Chapter 5.5 - In the beginning we all make sense
 
---

'He doesn't make sense…
She doesn't make sense…
Together they make sense…'

---
Inuyasha woke with a start a blinding head pain and a rather disgusting taste in the back of his throat reminded him he was still alive, he moaned and closed his eyes tightly remaining static for a while. He felt like shit and looked like shit to boot…his mind settled on what Kaede had told him earlier.

**flashback**

Inuyasha stood in the back office where Kaede had called him in. He leaned against the door-way sighing not paying much attention to her.

"Inuyasha? Those men who where in here the other night…the ones beating at the music box…" she began looking up at the uninterested hanyou leaning casually against the door. "…was it you that beat them?"

Inuyasha sighed. "Yes… it was me" he scorned.

"Inuyasha! You must learn to control yourself, one of those men looked like…"

"I don't give a shit who or what those fucking idiots looked like!" Inuyasha interrupted her.

Kaede motioned him to sit with her head eyeing his every move. "Inuyasha…have you told her yet?"

 "No…" Kaede looked at him. Inuyasha's ear twitched with annoyance. "Oh so what am I supposed to do baba?" he growled under his breath, "walk up to her and say- Hey! Kagome, I'm actually your lifetime- mate and I've come back to claim you and stop you from getting killed…oh by the way did I mention I've failed every time."

Kaede rasied her head and looked up at him knowingly. "Time is growing short, Inuyasha."

"Look! Stay out of my life Baba! You have no clue how I'm feeling…I can't even control that stupid spell to make me look human…I'm the obvious target here! Fuck, you walk into that diner and look around you-there are three fucking demons in there and no one fucking suspects a thing! You look at me and everyone sees a freak! If you have nothing important to tell me don't fucking speak to me at all!"

"Calm yourself, Inuyasha."

"Keh!" he snorted turning to leave the room.

"Inuyasha…time is ticking and you have to tell her or you'll lose her…again" Kaede warned his retreating figure.

"What the fuck does she know…" Inuyasha grunted under his breath before heading back into the kitchens. Shoving his way through the diner.

**end**

meanwhile…

Kagome gaped at the scroll in her hand. "You mean that the girl mentioned in this scroll is… me?"

Kaede nodded in agreement. "Inuyasha has been looking for you, Kagome. You and he are bound, mind, body and soul. Even if he can't remember his past he will always come back to you."

"But Kaede, I don't believe in this stuff. Its just fairy-tales right?" Kagome scoffed.

"Believe what you want, Kagome. Take heed my words child, you are the chosen."

Kagome sighed before leaving a rather stunned looking Sango and Miroku. Learning about your so-called past was interesting, but to find out you were together even in past, present and future was a lot to handle. 

"Inuyasha?" she whispered his name on entering the dark room he was lain in.

Inuyasha looked up at Kagome's worried eyes and reached out to her as she blindingly searched for his hand.

"Kagome…oomph" he was cut off when his whole body was tightly squashed against a very weepy girl.

"I…I thought I lost you," she stuttered through tears and hiccups. "Don't ever leave me Inuyasha"

"Never" was his only reply wrapping his own arms around her waist pulling her even tighter into his body.

Kagome closed her eyes. "I've fallen…" she started slowly.

"Did you hurt yourself?" Inuyasha asked in sheer worry.

Kagome smiled. "I haven't finished… I've fallen very much so in love with you"

Inuyasha cupped her face in his hand and lifted her head to reach down and kiss her. "I carry you with my heart, Kagome. I finally found you." His words seemed to feel right and flowed freely from his tongue.

Kagome opened her eyes. "I'm in love with you. Inuyasha, you already have my heart"

*Oh can't you see?
You belong to me
How my poor heartaches
With every step you take*

 'Inuyasha has been looking for you, Kagome. You and he are bound, mind, body and soul. Even if he can't remember his past he will always come back to you'

Kaede's words played with Kagome's thoughts as she lay beside the now sleeping hanyou. She stoked her hand through his hair and looked up at his furry triangular ear.

'His heart flows with two blood lines that of an hanyou'

Hanyou, part human part demon. Kagome sighed her head was spinning with all of what Kaede said. Does this make sense? I said it myself, we don't make that much sense, but together we make sense. Is this what I meant unconsciously. Kaede said I was a Miko priestess with powers beyond that of human and Inuyasha was my…mate-lover. If he's been searching for me, then why doesn't he remember anything? But didn't he say he found me? I'm so confused. Kagome sighed once again and leaned her chin on the sleeping hanyou's head.

Inuyasha's ears twitched and moved in all directions his whole body started to flinch in Kagome's grasp. Kagome panicked at first, she thought something was wrong but she noticed his eyes were tightly shut and his whole face looked pained. He was dreaming. 'Nightmare maybe' Kagome thought reaching down to touch his face allowing her fingers to touch his lips tenderly. Inuyasha calmed under her touch, but his body still tensed under her hold.

**flashback past(dream)**

Inuyasha's felt his chest burn with pain before he was thrown back against a large tree abruptly knocking the jewel he carried from his hands. He raised his head toward his attacker and narrowed his eyes in betrayal and hurt.

Her long-black hair blew away from her shoulders exposing her bloody wound her face was hard and void of emotion. She stood her ground eyeing the hanyou she had pinned down with her enchanted arrow.

Inuyasha kept his dull golden eyes open for as long as he could but the pain was blinding and no matter what he thought his only words were that of hurt.

"H..how could you?"

She had betrayed him and he would never forgive her - ever. He told her his secret in confidence; she knew of his weakness and deceived his trust. She had hit the arrow directly into his chest. Aiming for his weakness as a hanyou.

His heart.

Inuyasha fought once more to keep his eyes open but the pain was incredibly strong and his chest and throat burned with scorching miko enchantments.

She moved slowly almost cautiously toward the hanyou she had pinned to the god tree. He was strong, considering his heart was his only weakness. She actually felt pity, but soon scorned herself - he attacked her and the village this youkai tricked her.

The jewel.

She looked up into his pain filled eyes with hate and mistrust before picking up the sacred jewel heaving it into her hands and securely wrapping her fingers tightly around the glowing object.

Hell would freeze over if he were to cheat death and she could feel her life force draining from her body. The miko energy she had poured into that arrow should hold a seal for an eternity and over. It was the last of her energy that would stop the hanyou's heart from beating, slowly killing his soul before freezing his entire body.

Hate, betrayal, misunderstanding and lack of loyalty - Fate was cruel and her hardness and lack of emotion only increased when moments and memories flashed before her eyes. She was dying.

**end flashback(dream)**

Inuyasha jerked out of Kagome's arms with such speed she was almost pulled up with him. His heart was beating fast and sweat poured from his face and neck, his shallow but long breathing indicated that nightmare had hurt him. Kagome was at his side in moments, her eyes blaze in worry when she reached out to touch him.

Inuyasha didn't look or react to her touch and soothing words. Instead he took her hand in his and guided both their hands to his chest pushing her hand firmly but gently over his beating heart. Could he tell her? Was this the right time…he had made himself hard and distant over the years. His promise was shattered into many pieces the day he laid eyes on her. His heart was slowly repairing itself and even through he was nervous to get to close to her, she still lured him to her even if she was unaware of it.

Kagome relaxed and concentrated on his beating heart, which was rapidly but unevenly racing in his chest. She reached out with her other arm and gathered him into her, his head leaned on her shoulder his grip still holding onto her other hand hovering over his heart.

Kagome held onto him for dear life as though she felt him slip away from her. She couldn't get rid of the feeling that something was going to happen and she would lose him forever. The scroll and its content flashed before her and her mind began to wonder. Kaede had said some things that unnerved her but how did Kaede know of Inuyasha and the scrolls? She was getting confused and frustrated. She was soon knocked out of her perplexed thoughts when Inuyasha whispered her name.

"Inuyasha?" she answered equally hushed, her eyes now giving away her worry.

"I have to tell you something…about us…you…me…everything."

What ever Inuyasha wanted to say she still couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong and by the sound of things this was going to be a long night.

Chapter 6.6 - 'What if it was true? What about the curse the scroll mentioned? What…was she thinking!?' Her mind screamed in defense. 'I don't believe any of it…' she swallowed hard trying to convince herself she didn't believe.

"Kagome…?"

Kagome thoughts were interrupted; she looked up into his solemn face and managed to smile.

"Kagome, haven't you even noticed I'm different?"


A/N: I have to apologize to any Kikyo likers/lovers reading this - I made her sound heartless and cold, but I'm a fan of the Manga and that would give me the excuse ^^; (I'm not a Kikyo fan)

Merry Christmas!!
