Chapter 2
"Oww that hurt." the child said sitting up rubbing his head.
"Ouch…"she said getting up "…hey are you okay?" she asked the little boy.
"Yeah I think so." he replied dusting off his pants. "Sorry if I hurt you."
"You didn't…" she said getting up off the ground "Just make sure you watch where you're going next time."
"I'll try." he said "by the way my name's Shippo. What's yours?"
"My name is Kagome."
"Okay Kagome, hey can you help with something?" he asked.
"I doubt your parents would want you to be asking a stranger for help." she informed him as she began to walk off.
Noticing her leaving the boy decided to follow her.
"Hey slow down." he said running to catch up with her.
"Go back to you parents." her voice now stern, hoping he would leave her alone. But hearing the way her voice had changed caused him to stop walking and bend his head to look at the ground.
"I would if I had any." his head bent down, with his hair covering his eyes.
At that she then stops walking, turning around she find the boy on the brink of crying. Kneeling in front of him she sees he's not joking.
"Hey, look I'm sorry if I hurt your feeling I, I didn't know" she said in a soothing tone.
"I know you didn't, but I hate when it is brought up." he said whipping a few tears, not wanting her to blame her self.
"Come here... "She managed to give him a hug "you asked me for help earlier right?"
He nodded whipping his remaining tears.
"You still want it?"
And with that his frown turned into a smile.
"I need you to help me find my little sister." he said climbing out of her lap.
"Your sister and how old are you any ways?" she asked as they headed back to the park.
"I'm six why?"
"I was wondering because you look younger then that. And how old is you sister."
"She's three."
"Okay answer me one more thing are you and your sister in a foster home."
"Yes and no, "he answer "I'm in foster not her."
"What do you mean by that?" she asked a little confused.
"I'm in foster not Makayla she my foster sister."
So you do have foster parents, wait then why didn't you go to you foster parents when I asked you instead of following me?"
"Because, if I want to Kaede without Makayla Inuyasha would kill me for losing his daughter."
"Okay, okay calm down I'll help you find her. So where was the last place you saw her?"
"That's the problem we were playing hide-and-go-seek but she wondered off."
"Oh, okay do remember what she was wearing today. With that we should be able to find her faster."
"I remember her wearing her favorite Dora the Explorer jumper and her pink and white shoes."
"Anything else?" she asked scanning the park.
"Oh I also remember she had two curly pig tails in her hair."
After about five minutes of looking they a little girl playing in a sandbox that matched Shippo's description of her.
"Is that her over there?' Kagome asked pointing to a small child with two pig tails and Dora jumper on.
"That's her" he exclaimed excitedly "Makayla" he said running over to her.
Looking up the child sees Shippo coming towards her gets up and runs to him.
"Sippo!" she says running over her sand castle she had made.
"Makayla…" he said giving her a hug "…you know not suppose to be over here without your daddy or nana."
"Nana." she repeated.
"Yeah Kaede, your nana. Let's go find her before she gets worried." he said taking her hand.
Turning around Shippo is glad to have found Makayla with the help from Kagome.
"Thank you, Kagome for helping me find her. Makayla this is Kagome, she helped me find you."
"Gome?" she asked.
"Yeah, Kagome this is Makayla." he said introducing them to each other.
"Hi Makayla you're very cute, my name is Kagome." she said sweetly to the child, kneeling in front of her.
"Tell her hi Makayla." Shippo said.
"Hi my name Kayla, I dis many." she said holding up three small fingers to Kagome.
"You're three." she said cheerfully. Getting a nod of her head as an answer.
"Okay, I think I will feel better if I take you to your parents." Kagome said standing up straight. Now following the kids as they headed to their parents.
"My nana's right dere!" Makayla said pointing over to an older lady near the park benches.
"Nana" "Kaede" the kids yelled together as they ran over to her with Kagome close behind them.
"Nana, nana Sippo an me played hide & seek but he got lost, and I played in da sandbox." she said as she Kaede picked her up and sat her in her lap.
"And den Gome helped him."
"Gome, who Gome?" Kaede asked looking at Shippo.
"Her" he said pointing to Kagome who had just sat down next to them.
"Thank you for helping Shippo Ms…?"
"Higurashi but just call me Kagome." leaning back on the bench showing her plumped belly.
"Kagome thank you for bringing me back my great grandbaby and Shippo I don't know what I would have done if couldn't find them. Is there any way I can show you my gratitude to you?"
"I don't think so, unless you know where a good motel is around here." she said getting up to stretch.
"Why do you want to go to a motel you look too young to be out on your own already and with a baby on the way." She pointed out.
"Well it a long story but to make it short; I got pregnant and my dad tried to put me in a foster home but I ran, so now I'm looking for a place to stay."
"Oh okay, but why not come with us instead. I live in a three family apartment with my grandson you can stay in the third apartment room until you get your problem with you father situated." she offered.
"You would really do that for me?" she asked shocked by the lady's offer.
"Is Kagome coming to live with us Kaede?" Shippo asked.
"Gome go stay wit us." Makayla asked next.
"That if she wants to." Kaede said looking from the kids to Kagome. "Well?"
"Thank you Kaede I would love that."
