The Maiden and her Protector

Chapter 36: Home-coming
Kagome followed the path which was to lead her home. Tears burned in her eyes and she rubbed them furiously.
Stupid to cry!
Straightening her shoulders, she donned a cheerful smile.
She waved at a few of the people, and was taken aback at their horrified looks. They immediately averted their eyes.
Frowning and a little hurt, she made her way to Kaede's little house.
Kaede would greet her with a smile.
She burst into the house and froze on seeing a black haired man sitting in her mentor's chair.
"So nice of you to join us, my dear Kagome."
A.N: Thank you everyone for the condolences. They meant a lot to me. The fact that you guys took out your time and wished me well, touched me. So thank you, truly.
