Inuyasha: But it SAYS angst and romance in the description.
Yugi: Which leads to tears and crying.
Me: ....which it....the same thing.
Yugi: =)

Naomi woke up and stretched her arms out. She rubbed her eyes and looked over at Inuyasha, who was still asleep.
She smiled.
He looks so normal when he's sleeping. It seems like none of this ever happened.
She lay down on the bed waiting for Inuyasha to wake up. She found herself thinking about that dream.
"What was he warning me about?" she wondered out loud.
"Who?"
Naomi turned around and saw Inuyasha sit up.
"Good morning." She greeted. She told him about the dream she had.
"Interesting." He said.
"I still don't get it." Naomi said getting up. She picked up her clothes and walked into her closet.
"So how was your sleep?" she asked inside.
"Good." He said. He walked out of the bed.
What is she doing inside of there? He wondered. He opened the closet door and Naomi was topless and was turned away from him. She screamed.
Inuyasha blushed.
"Sit boy!"
He yelled as he plunged to the ground. Naomi slipped on her shirt on and leaned against the wall.
"What happened?" he asked getting up and dusting himself off.
"Oh yeah, you don't remember." Naomi walked towards him. "The necklace you have will take you down like that if I ever say sit boy."
THUMP!
Naomi gasped. "Sorry!"
Inuyasha slowly got up. He tugged on the necklace. "Why don't it come off?"
"Because it is like a curse." Naomi said.
Inuyasha ignored the necklace.
"Please tell me about myself." He asked. "I want to know."
Naomi and Inuyasha seated themselves on the bed.
"It started 50 years ago." She started. "You were a half demon and wanted to use the Shikon no Tama jewel to make yourself a full demon."
"Why would I want to do that?" he asked.
Naomi paused. "Because you were ashamed of your hanyou form."
Inuyasha raised his eyebrows.
"You got possession over the jewel and Kikyou shot you with her special arrows and got you trapped in a spell of sleep for 50 years." Naomi frowned at the memories of her shouting at Inuyasha.
"Really...." Inuyasha murmured.
"Then Kagome came along and pulled the arrow out and you didn't really get along at first, but you did."
"Who's Kagome?" he asked. "Is that the girl you showed me?"
Naomi nodded. "Then Kagome died. And you stumbled upon me."
Inuyasha put his hand on her lap. "I'm glad I did."
Naomi's eyes watered.
"Then you were hit on the head. You forgot everything. Now that I think about it, it's all my fault." She put her hands to her cheeks and gasped.
"It's my fault."
"Why is that? You didn't hit me, did you?" Inuyasha demanded.
She shook her head. "We fought. Then I came back to you and a monster showed up. You were trying to protect me. And now look what I've done."
She didn't cry. Her eyes were open staring at the ground.
"All my fault."
Inuyasha wrapped her in a hug. "Don't feel bad."
Naomi looked up at him. "Why? Because of me, you forgot everything."
"It's fine. You'll help me remember, right?"
Naomi nodded.
"Then I forgive you." He said wrapping her tighter.
She smiled.

It was around 2:00 pm and Inuyasha and Naomi were in the living room watching TV.
"What's this?" Inuyasha had asked when he saw the television.
"It's a TV." She explained.
"Oh. Did I have these in my time?" he asked.
She shook her head.
"Why don't we watch a movie?" she asked, getting out a variety of DVDs out.
Inuyasha curiously looked at the movies.
"This ones a good one." Naomi said, picking up a funny movie.
Inuyasha stared at it for a while then looked back on the piles of movies.
He picked one up.
"I kind of want to see this one." He handed it to Naomi. She let out a sigh. She looked at it.
"A love movie...." She looked at him. "Why would you want to see this?" when she and Inuyasha first met, she thought he'd be the last person to see a mushy love movie.
He shrugged. "It seems....familiar."
She gave him a weak smile. The movie was about a boy and a girl from completely different places but when they meet they fall in love but they didn't know how to keep it.
Just like us, she thought. She put the disk in and they started to watch it. They sat on the couch with Naomi's head on his lap.
They shared tears together and before they realized it, the movie was over.
#%#%#%
It was nighttime again.
Naomi was brushing her hair while Inuyasha was lying in bed looking blankly at the ceiling.
"So...." She started. "Do you remember anything yet?"
"No." he replied.
"Don't worry." She said, getting into the bed. "You'll remember by tomorrow. I'm sure of it."
Inuyasha looked at her. "Really?"
Naomi nodded.
"Thank you." He said. "Again."
"I'm doing my best." She said softly.
"I'm glad." He said.
She smiled as silent tears formed at the corner of her eyes.
"I have some things for you to see tomorrow."
Inuyasha stared at her, and then hesitantly leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers. She acted with surprise then returned the kiss.
"That was for good luck."
#%#%#%
"Let's GO Inuyasha!" she cried, waiting in the front door.
"Hold on." He walked out in her brother's clothes. He held a baseball cap in his hands. "Why do I have to be in these clothes?"
She grabbed his hand. "Because, people will start to suspect you."
He raised an eyebrow.
"Besides you look—"she stopped herself. Was she about to say that he looked sexy?
"What?" he asked.
"Normal." She said blushing.
"Okay...." He looked around and put the cap on his head. "How do I look?"
Naomi smiled. "You look fine."
"Where are we going again?"
"You'll find out." She brought him to her car and they drove off.
"Where are we?" Inuyasha asked, looking around.
"We're at the amusement park." She said smiling.
"I see. What do you do here?"
"You have fun." She grabbed his hand and they went on all the rides together.
They ran through the park laughing. Inuyasha stopped short. He turned.
"What is it?" she asked.
"I want to go on this one." He said pointing to the roller coaster.
Naomi swallowed.
No, it brings too many memories.
But I have to, for Inuyasha.
She forced a smile and they climbed onto the seats.
"Put your seat belt on." Naomi instructed.
Inuyasha obeyed.
They actually had a good time even through all the loops they shared the fun together.
Maybe he's better of this way? She wondered. But shook the thoughts from her head.
No matter how behaved he is now, I still love the old Inuyasha.
"This was fun." He said climbing back into the car.
"It was nothing." She said, starting the car.
"But it was." He touched her lap.
Naomi blushed. "I promised I'd help you."
When they got back home, Naomi parked the car in the garage and they went into her backyard.
"Why?" Inuyasha asked. "What's behind here?"
"Something fun."
She opened the fence door and looked in. She saw her pool and beside it was a trampoline. She giggled and dragged Inuyasha onto it. He tried to stand up, but his legs were wobbly.
"Jump Inuyasha!" she cried.
Inuyasha looked confused, then he took a small jump and kept jumping. Naomi joined him. Happy laughter was in the air.
This just might work out, she thought.
"See who can jump the highest!" she called and took a strong jump and went three meters in the air.
Inuyasha smiled. He concentrated and jumped. He went about three miles into the air.
He landed and had a weird expression on his face.
"Wow Inuyasha!" she breathed. "I didn't know you could jump that high!"
"Me either."
Naomi narrowed her eyes as she remembered Kagome saying that he was a half demon.
Maybe that's why.
She turned to him and they kept jumping.
Inuyasha took another high jump. Naomi screamed as she got bounced high and landed in the pool.
"Naomi!" he cried and dived in after her.
He reached for her and brought her to the surface of the water.
Naomi's head shot out. She took a loud breath and swam over to Inuyasha.
"Naomi!" he cried. "Are you okay?"
Naomi didn't respond. She looked at him with watering eyes.
"Naomi? What's wrong?"
She let out a shriek of joy and went over to hug Inuyasha.
"What are you doing?"
"My name...." she rasped. "I never told you my name." (Me: Hey, she didn't.)
Inuyasha gasped.
"You remembered! You remembered my name!"
#%#%#%
Me: Yessssss!! He remembered!!
Inuyasha: YAAAAY!!!!
Yugi: WEEEEEEOOO!!
Yami: Damn.
