Chapter three

The next day, after Kagome left, Shippo asked Kikyo, "Hey Kikyo, where are your shidamachu? I don't see them anywhere."

"I left them in the forest." said Kikyo. "I will go to them only in the night."

"I see," said Shippo. "Do you like being friends with Kagome?"

"I do," answered Kikyo. "That girl is so warm, so friendly, so loving, and above all, so kind. I love being friends with her. She taught me how to laugh without bitterness. I hope you'll never learn to realise what a great boon that is, Shippo."

"Why not?" asked Shippo.

"Because that will mean that you have been living a life filled with bitterness." answered Kikyo with a smile.

"Oh" said Shippo. He jumped down from Kikyo's shoulder and scampered towards Kaede's village.

- Modern Era-

Kagome walked through the gates of her school. 'Ah,' she thought. 'It seems ages since I've gotten back to school.'

"Kagome!" called three voices. Kagome turned.

"Eri, Ayumi, Yuka!" she said and ran to greet her friends.

Later after school, as the four girls walked home Eri noticed that Kagome's hand was bandaged.

"What happened to your hand?" she asked.

"Oh this?" said Kagome and frantically tried to think of an excuse. The truth was she had got the wound while trying to escape a bandit that wanted her Shikon Jewel shards. Luckily, Inuyasha had arrived and had saved her just in time. But she couldn't tell that to her friends! They would ask her when this had happened, and where. More importantly, they would ask what Shikon Jewel was and other uncomfortable questions!

"Well," she said slowly." The truth is, I almost got an accident with a car. But before I could get hit, Inuyasha rescued me."

"Wow!" said Ayumi. "Now that is so romantic!"

"I agree." said Yuka. "You must have felt so happy while it was happening, right?"

"Ummm…..yes?" said Kagome.

Feudal Era

Sango sat at the edge of the river, polishing Hiraikotsu. Kirara meanwhile was trying to catch some fish.

"All done." said Sango standing up. "Come on Kirara; let's head back to the village."

When they got there they saw Sesshoumaru, Jaken, Rin (Who was asleep on Ah-Un), Ah-Un and an angry Inuyasha.

"What are you doing here Sesshoumaru?" he asked fiercely.

"I have come for the Miko" said Sesshoumaru calmly.

Well there's another chapter for you guys! Hope you like it. I bet you're happy that I updated so soon as well. Anyway, the next chapter might come today. If not today, tomorrow. Oh, and please review as well. I'm really annoyed that I haven't gotten any reviews yet. If you want me continue, ten you'd better review. Flames are accepted.

"I'm back, guys!" called Kagome jumping out of the well.

"Welcome back, Kagome!" said Shippo excitedly.
