Chapter 5: Grandmother or Illusion

After Kouga's attempt, Inuyasha us determined to stay on the trail.

"We have to Find Lady Keade." Inuyasha says looking around the area. "She's usually easy to find."

"Well I that hut up there is usually where she hangs out." Sango says pointing in the direction.

"Almost missed that." Inuyasha says as they walk towards it. Once they get to the area, Lady Keade steps outside to gather some tea leave. Before she gets the field, She sees 4 familiar figures. They all come in close range of the woman.

"Hello Lady Keade. We are in need of your assistance." Sango says polity.

"Of course child. What seems to be ye's problem?" Keade says looking at the group.

"Well Kagome lost her memory." Inuyasha says turning to Kagome.

"How did she do that?" Keade asks.

"Well we were in a fight here with a dog demon and he must have hit her and she felt the impact." Inuyasha says. "Tell me you can help us."

"Well of course I can try, not guaranteeing that ye will do a good job." Keade says going up to Kagome.

"Kagome, this is Lady Keade." Miroku says.

"Hello my name is Kagome." Kagome says looking at the old woman.

"She's old enough to be your grandmother." Miroku says, now following a hit from Sango.

"You're my grandmother?" Kagome asks confused.

"No I'm not ye's grandmother." Keade says now glaring at Miroku.

"Miroku you're such an idiot. You know every time you say something, knowing how Kagome's memory is, she'll think it's for real." Inuyasha says walking up to him and also giving him a pop to the head.

"Ok enough with the smacking." Miroku says rubbing his head and sitting down.

"Kagome, do you know who I am?" Keade asks as Kagome nods.

"No I don't." Kagome says looking at her in confusion.

"D you know where ye is at this point in time?" Keade asks as Kagome looks around.

"No I don't." Kagome says turning back to her.

"This is worst then I though it would be. How are was the hit?" Keade asks looking at Inuyasha.

"Must have been a sonic Impact." Inuyasha says shrugging.

"The only way to get her memory back, in my opinion, would be for her to take the same impact as before." Keade says.

"Keade, wouldn't that kill her?" Sango asks looking scared.

"I mean that may end up making her worst off then before, maybe even a comma." Miroku says now bracing for impact.

"He actually makes some sense." Inuyasha says. "I mean is she takes the hit again she may die this time. She was lucky to loose her memory this time."

"That's my opinion." Keade says now turning towards the field to gather the leaves.

"Any other Ideas?" Sango asks.

"Well Keep going around things you know she is familiar with and see if that works and if it doesn't, then that's my last option."

Sango turns to Inuyasha, who turns to Kagome.

"I say familiarizing, but after that and if that doesn't work, then we have to go into battle." Inuyasha says walking up to Kagome. "Kagome, we are taking you home ok?"

"Home?" Kagome asks. "Where is that?"

"You'll see." Inuyasha says as they turn in the direction of the well. "Thanks for nothing Keade."

"Ye is always welcome to come back." Keade says now gathering the rest of her leaves.

The 4 walk away from the hut and towards the well.

"She was some help Inuyasha. She's not a miracle worker." Sango says turning to Inuyasha.

"Yeah well not help enough." Inuyasha says as they all reach the well. Inuyasha helps Kagome through it first and then the rest pass through.

Modern Day*

Everybody has passed through the well and is now back on the other side.

"Finally home." Inuyasha says looking at Kagome's house.

"Why are we back at this place you call my house again?" Kagome asks turning to Inuyasha.

"It's your home." Sango says. "You live here."

"I do?" Kagome asks looking at the back part. "I don't remember being here at all."

"Because you're use to being on the inside." Inuyasha says now leading them to the house. Once they reach the back door, Souta comes from the shed.

"Kagome, Inuyasha, you're back." Souta says running up to them. "How did it go?"

"Still nothing." Inuyasha says now seeing the disappointed look on Souta's face.

"I'm sorry Souta we tried everything nearly." Sango says. "You just have to get her memory back. If my mom finds out that she got hurt in battle, she may not let her back over there." Souta says trying to conceal his tears.

"By the way is she home?" Inuyasha asks.

"Um yeah she is and was hoping she would be back to normal before then." Souta says walking up to Kagome.

"Sis I'm scared." Souta says looking up at her.

"My name is Kagome." Kagome says looking down at him. "And don't worry little boy, everything will be ok for whatever you're sad about."

Souta let's go of Kagome and stand silent.

"What's wrong Souta?" Sango asks looking at the Idol figure.

Souta says nothing, but goes to the shed. He grabs a metal bat. He comes back up to Kagome.

"Forgive me Kagome." Souta says raising the bat. "Don't hate me after this."

Souta gets in position and swings the bat, but Inuyasha stops it before it's an inch from her face.

"What the hell are you doing?" Inuyasha yells grabbing the bat.

"I'm trying to knock some sense in her head." Souta says as he begins crying. "I HATE SEEING HER THIS WAY."

Everyone watches as Souta runs in the house and slams the door behind him.

"Didn't expect that." Miroku says breaking the silence.

Inuyasha drops the bat and walks up to Kagome.

"You have to remember something." Inuyasha says looking in her face.

"I remember Inuyasha, Kagome and Souta and I just learned that I have a grandmother in that place we just left." Kagome says thinking.

"She's not your grandmother." Inuyasha says." Miroku said that out of pure idiocy."

"Oh well. I'm kinda hungry." Kagome says smiling.

"I'm surprised you even know when you're hungry." Inuyasha says leading them inside the house. Once they get in there, the kitchen area is clear so they make their way up the stairs to her room, without her mom seeing them.

You could have sworn taking her to see Kouga or Keade would work, but didn't. I wonder what will happen next. Will their next chance get her memory back?

Well review and thanks.
