Chapter 2 -
Who Are You?
"Um, do I know you people?" Kagome asked.
All of their faces held utter shock and confusion. The girl came up and sat on the bed facing Kagome.
"Kagome, it's me, your sister. I can't believe the drugs they've injected into you." She said wiping the tears away. Kagome continued to stare at the girl. Kagome didn't have a sister, and she'd never seen this girl in her life.
"Um, I don't have a sister. I never had one." At these words the girl froze from wiping her tears and stared at Kagome. "I don't know how you know my name, but I've never seen you before. Where's my mom? Shouldn't she be here instead?"
The girl continued to stare at her looking confused. She turned and looked at the others. They shrugged. "Kagome. I'm your sister, Sango, what's wrong with you?"
Kagome shook her head. "No . . . " The girl, now dubbed as Sango, took Kagome's hands in hers and looked at Kagome intently. "Kagome, please - please, look me in the eye and tell me you know who I am . . . " Kagome didn't want to make the girl cry anymore than she already had, but she didn't know what else to do.
"I really don't know who you are. I'm sorry . . ." Sango continued to stare at Kagome ignoring the tears falling from her eyes. "Do you know if someone else is here for me? Like my mom, she-"
"Kagome," Sango broke in."Our parents were killed by Naraku a long time ago . . ." Sango stood and walked swiftly to the door wiping the tears from her eyes. "I'm going to go get the doctor." She said before closing the door.
"Kagome? What's wrong? How come you're acting like you don't know Sango?" The little boy asked as he hopped back on the bed.
"Shippo, I think Kagome has something called amnesia." The young man with the short ponytail answered. He walked over to Kagome, his staff jingling all the way, and smiled warmheartedly. "Kagome, I am Miroku, a long-time friend of yours and Sango's."
"Hi?" Kagome said unsurely. "Um, I don't think I have amnesia, you see I remember things perfectly. I was walking home from school and -" she was cut off by the door opening. Sango and a brisk-looking doctor walked in carrying a clipboard. " . . . and she doesn't know who I am, we've known each other since she was born! Did she hit her head or something?"
The doctor went to the end of Kagome's bed and lifted a clipboard from the holder it was in. "Mmm . . . Severely damaged ribs, excessive blood loss, and torn ligaments . . . " The doctor scanned the clip board, listened with horror. "I don't see anything on here about a bruise or a knock to the head . . . Although, she might have hit her head, it's too late to tell now; if it were a serious bump, it would have shown, but if it were a little one, the swelling would have gone down completely by now. Other than that, she'll be perfectly healthy once she's had plenty of rest."
"But what about her memory?" Sango asked worriedly.
"Hmm," the doctor rubbed his chin thoughtfully."Either it will come back in time, or it will be permanent. And since we don't know what the cause of it is, we can't tell you for sure."
Sango lowered her head and thanked the doctor before he left the room to leave them to their devices. Sango walked back to her chair and plopped down in it. She looked up at Kagome."So, um, I'm Sango, Kagome." She said shakily. "I'm your sister." She took Kagome's hand in hers. Kagome was screaming in her head.
"I do not have a sister! Who are you people? WHERE exactly am I?" she shouted.
"Kagome, please do not get too excited, your blood can't take it." Miroku warned.
'Okay, there is no way these people are going to believe me. I guess I'll have to play along until I find out some more . . . ' Kagome let out a huff and sat back. "Okay, you're my sister, and he's an old friend," she nodded at Miroku."Right?" Sango nodded. "So, who exactly are these two?" Kagome looked in Shippo's direction. She petted Kirara's head, and Kirara purred.
"This is Kirara, we found her in an animal trap when we were five. She protects us. And he is Shippo, he's a fox demon - "
"A demon? Demons aren't real . . . right?"
"No, in this world demons are very real. In fact, they live just like humans do, or, at least, some of them do . . . Shippo is Inuyasha's little cousin."
Kagome looked up from playing with Shippo's tail."Who's Inuyasha?"
Suddenly, the silver-haired boy got up and walked out the room, his bangs hiding his expression on his face.
"That's Inuyasha." Sango said sadly eyeing the door.
"I'll go Sango." Miroku offered as he moved to and out the door as well.
"What wrong with him?" Kagome asked.
@-]------------
Inuyasha was leaning against the waiting room wall when Miroku sidled up and stood next to him, staff in hand. No one was in the room, save for a man sitting asleep in a corner and the clerks at the desk. They were both silent for a long time.
"How could she not remember?" Inuyasha finally asked breaking the silence.
"Things happen Inuyasha."
"But not to Kagome! She was innocent. She didn't do anything to deserve that!"
Another moment of silence.
"You still feel guilty, don't you Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha flinched slightly at the word. 'Guilty . . . I'm guilty.' Unwanted flashbacks came flooding into his mind.
~Flashback~
Kagome came running up Inuyasha, waving. He was waiting in the park under a tree for her. She stopped in front of him.
"So, what did you want to talk about so badly?" she asked, hands folded behind her back.
"C'mon." He gestured for her to follow him along the park path as he put his hands in his coat pockets. They walked in silence for a long while, while Kagome was giving him looks.
"Inuyasha?" she asked.
He smiled down at her."We're almost there."
Pretty soon, they came up to the giant park fountain.
"What's so special about this?" she asked.
"Everything." Inuyasha replied. He sat on the edge of the fountain and patted the seat next to him. She sighed and went to sit down.
"So, now what?"
"Listen," he said. " . . . I don't like that creep Koga."
Kagome almost fell into the fountain. "THAT'S what we came all the way here for?" she asked looming over him.
"Well, yeah, why else would I ask you to come?"
Kagome let out a grunt of frustration."Look, I don't care if you don't like Koga; that won't stop me from being his friend. And what do you care anyway?"
Inuyasha looked taken aback."Hey, I'm just watching out for YOUR safety! I don't trust the guy, he's always hanging around you like a brain- dead zombie, and always calling you his woman." He crossed his arms and huffed.
Kagome put her hands on her hips." . . . You're jealous, aren't you?"
This time Inuyasha almost fell into the pool."What?! Me jealous of that flea-ridden wolf?! You must be crazy!"
"You're jealousy won't get you anywhere Inuaysha."
"I am not jealous, wench!"
Soon, they both got into a long, heated argument about demons, humans, and how demons always have to save humans.
"Well fine! You don't have to be around to protect poor, little Kagome anymore, you jealous mutt!" she said walking off.
"I won't!" he yelled angrily turning the opposite way and storming off."Soon you'll need me, and I won't be there to help you!"
~End Flashback~
"It isn't your fault Inuyasha." Miroku's words snapped him out of his reverie. Inuyasha looked up at him."Though, I would suggest that that was in the past, and you have to help Kagome remember now."
Miroku shifted his feet and headed back to Kagome's room.
'Easy for him to say. He wasn't there . . . He didn't see . . . He doesn't feel ashamed . . . '
~Continuation of Flashback~
Inuyasha had stopped before a bench. 'I shouldn't have argued with Kagome . . . Or else she'll just go run to that wimpy wolf . . . Better go apologize so she won't ignore me tomorrow.' He turned around and walked back to the fountain, then down the way he'd originally come with Kagome. Suddenly, he stopped. He sniffed the air. 'Blood . . . ' but he recognized it. Inuyasha's eyes widened and he broke out into a frantic bolt down the park pathway. He skidded to a halt in front of the tree he'd met Kagome at. Kagome lay at her side, eyes devoid of any life; fresh blood pouring through the claw-marked wound on her other side.
A sloth demon was perched over her, about to devour her when it paused in its wake upon seeing Inuyasha. Kagome's blood was dripping from its massive claws. Inuyasha growled.
"You bastard . . . " he jumped up in the air and, in one sweep of his claws, killed the demon without getting a drop of its blood on his claws. Inuyasha turned his attention on Kagome. He dropped to her side and touched her face; it was pale and cool - not a good thing. He reached in his pocket and pulled out his vid-phone. He punched in the emergency medical's number and told them to come to the park immediately, then he punched in Sango's number. Her face came up on the screen, her faced etched with worry.
"Oh, Inuyasha, is Kagome with you? She hasn't called or left a note or anything."
"Sango," he breathed."Meet me at the hospital, Kagome's hurt . . . "
Sango's worried face disappeared as she hung the vid-phone up. Inuyasha closed his and returned it to his pocket. He took his jacket off and laid it over Kagome's almost lifeless form. 'I'm sorry Kagome.' He hung his head in shame. 'I'm sorry . . . '
~End Continuation of Flashback~
Inuyasha let his back slide down the wall as he slumped to the floor. 'It's my fault.' He thought drawing his knee up to his chest and putting his elbow on it. He put his head on his arm. 'It's all my fault . . . '
A/N: Getting good, no? ^_^ I sure think so. Hmmm . . . what shall be next? ( Kiwi thinks of her next chapter ) Maybe Kagome will go to her supposed homekay? Koga might be in there, too, and maybe some of Naraku as well . . . Well, either way it goes you'll all find out about the Human-Demon Revolution soonkay? Kiwi is outie. She will see you on the flip side of thingskay? ^.^
