" You can wake up now.", a voice whispered next to her ear. She sat
up slowly blinking her eyes several times. " I am glad to see that you're
finally awake. I was beginning to worry about you.", the voice whispered
again. She turned her head slightly to her left, trying to see who was
speaking to her. There was, sitting just inches away from her, a strange
green haired boy. He seemed vaguely familiar. She closed her eyes in an
effort to remember his name. A horrible wave of panic and fear descended
upon her when she realized that not only could she not remember his name,
she couldn't remember her name as well.
" Who am I?", she wondered out loud. The boy laughed and said, " That must have been some bump on the head you got, Kagome, if you can't even remember your name." " Kagome? Is that my name?", she thought to herself. Suddenly unsure about everything, she launched herself into the arms of the boy beside her. " I don't remember anything. Not my name, not anything. I don't even know who you are, and I'm hanging all over you.", she cried softly. " I don't mind, Kagome. I don't mind it at all.", he murmured patting her back with one hand.
Something about the way he was patting her back made her feel more relaxed. In fact, it was so comforting that she began to feel a little sleepy. " Who are you?", she asked curiously. The boy turned to look at her with captivating golden eyes and said, " Remember me, remember everything, Kagome. I am Kobayashi Yuki." Kagome gasped in recognition before she fell forwards into his lap, seemingly sound asleep. He laid a hand gently on her head, as he leaned over to whisper one last, vital message into her ear.
For the second time that day, Kagome woke up from a dark, deep sort of sleep. She was lying on her bed, with her family standing around her. They all looked extremely worried about something. " What's wrong?", she asked concerned. Upon hearing her, Sota yelled out in shocked excitement, " You're awake! You're awake!" Then he leaped on the bed, tackling her in a giant bear hug.
" It's nothing to get so excited about", she replied, trying unsuccessfully to push Sota off of her. " But you've been asleep for hours and hours.", he responded hugging her even harder. " It's true Kagome. We were quite worried about you.", her mother explained. " Sota, I know you're happy to see your sister, but I think you're making it a bit difficult for her to breath.", said her mother, who was trying very hard not to laugh.
Her brother let go of her and hopped off the bed. Kagome was about to stand up, when she noticed that there was a thin piece of paper stuck to her foot. She pulled it off and held it up in the air. " What's this?", she asked waving the paper around. " That's an ancient family scroll. It's guaranteed to cure any injuries.", her grandpa informed her. " And it worked!!", he hooted as he left the room.
" Kagome, would you like some dinner? I could make oden, if you like.", her mother asked kindly. " Yes, please.", she replied, instantly feeling happier. " Oden must be my favorite food", she thought to herself. Kagome and Sota followed their mother out of the door and down the hall to the kitchen.
Inu Yasha was wandering aimlessly around the woods that surrounded the Bone Eater's Well. " She asked for my help, and I did nothing.", he thought angrily. Other thoughts raced through his mind as rage, guilt, and other such emotions plagued his conscience. " You just stood there, when that bastard took her away.", he berated himself over and over again.
Feelings of guilt and perhaps fear flooded his mind, when he thought about what Yuki might have done to Kagome. It made him feel almost helpless, and he hated feeling that way. " I will find you, Kagome.", he yelled out as an awkward kind of battle cry.
At that moment, a gentle breeze wafted past him playing with his hair as it went. Inu Yasha took in a deep breath, then coughed abruptly. Her scent was in the air and it was strong. " She's back.", he thought to himself, as he raced back to the well.
Kagome leaned over the top of the well and stared down into its dark depths. She felt as though there was something she ought to be doing, and it involved the well. " I must be crazy.", she sighed for the millionth time. Sane people simply did not think about jumping down old wells.
She jumped when she felt a hand touch her arm. Sota had managed to sneak up on her while she was lost in her thoughts. " What do you want?", she asked a little coldly. After all, he had scared her pretty bad. Ignoring her question, he asked, " What are you doing out here?" " Waiting for something.", she said absentmindedly.
" Mom and I were wondering what happened to you today.", he stated, finally revealing his true reason for finding her. " I don't know. I can't remember anything that happened before I woke up this afternoon.", she lied. Kagome had some strange memories of a green haired boy named Yuki, but she didn't want to bother her family with them. " Come on, let's go back to the house. This well is creepy.", said Sota as he pulled her out of the shrine. " Alright.", she agreed and they began to walk towards the house.
Then, without warning, she was enveloped in a red colored hug. Someone had their arms wrapped tightly around her, so that she was practically drowning in a wealth of red material. " Kagome", the person whispered with such feeling that she looked up in surprise.
Her eyes were greeted by such an expression of relief and concern, that she felt a little embarrassed. The boy whose arms were holding her so closely had long silvery white hair, golden eyes, and dog like ears. " His ears are so cute. I want to touch one.", she thought ashamedly.
Kagome wiggled one of her arms out of his grip, so that she could reach the top of his head. She rubbed the tip of his right ear with her fingers. Blushing a little a being so close to this complete stranger, she looked at him apologetically. " I'm sorry, but I seem to have forgotten who you are.", she said softly.
