OH AND THANKYOU FOR THE MISTAKES THAT YOU GUYS POINTED OUT I'LL TRY MY BEST TO FIX 'EM IN THIS CHAP
Chapter 2
"….Who are you?"
The inu's question left us all gawking in disbelief. Never in a million years did they ever expect those words to come out of Inuyasha's mouth that is, of course, after they've met. They were no specialists in these kinds of situations and it left the three of them mentally panicking.
'Was this a case of amnesia? Why now?' Koga's knuckles turned white as he was fisting so hard his left hand started to bleed, 'After all the hard situations he has fought through and all the challenging enemies he cut down to strengthen himself and the tetsusaiga, he had to get amnesia now? Would all this go to waste?' Anger was building up with in the demon wolf. Right now he completely wanted to beat down a human so mercilessly that he, or she, wouldn't even be alive in the afterlife. But, what bothered Koga more right now was, why would he even care this much that he'd almost revert back to the uncaring, human killing machine monster Kagome had saved him from before.
A city of questions were quickly building within Koga. Should he go to Kagome or wait to see for any improvement? Should he go and consult some doctors? Should he – 'Argh!' Koga's hands shot out and roughly took hold of Inuyasha's stiff shoulders, "Hmph, that's funny Inuyasha, almost got us there." Koga joked, obviously desperate to know this was just a joke.
He shook Inuyasha a couple of times until the inu felt his head aching and pounding. He shrugged the wolf's grip away and his face visibly looked annoyed, "Please stop with your pointless shaking. It is causing a terrible headache." Inuyasha hissed, wearing a foul scowl. This answered the unanswered question; was this amnesia faked or not? Well obviously not. For some reasons;
Inuyasha would and should've tackled and/or punched Koga when he shook him.
He talked rather …. intelligently?
He would've shot up and started spitting out bombs of accusations.
Knowing Inuyasha, he would've instantly look and dive for tetsusaiga instantly, that were placed at the end of his pile of blankets.
And finally after that he would ask – or more like demand – where Kagome and his friends were….
…. But sadly none of these happened, but instead he just sat there clutching the blankets that were placed over his lower half and asking who they were.
Koga, Hakkaku (A/N: Thank you for correcting this :D) and Ginta were – let's say – staring at him with astonishment, silence just grew between them until Ginta spoke up, "Hey, it's not just his memories that he forgot, but it seems that also his attitude is gone! Hahahahahahaha…." Ginta saw that no one was laughing to his joke, his laugh slowed down rather awkwardly, "…..hahaha…" Koga swung a fist at Ginta, "Ow! What was that f-?"
"You dimwit, can't you at least tell when it's not appropriate to make your jokes?" Koga's glare was not a friendly one.
"Sorry." Ginta apologized and backed down.
Hakkaku kneeled down next to Inuyasha, "Ne, Inuyasha, don't you remember us?" Hakkaku asked, "Ya' know, Hakkaku, Ginta and Koga?" he indicated who was who as he said their names. Hopefully this would trigger something.
"I'm sorry, I don't." Inuyasha sounded sad and faced downwards, tangling his fingers together – now this was a rare sight, "Tell me – you all know me, I don't know any of you and you keep calling me 'Inuyasha' is that my name?"
"Yes it is mutt face. Hurry up and remember, we're not baby-sitters." Koga snapped, "Tsk, damn it. That was –"Koga quickly stood up and ran out of the cave, hearing the distant calls of his friends.
Inuyasha, Ginta and Hakkaku watched as the small hurricane made by Koga's legs disappeared.
Ginta and Hakkaku turned to Inuyasha both wearing apologetic looks, "Sorry Inuyasha even, Koga has a short temper, conceited and cocky, he's not a bad guy and he's exceptionally strong." Ginta sighed, shaking his head from side to side, placing his right hand over his forehead.
"Yeah, come to think of it, he and you are SO much alike." Hakkaku mumbled so quietly the other two were unable to make out what he said.
"What was that?" Inuyasha asked.
"No-nothing, nothing!" Hakkaku slightly jumped.
"Anyways, don't worry about it." Inuyasha said, pulling the blankets off him and walking towards the cave's door, "And, I don't think he's a bad guy at all." He confessed, sighing. The inu observed the river; looking like a jewel shining under the sun, trees; repeatingly swaying, mountains; so still but yet looking so alive, the birds chirping and the waterf-, 'Wait, waterfall?' Inuyasha felt somehow connected to it. He turned to Ginta and Hakkaku who were just watching him, "Tell me, have I been there? It seems so familiar, so – uh, special." Inuyasha said, pointing over to the waterfall.
"Ah -! Yes, in fact that's where we found you! Well, at the bottom anyways." Hakkaku felt excited, feeling that Inuyasha would finally recall something. Is he getting his memories back? Or maybe he already -
"I see, so that's why." He said and said just that. Never mind.
Ginta ran over to wear Inuyasha's robe was, "Inuyasha! Here your clothes. You were drenched to the bone so ….. we changed your clothes for you." He handed Inuyasha his clothes then walked towards Hakkaku and grabbed his arm, "We'll let you get changed and there's some breakfast for you. Feel free to eat." And with that he walked out side with Hakkaku towards the bank of the river and sat down.
"Hey Ginta, I prefer this Inuyasha. He's, without a doubt, much more even-tempered and waaayyy easier to talk to."
"Ditto~" Ginta hummed. (A/N: Lol, I don't even know if they knew that word back then xD)
"Excuse me. Excuse me!" a girl with a nice, soft voice, wearing weird clothing ran to a couple that were walking towards a village, "Have you seen a man – well, a half-demon – wearing a red kosode, hakama and obi, with silver hair, dog ears and a sword?" She asked the two strangers.
"Um, we're sorry, but no." The man said.
"I see. Thank you for your time." She bowed to them and so did them, then continued their journey, "That's another one. Inuyasha, where are you?" She sighed, deeply disappointed.
"KAGOME!" She heard a young, slightly high pitched young voice call to her. Shippo appeared and in his pink transformation then turned back with a loud POP! and landing in Kagome's arms.
"Shippo. Any news?"
"No. We haven't found anything, yet."
"Oh, I see…"
"Kagome, don't worry! I'm sure we'll find him. Even though Inuyasha always bullied me and hit me, I'll never give up!"
"Thank you, Shippo. Me too." She hugged Shippo close to her chest.
Soon after Sango and Miroku appearing, "Kagome-chan!"
"Monk-sama! Sango-san!" She ran to them holding onto Shippo, "Did you hear or find anything?"
"Same thing. No one has seen him." The monk reported, "But, I suggest we get Koga to help us. We'll have to find him too, although he might find us instead."
"Yes, you're right, Monk-sama." Kagome said, nodding in agreement.
Sango then stepped up and told her of her news, "Also, Kaede-san said that Kirara is almost fully recovered, so it'll be much easier looking for him."
The group had been searching for Inuyasha all day and now it was nearly the sunset. They hadn't found a way to get down to the bottom of this mountain to go to where Inuyasha fell from the waterfall. If they were to ride on Shippo, they would be too many to take and Kirara was still recovering, so they decided to look everywhere up here first and to ask around if anyone had spotted Inuyasha or a way to get down.
"Thank you all." Kagome said, the most sincere thank you they ever heard, but sadness mixed within.
"Of course, Kagome-sama."
"Anything for you, Kagome!"
"We won't stop, Kagome-chan."
Koga sat on the grass a couple of metres away from the river, throwing in pebble after pebble. The moon and the stars reflected brightly in the river water, its image distorting as the water's flow was disturbed by rocks and the force of the wind. Some birds slept, but you could hear owls' coos, crickets chirp and wolves howl loudly in the distance. The water slapped at each other, splashing cool, fresh water here and there, sometimes far enough to hit Koga, lightly.
The night seemed forever like after the fight he and Inuyasha had at the castle. (A/N: Refer to episode 39, I think it was; 'Trapped in a duel to Death'. Ya know, after Kagome purified that darkened or poisoned Shikon Jewel Koga used, and then they all left him there after a while. Yep, that bit ). Koga stopped his little pebble throwing and sluggishly laid back onto the soft grass. In this night time nothing disturbed him, all was asleep or he was unknown to everything else awake. He wished everything would say like this free of all trouble and it was peaceful; Naraku not mentioned and no demons felt nearby. He wanted this to be an endless night.
It would all be, well if possible, past perfect if Kagome were here with him watching the road of multi-coloured stars tra – suddenly the scent of Inuyasha entered his nose. Was he close by? He could smell him but not hear or spot him. Suddenly the site of the inu appeared, running over to him. "Finally Koga, I found you." Inuyasha stopped in front of him, slightly panting.
Koga sat up and inhaled deeply, "How'd you find me, Inuyasha?" He tried avoiding calling him mutt. Koga recalled the incident earlier in the afternoon and was going to apologize for his sudden outburst, but got interrupted when Inuyasha sat down next to him.
"Well, I'm a half-demon after all." Inuyasha snorted already expecting Koga to know, but he did, just that Koga didn't expect Inuyasha to know what he was. Koga was about to ask Inuyasha, but the inu felt the question coming and abruptly interrupted again, "When I was outside with Ginta and Hakkaku I noticed I could smell more accurately and I was sensitive to really strong odours. I had claws which I noted from the start. My fangs sometimes pierced the insides of my mouth and when I ran here, I was fast and swift. You were quite far from us you know, so when I ran here I have energy that which surpasses a human's. I followed your trail of scent." Inuyasha took a breather as he talked non-stop then continued, "So my conclusion, a half-demon."
"Wow, I thought you forgot everything." Koga emphasized 'everything'. He had this …. awkward feeling this wasn't Inuyasha he was speaking to. He just seemed way too – logical.
(A/N: Lol, I'm no doctor. Amnesia confuses me, so don't know for shit how it actually works. Ya' know? They like know how to TALK! It's crazy LOL or maybe I'm just stupid yea, so imma make shit up xD).
He shrugged and cleared his throat, Koga getting ready for another not-so-Inuyasha answer, "I think it's just memories, time of events, friends and maybe add in personality, but nothing of …. knowledge. I can talk, walk, run, move, think everything anyone can do and I know things I've learned before. Like the fact that I'm a half-demon. Also –"
Koga had to stop him before he talked on like a friggin' smart-ass, "Anyways." Koga began, ignoring the glare Inuyasha shot at him, "Don't mind me – meaning about this afternoon."
"Wooow, great job. That sounds like a earnest apology, Koga-kun ." Inuyasha mocked him, making teasing hand gestures.
The sound of Inuyasha calling him Koga-kun, felt so, so wrong. He was just not used to it. "Aaah. Don't call me that, it feels disugsting. Cheh, that's good enough for an 'apology'."
"Yeah, I forgive you." Inuyasha landed a light jab on Koga's shoulder.
'This feels so weird.' Koga thought. If Inuyasha got an opportunity to punch him properly, when Koga was actually sitting down beside him calm he would most likely punch him across the world. - Baha, exaggerated…. obviously :P
It grew silent between them. They just gazed at the stars until Inuyasha spoke up, "Tell me, how was our relationship before?"
Koga sniggered at the thought of how Inuyasha would react when he heard his attitude before-hand. "Ok, I'll admit you were strong, but I was stronger of course." He started to Inuyasha, "I hated you before the incident with Kagura. I thought you killed my clan. We nearly fought to death in that fight. I was so mad and agitated, I attacked you without consideration." He paused for a second to see how the hanyou looked. His eyes were surprisingly really wide and he was leaning closer, engrossed with the story and Koga began again, "But, you guys saved me, especially Kagome. She's the one I love and the one yo- We fought over her. Every time I met up with your group we would always quarrel. I guess our relationship was a rivalry one."
"Oh I see. I sound - reckless." Bingo!
"Cheh, trust me you were, you restless mutt face."
Inuyasha shot up and grabbed a pebble and threw it hard and sharp at Koga, "You sound worse than me, flea-bag." Well, at least he 'remembers' that.
Koga felt content with this, it was actually fun talking to Inuyasha. They were both dudes, they had lots of interesting things to talk about. What they enjoyed most was the stories Koga told Inuyasha about them before. He didn't mention much about Kagome, that he didn't know why. The reason just didn't hit him. Koga undoubtedly preferred Inuyasha this way. He wasn't stupid and rash, the hanyou that rashly jumped at him before.
He and Koga had a good laugh. "Ha, my tummy hurts." Inuyasha slightly arched forward clutching his stomach, "Come on, Ginta and Hakkaku are waiting. I said I would bring you back." He took hold of Koga's hand and pulled him back – Koga willingly letting Inuyasha hold his hand. It was a different feeling but it felt comfortable.
Indeed, Koga was right. He wished this to be an endless night.
