The Wish to Break All
Chapter 2
"I'm hooome!" Kagome called enthusiastically as she took her shoes off.
"Welcome home, honey." He mother responded as Kagome entered the kitchen. "How was your day?"
"Good..." Kagome answered absently. A few moments of uncomfortable silence passed before Kagome asked, "Mom? Do you know Hojo?" Her mother smiled and nodded, stirring something that suspiciously resembled tea. "He gave me some therapeutic bath beads today, saying how glad he was that I was better." Her mother almost snickered, but caught herself. 'That poor Hojo boy...so naïve.' "Was I sick, Mama?" Kagome asked, creating a serious air about the room and the conversation being held. Her mother, not knowing what to say, simply nodded. Kagome hadn't seen the action and repeated the question.
"Yes, dear. Very sick. But you're better now, maybe for good this time." Ms. Higurashi said, smiling sweetly. She didn't want to tell Kagome the truth. The girl had chosen to forget. Kagome's mother figured it was for a good reason. Kagome smiled and skipped up the stairs to take a shower before doing her homework.
~
Inuyasha jumped down the well. He was glad that it was late. He didn't want the rest of the Higurashi family to notice his presence, especially that Souta kid. The hanyou crept along the roof of the silent, sleeping house toward Kagome's room window. 'I wonder if that bitch'll sit me...' He mused silently, absently running his fingers along the beads of his prayer-bead necklace. She hadn't even taken it off before she'd left. That irked Inuyasha more than her leaving, but he quickly quelled his feelings and thoughts as he silently pushed her window open. He had to remain neutral, had to remain calm. Unfortunately, his resolve melted as his eyes caught her sleeping form. She was so peaceful, so...happy. He frowned. 'Was she happy with me?' He growled at himself, not wanting to answer that question honestly. He stepped toward her, suddenly not wishing to wake her, when her eyes snapped open.
~
Kagome's mind was suddenly ripped from the deep ocean of sleep as a tingling sensation pricked at her spine. 'What?' She snapped her eyes open, afraid that someone--no something--was in her room with her. As her eyes focused, she was utterly surprised to meet the gaze of two, bright amber eyes. She sat up quickly, turning to fully face the--er--what was it? Something told Kagome not to scream as the amber eyes studied her fearfully. It...he seemed harmless, or at least not dangerous.
"Um...who--what are you?" Kagome stuttered out quizzically. Whatever she'd said, it must've surprised the guy, for he moved backward, away from her. That was when something caught the light of the moon. Kagome watched as the dog-like ear twitched nervously against the white hair. To her own astonishment, she suddenly had this irresistible urge to feel the ears. 'This feels like déjà vu.' She realized as she moved forward to feel the stranger's ears.
'Why am I doing this?' She thought as she placed her hands carefully and began rubbing the soft, almost velvety textured ears. The guy didn't move, so she kept at it.
~
Inuyasha's mind reeled. 'So that's what she used the fucking jewel for!' His heart sank. She wanted to forget him. Had she stopped loving him? Had she ever loved him? His mind kept throwing the ideas about his skull; he couldn't stop it. He didn't even really register that Kagome was moving toward him until it was too late. All thoughts fled his mind as Kagome began rubbing his ears. He hated it when people rubbed his ears, especially like that. He tried to fight it. Really, he did. But slowly, bit by bit, he found he was melting under Kagome's gentle touch.
~
What was so familiar about this guy? Kagome wracked her brain for a possible answer, and finally found one. The notebook. What had been written beside that picture? 'Oh, right...Inuyasha.' She figured it couldn't hurt to try.
"Inuyasha?" She asked tentatively.
"Mmhmm...Kagome..." Inuyasha mumbled. Kagome stopped rubbing his ears and backed away from him.
"H-how did...how'd you know my name?" She demanded fearfully. This guy knew her, and she didn't remember him at all.
"I should ask you the same thing." Inuyasha snorted, shaking himself from his stupor. This Inuyasha person was so familiar, Kagome could've sworn she'd known him before, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember. Kagome sat heavily upon her bed, as Inuyasha sat on the floor. "We spent so much damn time together. That fuckin jewel did a good job." Inuyasha complained, more to himself. Kagome heard him, nonetheless, and asked,
"Where do you know me from? Why don't I remember you?" Inuyasha sighed.
"It's a long story." And he began to tell her everything.
~
Inuyasha sighed again inwardly as he told Kagome of Kikyou, of Naraku, and of their friends and other enemies. He purposely left off the bit about 'sit' and its effects. To his surprise, she actually sat through the entire narrative without interrupting him or rolling her eyes. Well, she did roll her eyes once when he'd started ranting about how stupid and pathetic Sesshoumaru was...unfortunately, at the end of his story, she smiled and said, "I don't believe you." Inuyasha just stared at her as if she'd grown three tentacles from her head.
"What do you mean, you don't believe me, dammit?! That's the truth!" Inuyasha growled fiercely. Kagome shrugged.
"It's just so...unbelievable. If there was proof, then, maybe--"
"Alright. I wasn't gonna tell you, but..." Inuyasha interjected hotly. "Say 'sit.'" Kagome cocked her head, puzzled.
"Why?"
"These fuckin beads around my neck slam me into the goddam ground whenever you say it."
"Say what? Sit--?" Before Kagome could finish the question, Inuyasha slammed into the floor face-first. 'Stupid bitch...now she'll enjoy it and do it agai--'
"Sit." Kagome said again, putting more force into it this time, and giggling when Inuyasha smooshed further into the carpeting. "This is fun."
"Yeah, for YOU!" Inuyasha snarled into the floor. He decided that he didn't enjoy the taste of carpet. As the spell wore off, he gradually stood. He could feel Kagome's want to sit him again. "Don't say it again." He warned.
"Um, ok." Kagome agreed. "Can I...um...can I rub your ears again?"
"NO!"
"Why not?"
"You just...can't!" Inuyasha valiantly fought the blush working its way over his face. 'I can't tell her it's cause I enjoy it too much...'
"Oh, I see." Kagome said seriously. "It's cause we had feelings for each other!"
"N-n-no!" Inuyasha sputtered, trying to hide his face, which had been conquered by crimson heat. Kagome giggled again, causing Inuyasha to growl. He wanted to take her back. He wanted her to remember. He wanted HIS Kagome back, the one he'd known for so long. "Get on my back." He said, suddenly making up his mind. He would MAKE her remember. 'If it's the last thing I do...'
