Do You Remember Me?

Chapter X

"Hey uhm, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked tentatively after they had been walking in silence for quite a while, with Sango and Miroku still following behind.

Inuyasha made a grunting noise and Kagome took that as a  "Go on."

"Well, what exactly is the whole…wolf guy situation? I still don't understand," Kagome asked sheepishly. She felt embarrassed about asking about it but she couldn't quite figure out why.

She saw his muscles stiffen. "Meh, ask someone else. It's not really anything for me to be concerned about, know th-" Then he stopped short and felt he could've smacked himself. 'What happened to the being nicer to her plan you moron?!' His mind shouted at him. 'Gods, you're pathetic. Be nicer already!'

"Well…we met him once in a village that…had been attacked by his wolf pack. A-at that time, he realized you could sense jewel shards and he wanted more to attack the buzzard things that were an enemy of his pack. He already had three shards. So…he distracted…the group a-a-and kidnapped you, b-bringing you back to his cave. I-I don't know what happened there, you told me nothing, but somehow he got the idea that…that…"

"I was 'his woman?'" Kagome offered.

"Yeah, that. Since then, he sporadically shows up to cause trouble. He's trying to find Naraku since Naraku slaughter most of his pack." Inuyasha glanced at Kagome sidelong to find her expression pensive. "There? Happy? You know about the wimpy wolf and his stupid antics." 'You are such an idiot…That was supposed to be nice?'

Kagome smiled. She rose on her tiptoes and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Yes, thank you."

Inuyasha flushed and looked away. "Feh, don't expect me to answer all your stupid questions all the time."

"Can I ask you one more?" Kagome requested hopefully.

"Feh. Can't promise an answer," Inuyasha answered, though his heart started beating faster and it was harder to swallow. What would she ask next?

"Where's Shippo?" Kagome asked, looking around for the little kitsune.

Inuyasha sweatdropped. "How the hell should I know?" Then Inuyasha noticed a rock by the side of the dirt road with a tail sticking out. Walking over, Inuyasha stepped on the tail and with an abrupt POP!, Shippo returned to his kitsune form and wailed.

"Inuyasha-a-a-a-a-a!" he cried. "That's my tail!"

"I know it's your tail you little brat," Inuyasha stated, not removing his foot.

"Kagome-e-e-e-e-e-e-e!" Shippo bawled. "Make him stop!"

"Inuyasha, get off his tail please," Kagome said.

Inuyasha crossed his arms stubbornly and scoffed. "It's his fault for trying to eavesdrop on a private conversation."

"Why? What were you gonna say Inuyasha, huh? Something private or not say anything and just going ahead and kissing her huh?" Shippo taunted mischievously.

Inuyasha glared down at him, his cheeks bright red, and dug his foot farther into his tail.

"Wai!" Shippo wailed.

"Come on Inuyasha, he didn't mean it and he was probably eavesdropping because people never tell him anything," Kagome protested.

"Feh!"

Kagome grinned slyly and raised herself up on her tiptoes to kiss him on the cheek again. Jumping in surprise as he flushed to the roots of his long white hair, he took his foot off Shippo's tail and he stepped back in astonishment.

Kneeling down to pick up the affronted fox demon, she smiled at Inuyasha. "Thank you."

Inuyasha grumbled. "Stupid wench…" He continued to grumble unintelligibly as he stomped forward to walk ahead of the group.

"Don't mind him, he's only ever been kissed by a dead person before," Shippo informed Kagome.

Kagome blinked. "Kissed…by a…corpse…?" Kagome asked in shock. "That's rather…err…odd…"

"Yeah, it's really weird. She's a walking dead person though. Some stupid lady resurrected her," Shippo explained, yawning.

"Oh Kikyo!" Kagome exclaimed, remembering the priestess and all she had to do with why Kagome was here in feudal Japan.

Inuyasha glanced over his shoulder suspiciously. "What are you two talking about back there!" he said, demanding more than requesting they tell him.

"Uhm…nothing," Kagome answered, a bit too quickly for him.

"I was just telling her how you've only been kissedbyamhph," Shippo began to explain but Kagome covered his mouth.

"He was just telling me about why I should…you know…watch out for Kikyo, you know?" she said, laughing nervously.

Inuyasha was just about to say something or ask another question when he suddenly sniffed the air. Kagome felt a strange feeling in her stomach as if something were coming.

"I…I think something's coming," Kagome said.

"Must be a jewel shard," Miroku remarked, coming up behind Kagome.

Inuyasha watched the lush green foliage to the left of the road, his eyes narrowed and his hand gripping the hilt of his sword. Just Inuyasha relaxed the grip on the sword, a large praying mantis demon rushed out of the undergrowth. As the demon charged towards them, Inuyasha leapt to the side and Miroku hurried out of its path. Kagome froze and just stood there.

It was one thing to meet demons that looked relatively human like Inuyasha's half brother or that wolf demon and they had turned out to be generally harmless in the end but this demon wouldn't hesitate to kill her, Kagome knew, and this came as a shock to her. Just as the sight of her blood being shed when Inuyasha's half brother had tried to slice her in half, the sight of this enormous, menacing demon rushing towards her brought her crashing down to the reality of her entire situation: this place was dangerous and she was in danger, perhaps even mortal danger.

"Damn it, what do you think you're trying to do?!" Inuyasha demanded as he ran to her and, grabbing her around the waist, jumping out of the demon's way.

"But-but…he-it…was going to kill me," Kagome breathed. "My gods, what kind of a place is this?! What are you doing letting things like that on the loose?!" she demanded of Inuyasha, who looked confused.

"What do you think we're traveling around for?! We're trying to get rid of the biggest demonic threat in order to hopefully get rid of any other demon threats. Get it? See-"

Suddenly Miroku dashed by chanting, "Not the time to explain right now, not the time, not the time, not the time!"

Inuyasha glanced up to pull Kagome to the ground with him as a claw swung above their heads. Picking her up, Inuyasha moved Kagome out of the battlefield of sorts and then ran back towards the praying mantis demon.

"Kagome! Kagome!" Shippo shouted, bouncing up and down. "Bow and arrows! You have bow and arrows, remember?"

Kagome set her backpack down and groped at her back for the quiver of arrows. She pulled one out and strung it on the bow. Taking careful aim (or so she thought), she let the arrow loose and it made a slight whistling sound as it cut through the air. The arrow flew through Inuyasha's hair, narrowly missing his head.

"Where the hell are you trying to shoot those things?!" Inuyasha shouted, only to get knocked aside by the demon while his back was turned to it as he shouted to Kagome.

"Oh geez, I'm so sorry!" Kagome said, smacking her forehead with the heel of her hand.

Inuyasha leapt to his feet and stabbed the mantis demon in the eye with his sword. "Hey um…Kagome…I have to…you know, tell you something and it's…really important see…Uhm…" Inuyasha began awkwardly, his face continually getting redder.

Miroku ran by once again chanting, "Still not the time, not the time, not the time, not the time!" He smacked Inuyasha on the head with his staff as he ran by and then Inuyasha was once again knocked to the ground from behind by the demon, who had quickly recovered from the brutal eye poking.

"Hiraikotsu!" Sango shouted, tossing her large boomerang straight at the demon's head. The boomerang sliced through the demon's neck, causing its head to fall off.

"Okay, now I can tell you Kago-" Inuyasha began but was cut off by the demon's large head falling right on top of him, knocking him to the ground for the third time, four if you counted pulling Kagome down with him to avoid the razor sharp claw, in the duration of the battle with the mantis demon: about five minutes.

"Uhm…Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, walking over tentatively and poking at the demon's head with a foot. She screamed when the head moved, but as it turned out, it was only Inuyasha trying to wiggle his way out from under the head.

"Well…uhm…That could have gone better!" Miroku announced cheerfully as Inuyasha glared from where the lower half of his body was still caught under the demon's head, Kagome grinned sheepishly and hid her arrows behind her back, and Sango tried unsuccessfully to hide her Hiraikotsu behind her back.

Miroku, Kagome, and Sango laughed nervously as they edged their way away from a furious-looking Inuyasha. Then they all took off running down the path as Inuyasha shouted after them.

"Get back here you morons! Help me get this damned head off me!! Miroku?! Sango?! Kagome?!"

A/N-Ah, crappy, crappy chapter. . Anywho, next chapter there'll be more angst about Kagome's lack of memory but not too much more. I want this story to be more humor than angst so there won't be too much but I figured I should put some in since Kagome should kinda be missing her memory and her parents and stuff so yeah. Hehe, only part I liked about this chapter was Miroku running by and chanting "Not the time, not the time, not the time…" Hehe, I could just imagine Miroku running around in circles and chanting. Well anywho, review! (Rhyming is so much fun!) Sayonara capybara! -That is now my phrase for good-bye. I'm going to go copyright it and everything. It will be Pam's saying.  \( ^.^ )/ Wow! 26 reviews for chapter 9! Geez, I need to dance again *Does happy dance* Oh, and you all can check out my newest Inuyasha fic if you're feeling particularly bored. It's called "I Just Wanted You to Notice Me."

Review Responses:

Kawaii: Whoa, that's kinda like what I'd do!

Ookami Fluffer-sama: WAI! Not the chainsaw! Wai! *Runs around in squares clutching her head*

Jess-ed-ness: Just between you and me but…*Whispers* Kouga shall be returning sometime in the future of this fic. I have plans. ^.^

Momentum: I updated sooner than last time I think ^.^ I are proud.

Ggrek123: No worries, I are continuing ^.^

Tiggr ^*~: You didn't like my fluff?! Haha, that's understandable because…because well…I CAN'T WRITE FLUFF! *hangs head in shame* I'm serious, I can't. I really can't at all. I'm practicing though! wOOt!

Rabid Bunny: Wah, thanks! ^.^

Chibi Chaos Mage: This chapter doesn't have much in the sense of fluffiness but I figured I would add some humorous action ^.^ There will be fluff though, I will try so hard to write fluff for all you guys!

Farren: Wow, I'm your only Inuyasha relief?! Geez, I don't think I can handle that responsibility.

The Unnamed Demon: Here are another chapter. I updated quicker than last time I think.

The Hidden One: Hehehehe…(Can't tell you why I'm giggling secretively, it's secret ^.~)

Melody: Yeah, it really isn't working because he's not really good at being nice but you'll see in future chapters and some previous ones too, that he's really making an effort ^.^

Tenshi no Yami: Kikyo will make a brief appearance but then she won't show up again until towards the end a bit.

CrazyGirl: Thanks!

Neko-Sama: Yay! I'm so glad people think it's so funny! I really like writing humor and I've always liked to have a story with a plot but with definite humor in it. I'm glad it's working for me ^.^

Envyandrave: Hah, that wasn't a flame. ^.^ It was helpful. Yeah, Sesshoumaru and Kouga did kind of randomly appear but Kouga only because his "woman" was near by and in the anime, he does rather show up randomly whenever Kagome's by. Sesshoumaru he kinda came for a reason, but let for no reason. I just figured he'd leave since Kagome was asking him about a very touchy subject: the fact that he hates humans but has this little human girl with him.

Omnitoad: Whoa! I can read minds! I knew what you were thinking when you left your review! Sweet!

Friend of Shippou: I think I updated sooner than last time. Not sure though since I absolutely have no sense of time whatsoever. I don't even know what day it is, not only the date but I mean the day of the week. I have no idea.

Kagome: I writed more! Dance with me! *Does happy dance*

Kara: Thanks! Glad you like!

Mystic-Water: No no, Kouga…just between you and me and Jess-ed-ness, Kouga will make another appearance ^.^

Hanyou-Girl25: Really? I'm so glad since I'm horrible at writing sweet .

Morlana: I do believe he will…Didn't think about it but perhaps he will.

AnimeCat: Oh gods! I got an A?! Sweet!

Jamfase: Sure, I'd be more than happy to read the story you suggested! You just gotta send it to me. Oh, and I emailed you a list of the manga and anime I've read/watched. I hope you got it. I would put the list on my bio but it was long O.o

VicFan: Thanks!
