Hi everyone! So, it's been almost 10 years since I stopped writing fanfics and became an avid reader. The first chapters might be a bit dodgy since my fanfic wiritng skills are a bit rusty, but I hope you'll enjoy the idea and bear with me.
AUTHOR NOTE UPDATE (3 October 2018):So, I forgot to mention. The story is set after the well closes. If you want to find out what happened, how they reunited, well read the story ^_^
Also, I changed the genre to mystery because there's a lot of misterious things happening and because I can't spoil the fun by answering some question. It would finish to fast.
Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Confusion
There was light and multiple people were yelling, making his poor ears cringe in pain. He closed his eyes involuntary and slowly, things started to clear up and he could finally understand something. A voice. A pitchy annoying voice that was literally yelling into his year again and again:
"Inuyasha, INUYASHA, INUYASHA!"
"Damn it Shippo, STOP!" Inuyasha shouted rubbing his eyes.
The moment Inuyasha replied, Shippo jumped as far as possible and hid behind Kagome.
"KAGOME, HE HIT, IT HURST, OUCH, OUCH, OUC…" Shippo stopped mid-complain realising Inuyasha didn't hit him.
Shippo thought the hanyou might have missed him or was too sleepy to have noticed his closeness, but his behaviour proved him wrong.
"Oh, Shippo, it's you. What do you want?" Inuyasha asked in a nice uncharacteristic manner.
"Ah, I, well." Shippo stammered taken aback by his kind behaviour.
"The break you granted as 'puny humans' has ended and we need to keep moving in finding the jewel shards. We were just about to leave when we realised you were actually sleeping. We couldn't believe the 'mighty Inuyasha' was actually sleeping like a human who needs sleep, so we allowed Shippo to wake you up. Any problem, my friend?" Miroku said in a sarcastic voice.
Inuyasha looked at Miroku, then looked around, then back at Miroku.
"Jewel shards? Why?"
"Why?! What do you mean why?!" Miroku asked exasperated.
"Inuyasha, did you fall out of the tree and hit your head or something?" Shippo asked jumping on his head.
"NO." He replied and took Shippo by the tail and handed him to an even more surprised Miroku.
"Inuyasha, not that I am complaining, but aren't you going to hit Shippo?"
"No, why would I do that?" Inuyasha replied automatically while continuing to scan the area. He looked lost and confused.
Kagome and Sango had been watching the boys the whole time and were surprised as well by Inuyasha's uncharacteristically friendly behaviour. In fact, Kagome came closer and touched Inuyasha's forehead, searching for any fever. Inuyasha absently removed her hand, mumbling an "I'm fine", kissed her cheek and went in the middle of the camp. He made a 180 turn, then addressed Kagome:
"So, where are the kids? Did we leave them with…Kagome, are you OK?"
Kagome was madly blushing and couldn't move from the spot. 'Did Inuyasha just kissed me?! JUST LIKE THAT?!' Her shock grew even bigger when she heard the words kids. She had no idea what Inuyasha was talking about or more exactly this concerned Inuyasha who was staring at her with his hands on her shoulders. She managed to mumble:
"Kids?"
"Wait a minute…weren't we all having a picnic?"
"Inuyasha, are you crazy?" Kagome asked.
"No, of course, I'm not crazy! I thought Miroku was making fun of me. So, we're not at a picnic?"
"No."
"No kids around, besides Shippo?"
"No…what's this kids you keep on asking about?"
"And we're looking for jewel shards?"
"YES."
"So…you don't know, I mean we are, I mean, do you know our current relationship?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean…Kagome, does the name Sayu or Sayuki ring a bell to you?"
"Inuyasha, you are very confusing. What's with these names? What kids and what relationship?" Kagome was growing nervous and Inuyasha could feel it.
'She doesn't remember anything…'
Inuyasha released Kagome and turned to Miroku who was whispering with Sango and Shippo in the back.
"Miroku, what's your relationship with Sango?"
"WHAT?!" Sango gasped while blushing.
"Well, Inuyasha, we are travelling companions, but I am sure my dear Sango understands that I have intentions of…OUCH."
Miroku tried to grope Sango again which resulted into a direct hit.
"So, just to be clear, we're looking for jewel shards and no one has kids or a more developed relationship then travelling companions?" Inuyasha asked.
Everyone felt silent and starred at Inuyasha.
"I think he's possessed. Miroku, you or Kagome should try and purify him." Shippo whispered.
Inuyasha lowered his head, so they couldn't see his eyes. Then he straightens up, took a grumpy face and said:
"OK, Puny humans, enough playing around and distractions. Let's find the jewel shards. Follow me!"
"Inuyasha, that's the way we came from. It's the opposite way." Kagome told him.
"Opposite way, Kagome leads!" Inuyasha announced as he grabbed her hand and started walking in the correct direction.
Kagome was again taken aback by Inuyasha's actions. Not that she minded Inuyasha's recent closeness to her, but she was feeling uneasy about it. What happened to her grumpy hanyou? Was he really possessed? What about Kikyo?
"Kagome, you're stressing too much, everything is going to be fine. And I'm not possessed. Are the others following us?"
"What?! How did you know what I was thinking?! Was I thinking out loud?!"
"Yes…" Inuyasha quickly replied realising he's acting out of character again.
Kagome suddenly stopped, let go of his hands and stepped back.
"Kagome, wha…"
"Sit boy."
But nothing happened. Inuyasha didn't even flinch. Everyone's eyes were wide. That wasn't Inuyasha. Kagome froze. Miroku and Sango took a fighting position.
"Kagome, step slowly back from him." Miroku instructed.
Kagome was confused. The beads weren't working, but that person in front of her was certainly Inuyasha. She knew it, because she could feel it.
"Kagome, that's not Inuyasha, go away!" Shippo warned.
"It is Inu…" It seemed that's all Inuyasha needed to know before he grabbed Kagome and started running as far as possible from their friends.
"KAGOME!"
"NOOO!"
"Naraku, it was a trap…"
