FINALLY a new chapter (was about time, wasn't it?) but to make things up again, it's full of feelings and thoughts ;) hope you like it!

A few days later, Inuyasha finally accepted Kagome going to the feudal era. It was still morning when they left right after breakfast.
The team went to the well and everyone looked into it for a while.
"You ready?" Inuyasha softly asked Kagome.
Kagome looked at him and nodded, "I've never been more ready."
"Good."
Sango, Miroku, Kirara and Shippo were the first to jump into the well.
"You know I wouldn't mind if you decided differently and.."
"Inuyasha", she calmly interrupted him and gave him a warm smile before she took his hand in hers, "You know I'm not gonna stay here."
A satisfied smile came on his face before he pulled their hands closer together, "I just wanted to make sure that you wouldn't suddenly change your mind."
Inuyasha then raised her up and took her in his arms before he jumped together with Kagome, into the bone-eaters well.

When the two landed on the other side of the well, Kagome felt her heart pounding for excitement.
"Come on", Inuyasha offered her to climb on his back, which she did. Inuyasha pushed his body off from the ground and jumped out of the well.
When the two landed on the ground, Kagome climbed off his back and looked around. She couldn't believe that she spend a good amount of her time in this place. It was so beautiful. Full of nature, a clear and warm sky, fresh air, and silence. How could this possibly be a bad place? It seemed so peaceful and perfect.
"Are you alright?" Inuyasha asked, watching Kagome looking around the place.
"It's so beautiful here", she answered, looking around.
Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kirara climbed out of the well as well, watching Kagome's reaction to their world.
"Appearances are deceiving", Inuyasha replied.
"Inuyasha", Sango interrupted the conversation. When the half-demon looked at her, she continued, "What do you say do we do now?"
Inuyasha shrugged, "I'm not too sure. We should just walk and see if we come across a demon."
"What kind of plan is that?" Kagome asked.
The team looked at her.
"What?" she asked, "If you don't plan on looking for this weird Jewel thing forever, walking around in hope to come across some demon is only a waste of time."
"Why're you going on me for? You're the one with the memory loss, not me", Inuyasha replied.
"Really? Well excuse me for being hit by a car!"
Miroku sighed, "Here we go again."
Sango nodded, "They are still the same."
Shippo agreed, "And I thought they would get along for once."
"It's not like I'm blaming you", Inuyasha angrily defended himself, "I'm just saying that with you not knowing anything about this place anymore it's harder to reach something!"
Everyone expected Kagome to yell anything back at Inuyasha, but instead she calmly meant, "If I'm slowing you down with my memory loss, it must mean that I'm very important to you and that you wouldn't reach anything without me at all."
Inuyasha blushed, "Th-That's not what I said."
"But it's what you meant."
Miroku, Sango and Shippo giggled, until Inuyasha gave them a dead glance.
"So, we're looking for these jewel shards, don't we? How do we usually find them?"
"You sense them, that's the problem", Inuyasha answered.
Kagome didn't quite understand, "Why is that a problem?"
"Because right now you wouldn't know when you actually sensed a shard."
Kagome looked worried, knowing that she held everybody back. Sango noticed and gave her a warm smile, "Don't worry, Kagome. If you feel something, just tell us. You will know when you sensed a shard."
The girl smiled and nodded.
"Keh, that's ridiculous", Inuyasha argued, gaining everybody's attention, "It's not gonna work."
"You should have a little bit more faith in people, you know", Kagome replied seriously.
Miroku agreed, "She is right, Inuyasha. Plus, we have just arrived so instead of giving up already, let's head in some direction and see if we can find something."
"Which we will, seeing as there are still quite some shards left", Shippo added.
"But don't come complaining to me when you're too tired and we walk around for nothing", Inuyasha meant before starting to walk.
"Is he always like that?" Kagome whispered to Sango.
She nodded, "You'll get used to it."
"That is if you don't want to know how to tame him", Miroku added.
"Tame... him?"
Inuyasha turned around angrily, "Shut up, Miroku or I'll-"
"Maybe meditating would help him calm down?" Kagome suggested, making Sango and Shippo giggle.
Inuyasha grumbled before the entire team started walking.

A few hours later, the team hasn't found anything yet. They didn't stop yet, but walking with the hot afternoon sun was exhausting.
"This is ridiculous", Inuyasha meant under his breath.
"We've been walking for a half day now, Inuyasha, don't pretend like we are more successful at other times", Miroku replied.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "There aren't even any demons 'round."
"Stop complaining about it, Inuyasha", Sango tried to calm him down.
Inuyasha was complaining quite a lot, but the team was surprised by how annoyed he was today.
"Kay, then I'll just shut up and do nothin' but walking in a random direction."
"Good", Miroku accepted, ignoring the irony in Inuyasha's voice.

They all settled down around a campfire when it got dark. During the day they didn't find anything, which Inuyasha mentioned quite a lot. Because they all walked the entire day, everybody was asleep as soon as they found a nice place to stay and after they've eaten a little bit.
When everyone was asleep, Inuyasha walked a little away to think a little. He didn't exactly felt bad for behaving the way he always did, because that was the way he was, but he didn't know whether he should be a little more patient with Kagome now. He didn't want to rush her but yet he wanted her to remember everything again. And remember him.
"Can't sleep?" Kagome asked before she sat down next to the half-demon.
"I don't need much sleep. Someone has to protect everyone. You should get some rest though", he answered without looking into her eyes.
Kagome nodded, "I would but I can't sleep", a small smile came on her face.
Inuyasha looked at her, happy that she seemed to not mind the situation.
"I'm sorry if I hold you back", she said, her smile suddenly fading away.
Inuyasha was shocked at first but then looked at her seriously and a little cold, "Don't be sorry."
She stayed silent for a few seconds because she was surprised by his sudden mood change, "Judging by the reactions of the others, you're usually not so... fussy."
"Fussy? I ain't fussy, stupid", he immediately whined back out of habit, but regretting what he just called her when he remembered that she didn't remember anything.
"If there was anything to make me remember, I would do so immediately."
Inuyasha was glad that she didn't mind him calling her stupid but he couldn't stand her talking as if she was blaming herself. Sure, she was the one with the memory loss, but it wasn't like she chose to. Inuyasha felt weird. He suddenly felt so... empty. Was it because he didn't want Kagome to talk such nonsense? No, it wasn't like she was important enough to him to influence his feelings.
"Don't say such ridiculous things", Inuyasha said with a broken voice.
She looked at him, "But I'm just holding you back..."
"I never said that."
"You made it quite obvious though."
"I... what?"
"Come on, don't play dumb. It was obvious that you were annoyed that we didn't know where we were going and that we didn't reach anything."
"Of course it annoys me. But... that's not your fault. I just do complain about things that annoy me, got it? Don't fancy something now."
"But it would go quicker if I remembered..."
"Maybe. Maybe not. Who knows? Stop thinking too much about what could be."
"Okay."
It did hurt him. And he hated when those human feelings took over him. It was even worse that some human's feelings influences his feelings. Of course it wasn't just any humans feelings... it was Kagome's. The reason he was so annoyed throughout the entire day wasn't that he was blaming Kagome for not sensing shards, he would never blame her for stuff like that, but because there was a possibility that her memories would never return.
"What are you thinking about?" Kagome ended his thoughts. Her body was turned to his so she was able to face him better.
"Nothing", he quietly answered, looking on the ground next to him.
"Its okay if you don't want to talk about it. It's just that... I'm here if you want to talk."
Inuyasha turned his face to hers, glancing at her with his big puppy eyes before he remembered his thoughts again, "Listen. I'm not blaming you for us not having a successful day. And I'm not saying that you're holding us back, cause you're not. It's just that... there is a possibility that your memory won't return and... I wouldn't want that. Not that I don't like you now, it's just that... nevermind. I'm just... afraid."
Kagome was speechless and shocked at the same time. She immediately realized that they must have been through quite some things, important things. There was probably more between them than what meets the eye. It sounded like he never really talked about his feelings. It seemed as if it was so hard for him to tell her how he felt.
She pulled her arms around him, leaning her head against his shoulder.
Inuyasha was surprised at first, but then returned the gesture by leaning his head against hers and putting his hand on one of her arms. He would have been okay if this moment lasted forever. Kagome was still the same. But they had been through so much. If only he would remember those memories, it just wouldn't be the same. He wanted... needed her to remember those memories as well. As much as he hated it when she used that sit-command, it strangely became a part of their relationship, of them. It was one thing to tell her about the things they had been through, but it was different to actually remember those moments. The thoughts they had. And the feelings. He wouldn't be able to tell her what she thought or how she felt in those moment they experienced together. Like when they kissed for the first time. It was for saving him, of course, but was that really everything? He was sure about what he thought to that time. And he still felt his heart pounding fast, just thinking about those minutes. If she never remembered... Inuyasha was mad that there was nothing he could do about it but wait.
"Don't worry. I will remember", Kagome whispered as the two sat there, thinking about their fate and future.

Hope you liked the chapter :)
