I do not own Inuyasha (but I wish I did), though I do own Amily and any other none Inuyasha characters that show up.

Chapter 9.

Truth Told.

The next morning everyone woke to the sound of howling winds and rain pounding against the side of the building. Songo Groaned and rubbed the back of her aching neck, they had only been up for an hour and already they where out of things to do, they had eaten and cleaned what little dishes there where, Kagome had rubbed ointment into Amily's wings to ease the pain. They had done everything that needed to be done. Song let her head fall back against the cabin walls, she was slowly going stir crazy, she needed something to do before she cracked, and it seemed as if she wasn't the only one. Kagome sat leaning back against the wall also and was tapping her hand against her leg, Shippo looked like he was cooking up an idea that would get Inuyasha angry.

'That might not be such a bad thing'

Songo thought to her self as she looked to see what Inuyasha was doing, he was polishing his Tetsusaig, Miroku was in the corner meditating and Amily looked like she had seen better days, she had caught a slight cold from flying in the rain, she sat there grumbling her expression sour and her attitude not much better, at the moment she reminded Songo of the time she once accidentally stepped on Kilala's tail. Kilala had glared at her for a week straight. Thinking of the little demon Songo looked for her companion and found her near the fire sleeping. Hearing Miroku shuffle slightly she looked at him and sighed silently to her self. She would never admit it to anyone but she really cared for the monk and wished daily that he would give up his lecherous ways so she could be with him. If he liked her back, she didn't know if he did or not. Sighing to her self she knew it didn't matter one way or another until he stopped hitting on other women she couldn't be sure if he would be faithful to her if they were together, who was she kidding Songo knew she more then just liked Miroku. She loved him with all her heart, now she knew to some degree how Kagome felt when she was in love with Inuyasha, always hoping that he would return her love if she just loved him enough back, that he would forget the other woman but after 2 years of trying to get him to love her back Kagome had finally given up on him, realizing that he would always belong to the dead clay doll, Kikyo.

'If he doesn't change his ways, will I eventually give up on him as well?'

Songo thought to her self.

Little did Songo know, the same thoughts were going through a certain monks mind, as he looked at the demon hunter out of the corner of his eye, though unlike Songo he was totally honest with himself and knew that he loved her dearly, wishing he could be with her, but he didn't know if she loved him back. She was always so distant around him, sure she was friendly with him at times but never like she was with Kagome or Inuyasha, the day he had realized that he loved her he had stopped sleeping with other women, and he only truly tried his lecherous tactics with the beautiful demon hunter. Every time he would go up to her to tell her how he felt he would always chicken out, but he knew that if he wanted to be with her he would have to tell her.

'If I wait to long, will I lose her?'

Miroku thought to himself silently. He stopped his train of thought when he felt something tingle on the back of his neck; he knew something big was going to happen.

The group jumped when the suddenly herd Inuyasha yell out.

"You stupid pain in the ass!"

And began chasing Shippo around the cabin trying to catch him. Shippo jumped onto Amily's lap, who instantly put her arms around the little child.

"Come here, you little runt!"

Amily looked up at the dog demon and glared.

"Leave him alone Inuyasha, non of us want to hear you yelling right now"

Inuyasha growled at her and narrowed his eyes.

"Shut the fuck up and mind your own damn business, he started it so I'm going to finish it"

Amily hugged Shippo even close her to protectively and even though she was sick and feeling pretty weak at the moment she could still manage to look intimidating, or at least try.

"Fuck off Inuyasha, I don't want to hear you yelling right now, my head hurts enough as it is with you adding to it"

Inuyasha growled at her and flexed his claws.

"What are you gonna do huh? Sneeze all over me?"

While the two argued Shippo grinned, he was proud of himself for getting some kind of action started, they had all been bored out of their minds and now they where all watching Inuyasha and Amily fighting with interest.

"Fuck off you damn dog, or I'll kick your ass again"

Inuyasha bared his fangs and flexed his claws again.

"You really are pathetic you stupid freak, I bet that where ever you came from you were kicked out, because that village didn't want a freak like you in it, I bet your parent were happy to get rid of you"

Amily gasped and jerked as if she had been smacked in the face, every one stared at Inuyasha because of his overly cruel words. Kagome was about to sit Inuyasha when Amily, putting Shippo aside got up and with tear filled eyes screamed at Inuyasha.

"Your right, my town probably is happy that I'm gone, and I bet that my mother is happy to be rid of me, but at lease I have a mother, at least I can say that I have a mother, at least I can say that I was able to grow up some where, yeah my life was hell, but at least I can say that I belonged!"

Inuyasha stopped and looked at her.

'How did she…'

His eyes suddenly bled red and his hand shot out and gripped Amily by her throat, and lifted her up off the ground. Everyone shot up to help Amily but Inuyasha growled viciously stopping everyone in his or her tracks. Amily grabbed onto his hands trying to get him to let her go, she gasped for air as he lifted her even higher.

"How do you know that? How do you know about my past, when we have only known you for a few weeks? Who are you? We never told you any of those things, so how do you know?"

Amily shook her head and tried even harder to get to let her go, but he only shook her.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW?"

He raged, screaming out.

"I… know about… everyone here… I knew about you… all… when I first… saw you…"

She gasped out as she fought for air. Silent engulfed the cabin as everyone stared at her.

"Do you work for Naraku?"

Inuyasha bit out savagely. Amily shook her head.

"No"

Inuyasha's eyes turned an even darker red.

"DO YOU FUCKING WORK FOR NARAKU?"

"NO!"

She yelled back weakly as spots began to swim in front of her eyes, she began to lose consciousness.

Seeing that Amily was going to pass out from lack of air and not wanting her to be hurt, Kagome ran up to Inuyasha and placed her hands on his arm.

"Please Inuyasha, you're killing her, let her go"

He turned his head and glared at her.

"Fuck off Kagome and let me handle this."

Kagome gripped his arm tightly.

"Please Inuyasha, if you kill her we wont be able to find out how she knows about us"

Inuyasha growled at her his eyes staying red.

"I told you to fuck off Kagome!"

She looked at Amily and saw that her struggles where beginning to lessen and her eyes where trying to stay open.

"Inuyasha… please!"

She said beginning to beg.

"Fuck the hell off you stupid bitch"

He snarled and tightened his grip on Amily's neck. Tears began to fill Kagome's eyes as she noticed the Amily's struggles where just about stopped, and Kagome felt a deep anger in her break loose she looked at Inuyasha and she glared at him, as she began to tremble and a soft pink aura surrounded her with out her notice.

"Inuyasha I swear to Kami if you do not let her go I sill say 'it'"

He growled at her and didn't let go. By now Amily had stopped moving and was hanging limp in Inuyasha's hand. The pink aura flared around Kagome as she screamed out.

"Sit, sit, sit, sit, and SIT!"

Inuyasha's eyes became normal and he yelped, he was slammed down extremely hard against the floor, Songo jumped behind Amily to catch her as Inuyasha lost his grip on her neck leaving cuts on the sides of her neck and the top part of her chest. While Inuyasha was pinned to the floor, Songo gently laid the unconscious Amily onto the floor. Kagome went to her quickly. Songo looked up at Kagome.

"She's not breathing. He killed her"

Hearing this, Miroku began to pray for the young girl, and Shippo began to cry, and Inuyasha thought.

'What did I just do?'

Kagome kneeled over Amily and checked the side of her neck for a pulse, being careful of the cuts. And was relieved when she found a very weak heartbeat.

"She's still alive her heart's beating"

Everyone who could, looked at her in shock, as Kagome gently pushed Songo out of the way and calling one those two years of first aid training, she tilted Amily's head back. Kagome opened Amily's mouth and pinched her nose shut, and breathed into the girls' mouth, then sat back and whispered silently to her self.

"One… two… three… four… five"

And breathed into Amily's mouth again, and once again she counted.

"One… Two… Three… Four"

Miroku, Songo and Shippo watched on in shock, as Kagome performed Mouth to Mouth on Amily. Kagome kept breathing for Amily and checked for a pulse every few second, when nothing happened Kagome began to panic.

"Come on Amily, wake up. You can't die. Please don't die Amily. Inuyasha if she dies, I swear to Kami I'll purify you!"

Kagome snarled out the last part. Miroku began to prey again but this time he was preying for the winged girl to wake up, Songo and Shippo even Inuyasha (even if it was to save his own sorry ass from Kagome's wrath) began to prey. With tears running down Kagome's cheeks she leaned down and breathed again into Amily's mouth, and stopped when Amily gasped and began chocking and coughing, rolling onto her side Amily fought to get air into her lungs. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, seeing their friend was okay. Kagome fell back onto her but breathing heavily and felt her tears turn from fear to relief as she watched Amily curl up on her side taking in big deep breath's of air. Getting up Kagome sat down beside Amily and hugged her close rubbing her back.

"It's okay Amily, you're okay"

Hearing a noise Kagome looked up and saw Inuyasha was finally freed from the sitting spell and was watching them. She glared at him as she stroked Amily's hair gently.

"How could you Inuyasha, she almost died!"

Going on the defence he growled.

"Who cares, she's probably working for Naraku or is one of his reincarnations"

"You could have at least let her tell us how she knows about us with out almost killing her first you stupid baka"

Crossing his arms over his chest.

"Keh, what ever"

Kagome narrowed her eyes at him, and he got the bad feeling he was about to be sat again, and he was right.

"SIT!"

Inuyasha crashed against the floor creating another crater.

"I'm not… working for Naraku, and I'm not a …reincarnation of his"

Amily said weakly as she rested against Kagome, everyone looked down at her, and waited for her to explain. She sat up weakly with a little help from Kagome and leaned against a wall. She watched as Kagome got a bowl of water and some rags, then winced as Kagome began to clean the cuts on her neck.

"I want you to know, that I have never worked for that monster Naraku, yes I know about him, and yes I knew all of you existed before I met you"

Amily started softly, so as not to hurt her burning throat, she smiled down at Shippo as he brought her a cup of water.

"Why didn't you tell us that you already knew us?"

Asked the little kitsune. Amily sighed sadly. "

Because I didn't know how, I still don't know how."

As Kagome began to wrap a bandage around Amily's neck she said.

"Well why don't you start from the beginning then"

Amily sighed once more and looked from Kagome to the others.

"I don't know if I can, because it will really affect you guys greatly"

"How will it affect us Amily?"

Asked Songo as she sat down in font of the girl, Miroku joined her. Taking a sip water, Amily decided that if she wanted to keep her friend ship she had better be honest.

"You'll understand what I mean in a minute. You see I don't come from here…"

They all herd a muffled.

"Well du'h"

From Inuyasha which caused him to be sat again by Kagome. Shaking her head and sighing Amily continued.

"I don't even come from the future like Kagome does"

Hearing Kagome gasp Amily looked at her.

"Yes Kagome I know where you come from, I know a lot of things about you, about all of you. You see I come from a different world then yours. The night I came here I was at home watching T.V. my favourite television show actually… and there was a storm and my mom told me to turn the T.V. off, so after some convincing from my mom because I really liked this show I was watching, I finally got up to turn the T.V. off, but when I touched it lightning stuck something, a power line I'm guessing and then next thing I know I feel like I'm being sucked into the T.V., when I wake up I'm in this forest and my arm is hurt I manage to walk a little but then I pass out again, when I wake up again all you guys are there"

Kagome looked at Amily, getting a very bad feeling.

"But, if I may ask, how doest that enable you to know who we are, unless on being transported here you were given knowledge of us"

Miroku said, looked at Amily. Kagome looked at them as her heart began pounding.

"I don't think that's how she knew us Miroku"

They stopped at looked at Kagome.

"It was the show you where watching on T.V. wasn't it Amily"

Amily nodded and looked down pulling on the bottom of her shirt and whispered.

"The T.V. show I was watching, was called INUYASHA"

Everyone stopped and looked at her, his or her eyes opened wide. They had heard about a T.V. and what it did from Kagome. That it showed moving pictures in a box, and Inuyasha had even seen some of the moving pictures, himself when he went to Kagome's time. Kagome looked at Amily.

"We… we're not real?"

Amily looked at Kagome feeling sympathy for the girl.

"Of course you are Kagome. You breathe, don't you? You feel things, right? You love and hate and feel anger and pain. Your heart beats. You are real and alive, all of you are. It's just that were I come from people are able to watch you, and see the adventures you and Songo, Miroku, Inuyasha, and Shippo go through"

"They see… everything?"

Miroku said nervously, while blushing brightly. Amily Smiled at him softly.

"No Miroku they don't see, everything. They don't see you guys naked or doing naughty things"

Amily smiled when they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"And don't worry, everyone thinks you guys aren't real so they don't think anything of it. But you and I both know that you all are real, so don't think your not"

Picking up Shippo she hugged him close and smiled at them.

"I know you guys are real, or else I wouldn't be here right now"

Songo looked thoughtful for a moment and then said.

"Yes but if we are a show in your world then how did you get here"

Amily looked at her and had to think hard on this one.

"Well… looked at it as me going through like a time portal like Kagome does, only except this portal let me go from my world to yours"

They all nodded but she could tell that they still didn't get it.

" I think it's a bunch a bull shit"

Grumbled Inuyasha, everyone turned and saw that he was no longer making friendly with the floor. Amily rolled her eyes.

"I don't care. If you don't believe me. It's the truth"

"Amily?"

Hearing her name and feeling a small hand on hers she looked down at Shippo who was sitting in her lap.

"Yes Shippo?"

He looked back up at her with curious eyes.

"When Inuyasha was attacking you, why didn't you fight back, we know you can kick his butt, we've seen you do it"

Amily smiled and hugged Shippo close and even though she could hear Inuyasha growling, she responded anyways.

"I didn't fight back, because you might not want to have me as your friend anymore, but I still see you all, as friends"

She looked down and whispered softly as tears filled her cheeks.

"Even as the family members I never really had, I see Kagome and Songo as the two sweet kind, strong and brave sisters I never had, I see Miroku and Inuyasha…"

She stopped and looked at him, and watched as he looked back at her with something in his eyes that she couldn't quite figure out.

"Yes Inuyasha even you, though you are a pain in my ass, I see you and Miroku as the brothers I always wanted but never got"

She felt a tugging on her sleeve.

"What about me Amily?"

She looked back down at Shippo.

"I see you as a nephew. That's why I didn't fight Inuyasha back, because in the short time I have been here I have grown to love you all very much, and even though it meant my life, I couldn't bring my self to betray you all in such a way, and even though I may hit him when he gets out of line I could never ever really bring myself to seriously hurt him, even though he is an asshole"

Amily was knocked back when Shippo launched himself at her and hugged her tightly, Amily smiled and rubbed his small back, then sighed sadly and gently set him aside a got up weakly.

"But… I understand if neither of you want me here anymore, so I will just gather my things and be off"

She begin to go around the cabin and begin picking her things up when she felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned and saw Songo there looking at her smiling her eyes moist with tears.

"We don't want you to leave Amily, we want you stay with us… please"

Tears begin to run down Amily's cheeks.

"I don't want to leave, I want to stay with you guys"

Songo hugged Amily tight, and Amily returned the embrace, shocking Songo when Amily brought her wings out to the font and rested them on Songo's back, in a double embrace. When they pulled apart Miroku smiled and said.

"Do you hear anything?"

Everyone stopped and listened and heard nothing, no howling winds, no pounding wind, they all smiled including a certain inu hanyou, as they quickly went to the door and opened it. Sky was blue and the air smelled sweet, of fresh rain, life, and a new beginning.

"It appears as if the storm has passed"

Said Miroku and everyone got the feeling that he wasn't just talking about the weather.

"Well then lets get to the village, before there's nothing left of it"

Said Amily in a bright and cheery voice.

Everyone smiled and nodded in agreement as they turned and began picking their things up to head to the village.
