Chapter 11 Remembering the Past

Kagome sat under a willow tree and thought over the names that Inuyasha used. "How will I remember so many people?" She said as she looked the ground; while her hands fiddled with the grass. "Shippo, sounds familiar, I just don't know how to place him in my memory." She stood up and wiped the dirt off of her behind and continued on down the road.

She froze in terror. "NO!" she screamed, as she clutched her hands and arms around her head and ears. She fell to her knees shaking her head. She fell to the ground and passed out. Even in her sleep, she still spoke blurry and distant words. Sweat beads trickled down her face and onto the ground. She lay there on the ground; crumpled up and weak.

Jack sat at the dinning table as he watched the half demon intently. Inuyasha jolted to his feet; knocking the chair backwards. "What is it Inuyasha?" Jack questioned. Inuyasha didn't say anything as he jolted out of the room quickly. 'I smell Kagome, she's in pain and sorrow right now.' He thought as he ran down the road.

He looked and saw her crumpled up body on the side. He picked her up in his muscular arms and carried her into the forest. He laid her down and looked at her figure. Her breathing was frantic and fast and sweat came down her face like rain. "Kagome?" Inuyasha questioned. Kagome didn't open her eyes, "Inuyasha, is that really you?" she mumbled.

"Yes, it's me, Kagome." He said cupping her cheek in his hand. "Do you remember?"

"Yes, I remember everything, from when I first came her to the last thing that crossed my mind." She said in slow shallow voice. "Remember, when Kouga died, trying to save me." Tears rolled down her face. "Remember when Kouga and I made love." Inuyasha jerked his hand away from her face. 'She did what with Kouga, Kouga and Kagome made love?' He snarled. "When did you and Kouga make love Kagome?"

"On the full moon of May, he took me with him that very night. That's when Sesshomaru took me. He captured me to get to you." Kagome answered. Inuyasha snarled and looked at her with disgust. 'That was the night that she was supposed to be back from her time!' Inuyasha stood to his feet and started to walk away. "Inuyasha, you're not mad are you, because I didn't mean to make you mad." Kagome said before her eyes fluttered open.

"Oh dear, what happened Inuyasha?"

"You were past out. Why did you pass out?" Inuyasha grumbled in deep and angered voice.

"Well it's kind of delicate. I was walking down the road and that's when a something of my past hit me. It was a dusky sun set, first there were sounds of demons and I guess I tried to ward them off with arrows, but then got to me. I was crying. They beat me, and then stabbed me. Then there was a man, I think he was a wolf demon or something like that. Then I don't remember anymore. Any way, this scar on my big scar on my stomach makes a lot more sense." Kagome said as opened her kimono and showed Inuyasha her big circular scar. "But these scars around it were made by claws. I have yet to understand them." She closed her kimono and smiled warmly at him.

Inuyasha was wide-eyed, 'Yes, it makes more sense now, every full moon, the wolf leader mates, if the woman refuses, she gets punished with his claws when he is making love to the woman, but most leaders can't control it and don't remember for a while what happened. It also says that it only gets a girl pregnant when the leader and woman really care about each other and if she accepts,' Inuyasha's eyes widened. 'So she refused and he scared her?' Inuyasha was lost deep in thought, when a soft and gentle voice brought him back to reality.

"Inuyasha, are you okay, does any of this make sense to you?" She questioned lightly.

"No, none of it does, I better be off." He said in hurry as he jumped up and a tree and disappeared from sight.

Kagome sighed deeply and stood up. She walked back to the village and walked into her home. She sat down and placed her head on the brown aged wood of the dinning table. Jake came in her house and smiled. "Are you okay?"

"Jake, I'm starting to remember my past."

Jake clutched his hand at the thought of him losing to that dog demon. "Well, the new moon is approaching, isn't it?" She questioned. "There's something about the new moon that comes into my head, but I can't quite remember what it is." She scratched her head and smiled at him. "Yeah, tonight, is when it comes." Jack replied.

"Anyway, I better get cooking for the festivities tonight, right?" She got up and walked over to the cooking stand. Jake went out the door to go and find himself some peace and to figure out how to seduce Kagome.

The night approached and so did Inuyasha. He forgot about the new moon and what will happen tonight.
