Shiho walked back into the camp behind Sesshomaru. She looked around to see Yasha eating with Sesshomaru's girls. Yasha looked up at Shiho before going back to eating as if he were trying to ignore her. Shiho went up to him and nuzzled her muzzle into Yasha's arm that was holding the chopsticks as a way to say sorry.

"Shiho stop it." Yasha said pushing his arm away.

Shiho whimpered as she lay next to him staring at him with wide eyes.

"Mom, can you make Shiho leave me alone?" Yasha whined not looking from his food.

Kagome looked up from her food, "Shiho come over here- I saved some food for you too."

Shiho got up as she went over to Kagome. She picked the bowl up with her mouth and walked over to Yasha with it. She lay next to him eating a small bit and looking up at him.

Yasha sighed as he refused to look at the dog. Everyone was in silence as they felt the tension coming between the two. That was until Yasha smacked the side of his neck yelling, "Owe."

Everyone looked at Yasha who was looking in his hands. Sure enough there sat the pest that followed Inuyasha around several years ago…at least when it was safe to do so.

"That's an odd type of bug." Yasha whispered as he wiped it on the grass.

Shiho got up and walked where the little pest was wiped as it jumped on the tip of her muzzle.

"So Sesshomaru wasn't joking around. Master Inuyasha's son did return." It said looking at Yasha as Shiho looked at her snout cross eyed.

"Who are you?" Yasha asked as everyone crowd around the animal. That was except Sesshomaru.

"Sorry to not introduce myself." He said as he cleared his throat. "I am Myoga the flea. I followed your father, master Inuyasha, no matter where he went."

"No matter where he went huh?" Kagome asked.

"Ah, Lady Kagome, it has been a long time since I have seen you." He said bowing.

"Yeah it has been a while. Still running away from trouble?" she asked, obviously not amused.

"Actually, I will let you know that I have been getting a lot better when trouble is around. I only run when it is life threatening."

"Which is how often?" Kagome asked.

The flea was silent, "Not too often."

Kagome let out a chuckle.

"Master Inuyasha said to make sure you were safe when he was gone but when I came around, you were already gone through the well." He told Kagome. "Such a terrible night, so much fire and carnage." He said remembering when he came by the next day.

"I would rather not remember that night." Kagome whispered going back to her bowl of food.

"Yes, I would assume so. I only saw the aftermath; I can not imagine how it was to be in that castle while it burnt. You were so lucky to make it out alive."

"Castle?" Yasha whispered, "The burning castle from the stories you told me? That really happened?" he asked his mother.

Kagome looked stunned, how did he piece it so easily? She had to tell him the truth. Now that they were in the feudal era, everything was going to come out whether she wanted it or not. Yasha knew the truth, but he only knew them as stories not something that could really happen.

Kagome sighed, "Yasha, come with me, let me tell you the truth. The whole truth." Kagome whispered as she grabbed Yasha's hand. She looked at everyone who was bewildered. "Please do not follow, I would like to talk to him alone." She said before she walked off, to the sacred tree.

Shiho scraped Myoga off her snout with her paw before running after the two.

"What truth?" Yasha asked as they stood in front of the sacred tree.

"Yasha, I didn't always go to school and do well. Your father wasn't just killed because he tried to save us. We met on bad terms when we first met. You see your father and I met at this very tree." Kagome said as she looked at the sacred tree. "See where the scar is? That was where he was pinned to it for fifty years. He stayed there looking peaceful. I fell through the well and when I came to this side, I saw him pinned right up there. When he first came too, we were always fighting. We were both kids." Kagome laughed at her memories.

"I remember that story. The two met because of a centipede." Yasha said, remembering how all her stories seemed so real- as if she experienced everything first hand.

Shiho sniffed around the tree. She then sat next to Kagome rubbing her head on Kagome's legs.

"I broke the sacred jewel on accident." Kagome held out the jewel that she used to come over. "I broke it and thus started our journey. On our way around feudal Japan, we met a kitsune named Shippo, a demon slayer named Sango, and a monk named Miroku. We quickly became fast friends. Inuyasha was the one that brought us together. If it weren't for him, then we would have never met."

"She followed him around no matter where he went." Yasha whispered straight from one of Kagome's stories.

"Yeah, I did." Kagome whispered. "Well you see Yasha, this jewel that I hold in my hands, can be used for good and evil. Many demons wanted it so that they could do evil things. That was how a demon named Naraku was born; he did cruel things to anyone who had any ties to the jewel. Our mission turned from getting the sacred jewel shards to destroying Naraku."

"Just like the story you used to tell me. I remember them all. Then that fateful night." Yasha whispered remember the next part of the story.

"Yes, on one journey, we decided to take a rest for the night. That was when your father and I were captured. At the time we didn't announce our love to each other. It was still a secret. We were brought to a place where they chose to sell us as if we were animals to anyone who would buy us."

Yasha nodded.

Shiho seem to recall the times. She took a deep breath and then released it.

"I was taken away to live with a guy, that man and I were in a forced marriage. It took me several months but I finally found your father." Shiho let out a bark. "Or your father found me. We were going to leave there as soon as we could but some things came up and we were separated again." Kagome sighed.

Shiho let out a whine as she lay down crossing her paws and putting her head down on them.

"Your dad came to get me on the day you were born. The only problem was the person who I was forced to be with didn't like that you…well looked like your father. He tried to kill us until your dad stepped in. What happened after that I don't know? I was forced to leave the building. I never saw your father alive after that." Kagome whispered looking at the dog that seemed very mournful at the time. "Maybe one day we can piece everything together." Kagome whispered.

"And that whole thing is the truth? There wasn't a lie in there?" Yasha asked staring at Shiho.

"No, everything was true. You are old enough to know the truth now." Kagome whispered. "Can you give Shiho and me some time alone?" she asked the child.

"Sure I will go back to the others." He said as he walked off still thinking of what Kagome just told him.

Kagome looked over into the trees as Shiho barked. "Come on out." Kagome yelled.

Sesshomaru came from behind the trees. "I never heard the story." Sesshomaru told them.

Shiho barked at him.

"Yes, now I have." He said to the dog

"So you can understand him…I mean her right?" Kagome asked.

"Yes that is right."

"Can you interpret for me then? I need to know what happened after I left."

Sesshomaru looked down at the dog as she began to bark. "He says that nothing happened after you left. He says that he was able to kill the man and then on his way out, he had a piece of burning wood fall on him. He says he doesn't want you to worry though because he died from the smoke before he was burned so he didn't feel too much from it. He was just glad to you know you were alive."

Kagome smiled as a tear came to her eye.

"However." Sesshomaru continued as the dog barked. "It seems he is upset with how you took care of his son. He is very mad that you kept his son's whole past a secret and wants you to know that he was very upset that you did it. He never wanted you to lie to his son." when the dog was done Sesshomaru looked down at the dog, "That seemed harsh even coming from me." He told her.

The dog barked back.

"I understand how you felt but you have to understand how…" they both stopped their argument when Kagome ran off crying. "Told you." Sesshomaru said whispered.

Shiho started to run after Kagome before looking back at Sesshomaru letting out a yelp.

"I won't come with you…I don't care if I can translate."

Shiho barked again.

"You will figure something out." He said as he walked away.

Shiho ran into the woods to find Kagome. Shiho sniffed around as she ran through the woods. She finally found Kagome sitting against a tree with her knees up to her chest. Shiho came up and put a wet nose on Kagome's arm.

"Go away." Kagome whispered. "I tried to do the right thing for our son and I just get yelled at by you. And don't say you didn't yell at me because if you were your normal self, you would have yelled at me."

Shiho licked Kagome as she let out a few sounds.

"No, don't try and comfort me now." Kagome said moving her back at the dog. "I don't even know what you are saying but I don't care."

Shiho jumped on Kagome making her topple over.

"No, Inuyasha stop."

Shiho let out a yip from the name she had yet to be called again, coming from Kagome's mouth. She jumped at Kagome again.

"Stop." Kagome said again as Shiho finally toppled her over. Kagome finally let out a laugh as the dog lapped her face. "I liked you better as a hanyo, you weren't so slobbery." Kagome said laughing as she pushed the dog off her.

Shiho nuzzled against her leg.

"I know Hai is your other half but I just don't know if we really were meant for each other." Kagome whispered petting the dog. Shiho then pulled at Kagome's shirt, making a small rip and tore some of the fabric from the bottom. She ran ahead of Kagome as Kagome ran behind her yelling, "Get back here, that's not funny."

Shiho was hopping ahead as she made sure Kagome was running with her. They were both having fun as Shiho played keep away from Kagome. Shiho didn't want to go back to the group yet as she made a different turn to go where she meant to take Kagome five hundred years ago.

"Where are you going now?" Kagome asked seeing her veer off.

Shiho was prancing along as she kept out of reach of Kagome. They finally made it to a hill that over looked the whole village.

Kagome let out a gasp in surprise. "How did you know about up here?" she asked as the dog just looked at her. "Sorry, I guess you would know this place better than I do." Kagome whispered as she sat on the top of the hill.

Shiho lay down next to her.

"I wish some things could have been different. I mean if your human self could remember everything like you do it would make everything easier."

Shiho watched as the people in the village started their chores in the village.

"I missed you for so long. I didn't think that you would be brought back as a dog or at least a female dog. I remember being told by Kaede that there is only a reincarnation if the person had left over business." Kagome started to scratch behind Shiho's ears as she leaned into Kagome hand. "I just don't know what you had to do. Or Koga or Sesshomaru. You said they were reincarnated as dogs but for what reason?"

Shiho put out her neck as Kagome started to pet under her chin until Shiho rolled over showing her belly to Kagome. Kagome smiled as she started to scratch Shiho's belly.

"I see you found your soft spot while being a dog." Kagome smiled while laughing at the dogs reactions. "I just want to know what you have left to do. If you left with no regrets then why did you come back?"

Shiho rolled back over and looked up at Kagome with a solemn look. She never thought of the reason why she was back here. She went through several lives as a dog, always finding her human self to watch him carefully but when she saw Kagome at the pound. When Kagome was looking for a dog. She knew she had to get her attention, she knew that she had to be with Kagome again. It was an instinct that she couldn't get rid of even when she wasn't a hanyo anymore. Nor did she wonder why she was brought back as a girl the same time that Kagome found her. All the other times, she was a male and then this one time, she was a female. What luck?

Shiho let out a whimper as she came closer to Kagome. Kagome smiled as she looked back at the sky as a shooting star went by. "A shooting star in the day time! Make a wish." Kagome yelled closing her eyes.

When Kagome opened her eyes, she looked down to see Shiho's eyes still closed. She smiled as the dog seemed to be thinking hard. When the dog reopened them, she acted like herself again.

"What did you wish for?" Kagome asked.

Shiho barked at her.

"I know you aren't supposed to tell people." Kagome laughed, she didn't know what Shiho was saying but that didn't matter when you are joking and no one was around. "You want to know what I wished for?" she asked. "I wished that, if there was a chance that you could be brought back as a hanyou in this time again. That it could happen." Kagome said petting the dogs head. "Imagine if we could be like old times without the yelling. Actually I liked the yelling." Kagome laughed.
