"Yeah. I do remember."
Inuyasha stared at her in surprise. "Y-You do?"
It was mid-night and they were sitting on the Goshinboku with Kagome on Inuyasha's lap. Right now Inuyasha didn't care what Miroku and Sango thought. His attention was centred to Kagome and Kagome alone.
"Yeah. It was when we were little and I think it was when we first met. You're name is Inuyasha and mine Kagome. I gave you a pink flower that day for giving it back to me when it was being acrried away by the wind. My sister was there too."
"The whore..." Inuyasha whispered silently to himself but Kagome heard it loud and clear.
"What did you just say?" Kagome said as she turned her head to look straight into Inuyasha's eyes.
"I umm err nothing!" He stuttered not want to have an argument right now.
"No umm... What's a whore?" She asked innocently.
Inuyasha blushed and tried frantically saying an appropriate answer. "Well umm a whore is umm a well it's sorta like a umm..." 'Damn! Not this stupid scene again!'
FlAsH bAcK::
"Inu-kun. Why don't you like my sister?" Asked a 8 year old Kagome.
Kagome and a 10 year old Inuyasha were sitting under the Goshinboku watching some birds eat the loaves of bread Kagome brought. They were sitting side by side as they fed them teeny beetsy pieces. "I hate her because she's a whore." Inuyasha blankly said.
"Inu-kun what's a whore?" Asked Kagome as she turned to face Inuyasha. "Is it some kind of bigger kid word that demons use?"
"You could say that." Inuyasha smirked.
"Inu-kun please tell me! I want to know!" pouted Kagome putting on puppy dog eyes.
Inuyasha sighed, put his hands at the back of his head and closed his eyes. "Well I don't really know what it means Kagome but my older bastard brother told me it's for women who like to make-out and cheat on their boyfriends."
"I thought they were sluts."
Inuyasha was surprised at Kagome using those highly imapproperiate. "Wait. How do you know that word?"
"My sister said them to some girls at our castle and she explained what they meant."
"How'd you get her to tell you?"
Kagome put on an evil smirk. "I told her that if she wouldn't tell me then I would tell mother and father. She told me then and there." Kagome started to laugh.
"I never knew you were so evil Kagome." He said with a sly grin.
"So what does whore really mean?"
"It means the woman is highly interested in well.. sex. I think..." He blushed but Kagome's face was blank.
"Err... Inu-kun? What's sex?"
Inuyasha turned scarlet from ear to ear. "Grr!! Stop asking questions!! I don't want to tell you!"
"When I'm older than?"
"I don't think you're ready to know what it means right now."
"Fine! But you have to show me what it means when I'm older!" She pouted.
Inuyasha fell silent as he turned as red as his hoari. 'She really is just a simple 8 year old...' Inuyasha thought. He scotted over to Kagome and hugged her. 'And I'm just a simple 10 year old...' "Do you really want me to show you Kagome?"
Kagome hesitated. "Why do people do it anyway?"
"They do it to show they love each other deeply and they want to be together forever." Inuyasha replied.
Kagome hugged him back. "Then I definity do it with you. What ever it is."
Inuyasha blushed deeper but didn't want to tell her what it meant yet. "Are you sure Kagome?"
"Yeah. Because I love you Inu-kun." She said as she snuggled into his chest.
Inuyasha put his head on top of her head. "I love you too Kagome..."
EnD oF fLaSh BaCk::
"Answer already! Please Prince Inuyasha! I really want to know!" She pleaded.
Inuyasha stopped trying and glared at Kagome. "Don't call me 'Prince Inuyasha'!" He yelled at her face.
Kagome sunk back moving away from him but he maintained his grip. "I'm sorry... Um then what do you want me to call you?"
"Just Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Okay?" He yelled equally as loud but not as angry.
"Um okay Inuyasha."
'Well at least she's not calling me Inu-kun anymore.' He thought and sighed as his ears drooped. Secretly liking that nick-name.
They sat in silence for a moment until Kagome broke it. "So what does whore mean Inuyasha?"
"Stop that! It's too hard to explain!" He said.
"Well am I a... whore?"
Inuyasha burst out laughing dispite the blush in his cheeks. "You? A whore? Not ever!" He said as he continued to laugh. 'Geez. When did I laugh like this because of her? As a matter of fact when did I EVER laugh like this?'
"W-What's so funny?!" Kagome yelled at the still laughing hanyou. 'For some reason I feel comfortable around him. I don't know why. I only just met him.' "Stop laughing! What did I say? What does whore mean?!"
Inuyasha wiped the tear forming in his eyes and hugged Kagome tighter. She gasped. "I-Inuyasha?"
He lay his head on top of hers and enhaled her scent. "I missed you so much Kagome."
Kagome looked confused. "Huh?" She made a move to get away and stare at him but he growled and held her aound the waist tighter.
"Don't move." He said as he began to bury his face in her hair.
The whole scene made her blush.
"I havn't held you like this since forever Kagome..." He said as he continued to sniff her. She smelt of flowers and lavendar. 'Kami... I love her scent...'
"What? Inuyasha? You're really confusing me right now." She tried to shift away again to look at his face but he just growled louder.
"Don't move wrench! I'll explain later okay? Just go to sleep..."
She closed her eyes. Something inside her said not to and something was really wrong but there was also a voice even deeper than that saying that she could trust him. Something deep inside her that this was right. This is how things were supposed to be. It was her heart.
"Inuyasha?" She asked quietly as she tried to sleep.
"Hnn?" He asked as he began to feel drowsy himself from her sweet, peaceful scent.
"Inuyasha why is it that I feel so safe with you?"
This question caused Inuyasha's eyes to spring wide open. "What do you mean?"
Kagome still ahd her eyes closed and her head resting on his chest. "I don't really know why. I hardly know you but I feel like I've known you my whole life. Hehehe... Funny isn't it?"
She paused to know if Inuyasha was still listening. "Go on." 'Could she still love me? I need to know!' Inuyasha thought.
"But now I'm getting flash backs from the past with you in them. Did we know each other from the past?" She yawned. "I'm sleepy. I feel so safe with you. It must be so strange for you. You must think I'm nuts or something."
Inuyasha didn't say anything. "Inuyasha?"
"Yeah?"
"Tomorrow will you tell me everything you know about me? Will you tell me everything you know?"
Inuyasha hesitated. "Yeah. I'll tell you everything."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
Kagome's breathing then began to slow and Inuyasha knew she was asleep when he replied. He sighed. 'Does she still love me?'
'Oh course she doesn't. It's not like you love her anymore.' His conscience said.
'And what if I do?'
'Listen to yourself Inuyasha! You were the one caused her to hate you in the first place!'
'I didn't do it intentionally! It was an accident!'
'It may be so but you never said sorry. That just goes to prove you don't love her the way you think you love her.'
'Maybe you're right. Maybe I'm just overreacting.'
'That's right. You don't love her. Besides it's forbidden.'
'Yeah. We were never meant to be friends in the first place...'
"Inuyasha..."
The sound quickly snapped him out of his thought. Kagome stirred in her sleep as she continued o chant his name. "Inuyasha... I love you..." She whispered.
Inuyasha bent down and kissed her forehead.
'Maybe she does love me...'
'No she doesn't! You're a filthy half breed and you disgrace the family name! No one could ever love you!'
'Yeah. Who would love me anyway?'
'Inuyasha...'
'Who's that?' He thought.
'Inuyasha... Kagome...'
He stared at Kagome. "Was that the voice of my h-heart?" He said as he remembered what Kagome said.
FlaSh BaCk::: (grr... so many...)
"Hey Kagome?" An 9 year old Inuyasha asked as he walked side by side with Kagome.
They were walking back to Kagome's castle right after they had played near the Goshinboku again. Of course he wouldn't go up to the castle itself. Just close enough so that no humans or demons could see him and then he would wave bye back to Kagome. Inuyasha rarely walks back with Kagome but after their encounter with a snake youkai that almost killed Kagome when she was heading back he has been walking back with her so that she wouldn't get hurt.
"Yeah Inu-kun?" She asked as she looked at the hanyou behind her. She slowed her pace.
"H-How do you know you know when you're in love with someone?!" He asked quickly. He came to a complete stop and Kagome stopped too and stood in front of him.
"Why do you want to know Inu-kun?" Asked the 7 year old Kagome.
"W-Well I just want to know okay!"
They were still far away from the castle and they were in a forest. Inuyasha sat down and folded his arms. Kagome sat beside him. "Well Inu-kun. I may not know very much or I may not be old enough but I have had experience being in love." She blushed.
"Are you in love right now?" He asked as he perked a brow up.
"W-Well yeah. Ever since I met him..." She said as she blushed more.
Inuyasha could feel his blood pumping. "Who is it Kagome?" He hissed as he clenched his teeth.
Kagome blushed deeper. "I-I can't tell you Inu-kun! It's a secret!"
Inuyasha glared at her but quickly turned away. "Keh! As if I care anyway. So How do you know when you're... you know..."
"Well for me it's like this. There is an inner voice in you that you can barely hear. That's your heart talking but you can hardly hear it. Over this voice is your conscience. It is not like the deeper, inner voice inside you. You're conscience only believes what is best. It is part of you that thinks of logic and facts."
Kagome paused not really knowing what to say. "But the inner, innner voice is your heart. Your heart is always right. Your conscience doesn't believe in things that are not certain but your heart does. It knows what you really want despite what your conscience says. If you love someone you should listen to heart and not your conscience."
Then she put her hand on her chin and started to think. "Go on..." Urged Inuyasha, wanting to know more.
"Well if you want to know if you love someone you should listen to your heart. Your conscience is like your mind. It's not always right with your deeper feelings that have more meanings than it seems." (For a 7 year old girl this is alot of wise advice. :P)
"But how do listen to this inner, inner voice?" Asked Inuyasha a bit frustrated by not understanding.
Kagome muffled out her hair also in frustration with not understanding a single word that came out of her mouth. "I don't really know Inu-kun! It's different for everyone! You just need to look deep inside yourself Inu-kun. Look deeper than what you see."
Inuyasha didn't really get it all. "I don't get it Kagome..."
They both slowly got up and started to walk back to the castle again. "Neither do I. It's just a feeling I guess. I little tiny voice that calls out to you." She glanced at Inuyasha with an equally confused face. She started to giggle. "Besides Inu-kun! You and I know we're too young to fall in love. Maybe when we're older."
"Then what do you feel when you're at this age and you can't really love yet?" Asked Inuyasha.
"My sister and mother calls them a 'Crush'"
"Oh okay."
"Why do you want to know Inu-kun?" She asked as she tilted her head to one side. "Is there a girl you have a crush on?"
"Yeah. But I think it's more tha just a crush."
"Oh I see..." She said with disappointment in her voice. "Well maybe I can see her one day Inu-kun. Is she a demon?"
"Umm I don't think you can see her Kagome. And the last thing I can't answer."
Kagome gave a puzzled look. "Huh?"
Inuyasha smiled and stared at Kagome. "Besides. You already know who she is."
Kagome looked surpised. "I do?"
"Yeah. You just don't know that I like her yet."
"Oh okay..."
"But I WILL tell you who I like or maybe even love some day okay? I'll listen to that weak tiny voice in my heart."
Kagome playfully punched him. "Yeah. Right." She sadi as she smiled. "I'll listen too."
EnD oF fLaSh BaCk::
"Maybe it was that little weak voice that Kagome was talking about." He wondered out loud.
'Inuyasha! You know there is no other voice in here besides me!'
'But Kagome said...'
'Forget what Kagome said! She was too young to know anything! She didn't even know what she was talking about!'
'Yeah. You're right. There can't be an inner voice in my heart. My heart is only used to keep me alive and to feel emotions. It certainly doesn't talk to me.'
'That's the Inuyasha a know!'
Inuyasha yawned and his eyes began to get heavy. 'Yeah... Kagome was wrong... There is no inner, inner voice...'
But before he could sleep a voice called out to him.
'Kagome...'

"Sango dear. Where is Inuyasha and Princess Kagome?"
It was the day after yesterday and Miroku and Sango were outside looking for more food. "I don't know Miroku-sama."
"What do you think they're doing?" He asked and he thought of something dirty. Unfortunatly for him Sango knew that look all to well.
"Hentai!" She said as she slapped him. He flew across the forest and hit a tree with his head.
"Ha! Still beating the crap out of Miroku eh?"
"Inuyasha!" Sango yelled and came over to Inuyasha who let Kagome down who was in his arms. "Princess Kagome. Who have you been? Miroku and I are deeply sorry for scaring you yesterday." Sango said as she bowed her head.
"Umm it's okay. I know you didn't mean it." She smiled. But hen she felt something rub her butt. She squeaked and slapped Miroku on the other cheek. "Hentai!" She yelled as she ran over to Inuyasha and toom protection in his arms.
"You bastard! Why did you frickin touch her?!?!" He was just about to hit him unconscience but Sango beat him to it.
"You baka! That was the Princess you idiot! How stupid can you be you baka hentai?!" She yelled furiously.
Miroku was nocked out unconscience though so he didn't respond. Sango sighed and bowed to Kagome. "Sorry for that. The monk has serious issues."
"Umm... He's a monk? He seems like a hentai jackass to me." Kagome said.
Both Inuyasha and Sango laughed. "Yeah you're right! Wow you know him that well already!" Sango said happily. "Come inside. We'll fill you in. Inuyasha hasn't right?"
Kagome shook her head to side to side.
"I thought so. Come on. We still have food from when we visited the last villiage."
"You guys travel?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah we do. The hentai here was sent out to take out a demon which was supposed to be extra strong. I'm a demon slayer so I tagged along with him because I had nothing better to do. We're just heading back now. Come." She motioned them to follow and they did stepping on Miroku on the way.
"Umm what about that other guy?" Kagome asked.
"Oh Miroku? He'll be fine. He'll wake up sooner or later. There are hardly any demons here anyway." Sango replied.
They got into the cave but Sango was stopped by Inuyasha. "Don't tell her about our past relationship okay? I don't wan't her to remember right now." He whispered into her ear.
"Why?" She silently asked as she saw Kagome continue to explore the cave.
"I... I just don't feel like telling her okay? So don't tell her." He warned.
Sango then continued walking to Kagome. "Okay Inuyasha. I won't tell."
Whent hey got to the cave they all sat down. "Okay Princess Kagome as you know you've lost your memory. Well this is the imformation we have. It may not be much but it's all that we know about you." Sango said.
"Okay first you had a bigger sister named Kik-" But she was cut off.
"Wait!" Kagome yelled. She stared at the two pairs of confused eyes. She took in a deep breath. "If you tell me now then I probably would get a headache and won't believe it. I want to have my memories back. Not by someone telling me but by actually remembering."
They sat there staring at Kagome. "When did you want to do this Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.
"Last night. Remember I remembered part of my past? Well I want to remember it all now. I want to know every single detail. I want to feel... whole again. I can't be complete when I know I have forgotten something really important to me."
"Important to you?" Repeated Inuyasha.
"Yeah. I feel like there is this huge gap in my heart. I want it to be filled again. I want to remember what happened."
"Are you sure Princess Kagome?" Asked Sango. "We don't know how to get you're memories back."
"I may know." Miroku said as he walked into the entrance of the cave.
"That was a quick recovery lech! I thought you would at least be knocked out for two days!" Glared Inuyasha as he scooted nearer to Kagome. He didn't want ANYONE to touch Kagome.
"What did you say Miroku-sama?" Asked the demon slayer.
"I know this really old Miko in my villiage. She is very wise and she may know what to do."
"What's her name?" Asked Kagome.
"Kaede."
Sango gaped. "THE Kaede?! I hear she is a great Miko!"
"Keh! I despise Mikos. What good are they anyway?!" Yelled the hanyou. "We don't need her help anyway."
"But Inuyasha!" Kagome pleaded. "It may be the only way to get my memories back!"
"And isn't Princess Kagome a miko as well?" Asked Miroku.
Kagome stared at Miroku. "I'm a Miko?" Asked Kagome as she turned to Inuyasha. "So you think I'm no good? And you despise me?" she asked.
"No! I-I don't hate you!" He said as he blushed. "It's just that other Mikos try to kill me is all!"
"They do? Oh then I might of tried to kill you then... I'm so sorry Inuyasha..." She said as she lowered her head in shame.
"No Kagome! You didn't try to kill me!" He lied. 'Well at least she didn't just want to kill me becasue I'm a demon. Well half anyway.' He thought.
"But how do I know that? I want to remember Inuyasha! Please!" She put on puppy dog eyes and pouted.
Inuyasha stared then looked away. "Keh! Fine! We'll go to this stupid Kaede person!" He huffed and folded his arms.
Kagome squealed with joy. "Will Miroku-sama and Sango-sama come too?" She asked.
"Of course we will Princess Kagome. We were just heading off anyway." Stated Miroku.
"Yes. We will be honoured to travel with the leaders of the two Kingdoms." Sango said.
