Disclaimer: Stop asking me! I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA!

Yay! Hew chappie! I've got another Inuyasha fic called Minimized on the computer. I'm not going to post that one until the plot of this fic and Four Souls is well developed though. Otherwise I'll forget all about them!

By the way, any of you know how to put in the parentheses other than these: (…) ? Or those arrow things that look like 'v'? Or the straight and diagonal slashes? I've seen it on other fanfics so I know it can be done… I'm just going to keep posting this with my chapters until someone answers.

Anyways, here is the chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter 11 - Truth

Kamihana

"You're joking right?" Kamia was amused. Did they think she'd be tricked that easily? Youkai blood? Please. "I have youkai blood. Of course."

Sango and Kagome looked at each other. Kamia quite obviously didn't believe her.

"We aren't lying. You really do have at least some youkai blood in you! You couldn't heal that fast if you were just human!"

Kamia snorted. They called having to go around with a bandage around your head for a week fast? Sesshoumaru, Miroku, and Inuyasha had all disappeared before she had awoken. She hadn't thanked Sesshoumaru yet. She looked around again.

"Kamia! Are you listening?" Kagome asked.

"No," Kamia said bluntly, and truthfully. Sango sighed. It was a hopeless cause. Goddess, trying to smell a fly in a blizzard would be easier than budging Kamia's mind. Her eyes widened. Smell! That's it! If Inuyasha smelled her, then he'd know immediately if Kamia held youkai blood. And being one himself, there was no reason for him to lie.

The bush rustled and Inuyasha stepped out, empty-handed. Just in time, Sango said.

"Inuyasha, over here!" she called. Inuyasha walked over to them.

"What?"

"We need you to smell her. Is there any trace of youkai in there?" Sango was excited.

Inuyasha sniffed the air. He circled Kamia, sniffing. Kamia rolled her eyes. And then yawned.

"You will not smell it," a smooth voice came from the trees. Sesshoumaru stepped out.

"What?" Inuyasha was too confused to answer with an insult.

"You will not smell it. Your nose is not powerful enough," Sesshoumaru continued. Kamia sent a triumphant look to Sango and Kagome.

"And I suppose you can?" Inuyasha crossed his arms and glared daggers at Sesshoumaru.

"As a matter of fact," Sesshoumaru flicked off an imaginary piece of dust. "I can."

Kamia whipped he head around, eyes wide in disbelief. Sango and Kagome high-fived each other.

"How is that possible?" Kamia asked. "I couldn't have youkai blood! I couldn't!" Her voice sounded a little desperate.

"The blood is yours," Sesshoumaru intervened. "You are not a human girl. You are a hanyou, though the youkai blood in you runs very weak."

Kamia was stricken. How could she possibly have demon blood in her veins? "But… If I'm a hanyou… Then… Would…" she couldn't say it.

Sesshoumaru understood what she was talking about. She wanted to know if, when her life was endangered, she would change. If she would change into the frenzied full-demon like Inuyasha. If she would unconsciously destroy her friends. If she would destroy and destroy until there was nothing left to kill.

"Perhaps," he said softly. He saw Kamia bite her bottom lip. "Where did you come from?" He asked. The girl had never told him.

Kamia looked up. Damn. Now what? She sighed. Might as well tell the truth. "I come from a different time. A different era. I came here through the Bone-Eaters Well. In my era, youkai are dismissed as pure myth. The only youkai there are are either dead or in hiding. Humans rule in that era. That reminds me." Her voice rose. "I have to go back for a few hours. I need to do some things."

Sesshoumaru blinked at the onslaught. A different era? She came through a well? He was fascinated. "Of course." He agreed. Kamia blinked, eyes narrowing. "If you take me with you." She knew there was going to be a catch.

Kamia thought about it. Maybe she could do that. Of course that would need a small sacrifice of pride on Sesshoumaru's part. "I can do that," She said slowly.

"What!" Kagome shouted. "Kamia no! You can't do that!"

"Let her finish," Sango interrupted them.

"As I was saying," Kamia gave Kagome a pointed glance. "I can do that. If you do something to disguise yourself. Say like… turn into a much smaller version of your dog form? A version that's a lot cuter and er… less… intimidating?"

Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed. "That would depend. How small would I have to get?"

Kamia grimaced. She gestured with her hand. "At most as tall as my waist. Preferably smaller but that's the biggest."

Sesshoumaru shrugged. He could swallow his pride for a little while… "Very well then. So it shall be." His eyes turned red. Kamia's own red eyes widened.

"You're changing now!" She yelped and leaped out of the way, as did everyone else. There was a small tornado formed. When it was gone Kamia stared at the figure within.

It was wolf-sized Sesshoumaru in his dog form. The change? The dog form was different.

:Of course it is. You expect me to use my regular dog form: Kamia's eyes widened in surprise.

How…

:There are good sides to becoming a dog. One of them would be that I have four limbs again. Another is this telepathic link between us that I can create. After all, how else am I supposed to talk:

Wicked… Let's go.

:Yes. Let's.:

The dog padded silently away, in the direction of the well. Kamia grinned and followed him, waving a goodbye to the still shocked others.

This was going to be a fun day.

Cliffie! I love cliffies. If you want them two to go to a specific place somewhere, please tell me. I might be able to fit it in. Short chapter. As usual. Oh well. All my longer chapter are going to Four Souls… Other then that, the next chapter will merely be Sesshoumaru's trip to the modern world. (grins evilly) This is so fun. By the way the dog form Sesshoumaru is in right now is like a husky form. Thank you for all those reviews!
