Haylo! Like everything in this damn world, the story has changed. Now, instead of the three page chapter, it's hell-a-long. At least I have D.N.Angel to listen to in my long typing hours.

TO FORGET AND LOVE ANOTHER
Chapter 3
Inuyasha kept walking. He didn't care where he went or how long it would take to get there, as long as it was farther away from the couple in the clearing.
His feet had led him back to the outskirts of the village and before he could go elsewhere, a familiar scent of bones and earth filled his nose, followed by the deep and dark voice of his first love.
"I told you to come with me. I warned you of the pain that would engulf you if ever you not join me in hell. Do you reject your decision now, Inuyasha?"
"K-Kikyo," Inuyasha stuttered.
His face was filled with longing while hers was a mixture of malice and remorse. They stood and studied each other suspiciously before Inuyasha started to give in.
"I've made a decision. I will go to hell with you," He said softly.
"Inuyasha, stop," Miroku insisted from the village's direction. "You don't want to do this,"
"Shut up monk! You don't know what I want! You don't know what I saw," Inuyasha spat back.
"Inuyasha, don't go with her," Shippo squealed.
"Get lost," Inuyasha growled.
"But this is just a big misunderstanding! Kagome-" Shippo shouted as he ran towards the hanyou. He was cut off when Inuyasha picked him up and hurled the small kitsune into the air.
"I told you to get lost!" He exclaimed to the flying fox demon.
The throw wasn't very serious for Shippo merely expanded his body and floated back down to the group.
Since Shippo failed in convincing the hanyou, Sango stepped up to try.
"Inuyasha, listen to me. Kagome doesn't know what she's doing or even who she is. She lost her memory,"
"What do you mean?" He asked impatiently.
"Come with us back to the village and we'll explain in further detail," Miroku urged.
(A/N The gang got to the village so fast because they followed Inuyasha's trail on Kirara)
Excepting his request, Inuyasha followed them into the village, his curiosity getting the better of him. He left Kikyo at the village outskirts and with no trouble at all. He was much too worried about Kagome.
In the clearing
Koga and Kagome stood together in the open field. Neither of them had any idea that Inuyasha was even there at a time.
Koga finally tried to take advantage of the moment as his right hand began fumbling to loosen her red hakama while his left hand reached up and gradually slid her white haori off her right shoulder.
Realizing his gesture and intentions, Kagome pulled away from the wolf demon and took a few steps back.
"I told you, I'm not considering a family right now. I'd fell terrible if I became a mother and I barely even knew my name,"
Koga slowly advanced, closing the gap between the two of them before replying. "But the pup will still take about a year. Your memory is sure to come back by then,"
"Maybe," Kagome hesitated, giving into his persistence.
Bringing her into a strong embrace, he took in a long, deep breath, inhaling her sweet scent.
"That's not what I meant," She said sternly.
"Are you sure about that?" He breathed onto her neck, causing her to shudder.
As his lips touched her neck, her legs buckled beneath her and she fell softly and slowly to the grass and sat there in a dazed state.
Koga then knelt down beside her and continued to win her over.
Back in the Village
"He what?!"
"Calm down, Inuyasha. Anger won't solve anything," Miroku soothed.
"Damn the bastard for putting his filthy, lying lips on Kagome like that!" Inuyasha shouted in outrage before bursting out of the hut and rushing back into the forest to find Kagome.
Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kirara just watched as the clothed door settled in its frame.
What was that all about?" Sango said while staring at where the half demon was only moments before.
"I've no idea," Shippo squeaked.
"It most likely has something to do with his jealousy of Koga and Kagome," Miroku inquired.
The others merely nodded in agreement.
In the meadow
Back in the forest, Koga leaned forward to kiss Kagome once again when he suddenly took scent of his rival. It seemed slightly old and there was a small trace of salt mixed in which made him chuckle maliciously. However, his joy was cut short when a fresh scent began to approach them, and this time it was not the scent of tears but the scent of rancor, searching for revenge.
Clutching Kagome tight, Koga picked them both up to a standing position and turn so he was looking at the tree line which the hanyou was sure to exit.
"Koga, what are you-?" Kagome began.
"He's back," Koga interrupted.
Taking the wolf demon's caution into consideration, Kagome plunged herself into fear. She knew little of the intruder and had no idea if he was really the enemy.
"Who?" She finally questioned.
"It's the half breed that took you from us before. He's extremely dangerous and sly. He'll do anything to take you back, so just stick close to me and I'll protect you,"
Right when he finished his false claims of Inuyasha, the said half demon emerged from the shrubbery, tetsusaiga in hand.
"Die you bastard wolf!" Inuyasha spat out as he charged towards the wolf demon holding Kagome.
Despite Inuyasha's attempt, Koga easily dodged his attack with his speed. Kagome hung her arms around the wolf youkai's neck as he carried her off to the side and away from the enraged hanyou.
"Give Kagome back!" Inuyasha shouted across the clearing.
"She doesn't want you, Inu-kuso, so get lost," Koga teased.
'Damn! He's practically dangling her in front of my face! He's gonna pay for what he's done!' Inuyasha thought to himself. "She doesn't even remember anything! How do you expect her to decide who she likes more you mangy wolf?" As he spoke, he closed the space between the three of them by advancing forward.
"Come on Kagome, we're leaving!" Inuyasha ordered as he grabbed her wrist to pull her away from Koga.
"Get away from me, half breed!" Kagome screamed in horror. At that moment, Inuyasha lost all reason to live. Those words hit him so hard that he couldn't even breathe. It hurt so bad that his body was numb. It was so familiar that he could almost smell the cherry blossoms when he was young. Like the days of his childhood.
Flashback Dun, dun, du-un! Dun, dun, du-u-u-u-u-u-un! (A/N Good old DNAngel Soundtrack's Eye Catch)
Inuyasha was walking down to the river to get some water for his mother so she could make some dinner when he heard someone sobbing nearby. He took in the scents from the direction of the sound and he could smell tears and cherry blossoms.
"Hello?" Inuyasha said nervously to the girl crying under a bridge at the riverbed.
The girl jumped in reflex and started running away from him.
"Wait, don't go! I won't hurt you. I just want to play," Inuyasha pleaded to the young girl.
The girl stopped abruptly and cautiously walked back towards the silver hair boy.
"Hi there, my name is Inuyasha," The boy spoke, holding out his hand in a friendly gesture.
"Hello, I'm Ahiru Hasegawa," The girl greeted in return, shaking his outstretched hand.
"Wow, that's a pretty name," Inuyasha complimented. "A pretty name for a pretty girl with a pretty smell,"
Ahiru flushed at his flirtatious words and suddenly felt very funny and tingly inside. "Want to go play side and seek?"
"Sure," Inuyasha agreed.
"That's great! Nobody else wanted to play with me. That's why I was so sad,"
The two of them started to play hide and seek together. Ahiru counted while Inuyasha hid in the tree that she was counting at.
When she finally was able to reach ten, she began looking around the tree and nearby bushes and logs. She was about to look down by the river bank when she caught sight of something red in the tree.
"I found you!" She laughed, pointing to him up in the tree branches.
"You found me really fast. I thought that spot was fool proof," He said while hopping out of the tree and landing in front of her.
In playful gesture, the girl laughed and reached her hands out and tweaked his ears. She began to laugh even harder when she heard him purr and lean his head to the side.
"Guess what," Ahiru whispered. "It's your turn to count,"
After those words were said, she was off running, trying to find a good hiding place. "Don't go peeking, got that?"
She finally made her hiding place underneath the bridge and moments later, Inuyasha was done counting and beginning to search for her.
However, at that moment, Ahiru's mother was walking along the river bank, coming to call her in for dinner when she was Inuyasha. He was sifting through the different scents with his nose to the ground.
Her mother froze as she noticed her daughter hiding under the bridge the hanyou was sniffing beside.
Horrified, the mother watched Inuyasha getting closer and closer to Ahiru, but once he found her and shouted, "There you are!" she began to run forward, threatening the small boy.
"Get away from her, you filthy demon! You don't belong here!"
Scared and confused, Inuyasha backed away quickly to avoid the woman's fist.
"Mommy, stop it! He's my friend," Ahiru pleaded.
"That demon is not to trust. When you, let your guard down it will try to kill you," Her mother warned. "Don't ever even talk to them. They are worthless,"
Not wanting to hear anymore, Inuyasha fled.
End Flashback Dun, dun, du-un! Dun, dun, du-u-u-u-u-u-un! -
It was the same thing. The only he held in his heart was being set against him because he was half demon.
'You idiot, she doesn't remember you, she forgot all about everything you've done together." Inuyasha had a new found anger boiling inside of him. It was time he took it out on Koga. It was time to get revenge from that kiss.
Inuyasha became blinded by the rage and lashed out Koga several times, hitting the wolf demon almost every time.
"Kagome! Over there by the trees-" Koga called out in between hits. "A bow and arrow! Hurry, Ka--"
Before he could finish, he was thrown into a tree with a large gash in his stomach.
Kagome ran towards the said trees without any hesitation and found an old bow and a few scattered arrows.
She grasped onto the nearest arrow, inserted it into the bow and took aim at Inuyasha.
As she adjusted her aim, a rustle came from the bushes and both Ginta and Hakkaku sprung out to witness the events occurring in the small, once peaceful clearing.
"Look, it's Inuyasha!" Ginta shouted in panic.
"I-Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered slowly.
As soon as the name escaped her lips, memories fled back to her. Sad memories, angry memories, and happy memories of her life flooded back to her. Memories of her life back in her own era, her life in the feudal era, and her life with Inuyasha.
The memories came so fast and unexpectedly that she let go of the arrow, and it flew forward, piercing through the hanyou's red fire rat haori and into his flesh.
He gasped in pain before stuttering out her name.
Following this was a regretful cry from Kagome that traveled through the forest for miles; sending land bound animals running and birds into the skies.
