Author's Notes: Bwahaha, I loved that cliffy. I'm sure you guys did too. . Anyhow, lets see what's going on. I'd just like to say one quick thing.. chapter 21 to this story is a MAJOR cliffy. I mean like, major major. So just a fair warning in advance.

To TheUltimatePrankster: How many people? Oh jeez, a hell of alot. At the end of the story I'll count 'em all up and dedicate the last chapter to them.

To LynneC114: You'll see -exactly- what Sessy has to do with this story in this chapter! He finally is in the spotlight now! I said earlier he plays a major role, also.

To My 700th Reviewer Ray12304: Yayzers! Thanks so much! -huggles and hands pocky- Um.. has anyone noticed.. I'm close to 1000? O.O If I get to 1000.. omg, it'll be WONDERFUL. If I do, I'll do something for you guys in return.. hm.. how about an epilogue of sorts? Yeah! If I get to 1000 I'll make an epilogue. If not.. I still love you all!

To Bishie Chaser: If you go back and look at my other chapters, you'll see why I hate them. Sorry, but I'm lazy right now and don't feel like typing it all out.. lol.

On with the story now.

On her way there, she pulled out her cellphone again and wrote a reply.

Hello,
Yes it has indeed been awhile, and there's so much I want to tell yo--..

She was cut off when her cellphone rang. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw it was the same number that had left the text message. She hesitantly answered it, "H-hello..?"

"Kagome?" The voice spoke gently on the other line. It was him! It was his voice! He was calling her! After all these years.. the reputation.. it finally paid off!

"..this is Inuyasha's older brother, Sesshomaru."

Huh?

Hell's Angel

Take Seventeen

The Reason

I'm not a perfect person, there are many things I wish I didn't do.
But I continue learning, I never meant to do those things to you.
I'm sorry that I hurt you, its something I must live with everyday.
And all the pain I put you through, I wish that I could take it all away and be the one who catches all your tears.
That's why I need you to hear..

I've found a reason for me to change who I used to be, a reason to start over new, and the reason is you.
I've found a reason to show a side of me you didn't know, a reason for all that I do, and the reason is you.

"S-sesshomaru?" Now this is where her mind just gave up trying to understand everything. Why he Sesshomaru calling her? Why did he message her that text letter?

"Kagome.. is Inuyasha with you?"

Sango stopped in front of Kagome's house, and she just ran inside, taking out a spare key and unlocking the door. Sango huffed jokingly, "She didn't even say thanks.. well, I'll ask her tomorrow. Tomorrow.. is the big day." Everyone else went off to their own houses. But what ever happened to Inuyasha?

---

"Sesshomaru.." Was all Kagome could muster up to say.

"Kagome, sit down. I'll be there in a moment." Now she could say something. "What the hell? Why are you coming to my house? How do you know where I live? What do you want? Why are you..--"

"Shut up! Ask questions later." Sesshomaru hung up. Kagome put her cellphone down and then heard a knock at her door. She growled.

She went back downstairs and opened the door. Lo and behold, there the tall college boy stood. Sesshomaru. "Kagome.. where is Inuyasha?" He asked again. She said she didn't know, then he asked, "May I come in?"

She nodded dumbly and let him inside.

---

After about ten minutes, Kagome and Sesshomaru were sitting at the kitchen table sipping glasses of water. Sesshomaru spoke first, "I need to talk to him.."

Kagome was confused. First off, was it him who sent the letter? Second, where was Inuyasha? "I think he might be here. Hiding." Sesshomaru said.

Kagome's heart skipped a beat. Was he stalking her? She was nervous. Sesshomaru looked over at Kagome seriously, "He's outside."

"How would you know that?" She asked, dumbly. He wasn't psychic or anything.

"I can feel it." He walked outside into Kagome's backyard and looked up into the tallest tree. "Inuyasha, get your ass down here."

He heard a ruffle in the trees then a figure jump down in front of him, "I thought you were here." Inuyasha huffed and looked off to the side.

"What do you want?" He glared at his elder brother, "Your supposed to be in college."

Sesshomaru quickly went behind Inuyasha and pushed his fist into a pressure point on the back of Inuyasha's neck. Kagome gasped and watched the scene before her, helpless. Sesshomaru looked over to Kagome and picked Inuyasha up. "He'll be fine. This would be the only way I can get him to come with me."

With that he got back in his car with Inuyasha, leaving a very perplexed Kagome.

---

Silence overcame the pair as they glared numbly at each other. A low growl came from Inuyasha as he spoke, "What the hell do you want?"

Sesshomaru had tied him to the chair Inuyasha was now sitting in so he would listen to what Sesshomaru had to say. "We need to talk."

"Damn right we do, what the fuck are you doing?" Sesshomaru walked over and calmly punched him in the stomach.

"I want you to listen to me, and listen to me good. Understand?" Inuyasha painfully nodded. "I saw the news today.." He began.

"That girl. Kagome.." Sesshomaru sat back down and looked in Inuyasha's eyes, "Do you ever feel any weird connection to her?"

Like hell Inuyasha was going to tell him the truth, "No." Sesshomaru slapped him, "I can tell when your lying. I want the truth. The whole fucking truth." Inuyasha cringed at the pain that was on his now red cheek.

Well maybe a little bit of the truth would be alright. "Yes." Sesshomaru nodded, "Cooperate with me, and you'll be rewarded in the end." 'Now what did he mean by that?' Inuyasha wondered.

"Do you feel anything for that woman?" Sesshomaru asked. Inuyasha's face turned a light tint of pink as he looked down at the floor, "Yes.." He mumbled lightly.

"Does she seem familiar to you in anyway?" Another question Inuyasha had a yes answer to. "..maybe." Sesshomaru slapped his other cheek, "Don't play games with me, little brother."

"Fine, yes! She does! What is going on? What is up with all these questions?" Sesshomaru sighed. It was time.

"Inuyasha.." He began warily. "..do you remember a little girl? Thirteen years old? Europe?" Inuyasha thought for a moment, then nodded dumbly.

Sesshomaru sighed and got up, "Wait here." Inuyasha growled, "I can't move anyway!" Sesshomaru glared and left the room.

About five minutes later he came back with a small wooden box. "What's in here.. is your past." Inuyasha was puzzled. Alright, that was it. What the fuck was going on here? "..this is very risky."

Sesshomaru thought for a moment, then looked at Inuyasha seriously. "I know you've been encountering weird moments in your life that you don't think you've had before. The doctor said it would happen around this age." 'Doctor?' Inuyasha was having the most confused moment of his life.

"Doctor?" He asked a loud. Sesshomaru nodded, "Doctor. Do you remember when we used to live in Europe?" Inuyasha nodded; he was born in Japan, moved to Europe, then moved back to Japan. "Well.. you know that we were adopted, and then they took us back to Japan. Correct?" He nodded once again. "..you see.. you met a little girl here before we moved to Europe.."

Inuyasha nodded, "So what? I met a girl. Big deal." Sesshomaru continued hesitantly, "..named Kagome."

His heart stopped.

"..Kagome, the Kagome you know today."

Something was going on.

"We left her. As soon as we got to Europe, you began having.. problems."

Problems?

"..Inuyasha, you.. your memories.."

Memories?

"You had them erased of her because you were in so much pain."

E..rased?
