I Wish to Be Forgotten
An InuYasha and Kagome Fanfic
By: InuxKag4ever
Author's Notes: Hey! Courtney, here! I have wanted to write a fanfic and actually finish it, and since I have a lot of time on my hands this weekend, I'll start this fanfic. I've been racking my brains for an idea or a story line or a plot, and finally I have figured out what to write about! I have written/started out a few fanfics, so this isn't my first one and I have been around fanfic.net for awhile. I hope you enjoy my story everyone!
Disclaimers: If I was the creator of InuYasha or Ranma½, do you think I would be writing a fanfic? Nope, I didn't think you would.
Chapter One - I Wish to Be…
//Kagome's Point of View//
She ran. She ran as fast as her human legs could take her. She ran as fast as her heart could keep on going, trying to escape the unbearable pain. Even if the sharp tips and the splinters of the branches were scraping at her skin, the pain was much, much worse. Kagome felt her tears forming in her big, wide chocolate eyes. Those eyes usually were smiling and bright, but right now…they were full of pain and sorrow. Kagome choked back a sob and bit her lip. She didn't want to cry…she wouldn't. This happened too many times, too many. Kagome was too familiar of the time when she ran into the forest just like she was doing now…the time where she saw InuYasha proclaim that he was going to protect Kikyou with his own life…not Kagome's.
//Flashback//
Kagome smiled cheerfully as she jumped into the well. She couldn't wait to see how ticked InuYasha would be. She couldn't wait to see her friends also, her little shippou, the monk, and the demon exterminator.
Kagome jumped out of the well. She climbed over the well and gasped for breath. There was no ladder installed yet, but there was rope. But either way, it was still kind of difficult to climb over the well. She happily smiled as she walked toward the familiar path of Kaede's village. Something didn't seem right to the young miko.
'It really has gotten so late…I guess I didn't notice before. But…but shouldn't InuYasha have calmed down to?' thought Kagome to herself. Kagome looked up into the sky. She saw brilliant, pale blue lights.
'Hmmm…?' thought Kagome as she followed the lights and into the forest. Kagome ran into the forest until she heard some voices.
"Kikyou you…said that my life was yours. In that case, your life is mine!" said InuYasha. Kagome gasped. She could feel her tears coming. Those words stabbed at her heart. Kagome fell back and leaned against the tree for support. Her breaths became shorter.
"InuYasha…" said Kikyou quietly, her features on her face softening.
"Kikyou…" said InuYasha to Kikyou, having the same kind of face as Kikyou's. Kagome had heard enough, her heart painfully aching now. Her heart had strangely become heavier. She closed her eyes, trying to take deep breaths. But as she turned around and opened her eyes, she saw Kikyou and InuYasha…embracing. She gasped again…it felt like she had forgotten how to breathe. Kagome didn't pay anymore attention to what happened…she was lost in confusion and heartbreak. If she did pay attention, she would have noticed how Kikyou nearly stabbed InuYasha in the neck.
"Kikyou…Kikyou! Don't leave me! Kikyou!" shouted InuYasha as Kikyou left. Pain and sorrow clouded his eyes.
Kagome couldn't take it anymore. Pain had gotten the better of her and made her knees weak, causing her to fall. It was a mistake to do that, as InuYasha looked towards where the source of noise was. Kagome stood up again behind the tree, and finally turned around to face InuYasha. She looked at him with despair, hurt, and confusion in her eyes. But InuYasha stared back at her, a look Kagome had never seen before.
'InuYasha…why…Why aren't you looking away from me? Why are you looking at me with those eyes? No, InuYasha…look away from me! InuYasha!' thought Kagome, as she silently called to him with her eyes. But his eyes still looked at her in the same way. It bore into Kagome, and forever into her memories. It silently killed Kagome as they both stared at each other for awhile in silence.
"Kagome…" said InuYasha, breaking the silence. But he couldn't continue.
'InuYasha…finally knows…who he's going to pick. He's going to tell me…he's going to tell me who it is! No…I don't want to hear this! I don't want to hear it…' thought Kagome as she slowly backed away from him. Before taking one last look at InuYasha, she ran into the forest.
//End of Flashback//
But this one…this one did it. This one truly shattered her heart into millions of pieces…too many pieces to put back together. As she thought about the events that just happened, she felt the threatening tears come back to her again. The tears blinded her vision. She stumbled on a large tree root, and fell to the dirty ground. She didn't care though. She just cried hard into the ground. She poured out all her pain and sorrow into those tears. She tried to cry silently, but her sobs and cries became louder every time she tried to choke back some of the tears.
Before she knew what she was doing she clasped her hand on the completed Shikon no Tama. After all of their years of hard work in trying to find all of the shards, they have finally completed it. She cried even harder as she remembered all of the happy memories they had in collecting all of the shards.
'Everything is over now…' thought Kagome sadly as she sobbed uncontrollably. 'I will have to go back to my time…there is no point of me staying because InuYasha is going to…' but Kagome stopped herself and cried and sobbed more. She didn't want to think about it. She clutched the Shikon no Tama around her neck. She wore the Shikon no Tama because now that the jewel was completed, she was the protector of the Shikon no Tama.
'InuYasha…please just forget about me! It is…' thought Kagome as she closed her eyes, silent tears falling down now, 'so painful…why would you want to remember me when you have Kikyou…'
Kagome was silent now. Silent streams of tears flowed down her cheeks. She closed her eyes tightly and gripped the Shikon no Tama tighter. Kagome quietly spoke to herself, her voice shaky and full of pain.
"I…I wish InuYasha would just forget about me. I wish…I wish to be forgotten!" said Kagome as her bangs hid her tearful eyes and wet face as she looked down.
Kagome failed to notice what she had just done, and failed to notice whose presence was with her. She had failed to notice the jewel that was now glowing a bright pink now. She had also failed to notice a silver-haired hanyou, who was now looking at her painfully with his amber orbs.
Author's Notes: Cliffhanger! Not a very good cliffhanger I might add, but I tried. As you can see, this will be a very angsty story. The flashback is from episode 47, Onigumo's Heart Still Beating, or something like that. Want to know what InuYasha has done this time? Want to know what will happen? Well, if I get a lot of reviews saying how they would like me to continue, than I will continue! So please read and review!
