MEMORIES OF THE FORGOTTEN

Hello minna!! I have so muck HMK n I also have a UNIT TEST on religion (I go to a catholic high school)l!! My teacher is a hard marker, and I got 1.5 out of TEN on a FRICKIN QUIZ!!! It's so hard! Damn, I need a BREAK...from homework de gozaru yo!! ^_____________^!! I will never leave my readers hanging!! Arigato for your generous amount of reviews!! I finally made 100!! Woo hoo!!! YAHAHAHAHA!!! WEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I MADE 100!!! AHAHAHA!!! -_-;; Ahem, anyway, better get started on this chap!! Just remember...things may NOT be as expected as they seem...Kikyou might live, even though I don't like her...hehehe, we'll just have to read to find out what happens, ne?


I'LL KILL YOU!! GIVE ME BACK MY MARROW, DAMN YOU!!

"Emergency here!! We have a casualty from a car accident with severe injuries to her arms, legs, and back!! Quick, she's losing consciousness! We're losing her!! We're LOSING HER!!" a nurse yelled, as she and a team of paramedics rushed into the emergency room.

"W-Where am I?" Kikyou thought faintly, as her eyes drifted from one person to another.

"Don't worry, miss! You're going to be fine! Just hold on! We're almost there!!" a nursed encouraged her to 'stay with them', "DOCTOR!!" she yelled.

'Inuyasha...I need you...' was the last thing Kikyou thought before slipping into unconsciousness.

"Kagome!!" Mrs. Higurashi burst into the hospital room, accompanied by Souta and Jiichan.

"Nan desu ka yo?" Kagome asked normally.

"Neechan!!" Souta's face was brimming with happiness, "they found you a match!! She's a patient here in the hospital right now!! She looks exactly like you, and her name starts with a 'K' too! Now you can get a bone marshmallow plant!"

The whole group cheered. Kagome's face slowly spread into a toothy grin. Her younger brother's intelligence on bone marrow transplants weren't very...sharp. Souta beamed, not knowing what his sister was smiling about.

"What's the person's name, Souta?" Kagome asked him with a voice filled with humor.

Souta scrunched up his face, "Ano...I think that her name was like...Ki...Kiko or something like that...Ki-ku-yo...I think..."

Inuyasha stopped dead in his tracks. Kikyou? Had he heard him right? What was she doing in the hospital? Kagome had also sensed the tension when Souta mentioned (or tried to mention Kikyou's name) Kikyou's name.

"Anyway," Souta continued happily, "she is not awake yet because she got hit by a car. They're going to do the transplant while she's asleep. Isn't it great, Neechan?"

Kagome nodded stiffly, and forced a fake smile. Souta didn't notice the difference and just kept smiling happily. Inuyasha got up and walked towards the door of the room.

"Inuyasha, where do you think you're going?" Sango asked sharply.

"I...I have to see something..." he said nervously, and left the room.

Sango sighed and turned back to face Kagome.

"Don't worry, Kagome-chan," she said reassuringly, patting her hand, "he'll come back alright..."

No sooner when Inuyasha left, a group of nurses and doctors came in. They moved Kagome onto a stretcher with wheels. It was difficult, but they had managed to get her into the operation room.

"Friends and family must wait outside. Our hospital policy." The nurse smiled dryly at Mrs. Higurashi, as she ushered them out of the room.

Kagome looked around the room, it was painted a light blue, a typical hospital colour. Her gaze fell onto the mini table beside her. They were filled with different sized objects that were sharp and shiny. Kagome paled at the sight of them. Were they going to slice her skin with these?!?! She had no clue, but it was pretty obvious that they would. The doors opened, and another stretcher with a person on it rolled in. Kagome presumed that it was the person that was going to do the transplant. She did not see the face of the girl because her head was turned the other way.

"Alright, everyone!! Put on your gloves!" the doctor instructed, and put his on with a big snap.

The nurse turned the girl's head to face the ceiling. Kagome gasped. It couldn't be...Kikyou?! She was the one that got hit by a car?! How!? Kagome was pondering about this when she was abruptly jerked out of her thoughts by the doctor.

"Higurashi-dono, I'm going to give you some anesthetic. You won't remember a thing when you wake up. Sweet dreams!"

And with that, the doctor put the oxygen mask on her. At her first breath, the view began to get hazy, then everything began to slide out of focus. In a few seconds, sleep claimed her.


* * *

Inuyasha rushed down the halls to look for Kikyou. He got more frustrated as soon as he found out that this hospital had ten floors with thirty rooms in each level. He stomped up to the secretary, who was talking on the phone.

"You!" he growled, "where is the patient Kikyou?"

She looked up with pure annoyance written all over her face. She then told the person that she would call her back, and hung up.

"Are you related to this patient, sir?" she asked mildly.

"No!" he snapped, "I'm just here to see her!! You know, a VISITOR?!"

"Hai! I know what a visitor is, sir!!" the secretary was pissed now.

A rude man had interrupted her phone call, and was now speaking rudely to her. She then looked into her notebook to see who the patient was.

"SIR, we REQUIRE the patient's NAME, and the REASON for WHY you're here." The secretary said slowly, stressing each capitalized word.

"WELL, the PATIENT'S NAME is KO-BAY-YA-SHI, KI-KU-YO." Inuyasha gritted his teeth, emphasizing each syllable in Kikyou's name.

She narrowed her eyes dangerously, and looked up the name. She then led the way to a waiting room where Sesshoumaru and the gang were waiting.

"Oi, nurse!! I asked for Kikyou's room, not some waiting room!" he said irritably.

"Well, the patient is INSIDE the operation room, as you can see there." She sniffed disapprovingly.

Inuyasha and the secretary were glowering at each other...no...more like having a glaring contest.

"Uh...Inuyasha?" Miroku tapped him on the shoulder, "just what ARE you doing?"

"Huh? Nani?!" Inuyasha snapped out of his glare to turn to Miroku, "me and this wench were having a glaring contest."

"o.O"

"Shuddup, Miroku!"

Everyone in the room sweat dropped.


After one hour later...

Sesshoumaru paced up and down the halls outside the operation room. Every once in a while, he would stop to look at the doors, and then resume his pacing again. Inuyasha was watching football on the overhead television, and the rest pf the people were zonked out on the sofa. Suddenly, the door opened. Sesshoumaru stopped abruptly and cast his eyes on the door. The doctor walked out with a smile on his face.

"The operation was successful." he said, relieved, "the patients are both sleeping right now. Please wait for the nurses to restore them to their rooms before you meet them. They went through a lot today, and they need rest."

Sesshoumaru let out a sigh that he had been holding for a very long time, and nodded silently at the doctor.


The next morning...

Something was tickling her eyes. It felt warm and radiant. Kagome tried to brush it away, but it remained. She groaned and turned over to the other side, wincing, as she put pressure on her right arm. Kagome slowly opened her eyes to the bright yellow sunlight shining through the windows. The birds were chirping merrily outside. The sunlight was really bothering Kagome's eyes, so she pulled the covers over her head with her left arm.

"Mmm...not a morning person, are we?" a cold voice said lazily.

Kagome eyes shot open as she threw off the covers, and sat up. She winced slightly at the pain that shot up her back when she sat up. Her eyes widened even more when she saw who had made the comment.

"K-K-Kikyou?!" she sputtered.

Kikyou was already sitting upright in her bed with a cast over her right arm and a bandage on her forehead.

"Very good, Kagome. You remember me...not that it would matter of course." Kikyou said, with a voice full of ice cold venom filled with pure distaste.

In her free hand, was a gleaming knife.

"Die, Kagome."
