Haylo! Here's a new story I thought of putting up. Hopefully it won't drag on forever because I don't exactly have a plot. So, here it is.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Inuyasha cast although I do own Sora and Hikari.
TO FORGET AND LOVE ANOTHER
Chapter 1
The sun began to set after a long disaster-filled day in a blood sullied battlefield. Inuyasha and the others faced off against Naraku, but unlike their previous encounters with him, they didn't get away unharmed. It was Naraku and his henchmen who came out victorious.
Inuyasha had been severely wounded by a large hole through his stomach along with multiple deep slashes from Kagura's wind blades. Sango had gone unconscious due to the lack of blood, caused by her multiple scratches and bruises. Miroku had suffered a similar fate. Kirara was wounded badly in the rib cage and she passed out from the pain.
All four bodies lay limp in the bloodied field while Kagome and Shippo were elsewhere.
During the fight, Kagome was told to run and hide when all signs of winning were lost. Obeying her injured friends, she and Shippo had hurried off into the bush. Naraku had stabbed Inuyasha's torso, leaving him unconscious, before following after the priestess into the forest.
Shippo had tried to protect her, but only managed to get thrown against a large tree before falling behind a small shrub and blacking out. Now that everyone was out of his way, he advanced on Kagome and thrown her to the ground, knocking her out as her head hit a large rock. He would have killed her then, but at that moment, many arrows emerged from the foliage and pierced through him. Knowing there would be another chance to kill the girl; he fled the area and returned to his castle.
The group of people cheered happily as the demon up and ran away, saving the young lady's life. They went over to her in hopes of waking her when they noticed she was bleeding on the side of her head, coating her dark hair in thick blood.
It was no time for laughter and jokes as they picked up the frail, limp body from the ground and brought her to their village.
Kagome awoke the next morning with a throbbing head and no idea as to where she was. She wasn't only unaware of where she was, but she had no idea who she was either. She began to panic as she glanced around frantically.
An old woman entered the hut and greeted her politely. "Hello, I am the village elder, Sora. We found you wounded in the forest and brought you to our village to heal. May I ask your name?"
"I'm," Kagome started. "I'm not sure," She said as tears streamed down her cheeks.
"It is okay child," The old woman comforted. "You will remember soon enough. You can stay with us here in the village until then."
"Thank you for your kindness,"
"Why don't we get you out of that strange clothing and into something more practical? Now, you won't fit any of my clothing, but you look around the size of my daughter, Hikari." Sora said as she gestured for Kagome to join her outside. "My daughter is the priestess of this village and plays a very important role, for she is the one that heals everyone. She is, in fact, the one that healed you."
The two of them entered another hut further down, and Kagome was given clean clothes to wear.
"So, how does it fit you?" She asked Kagome.
"They're perfect," Kagome smiled back.
"They suit you well. Are you sure you aren't a priestess yourself?" Sora asked.
"I don't think so. I'm not sure. I wish I knew something. This is so frustrating," Kagome cried.
"Another priestess?" A voice behind them spoke.
They both turned to see a dark haired, brown eyed priestess behind them, carrying herbs.
"Oh, Hikari, my child, don't scare me so," Sora breathed.
"Sorry mother," She replied. "So, is this priestess the girl from the forest?"
Sora merely nodded in agreement.
"Wait a minute. I am no priestess. Well, at least I don't think I am. If I was, I would have been wearing clothes like these when you found me. Am I right?" Kagome said while examining one of her sleeves.
"But you are a priestess," Hikari spoke roughly. "I can see your powers seeping from your very soul,"
"You can see that?" Kagome asked in amazement.
"You probably could too if you really concentrated," Hikari answered.
Kagome did not reply, but instead she began to concentrate on finding Hikari's powers. Soon enough, she saw a light begin to glow from inside her haori.
"I think I see it!" She exclaimed. "There's a light coming from your haori right there!" She then pointed to the pink light.
Hikari brought her hand to her heart. She held a shard of the Shikon jewel for months now without anybody knowing and this girl just comes and finds it just by looking at her. Knowing that hiding the jewel any longer was futile, she pulled the shard from her clothing.
"So, you have the power to see the jewel," Hikari stated, revealing her shard of the jewel.
"What jewel?" Kagome questioned.
"You can see the Shikon jewel, yet you've never even heard of it? What is your name?" Hikari answered with more questions.
Her last question, however, brought a saddened expression onto Kagome's face and caused Sora to interrupt.
"She lost her memory when she hit her head. She doesn't even remember her own name," She explained to her daughter.
"I'm terribly sorry. I didn't know," Hikari apologized to them both.
"It's okay. Like you said, you didn't know," Kagome assured her.
"Why don't you show her around, Hikari?" Sora asked. "Then you could tell her more about the Shikon jewel,"
With a nod, the two priestesses walked off to tour the village.
Hikari explained to Kagome everything she knew about the jewel. How it was guarded by the priestess, Kikyo, who had died fifty years before, which led to recent troubles in the village.
"Wolf demons?" Kagome asked in fascination.
"They are an old clan that lived in the mountains. We've been fighting them for centuries, but in the last few years, they have gotten a new leader. Now they are more powerful than ever before. Some say that their leader possesses jewel shards, which increase his speed and power. Either way, they have become a force too strong for us to fight, but maybe with your help we can find where he holds the shards and destroy him. That's if he holds them in the first place. So, will you help us?" Hikari finished.
"Why wouldn't I?" Kagome said with a confused expression.
"Great, we will set out tomorrow morning then," She confirmed.
"There's no need for that," Kagome explained to the oblivious priestess. "There are a couple shards coming towards us really fast. I think it's the leader of the wolf demons."
"Where, I don't–" Before Hikari could finish, a large whirlwind came out of the forest and a young wolf demon emerged from it and landed in front of Kagome.
"Hey there, Kagome," Koga said cheerfully.
"Stay away you filthy demon!" Kagome threatened.
Koga's expression wasn't a furious one, but a hurt one. Here was Kagome, the woman he claimed as his mate, calling him a filthy demon.
"He called you Kagome, so could that be your name? Maybe you knew him," Hikari suggested.
"I guess it could be. It sounds familiar," Kagome agreed.
"Why, Kagome?" Koga whispered to her.
"Stop it! Who are you?" Kagome cried.
"I am the leader of our clan. I claimed you as my mate, remember?" Koga pleaded to the girl in front of him.
"I know it's been hard since you lost you memory, but do you recognize anything he's said?" Hikari inquired.
"You what? Did that mutt-face, Inu-trasha do this to you?" He growled.
"Who?" Kagome asked.
That one word got Koga really thinking. 'If Kagome doesn't remember anything and that half breed isn't around, then I may be able to take her back with me if I play my cards right.'
"You were taken from the clan and me by a stupid half breed who wanted you for your powers to sense jewel shards. The important thing is that I've found you, and you're safe, Koga said as he held her in a tight and reassuring embrace. He couldn't fight back the smile on his face as she began to hug him in return. She fell for the bait.
That's it for the first chapter. I don't know what's going to happen next, so if I don't update for a while, bear with me. Bye-bye!
