MEMORIES OF THE FORGOTTEN
Hey minna!! Hehe okay I'm going to let this out straight!! I know it HAS been a bit confusing with the Kikyou + Inuyasha and then the Kagome + Inuyasha parts, but just to let you all in on a secret...yes, this IS going to be a INU/KAG and SESS/RIN fic for ALL you AMAZING reviewers out there!! Reading your reviews REALLY brighten up my day, you should see me now! Haha I'm like *smiley* HAHA!! My cheeks kind of hurt now...must stop smiling so wide...ARGH! When I read a review about the French accent thing from that saleslady in the previous chapter...I was laughing like there was no tomorrow!! Haha anyway, don't worry people...KIKYOU IS HISTORY!! Haha sorry for all you Kikyou fans out there, but I'm a Kagome fan!! I really don't like Kikyou at all, like the majority!! Hehe!! Anyway, thank you for ALL your reviews!! I read them and loved them!! ARIGATO!!! *MWAH* IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER!!!
"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...'
MENDED ANGEL
"Drat...nothing to do...what a bummer..." Kagome sighed, as she stared out the window.
"Well...we could play a game of truth or dare..." Rin suggested.
"Hey!! Great idea, Rin-chan!!" Kagome brightened up.
"Okay...I get to ask you first though!!" Rin said.
"Oh, alright!" Kagome replied, taking a seat in Rin's comfy bed.
"So...truth or dare?" Rin asked.
"Truth..."
"Okay...umm...have you...done it with...you know...Sesshoumaru?" Rin asked slyly and laughed when Kagome blushed a cherry red.
"O-of course not!!" she replied, feeling blustered.
"Haha, okay. My turn!" Rin laughed.
"Alright...truth or dare?"
"...truth..."
"Okay, who do you think is hot?"
"..." Rin paused, she couldn't say Sesshoumaru because Kagome would then think that she was onto him or something.
"C'mon, Rin-chan!! You can tell me!! Haha!! I promise I won't tell a single soul!" Kagome coaxed.
"Erm...no...one..." she replied timidly.
"You sure??" Kagome teased.
"Y-yes..." Rin stammered, a slight blush creeping to her cheeks.
"Okay, if you say so!! But if you DO think that someone is hot...don't be afraid to tell me so!!" Kagome sang in a song voice.
"Uh-okay...truth or dare?" Rin asked again.
"Truth!!"
"Okay...erm...who do you love? Sesshoumaru or Inuyasha?" Rin asked slowly, waiting for the horrible answer.
"...I...don't know...I think that...I'm...still...in love...with...Inu...yasha...it's just that...Sesshoumaru is not really my...type I guess...he's just...too serious? I mean...he can be really gentle...but like...Inuyasha makes me laugh...I miss those old days..." Kagome said quietly, sighing.
Rin was silent for a moment. Was she supposed to cry? Laugh? Curse? What?
"Well..." Rin started, "to tell you the truth...I think that...I kind of like...Sesshoumaru-sorry!" she then quickly blurted out after.
"Ne, Rin-chan? You like...Sesshoumaru...I-I see...umm...how long since you discovered that you had a crush...on him?" Kagome looked sharply at Rin.
"Since...s-since...I first met him..." Rin barely whispered in reply.
"Oh!" Kagome put a hand to her mouth, "you had your eyes on him for a whole week?! You?!?! Rin!! He was my boyfriend!! Or maybe my future fiancé!!"
"I-I know, Kagome-chan!! Don't get me wrong here!! It's just that...he really...interests me...he's mysterious...I kind of like him...because of that...otherwise...his ass is pretty fine..."
"Rin!!" Kagome gasped.
"Gomen! Gomen!! I know!! I know!! I shouldn't have said that!! Gomen!!" Rin ducked her head in apology.
"It's alright..." Kagome sighed, "well...I have this little feeling that Sesshoumaru does NOT like me anymore...and...my feelings for Inuyasha...haven't changed...I've also...felt a little something for him now and then...maybe Sesshoumaru wasn't mine to begin with...we weren't...meant to be...it was just that...he understood me...and I understood him...now that Kikyou's gone...things have been very confusing...what should I do Rin? Should I tell Sesshoumaru the truth? what...what should I do!?!?" Kagome said frustrated, and broke down into silent sobs.
"Sh...Kagome-chan...don't worry! Everything's going to be alright! You'll see! However, that decision of yours is for you to make, not mine...you understand?" Rin rubbed her friends back, comfortingly.
"Thank *hic* you Rin-chan!! You have been *hic* a great friend to *hic* me!!" Kagome said happily, and hugged her.
* * *
'What should I say to her?' Sesshoumaru wondered, as the elevator doors closed. He fiddled with his car keys, as he waited for the elevator to take him up to Kagome...and Rin. What should he say to Kagome? That their relationship was great, but they probably weren't meant for each other because he had fallen for Rin? What would happen to the relationship between Rin and Kagome? Would it fall apart? Sesshoumaru was very worried and felt sick to the stomach, which was not his nature. As he heard the elevator bell ring, he stepped out of the elevator, and walked to Kagome's room like a robot. He was so nervous and stiff. 'Well, here it is...' he thought, as he rapped his fist on the door. The giggles ceased, as someone came to open the door.
"S-Sesshoumaru?!" Kagome gasped, and opened the door wider to let him in.
"Kagome...Rin..." he said uncomfortably.
"Sesshoumaru..." Rin whispered, nodding her head.
"So...Sesshoumaru...what are you...here for?" Kagome asked politely.
"Actually...Kagome...I came here to..." Sesshoumaru started, piercing his eyes on the fragile girl standing before him.
"You came here to..." Kagome started, and trailed off, waiting for him to finish his sentence.
'Well...I came here to break it up with her...I'm not coming all this way to the hospital just to chicken out...nope, not I, Sesshoumaru...well...here goes nothing...' Sesshoumaru took a deep breath.
"Kagome, I came here to...break up...I mean...we've had some great times together...but I think that you...belong to Inuyasha...more than...me...I hope you understand..." Sesshoumaru said in a firm but soft masculine voice.
Kagome and Rin just stared at him for a minute and blinked twice at what he just said.
"Gomen Kagome...for any trouble this may cause in the future..." he continued after hearing no response from her.
Kagome still just continued to blink. 'Nani?' she thought, 'what a sad coincidence...'
"Kagome..." he said again, waving a hand slowly over her face, "can you hear me?"
"Yeah..." Kagome said softly, "I can..."
"Listen...I'm...sorry-"Sesshoumaru then repeated again, but was cut off by Kagome.
"-funny thing...Rin and I were just talking about this...and I decided that we should...cool it for a while too..." Kagome spoke in that hushed tone again, "well, I guess that this is...it...we go our...separate ways from here then...it was nice knowing you, Sesshoumaru...remember the library...heh, who knew that times like those would bring use closer together, ne?"
Sesshoumaru nodded once and proceeded to hug Kagome one more time.
BANG
The door slammed open, revealing Inuyasha huffing and puffing. He froze when he saw Kagome in his older brother's embrace. 'I don't give a shit!' he sniffed, 'I'm going to tell her that I'm sorry even if she doesn't love me back!!' he declared in his mind.
"Kagome," he muttered, looking down at the floor, "I need to...talk to you for a sec..."
* * *
"So...erm...why did you...break up...with...Kagome-chan?" Rin asked timidly, "not to be nosey or anything, but...why?"
"Because...I felt that my younger brother needed her more than I did...and the fact...that I didn't love her as much as I did before...currently...I have my eyes on someone else..."
"Oh..." Rin blinked, "who? Gomen, again...I like asking questions..."
"Haha," Sesshoumaru chuckled, "in fact...the person I love...is in fact the person of whom I am staring at right now..."
"M-me?" Rin asked, jumping for joy inside her heart, "Sesshoumaru...I...love you...too..."
"I'm very glad to hear it." He replied, bending down to capture her lips with his.
Rin smiled as she responded. 'My wish came true...' she thought happily, as the two lovers held each other close, daring never to let go of what was yet to come in the future.
* * *
"Okay...bye...Sesshoumaru...good luck..." she whispered to him, and then followed Inuyasha out of the room.
On the way out, Inuyasha grabbed her coat and her boots. Dressing her himself.
"Uh...Inuyasha! What are you doing?!" Kagome gasped, when he slipped her jacket over her hospital gown (don't worry, folks, Kagome is still wearing a t-shirt and pants inside her gown thing).
"Put on your boots." He commanded her gently.
"Uh...okay..." she did as she was told, slipping her tiny feet into her furry white boots, as she tucked her jeans into her boots as well.
"This way..." he said briskly, taking her hand, and leading her back to the Goshinboku tree at their old school...where they had first met...
"Inuyasha..." she said curiously, "what are you planning?"
"Kagome..." he said, ignoring her question, "do you remember what kind of miracle happened at this tree?"
"Y-yes...it was the first time...we...kissed..." Kagome whispered, recalling the fond memory.
"Yes...that was also the day I met an angel..." he told her, "an angel of whom I would never forget...do you know who that angel is...Kagome?"
"N...no...I-I don't..." she sighed, trying not to let her emotions get the best of her.
"That angel...was you, Kagome...you..." he murmured, taking out a pendant box.
"I-Inuyasha..." she spoke softly.
"I broke that angel too...and...I was wondering...maybe this would mend her...broken...wings?" he scratched his head at that statement, wondering if it sounded too cheesy, as he opened the box, revealing that angel necklace he had gotten her at the store.
"Oh...Inuyasha...it's...beautiful..." she gasped lightly, eyes watering, as that soft smile touched her angelic face.
"Kagome...I know this is a lot to ask you...but...will you ever give me another chance at this?" Inuyasha looked at her pleadingly with his amber eyes.
"...yes..." she barely whispered loud enough for them both to hear.
"Arigato, Kagome..." Inuyasha smiled this time, and silently thanked the French saleslady who helped him with this "speech".
Most importantly, he silently thanked the heavens as the couple embraced in the soft snowfall. Once again reunited...
