I'm Who
"Talking"
'Thinking'
*Sound*
Kagome stood there gazing at the crying Sango wondering if she should remember these people or not.
'They seem familiar, but when I look at them my mind draws a blank picture of who they are. I keep having a flashback of this man with long black hair, but he can't be the one in front of me. This Inuyasha has a kinder face with violet eyes. I remember the other's one's words.'
*Flashback*
The man with the long black hair bent down to Kagome's ear. Kagome stood there helplessly.
"Kagome," the man in whispered. "I want you to forget everyone you know … forever." The teardrop flashed and the man reached up and removed the stone.
*End Flashback*
"Are you sure you remember nothing?" Inuyasha asked as he closed his eyes. Kagome nodded and Sango wiped her face of tears. Inuyasha growled and punched the ground in anger causing Kagome to flinch and back away.
"We should get going," Miroku wretchedly said.
"Is it okay if Shakaku stays with us?" Shippo asked through his tears. Inuyasha looked up with sorrowful eyes and said, "I don't care."
Inuyasha stood up and offered a hand to Kagome. Kagome shakily took it, she stared at his hand holding hers and held her breath.
"Sango, Miroku; I want you two riding Kirara. Shakaku you carry Shippo. Kagome and I will walk until sunrise," Inuyasha said. Kirara transformed they all took off into the air. Kagome and Inuyasha stood in awkward silence until he cleared his throat. Kagome jumped and dropped Inuyasha's hand. She blushed and they began to walk towards Kaede's village.
"Why did you want to walk until sunrise?" Kagome asked.
"You'll see why, but I want to talk to you," Inuyasha answered. Kagome walked side by side with Inuyasha with her head down.
"So … you really remember nothing?" Inuyasha asked.
"I remember a man with long, dark wavy hair telling me to forget everything forever," Kagome softly said.
"Kagome, I'm so confused now that you're not with me," he mumbled.
"I may not remember, but I'm still here," Kagome said as she stopped walking.
'It's like fate wants us to be apart,' Inuyasha thought.
"Tell me about myself," Kagome said as she started walking again.
"What do you want to know?" Inuyasha asked.
"How long have I've known you?" Kagome asked.
"We've known each other for three years," Inuyasha answered.
"Are you related to me?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha jumped up and waved his hands while shaking his head.
"NO! We are in no way related!" Inuyasha all but screamed. Kagome giggled at him and then smiled.
"What are you laughing at wench?" He growled. Kagome tugged his human ear.
"My name's not wench it's …," she trailed off.
"Kagome," Inuyasha laughed out. Kagome growled at him and stomped ahead of him. He stopped laughing.
"Kagome, come back. I didn't mean to make you mad," he apologized. Kagome stopped walking but didn't turn around. Inuyasha started to panic when he heard a sniffle. He was about to run to her when he heard her speak.
"Inuyasha," Kagome softly said.
"Yes?" He cautiously asked.
"Do you know what it is like to have no memories?"
His head looked up to the sky and he whispered, "No."
"It feels as if I have just woken up for the first time. I don't even know if I have a family or a home. … I … don't even know if I have any friends."
"You do have a family and friends." Inuyasha walked next to her and tilted her head towards him. He smiled down at her and looked into her eyes.
"And they love you more then you know."
"Thanks."
"You have a brother, mother, and grandfather. You also have Sango and Miroku as friends."
"You're a friend too, right?"
"… Yes."
'I have a feeling that he was more than a friend,' Kagome thought to herself as they continued walking.
"Is that other guy a friend?"
"Miroku? Yeah, but he's a lecherous friend."
"You sound jealous."
"The sun is about to rise," Inuyasha said as he stopped his pace. Kagome looked back at him.
"So?" She asked.
"Kagome, I want you to promise me you won't run away from me when the sun rises. If you're disgusted from me just want till the village to run," Inuyasha sorrowfully said.
"Why would I … oh," Kagome trailed off. Kagome watched in astonishment as his hair turned sliver and his eyes golden. She stared at his ears and how they were replaced by dog-ears. Kagome watched his dull nails turn into claws. She gasped as she walked closer to him to see if everything was real. Inuyasha closed his eyes not wanting to see the look of disgust on her face.
Kagome took his hand and lightly ran her hand across his claws wondering how they were so sharp. She then stood up on her toes and started to rub his ears. Inuyasha's eyes opened in shock as she began to rub his ears. His eyes opened to be staring into hers. She stopped her massaging and let her hands run through his hair and then play with a lose lock. Inuyasha opened his mouth to speak, but she gasped when she saw his fangs. She forced open his mouth and began to feel his fangs.
"Wow, you're amazing," Kagome whispered. He grabbed her searching hands and lowered them to their sides.
"I expected anything but amazing," he said.
"How could anyone think you're disgusting?" Kagome asked.
"Believe it or not, the world shuns me," Inuyasha said. His ears twitched causing Kagome to squeal with delight as she reached up and started to pet his ears.
"How could anyone shun your cute ears?" She asked. He closed his eyes and let a low even purr come out.
"Kagome, as much as I like you touching my ears we have to get going," Inuyasha said as he squatted down for her to get on.
"What do I do?" She asked.
"Get on," he said. Kagome walked over to him and put her hands on his shoulders. She then wrapped her legs around his waist and he put his hands on her thighs making sure she wouldn't fall.
"Hold on tight," Inuyasha warned.
"Whyyyyyy!" Kagome yelled as Inuyasha jumped into the air and began running on top of the trees. Kagome hid her face in Inuyasha's hair as he began to speed up. Kagome looked over his shoulders and watched as the trees and clouds passed them by. He jumped higher into the air and Kagome let her hands fly into the air as she began to laugh as they came down. Inuyasha smirked and he jumped into the air again and did a flip making Kagome scream with joy. Kagome laughed as he twisted in the air. When they arrived at the village Inuyasha let Kagome get off his back. She tweaked his ears one last time before they walked into Kaede's hut.
Kaede looked up with her eye and stared at Kagome in shock.
"She's alive?" Kaede asked.
"Yes, ya' old hag," he growled at her as he led Kagome to a place to sit down. Miroku and Sango walked into the hut with Shippo and Shakaku. They all sat around the fire pit telling what happened with Kagome and how her memory loss came to be. Kagome sat there staring at the old woman wondering how she lost her eye. Kagome crawled over to the elder woman and sat before her. Kaede stared at her questioningly. Kagome reached up her hand and put it on the eye patch. A soft dusty blue came from Kagome's palm and went into Kaede, Kagome gasped and fell over in exhaustion.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled as he rushed forward and grabbed her. Kaede reached up and pulled her eye patch. Everyone gasped when they saw that her eye with no traces of it ever being their.
"How did she do that?" Sango asked.
"The control stone most have changed her powers," Kaede said.
"Into what?" Miroku asked not liking where this was going.
"I don't know exactly what," Kaede said. Inuyasha picked up Kagome and began to walk out the door.
"Where are ye going?" Kaede asked raising an eyebrow.
"She needs a bath, she reeks of Naraku," Inuyasha growled.
"Let me get the towels and I'll help Kagome in the spring," Sango said as she got up. Inuyasha got up and started towards the hot spring. Kagome's eyes began to flutter open, but they remained closed as she squirmed.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome mumbled in her sleep.
'She must be asleep.'
"Why must you go to her?" Kagome asked as she squirmed again.
'I wonder if it's a nightmare or memory?'
"I will always love you," Kagome mumbled as she snuggled into his chest. Inuyasha blinked away any tears and sat Kagome next to the spring. She moaned and her eyes opened as she let out a yawn. Inuyasha let her sit up on the edge of the water.
"What happened?" Kagome asked.
"You fainted after you healed Kaede's eye," Inuyasha said. Kagome nodded and let her hand touch the water.
"Why am I here?" Kagome asked.
"You need to bathe. You reek of Naraku," Inuyasha said.
"Oh, are you coming in?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha's eyes went wide as his face turned pure red.
"Wha? I … no … that!" Inuyasha went on mumbling while Kagome sighed and put her hand over his mouth.
"I have swimming trunks," Kagome said.
"Oh," Inuyasha dumbly said.
"You had your mind in the gutter!" Kagome exclaimed.
"Don't put words in my mouth!" Inuyasha growled at her.
"Cool!" Kagome yelled.
"What!?"
"That sounded like a real dog growl," Kagome said as she reached up and petted his ears.
"Keh!"
"Keh back at ya," Kagome said.
"I overheard you two and I went back to get those swimming trunks," Sango said as she threw the trunks over to him. Sango then laughed at the growling hanyou and left back the way she came.
"Kagome, I don't think I should go … in … with you?" Inuyasha trailed off as he saw Kagome's clothes on the ground.
"Come in! The water's great!" Kagome shouted as she dove under. Inuyasha walked behind a bush grumbling about women. When he came out from the bush he was in red swimming trunks with white strips on the side. He walked towards the hot spring and grumbled before diving in. When he resurfaced, he looked around the water top to find no Kagome. He frowned and swam around looking for her. He gasped when something pulled him under the water. He opened his eyes to see a smiling Kagome. Kagome pointed up and began to swim up. Inuyasha's face turned pure red and he swam up to the surface.
"Your naked!" Inuyasha stuttered. Kagome gave him this look of like it was an everyday thing.
"So?" She asked.
"But … I … we," Inuyasha mumbled.
"Chill out, it's only a body," Kagome said as she splashed him. Inuyasha grinned as splashed her back sending her under water. When she came up, she growled and splashed him.
"You smell like wet dog," Kagome said doing yuck motions.
Inuyasha frowned and replied, "I am a dog." Kagome laughed and splashed him again.
"Silly puppy," she mumbled floating on her back. Inuyasha heard that and swam over to her.
"So you want a puppy?" He said with a hint of mischief.
He tackled Kagome sending them both under the water. Kagome opened her eyes to see she was under water and in his arms. They stayed in each other's arms as they reached the surface. When they were at the surface Kagome and Inuyasha began to lean in closer. Kagome paused and spit spring water at him. Inuyasha opened one eye and growled at her while she laughed. Inuyasha took his chance and kissed her deeply. Her laughter silenced, her heartbeat went up, and she relaxed into the kiss. They broke away and swam to the surface to get dressed.
As Kagome got dressed, she began to think of different things.
'What do I feel for Inuyasha? Could we have had something more together then friends? I feel like I'm supposed to be with him, but I don't know why,' Kagome silently pondered.
'Does she really remember nothing? When she finally tells me she loves me and I her, we get separated. I should be happy that's the only thing lost,' Inuyasha thought as he frowned.
"Are you ready to go?" Kagome asked as she tied her last string.
"Yeah," Inuyasha replied. Kagome smiled at him and he truly smiled back.
'If I can make him happy, that is all I need … even if my past is blank,' Kagome thought.
'Kagome, this time I won't lose you,' Inuyasha silently vowed to himself.
