Disclaimer- I don't own anything from Inuyasha or the lion king.

Hey everyone. I hope you like my story so far. I have decided that I will do the second Lion King Movie Inuyasha style. Anyways here's the next chapter. Hope you like it.

Chapter Seven- Going Back to Face the Past

Inuyasha and Kagome walked across a fallen tree that made a bridge over the small cliff.

"Isn't this a great place?" Inuyasha asked.

"It is beautiful. But I don't understand something. You've been alive all this time. Why didn't you come back to Shikon Kingdom?" Kagome asked with a serious tone. Inuyasha climbed on the branch of a nearby tree and leaned against the trunk. Kagome stared at him waiting.

"Well, I just needed to.....get out on my own. Live my own life. And I did. And it's great." Inuyasha said trying to convince Kagome that he was happy.

"We've really needed you at home." Kagome replied, her voice cracking a little.

"No one needs me." Inuyasha answered quietly.

"Yes, we do! You're the King!" Kagome exclaimed trying to convince him to come back with her.

"Kagsies, we've been through this. I'm not the King. Naraku is." Inuyasha said closing his eyes but his senses on high alert.

"He let the outcast demons take over Shikon Kingdom." Kagome replied sadly.

"What?" Inuyasha asked his eyes opening to gaze at her.

"Everything's destroyed. There's no food. No water. People are sick or dying. Inuyasha, if you don't do something soon, everyone will starve." Kagome replied, her voice rising.

"I can't go back." Inuyasha stated.

"Why?" Kagome quietly yelled.

"You wouldn't understand." Inuyasha said.

"What wouldn't I understand?" Kagome asked angrily.

"No, no, no. It doesn't matter. Hakuna Mutata." Inuyasha replied.

"What?" Kagome asked confused.

"Hakuna Mutata. It's something I learned out here. Look, sometimes bad things happen....." Inuyasha started.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled, interrupting him.

"......And there's nothing you can do about it. So why worry?" Inuyasha continued irritated. Inuyasha jumped out of the tree and started to walk away. Kagome ran up after him.

"Because it's your responsibility!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha turned to her, anger in his eyes.

"Well, what about you? YOU left!" Inuyasha shouted back.

"I left to find help. And I found YOU. Don't you understand? You're our only hope." Kagome stated with tears in the corners of her eyes, but an angry expression on her face.

"Sorry." Inuyasha simply stated.

"What's happened to you? You're not the Inuyasha I remember." 'And loved.' Her mind added.

"You're right. I'm not. Now are you satisfied?" Inuyasha asked angrily.

"No, just disappointed." Kagome replied.

"You know, you're starting to sound like my father." Inuyasha said walking away.

"Good. At least one of us does." Kagome replied angrily. Inuyasha's eyes widened with shock and hurt at her statement. He turned to her hurt and anger on his face.

"Listen, stupid. You think you can just show up and tell me how to live my life? You don't even know what I've been through!" Inuyasha yelled at her.

"I would if you would just tell me!" Kagome replied.

"Forget it!" Inuyasha yelled walking away.

"Fine!" Kagome yelled, turning to walk the other way. But before she could even take a step she broke down in tears.

"Inuyasha? What happened to you? What happened to that guy I fell in love with?" Kagome asked while falling on her knees, crying.

In a Nearby Field

"She's wrong! I can't go back. What would it prove, anyway? It won't change anything. You can't change the past." Inuyasha looked up at the stars. "You said you'd always be there for me! But you're not. And it's because of me. It's my fault. It's my fault." Inuyasha said bowing his head trying to hold back tears. Inuyasha then heard a noise behind him. He turned to see an old demon up in the tree.

"Asante sana! Squash banana! We we nugu! Mi mi apana!" Myoga chanted.

Inuyasha annoyed by the chant walks over to a log over a pound and sits down. He was looking at his reflection when a rock disturbs it. Inuyasha looks up to see Myoga in a nearby tree.

"Come on, will you cut it out?" Inuyasha asked annoyed starting to walk away while Myoga followed him.

"Can't cut it out. It'll grow right back." Myoga said before laughing.

"Creepy old demon. Will you stop following me? Who are you?" Inuyasha asked Myoga. Myoga goes in front of Inuyasha and gets right in his face.

"The question is: whooooo....are you?" Myoga asked. Inuyasha stared at Myoga shocked before sighing and bowing his head.

"I thought I knew. Now I'm not so sure." Inuyasha stated.

"Well, I know who you are. Shh! Come here. It's a secret." Myoga said. Inuyasha leaned in to only have Myoga chant in his ear.

"Enough already! What's that suppose to mean anyway?" Inuyasha asked annoyed.

"It means you are a flea—and I'm not."(I know that is not what the chant means. But it is part of the story. So go with me on this) Myoga replied before laughing again. Inuyasha started to walk away.

"I think..... You're a little confused." Inuyasha said. Then magically Myoga was in front of him. Inuyasha's eyes widened in surprise.

"Wrong. I'm not the one confused: you don't even know who you are." Myoga stated.

"Oh, and I suppose you know?" Inuyasha asked in an irritated, sarcastic voice.

"Sure do; you're Inunotaisho's boy." Myoga said. Inuyasha stopped walking and turned to Myoga. "Bye." Myoga said as he ran.

"Hey, wait!" Inuyasha shouted chasing after him. When he caught up to Myoga he was sitting in a meditation pose. "You knew my father?" Inuyasha asked.

"Correction—I know your father." Myoga replied in a monotone.

"I hate to tell you this but... he died. A long time ago." Inuyasha stated sadly. Myoga then jumped into some nearby trees of the denser part of the forest.

"Nope. Wrong again! Ha ha hah! He's alive! And I'll show him to you. You follow old Myoga. He knows the way. Come on." Myoga said before fleeing into the forest. Inuyasha chased after him, but struggled to keep up because of his size.

"Don't dawdle. Hurry up!" Myoga said from ahead of Inuyasha.

"Hey, whoa. Wait, wait." Inuyasha replied trying to catch up.

"Come on, come on!" Myoga ordered.

"Would you slow down?" Inuyasha asked irritated. Suddenly Myoga appeared with his hand up in Inuyasha's face.

"STOP!" Myoga ordered. Myoga leads Inuyasha to some reeds. He parts them and points past them with his staff. Inuyasha proceed quietly till he reached the edge. Inuyasha looked down into the pool to see his own reflection. He sighs in disappointment.

"That's not my father. That's just my reflection." Inuyasha replied.

"No. Look harder." Myoga instructed while his hand went over the pool. Ripples formed and turned Inuyasha's reflection turned into his father. Then Inuyasha heard a low rumble.

"You see, he lives in you." Myoga said. The wind picked up bringing Inuyasha's hair for the ride. His father's form starts to form in the clouds. First like a ghost but then he gains colour and coherence.

"Inuyasha....." Inunotaisho said quietly.

"Father?" Inuyasha asked looking up at the sky.

"Inuyasha you have forgotten me." Inunotaisho said.

"No. How could I?" Inuyasha replied.

"You have forgotten who you are, and so have forgotten me. Look inside yourself, Inuyasha. You are more than what you have become. You must take your place in the Circle of Life." Inunotaisho stated.

"How can I go back? I'm not who I use to be." Inuyasha asked.

"Remember who you are. You are my son, and the one true King." Inunotaisho replied, while starting to fade away. "Remember who you are." Inuyasha runs after him.

"No. Please! Don't leave me." Inuyasha shouted.

"Remember..." Inunotaisho's voice echoed.

"Father!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Remember...." with that Inunotaisho disappeared into the stars once more.

"Don't leave me...." Inuyasha whispered while standing in the field. The wind blew lightly as Myoga approached the young King.

"What was THAT!? The wheather—Pbbah! Very peculiar. Don't you think?" Myoga asked.

"Yeah, looks like the winds are changing." Inuyasha said.

"Ahh. Change is good." Myoga said.

"Yeah, but it's not gonna be easy. I know what I have to do. But, going back means I'll have to face my past. I've been running from it for so long." Inuyasha said sadly. Myoga then hit Inuyasha on the head with his staff. "Ow! Jeez—what was that for?"

"It doesn't matter; it's in the past." Myoga stated before laughing again.

"Yeah, but it still hurts." Inuyasha replied while rubbing his head.

"Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it....or learn from it." Myoga said before swinging his staff again. Inuyasha ducked. "Hah, you see. So what are you going to do?"

"First, I'm gonna take your stick." Inuyasha said before snatching the staff and tossing it to the side. Myoga ran to get it.

"No, no, no. Not the stick." Myoga said. When he picked it up he noticed Inuyasha running away. "Hey! Where are you going?"

"I'm going back!" Inuyasha yelled over his shoulder while running full speed back towards Shikon Kingdom.

"Good. Go on. Get out of here." Myoga yelled before laughing his head off and hollering into the night sky.
