MEMORIES OF THE FORGOTTEN
Hello minna!! EEP!! ::dodges rotten tomatoes:: I KNOW!! I KNOW!! I haven't updated for a long time, and part of that was because my stupid computer ::kick:: GR!! Anyway, as I was saying, my stupid computer screwed up...erasing all my documents!! And then I got like really mad, so I punched the bathroom wall...and left a dent in it =)!! HEHEZ I'm such tomboy!! =P anyway, please enjoy this chapter!! Arigato!! Oh, and...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
IS YOU...
"Hello? Hello?? Is there anyone there??" the man asked urgently.
"Yeah...yeah I'm here..." Inuyasha replied weakly.
"Alright...so if you want to make any visiting arrangements for Kobayashi Kikyou in the Fujiwara Mental Institute, just call this number! Thank you and good luck!" the man informed him.
"Yeah...bye..." Inuyasha said quietly, as he hung up the phone, and put his head into his hands.
Kikyou was now a patient of a mental hospital. His first love...but not a successful one. Maybe going over to Miroku's would cheer him up a bit. Inuyasha groaned and picked up his jacket on his way to the door. He shut the door with a loud slam behind him. Inuyasha let out the deep breath that he had been holding all along. Why was he this nervous? He didn't feel anything for Kikyou anymore. Kagome was the one who he really loved. The hanyou made his first step towards his perverted neighbour's house. He turned his gaze to the frosted windows of Miroku's house, and made out the outline of a dark evergreen blur decorated with many different coloured bulbs (supposedly a Christmas tree -__-;;). The light from his house was shining out to Inuyasha...calling him...beckoning...like how Kikyou beckoned him to her at the night of the carnival...NO...Inuyasha shook his snow-covered head, and walked slowly to the front gate of the wannabe monk's house. There were a lot of figures laughing inside the warm illuminated house. Now and then, the figures would move.
SLAP
"HENTAI!!!!"
That jerked Inuyasha out of his thoughts, as he heard that all too familiar slap and scream. 'Miroku, Miroku...' he thought, 'what perversion have you been up to now?' he smirked and started his way up the threshold steps to his friend's front door.
DING DONG
"HEY, GUYS!!" Miroku yelled, rubbing his red hand-printed cheek, "INU IS HERE!!"
"Well, then let him in!!" Sango said fiercely, glaring at him.
"Yeow...dear Sango, I never knew that you had it in you..." Miroku grinned stupidly at her, as he swung the door open to let his friend in.
"INU!! Welcome!! Step right in!!" Miroku greeted, and ushered him into the house like how a mother would.
"Heh. What did you do to her? I heard her scream and a fearsome slap..." Inuyasha smirked at the reddening face of Sango.
"The usual, Inuyasha...the usua-HENTAI!!"
SLAP
THUD
"You never learn, do you?" Inuyasha shook his head, as he watched Miroku's victim walk back indignantly to the living room.
"Ow...what is it with me and my curse with touching women?" Miroku said, as he picked himself up from the ground.
The two friends then followed Sango to the living room where they were greeted by Kouga, Hiten, and Tsuki.
"HEYYYYY, INUUUUU!! WUTZUP?" Hiten grinned and slapped Inuyasha on the back in a friendly gesture.
"Dog-turd..." Kouga nodded brusquely.
"Wimpy wolf..." Inuyasha shot back.
The two arch nemeses stared at each other heatedly.
"Err...Inuyasha?" Sango waved her hand in front of the dog boy's face, "err...well, if you're listening...Tsuki and I found something that Kagome would probably like..."
As if it were magic, Inuyasha quickly snapped his gaze off Kouga's growling face, and appeared mysteriously beside the girls and their magazine in a split second. The girls sweat dropped and showed Inuyasha their ideas.
"Oh!!! Inuyasha...you HAFTA get her THIS..." Sango pointed to a picture that looked like a piece of scrappy clothing of some sort.
"Eh?" he scratched his head, and turned the magazine around, trying to figure out what the picture was, "what's this? It looks like a little skimpy bandana...with a picture of a monkey on it..."
"Inuyasha!! It's a PAUL FRANK THONG!!! KAG LOVES PAUL FRANK!! It's only thirty-five bucks for six of them!! What a deal!! Get her these! She'll love you to death, man!!" Tsuki gushed, waving the magazine in front of his face.
"A-a thong?? Wh-what? Are you insane???? She might think that...that I'm playing some kind of perversion on her!!" Inuyasha said red facedly, pointing his claws at the skimpy little under piece.
"Or...you could get her a Paul Frank sweater...only sixty bucks..." Sango said, looking at the catalogue.
"What's with Paul Frank?" Inuyasha grumbled, taking the catalogue and looking at the other Paul Frank merchandise.
"No, no, no!!" Sango snapped her fingers, "okay...I got this...everyone pitch in ten bucks to get her this limited edition Frank Paul sweater okay?"
"Err...Sango...I want to get her something else...to be different...you know..." Inuyasha fumbled with his words, looking at the ground.
Sango looked at him with sincere and forgiving eyes.
"Of course, Inuyasha...anything you want..." Sango said gently, turning back to the other page of the catalogue and cleared her voice, "So...um...everyone pitch in twelve bucks okay?"
The rest of the gang grumbled and nodded, as they pulled out the money from their wallets. Sango counted the amount and smiled happily.
"We have enough guys!!" she said cheerfully, brandishing the wad of bills in her hand.
Inuyasha just sat by the window seat and stared outside at the brightly coloured icicle lights that hung outside the window. He then flickered his gaze upon the decorated tree through another neighbour's window. He then fixed his eyes upon the crystal angel ornament holding a heart, which was hung up on the tree. 'An angel...' he thought, 'just like Kagome...' he then spotted a few kids running around inside the house...in hot pursuit of a raging mother.
"No running indoors, children!!" she scolded, shaking her broom at them, accidentally knocking over the crystal ornament from its perch with the broom handle.
The delicate crystal embellishment fell to the floor with a crash, spraying the shards around.
"Oh!!" the mother put a hand to her mouth in horror at what she had done.
"WAHHHHHHHHHH!!! You broke her!! You broke angel!! You broke her heart too!!" the children cried.
The mother then slowly bent down to examine the broken shards as soon as the children were gone. Sadness shone in her eyes because the ornament had been a glorious gift from her husband before he went off to his duty of being a police officer...unfortunately, he wasn't there with her anymore. He died from a gang shootout the night he had given her that precious gem. She then gathered up the shards, and put then carefully in the folds of her apron, cherishing the memories of her dead loved one.
However, the children's words were replaying like a broken record in Inuyasha's mind, "you broke her!! You broke angel!! You broke her heart too!!" Inuyasha looked downcast, and laid his head down in his hands, 'oh, Gods...' he thought, 'I broke her...I broke my angel...I broke her heart...I broke...you, Kagome...'
"Err...Inuyasha...you alright, there?" Miroku asked, concerned, "you haven't said a thing..."
"Wuh? Oh, yeah...I'm fine...yeah...err...gottuh go now...mom probably wants me to do something for her...yeah...so, later guys..." Inuyasha muttered, slipping on his jacket.
"Alright then...see yah later, Inu..." Miroku called, as he closed the door.
The cold wind stung the hanyou's eyes, as he walked back to his own home. The words kept repeating over and over again in his head, "you broke her! You broke angel!! You broke her heart too!" Inuyasha jammed his hands into his coat pocket to avoid the cold burning his hands. He felt something crisp and papery. He pulled it out. It was a fifty-dollar bill...where did he get that? Inuyasha just stared at it dumbly, before deciding what to do with it. He then ran to the nearest store (not telling you what kind though ^__^), and went in.
"Ah, hello therrrrrre, my deearrrrrr. You do look like you need some help, no?" a middle-aged lady with a delightful French accent welcomed him into the store, rolling her R's as she spoke.
"Err...hello..." Inuyasha replied awkwardly.
"What are you lookeeng forrrrr? Sometheeng forrrr your petite amie?" she then winked at him.
"Err...yes...I am...well...kind of..." he said sheepishly.
"Bien, so...what would you like to say to 'er?" she asked kindly.
"Err...well...I wanna say that...I'm sorry...and...err...well...I hope that she would give me err... another chance...with her..." he said, blushing very deeply.
"Ah...je sais...we 'ave reengs and neckleecees forrrrrr zat occasion too!" she said, pulling out a silver tray from the display shelf, and putting it on the glass table.
Inuyasha took a look at all of the rings, but none of them he liked. So, the lady pulled out another tray containing necklaces.
"Hmm...I theenk zat zees neckleece suits what you arrrre tryeeng to say...it is a picture of an angel holding a heart...beautiful, no? I remember years back when a young customer walked in and purchased a fine beautiful ornament forrr hees wife...just like zees one...a tragedy tho...ze next day I saw hees face again on ze television...he had sadly past away dureeng a gang shootout...those preposterous men!!" the lady then said, shaking her fist.
"I see...uh...I'll take this one...it's perfect..." Inuyasha nodded and confirmed the price with the saleslady.
"Bonne chance, monsieur!! And Joyeux Noel!!" she called after him.
Inuyasha nodded gratefully, and ran to the hospital quickly. He knew that he had broken Kagome once, but Inuyasha hoped that he would mend her with this gift. 'I think I'm starting to fall in love with you head over heels all over again, Kagome...'
HEHE!! Well? How was that? Was it too corny? Cheesy? What? Give me your opinion...I stayed up until like two finishing up this chapter and now...my eyes hurt...X___X...anyway, review, review, and review!! Arigato!! Bye!!
