"Where's Kagome, you guys?", whined Shippo.
"I don't know, but she betta hurry it up already." Grunted InuYasha, while stomping his feet impatiently.
"Calm down, you guys. I'm sure Kagome will-" Right on time, the young miko jumped out of the well. "Hey, guys," she say.
"Mama," said the little fox as he ran to Kagome, who looked up to as a mother figure. She always nursed him when he was sick, tend to his wounds, sing to him, and much more. He vowed that he will protect her and love her. The fox youkai jumped onto the girl for a warm embrace, and held onto tightly as he feared she would disappeared if he let go of her. "Aww, I missed you so much Shippo." Giving him a tight hug. Afterwards, Shippo settled on is adoptive mother's shoulders.
"Lady Kagome," said Miroku who gave a hug, but while in the process he groped her.
The monk was then slapped and punched by the slayer. Leaving an unconscious Miroku's face red from the taijiya. "Lecher," said Sango with a smirk on her face. She stepped over the monk and gave the girl a big hug, who she thought as a little sister to her. As the girls were about to conversant, they were interrupted by a certain annoyed hanyou.
"C'mon, we don't have time for this. We have be looking for the shards, before Naraku gets them."
"Okay, geez." Kagome got on top of InuYasha' back and took off.
-Kaede' Village-
InuYasha and the rest of the gang landed right in Kaede's garden.
"Ye, InuYasha, could you try to be more careful," said Kaede while brushing dirt off her apron.
"Feh." Was all she got from the hanyou, Sighing , Kaede walked off to began preparing tea.
"Momma. can me and Kiara go play? Please momma? Please?," the little yokai begged with his big emerald eyes. Along with Kiara and her meowing, reminding her of Puss in boots. Nodding her head, the two jumped up and down, happy that they could go outside.
"On one condition you two. You must not go far, and-" with her index finger in the air, she looked at both two see if they were paying attention. Seeing that both gave her their undivided attention, she final said it. "You two must bring mommy some flowers back." With a smile planted on her face.
Everyone one start chuckling, everyone except one. It was InuYasha. "You two runts betta go, before I change my mind," with mischief planted on his face. The two kids eyes widen and quickly ran out the house, with InuYasha cackling hard. "InuYasha, do you have to frighten the kitsune and neko?," asked the old miko. Even though he would never admit to it, he did look at Lady Kaede as a grandmother figure.
"Feh, the little runts are spoiled," while shrugging his shoulders.
Sighing, Kaede began serving tea. After, serving everybody tea and everybody were comfortable, Lady Kaede decided it was time to ask Kagome questions. Questions concerning about a certain person, who suppose to come to live with Kiyomi from now on.
"So, Kagome, InuYasha and the others tells me that an friend is coming to stay with you." It wasn't a question more like a statement.
Looking up, to see all eyes on her. "Hm, oh yeah, Kiyomi."
"And it worries you with her coming to stay?"
"Yes. I'm afraid she'll find out about the well, and she'll try to..." Kaede already understood where she was coming from.
"Can you tell me more about this Kiyomi person?"
"Oh, sure. I knew her since she was two," she said while gazing at her tea. She looked up and still, all eyes on her. Nodding her head, she continued.
"Well Kiyomi, she more like a unique individual. Like I said I knew her since she was two. Our moms were the best of friends. I have always cared for Kiyomi, like a little sister-" "Why haven't you mentioned her before?," asking InuYasha with an intent gaze.
"I honestly don't know why. I guess, because we haven't talked in a while. She moved somewhere far away from me. Anyways, Kiyomi she's a bright smiled girl. I still remember when I first met her."
