Sorry for the wait! Thanks, everyone who reviewed! I am sorry is this turns
out to be a short chapter, because my dad will be here to pick me up in an
hour... Grr...
Disclaimer: Maybe if I had lots of brainpower I could somehow own Inu- Yasha... somehow... but I don't... *tear*
Where we left off- Kagome stood limply in the middle of the road, in a muddy puddle, the rain coating her, as an image of the apparent hurt in everyone's eyes from when she had informed them about her no longer knowing them.
'Yet... they tried to keep their spirits up; they tried to be happy... for me...' Kagome realized, opening her eyes full of sadness and determination as she saw the dark-colored vehicle approach her at a high speed, 'I want to remember.' - The next thing Kagome knew, all she could see was red; a flash of red sped in front of her, picking her up and dodging the car. Kagome blinked in surprise, wondering what had just happened, tears still running down her checks, perhaps even more now.
"Baka..." Inu-Yasha scolded her girl and instead of setting her back on her feet, he continued to carry her over his shoulder with one of his hands at his side and the other securing Kagome's legs against his body, so she wouldn't fall off.
"Inu-Yasha..." Kagome mumbled (well, basically to his butt since that's the view she had, being slung over his shoulder as she was), "How did you...?"
"Know?" he completed her sentence, "Well, in case you haven't quite caught on, I have very good hearing, so I heard you when you left the hut and stumbled down the well. I was sure that it was you and I knew that it was quite recently, because I smelt your blood on the lip of the well." (A/N: When she scraped her knee going down the well...)
"Why'd you come to save me? I was just trying to regain my memories..." Kagome explained, though this wasn't good enough for the hanyou.
"Baka, getting hit by that 'car' thing head on isn't going to make you regain your memories; if anything, it would either make you lose your memories again or kill you. This shows how well your brain functions this late at night..." Inu-Yasha commented with a smirk.
Kagome only blushed at this though. They were now at the shrine with the well inside, so he set her down and sat beside her, now that they were out of the rain.
"I... was only trying to regain my memories... because all of you had been so kind to me, and I've grown so fond of all of you already, and I know that I've hurt you al when I lost my memories... I'm really sorry... I wanted to remember everything, Inu-Yasha, the good and the bad..." Kagome grew silent, and Inu-Yasha wiped her face clean of tears with his kimono sleeve, but then she managed to finish her sentence in nothing above a whisper, "... because I love you..."
Inu-Yasha didn't really know what to say at hearing this, and his face grew a deep shade of red. He then relaxed some, and finally replied, "... I've always felt the same way..."
Blushing such a bright color, Kagome was sure than her face would light up the dark room completely, she looked up and saw the shadow of Inu-Yasha's face in the darkness and tilted her head up as they kissed. After that, they sat in an awkward silence for a while, their faces a crimson color. A few minutes later, when Inu-Yasha had grown quite annoyed that Kagome wasn't responding to the conversation he was trying to begin, he looked down and noticed that Kagome had fallen asleep against the warmth of his body as they sat serenely together on the lip of the well.
He saw her shiver in her sleep, and he noticed that her lips were turning a slight shade of blue from the cold and the rain, so he scooted away from her a bit, being very careful not to wake her stupor, and he took of his red fire rat kimono top and draped it over the girl. Then he smiled at her and pulled her closer to him again and draped an arm around her possessively with a smug look on his face. Kagome nuzzled closer to him in her sleep, making the hanyou look even more kawaii as he blushed more.
He even fell asleep for a little while, but he woke again as the sun began to rise, and the early morning sunlight began to seep into the shrine. Inu- Yasha decided to be very careful, and he carried Kagome in his arms bridal- style as he hopped down the well, then with much care, went back to the hut trying his best not to disturb her sleep.
When Kagome awoke, everyone, including Inu-Yasha, was still asleep, so she assisted herself to the hot spring to go bathe. She felt really... different, and the night before was hazy; she thought that what had happened was only a dream.
After washing her hair and body, Kagome got out of the springs and dressed herself in a beautiful kimono. (A/N: Her school uniform was very dirty, but I have no clue how she managed to fit a kimono in her backpack 0.o)
The kimono that Kagome was now wearing was very lovely; it was an orange silk with a silver waterfall pouring from the knee into a slate blue ocean. The waterfall was split by brown cliffs, with knotted driftwood at the base embroidered in lacquered treads. The obi was a russet and brown highlighted with gold threads. And she wore tabi (the split socks) and geta. She left her hair down, though she still adorned it with a few hair ornaments.
When she arrived back at the house, everyone was awake, but Inu-Yasha never mentioned what happened the night before to anyone in the hut. Kagome felt as if she were in a daze, still feeling very weird since the moment she woke up... well, to be honest, she'd felt strange since she and Inu-Yasha kissed the night before.
"Kagome," Sango cheered as she got to her feet as her friend entered the hut in the loveliest kimono any of the people in the hut had ever laid eyes on, "you look absolutely beautiful!"
Kagome smiled and thanked her for the compliment. Miroku smiled an especially large perverted smile at seeing the dressed up Kagome, feeling that it would be especially hard to keep his hands off of someone looking so astonishing, and even Inu-Yasha blushed and turned away (not wanting anyone to find the result Kagome's look had on him), thinking about how breathtaking she appeared, but he knew that it didn't take an exquisite kimono like that to make her look beautiful. Miroku thought things like that about Sango, but eventually his thoughts got more and more perverted, first thinking of Sango lovely kimono, then in Kagome's school outfit, then... well, let's just say that the amount of clothing he imagined Sango in kept dwindling until Sango noticed he monk's perverted looks and slapped him for it.
"Kagome, you're so pretty!" Shippou exclaimed, jumping onto the miko's shoulder.
Kagome smiled, laughed, and blushed slightly at the attention she was getting, though she'd be lying to say that she hadn't chosen to wear it for getting Inu-Yasha's attention, though she was sad to see that Inu-Yasha hadn't even noticed (well, that's what she thought) and was looking away at what Kaede was cooking for breakfast.
"Child, ye DO look so nice in that kimono!" Kaede commented, as she paused in making the meal.
"Thank you..." Kagome whispered back, bowing, and then mumbling, "though it's the kimono that looks beautiful, not the person wearing it..."
After a few minutes, everyone was already eating their breakfast and carrying on random conversations.
"When we defeat Naraku, what is it that you would like to wish for, if you could wish for anything, I mean?" Sango asked Shippou, who stayed quite for a little bit, thinking.
"Wouldn't you wish for your father to be alive again?" Kagome questioned Shippou, who looked quite puzzled at hearing Kagome bring it up.
"Who told you about my father?" Shippou asked the schoolgirl.
"It wasn't me." Inu-Yasha, Sango, Miroku, and Kaede all stated.
They all sat contemplating for a few seconds before Inu-Yasha figured it out, "Could it be that... you have... regained your memories?"
~END OF FANFIC, UNLESS I GET REVIEWS then I will add an epilogue~
Kagome thought for a second then smiled the brightest that they'd seen her smile in a very long time, "I REMEMBER!" she announced with much joy.
That's the end... my dad will be here any minute now... *phone rings* I bet that's him...
