Kagome's Memories
By: OtakuSailorV
Chapter 4: Kagome Sees
They had finally started to move again. Kagome had gotten her love of her new command over 'Mr. Dog-man' worked out. And Shippo had passed out from the rapid beatings Inuyasha had inflicted on him when Kagome wasn't looking.
'Damn. . .I was hoping she wouldn't find out about that accursed necklace! But, no, Shippo has to open his big, dumb mouth and. . .'
Inuyasha's musings were interrupted by none other than Kagome.
"Kagome's legs hurt." Inuyasha snorted and moved on.
They had only walked a few more feet when Kagome moaned again. "Kagome's legs hurt."
Miroku moved in, received a hiraikotsu to the head, and backed away again.
Sango glared at him and went to Kagome instead. "Here, Kirara will carry you for a while."
Kagome smiled at her, but then screeched when Kirara changed. "Kagome keeps seeing weirder and weirder things. Buyo doesn't do THAT. At least. . .Kagome's never seen Buyo do THAT. . ."
Kagome gazed thoughtfully at the giant, flaming cat.
Inuyasha looked back at them slightly. "Feh."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Kagome was asleep on Kirara's back before long. "Inuyasha, are you sure you know where we are headed?"
Miroku suddenly asked.
Inuyasha made a face and turned, looking for Kagome. "Well. . .uh. . .no."
Everyone turned toward Kagome.
Sango eyed the monk ahead of her. "You think she can still. . .?"
Miroku lowered his head slightly. "She might. . ."
Sango, without another thought, nudged the sleeping girl.
Kagome's eyes fluttered and she turned over in her sleep, nearly falling off Kirara's back. She made a face as she opened her eyes and peered blearily at them.
"Uh?"
Her eyes met Inuyasha's first. She turned hastily away and looked up at Sango instead.
"What you is waking Kagome from her nap-nap for?"
Inuyasha flinched at the way she talked, it got on his nerves more than anything Shippo ever did.
"Can you sense any Jewel Shards Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, trying to ignore how she had averted her eyes from his.
"Kagome sense what? No, Kagome never even heard of that before."
Inuyasha's jaw dropped, his mind blanked, time seemed to freeze.
'S-she DOESN'T remember the jewel shards?!' He felt surprise and shock rise in him, leaving no room for the anger that was sure to boil over any second.
"You. . .you don't remember. . ." Inuyasha finally said as his shoulders sagged.
Kagome shook her head. "Are they pretty jewels Mr. Dog-man?"
But Inuyasha wasn't paying any attention, he just kept repeating the line over and over to himself, until he was near incoherent.
"She can't remember, she can't remember. She can't remember, she can't remember. Shecan'tremember, shecan'tremember. Shecan'tremember,shecan'tremember. Shecan'tremembershecan'tremember!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He squeezed his eyes shut and rammed his fist into the ground.
"HOW COULD SHE NOT REMEMBER?!?!?!?!?!?!?! We've only been searching for them for the past year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kagome screamed and ducked behind Kirara. The others just sweatdropped as they watched the enraged hanyou.
"Inuyasha, calm down, Miroku can teach her how to do it in no time."
Inuyasha looked up at Shippo, sweat dripping down his face. He opened his mouth to say something as he stood erect again, but a loud, ear splitting noise tore his attention away.
*Crack!*
Inuyasha turned to looked at the forest behind himself.
From the trees burst a huge oni-like creature. It tore at the ground and raced toward them, slobbering and growling like a maniac.
Kagome screamed when she saw it.
Inuyasha jumped from his place and scooped her onto his back.
"Hold on."
His cloak flapped in the wind as he soared over the beast.
"Kagome, can you see any jewel shards?"
The frightened girl sniffled once before shouting in his ear.
"Why jewels so important to you now?! That big monster want hurt us! We run away!"
Inuyasha growled. "Idiot! That thing might be on a rampage because it's looking for jewel shards! If he has one, we want it! Now, CAN you see one or not?!"
Kagome made a face and took a deep breath.
"Kagome no know what you speak of crazy dog-man! You get us away from here!" Inuyasha spotted Miroku and Sango at the ready, jumping from the creatures reach while attacking in regular pattern.
Inuyasha made a face. "The spot where the jewel is glows. If I get the jewel it dies. Here, use that bow and arrow and shoot at the place that glows."
Kagome looked at it. "Wha?"
"Just do it! You want this thing to keep chasing us?!"
"No."
"Then shoot the arrow! But only at the place that glows!" Inuyasha barked.
Kagome nodded and fitted an arrow awkwardly. "Like this?"
"Yeah, now, shoot!"
Kagome scanned the monster until she saw it, the place where it glows.
"Kagome shoots!" She cried as she let the arrow go.
She smiled as it sailed across the sky. . .
And fell at the monsters huge, clawed feet.
"Ah!"
Inuyasha sweatdropped.
"That's it, off my back!"
He dropped Kagome on the ground roughly. "Gods! What did I do to deserve this punishment?!" Inuyasha grumbled to himself.
'Well. . .I DO let Miroku hang out with us. . .that could be something. . .' He mused to himself.
"Watch out Mr. Dog-man!!!!!!" Kagome screamed as the beast came down on them.
"Eh?" Inuyasha looked up as the oni came.
"Oh." Inuyasha crouched and jumped up, running right through the middle of the creature.
It let out a horrid scream before collapsing to the ground.
"Heh."
Inuyasha landed on the other side. "Now, Kagome! Grab the shard!" He yelled to the frightened teenager.
Kagome screamed.
"But. . .it is stuck in the. . .ew!!" Inuyasha landed beside her. "Where?! Where is it Kagome?!"
Kagome pointed at the oni's head. "There."
Inuyasha struck at the skull of the beast, pulling forth not one, but two shining Shikon Jewels.
He smiled at Kagome as he helped her to her feet.
"Is Mr. Dog-man happy now?"
Inuyasha smiled wider. "No."
"Wha?"
"Now, you learn."
Inuyasha sat her down and started to instruct her in the art of shooting an arrow.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Well, another chapter done. Sorry it's so long. I just couldn't bring myself to end it ya know? ^_^ Many more run-ins with enemies later.
Also, here's the promised thank you's. . . . . .
Oneesan_No_Miroku_Houshi: Thanks. ^_^ I'm happy now.
JillianJiggs: I am aware that he has not called Inuyasha 'Lord' very much. I am pretty sure that I have heard him at least ONCE call Inuyasha with that title. You did not have to be so pushy on the subject though. Thanks.
Well, thanks to everyone. Ja.
