You're all gonna be mad at me now ^_^ Just read and see. Oh, and Himemaster pointed out something that is totally right. I really messed up. In the chapter, 'Ramen Anyone?' Inuyasha's sleeve can't catch on fire since it's that fire rat stuff. I totally forgot about that. My apologies about the mistake. I can't really fix it though without getting rid of the chapter entirely.

Disclaimer-I do not own the Inuyasha characters. If I did, Kikyo would die a thousand agonizingly painful deaths and then burn in the underworld for eternity, like she's supposed to.

Do You Remember Me?

Chapter VI

Pausing in her potato peeling, she glanced up at him questioningly. "Who's Kikyo?"

Inuyasha sweatdropped and flushed. "Uhh…"

"Oh! The priestess that pinned you to the tree, right? You loved her? Wow, that's so romantic," Kagome said, sighing dreamily.

Sango bolted up in surprise and knocked Inuyasha on the head with the pot in her hands. "Really, Inuyasha? You don't? Are you sure?"

Inuyasha fell over onto his side, his eyes looking slightly swirly.

"Oh, I'm sorry Inuyasha!" Sango cried, digging through Kagome's bag and pulling out the First Aid kit. Then she handed it to Kagome.

"What do I do with this?" Kagome asked, taking the kit.

"You know, treat his injuries," Sango told her.

"But I don't know how."

"Well usually, you'd just spray this stuff on him," Sango said, pulling out a can.

"Alright," Kagome said, pulling off the top of the can and spraying Inuyasha's head. "There," she exclaimed, proud of her work. Then she felt his hair to find that it was sticky. "Is it supposed to be sticky like this Sango?" Kagome asked, taking a lock of his hair into her hands. The hair was getting hard. "Sango! Something's wrong! The hair is getting hard!"

"Oh…Maybe it was this stuff…" Sango murmured, holding up a can of antiseptic. "I think that's the stuff you used to put in your hair, Kagome…"

" 'Home?' What for?" Inuyasha demanded the next morning after Kagome suggested that she visit her home.

"Well, you know. I figured that if I went home, it might make me remember everything. We've tried everything else," Kagome told him. "And it would only be for a little while. I probably wouldn't even need a whole day."

"I think it's a very good idea, actually," Miroku put in, and Inuyasha glared at him. "It might somehow trigger her memory."

Inuyasha was about to say no when he remembered he was supposed to be trying to be nicer and then nodded.

"But…would one of you…you know, come with me?" Kagome asked shyly. "I don't think I could handle going home and not remembering anything by myself."

"Inuyasha's the only person besides you who can go to your time through the well," Sango told her.

They all looked over at Inuyasha hopefully. "Fine, I'll come with you."

Kagome grinned and threw her arms around his neck. "Thank you!"

Inuyasha flushed bright scarlet and patted her back awkwardly.

"This is the time when you say 'you're welcome,' Inuyasha," Miroku hinted subtly.

Inuyasha mumbled something and Miroku guessed that it was a 'you're welcome' though he couldn't be too sure. 

Soon, Kagome was on Inuyasha's back and he was running through the forest, heading for the Bone Eater's well. Kagome lowered her head and rested it on his back so that she wasn't being hit in the face with the branches anymore. Inuyasha set her down and she saw that they were in front of the well.

Walking to the well, she looked down into it. Then she sat on the rim of the dry well, swinging her legs around so they were dangling down into the well. Inuyasha jumped up onto the rim and, after Inuyasha jumped in, Kagome followed. Purple light surrounded her and she felt a brief sensation of floating before she felt solid ground beneath her feet.

She looked around her to see the walls of the well. Then she noticed that Inuyasha was gone. Had he already climbed out of the well? Figuring that he had, Kagome climbed up the side of the well, pulling herself up over the rim. Looking up and expecting to see a house or something, she gasped as she saw that she was in a clearing. It looked so much like the one she had just come from. Kagome took a closer look around and realized it was the clearing she had just been in. Why hadn't the well taken her to her home? And where was Inuyasha? Kagome caught a flash of purple light out of the corner of her eye and looked down to see Inuyasha at the bottom of the well.

"Did you chicken out or something?" he demanded irritably.

"No, I just saw purple light and then you were gone. The well didn't take me home. Why?" Kagome asked.

"The well has to take you home," Inuyasha insisted stubbornly, jumping up out of the well. They tried to jump into the well once more, and again, only Inuyasha left.

"I don't get it…" Inuyasha muttered. The well always took her home. There never was a time when it couldn't except when she didn't have a jewel shard but she had jewel shards now.

"Well, if I…can't get through to my home, could you please go tell my family what happened so they don't worry about me?" Kagome asked.

Inuyasha glanced up at her and nodded, jumping back down into the well.

After he had gone, Kagome sat down in the cool grass, her back pressed against the side of the well and hugging her knees to her chest. It was gone. Their last chance to help her memory return was gone. 'I might never remember anything…' Kagome thought to herself sadly. But she wanted to remember. Her friends seemed so sad that she couldn't remember them and she didn't want to make them sad. It seemed as though before Kagome had lost her memory, they had been such good friends but that was different now because Kagome sometimes couldn't even remember their names. 'And I might never even remember me,' Kagome thought sadly. She might never again remember who she was. 'What would that be like? Not remembering who I am?' Kagome wondered. What would it be like to live the rest of her life not knowing what had happened or who she had been or who she had known for the first part of her life? And what if the well never worked for her again? She'd die never remembering her family.

She felt tears well in her eyes and she clenched her fists. She was determined to stay strong. She would get her memory back, somehow, she would. 'Never lose faith,' Kagome told herself. But even as she told herself all of this, tears rolled down her cheeks. She closed her eyes and took a long, shuddering breath. She opened her eyes when she felt someone wipe away her tears and found herself gazing into a pair of amber colored eyes.

"Did you tell them?" Kagome asked and Inuyasha nodded. Then he reached into a fold of his haori and pulled out a small rabbit stuffed animal.

"Your little brother wanted me to give you this," Inuyasha said, handing it to her.  

 Kagome sighed, taking the small rabbit. "My own brother…I don't even remember my own brother's name…" Kagome murmured, tears welling in her eyes again. "Don't remember how old he is…Don't remember what he looks like…And now I can't see them either. What if…what if my memory never comes back and I can never get through the well again? I'll never remember my family. I'll never see them again…I won't know what they look like…And I'm just getting in your guys' way. I don't remember you guys and it hurts you, I know it does."

"Your memory will come back," Inuyasha assured her awkwardly. He wasn't the best person to be having this kind of conversation with, considering he had never had to comfort anyone before and wasn't exactly sure of how to go about it.

"You don't know that!" Kagome insisted forcefully. "You don't know that! It could never come back! Seeing my family again was my last hope. That was my last idea to get my memory back. I figured that would help my memory return but I can't even try it because of the damn well! That's it! It's not coming back. I'll never remember you, I'll never remember the others, I'll never remember what happened before I woke up in the well, I'll never remember my family, and I'll never remember me…" Kagome cried, the words becoming harder and harder to say as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"You still have time stupid. Just because you can't see your family doesn't mean it still won't come back eventually. Feh, women…" Inuyasha muttered, crossing his arms. "Don't think, just cry, what a motto…feh!"

Kagome looked up at him in disbelief. What was his problem anyway?! Then she grinned, noticing him shifting from foot to foot uncomfortably. "You're not very good at this, huh?"

"Feh…" Inuyasha muttered, shifting his gaze uncomfortably.

"Here, I'll teach you. Come here," Kagome requested and Inuyasha hesitated a moment before obeying. "Now, first you gotta put your arms around me," Kagome said and when he did nothing and just sat there, avoiding her eyes as he blushed, she moved his arms around her. "Now you say, 'don't worry, everything will be okay.'"

"Feh…I'm not saying anything," Inuyasha muttered, still blushing furiously.

Kagome patted his shoulder. "That's okay, I know you're thinking it."

They sat like that for a few moments before Inuyasha glanced down at her to see that she was asleep.

"Don't worry, everything will be okay, Kagome…" Inuyasha whispered quietly.

A/N-Heh heh…Poor Inuyasha…The Fates are against him. He finally works up some nerve to tell her and he gets hit on the head with a pot and intoxicated with hair spray…Well, you didn't think Kagome and Inuyasha were gonna get together that easily did you? Anywho review! Wow, that rhymes…
