rain.She only gets death .... "
"Kagome?", Came a familiar voice behind her and immediately afterwards Kagome heard the barking of dogs.
"Shinji!", She got up happily and ruffled the dog's soft fur: "Well, Inu Kami, how are you?"
"Wau!", Inu Kami, the husky, wagged his tail.
"Hey, what are you doing here in the rain? You'd better go in. You're just catching a cold," said Shinji, who finally arrived at Kagome's. He had had to walk his dog and wore a straw hat to protect himself from the rain.
"Um ...", Kagome looked at Inu Kami: "I know ... but ... look ... there the girl ..."
"Hm? Who is that?", Shinji looked past Kagome to the girl: "She looks worn out ..."
"No, I've never seen her ... but out here she's killing herself ... can't you ... I mean, bring her to my house? I can take care of her there then ..." suggested Kagome. She looked at Shinji, but not really, because otherwise she probably wouldn't utter a sound.She was secretly in love with Shinji for many years, but she had never said anything to him. It was too embarrassing for her and she was afraid that he would not return her love.
"Sure I'll do it, but only if I get a cup of tea from you", Shinji smiled at Kagome and lifted the girl in her arms.
"Of course!", Kagome beamed and could hardly believe that Shinji wanted to drink a cup of tea with her: "Come on, Inu Kami, I sure have a piece of sausage left for you."
"Wow!" Panted the husky and followed his master.

"HEY!", Heiji had found who he was looking for. In the middle of the night and in the pouring rain, after a long hunt he finally caught up with the ninja who had seen him in the palace.
"What's up?", Sasuke looked at him a little annoyed: "I don't have time ..."
"Sorry buddy, but you were in the palace, what did you want there?", Heiji raised her hands, covering them.
"I'm looking for someone, not anymore. What do the people of this village interest me", Sasuke annoyed: "I have to go on, otherwise she'll be gone ...""Wait a minute!", Heiji couldn't really see him in the dark, but the ninja in front of him was certainly younger than he was 22 years old: "Who are you looking for, who knows, I could help you."
"I don't think so ... But her name is Sen and she has white hair with green streaks. A bit smaller than me. I don't think you saw her," Sasuke replied.
"Neither have I, but if I should see her, then I can tell her that you are looking for her ... you are ??"
"Sasuke. But if you tell her, then she's gone. Goodbye!", Sasuke replied and had already disappeared into the rain again.

"Hm ...", Sen opened his eyes. Above her she saw a ceiling and it was unusually warm. It took her a moment to find herself, but then: "Where am I?"
"At my home," said Kagome, who was doing a patchwork: "How are you?"
Sens eyes flew from side to side. "How ... How do I get here? What do you want from me and where are my clothes?""Calm down. I found you in the rain, you passed out and a friend of mine brought you here. I changed your clothes and waxed them. I'm Kagome and you?" Kagome smiled at Sen.
"Sen ... I passed out?"
"Yes. You were lying under a tree ...", Kagome nodded: "I was worried you could have killed yourself in the weather, I didn't want that. What happened, Sen? You looked exhausted . "
Sen pulled his legs up and then stood up: "I ran away ... Well ... I must have overestimated myself and then I saw a snake and I probably slipped ... Thanks, but I have to go on."
"What? Wait a minute. You can stay here, at least until winter is over. You can't go alone through the country and why did you run away and from whom? Is your family not worried about you?" Asked Kagome without a period or comma.
"I have no more family ... they're all dead and the one I'm running away from ...", Sen wearily and put on her clothes: "... that's none of your business ... I have to leave before he finds me here ... He is surely still nearby ... Ha ... tshi! ""You have declared yourself. It's winter too. You don't want to stay here? I live alone and I am often in the palace. So you have a free hand ...", offered Kagome, whose mother instinct suggested: "How old are you?"
"Fifteen ... and it's okay. This is a samurai village ... I'm in the wrong place anyway. Where are my weapons?" Asked Sen, since her shuriken, paper bombs and kunai were gone.
"Shinji took it with him. He said he wants to sharpen it. You are not a ninja? Don't worry, you are safe here," Kagome explained and threw the blanket over her head: "At least stay until you are completely healthy again . "
"Um ... But if ..."
"Whoever is looking for you, we won't tell him. Nobody will find out that you are here if you don't want to!" Promised Kagome.
"So ... thank you ...", Sen gave himself up and sat down on the bed. She was really not doing well and in her condition she wouldn't be able to run away from Sasuke fast enough anyway.So she had no choice but to stick to Kagome. No matter how much she displeases it ...
