding her."

Kagome huffed and crossed her arms. "Well screw them."

That made him laugh. "I don't think you want to do that."

She gaped and nudged him playfully. "Not literally! I don't have any pla-" She stopped suddenly. She heard something, and she could very faintly sense that something was nearing them. Remy's hair was bristled also. He heard it too.

Daryl gave her an odd look and was about to ask why she stopped talking, before he could ask though, she turned off the flash light. "Why the hell did she do that?" He started to put an arrow in his crossbow when he heard a faint "thunk" and familiar sound of a walker dying, the sound of a bow string vibrating followed suit.

"Bullseye."

When the flash light was turned back on, he saw the body of a elderly man on the ground to their right. You could see where he was bit on his arm. She hit him right in between his eyes.

He gave a low whistle. "Nice shot. How did you know it was there? I didn't even hear it walking."

Kagome smirked. If only he knew. "Call it a hunch. Not to mention that Remy was tense and had his hair bristled." She told him, giving said dog a pat on the head then pointed at the body. "Check."

Watching the dog carefully check the body, he couldn't help but ask. "Why are you having him check it? The walker is already dead."

Kagome shook her head. "Sometimes they get back up even after you shoot them in the head. We learned that the hard way. So we have Remy check it out, if it gets back up, then he can take care of it."

To say he was shocked, was an understatement. "We have never had that happen before."

"Then consider yourself lucky. We lost a few people to walkers rising again. We noticed that it is more common with fresh walkers. People that had been turned for only a few days. We are not sure why." She explained. "When that started happening, I wasn't aware of what I was sensing. I can still barely sense Walkers... Only time I really am sure there are any around is when there are a large group of them."

Daryl looked at her carefully, he needed to be sure to tell the others what he found out. If Walkers could come back after they had already been shot in the head, then they were in deep shit. "What would you say is the best way to deal with the bastards then?"

Petting Remy when he walked back to her, she looked back at Daryl."Chopping their heads off. Even if by some chance they are still not dead. They can't move around if they are just a head."

"Makes sense."

*/*/*/*

They walked for another half hour, before they came upon a camp. Hanging from a nearby tree was a man who had gotten turned. He was groaning and trying to reach out to get them. His legs from the knee's down were already ate on by other walkers.

Daryl noticed a piece of paper on the tree the walker was hanging on. "Got bit, fever hit, World gone to shit, might as well quit." Shaking his head, he sighed. "Idiot didn't have the sense to shoot himself in the head. He's nothing but walker bait hanging himself like that."

Kagome held back a cough and covered her nose. "Ugh, he smells awful."

She noticed that even Remy was keeping his distance, she could only imagine how bad it smelled to him.

Getting an idea, Daryl smirked and started poking the Walkers legs with his crossbow. "Looks like other walkers already gnawed on his legs. That's one thing we have in common. We gotta eat."

Kagome coughed again and swatted him on his shoulder. "Change of subject please! Thats disgusting!"

Laughing at her, Daryl gave her a smug look. "Consider it payback for laughing at my itchy ass earlier."

"You're an ass."

He laughed again. "Let's see if he left us anything." He said and poked his head into the man's tent slowly.

Other than a chair, there were a few cans of food and a box of ammo. No sight of the gun though.

"Well, we got ourselves a can of beans, two cans of corn, some peaches, a can of salmon, and one hundred rounds of nine mil ammo. Not too bad."

Nodding, Kagome took the cans and ammo from him. She put the cans in her back pack, and the ammo in Remy's dog vest."Not at all, better than not finding anything at all."

Looking up into the sky, Daryl noticed how late it was. "I think its time to head back. We've been searching for Sophia for a few hours now. If she's smart, she's holding up in a old barn somewhere for the night."

Kagome nodded and turned to head back to the RV. "I agree, we need some rest. Won't be any good if we are too tired too look."

Daryl followed close behind her and her furry companion.

*/*/*/*

When they were in sight of the RV, They could see that Greg was still sulking on the top of it next to Dale.

When Greg finally spotting them, he jumped down from the top of the RV and jogged towards them. "You guy's 'right? You were gone for hours! Ya didn't get attacked did ya, Darlin'?" He was searching her for any signs of being attacked.

Shaking her head, Kagome pushed him back gently. "I'm fine, Dad. We ran into one Walker on a trail, and one in hanging in a tree. I took care of it like a good little girl."

Grumbling to himself at the insult. Greg crossed his arms and turned his back to her. "Well I hope you enjoyed your date, little Missy."

Blushing slightly, Kagome swatted his back. "It wasn't a date!"

Greg laughed and shook his head. "Keep tellin' yourself that, hun. I'm sure we all will believe you."

She could cut his sarcasm with a knife.

Growling to herself. Kagome walked into the RV.

Men. Who needs them?
