Memories Past
Chapter one:
The past is unsure
'"Hey there Ericko," someone called.
The young woman spun around to find her best friend calling her.
"Oh hey Suko," greeted Ericko. "What are you doing here?"
Suko smiled. "Can't I visit my best friend?"
"Well, that depends," replied Ericko.
Both of the ladies laughed and headed inside the mansion. They found that their children were gone.
"Where could those kids be?" they both asked at the same time.
.v.
Laughter was in the air as two little children chased each other with a game of tag.
"You can't catch me," sneered a little boy.
"Oh yeah," shouted the little girl.
They ran all over the deserted fields playing cheerfully. Then all of a sudden, the little girl slipped and fell down. Her knee was bleeding non-stop. The little boy turned around and went to the girl's aid.
"Kag?" he asked. "Are you alright?"
The little girl smiled. "There's nothing to worry about Inu, I'm okay," she assured but then winced at the pain.
"What do you mean your okay?" retorted the little boy. "Your knee is bleeding so much."
Then he had an idea. "Hey Kag, climb on my back," he insisted. "I'll take you home."
The little girl nodded and slowly climbs on his back. The little boy swiftly ran to the mansion to find their mothers, drinking tea.
"Mom, Kagome's hurt," he said.
"Oh dear," said Ericko. "Kagome, are you alright dear?"
Kagome nodded. "It's just a scratch mom, nothing serious."
"Come on dear, let's clean that scratch," said Ericko as she pulled Kagome into the bathroom.
Suko turned to her son. "What happened here Inuyasha?" she asked with her arms crossed.
Inuyasha looked at the floor and said, "Well, me and Kagome were playing tag and then she slipped over something and got hurt."
Suko went on her hind legs and said, "At least there wasn't any drastic accident."
Kagome and her mother came back. Everything was fine now.
"Okay, you kids shouldn't play tag again," informed Ericko and she turned to Kagome. "Kagome dear, why don't you show Inuyasha the wine cellar?"
Kagome nodded and took Inuyasha's hand. They left the room in a split second.
Ericko sat down on the couch. "Now, where were we?"
They both smiled and continued talking about various things.
.v.
"Here it is Inu!" proclaimed Kagome. "This is the place where the oldest red wines are stored and my mom told me the longer the wine, the taster it is."
Inuyasha nodded in utter amazement.
Then his mind went back to the subject when Kagome got hurt.
"Uh, Kagome..." he began.
She turned around and faced him. "Yes," she asked.
"How's your knee?" he advised. "I'm really sorry."
Kagome placed her hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry Inu, it's my fault for being real clumsy."
Inuyasha just shook his head and they continued walking. They were the best of friends and nothing would change that. Nothing...
.v.
Chances are. It has.
That was day when Inuyasha and his mother had to leave and head home.
Inuyasha and Kagome were both devastated but Kagome had a surprise.
"Here Inu," she said and handed him what looks like, half of a small pink jewel with his name engraved in. "This is half of a shikon jewel that my grandpa left me. It's supposed to bring luck to whatever."
Inuyasha stared at the jewel and smiled. "Thanks Kag," he said place the necklace around his neck. "I'll always cherish it."
They both hugged each other and said their last good-byes. Last.
.v.
Ericko and Kagome were in the car and they were going to visit Inuyasha and her mother. Kagome was real excited and held on to her necklace with her name engraved.
But that night, luck wasn't with them. A car suddenly swerved into their car and crashed into each other into a nearby ditch. The passengers were not budging at all but a little girl did come out lucky as she was pulled away into a nearby river. The cars suddenly then blew up into a fire. And the remaining drivers died.
.v.
The young woman sobbed at her best friend and her best friend daughter's death.
"No!" cried Suko. "This can't happen. Why?"
Inuyasha overheard the news and now was in his room. He was seven years old. He understands concepts like these. Tears formed in his eyes.
"Kag..." he whispered as he silently held into the small half piece of jewel that Kagome gave him.
The clear night lit sky rained gloomy raindrops that made a little sound as it touches a solid surface. Little do they know little girl of six years old was found by a nearby orphanage.

Fourteen years later...

The glass doors opened for the wealthy wine experts. Everyone walked in, casually wearing elegant clothing looking all important.
Kagome rushed to get inside wearing a laced black dress that fit perfectly on her body, which went down to her knees. After a couple of steps, the security guards stopped her.
"May I have your pass miss?" asked the guard.
Kagome sighed. 'Why are they stopping me? Why aren't they checking the other people here?' She zipped open her purse to look for it. But after that second, the guards mumbled a "He's here. Mr. Tashio is here." In a split second, the guards headed for the door. Outside, a man in a ivory black suit got out of the limousine. The man looked he was in his mid- twenties and looked really handsome with his silvery white hair and dog-like ears.
Reporters were crowding in and the security guards quickly got him to the door. The man walked past Kagome as she stared after him. Looking around, Kagome followed in walking behind. She got a seat at a table with unfamiliar people. The exhibition began and the man Kagome saw before was standing on the platform.
"I'm Inuyasha Tashio and I welcome you all to examine my new wine product, 'A taste of the past,' he said.
A glass table appeared at the front platform that revealed a simple wine bottle. Kagome had her note pad out writing down that information. 'Taste of the past.'
"This here is a sweet, sensational taste of red wine I'm sure you'll all like," he exclaimed.
Kagome held up her glass of red wine and took a sip. 'Most memorable, such good taste.' As Mr. Tashio went on talking about the wine, Kagome wrote down as much as she could. But then her hand slipped and her pen fell to the floor. She looked around for her pen but there was no sign of it. Inuyasha walked by to see that she was in need of a pen so he took one out of his coat and handed it to her.
"Here, use this," he said with a smile.
Kagome grabbed the pen and thanked him.
"Well, thank you all for coming today and I hope you'd all come back again for a much newer red wine, on my next exhibition.
Everyone stood up and headed for the exit doors. Kagome placed her notepad and pen in her purse and looked back at Inuyasha. 'He seems familiar,' she shrugged at the sudden thought and followed everyone else.
Inuyasha met up with his parents who were sitting at the front table the whole time.
"That was wonderful dear," cooed Mrs. Tashio.
"That's my boy," said Mr. Tashio. "Too bad your brother couldn't witness this but he had a meeting with a Mr. Ebina at a conference in the states."
Inuyasha snarled at this. "I couldn't care less if he came or not," he sneered.
"Now Inuyasha," informed his mother. "Why can't you boys get along? After all, you both are adults."
Inuyasha shrugged and went to the exit with his parents following behind.
Kagome was standing by the curve, waiting for a taxi to come. 'Man. Where's a taxi when you need one and looked at her wrist watch. Inuyasha didn't notice her and went into his limousine. He left first as his parents wait for another to come.
Kagome was standing right beside them still waiting. The limo came up and Mr. and Mrs. Tashio started to head for the car until Mrs. Tashio slipped but Kagome caught her before she fell.
"Thank you dear," thanked Mrs. Tashio and she got into the limo.
"No problem," she replied.
Mr. Tashio was already in the limo so he didn't see the scene. And the limo took off. Mrs. Tashio couldn't help it but thought that the young girl that helped her looked fairly familiar.
