Memories Somewhat Revived: Chapter 3
AN: Ok now that I have defeated my depression (temporarily) I can use this time to continue on with the story!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Inuyasha or the characters. sniff sniff

"Do you happen to be Higurashi Kagome?"
I gasped inside. Was I really that obvious with my story? I smiled and asked,
"What made you say that?"
"Umm..well…this Higurashi Kagome left a note 3 years ago. Here I think I have it somewhere in my haori…."
I smiled at how he would keep it with him at all times. He pulled it out and I saw it was sort of soggy looking from being folded and unfolded all the time.
"Its got this scent on it…kinda like yours…."
Once again tears formed in my eyes. I read the letter and again felt the pain to leave all of them.
"Inuyasha….why don't I tell you a story…"
~IPOV~
"Inuyasha…..why don't I tell you a story….."
'SHE KNOWS MY NAME? HOLY SHIT!' But instead of running away, I sat next to her on the bed and she started her story in her angelic voice.
"Once upon a time, there was a priestess named Kikyo. She was the guardian of the Shikon no Tama. After a while, she came to know a hanyou. And inu-hanyou. His name was also Inuyasha." My eyebrows rose at her last sentence.
"They soon fell in love with each other and Inuyasha wanted the jewel to become a full-fledged demon so he wouldn't always be made fun of. But Kikyo had other plans. The Sacred Jewel is said to grant any wish. Kikyo wanted him to turn human for her so they could basically elope and live their "happily ever after" ending.
But it was the day when they had turned against each other by an evil person by the name of Naraku. He wanted the Jewel as well and so he disguised himself as Inuyasha and Kikyo."
Kikyo….my first love. And my last.
"And ever since, they had been turned against each other. Inuyasha took the chance to steal the Jewel from the village but Kikyo shot him with an arrow that sealed him to the Goshinboku in an eternal sleep. Kikyo died that day. You can still see the arrow mark it made on the tree," She said, gesturing to the tree.
"After 50 years…a girl in the modern era fell in the well on accident. She was chased by a demon in the well and found Inuyasha pinned to the tree. Amazingly, she took off the arrow and he saved her. It turns out that she was part priestess and looked exactly like Kikyo. He yelled at her until she had enough of it and yelled this sentence that made sense 'I'M NOT KIKYO! IT'S KAGOME! KA-GO-ME!"
My eyes widened at the familiarity of this story and my past life. Except there was never a girl who could travel through the well.
"They soon became friends and it turns out that Kagome was the new guardian of the Sacred Jewel. She accidentally broke the Sacred Jewel into many fragments when a crow swallowed it and she struck it with an arrow. With that, it started their adventure.
"On their way, they met a fox demon. He was young and went by the name of Shippou. His father was killed by one of the Thunder Brothers. And before that, Inuyasha had found the sword that he was meant to inherit. The Tetsusaiga. He destroyed that Thunder Brothers. Later, the met a demon slayer by the name of Sango and a lecherous monk by the name of Miroku."
I saw tears form in those chocolate eyes of hers.
"Later a witch (AN I know this is a little out of chronological order but please bear with it!) made Kikyo come back to life. Both Kagome and she loved Inuyasha and were constantly jealous of each other. Whenever Inuyasha ran to Kikyo, Kagome was always sad. There were times where she followed him and saw what happened between them. There were many times that they kissed, hugged, spoke about their love to one another….."
I saw her hands balled up in fists and angry tears form in her eyes.
"And so she went back to her own time with a quarrel between her and Inuyasha. She would leave and he would get her back, telling her that they needed to find the Sacred Jewel shards.
"It was until one night, he ran to Kikyo and Kagome followed. Kikyo asked,
'Do you love me Inuyasha? Or do you love that crappy reincarnation of mine?'
'I only love you. Forever, Kikyo. Forever.'
And with that they kissed. Kagome couldn't stand it. It was that one night when the Jewel was completed and Kagome was the one to wish for. She wanted Inuyasha to be happy with the one he loved the most. He knew that she would never have her love returned by him. So she wrote a letter, wiped everybody's memories of her, and sealed the well just in case they somehow had their memories revived. I guess it never really went according to her plan."
I heard her chuckle a bit.
"But you still didn't answer my damn question, wench. Are you Higurashi Kagome?"
~KPOV~
"But you still didn't answer my damn question, wench. Are you Higurashi Kagome?
What was I supposed to tell him? Seriously if I said yes, he'd start bombarding me with questions at how I knew them. If I said no, he would leave and I most CERTAINLY did not want him to leave. It was too good to be real for him to be here with me, just like old times.
I took a deep breath and answered,
"Yes, I am Higurashi Kagome."
His eyes widened and he started to wince.
"Inuyasha are you ok?"
"Dammit! There are all these fuzzy memories of a girl that looks just like you! My head feels like it's about to explode!"
After a few minutes of groping his head and telling it to stop hurting, his eyes widened and whispered, "Kagome."
He pulled me into a tight embrace and whispered,
"Kagome why did you leave me? You left me for 3 years! You left a letter even though you knew you wiped our memories away. You left without saying goodbye to me. I had to go through torture of not being able to find the right mate! WHY DID YOU LEAVE US? MOST OF ALL WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?"
I saw tears form in his eyes with anger and confusion as my tears overflowed.
"Did you not hear the end of the story? You told Kikyo that you would love her for forever and no one else. How come she isn't your mate?"
"Because she's DEAD, GOD DAMMIT! I KILLED HER BECAUSE I TOLD HER THAT I LOVED YOU AFTER WE KISSED! DAMMIT IF YOU ONLY HAD BEEN THERE TO HEAR THE WHOLE THING….."
I stepped back and whispered, "I'm so sorry. I had to though."
"Are you with that Hobo guy?"
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me, are you together with that Hobo guy?"
I burst into laughter that grew into sadness.
"No, ever since I left I didn't dare be with anyone in case one of them would hurt me like you did. Everyday, I went to the well. Just to smell your scent and bring back memories. But I always went back crying. Crying that you had hurt me. Crying that I had to leave you all this way. And my love for you never wavered. Every night I drenched my pillow with tears. It took everything I had not to continuously jump in the well and make it work to go back to you guys."
I pulled him into a tight embrace. "I love you, Inuyasha."
~IPOV~
"I love you, Inuyasha."
My eyes widened. The four words I've wanted to hear from her all my life. The four words that would end my torture during the mating season. The four words that brought me back my life and my memories. I nuzzled my nose in her hair, taking in her scent. My arms tightened around her petite waist.
"I love you too, Kagome. My Kagome. Don't ever leave me again."
