~*~My best friend demanded an update, so we're gonna try it. No promises!!! It's probably gonna be short. ~*~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The raven haired girl woke up to the sun shinning in her eyes. 'Damn sunlight. I finally got to sleep not that long ago.' She waited a few moments for her eyes to adjust to her surroundings when she saw others in the room. Blinking a few times, she looked at them. "Umm… hi?"

The woman with long black hair and odd, really old looking clothes looked at her. "Good morning, Kagome-chan."

The girl frowned. "Who is this Kagome?"

"Oh, gomen. The doctor said we could call you by your name. Kagome is your name. I'm Sango. The others will come in a little later."

'Kagome? That's me? Why can't I remember? And this girl looks familiar…'

The door swung open and a very cheerful woman walked in. She had short dark hair and soft eyes. "Good morning Kagome. I'm your mom. How are you this morning?"

"My… mom? Gomen, I don't remember you."

Kaoru waved her hand. "It will come in time. We're all here to help you remember."

"We?"

"Hai. The boys will be here soon."

As if on cue, two young boys, two teenage boys and an elderly gentleman walked in the room. 'Why is the old guy carrying ofuda? Wait... how do I know what the heck an ofuda is???'

"Kagome-sama? It's good to see you awake."

"Thanks, I think. Who are you?"

Miroku was at her side with her hands in his. Yes, Kagome was wide eyed. "Forgive my manners. I am the trusted Miroku. I am a servant of Buddha, so you have nothing to fear while around me."

Kagome's face changed suddenly. "Er, Miroku was it?" He nodded. "Why is your hand on my butt?"

*SMACK SMACK*

"HENTAI!"

"You pervert! Hands off!!!"

The poor monk was on the ground, out cold. Kaoru just stared at them while Souta and Shippou rolled their eyes. Grandpa was off trying to get the demons out of some kid in the next room. Yeah, security was being paged.

The girl in the hospital bed smiled at the familiar sight. 'Wait, why is this familiar? Who are these people?'

The girl… Sango stood over the monk's bruised body while the guy with the very long white hair and… doggie ears… looked at her with these hopeful eyes. 'He's the guy from yesterday. Why is he looking at me like that?'

The boy came up to her slowly until they were only about a foot away from each other. He spoke in a gently voice that stunned the others for some reason. "Do you remember me at all?"

Seeing his eyes like that, Kagome wanted to tell him yes with all her heart, but she couldn't. "I wish I did. I'm sorry."

There was a flash of pain in his eyes. "I'm Inu Yasha. Over there is Shippou and Souta. Souta is your little brother. The older guy in here before is your grandpa."

Kagome tried to process all this information and started to get a headache. The boy… Inu Yasha… smirked at her obvious frustration. "You'll get it soon. We'll all help you. Don't worry."

"Thanks." She smiled a warm and sincere smile at him, which made his heart leap. 'She's so close and yet so very far away.'

Kaoru had to interrupt this little moment though. "Well, I spoke with the doctor and he said you could go home today. He thought the surroundings would help you recover your memory better."

"That sounds nice. Umm… why was I in the hospital in the first place?"

They group all looked at each other with this look of panic almost. "Umm… We'll tell you later. Let's just get home."

They soon had her packed up and ready to go. The doctor came in one last time to check her out and then checked her out. "Please bring her by later in the week. I'd like to see how she's doing. I'll see you later Kagome."

"Bye."

They all piled into the car and started to drive away. Suddenly a thought hit the hanyou. "Why does it seem like we have more room in the car?"

Meanwhile, security was having a field day trying to stop a grope-and-run monk as well as a crazy old man trying to chase out demons.
