Okkies, this chapter goes into Kamia's powers.

Chapter 6 – Aura Detector
Sesshoumaru

They were on the road again. Sesshoumaru walked silently, thinking about last night. Beside him, Kamia yawned. It seemed she'd forgotten all about it. She yawned again. Kagome yawned too. Then Sango. And Shippo. Inuyasha started, but then realized what he was doing and snapped his mouth shut. Sesshoumaru was amused. Then he turned his mind to more troubling matters. Why in the world had he talked to her? It made no sense. He despised humans, yet he felt warmth emanating from her body whenever he was near. And he could tell Rin and Jaken could feel it too. That was what made him stay with her. Also, there was the fact that they had made a deal. It was too dishonorable to break it. But that still didn't answer the damn question about why he'd actually made conversation with her! He was angry at himself for being frustrated over this little thing and that in turn got him even more frustrated and angry.

Kamia glanced at Sesshoumaru. He seemed to be deep in thought. She wondered why she'd told him one of the most closely guarded secrets in her life with little hesitation. It made no sense. He was the most dangerous of this group. And he probably wouldn't hesitate to kill me, she though wryly. His honor might keep him from breaking the deal but Kamia wasn't sure if she could trust him that far.

If you didn't trust him then why'd you tell him?

Kamia didn't have an answer to that one.

Kamia stopped. She turned around and backed away a few steps, staring at her allies.

Sesshoumaru

The girl beside him stopped. Sesshoumaru looked down to see why and it surprised him to see the girl back away to stare at all of them. Her gaze told them not to move.

"Kamihana?" Rin asked. She still called Kamia by her full name.

"Why do you guys all have mist outlining your body?" Sesshoumaru blinked at the question. Mist? He looked down at his own body and glanced around. There was no mist. Had the girl lost it?

"What are you talking about? There's no mist you idiot." Inuyasha said, blunt as always.

"But I'm seeing some sort of colored mist around you guys!" Kamia protested. "It's the strongest around Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha and Kagome but Miroku and Sango's aren't bad either. But I can barely see Rin's and Jaken's and Shippo's cause yours are over powering them."

"Strongest around Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, and Kagome?" Miroku repeated. "Weakest around Rin, Jaken, and Shippo…" His eyes widened. Sesshoumaru didn't blame him. If what he thought was true then this girl could prove to be a lot more useful then he first thought.

"So what if mine, Kagome's, and that damn brother of mine's so called mist is stronger?" Inuyasha snapped stupidly. Sesshoumaru could barely refrain from rolling his eyes. How stupid could his half-brother get? He saw his brother's wench's eyes widen and the exterminator's eyes got an understanding light in them as well. His captor was still confused herself, but then again, she probably wouldn't be able to see her own aura without training.

"I still don't get it," Inuyasha's voice sounded. anime sweat drop on everyone but Sesshoumaru, Kamia, and Rin Sesshoumaru couldn't help rolling his eyes. How thick was his brother's skull? How tiny was his brain? Pretty think and really small, he answered his own questions. Even Jaken had figured it out. Surely his father's flesh and blood could not be that stupid.

"Idiot," he heard himself say. Inuyasha's eyes flashed but after a warning glance from his wench, he shut up. Amazing how much power she held over him. "Isn't it obvious? Just as your girl can see and sense Shikon Jewel shards, this girl can see and sense the aura of others. The more power, the stronger your aura. Even you Inuyasha should know that." Sesshoumaru could see that the girl was still a little surprised at his announcement. Then her eyes narrowed.

"You want to use me to find Naraku, don't you?" she accused. Sesshoumaru smirked.

"Of course," he responded. "Naraku's scent may be gone, but aura traces are near impossible to erase unless you speed up time. Your little power would be perfect. It might lead us circles every once in a while but eventually we would find Naraku." Sesshoumaru could see his brother finally beginning to understand. His eyes lit up when he realized what Sesshoumaru was saying.

That-that JERK! He wants to use me to get to Naraku! Kamia glared Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha. Inuyasha hadn't said anything yet, but his expression made his thoughts crystal clear. Kagome had a little hopeful expression as well. Don't they have any idea how I would feel to that! Her perspective changed. Wait, Naraku has some Jewel shards. This power could help track down the jewel shards he has too! She glanced at Sesshoumaru. He was smirking, like he knew exactly where her thoughts were headed. Which was, unfortunately, agreeing with him. Kamia scowled.

"Fine," she grumbled. "But I'll need to find out what his aura feels like first."
