Kohaku looked up at Kagome. "I...but...but I didn't!"
Inuyasha stepped in, unsheathing Tetsusaiga. "All right, Kohaku, let go of her!" "What?" said Kohaku. "She's - holding onto me."
Kagome released her death grip on Kohaku's collar, and he stepped backwards. Inuyasha quickly pulled Kagome away from Kohaku and pointed Tetsusaiga's tip at him. "You...fix him!" Inuyasha said.
"I can't - I don't know what happened!" said Kohaku.
"I'm SURE! You may think you're something, but being Naraku's plaything doesn't make you invincible! You bleed like a mortal, Kohaku," Inuyasha said testily.
That was when Kohaku said something that made Sango's jaw drop. "Who's Naraku?"

"I only remember something hitting me in the back, and a glow, then...I just don't know," said Kohaku, looking slightly fearfully at Inuyasha. They were sitting in Kaede's hut, Inuyasha still with his sword out, Sango looking wary, and Kagome cradling Sota and crying silently.
"It is no fault of yours, little Kohaku," said Kaede. "Your sister was correct - the Shikon no Tama fragment was reacting to its counterpart." She ladled beef stew into a bowl and handed it to Kohaku with a pair of chopsticks.
"Sango," said Kohaku, turning to her. "You never told me who Naraku was. And why wasn't I in the village when all this happened? Why aren't you in the village? Won't Father be worried?"
"Kohaku," Sango breathed. "You...you don't...remember what happened?"
"The only thing I don't know is who Naraku is. Is he an overlord?" Kohaku looked innocently at Sango.
"Good gods, you really don't know what happened..." Sango stared, dumbfounded, at Kohaku.
Inuyasha stood up. "Oh, give me a break! It's obvious this is Naraku's idea of a joke, or just another scheme to get our Shikon fragments!"
Sango stood up, too. "Stop it, Inuyasha. He says he doesn't remember and I believe him!" "You've gotta be kidding me," said Inuyasha. "How could he possibly not remember?"
"It seems," Kaede interrupted, "Kohaku's soul no longer wanders in darkness." The priestess looked solemnly at him. "Welcome home."
Inuyasha stepped in, unsheathing Tetsusaiga. "All right, Kohaku, let go of her!" "What?" said Kohaku. "She's - holding onto me."
Kagome released her death grip on Kohaku's collar, and he stepped backwards. Inuyasha quickly pulled Kagome away from Kohaku and pointed Tetsusaiga's tip at him. "You...fix him!" Inuyasha said.
