Disclaimer: I don't not own Inuyasha. Think about that for a while.
Okey dokey, y'all. It is I again, returning from an unbelievably long hiatus. Um, I know that y'all want a good reason as to WHY I was gone so long. But I don't really have a good one except for the fact that I'm a lazy bum and the writing gods threw a writer's block at my head (there's still a bump there. Hahaha I'm so funny! Did you get that subtle humor in there?) and I've just become conscious again. I hope that none of y'all made voodoo dolls of me for revenge.
Anyways, here's chapter numbah 5, I think. I really don't know and if any of y'all care to find out then review and tell me because I don't know how to find out. Oh, and I have review responses at the end of the chappie. If you'd like to read them before reading the story, then scroll down and then back up here.
Disclaimer (2) : I do not own the band Weezer. I own their self-titled cd, though. I got it in Canada this summer at some weird shop that had a bunch of cds that nobody wanted to buy for the past 10 years on sale for 5 dollars Canadian, which is really cheap. If anybody knows what that is in American dollars, tell me in a review. Anyways, the store was doing what Walmart does and stuck maybe 500 cds in one huge cardboard box and I literally had to jump in and now I have this whole collection of crappy cds. Except I like this Weezer cd and that's why I'm putting one of their songs in this ongoing saga type fic.
Okies, the last chappie ended something like this (well, actually it ended exactly like this)…
Kagome never noticed the burst of energy when the village turned into a clearing and Inuyasha's attacker revealed itself. She continued on, oblivious…
Um, I realize that that WAS an extremely evil cliffhanger to leave y'all on for half a month…and if you DID make voodoo dolls of me, then I completely understand.
I think I've said this before but here is chapter numba 5, entitled " The World Has Turned And Left Me Here". Sad, isn't it?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha groggily woke up. He looked around him, and stared at his surroundings. He had no memory of ever coming to such a dreary place. It was misty and gray all around him. If he stared too long at the floor, it began to shift and sway. Inuyasha closed his eyes, desperately trying to remember how he got here. He remembered a village in the middle of a forest, but nothing after that. Forcing himself to think, he opened his eyes to take a better look around. Truth be told, he had never seen a place like this in all his life. His hands and feet were not tied, so he began to explore. Turning his head, something black swished into his field of vision. He tried to flex his claws against this attacker, but he had no claws. And the something black was his hair. "Oh, shit," he said softly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I just made love with your sweet memory
A thousand times in my head
You said you loved it more than anything
You said…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha sat down hard. In his human state, there would hardly be any way for him to escape, let alone fight his captors. And where was Kagome? Was she safe? Did she know that he had been captured? Remembering Kagome brought a whole new flood of thoughts back into his head. He laid down and closed his eyes, allowing her memory to flow through his mind. Everything that he had tried and tried to forget about her came back to him and stayed. It was in that moment that he realized that as much as he tried, leaving her and erasing her would never be something that he could do voluntarily. With that reassuring thought, he drifted off to sleep.

It had been three days since Inuyasha had regained consciousness, and he was still in his human form. The landscape never changed from its mistiness and he had even ventured out to see if it ever did change and he might recognize the land. It was as if he never even went anywhere, because everything stayed monotone and dreary. Nobody came to him and he wondered at the lack of food. He hadn't eaten in at least three days but he was never hungry. He thought about how Kagome was doing. She had not been well when he disappeared but she was with Miroku and Sango who, though he didn't like to admit it, were more than capable of protecting themselves and Kagome. Still, he didn't like being gone for so long and started feeling uneasy at leaving Kagome alone with that monk. Inuyasha got up from his meditative pose and began walking in the opposite direction from the one that he had walked in the other day. Perhaps this was the way back to the forest.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I talked for hours to your wallet photograph
And you just listened
You laughed, enchanted by my intellect
Or maybe you didn't
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha had been walking for a day and a half without any sleep. There was no sign of change in his surroundings. He was becoming delirious with weariness. His human body needed rest but Inuyasha wasn't going to rest until he found his way back home. He had started to talk to himself and when he saw Kagome appear at his side with him he had started talking to her. At first, she laughed and seemed to hang on to his every word. But when she took over the conversation, she said the oddest things, things Kagome would never say to him. She told him that she had found somebody new and that she was done with Inuyasha. She told Inuyasha that he should just forget about her. She told him that he should lie down and just go to sleep. That was just before she vanished into the mist. Inuyasha stared at the place where he was sure that she had stood a second ago. He blinked twice and then collapsed in a state of exhaustion.

When Inuyasha woke up, it was not in the land of mist that he had spent the last four or five days in. He woke up in a small clearing in his forest instead. He shook his head and wondered if it had all been a dream. He stood up and brushed off his haori. There was something that he should be remembering, no, somebody that he should remember. As hard as he thought, he couldn't picture a face and soon gave up trying. Shrugging away what must have been part of his bizarre dream, he leaped into a nearby tree and started a patrol to see if he could find something to eat.

Okies, if none of y'all caught on to that, HE DOESN'T REMEMBER WHO KAGOME IS! Just making sure that all of y'all got that. Oh, no! What's going to happen? Honestly, I have no idea. Right now I'm deliberating as to whether or not to kill somebody off. But oh well. I think I moved the story along in this chappie. I know that the lyrics don't exactly fit the storyline in the beginning of the fic, but they all mesh at the end, right? Yay for me! Alrighty, here's all my review responses…
Depressed-girl001 : here's your update! Thank you so muchly for liking my story! (does signature dance in socks)
Bazooie : hey you! Um, sorry, but the attacker is NOT a peanut. Sorry. What is the name of the Robin Hood movie you were watching? Can I watch it? Now I will stop responding…now. Now. Psyche! Now. :D
Brekke rider of gold Wirenth : why thank you, my fellow excrement head (which you misspelled, by the way). Please refrain from using reviews to advertise your own stories. I get this happy little email and I'm like "yay! Email!" and all it is is an ad for another story that I've already read. And I'm working on the bananas in pajamas thing. My story is just a little too angsty at the moment for that song…
Lyerial : oh, thank you muchly! Nobody ever says anything about my name. I figger that they just ignore my little bits of oddityness. Yep, I had fun helping the homeless. They're nice people. Well, some of them. Sorry I haven't updated sooner…
All righty, that's that. Read and review soon please! And remember to stay on the lookout for happy songs for me! Happy happy happy! Now, I gots to go, but remember this..
Reading + no reviewing = Saturday detentions!
So get reviewing! Muchas gracias!
