Hello to all of you people! This is Yukimi, reporting once again with a brand new Inuyasha fic!

I think I'm getting crazy writing these fics. Ideas for stories just keep popping into my mind...

Inuyasha does not belong to me. The honor goes to Rumiko Takahashi.

Please enjoy Forgotten!


"Oh, shoot! I'm going to be late!"

Kagome quickly pulled on her shoes and stuffed a slice of buttered bread into her mouth. She hop-skipped to the door, grabbed her backpack and left.

"Good bye, Kagome!" her mother called, waving to her from the door. Kagome turned around and waved back while walking backwards. Unfortunately, because she wasn't looking where she was going, she tripped on a rock. Her mother winced as she watched the scene unfold. "That girl is going to hurt herself one day," she muttered absentmindedly and walked back inside.


"Wow, Kagome. For a second there I thought that you were sick again..."

Kagome silenced her friend with a death glare. "Save it. I stayed up late last night studying for all of the tests I have to make up." She sighed. "It'll be a miracle if I make it through high school..."

Her friends glanced at her sympathetically. "Cheer up," one said. "I'm sure that once you get over all of the chronic illnesses you've been getting lately, school will be a breeze!"

Kagome closed her eyes, trying to block out her friend's voice.

"By the way, Kagome..." another one of her friends whispered. She handed a bright package to Kagome behind her back. "Hojo isn't here today, but he asked me to give this to you. He thought it might help your arthritis."

Kagome opened the gift to find that it contained a rather large pill box and a down comforter. She sighed slightly at the thought of Hojo spending all of this money for the sake of curing her imaginary illnesses.

"Kagome, you're so lucky," one of her friends said wistfully. "I wish I had a guy who'd care about me that much."

Kagome shook her head. "He doesn't need to be doing this..." she whispered.

Her friends immediately jumped on her. "You're only saying this because you like someone else! Tell us who it is already," they shouted in unison.

Kagome blushed, picked up her backpack and stalked away. "I have no idea what you're talking about!" she snapped.

Her friends sighed. "Kagome needs to wake up from this dream world..."


After school, Kagome checked to see that no one was looking and jumped into the well house. It was a weekend so she could go to the feudal era without a problem or worry. She held the shikon shards she and Inuyasha had collected thus far to her chest, took a deep breath, and jumped into the well. She prepared herself for the shock of hitting the ground by taking a breath and tensing her body.

For some reason, the fall never seemed to come. Kagome slowly opened her eyes and found herself staring into Inuyasha's amber ones. He had caught her before she had hit the floor of the well.

"So, you finally showed up," Inuyasha grunted. "I was getting tired of waiting."

Kagome blushed and struggled to free herself from his strong grasp. "I was making up some exams. I took longer than usual," she stammered, obviously flustered.

Inuyasha snorted. "I really don't understand why this 'school' thing of yours is so important. If it causes you stress, you shouldn't go."

Kagome glared at him, slightly angry. "Well, I'm sorry that I want to have a future! I can't just be your jewel collector forever! I have a life!"

Inuyasha shook his head and helped her onto his back. "Here, I'll carry you up."

Kagome stared at Inuyasha's ears as they twitched slightly. Instead of answering, she held onto him tightly.


"Welcome back, Kagome!" Sango said happily. "How did 'school' go?"

Kagome blushed with shame. "I'm not sure about that science exam..."

Miroku frowned. "Science? That sounds like what's written on this tome..." He pulled out a large textbook which Kagome grabbed out of his hands.

"So THAT'S where it went!" she said happily. Her happiness turned sour as she remembered something. "Oh no, now I might have to make up the make-up!" she wailed.

Inuyasha changed positions on the grass he was laying on. "You're very forgetful, aren't you? You leave something from your time here every time you cross over."

Kagome clenched her fists. "I didn't ask you, Inuyasha."

"Hey, dog-breath!" a voice called out from the forest.

Inuyasha whipped his head around to find the source of the voice. Kouga was standing only yards away from him. "What do you want?" Inuyasha snarled.

Kouga shrugged. "Well, I was going to fight you, but I don't feel like playing right now..." he said offhandedly.

Inuyasha leapt to his feet and dashed towards Kouga, filled with rage. Kagome gasped and shouted, "Sit, Inuyasha!" Inuyasha yelped as he was pulled down toward the ground.

Kouga's eyes traveled over to Kagome's direction and he grinned. With his amazing speed, he ran over to her and grabbed hold of her hands.

"Kagome...how you must have pined for me," he said. "I can assure you, my woman, this dog," he said scathingly in Inuyasha's direction, "will never be able to best me."

Kagome shook her hands out of his grasp and smiled coolly as Inuyashajumped up, filled with wrath. "Paws off, wolf boy!" he growled, pushing Kouga to the side.

Kagome frowned. "I don't see why you have to fight with Kouga every time you see him! He hasn't even done anything yet!" she yelled.

The hanyou turned his anger on her. "He insulted me! You heard him! And he was trying to turn YOU against me!"

Kagome sighed loudly. "You really don't have any faith in me, do you?" she said exasperated.

Inuyasha spat on the ground. "He's always trying to sweet talk you, Kagome. Don't tell me that you can't see that."

Kagome pointed a finger at Inuyasha and jabbed it into him every word she spoke. "Of course I can see that! It offends me that you think I can't. For your information," she said, "Kouga is more caring and thoughtful than you'll ever be! So there!"

Inuyasha's face fell. "You-you're serious? He only wants you as property!"

Kagome rounded on Inuyasha and stuck her face into his. "So what am I to you? You're always referring to me as a jewel detector! Am I something more to you?"

Inuyasha's face flushed red. "Well...I..."

Kagome huffed. "You can't even prove me wrong!"

The half demon growled. "Listen, Kagome," he shouted.

"I'm tired of listening!" Kagome replied hotly. "If you're always so worried that Kouga's going to steal me away from you," she began. She stared at Kouga and grabbed his arm, hugging it to her chest. "If you're so worried, then I'll give you something to worry about!"

Inuyasha stared at Kagome frantically. He glanced at Miroku and Sango who were awestruck. Kagome might have threatened from time to time, but this time she seemed serious. Inuyasha laughed half heartedly.

"You're bluffing,"he said with false confidence. "There's no way you'd switch over to him. He's been nothing but bad to you."

Kagome stuck her nose up in the air. "So? Kikyo is nothing but horrible and you still melt whenever you see her!"

Inuyasha faltered. "That's beside the point," he grumbled. "Kikyo is a different case all together."

Kagome's frown deepened. "How so?" she said dangerously. Kouga meanwhile watched the two bicker calculatingly. The odds seemed to be turning in his favor. He smirked, enjoying the angry and horrified look on Inuyasha's face.

"It's different because Kikyo is a woman."

Kagome grinned wryly.

"That's the only difference?" she said.

Inuyasha frowned. "Anyways, there's no way you'd be serious about this. You'd run away from him within the week. The only reason you'd stay longer would be just to spite me."

Kagome huffed. She was determined to prove him wrong. "Maybe you haven't been noticing, Inuyasha," she lied, "I've been in love with Kouga for awhile now."

Kouga's eyes widened and his mind buzzed frantically. Finally, Kagome was coming to her senses!

Inuyasha twitched noticeably. "Prove it," he challenged her.

Kagome was willing to take that challenge. No matter how much this disgusted her, she was too angry right now to care.

"Oh, Kouga! I'm so sorry I didn't tell you sooner!" she cried and hugged Kouga around his waist.

Kouga grinned wolfishly and put his arms around her. "It's perfectly all right. I'm glad you've finally realized the truth," he said, noting the peeved look on Inuyasha's face.

"There has to be some way to make it up to you for making you wait so long," Kagome said, making up her mind to do the unthinkable. Inuyasha looked over against his better judgment as Kagome pulled Kouga's head down and pressed her lips firmly against his, a stubborn frown imprinted on her face.

A strange emotion flooded through Kagome's body the moment she kissed the wolf demon. Instead of the disgust she expected naturally, she felt something much stronger. It reminded her of a field of flowers, although she was not sure how she made the connection.

Inuyasha stared at her in shock. He couldn't believe that she would actually do that. He trembled with fury asKagome released herself from Kouga's embrace. He couldn't help but noticed that she looked at Kouga a little longer than necessary after pulling herself free from his embrace. Angry beyond reason,he turned away and stalked off into the woods.

Sango and Miroku stared at the retreating demon with mixed feelings. They could tell that he was actually hurt this time.

Kouga sniffed. "Well, he's a bit of a sore loser. Alas, Kagome," he said, turning to her. "I must be going now. The pack is growing restless and a hunt is in our future. Never fear, I shall be back." This time, he bent down and kissed her passionately, releasing her only after he heard a wolf's cry. "I shall return, my woman," he vowed and he sped off.

Kagome slumped to the ground, her hands over her mouth as she watched Kouga rejoin his pack. She was now starting to realize just what she had gotten herself into...


That's the first chapter. I really don't know why, but I like the Inuyasha and Kouga love triangle with Kagome. It's probably because Inuyasha gets tortured so much.
