I would like to address something that was brought to my attention by a reviewer. This story was not meant to be an exact portrayal of Kagome's personality. This was meant to be something to make me laugh as well as my wonderful readers. Yes there are serious moments such as chapter twelve.

What's not a good story when you have someone hurting and learning from their pain and mistakes? She still has aspects of her original character in there. She is loving, willing to help others (which led her to receive this job which is shown within the next few chapters), courageous, clumsy, reckless, knowledgeable, emotional and most of all compassionate. It just hasn't been shown those characteristics just yet.

I do appreciate your constructive criticism as well as your wonderful reviews. You might not know this but we as authors get a high of sorts just reading such wonderful things you write to us. Personally it makes me get up in the internet café doing my happy dance. When that happens I get stared at like an idiot. So I embarrass myself for the sake of the joy you give me as an author. So please continue your wonderful words.

Since I have bored you with my Author's Note. I'll continue with the next chapter.

Chapter 18: Newcomers in Town.

Edo is a very small village that was located at the edge of a forest. The only real excitement these people had been during the annual festivals. This is what the explosion master walked into when he joined the traveling companions.

It's the time of the Great Festival of the summer. Many of the huts were decorated with the traditional paper lanterns and streamers. The well was covered with a variety of flowers that represented the meaning of this festival.

"Kagome", called Deidara, "What is this festival for?"

Kagome looked up and smiled brightly. She skipped up to him and looped her arm through his.

"This is a celebration of the origins of the village! It was around this time that the first family built their hut and with each new family member born more people visited and joined. Soon it became a thriving village with continual markets and business from visiting patrons. So that is what we are celebrating!"

Kagome said all of this while walking the man to her mother's home to feed him since it was around lunch time. Sesshoumaru already left them to find his parents and eat with them. He was also gathering his belongings so he can make his stay with the Akatsuki an extended one.

Mrs. Higurashi cooked a feast for her daughter and her friend. She made sure that they wouldn't starve. So when they were finished with their meal she sent them out having Kagome escort Deidara around telling him stories about what goes on in the town and introduce him to her friends.

So that is what she did. She did all of this and more. She showed him her old hiding places where she would go to get some alone time. She wasn't always a people person and when she needed her time alone she went to these areas. He laughed at her jokes and held her when sadness filled her eyes in the stories she told. Altogether she was glad he came with her.

It is back! Please read, enjoy and review.

This shall be on a schedule from now on. The schedule is located in my biography. So check it out. Until then Caoi
