Sorry about the cliffhanger, but it is nessesery. Wish I had something more interesting to say, but nobody will give me a reveiw. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm........

DISCLAIMER: I dont own Inuyasha.

Kagome saw the strange boy slumped against the tree, and heard people calling, and knew they were looking for him. But why was he sleeping in the middle of the day when people were looking for him? Kagome shook her head. It was too confusing. She tried to stop thinking about it as she began to work.

She tore the strips off of the kimono that man called Naraku had given her, and made them into bandages for his arm which was torn and bloody. She laid him on the ground, and noticed there had been a branch poking into his back. The boy moved slightly, and Kagome knew he was about to wake.

"Inuyasha! INUYASHA!!!!"

Kagome heard the strange, unfamiliar voices of those who, if she could only remember it, had once been her friends, and she backed into the bushes to watch.

A girl with a boomerang on her back, a huge one, had seen Inuyasha, who was still unconcious, but not for long."Inuyasha!!! Houshi-sama, I found him!" A jangle of rings on a staff told Kagome they were coming. They?

"Sango! Couldnt you just once call me Miroku?!"

"All right , Fine. Whatever. Just GET OVER HERE!"

In all the noise, Inuyasha (for that, Kagome now knew, was his name) woke.

Inuyasha opened his eyes, and blinked. Standing over him was Miroku, Sango, and even little shippou. There was an immeadiate onslaught of questions.

"How did you get those wounds?"

"

Did you find Kagome?"

"Why are you lying on the ground?" Shippou, of course. Inuyasha sat up, and then the events of the night rushed back to him.

"Kagome!", He howled in anguish, jumping to his feet. The otheres stared at him. They were not used to such emotional outbursts. Oh DDDD, Kagome. How did this happen to you?! Tears filled his eyes. Oh not now! He thought rather desperatly. His was suddenly assaulted by questions of What happened to Kagome?And things like that.

And- wait. Wait. Kagome! He started towards the bushes, and saw a pair of eyes stare back. It was kagome. She made an odd squeaking noise, but held stock still.

"Kagome!?" Sango asked eagerly. Then Kagome understood. They were her friends. Emphasis on WERE. Kagome no longer knew them.

Then kagome had a real laugh when Miroku started rubbing Sangos, erm, Backside. Sango froze. Miroku made to flee, but Sango was to quick for him. Before Miroku knew what was happening, there was a sharp crack, and a red hand mark was burning on his face."Hmph."

Suddenly Kagome realized why Inuyasha had reacted like this. He must have loved me. But he was clearly a demon! In confusion as well as sadness, Kagome collapsed, sobbing, and Inuyasha put his arms arond her.

Inuyasha was not sure what had happened in Kagomes mind, But as he held her, and as she cried, he never wanted to let go. Who had done this to Kagome? His Kagome. He had loved Kikyo, but nothing, ever, was like this.

Inuyasha gave himself a mental slap on both cheeks. It was Naraku. Naraku. His eyes filled with hate, as Kagome clung desperatly to him. Naraku. He vowed, I will kill you if it is the last thing I ever do. To be continued......
