Disclaimer: No matter how much I wish I owned Inuyasha, I don't.
A/N: 39 reviews! Yay! ^_^ So far only one person told me how many chapters this should be, so if no one else tells me, I guess it'll be 15 or 16 chapters. I can think up a lot of memories! n_n Thanx everyone for your support! Oh yeah, I was gonna see if anyone said anything about her lulaby. Only two people did, Lemon-Queen-69 and pinkpiggy, and yes I made it up. Doesn't it suck, minna-san? P.S.: Okay I know I'm weird but what does AU mean? O_O Everyone seems to know but me!
SHOUT-OUTS:
cherrymecha: I don't think your strange, I like fluff moments too. Don't worry, there's more fluff on the way! ^_^
Misao CG: That's a nice comment. ^_^ lol
Aeyikie: *barely dodges rotten tomato* I'm hurrying! Cool! I'm gettin threats now, Who Hoo! *dances around* ahem Yes I go crazy too, but you already knew that, ne? O_o
Lil Washu: I like long stuff too. Thaks for replying to the how many chapters question. I'm glad someone thinks I'm a good writer. I was surpised no one flamed me yet. I dunno, I just felt like someone who say I talk too much about stuff that doesn't go with the topic, or my spelling, or just say I suck for no good reason. Maybe I just think too low of myself. *shrugs*
Twin Star of Suzaku: Yeah I know. Alot more memories to go too!
Lemon-Queen-69: I like the name! I meant to tell you in the last chapter, I think I forgot. It finally downloaded off of Kazaa, but then, my media player wouldn't play the movie! All I heard was Linkin Park's In the End, but no Inuyasha music video! So I did what any normal teenage girl would do. I dropped to my knees and screamed no and banged my head on the wall screaming no over and over again until my grandma came in. She thought I was dieing, so I just said calmly, "I'm fine" and sat in my chair once again until she walked out. Then I banged my head on my desk for the rest of the song and panicked some more. Do you know how to make it work? I made up the lullaby. Didn't it suck? I tried. My friend said it sucked so now I'm paranoid. I'm listening to Every Heart right now. I like the English version too even if the lyrics don't match the Japanese translations.
pinkpiggy: Yeah, alot more fluff on the way. I decided that today during my English aide period at school. A spork is the perfect instrument of torture, it's a cross between a fork and a spoon. It like, comes with some cafeteria lunches I guess. It looks kinda like a spoon, but has the fork teeth on the top. I guess it's like for little kids so they don't have to get a spoon and a fork. *_* Yeah I made the lullaby up!
kat: Sure! I'd be honored if you'd use my fanfic. I didn't spell honored right did I? I'm really glad you like the story. I always wanted to do something with her father. Oh yeah, I saw your website and I like the little flowers that follow the mouse around! ^_^

Memories by a Golden Locket: Ch. 5: The Cold Shivers
Kagome shivered as the cold wind circled around her hair. The coldness... It triggered a memory once again in her soul and her eyes glazed over just as the sun reflected off the golden heart around her neck.
~*~*~*~* Another Memory by Kagome~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome, eight years almost nine, walked through her house in the Higurashi Shrine. It was cold outside, almost officially winter, and an ominous wind stirred outside the screen door. She shivered just thinking of going outside, but she was looking for her dad.
Her mom loved her, but seemed too occupied with baby Souta to notice her at times. Right now even, her mother tried to get Souta to calm down and stop crying. Her Gramps? He had wished she was a boy when she was born. He had tried to turn her into a tomboy, and almost succeeded, if Souta wasn't born. He tried to teach her to like sports and had her usually dressed like a boy with an oversized cap on, but when Souta was born, he forgot about his mission to turn Kagome into a boy.
Now it seemed all he cared about was Souta, or when she was eight, but in the present he pays attention to her. It was just the excitement of getting to raise a boy she guessed. Gramps couldn't wait til' he could train Souta to be a preist and carry on the Higurashi Shrine.
Her dad loved her the most. He spent more time with her than Souta, but I guess that's just because when Souta was born, they all seemed to forget about her. Her dad played with her and took her to many places to do fun things together. She was happy when she was with her dad.
She rounded the corner and started looking some more. She called out to him, but all she heard was her brother crying and Mom and Gramps trying to calm him down, like always. Don't get me wrong, she stilled loved her brother and vowed to protect him and be a good big sister, but now that he was only a baby...She decided to wait until he was older to play with him. Gramps taught her to play rougher than most girls even though it slowly faded from her personality as she grew older, right now she had a rough side to her. She was afraid she'd hurt him and her mom was afraid she'd drop him, so she relied on her dad as entertainment.
She walked to the door and began to put on her boots and coat. She zipped her coat over her sweater and with a deep breath, she opened the front door. It was cold as the winds raged at her. The ground was crisp, the grass was dead, and the trees were leafless. It would snow later today, but it hadn't started yet. It was still in the morning hours so the sun wasn't that high up yet. It was very cold outside as she began walking around to the side of the house calling out to her dad.
The wind blew by her, but carried a weird scent. She sniffed and wrinkled her nose. She didn't like the scent at all. It was...She tried to place it... Oh yeah, it was cigguratte smoke. Someone was smoking at the shrine! She sniffed and tried to follow the trail as accuately as possilbe. She saw the God tree and saw her dad under it, a cigguratte in his hand.
"Daddy!" She cried out horrified, "You always told me that smoking was bad for you! What are you doing!?" She ran to him and knelt beside him.
"Kag, you shouldn't be out here in the cold. Go inside." He stated firmly.
"Daddy! Answer the question." She said as worry edged it's way into her voice.
"Kag, I've been smoking for tewnty years. Nothing's happened to me yet. Now go inside, this smoke is bad for you." He commanded her.
She sighed and got up, daring not to defy her father. She was worried. She had classes at school tellong her how bad smoking was, and she knew it was bad. Even her dad told her himself! And now she finds him smoking!? She was angry at her dad now. 'Why haven't I seen him smoking before now?' She asked herself mentally. Then she remembered all the times her dad 'stepped outside for some fresh air' as he put it. 'I was a baka.' She thought as she entered the house to see her mom, brother, and Gramps asleep on the couch. She smiled, and the memory faded.
~*~*~*~*~*~* End Memory~*~*~*~*~*
"Kagome? Are you okay?" Shippou asked as he bounced on her shoulder. She snapped out of her trance. "Hmm?" She said as she blinked at him.
"Lady Kagome? You've been acting strangely lately." Miroku said as he walked over to her.
Inuyasha was already at her side, a hand to her forehead. Kagome blushed. Was it just her or was he actually acting nicer than usual? He looked into her eyes. "A little warm.." he muttered to himself.
"I'm fine, I was just thinking. That's all! I'm not sick." She said even though she was getting dizzy just being this close to Inuyasha. It was taking every ounce of her willpower not to hug him.
She was suddenly surpised when Inuyasha picked her up once again and began walking. "Are you all coming or not!? We gotta keep going and...why are you all staring at me that way1?" He asked as he noticed their weird expressions towards him.
"Why are you carrying Kagome?" Shippou asked.
"Feh," He relied looking away, "If I let this wench walk on her own, she'd zone out and slow us down. This way is faster."
"Sure it is Inuyasha. That's your only reason." Said Miroku on the sarcastic side and he smirked when Inuyasha blushed. Kagome had stopped trying to get down from Inuyasha's arms and smiled. She enjoyed being with Inuyasha and being this close to him, made her wanna melt.
They all started walking, looking for some rumors and yet staying close to the well in case Kagome really was sick and needed to go back to her time. They heard running water and found a hotspring. Kagome was so happy she started shouting out things like, "Hurray! A hotspring! Can we stop real quick Inuyasha, Please?" She looked up at him with her best cute eyes and tried out the clenched fist under chin look.
He gave in and she jumped out of his arms and hugged him. He turned five shades of red and just said "Feh." She jumped around and her and Sango walked towards them. Inuyasha, Miroku, and Shippou sat on some rocks before Miroku, being the nice guy he is, decided to break the silence with a very mature question.(*Rolls eyes*) "You wanna go spy on them?"
Inuyasha responded by hitting Miroku over the head and saying, "Like I'd want to spy on Kagome taking a bath."
Miroku grinned ear to ear, "But don't you wanna know why Kagome's been acting weird?"
"Yeah...What does that have to do with spying on her?"
Miroku hit him over the head with his staff. "Girls talk, Inuyasha. That means she's probaly talking about it right now with Sango." He said as if it was the most obvious answer in the world. Inuyasha contemplated it before nodding and telling Shippou to wait there for them to return.
Together, Miroku and Inuyasha headed towards the hotsprings...
