They had set back out that morning heading toward the nearest village. When they entered they could hear someone screaming.

“YOU TWO BRATS I WILL SEE TO IT THAT THE HEADMAN THROWS YOU IN THE DUNGEON FOR THIS!”

The four girls looked to see what was going on when they saw a man screaming at two children a boy and a girl. The girl appeared to be human but the boy appeared to be some type of demon. They both had tears streaming down their faces and a look of fear there as well before anyone could react Kagome had darted toward the screaming man and two children.

She spoke as she approached them, “Excuse me sir but what is going on here?”

The man glared at her, “These two brats where caught stealing from me.”

Kagome considered the man for a moment, “If I may what did they steal and how much was it?”

The man considered her for a moment, “They stole some rice and fruits amounting up to twenty coins.”

Kagome dug around in her money bag, “If I pay for it and promise you that they will not bother you again will you let them go?”

The man tapped his chin for a moment, “I believe they deserve to be thrown in the dungeon for this. It is not the first time these two have caused problems in this village. However, if you promise to take them away from here and that I will never see them again it is a deal.”

Kagome nodded her head in agreement and handed him the money. Kikyo, Sango, and Kagura had made it to where she was by then and where staring at the two children they were clearly malnourished and filthy. Once they were done Kagome grabbed both children’s hand and lead them away.

Once they found a shady place to sit Kagome looked at the children. “What are your names and where are your parents?”

The boy answered for both of them, “The girls name is Rin she does not speak her parents were killed by bandits a year ago. My name is Shippo my mother died giving birth to me and my father was killed two years ago by another demon. I am a fox demon and Rin is a human when my parents died Rin found me and with the help of her parents nursed me back to health we have been together ever since.”

All four girls had tears streaming down their faces and when Kagome looked at them for their permission they all nodded in agreement.

Kagome looked back at Shippo and Rin, “How about you stay with us? We are on a journey right now but it will be no problem for us to take care of you.”

Shippo looked at Rin and they appeared to be having a silent conversation. He looked back at Kagome with a big smile, “We would like that a lot thank you so much. Now we will not have to worry about mean people or dungeons.”

Kagome smiled, “No you will not now how about we go get you two some clothes get you cleaned up and fed.”

Shippo and Rin nodded quickly in agreement. Kagome, Kikyo, Sango, and Kagura decided that they would all stay in the village that night and leave the next morning since Kikyo and Kagome’s necklaces did not react to any male in the village.
