Memory Fade

#%#%#%

Inuyasha: :o!! I'm starting to dislike this story!!

Me: You'll like it after.

Inuyasha: YAY! Other wise I love it =)

Me: See Yami? Why can't you be like that?

Yugi: Yeah. Why can't you? (everyone crowds around Yami and backs him up into a corner)

Yami: =( Everyone picks on me!!

Me: Hehehe =)

#%#%#%

Naomi gasped. "Who-who am I?" she cried. "You don't remember me?" she yelled.

Inuyasha shook his head. "I don't even know who I am. Where am I anyways? Why am I here?"

Naomi burst into tears. She bent forward and wrapped Inuyasha in a hug.

"What? Hey, what are you doing?"

"Inuyasha, why did you forget?" Naomi sobbed. "Why did you forget everything?"

"Inuyasha...." He murmured. "Is that my name?"

Naomi sniffled. "It's your name. And we're in my house. You got hit over the head and forgot. You forgot everything."

She let go and wiped her tears. She looked out the window. It was very dark outside.

Like how I feel inside, she thought.

She turned to Inuyasha.

"You don't remember me, do you?"

Inuyasha turned away. He put his hand on the pillow.

"I don't remember anything. I don't remember you, me or anything."

Naomi got up and looked for her photo album. She showed Inuyasha the picture of her and Kagome. "You don't remember Kagome either?" she asked wincing.

He shook his head. Naomi dropped the photo album.

"No." she said. "No, this is only temporary, you'll remember soon. I know you will. You'll remember and...." She cried once more.

Inuyasha got out of the bed. "Please don't cry." He pleaded. "What did I do?"

Naomi looked at him and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"You forgot me."

Inuyasha slowly walked over and Naomi hugged him.

He acted with surprise at first, and then he hugged her back.

"I wish I could remember." He muttered.

Naomi let go. "You should rest." She said sorely. "Maybe you'll remember tomorrow."

"Are you going to leave me?" he asked, scared.

Naomi sighed. "I guess I have no choice."

Inuyasha moved over on the bed. He patted the place right beside him.

"Right here please. Don't leave me alone."

Naomi gasped then nodded. She changed into her pajamas and hesitantly climbed in beside Inuyasha. She rolled over to face away from him.

"You don't remember anything?" she repeated, just to make sure.

"No." Inuyasha said, looking at the ceiling. "I want to remember, though. But I don't know how."

"I want us to start over." Naomi decided out loud. "Tomorrow."

Inuyasha gasped. "You won't leave me alone will you?" he asked. "I don't remember anything, I only know you. Please don't leave me."

Naomi looked at him and his watering yellow eyes.

Her expression softened.

He looks like a little kid, she thought helplessly. He looks so sweet. I have to help him remember again.

"I won't leave you." She whispered. "I'll be there until you remember again and from there on until forever."

Inuyasha smiled. "Thank you."

"Good-night Inuyasha." She said, closing her eyes and dozing off.

Inuyasha did the same thing.

#%#%#%

The ghost of Kagome sat on a branch while looking through Naomi's bedroom window.

Tears trickled down her face.

"Poor Inuyasha." She said looking at him.

"He's been through so much, now he's forgotten everything." She wiped the tears away.

"Everything."

Through the window, Naomi and Inuyasha were sleeping peacefully, but they were both facing away from each other. Kagome frowned.

"Inuyasha, you forgot about me, didn't you? You broke your promise didn't you?" and while crying, she started to fade away.

#%#%#%

Naomi started to toss and turn. She tightened her eyes and fell into a dream.

#%Her dream#% (Me: wasn't that obvious?)

Naomi walked around a dark field. She looked around and saw a small temple. She walked up to the door and heard creaking sounds.

I shouldn't go in there.

But she felt an urge to open the door. Slowly, she did. She looked around and everything was pitch black. She was afraid to step in, until a faint light appeared and she saw a boy standing away from her, turning his head to greet her.

Naomi squinted her eyes. The boy had long flowing black hair and deep, dark brown eyes. He wore red robe bottoms and a beige top.

He walked up to her. Naomi shuddered. He was standing right in front of her and he placed her hair behind her ears.

"Naomi...." He whispered. He embraced her in a loose hug.

She looked up at him and he was looking down back at her. His eyes twinkled. Naomi realized they were tears.

Do I know you? She asked silently, blushing. She face softened. She suddenly felt sleepy. She smiled at him.

"Be careful." He warned, whispering into her ear.

Naomi pulled away. "Careful of what?" she asked softly.

"Danger awaits in your future." He said looking down.

Naomi yearned for another hug. She wrapped her arms around him and put her cheek to his chest.

"You seem.... familiar."

"Do I?" he asked looking down.

Those eyes. Naomi thought dreamily. They seem so familiar, yet so different. She closed her eyes and let him hold her up.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"Be careful." He repeated. He slowly started to fade away. Naomi gasped.

"No! Don't go!" she cried. "I have so much more to ask you."

But he ignored her words and faded away. "Be careful...."

Naomi reached out. "Who are you?!"

But he was gone.

#%End of dream#% (Me: heh....)

Naomi woke up. She panted hard and realized she was soaked in her own sweat. She looked over at Inuyasha, but he was gone.

"Inuyasha?" she cried looking around.

He wouldn't have wondered off on his own....would he? She started to panic. Where could he be?

She looked out the window, and it was still dark outside.

"Inuyasha!" she called.

Where is he? She thought on the verge of tears. She ran outside and circled the house. She stopped abruptly as she saw Inuyasha in the back yard. His feet were dipped in her pool and he was looking at the moon.

"I-Inuyasha?"

He turned to face her. His expression was solemn.

"I thought I lost you Inuyasha." Naomi said, breathing heavily.

"Sorry." He said, turning back.

Naomi sat beside him and dipped her feet in the water.

"It must be scary." She whispered. "Not knowing anything anymore. Having to start from a fresh beginning but don't know how to." She looked at him and he looked at her.

"Will, will you help me? Will you help me remember?" he asked, grabbing her hands.

Naomi paused.

He looks like such a kid, she thought sadly. And he might never grow up.

Naomi squeezed his hand. "Yes." She said in a trembling voice. Inuyasha bent forward and hugged her. She gasped, and then hugged him back.

He used to be such a troublemaker, she thought, reflecting. Now all of that's passed him. Now, he needs to start over. I have to help him.

Inuyasha looked back up into the sky. He took long blinks.

"It's very beautiful." He whispered.

Naomi looked into the water. It was so still it looked like a mirror. She saw the reflecting moonlight and forced a smile.

"I hope I can remember. Now that you are helping me."

Naomi opened her mouth at these words. Then she smiled and her eyes started to water. She reached for Inuyasha's hand and placed it on her cheek.

"I hope so too." She looked up and saw a shooting star. She cried out in happiness. Inuyasha saw it too.

"Wow." He said smiling.

"Make a wish."

Inuyasha thought for a while then looked back up in the sky.

"I wish that we'll be together forever."

#%#%#%

Me: AHH! I'm starting to slip on the descriptions! I'm just picturing it in my mind like the actual show and when I saw how they looked or how they sounded, it sounds so retarded! You know in anime where they have that line horizontal thingy above their nose and under the eyes when they're mad, sad, sick, or scared? LoL! I tried to describe it but I guess it didn't work out.

Inuyasha: I was in her dream!

Yami: WE KNOW! That's why she wrote this crap ass story.

Inuyasha: (flares at Yami)

Me: It's true, but I had a different dream.

Yugi: OOO! (sits in front of me with his legs crossed ready to hear the story)

Me: Okay, well I had a dream that the producers of Inuyasha read my story on FanFiction and they emailed me saying they wanted to make it into a movie!

Yugi: :O!!! OMG!!

Me: Yeah, so they translated all that crap into English and drew out the animation stuff and they got ME to play the voice of Naomi!

Inuyasha: COOL!! XD

Me: Yes, but it's not as good as being with my Inu (heart heart)

Inuyasha: =D

Yami: =(
