I do not own Inuyasha even if I wanted to. Sadly Rumiko Takahashi does.

Kagome's POV
I could see nothing. It was like a dark abyss. It was as if I was standing but at the same time I was not. Where was I? But most importantly who was I? All of a sudden images went through my head. 'A man wearing a lot of red with dog ears and he was holding a big sword. I could see his mouth moving but everything was muted and a little bit fuzzy. Then an image of an old well appeared. What were these? Were they memories? But I couldn't remember…' The images disappeared as fast as they had come. Then all of a sudden, I was falling. At least it felt like it. I could see something white in the midst of all the black. It grew bigger and then I was falling into the whiteness.
There was a slight buzzing in my ear. My whole body felt heavy and tired. Slowly, I managed to open my eyes. The first thing I saw was a circle of white. It was the moon…?
"So miko, you finally wake." said a dark and sinister voice.
It sent shivers down my spine. I sat up, my body no longer heavy, and looked at the man sitting next to me. He had crimson eyes and long, dark hair. This man felt familiar, as if I'd met him before. But where? His eyes held no warmth. They were full of coldness. Was he a friend? Or was he an enemy?
My mouth opened and closed a couple of times. This man was really intimidating. I finally said, "Who are you?"

Naraku's POV
I frowned. Was the miko playing games with me? But I could only sense confusion coming from her.
"Do you not know who I am?" I asked.
Her face turned puzzled and she replied, "No…do you know who I am? And who are you?"
I stayed silent, my face impassive. What had happened to this woman? She was fine before. I had been looking through Kanna's mirror and everything had gone perfectly according to plan. Kagura had kidnapped her…but then she knocked her out. Kagura! I let out a low growl. She must have hit the miko's head too hard. I quickly called for Kohaku.
"Kohaku, go fetch Kagura for me."
"Yes master." said Kohaku, his voice void of emotion.
Why couldn't Kagura be obedient like Kanna and Kohaku? They both do their duty. But that ungrateful wind sorceress had failed again. I should just absorb her back into my body. I felt more furious by each passing second. The miko losing her memory was that bitch's fault and she would get the punishment she deserved for ruining my plans…

Kagome's POV
The man had stayed silent, not answering my question. I was getting more confused. I watched as the man's face got more and more furious. He summoned a young boy and asked him to bring someone named Kagura to him. That name sounded familiar, but it was as if a wall was blocking me every time I tried remembering.
"My name is Naraku." said the man.
I wanted to ask another question but he silenced me with a glare that clearly stated he was trying to think. A servant came into the room and Naraku gave orders to the young girl to bring me to the room next to his. The girl walked out of the room and I took this as a sign to follow her. She brought me to a huge room. Almost everything was black or blood red. Then something crossed my mind. A memory…maybe? 'A man with his back to me wearing a red kimono' It felt important to me but I couldn't figure out why.
"You should get some rest my lady. Master Naraku will be requiring your presence later." whispered the girl.
She left as quickly as she had come into the room. The futon looked so soft and I was tired again. I wanted answers desperately, but the futon looked so tempting. And before I knew it, I'd given into the temptation.

Naraku's POV
My plans had taken a wrong turn. But as I thought about it, an idea came to my mind. Excellent…seems like Kagura's mistake was turning out for the good. Evil to the hanyou and his pathetic friends. But good to me. I could use this to my advantage.
I would still give Kagura her punishment of course. Causing pain to others is my specialty and I enjoy it very much. I let out one of my evil laughs. I would enjoy it very much

Kagura's POV
Being in Naraku's castle can be such a bore sometimes. I'd been avoiding Naraku's room. I could feel his angry aura growing as soon as the girl had woken up. After awhile Kohaku showed up and said Naraku wanted to talk to me. I hated that bastard with a passion and talking to him while he's angry is not a good thing.
As I entered the room where Naraku was in, he asked, "Kagura, do you know that the miko has lost her memories?"
My eyes narrowed. "Of course not. How would I know?"
"Hmm…seems to me you hit her head too hard. You've failed me Kagura, but I've come up with another plan. You will still be punished, Kagura."
Then I felt a growing pain in my chest. That damn bastard was squeezing my heart again. I could see him holding my heart in his hand and smirking at me. The pain was unbearable. Damn him! I refuse to scream. To let him see my pain. But I couldn't control my voice as I let out a scream. This punishment was even worse than the others. I could hear Naraku's evil chuckle as my screams rang out again and again.
