"Faded Memories"

Chapter 2:

Illusions

"Inuyasha? Can I ask you something?" Kagome asked.

It was a arm sunny day in feudal Japan. Birds were singing, wild flowers grew almost everywhere, and Inuyasha, was lying next to her by the cool water brook.

"Sure," Inuyasha sighed, "What is it?"

"Do you…ever think about her. I mean, Kikyo? More then me?" she asked quietly.

"KAGOME! How many times did I tell you?? I don't love her. Not the way I do with you. She's the past, and you're my present and future, got that?" replied Inuyasha as he held Kagome tighter towards to his body.

Kagome smiled. I love you…Inuyasha…forever……

~_^

"See ya later you guys!" Kagome waved good bye to his good friends, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and her love, Inuyasha.

"Come back soon, Kagome!" Shippo cried.

"I will!" Kagome replied as she jumped down the well. Ahhh…finally! Home, Sweet Home.

As Kagome climbed out of the well, a boy was waiting for her. I was Takafumi.

"Takafumi! What are you doing here?" Kagome asked as she pushed herself to get out of the well.

"Oh…nothing… just waiting for you. Hey! Kagome, want to come and play with me at the playground? You could push me on the swings!" he smiled.

"SURE! I would love to! It will be fun!" Kagome smiled.

"Yippee! Come on Kagome! Let's race! Whoever is last to the playground…then they have to…uh…uh…"but before Takafumi could finish his sentence, Kagome ran out the door as quick as she can.

"Hey! That's not fair! I wasn't ready!!" Takafumi cried.

"Too bad!" Kagome sang as she stuck her tongue out to Takafumi.

When Kagome finally arrived to the playground, Takafumi had already arrived first.

"HEY! How'd you get here so quick?" Kagome asked.

"The shortcut," Takafumi replied with the biggest smile. "Come one, Kagome, push me!"

"Ha! Okay!!" Kagome cheered as she started to push Takafumi. "Takafumi?"

"Yeah?"

"Did you know you remind me a lot to my little brother, Souta."

"Really? Kagome?" Takafumi stared down the ground, "Can you be my sister? I don't have a family."

Kagome smiled and hugged Takafumi as tight as she could "That is soo sad. I will be happy to be your sister."

Takafumi smiled 'Thanks Kagome."

"No prob," Kagome replied as she smiled. As they stood alone and stared at each other quietly, their silence was interrupted by a voice.

"Kagome? What are you doing?"

Kagome looked to see who it was. It was Inuyasha, standing there with a book in his hand.

"Inuyasha?? What are you doing here?" Kagome asked.

"You forgot this. I think it's your 'study'?" Inuyasha replied as he handed the book to Kagome.

"Oh, thanks Inuyasha!"

"Umm…Kagome…who were you talking to?" Inuyasha asked.

"Oh…I was talking to Takafumi! Say 'hi' to Takafumi, Inuyasha," Kagome cried cheerfully, as she pointed at the swing where Kagome believed Takafumi was sitting.

"Kagome…nobody's sitting on the swing," he replied.

"YEAH THERE IS! Takafumi is right there! Right, Takafumi?" Kagome wondered. As Kagome looked at the swing, there Takafumi sat, quietly on the swing.

"Kagome? See! I told you! People tend to ignore me. Like I'm not here! That's why I have no family, Kagome," Takafumi cried. And soon, Takafumi started to cry. He just sat on the swings, crying.

"Inuyasha, YOU BAKA! Look what you did! YOU MADE TAKAFUMI CRY!! Oh…there, there, Takafumi, don't cry," comforted Kagome.

But Inuyasha, just stood there astonished. What the hell is going on?? Kagome… what us happening to you?

"Kagome…I think I should take you home," said Inuyasha sternly, but gentle.

"NO! I am soo mad at you , Inuyasha! How COULD YOU NOT SEE THIS LITTLE BOY?? CRYING, FOR PETE'S SAKE!!" Kagome yelled as she started to stomp her foot wildly.

"Kagome…come on. I am taking you home. NOW!" yelled Inuyasha as he grabbed her hands.

"NO! YOU GET AWAY FROM ME!" cried Kagome. "Takafumi! GO GET HELP!!"

"KAGOME! LISTEN TO ME!" Inuyasha yelled, "THERE IS NO ONE HERE EXCEPT YOU AND ME! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?? THERE IS NOBODY ELSE!"

Kagome stopped, and soon started to cry. "Inuyasha…HE needs me. Takafumi…needs me…"

"Ka…gome…" Inuyasha took Kagome in his arms as Kagome wept. "Kagome…I'm gonna take you home…okay?"

"Fine……" Kagome whispered. She look to see where Takafumi was, but he was gone. She saw the playground disappearing through her eyes, as Inuyasha jumped through the air, taking Kagome in his arms. What's wrong with you , Kagome….what's wrong……

~_^

As Inuyasha finally brought Kagome back to her home, Inuyasha decided to tell Kagome's mother of what had happened.

When Inuyasha held Kagome in his arms, he saw that she had fallen asleep. He approached in front of the door of Kagome's house and knocked on it a few times.

Kagome's mother finally answered the door.

"Inuyasha…what…IS KAGOME ALRIGHT?" the mother asked with concern.

"Yes. She's just sleeping. Umm…can I take her to her bedroom to put her down on her bed?" He asked.

"YES. Of course. Bring her in." she replied. As Inuyasha walked in, he walked towards the stairs and started to take Kagome up to her room.

As he gently started to put her down, he couldn't help but look at her. She was beautiful. Her hair was streaming down her shoulders as she slept. Her face was pale in the moonlight. Her lips looked soft and was a color of light pink. Inuyasha started to go towards her lips, and gently kissed her. Good night, Kagome…

When Inuyasha left the room, he had to talk to Kagome's mother about Kagome's behavior.

"Inuyasha? Are you going to stay for the night?" Kagome's mother asked as Inuyasha entered the living room.

"Umm…no. But I need to tell you something about Kagome." said Inuyasha. He didn't want to tell, for he felt he was stabbing her in the back. He didn't want to talk about Kagome, especially her mother about Kagome. But he knew he had to, he was concerned about her.

"I think something is wrong with Kagome. She keeps on talking about Takafumi like he was there. But no one was…and…and---" Inuyasha was interrupted.

"Oh…NO! NOT, NOT, NOT…again! I thought it was all over. I knew it! How could I have been so blind!!" Kagome's mother cried.

"Huh? What's wrong? Tell me. I need to know…" Inuyasha whispered softly as he bowed his down slowly.

"Inuyasha….Kagome is sick. She has an illness….that's all," Kagome's mother treid to explain.

"She's sick?? Well, she could be cured, right??" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"NO…Inuyasha, it's not THAT kind of sickness. IT'S mostly her mind that is sick….do you understand?"

Inuyasha still didn't understand. He looked at her with a puzzled look.

"Inuyasha, Kagome has a disease that cannot be cured. She sees things…that aren't there. She had this illness five years ago. And soon, I had to give her these…pills that made her….slow. But ever since she met you…she started to act normal again. So I stopped giving her pills. But I guess…it has come back. I must take her to the doctors tomorrow. I guess she is going to be on the pill again. Or even worse…" Kagome's mother started to cry. She started to weep with such sadness that it made Inuyasha feel like HE wanted to cry himself.

"Is, is, is, is there anything I can do? For Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.

"No. There isn't. And I think Kagome will not be able to do anymore TIME TRAVLEING anymore. But you could visit her, anytime you want. Okay?"

Inuyasha couldn't believe it. Kagome wasn't going to be able to visit him OR Miroku, Sango, or Shippo, anymore. HE had to tell the whole gang about Kagome's health and the problem.

"Can I spend the night? I want to be with her when she goes to the doctor's."

Kagome's mother nodded and started to prepare a place for Inuyasha to sleep.

Kagome…I love you….I'll do whatever I can to help you and be there for you…..
