Book Two

Title: Ones Not Forgotten

Chapter Ten: Forgiveness Will Be Betrayal Once Again

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, InuYasha woke up early. He had to go to his parents house and start the usual. Try to forgive himself and train. InuYasha huffed then stood, stretching. He walked out the room, then went downstairs. Taiku, Kaede and surprisingly Kagome were awake. He raised an eyebrow,

"What are all of you doing awake?"

That was mostly directed toward Kagome. She never woke up this early. InuYasha looked at the clock soon. It was almost 2 PM. His eyes glared. Taiku smiled,

"You actually overslept."

"Where's Shippo?" asked InuYasha, looking at him.

Kagome answered, "He's upstairs drawing."

"Why didn't anyone wake me up?" he asked, crossing his arms with a frown.

Kaede answered, "It is ye responsibility to wake up InuYasha."

"Yeah, besides, we all didn't wake up until twelve." nodded Taiku. "InuTaisho called and said to let you sleep in."

His frown deepened, "He's going to make me work three times as hard now."

"Actually," started Taiku, "there's not much he can do if you haven't forgiven yourself yet."

InuYasha became impassive but he still glared, "Stop bringing it up because it's not going to happen."

He made his way back upstairs. Kaede and Taiku sighed. Kagome asked,

"Dad, what does he have to forgive himself for?"

He just shook his head, stood then left the room. Kaede followed suit. Kagome sighed heavily then glared down at her hand,

"This obviously has to do with me or something really traumatizing because no one won't tell me. I'll talk to InuYasha but…he's already said I have to figure it out for myself."

She stood then made her way upstairs. Kagome gently knocked on InuYasha's door then awaited a reply. InuYasha opened the door, looked at her then stepped aside. She walked in then sat on the edge of his bed. He sighed, probably already knowing what she wanted, then went to lay on the bed.

Kagome shifted, looking at him,

"What can't you forgive yourself for?"

"The same thing I told you was my fault." he replied, looking at the ceiling.

Kagome frowned, "That's not telling much."

"That's all I can tell you anyway." huffed InuYasha.

She took his hand, making him sit up then catching his eye,

"I want to help you forgive yourself."

"You can't." answered InuYasha, his eyes saddening then looking away.

She asked, "Why can't I help?"

"It just wouldn't be right." he replied.

Kagome took her hand back then stood, "Then what is my role in all of this InuYasha!?"

"You don't have one."

Kagome looked confused, "What? So you're saying I'm just an object that got in the way so you could be freed?"

"That's not what I'm saying." he retorted, standing before she decided to leave.

She glared, "Yes it is, otherwise I would have some part in all of this…this mess."

He didn't reply because he didn't know how to put this. Was he suppose to come right out and say that she had to remain oblivious to everything until they had sex? Yeah, that'd earn him a lot. A slap in the face and a coma for the next fifty years. InuYasha mentally groaned.

Kagome looked hurt,

"So it's true."

"Kagome, it's not true." he sighed. "It's hard to explain."

She sighed then nodded, "I understand, it's not your fault. I shouldn't harass you about it."

"Soon you'll know everything but by then you might hate me." replied InuYasha, taking her by her waist and pulling her toward him.

Kagome blushed, "That's true."

"Whatever you say." he said, capturing her lips into a chaste kiss.

Kagome slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. All her questions temporarily in the back of her mind. There was a knock at the door and InuYasha pulled away. She pulled back, turning the more red. He called, also pulling away,

"Come in."

The door opened and there was Taiku,

"InuTaisho wants you over…now."

"What for?" asked InuYasha.

He gave him a look that clearly said urgent. InuYasha nodded then Taiku left. Kagome asked,

"Is something wrong?"

"Nothing big I'm sure," he lied, "I probably won't be back until late. They like to debate a lot."

She hid her disappointment, "Alright."

InuYasha took her chin and pecked her on the lips. Once again, she blushed. He smirked then made his way out. Kagome sat on his bed and huffed,

"I still don't know how I got into a relationship with him. Are we even a couple?"

Takahashi Mansion

Soon as they got there, they all were on InuYasha. Faisal was the first to speak,

"InuYasha, we can't afford your dawdling any longer."

"What are you talking about?" he asked.

InuTaisho explained, "We need you to find forgiveness. Time is running out."

"How can you expect me-

Faisal cut him off, a bit harshly, "Emotions didn't matter while you were in that jail where Naraku kept you. They shouldn't matter now! Either you find someway to forgive yourself or everything is going to happen all over again. This time, Kagome might not be alive."

"What are you talking about!?" snarled InuYasha, not liking the sound of this.

InuTaisho sighed, "InuYasha, you've heard all of Kikyo's plans. Am I correct?"

"Yeah." he answered. "What does that have to with Kagome?"

Faisal sighed heavily, "It means, if Kikyo gets her hands on the whole Jewel. She may wish Kagome never existed, resulting you and her being together."

"She would." said InuTaisho. "You won't be able to find her. Kikyo has disappeared. No one can find her. She hid her scent from everyone."

He growled, "She didn't tell me this. How did you find out?"

"Why else would she want the Jewel?" asked Faisal.

InuYasha thought about it then felt really stupid. InuTaisho nodded when he knew InuYasha got it,

"So you see now, either you make her your mate soon or Kikyo's is going to end all of this."

"Why is she interfering with something that doesn't have anything to do her!" he yelled.

Faisal asked, "Why do you think?"

"InuYasha, now you know why this needs to be taken care of quickly." nodded InuTaisho.

He sighed, "Just give me a week and a half."

"Eight days, that's all I'm giving you." said Faisal before leaving.

InuTaisho patted his shoulder, "Don't come back for these eight days, unless you're ready."

InuYasha nodded then watched him leave. He decided to go for a walk until nightfall, hopeful to run into Kikyo but he didn't. Unfortunately.

Back At The Shrine: Nightfall

Kagome sat in her room, writing in her diary at her desk. Shippo was downstairs with Kaede, Taiku was in his room and InuYasha was at his parents house. She sighed and reread what she had wrote, even adding more:

Dear Diary,

I'm sorry I haven't been writing in you lately, but things have been kind of crazy. First off, while I was at the Oshima Building. Owner Naraku Oshima. It was all art in there, and I love art. It's beautiful and I end up looking at this really awesome piece of art.

When I look up, everyone was gone. I was going to look for them but I found this door. I thought the more expensive pieces would be behind this door since it read: Antique's To Be Shipped

Curiosity got the better of me and I found myself heading down those stairs. I found a door. It was a big metal one. I went inside and it was a jail cell. Tons of cells but no people in them. Who was this "Naraku Oshima"? , was all I could think.

I heard someone coming, so I hid. The man came in and went to a cell in the far back. There was someone in the room after all. When the guard, I guess you can call him, left…I was trapped in there. With some person I thought was such a huge serial killer that they had to lock him in some guys building.

Knowing me, I started toward the cell. Curious. Why? I don't know. Must've been a death wish I guess. Soon as I approached the cell, someone grabbed me by the wrist. So I freaked out and there was this man. He had long silver hair and gold…more like amber eyes. They were so emotionally broken, but do you really think I was thinking about that at the moment? No really.

What made me the more freaked, was that he knew my name! Scary right? I felt really strange when he did, but that's besides the point. A lot of stuff happened. Then Sango called me, I felt a little better until she hung up. When I looked up, this guy was OUT of the cell. Standing steps away!

So he was talking crazy (his name is InuYasha by the way…InuYasha Takahashi) and I was fearing my life. Then he started coming towards me. Each step sending my heart into another level of panic. We were having a mini argument as he did so. His eyes flashed red, which caught me off guard. I almost fell back, but he caught me….

InuYasha hugged me and said that he missed me. I was way past confused…and then he kissed my neck. The spot he kissed tingled, many questions went through my mind. Another weird thing happened, I started crying and I don't know why. When I realized, I thought I was PMSing or just plain scared. I don't really know the answer to any of these questions because everyone's hiding things from me.

Anyway, so I like flipped…pushing him away and slapped him. I was so angry, sad and confused! It was frustrating and I didn't like feeling that way. Once again! Something freaky happened! He started charging towards me, I though I'd pissed him off and I was going to meet my end. As he started towards, I was just…gone in his beautiful eyes.

Even though they were sad in so many ways, I just couldn't find my voice. I was lost in them and almost started crying again. So he pushed me into the wall, not roughly, then…then…he kissed me. I tried (poor effort though) to push him away, which REALLY didn't work. I kissed him back is the freaky part. It just felt so right, and he kissed me with so much love. Like he really knew me.

Just thinking about it makes my heart pound like a hundred drums. His lips were soft and gentle against mine. InuYasha kissed me with much want, need and desire. It wasn't to gentle but it wasn't to rough. Just like any woman should like it. I knew I was crying as we kissed, I didn't know why, but I was. He caressed my cheek and wiped away every tear.

All troubles I was dealing with, just left and I was a different person. I wrapped my arms around him, never wanting him to leave. His claws (Yes…claws…but I didn't freak out before which freaks me out now) teased my neck and I just felt so…NOT ME. I don't know! It's so hard to describe. It was special though.

At the right minute, perfect timing, he pulled away. THEN I seriously lost it. I KISSED SOME GUY I DIDN'T KNOW! HELLO! WOULDN'T YOU…you're a book…you can't but anyway, I was completely devastated. Yes…devastated by something so small. When someone says, "I kissed so-and-so." It may sound simple then but when it happens to you…like that. It's special. It's not small…it's something past beyond.

So then, he told me to remember him. If I'd been calm, I'd probably would've asked him what he meant. I'm 17 and NEVER had a close relationship with a guy. I think I may now. Why would he want to be with some young brat. He's way more mature then me. Anyway, so Sango and Miroku finally arrived. I was beyond out-of-it at the moment. The kiss was amazing, I have to admit, and it was probably the reason why.

InuYasha Takahashi. Maybe around his twenties. I never really asked his age. He's handsome, kind and everything a woman wants. Believe it or not diary, I think I'm falling in love. I don't mean that in your usual cliché way, but when I say I'm falling…I'm falling hard. I've never felt this way about anything and I hope that I'll be with him forever. It's the truth…and I'm just realizing a lot of stuff myself. Heh…I guess-

"Dear Diary," came a familiar voice, causing her to jump, "I'm-

Kagome slammed her diary shut the looked up. InuYasha was behind her, a frown on his face,

"I was reading that."

"When you get back?" she stammered, her face hot red.

He raised an eyebrow, "Just a few minutes ago. Taiku told me you've been up here sulking all day. Are you alright?"

", why would I sulk?" she stammered, looking down at her dark purple diary that she wished would blow up into dust.

That entry had some serious talk in it. If possible, her face turned redder. Thinking of his reactions after reading that just killed her inside. Some stupid teenager talk. He'd probably laugh. Kagome felt like she over exaggerated a bit in the entry but that's just how she gets once in her own thoughts.

InuYasha waved a hand in her face,

"Kagome, are you sure you're alright?"

"Um," she jumped again at his hand, standing, with the diary clutched to her chest, "just a bit of stomach pains. I should eat something. I've been reading all day."

He knew she was lying. Kagome walked over to her bed, put the diary in her nightstand drawer then closed it. InuYasha was curious. He saw Naraku's name in it. Was she talking about him? Did she remember something? He'd find out later.

Kagome looked at him and asked,

"So, um, how'd it go?"

"Fine." he shrugged, looking else where.

Eight days….

She smiled, "That's good. Are you hungry?"

InuYasha looked at her, smirked then nodded. Kagome nodded then led the way out. Relaxing a bit now that they were far away from the diary. He still knew where it was though. She made a mental note to hide it before she headed to bed.

Kagome made him and herself some ramen. Shippo headed upstairs to draw and would most likely be asleep by time she went up there. Kaede also retired to her room. Taiku was already in his room, so it was just them. Kagome was thinking to herself,

"Now that we're alone, maybe I can ask some questions."

"InuYasha?" she started, looking across the table to him.

He looked up, "What is it?"

"I have a question." she started. "I've been wondering…are we a…um…-"

InuYasha finished for her, "Couple?"

"Yeah." nods, waiting for his answer, hopeful.

He looked down at his ramen, "If you want to be but I don't want to rush anything."

"Knowing my amount of time, I'm 'going' to have to rush things. Just five days, then I'll get more serious about everything. Faisal is obviously worried about something else. Other then Kikyo. Has to be Naraku. No one ever knows what he's planning."

"Really?" she asked with a bright smile, ignoring the bad feeling within her.

InuYasha smiled at her, grateful to have her somewhat close to him again,

"Yeah."

She blushed but smiled as well. InuYasha stood, finish with his ramen. Kagome asked, also standing, throwing the cups away,

"Do you have to go see your father tomorrow?"

"Nah, not for a while. He's going to be busy." he answered.

Kagome took his hand, leading him upstairs, "I have a few more questions for you."

"I'll try to answer them." he replied, having a feeling most of them he really couldn't answer…or ones he already told her he couldn't answer.

That's Kagome…stubborn. He smiled.

She opened the door to her room, but Shippo was asleep on the bed. Sprawled out. InuYasha suggested,

"We can go to my room."

She nodded then followed. They walked in, room already lit up by the early moonlight. He walked over to the window, pushing the window open,

"You can start."

Kagome sat on his bed then started, "When we first met…how did you know me?"

"I just did." he replied.

She sighed, "I'm guessing you can't tell me."

InuYasha didn't reply. Kagome paused, then remembered something,

"How do you know Kikyo and why did you go see her that night? You came back really late."

"I had to talk with her about Naraku. It took a long time because she had a lot of plans. I wanted to know all of them." he answered.

She asked, "So, you just met her? You were just sent by your father or something?"

"I meant to talk to her anyway and no. I didn't just meet her."

Kagome asked, "When did you meet?"

"A very long time ago." he said.

Kagome frowned, "I thought you were locked up in Oshima's building since you were little."

"I was." he lied.

She was about to say something then paused, "Does this have to do with that world thing?"

"Yeah." he answered. "She remembers me."

Kagome looked over at him, "Oh."

"Kagome," started InuYasha, standing from his spot on the floor then went to sit by her, "I can't tell you everything. You'll find out later. As we get closer…the more will be revealed."

She looked into his eyes then nodded, "Alright."

He looked back into her eyes, feeling great joy. Just because she was there. Sitting in front of him. Alive and with him. She'll be really upset when she remembers and she'll hate him. For these eight days, he was going to show Kagome his love for her. She said something that caught him by surprise,

"InuYasha, I want you to forgive yourself."

"Huh?" he replied, shocked.

Kagome shrugged, "I remember you telling me that you did something really bad, but I want you to forgive yourself."

"I can't." he said, looking away, his eyes saddening.

She took his face in her hands, making him look at her, "I forgive you."

InuYasha knew, deep down…where her memories were, she didn't but this had to be enough. Until then. He leaned towards her,

"Thank you."

She didn't know what he couldn't forgive himself for but her heart was having a argument now. Kagome ignored the bad feeling she was having and let him kiss her. She kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Ironic, she thought now. This kiss…was so familiar to what she was remembering while writing in her diary. Kagome relaxed, cherishing this moment. After a while, he pulled away then kissed her forehead,

"You should go to bed before Taiku comes to check on you and you're not there."

Which really, he wasn't going to do because he knew that they wouldn't mate until he told him. She asked in a whisper,

"Can I sleep here, with you?"

InuYasha looked at her. How the moonlight made her look more like a goddess. This was familiar. A memory flashed in his head. When they first mated. She looked into his eyes,

"Please."

"Alright." he said.

Kagome smiled. He pulled back the covers then she got under them. InuYasha climbed under with her, pulling her to his chest. She smiled, soon going asleep. He stayed awake, feeling the hours past. The feeling of her in his arms, just made him think of all the good times they had. InuYasha looked down at her, kissing her forehead.

He remembered her diary then eased out her arms. InuYasha left the room and into hers. He took the diary from the drawer the began to ready. Good thing he had good eyesight.

After about twenty minutes of rereading it over and over again he put it away. He was shocked. Was she really in love with him? Already? Maybe Fate was on his side…or he was just lucky. InuYasha sighed,

"I guess eight days is all I need."

The night air blew into the room, shuffling Shippo's drawings that were on the floor. One blew into his lap. He picked it up then looked at it. InuYasha couldn't help but smile. In the picture, everyone was happy. Sango and Miroku were on the left side of the picture. Hugging each other, smiling. Shippo was in the middle with a peace sign, then it was him and Kagome.

They were on the right. Kagome had an infant in her arms and InuYasha had his arm around her waist. He ran his thumb over the picture of the infant. It was a boy. He had long moon-light silver hair, with black dog ears. His eyes were silver-blue but the iries were an amber color, a beautiful mix.

He had his arms outreached toward Kagome. InuYasha felt sorrow again. As he stared at the picture, something flashed in his mind and he gasped. That boy he saw when his mother was trying to tame his demon. He was standing in the ruins. InuYasha's eyes were wide as he saw the scene in his head:

All he could see was the back of the boys head. The vision is much clearer then before. He has long silver hair, black dog ears. InuYasha felt something wrong. He heard his voice. The boy, he looked about 8. He was crying. The voice…it sounded so real…

"Mom! Dad! Where are you!?"

He was shaking, wiping his face, which InuYasha couldn't see. He felt his heart clench as the view moved to the side to reveal a huge demon behind him. A serpent demon maybe. The boy was no longer crying, but shaking because he knew something was behind him. InuYasha couldn't break from this vision.

The boy was beginning to slowly turn around but he heard screaming. It was faint, but there. It sounded like Kagome.

"No! No! Please no!"

InuYasha managed to see something purple before the vision ended and he fell over. He was panting and sweating. Kagome was screaming…in his room. InuYasha hurried to his feet, running back into his room, leaving the picture on the floor in hers. Once in his room, he pulled Kagome into his arms,

"Kagome wake up!"

"No, no…please don't! Someone help him! Run!" she screamed. "Not again! Please! Someone save my baby! No!"

InuYasha shook her and she jolted awake. She looked up at him then started bawling. He pulled her into his arms, rubbing her back,

"Sh, it's ok."

"No it's not." she sobbed harder.

Kagome felt horrible and she didn't know why she was crying. She felt very angry, sad…but she couldn't even remember the dream. Her heart was pounding and great sorrow just swept over her. Kagome cried into his chest. He whispered into her ear,

"It's ok."

Eventually, she calmed down. Kagome pulled back, wiping away her tears,

"I'm sorry. I always have these dreams…and I never remember them."

"I'm sorry." he said, his voice husky and strained…like before.

Kagome looked up and swallowed her gasp. His eyes were blood red, a blue pupil and a purple stripe on each of his cheeks. She put her hand on his cheek, strangely not afraid,

"Did you see it? Tell me…tell me what you saw."

"No." he said, putting his hand over hers then closing his eyes, trying to calm down. "I…this is all my fault."

His voice was normal again, but it was broken. Kagome shook her head,

"No it's not!"

She hugged him. InuYasha hugged her back, his pain easing only a bit but he knew her words weren't true because she didn't remember anything. Kagome was completely oblivious to everything. She pulled away and kissed him. InuYasha kissed her back, seeking love out of her kiss and that he got in return. Kagome laid back onto the bed, with him over her and kissed him sweetly.

In her heart, she could feel the same pain he was. She had a very strong urge to calm him. Kagome absent-mindedly whispered into the kiss,

"I love you."

He pulled away then looked down at her. Kagome feared of being rejected or laughed at. She'd be broken. InuYasha leaned down and kissed her passionately. He then pulled away before she could return the kiss,

"I love you so much more."

Tears raised in her eyes and she smiled. Kagome leaned up and kissed him. He kissed her back but soon pulled away, not wanting it to go far. Not yet. InuYasha wanted to enjoy his time with Kagome…so he'd wait…until day 8.

He laid beside her then pulled her into his chest, pecking her neck. Kagome relaxed, as did he. Soon she was back to sleep. InuYasha was about to doze off after an hour later of thinking of that vision. He felt like he was asleep but…Kagome's voice…she sounded awake…but…

"How could you leave…." came her voice.

This wasn't Kagome…that one that he'd just talked to anyway. He whispered,

"K…Kagome?"

"How can you even live knowing what you did." she said in a shaky voice.

InuYasha just had a bad thought. This was like…a twist. Kagome's in Kikyo's place now and Kikyo's all together and alive. The thought made his heart break slightly. InuYasha's eyes stung,

"Kagome, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. I told you to stay away…they warned us but…neither of us listened."

"You knew I couldn't let you go like that." she retorted, her eyes moving while they were closed.

He touched her arm but it jerked back. Kagome spoke harshly,

"Don't touch me you bastard."

"Kagome, please." replied InuYasha.

Tears ran down her face, "I hate you. I wish I…I never met you. Then I wouldn't of had to die…our pup wouldn't of died and I wouldn't be stuck in this body. Seeing all the damn dreams she can't remember!"

Kagome's eyes opened slowly and full of hate, anger, regret and everything that wasn't her. He felt his heart split in two at her words. She sobbed,

"Did you think, that staying away from me solved everything? You were wrong! I kept seeing it. Every night, in the dreams. Sesshomaru…raping me. Seeing myself die. Seeing Miroku and Sango die. Seeing Shippo die then forgive you.

"I don't know how he could forgive you, but you know what's the worse thing of all this? I have good dreams sometimes. Of us. Of our group and of me and you. No matter how much I want to hate you and nothing else. I want to love you just the same.

"That hate I feel overpowers the love…all the time…until you came back. This is torture to me and you thought staying away solved everything. That just…pisses me off!"

"Kagome." he said, sitting up.

Kagome was glowing a red, black misty color. She sat up as well, looking at her hands and the power that emitted from it. InuYasha felt dull as she said all those things. It ate him up then spat him out. Worthless pile of nothing. A half breed…

She looked at him,

"You aren't a half breed anymore. You're demon, just like you wanted from the start, remember? How can you feel self-pity right now? All you saw was dead bodies-

"I saw everything Kagome." he interrupted, looking away from her hating eyes. "My mother showed me. Everything and…you have no idea how much it killed me."

She scoffed, "It killed you emotionally. Emotions don't matter as a demon. They get eaten up by rage, every time. My emotions DID kill me."

"Kagome, don't talk that way. It's not like you." he said.

Kagome's jaw clenched, "How do you want me to speak? Since I am your woman, I guess I better talk like it or you'll slap me or something. Ring any bells?"

She stood, standing in front of the bed. InuYasha lowered his head at the reminder of when he hurt her. Kagome started speaking in a sweet voice,

"Oh isn't the moon beautiful InuYasha? I'm glad I'm with you. I don't know what I'd to without you. I love you so much."

"Stop it." said InuYasha, in a tight and shaky voice.

She continued, "How about we have sex again and have a new baby. To make things easier, just send me to Sesshomaru and let him rape me again…."

"Stop."

Kagome still went at it, "Oh no, I'm dead. Let's start all over and see what happens-

"I said STOP!" he yelled, taking her by the collar of her shirt and slamming her against the bed.

She looked at him impassively. InuYasha glared down at her with wet eyes,

"It's only been 17 years."

"17 years?" she repeated, glaring back. "InuYasha, I've been alive just as long as you have. Yeah, my body was reborn and all that. So what. I've been around just as long as you. We knew each other as kids, to only die. I was a ghost. Floating around, trying to find you…until this happened."

InuYasha rested his forehead against her shoulder, "Please forgive me Kagome. I know you hate me, but I love you…and what you're doing…."

He paused, his voice completely broken. Tears clouded Kagome's eyes and she wished she knew how to hide the scent. They spilled down her cheek. He pulled back and looked at her,

"You don't hate me-

"Yes I do, now get off of me!" yelled Kagome, looking away from him.

He shook his head, "You're angry at me. You're angry at yourself…-

"For falling in love with you! For meeting you! I want you to feel how I felt InuYasha! Waiting three years for you to finally fall in love with ME! You always ran after Kikyo! Always! I never dated anyone because I always hoped you'd love me! But it took three years and I only got a couple of months of it! Kikyo got a full two years and a half!

"That's why I hate you! Get off me!"

"I'm so sorry." he said, not moving. "For treating you like you didn't matter, but if you won't forgive me willingly. Then I'll do all in my power to make you see how much I love you. I'm really sorry…I am. I'm determined to…to make you see."

Kagome shook her head, "It won't work!"

"Yes it will." he said, putting his hand on her cheek. "I'm sorry Kagome."

She shook her head. InuYasha leaned down and kissed her on the lips.

"InuYasha…."

He didn't want this vision…or dream…or whatever the hell it was to end. Kagome slacked under him and kissed him back.

"InuYasha, wake up!"

InuYasha pulled away from Kagome and she shook her head. Hate in her eyes. She then turned away, clenching her hand into a fist.

"INUYASHA!"

It ended and his eyes opened to a bright room. Its was morning…or afternoon. InuYasha looked over to his left to see Kagome. She asked,

"Can you let go of my wrist?"

He shot up the let her go. Kagome rubbed her slightly bruised wrist. InuYasha apologized,

"I'm sorry."

"It's ok." she said, looking concerned. "Are you ok? You were sort of thrashing in your sleep. I was going to go get Dad, then you grabbed me saying don't go. I'm worried, are you ok?"

InuYasha took her wrist, rubbing it, "I'm sorry."

"Would you stop saying that." she said, taking her hand back. "I'm fine, it's you I'm worried about."

InuYasha put his face in his hands, "Don't worry about me. I don't deserve it."

"Stop that too, you're always putting yourself down." she said with a frown, leaning over and pecking him on the cheek. "I love you."

He looked up. Kagome eye's sparkled when she said it but…like he thought before. She's just oblivious…right now anyway. That dream…wasn't just a dream. Kagome really said those things…the memories told him all those hateful things. He felt horrible now. Remembering what happened.

Kagome smiled,

"Perk up, it's a pretty day. Come on, let's go on a walk."

InuYasha nodded, "Go take a shower and eat…just give me a minute, ok?"

"Alright." she said, looking worried.

He gave her a brief kiss, "I love you."

"I love you too." she smiled before leaving.

InuYasha laid back on the bed, staring at the ceiling, getting a serious headache. He sighed heavily,

"Eight days…."
