Chapter 2

An Explanation of sorts

Note- Hello peoples I'm sooooo sorry that it took me so long to update... (curse school) it tis ebil. But I am NOT going to drop this fic anytime soon. I promised myself that. SO thanks for staying with me. On with the ficcy.

"So... you're a chimera thing?" Kagome agsed, puzzeled.

Dorochet nodded, "Yeah, I'm half dog,"

Kagome looked over at Inuyasha, "So is Inuyasha,"

Dorochet looked confused, "I thought he was a demon?"

Inuyasha glared at him, "No, he's only a half demon... but his demon half is a dog," Kagome whispered.

"I HEARD THAT!" Inuyasha shouted pointing at his ears, "These aren't just a fashion statement you know!" then he glared even more fiercely at Kagome.

"Well you ARE HALF DOG!" Kagome spat back.

Dorochet grinned instinctively.

"So what's a chimera anyways?" Inuyasha said bitterly glancing at Dorochet,

"A human who's been sort of... fused with an animal," Dorochet was a bit uncomfortable talking about the past.

Kagome seemed to understand his uneasiness and changed the subject, "So, when did you come from, I don't think we have Chimera's in my time,"

Dorochet shrugged, "I've never been good with dates,"

Inuyasha eyed him suspiciously, "How do we know your telling us the truth? You could be one of Naraku's reincarnations in disguise,"

Dorochet grinned, "Who?"

Kagome glared at Inuyasha, "Don't be so suspicious. I don't sense any shards nearby," Inuyasha grumbled.

Dorochet cocked his head, "Shards... of what?"

Kagome smiled, "You should hear this somewhere else... this place isn't really safe," Dorochet nodded, smelling odd creatures everywhere, and followed Inuyasha and Kagome into a village, and then a hut.

Kaede came out of one of the back rooms of her hut, he face covered with a type of veil, "And who's this?" she asked taking off her veil,

"His names Dorochet. He said he came out of the well,"

Kaede studied him, "He's not from your time then?"

Kagome shook her head. Dorochet wondered around the hut looking at herbs and finally stopping when he saw the sword, "That's my sword," he gasped, plucking it off the wall, "It even has the original sheath. I lost that years ago,"

Kaede smiled, "That sword belongs to Inuyasha. It was made from his father's fang,"

Inuyasha growed and took the blade out of his hands, "Yeah, so it can't be yours,"

Kaede smiled, "Inuyasha, that's not intirely true,"

Inuyasha looked over at her, "What are you talking about old hag?"

Kaede lost her smile, but continued talking, "Dorochet is from the future, so maybe then it is his,"

Dorochet glanced around, "I've seen weirder things,"

Kagome then remembered why they came, "Kaede, Dorochet wants to know about the jewel,"

Kaede sighed, "Alright then," she looked at Dorochet, "Long ago a priestess was batting..." she went on and on and on about this and that... by the end of the story, "And then the jewel was cracked and spread all over the world. Kagome and Inuyasha, along with a group of others, try to track down the jewel and bring it back together,"

Dorochet's eyes flickered to the pieces of glowing stone hanging around Kagome's neck. Laughing he sighed, "So you're the ones who made it,"

Kagome tilted her head, "What do you mean?"

"That jewel," Dorochet growled, "It the reason I am what I am. That damn stone makes everyone crazy, they thought the Ishbalans had it, so they died, they thought we had an idea where it was, so Greed was attacked," Dorochet slammed his fist on the ground, "People can be so stupid, searching out the god damned Philosopher's Stone."

Everyone watched as Dorochet's hair stood on end and he grew fangs. His ears pointed back and his nose jutted out, "Dorochet!" Kagome gasped backing away. When his transformation was complete, Dorochet looked like a true dog demon,

"My god," Kaede gasped as Dorochet started to revert to his original self, "What happened to you?"

Dorochet grumbled, "I don't like to talk about my past,"

Kaede looked him in the eyes, "You will if you want a future,"
