Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters, fortunately for me,
neither do you, HA HA HA!!....
A/N: I just want to say I'M SORRY for not writing for so long, but it was nearing the end of term and I really needed to concentrate on my schoolwork. Plus I have a mental block (any ideas?!?) But I'm back on track and have a long weekend so I'll hopefully crank out two or three. Unfortunately this one won't be too long (my others will) but I wanted to get this out there before you thought I forgot about you.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Back to Before ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha woke up early the next morning with a headache. He sat up drowsily and swung his feet over the edge of the bed. His feet hit the cold wood and he shivered. For several minutes he just sat there trying to remember how he got the bump on his head, or how he had even gotten home. He remembered going to the pond, and he remembered Sessho-maru freaking out and hitting him. 'I must have bee knocked unconscious and he brought me home' Inuyasha thought. Something told him he was wrong.
~*~
A slight breeze caused Kagome to shiver and wake up. She looked around blurry-eyed at her surroundings. Suddenly she noticed she wasn't wearing anything and screamed. She grabbed for a nearby blanket and wrapped it around her. Then she blushed. She then remembered every detail of the previous night. 'That was wonderful' she thought, and blushed deeper. 'I wonder where he went off to.'
She found her clothes in a corner and put them on then headed out the cave.
She walked on the forest path in the direction of Inuyasha's house. When she reached the door she hesitated to knock. It was too quiet and still by his house. 'Something seems wrong,' she thought, but brushed aside the thought. 'It's early, no one is probably up yet.'
Kagome knocked at the door, the sound of her knocks echoed off the nearby forest. She jumped as the door creaked open. There Inuyasha stood looking disheveled and tired. She tentatively smiled at him. He looked confused but smiled back.
"Kagome. what are you doing her?" he said as he pushed aside the door, inviting her in.
"Oh, I just wanted to see what you were up to." She said. As she passed she put her hand on his arm and let it slide off. He twitched and backed off a bit. 'What the HELL is going on here!?!' he thought.
Kagome looked a little taken aback. "What's wrong, Inuyasha? You weren't afraid of me last night." She smiled shyly at him and looked down at the ground.
"Wha.what happened last night?" he was almost afraid to ask.
Kagome stopped smiling and it looked like a bomb was about to go off in her. "What do you mean 'what happened last night'?" she asked with a syrupy voice masking pure anger.
Tick.
Tick.
Tick.
"I.I don't know what you mean. At the dance?" Inuyasha tried to make sense of what she was saying.
Boom.
"INUYASHA!!!HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?!?" Kagome screamed at him. Her hand flew up and slapped him across the face before he had time to react.
"Hey! What'd you do that for?!?" He shouted back, while protecting his stinging cheek.
"Last night you said you loved me and THEN you seduced me. HOW CAN YOU NOT REMEMBER THAT?!?!" She looked close to tears.
Inuyasha hated seeing her like this; but as hard as he tried he just couldn't remember any of last night past being knocked out. 'Wait a second.'
"Did.(gulp) Did you just say I .?" he couldn't finish his sentence.
"Yes, okay?" she broke into tears and ran from him.
He reached out and grabbed her arm. "Kagome! I'm sorry, but that wasn't me. I don't know who that was, but last night that couldn't have been me. I was knocked out by my brother and cant remember anything afterwards. I don't even know how I got home! I'm sorry for what you thought, or lost.. But that wasn't me." he dropped her arm.
She dropped to the ground, stunned. A twig broke behind Inuyasha and he turned.
He saw his mom standing there. Then she was gone in a flicker and he heard Naraku's deep, malicious laugh. He tensed up and looked around. Far off he hear his mom's voice calling to him. He ran in the house and slipped on his red pants and white and red shirt. Then he belted his sword on his hip and ran outside. "Shippo!" he called over his shoulder. Momentarily the little fox demon appeared, wiping the sleep from his eyes.
Inuyasha ran to Kagome and picked her up. He put her on his back and asked, "where do you live?" as gently as he could. She answered with barely a voice and half a heart. He bounded off towards her house.
~*~
When they got there, he jumped up to her window and she crawled out and into her room. He started to leave but she told him to wait. "Whatever you're doing I want to come with. I want to get to the bottom of this." She was too determined for him to stop, so he just sighed and jumped to the ground while she changed into blue jeans and a t-shirt.
When she came out the door they started to leave, but were stopped halfway down the driveway by Sango and Miroku.
Sango ran to Kagome, "Where have you been? We've been searching all night!! Are you okay?" She hurtled her questions at Kagome.
"I'm fine," was all she said. Sango didn't look satisfied but decided not to press it.
"Well, we'd love to stay and chat, but we have to go," Inuyasha said, grabbing Kagome's arm.
"We're coming with," Sango said, imitating Inuyasha and grabbing Miroku's arm; he didn't seem to mind how rough she was.
Inuyasha started to protest but she gave him a death glare and he just mumbled off.
The five of them headed off to the woods.
'I have to get to her' Inuyasha thought. 'I don't know what's going on around here, but I know that bastard Naraku is behind it.' Inuyasha knew what he had to do, and set off to where it all began.

A/N: I know you're all scratching your heads right now, but bear with me. It will become clear in a few chapters. Sorry this is so short. I'm writing the next one tomorrow. Thanks for sticking with me!!
