Clouded Memories

Remember Me?

Kagome walked through the gates of her old high school, gazing at the mid-afternoon sun. This was her 5th month as the kyudo teacher at the school and she loved every minute of it! It only paid a little, since it was only considered a club activity, but the expression of the children when they arch the arrow right in the dead center of the mato is worth it.

The school brought back many memories of Kagome and her friends. Silly ones, serious ones, and even the most painful memories. She passed by all of her old classrooms, like she did everyday, and glanced in just to take whiff of 'school'. Even though she had been out of college for a year and few months, she actually missed changing classes and getting to talk with her friends. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard yelling coming from the last classroom, the one where her students were supposed to wait for her. Kagome ran down the hall and into the classroom. She dropped her bow and arrows at the sight of a man, a man she had longed to forget.

"Why are you here?" Kagome asked. It hurt to look him in the eyes, much less stand so close to him.
"I found out you had gotten a job here and wanted to come congratulate you but then he," he pointed to the short kid who was fumbling with his bow and arrows," got all pushy pushy on me and started the fight."
"You know you are lucky I didn't call the cops and have them arrest you again." Kagome walked over to the little kid and helped him straighten up and get in position.
"Well gee Kagome, It's nice to see you too!" he yelled back at her.
"Just leave, InuYasha. I am dead serious about the cop bit too." She answered, walking back up to him.
"I really wanted to take you out after you get finished.." His voice a little bit more calm now.
"I am frankly not that hungry or thirsty.." she quietly said.
"Please? I've missed so much and I want you to tell me everything that's happened..All 10 years."
"I..I just don't know. I really don't. I've locked away every single moment I've ever spent with you and now that you are here, you've unstitched my heart." Kagome felt her tears coming back.
"I was so stupid and I am so sorry to have put you through all that pain and suffering! Just a cup of coffee at that little place on the corner. Just catch me up on everything..."
"InuYasha.." Kagome looked away, trying not to listen to his pleads.
"Please Kagome! Please!" InuYasha placed his hands on both of Kagome's shoulders and looked her dead in the eyes. Kagome just glanced up once before making her decision.
"This one time and never again will you set foot near me or so help me I will request a restraining order against you."
"I promise."
"Ok." Kagome looked at her watch. Almost 4 and the class was ending soon anyway," Okay class, you've done an excellent job! I hope all of you are ready for Saturday's torunament! Go pack up!" As soon as she said 'pack up' the kids ran for the hills.
"Let's go." She pulled her scarf closer to her face and walked beside InuYasha to that little place on the corner.

They had been sitting there for at least 2 hours, chatting about both of their memories for the past 10 years. For Kagome, it was a surprise. She hadn't expected both of them to go on and on without having that awkward silence she hated.
"You know, InuYasha.." Kagome took a sip of her coffee and pulled out her wallet.
"What?" InuYasha reached over and grabbed the fuzzy, black and white picture Kagome had held out.
"I remember this. It's 'aka-chan', right? Did you ever find out the gender?" InuYasha couldn't help but smile at the tiny baby.
"No, I never did but the baby knew you were the father and kicked everytime I mentioned your name." Kagome laughed a little at the thought of aka-chan kicking her.
"Haha! That is so funny! I bet you it was a girl. I really wanted a girl.." InuYasha softly said.
"I kind of wanted a girl too but a boy would have been easier to take care of.."
"Yeah. I could have taught him karate and katana moves.." he moved his hands in a karate fashion.
"Oh yeah! And then we would throw a party for you and dress all in black because it will be your funeral. NO swords." Kagome said in a sarcastic voice and pointed a finger at him.
"Aww. Oh, that reminds me! Miroku is throwing me a 'welcome back' party at his place. Want to be my guest of honour?"
"Well..I'll call and ask Sango if she is going. Did you know they dated for a little while during college?"
"Oh yeah! I think they are back together though because he said something about an engagement.."
"WHAT? Engagement! We are going over there right now! Sango has a lot of explaining to do!" Kagome left the money on the table and ran out of the shop, their hands intertwined with each other.

"Before you say anything, I just wanted to tell you thank you for this amazing moment."
"You're welcome but tell me your reviews."
"Well. We started dating after that and I almost ripped Sango's head off because she didn't tell me about the engagement. But she was about to return the favour a few years after their marriage.."
"Oh! Your wedding! I was just about to show that one!" Kami-sama yelled so ethusiastically.
"Oh no..That was a disaster.." Kagome chuckled.
"Well, let's get to it, shall we?"
"Okay.."
Kami-sama pulled a third cloud from the main one, which turned on, starting the clip.
