She prowled the forest, gliding through it with ease as if she were flying, she stopped and sniffed the air. She was close, she could smell him.

She looked breifly around her, thinking she heard something, deeming it safe she continued her search.

There was a deafening crash as her dog-like ears perked up and she was attacked from behind, her attacker dragged her to the dirt.

She growled fiercely, "Let me go you-you heathen!"

"Not until you tell me what you're doing lurking around here for." The boy above her snarled.

"I haven't done such a thing!" She retorted, scandalized.

"That's not what it looked like to me!" The boy shoved her face harder in the dirt so she couldn't turn to face him.

"InYasha! Let her go!" A woman's voice interfered, by the sound of it she was young.

"She's a demon, Kagome! She's looking for the jewel."

"Jewel? What jewel?" She asked, her voice muffled by the dirt.

"Don't play coy, every demon knows of the jewel." Snarled the boy.

"I have no need to gain more power." She growled.

"InuYasha let her go!" By this time a man had joined the fray, at this the boy above her grunted and released her hands.

She shoved him off of her back with ease, "I am sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not looking for a fight, I'm looking for someone, my brother actually- what are you all staring at?" She stopped talking and saw the dumbfounded looks on the three's faces.

"You look a lot like-" the girl, Kagome, stopped pointing at the boy who pinned her.

She looked to her capture, they did indeed look quite a lot a like, the same silver hair and gold eyes. The only thing that was different was she was more slim and chose to wear a black kimono instead of red.

"I-uh- are you relatated?" Asked the boy who had come in later.

"Of course not, that's not possible for her to be this young even if we were siblings!" InuYasha spoke defiantly.

"Actually..." She laughed nervously, scratching the back of her neck.

"I love stories!" Piped up the little fox demon at Kagome's feet.

"Do you mind if we.. sit down? I have been traveling for a long time." She looked over at InuYasha but he huffed irritably and looked away.

"Our camp is not far away, let's go and rest there, it is getting dark." The boy said and as she looked closer, he was a monk.

"Okay then." She nodded.

They started walking, Kagome, the monk and the fox demon taking up the front. She and InuYasha were in the back.

"What was father like?" She asked, she was curious but also sad: she never met him before his demise.

InuYasha huffed again, crossing his arms and looking away from her, "I don't believe you and once everyone realizes that your story doesn't make sense, I'll be the one to kill you."

"I highly doubt that will happen; it looks as though Kagome has you on a tight lease, you've even got enchanted beads around your neck! Honestly brother, what is the difference between this mortal and the next with you?" She jeered at him, watching him get flustered.

Before he could snap back an insult they had arrived to the camp, three sort-of warm blankets were on the ground next to a dead fire, Kagome grabbed a few pieces of the firewood next to it; grabbing an object she struck it against the box it came in and threw it into the fire.

"What are these? What are those?" She asked interestedly looking at the small box in Kagome's hand, and the blankets on the floor.

Kagome chuckled, "these are matches and those are sleeping bags. I don't come from around here."

"Oh." She shrugged, having nothing else to do.

"Story time! Story time!" The little fox demon said happily, jumping into the air before nestling into one of the sleeping bags.

At this InuYasha jumped into a near by tree, seeming to be content with being far away from her. She felt a little crestfallen.

Her stomach growled before she could start and she said sheepishly, "its been a while since I've eaten."

"No need to worry! I'm on it." Kagome said grabbing a few things out of her bag and cooking it near the coals of the fire. It took all her being not to watch.

"First I shall start with my name, Sheumaru. I was born of father but it seems we had different mothers InuYasha or we would have remembered each other from when we were young." She turned her body to him, he quickly looked away.

"I was never kind to monks or priestesses or priests. They never treated me very kindly growing up so as I got older my heart started to fill with rage toward them. I did things they said I would do, I terrorized villages, I hurt humans." She paused and looked toward the monk and Kagome, feeling it was right to include her in this too, it seemed she wasn't just human. She was after all the reincarnation of Kikyo.

"I am sorry for hurting your people. I was young and impulsive, as it seems my brother still is." She bowed her head to each one in turn.

Before either could respond, Sheumaru continued, "finally all the horrible things I did caught up with me. Ten years before Kikyo died her and all of the priestesses and monks and priests gathered together. Luring me out into the mountains, where even they didn't know exactly where they were, Kikyo pinned me to the mountain with one of her sacred arrows and all of the monks put scrolls up around me."

She paused, recalling those awfulmemories, "all of a sudden, I was awake I had no idea why but suddenly I was filled with the need to find my brother, he would have all the answers I just knew he would." She looked toward him again, and this time InuYasha didn't look away.

"It didn't take me long to realize that it had been sixty years I was trapped on that mountain. Frozen in time and space. I was hearing rumors that Kikyo's reincarnation was searching for the Shikon jewel with the half-demon InuYasha." The food Kagome was preparing was finished and she silently handed it over to Sheumaru, she nodded, thanking her.

"I went to where it was rumored where you had last been and judging by how strong the scents were, I had just missed you by moments, every time."

"I'm sorry Sheumaru." The monk said from across the fire.

She smiled at him, "It is fine, I have found you, I just hope I am allowed to stay?" She turned to InuYasha, still up in the tree, the question was more directed at him then anyone else.

"Of course you are." Kagome said, putting a hand on her shoulder.

InuYasha jumped gracefully down from the tree, he simply nodded at her and looked in the fire.

There was silence until he muttered quietly, "which one is older? And how come I didn't know about you?"

"I can not explain the actions of our father, I only know the reason I was told was to find you later in life. That there would be demons you could not face and win. You are the older one, by three years." She added remembering the first part of the question.

Sheumaru handed the now empty cup over to Kagome, and looked at her brother, "I will not stay if you don't want me to."

"You can stay, we need all the help with Naraku anyway." She could see in his eyes though, that that wasn't the reason for his agreeing. It was because he was happy not to be alone.

"Thank you for the food Kagome, but I must turn in now. I haven't slept for two days. Goodnight brother." And she lept into a tree, cozying herself up she almost didn't hear the soft whisper:

"Good night."
