Chapter Five: A New Start With Kagome
Inside the hut, Inuyasha thought about what Miroku had said earlier.
"This is your chance Inuyasha." Miroku told him.
"What chance?" Inuyasha asked him.
"Your chance to have a new start with Kagome, of course."
Inuyasha sighed. 'I really am in love with her. Aren't I? I could make this work. I could change things. I could make a new start with Kagome. No more fights. No more tears. Why waste life away by keeping things just like they had been?' He gave his brain a rest and took a glance at Kagome.
"Kagome, look! I drew a picture for you!" Shippou happily chimed and held up a picture of Kagome holding a pink flower in a green, grassy field. "See? That's you!"
"How cute Shippou!" Kagome said cheerily, and giggled.
'I could somehow make her love me again.' Inuyasha thought. A true, happy smile drifted over his face for once in a long time. With that in mind, he stood, walking out of the hut to go sit in a tree.
About fifteen minutes later, a bubbly Kagome trotted out of the hut. It was now late afternoon, and the beautiful, cloudless sky was beginning to turn slightly darker. Inuyasha sat, looking toward the large, bright sun, when Kagome walked over to the base of the tree.
"Oh, hey Inuyasha! You know, I thought you were a crazed psychotic freak when you told me about this place, but now, I really believe you. I love the feudal era already!" Kagome sighed and sat down under the tree. Inuyasha hopped off of his branch and landed beside her.
"Well, that's glad to hear." Inuyasha happily said to her with a smile. Kagome giggled at his huge looking smile and laid her head onto the grass, placing her hands on her stomach. She peered up at the sky, smiling.
"You know Inuyasha? I'm really glad you're here. I just hope I can remember you, just as I had when I didn't have amnesia." Kagome closed her eyes.
Kagome was kneeling in front of a quite large tree, back in her era. The wind billowed around her, causing her raven hair and green school skirt to fly to the side along with it. A sad expression was glued to her eyes.
'Inuyasha.... oh...Inuyasha... INUYASHA!' Kagome cried in her thoughts, tears staining her cheeks. Kagome peered up at the tree. She stood up, gently touching her teardrops.
She held a glowing, pink jewel to her heart with both of her hands.
"I now see it. I must love Inuyasha. Before I knew it, I have grown to love him so much..." Kagome whispered, eyes glazed with sadness and pure heartbreak.
Kagome fluttered her eyes open, finding she was still looking up at the sky, although, the sky had grown slightly darker than before. She sat up, thinking about her new flashback.
"I thought you almost fell asleep there for a second." A voice next to her said gently. Kagome turned to see Inuyasha smiling at her.
"Huh? Oh. No. I didn't fall asleep." Kagome said.
"Oh. Are you okay?" Inuyasha worriedly asked her.
"Oh, yeah. I'm fine." Kagome breathed in dazedly. 'Was that a flashback? Did I really love Inuyasha?' Kagome thought to herself. She turned to look at him again. Inuyasha was now looking across at the setting sun gleaming over the horizon. Shades of orange, yellow, red, and pink washed over his handsome face, lighting up his fiery amber eyes. 'I loved Inuyasha. Did he love me?'
Inuyasha then spoke to her without looking at her. He was still smiling at the sun fleeing from the sky. "You know what Kagome? I just know that soon you'll remember everything, and when you do, things will become better than they were." Inuyasha sighed.
"How were things before?" Kagome asked him. Maybe it would give a hint as to if he loved her or not. Inuyasha peered over towards her.
"Different." Inuyasha said calmly to her.
"How so?" Kagome soon became very interested in what he was about to tell her.
"Well, for one thing, we didn't get along too well." Inuyasha laughed half-heartedly. Then smiled at her. "We always had fights with each other, and we never agreed on anything, yet, we were best friends anyway. Even though we had our arguments and what not, we were always there for each other, and we always protected each other. Even when I never wanted to admit it, Kagome, you helped me in more ways than I could count."
"Really?" Kagome asked him. "So then..." Kagome began.
Inuyasha turned to face her. "Huh?"
"If we're gonna defeat this evil Naraku guy, then we should get a move on and pick up where we left off." Kagome said while she stood. "C'mon. Let's go get the others." She offered a hand out to him.
Smiling, Inuyasha grasped it and they walked back to the hut, just as the sun disappeared behind the horizon.
