Chapter Three:

Memories

Kagome slowly opened her eyes. She looked around and saw her things scattered everywhere. She also noticed that her clothes seemed to be ripped and shredded, but from what she couldn't remember. Her head still pounded and her body ached, she couldn't exactly remember what had just happened. She thought back and couldn't recall anything; her mind was blank. She slowly stood up, blood rushing from her head. She looked up and saw the sky; it was dark with clouds. Lightning ripped through the sky and thunder soon followed, a sure sign that rain was coming.

Kagome began climbing out of the well when the rain started pouring down in heavy sheets. She stepped out of the well and took a good look around. She still couldn't find anything familiar to her, so she walked.

Kagome started to feel hot and dizzy. She stopped and leaned on a nearby tree. It grew hotter. Her face was red from the hot searing pain she felt all over her body. Flash backs of recent memories passed through her mind in a blur. That one, spare her. It's too dangerous, Leave now! You stupid bitch! That was all she could bear. She tore at her clothes, as to let her body cool down. Clothing particles fell to the forest floor as Kagome began to make her way awkwardly from tree to tree, stopping at each one to regain her failing balance.

She walked until she came upon a village. There were only a few people outside, hurrying to get in from the rain. When she entered the village a woman spotted her and began screaming and yelling for help. More people ran from their huts with weapons in hand. Some began firing arrows and throwing pitchforks at her so she ran. She ran faster then she had ever done before and shot out of the village.

But before Kagome could reach the villages end some unseen force knocked her down. She slowly got up and turned around to face her assailant. She saw four people standing before her, an old woman holding a bow and arrow, a man with a staff, a young woman with an extremely large boomerang, and a boy with dog ears at the top of his head holding a large sword.

The boy stepped forward, "Where did you get that shard?" He said in such a menacing voice that it made Kagome tremble.

She looked down at her neck and there laid the shikon shard. She took it in between her fingers and examined it closely; she felt some of her memory rush back into her mind. She dropped the shard and looked up to the boy who now seemed vaguely familiar.

The boy took another step forward and yelled once again, "Where the hell did you get that shard?!"

"Inuyasha," said the old woman, " I think it best you exterminate the demon now and get the jewel, and then we shall search for the lady Kagome."

Kagome said the name slowly out loud; it too seemed familiar to her. She looked down at the ground and then looked back up at her assailants. "In...u...Ya...sha, I remember..."she trailed off, each letter as it rolled off of her tongue seemed to unlock bits of her memory.

Inuyasha lowered his sword and walked closer to Kagome while the others also lowered their weapons and stared at her. She stepped back as Inuyasha neared. The rain still poured onto them while lightning lit the sky. Kagome took another step back stumbled and fell back, but before she landed on the ground Inuyasha expertly took his shirt of and quickly wrapped it around Kagome's half naked body. He examined her closely while taking in her scent. She looked and smelled familiar but Inuyasha couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Kagome looked into his golden eyes and remembered. She remembered yelling at him and running off crying but she didn't know why.

Inuyasha slowly said her name, "Kagome?"

Kagome wasn't sure why he said that since she couldn't remember anything. "Is...Is that my name?" she asked softly.

Sango quickly ran over to her, "Kagome, is it really you?"

Kagome stood wondering. She knew the name from somewhere. If these people think that her name is Kagome then maybe it is and she knows them somehow. She decided that it would probably be best if she agreed, maybe she is this Kagome, so she nodded her head.

Lady Kaede called from behind Inuyasha and Sango, "Is it the lady Kagome? Why yes, it has to be. Bring her inside."

Sango led Kagome into Kaede's hut gently by the arm and Inuyasha followed closely behind. When they arrived in the hut Kagome flopped down against a wall. Kaede walked over to her, kneeled down and examined her closely.

"What happened to you?" she asked.

Kagome looked around and then back at the lady Kaede, "I can't remember. I can't remember anything."

Kaede looked back at Inuyasha and the others, "Hmm. It seems that we were to late to save her from the poison. Her memory must have been wiped out when her body changed so dramatically. I am afraid that soon her memory will be replaced with a need to kill since now she is a Tigran, in a way.

Shippo ran over to Kagome's side from another room, "Kagome, are you ok?"

"Who...who are you?" Kagome asked the little Kitsune.

"Kagome, don't you remember me. It's me Shippo." He frantically pleaded.

"Shippo? I think I remember." Kagome's eyes widened as she put her hand to her mouth. Memories seemed to flood into her mind. She remembered the little fox Kitsune and how he seemed to always be by her side. Kagome reached and stroked Shippo's head.

Inuyasha sat in a corner and seemed not to really even care. Miroku walked over to Inuyasha and whacked him on the head with his staff.

Inuyasha jumped up, rubbing his head, "What the hell was that for?!" He was on the edge, ready to strike.

Miroku spoke calmly, "Have you no concern for Kagome's current state?"

Inuyasha's eye twitched, "I don't know, I seem to have a concussion!" He glared at Miroku and then looked at Kagome. She was smiling. That was enough for him.

Kagome suddenly jumped up and looked around, as did Inuyasha. Screams could be heard from outside. Everyone followed Inuyasha and Kagome outside. Hunters chased the village people around, frantically attacking their victims.

They only stopped when their leader, Mayhemik, slowly walked through the crowd of hunters. She didn't even seem to notice all the carnage that was taking place. She just glanced here and there and nodded approvingly to her Tigrans. The few villagers that were left saw their chance and took it, running away from the stalled Tigrans. Mayhemik stopped only a few feet away from Kagome. The Hunters following her lead, surrounded the group. She gave a cold smile before she spoke.

"Ahhh, it seems my Hunters failed at killing you. But at least they finally succeeded in changing you into my slave," she said looking to Kagome. "A strong one you are to have warded off the poison for so long. You will be a great addition to my army." She turned and looked at the rest of the group. Her cold, dark eyes glinted in the moons light.

Some of the Hunters began to growl, then they began to yelp in fear as they were thrown into the sky. At the back of the group of assembled hunters a dark figure thudded to the ground. It began to walk through the Hunters as they trembled in fear and backed as far away from her as they could. Mayhemik looked over her shoulder to see what had upset the Hunters so much. She sighed and turned around to face her oncoming assailant.

Out of the darkness came a woman. She seemed to be a demon of some sort with her claws and tail. She wore a dark blue cloak that looked as though it were made out of some sort of lizards skin. Her feet were also clawed and she walked on the tips of her feet since the back of her heels had menacing talons. Her skin, the only skin that was visible, had a light blue tint to it. Her deep red eyes gleamed with the moon's light and heavily contrasted her blue skin.

Mayhemik put her hands on her hips, "What is it you seek now, Myam?"

"You know what I seek, witch, and I will consider not killing you if you tell me what it is I want to know," Myam answered.

"Idle threats will get you no where my dear halfling. Away with you, I have business to attend to."

Myam leaned and looked at the small group standing behind Mayhemik, "Why do you now meddle in human and demon affairs? Have you had enough with us dragon folk. But I guess you would since you had to separate myself to defeat me."

"Defeating you was an easy task but now my obligations lie elsewhere." Mayhemik swiveled back around to face Kagome and the others. "Please excuse the halfling, she has no mind of her own. Now if we could get back to business." She looked to Kagome and extended her hand.

Kagome looked at Mayhemik and then to Inuyasha, she still had little memory. Mayhemik rolled her eyes in annoyance, she made a circle with her finger in the air, which turned into a mirror and showed Kagome her reflection. Kagome looked at her reflection and saw what she now was. She saw a Tigran, almost like Mayhemik herself but a little more human like. She had the same tiger stripes running along her body and the same tail. The only differences were her dark brown hair and her warmer, more loving brown eyes.

"Do you now see. You are one of us. Come sister, come so that we may rule over all these pathetic humans and demons alike," said Mayhemik enticingly.

Kagome fought hard to overrule her wanting to go with Mayhemik. Shippo ran from behind her and jumped into her arms.

"Please Kagome, don't go with her. She's a mean, psychotic freak of nature," Shippo pleaded.

Kagome looked back at the rest of the group, "Remember Kagome that you were once human," Sango added .

Miroku and Kaede nodded in agreement. Kagome then looked to Inu-Yasha who said nothing.

"I grow tired of this. Now it is time for my Fire Cats to finish what my Shredders could not," Mayhemik said . She turned to leave and saw Myam still standing and waiting. "Halfling, I have no time for you. "

Myam snarled and prepared to attack but before she could the Tigran vanished in flames, leaving Hunters and Fire Cats to finish everyone off.
