Kagome, Inu Yasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kaede sat in the small hut in silence. Only the sounds of the birds and the village people could be heard. A small crow sat outside the hut, watching them intently. Inu Yasha noticed it had been following him all day, and as a warm summer breeze filtered in through the window, he caught the scent of a demon.

Immediately, he soared from his seat, towards the scavenger. It took off flying to its alleged master. Inu Yasha growled in frustration.

"What is it Inu Yasha?" Kagome asked, coming up behind him.

"That," he stated, "was a demon spy. Probably sent by one of my enemies."

"So, what's wrong with that?" Shippo piped in, "We can handle any of those Rookie Demons." He puffed out his chest confidently.

"Feh. Don't you mean I can handle them?" Inu Yasha scoffed, making Shippo's chest deflate, along with his pride. He jumped into Kagome's arms, sniffling.

"Oh, come on Shippo. He didn't mean it," Kagome looked at Inu Yasha pointedly, "Did you Inu Yasha?"

Inu Yasha grumbled a "no", and turned to face the window. Sango looked astonished. Kagome, however, threw Shippo up into the air, and caught him, laughing. Shippo laughed with her.

"There now!" Kagome said, hugging the little fox demon to her, "You can take on any of those dumb old' demons, can't you?"

"Heh heh heh! That's right I can!" Shippo said puffing out his chest once again.

"You're going to give him a swollen head, Kagome," Inu Yasha stated. (For all who do not know, "swollen head" refers to an annoyingly large ego.)

"No more swollen than yours, Inu Yasha," Sango retorted.

"Hey! Shut up!" Inu Yasha yelled.

"You guys, perhaps we should talk about the spy, before Lady Kaede falls asleep?" Miroku suggested.

Kaede started from her near slumber state of mind. "What? Oh, yes. Inu Yasha, who is it ye thinks is the master of this spy? I know ye have an idea, ye need but to share it with us."

"Well… it's probably Sesshomaru. Dammit! And now he knows, so naturally the rest of this world will know… I just wish there was some way…" Inu Yasha trailed off, staring at the floor.

"Some way…" Kagome pressed on, "Some way to what?"

Inu Yasha looked directly into her eyes. "Some way to keep you out of danger. An assured way to prevent your getting hurt. Unless…"

"No way, Inu Yasha! We are not going through that again!!" Kagome yelled cutting him off, "I am not- I repeat, not going back through the well, just so you can plug it up, under the false pretenses that both me, and you all, will be safer and better off! Got me?"

Inu Yasha mumbled incoherently. "We will just have to take extra precautions. We'll hire a guard or something."

"Well, there's one person who would be more than willing to help me out. We could get him," Kagome suggested.

"No! I am not entrusting your safety to that stupid Wolf-Demon. And I really do not want to be indebted to him either," Inu Yasha said, indignantly.

"Why not? Koga is a nice enough guy. He seems pretty well intentioned. Unlike some other people I know," Sango said, looking pointedly at Miroku as she said the last sentence.

"No! Miroku and I will take turns watching over you and Sango. Except now, we will have to set up special sutras. Kaede, will you teach Kagome some spells, defensive, as well as offensive?" Inu Yasha asked her.

"Very well Inu Yasha. I will do as ye request. Come Kagome we will start your training immediately." Kaede said, standing up.

"Mm-hmm," Kagome said, following Kaede out of the hut.

"Now, Shippo, you are coming with me!" Inu Yasha said, grabbing the collar of his shirt.

"But, why Inu Yasha?" Shippo whined.

"Miroku and I are going to train you. You will be stronger, faster, and more able to protect Kagome. Your Fox Fire might even become as strong as your father's was," Inu Yasha said, smiling warmly.

I-I could become as strong as father? Shippo thought, I'll do it! I'll train with Inu Yasha and become stronger!
