Do not own Inuyasha.

"Tell me of the others that travel with you. Are they as delightful as you?" the woman asked.
"I think you would like Miroku. He is a monk, but he doesn't hate demons. He has a wicked sense of humor." Shippo answered.
"A monk and open minded, very interesting. I sense more than just one man though." she commented.
"Well there are a bunch of us. I would prefer to go and ask them to come meet you themselves, rather than you just have my perspective on them. Would that be alright with you?" he asked.
"I sense a miko amongst your group, I do not wished to be purified on sight." she stated.
"Kagome won't hurt you. In fact unless you actively try to hurt her or anyone in our strange pack, she'll probably be your instant friend. Kagome is the nicest, gentlest, most caring woman you will ever meet. She says violence should only be used in defence, and only as a last resort. Miroku and Kagome both think that demons and human are not that different from each other. They both think that it's the person you are on the inside that matters, not your appearance. Kagome said once that it didn't matter what you were, but who you were." Shippo explained.
"You speak so highly of her. I must admit to an eagerness now to meeting her." the woman said.
"Kagome is the greatest, she's like a mother to me. I know that it sounds weird, a kit and a miko, but it's true." he clarified.
"I can see it in your eyes. Very well go and bring your companions. I will wait here." the woman said.
Shippo left and made his way back to the others. The return trip much faster than when he set out. He reached them within five minutes, and sensed Inuyasha coming back their way. Kagome cried out when he popped up next to her.
"Shippo! I'm so glad you're okay! Don't you ever do that to me again! I was so worried about you!" she exclaimed while crushing the boy to her.
Inuyasha returned just as the last sentence left her, "Oi, you little pest, where have you been?" he asked, annoyed.
"I'll explain once I can breath." Shippo stated.
"Sorry." Kagome said, letting him go.
Shippo straighten his hoari, smoothed his hair and fixed his bow, cleared his throat and then explained everything that transpired while he was gone.
