Hey, peoples. This is my first time on so I messed up and didn't write any comments til now. Sorry for the lack of action but I wanna try to build Kamia's and Sesshy's relationship to a level where they actually trust each other. Then it'll go into the adventure stuffies. Just to warn you, I might give you 3 chapters at once then disappear for a month or so, so try to be patient. I'm on my mum's laptop, which is the only one that can go onto the internet, but she travel a lot and takes it with her. sniffle Either way, hope you are enjoying this so far!

Chapter 5 – Past Life
Sesshoumaru
It was dark. The group, now plus three more members had stopped for the night. Everyone was asleep. Everyone but Sesshoumaru that is. He was currently sitting on a medium-leveled tree branch, his back leaning against the trunk.
Damn that Miko! If it weren't for her interference, he wouldn't be here. Nor would he have this damn necklace around his neck. He should have seen it sooner. He could have pulled it off before that Kamia uttered a single word, and then he could have proceeded to shredding her into pieces.
He didn't realize he had company until she spoke.
"Still awake?" Kamia's soft voice broke his thoughts. "Thought so." She was sitting on her own branch. This branch was less than a foot away from the one he was on and just as wide. He noticed the color of her eyes and was shocked. Red, pure blood red. He'd never seen red eyes before on a human. On a youkai, yes, but even then, very rarely. Kamia spoke. "I figured that since we'd be traveling together we should know a little bit more about each other." This was obviously voiced very carefully not to offend and spoken in a casual tone. He figured he might as well tell some things.
"Such as?" he asked.
"Umm…" her voice sounded hesitant. Was she still scared of him? "Well…how old are you?" She forced out.
"Too old for you," Sesshoumaru replied without thinking. What was he talking about? He glanced at Kamia. She seemed surprised by his answer.
"That's avoiding the question," she pointed out.
"Figure it out yourself." Kamia looked temporarily defeated. "If you know so much about me, why don't you know this as well? You knew about Rin and Ah-Un."
"Yeah, but the shows never mentioned your age. Neither did any of those webshrines I checked."
"Shows? What are webshrines?" Sesshoumaru was curious. His eyes widened almost imperceptivity as she explained. A box that connected to the wall and showed moving images? But what surprised him the most was the show named after his half-brother. "There is a 'show' called Inuyasha? It is about him and that girl collecting the jewel shards?" Kamia nodded. "Then how do you know so much about me?"
"You're in it. Not the most important character, but definitely important. You've got yourself a lot of fans in my world." Sesshoumaru was about to ask what fans were when he decided against it. It would do know good if this girl knew he was totally ignorant of such things. In his world, ignorance was a weakness. "They've made up your love life too." Kamia sounded amused.
"Love life?" Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah. You with Rin when she grows up. You with Kagura. You with Kikyo. And even you with Kagome," Kamia chuckled at that last one. Sesshoumaru fumed inside. Him with Inuyasha's wench!
"What about you?" he asked. Kamia smiled.
"I am, personally, of the opinion that you won't end up with anyone. At least, not anytime this century, so relax," Kamia chuckled. Sesshoumaru snorted. He might have to take a mate sooner or later just to get an heir, but for now? No thanks. After all, he'd live for another 300 years at the very least. What was the hurry?
"Who are your parents?" he asked, maybe if he got on her good list she'd never say that word again. His question was answered with silence.
"Actually, I don't know," Kamia admitted. "You see, on my fourth birthday we were on a plane when it crashed. I was the only survivor and the only thing I remembered was my name and my birthday. I was put into government care and sometimes I'm an undercover spy for them. For a reward, I get a salary, a personally designed flat, and my choice of schools, all paid for. They were never able to determine who were my parents." Kamia shook her head. "Forget about it. Sorry I bothered you." Sesshoumaru watched as she jumped to a lower branch and fell asleep. He mulled over what she'd just said.
