Chapter 10

That next morning, Kagome work up and found herself alone in her room. Just as she was about to freak out, Kagome watched as Ayame stepped out of her bath room. She had just walked out of the bath room to look for her dragon scale when Ayame turn to find, Kagome sitting up in bed. Just as Ayame was about to start apologizing, Kagome held up her hand and said, "Don't worry about it…come on I'll make us some breakfast."

"Would it be too much to ask if I can help?" Ayame replied.

"No, come on…that way I know what not to make." Kagome answered with a smile as she stretched out her muscles.

"I'll eat as long as it's good…anyway I really can't take long." Ayame answered as she followed Kagome down the stairs.

"Don't worry about it…I already talked to Sango and she talked to Inuyasha." Kagome replied as she walked into her kitchen.

"When did you talk to her?" Ayame asked. 'Why is she able to talk to the royals as if they were regular people like her?'

"After I saw that you had passed out." Kagome answered as she easily reached for the things she needed.

"Oh, well what do you need me to do?" Ayame asked.

"Oh, um…do you know how to make amulets?" Kagome replied.

"Yeah I do…let's get started then." Ayame answered as she completely forgot all about her mission.

Once the two of them got what they needed, Kagome and Ayame began to have their fun as they began to make a mess while making their food. Just as they began to make a bigger mess, Kagome put the flour down and reached for the phone as it began to ring. Ayame however, grinned like an cat up to something before she dumped flour over Kagome's head. Ignoring her actions for now, Kagome picked up the phone and with the sweetest voice she said, "Hello?"

"Uh…Kagome?"

"Oh, yeah Sango, what's up?" Kagome asked as she shook her head so that the flour would fall off.

"Uh…is that Ayame laughing?" Sango asked.



"Yeah don't mind her." Kagome said as she easily poured some water on Ayame. "Um…are you going to come pick her up?"

"No, Miroku and Inuyasha are…I have to go to the underworld with my parents and get some stuff ready for the upcoming ball…your still coming…right?" Sango explained.

"Oh, cool…I guess but go for it…that's if I can still go…I mean after what I pulled off you know?" Kagome replied.

"Kagome! I think I did something wrong." Ayame cried as she tried to put the now blazing pan out.

"Shit…got to go….talk to you later." Kagome said before she quickly hung up.

After hanging up, Sango shook her head and began to dial Miroku's number. They had no idea what was going to happen now but they needed the two of them to get back together. Once she had finished dialing Miroku's number, Sango sat down and waited for him to answer. 'I remember everything…we have a second chance to do this…' Sango thought as she heard Miroku's voice say, "Hey, you thinking about us again?"

"How did you know?" Sango asked as she sat up in her bed.

"So did you tell her?" Miroku asked as he changed the subject. 'Every time we talk about us we end up in an argument.'

"Yeah, I guess she doesn't really mind. She just thinks that Sesshomaru and Inuyasha as mad at her." Sango answered as she got his hint.

"Well then I guess I'm going to go and get Inuyasha now…I'll see you at school." Miroku said.

"Yeah…oh and Miroku?" Sango replied.

"Yeah?"

"I love you." Sango whispered right before she hung up.

'I love you too…but right now….we need to make things right.' Miroku thought as he grabbed his keys and left his house. It didn't take long for him to reach Inuyasha's house and he was once again not surprised when he found him waiting outside of house and the main gate. After parking in front of him, Miroku unlocked the car doors and waited for his best friend to get in. Once he was inside the car, Miroku turned to Inuyasha and asked, "What are you going to do now?"

"I have no fucking clue…I guess I'm going to ask her out once we get a chance to be alone." Inuyasha answered.



"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Miroku asked. "I mean she hasn't even remembered everything and we don't know if she is going to remember at all."

"I know but I can't just leave it at that…she gave me half her soul…I want to stay with her…as my mate and as my wife." Inuyasha growled.

"So than what are we going to do? I still need to find Naraku and find out what he plans to do." Miroku said.

"I'll let you know when I figure it out." Inuyasha said. "So for now start driving."

"Sure thing." Miroku said as he began to drive.

Once they got to Kagome's house, Miroku and Inuyasha both ran up to the door and began to knock only to hear the sound of things breaking and yelling. When neither one of them could open the door, Inuyasha took a step forward and said a spell. Worried that he was, Inuyasha had used so much energy in the spell that the door was blown up.

Ayame and Kagome had finished eating and were cleaning up when Ayame had accidently poured some juice on Kagome. Kagome responded by pouring some milk on Ayame and that was how the fight began. Kagome had just managed to catch a plate that Ayame had accidently dropped when she had dropped it at the fell of cold water. Just as Ayame was about to help her up and with her now cut hand, Kagome's aura quickly surrounded the house as they heard the front door blow up.

"Kagome?" Ayame asked.

"Just don't move…."Kagome answered as she closed her eyes.

"Kagome…you can't….you can't use magic outside the underworld." Ayame added as she began to take her roll.

"Someone just attacked my home." Kagome's cold voice replied as everything was quickly put in place.

Ayame watched in amazement and shock as the house slowly began to look like it first did when she had gotten there the night before. 'This girl…she has to be the one.' Ayame thought as she tried to find her scale to see if it was reacting to this girl. But just as she was about to do so, Ayame pushed Kagome to the floor with just enough time to stop her from attacking Miroku and Inuyasha. After knocking her out, Ayame turned to the two and asked, "Are you guys alright?"

"Yeah, what the hell is going on? We thought you guys were in trouble." Inuyasha growled.

"Yeah, we couldn't get in so Inuyasha blew up the door." Miroku added.

"I didn't mean to." Inuyasha growled as he walked over to pick Kagome off of the floor.



"Oh, no we were just having a food fight…um…well Kagome did a pretty quick job of picking up but nothing was wrong." Ayame explained.

"Uh, well come on…I'm going to take you back to Lord Sesshomaru's clan house…Inuyasha is going to stay here and make sure Kagome didn't over to it." Miroku replied.

'Where did…if they find out that I lost the scale I'm going to be in so much trouble.' Ayame thought. "Alright…can you please tell her that I'm sorry for knocking her out."

"Sure…"Inuyasha growled as he began to walk further into the house.

"Her room is the up the stairs, third door to your left." Ayame whispered as she began to follow Miroku out of the house.

Once they were gone, Inuyasha took Kagome up to her room and placed her in her bed before he covered her up. Just as he was about to take a seat somewhere, he was surprised when the room was filled with books for witches, demons, and miko's. 'What the hell…has she learned all these spells?' Inuyasha thought as he reached for one of the inu demon ritual spell books.

"No….mommy…no…" Kagome cried in her sleep.

Completely forgetting about the books that surrounded them, Inuyasha quickly went to Kagome's side and held her. Once she had settled down, Inuyasha turned around to find all of her books gone. Just as he was about to get out of her bed, Kagome took hold of him and refused to let him go. 'Stupid wench…' Inuyasha couldn't help to think before he slowly began to fall asleep.

It was dark and the only light she had was that of the energy she had been using. As she looks around, Kagome couldn't help but feel alone. It wasn't until she began to get filled by an unknown source of warmth that she decided to get up and try to find her way out of the darkness. "Mother? Inuyasha? Anyone?"Kagome called out as she slowly stood up.

But as soon as she had stood up, Kagome began to ran with all her might as her light began to fade away. One it was completely gone, Kagome began to run faster with her demon speed. Just as she was about to give up and fell to the floor in tears, she ran into something warm, just as she slide against it she felt something cover her. After closing her eyes, Kagome took in a deep breath and asked, "Who are you? Where am I?"

However all she got was a low growl. As the unknown demon, or creator let out his low growls, Kagome couldn't help but to feel safe. Just as she was about to open her eyes to see what was making her feel so safe, Kagome woke up only to find herself in Inuyasha's arms. Not knowing how or when he had gotten into her house let alone her room, Kagome shoved Inuyasha away from him and yelled out, "What the hell are you doing!"



After hitting the floor and landing face first, Inuyasha couldn't help but burst up into laughter. 'Is she always going to have the power to send me crashing face first into the ground?' he couldn't help but think as he slowly lifted himself up to face a very pissed off Kagome. Before he could even say a word, he was shocked at Kagome's expression before he was once again slammed into the ground.

Kagome had watched as Inuyasha landed on her bed room floor face first. She had felt something inside her reach the surface but she had no way of remembering or knowing what exactly it was. All she could do was allow all her instinct to take over. Before she knew it she had mumbled a spell she had never read in any books before she said, "Sit boy."

What seemed like an eternity was more like five minutes before Inuyasha had tried to sit up. Once he was sitting up, he turned to find Kagome sitting on her bed with a confused look on her face. Realizing that she had just used a spell that she had never learned in this life, Inuyasha looked at her before he asked, "Well? Are you going to take this off?"

Kagome looked up at the sound of his voice and said, "Sorry but I have no idea how to remove it for now….I uh…I haven't learned that part yet."

"Damn it wench." Inuyasha growled low enough for her not to hear.

Knowing that he was mumbling something to himself, Kagome quickly turned into her inu hanyou form and said, "Want to run that by me again?"

"Uh…hurry up and learn?" Inuyasha said in an unsure voice.

"Uh…where's Ayame and why did you blow up my door?" Kagome asked as she stood up to stretch.

"The door was an accident, and as for Ayame she has already been taken back to my house." Inuyasha answered as he got off of her floor. 'I guess she hasn't remembered anything.'

"Oh…so are you still mad at me?" Kagome asked as she began to walk out of your room.

"Mad about what?" Inuyasha replied.

Kagome stopped in her tracks and turned to face Inuyasha as if he was crazy. Once she was sure that he wasn't just messing with her, Kagome took in a deep breath and said, "For placing that spell on you and your family."

"Not really…thanks to you I got to remember some things." Inuyasha answered as he waited for her to continue walking down the stairs.

"Oh." Kagome whispered before she turned back around to finish going down the stairs. Once at the bottom, Kagome made her way into the kitchen and silently offered Inuyasha a seat. Once he 

was sitting down, Kagome walked around the kitchen as she got him a small piece of cake and some tea. Once she had sat down, Kagome stayed silent for a while as she tried to think of a good way to ask him what exactly it was that he remembered.

After eating what she had given and growing tired of the silence, Inuyasha took in a deep breath and said, "If you got something to say, then just say it."

"Alright then, I was hoping that you'd tell me what you remembered…and if it had anything to do with the voices we all heard." Kagome said as she looked up to meet his gaze.

Just as Inuyasha began to sweat, he thanked the gods above for being in his favor because it was at that moment that the sound of the front door and the sound her Kagome's parents walking in that helped him get out of the trouble he was in. 'Son of a bitch.' Kagome thought angrily as she took in a deep breath and called out, "I'm in the kitchen with a friend."

"Kagome…dear…I thought you were going to be out today." Her mother was heard.

"Uh, things were canceled since Sango had a family emergency…it's been moved to this coming week end." Kagome answered as she took notice of her father angry face.

"So that's why you have a boy with you while your home alone?" her father asked in a cold tone.

"No, when I woke up I heard someone trying to break in. I called Inuyasha so that he could come and help me but when they heard that there was someone here the thief's left." Kagome explained. "Sango is supposed to come over to spend the night with me if she gets a chance to."

Realizing his mistake, Kagome's father turned to Inuyasha and said, "Thank you for looking after my daughter."

"It's not a problem…Kagome is a good friend of mine…I don't want anything bad to happen to her." Inuyasha answered as he stood up to leave.

"Would you like to stay for dinner?" her mother offered as she smiled warmly at him.

"As much as I would like to, I need to get home. My brother is waiting for me. I told him that I wouldn't be long." Inuyasha answered as he bowed. "But thank you very much for the offer."

"Well then, perhaps another time then…I'll show you out." Kagome said as she stood up.

"Once again thank you for taking care of our Kagome." Her mother called out.

After bragging Inuyasha outside of her house, Kagome closed the door behind her and turned to look at Inuyasha. Before she could even start asking question, Inuyasha held up his hand and said, "Forget it…your father is probably timing us and I don't want him to think badly of me."



"Why do you care…its not like if I care…I mean I am old enough to chose my own friends…besides I'm going to be eighteen soon." Kagome hissed back.

"Sorry but I don't want him to turn me down later on….see you tomorrow Kagome." Inuyasha said with an amused voice before he ran off.

'Stupid jerk.' Kagome thought as she walked back into her house. As soon as she walked in, Kagome found her father sitting in the living room looking at his watch. Kagome took in a deep breath to calm herself as she made her way back to her room. Just as she was half way through the stairs, Kagome heard her mother call out to her, "Kagome, don't forget to call your friend and let her know that we're home now so that she can stay with her family."

"I won't…I'm just going to call her and finish up some homework." Kagome called back. But just as she was about to make her way back up the stairs, Kagome was stopped yet again when she heard her father call her down. 'God damn it…can't a girl get some time to herself?' Kagome thought as she quickly made her way into the living room. As soon as she saw what her father was holding she froze. 'Damn it Ayame.'

"Kagome…where did you get this?" her father asked.

"That belongs to…to…um…a friend from school." Kagome answered as she quickly took the dragon scale from her father.

"Why do you have it? It looks very expensive." Her father stated.

"She dropped it Friday and I haven't gotten a chance to give it back to her." Kagome answered.

"You better give it back to her tomorrow." Her father warned.

"I will." Kagome said as she began to make her way up the stairs. As she made her way up the stairs Kagome called out, "I'm going to be doing homework!" Once she was in her room, Kagome locked the door and began to look for the book she had read about the subduing spell that she had placed on Inuyasha.

Meanwhile, Ayame slowly looked around the house and made sure that no one was watching her. Once she was sure that she wouldn't get caught, Ayame quickly ran to the hall where they had the door to the underworld. The door in the clan house led to the clan house of the underworld. 'Ok…go, get another scale, come back…and act as if nothing happened.' Ayame thought as she used her demon speed to work faster. Once she had reached the dragons forest, Ayame looked around before she whistled for her own dragon. "Good girl…I need you to take me to the death dragon."

After taking notice of her dragons understanding, Ayame quickly got on her green, earth dragon and held on as she took flight. It didn't take her long for her to arrive at the death dragons cave. Once she was at the entrance, Ayame jumped off the her dragon only to hear a warning growl. 

Knowing that she couldn't push it to much, Ayame quickly stopped in her tracks and said, "I am Ayame, second guardian of the missing princes…I must ask for a second scale for I lost the first."

After a while of waiting, Ayame watched as a talk, deep blue colored dragon walked out of the cave alongside the dragon of death. The dragon of death was called Maxwell and only the King of the underworld was allowed to speak his name. His scales were the darkest of black and his eyes were the brightest of red. Once she was sure that she would not be attacked, Ayame took a step toward the dragon of ice and said, "I am truly sorry but I will not lose this one."

Once she was close to the ice dragon, Ayame was not surprised when she was hit with his powerful tail and slammed against a nearby tree. Before her dragon could do anything, Ayame looked at her dragon and said, "It's ok Zen, I had it coming."

After being given the ok, Ayame took up as best as she could, she quickly took the dragon scale form the ice dragon and took her leave. Once she was back at the clan house, Ayame was glad to see that no one was in the hall. As soon as she was back in her room, Ayame had had enough time to pack the scale away before her door was opened.

"I was told to take you to my house…" Sango said as she walked in.

"So I'm not going to be staying here?" Ayame asked as she took a seat on her bed.

"No, some of the inu demons don't like that fact that a wolf demon staying in their clan house." Sango explained.

"Alright…let me just get my things together and I'll be down in a bit." Ayame said as she stood up.

"I thought you had most…well all of your things at my house." Sango replied.

"Yeah, but the dragon scale I'm using is with me." Ayame said as she reached for the scale.

"We have a lot of work to do tomorrow don't we?" Sango asked in a tired voice.

"Yeah, so we need to get some rest since we're going to be going to school an hour before class starts." Ayame said as she began to walk out of the room.

After thanking Inuyasha, Sesshomaru and Rin for their hospitality, Ayame and Sango quickly made their way back to Sango's house. Once they had finished rearranging Sango's room so that the two of them had their own room to sleep, Ayame and Sango had dinner, took a shower and went to sleep. Neither one of them had any idea as to what was going to happen tomorrow.
