Ok, no new chapters till I get back from Canada...which will be (probably) Tuesday or Wednsday. Another thing...
Yoyo Person: I don't know which is worse. The fact that this chapter is another cliffy or that I have cliffys on literally all of my chapters...sorry...
Chapter 4
"...Oh god...he's got amnesia" whispered Sango, horrified.
Miroku turned toward Inuyasha, "since you obviously don't remember anything let me tell you our names" lifting his right hand, Miroku pointed at the person, "I'm Miroku, that's Sango, and that's Kagome" Turning around he asked, "Kagome, you wouldn't happen to have anything that could trigger his memory would you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Like toys, pictures, videos, anything like that."
"Ummm..." Kagome thought hard, then remembered the picture on the table next to her bed, "Yes...yes I do! It's in my room, wait here," she said as she ran towards and up the stairs. Seconds later she came, literally, tearing down the stairs, a framed photo in her hand.
"This is it" she gasped out, handing the picture to Miroku.
"This might work" he said, turning he showed the picture to Inuyasha, "This is you and Kagome when you were 7"(A/N remember, Inuyasha is a year older then Kag so that means she was 6)
They all watched as he looked at the picture. Kagome began to hope as a silver light blossomed in his eyes as he gazed at the picture. Suddenly the scar on his arm flashed, glowing as it grew darker and darker, turning a black-red as he jerked, and began curling in a fetal position, his body going through spasms of pain. They could only watch in horror as he writhed on the floor, whimpering in pain.
Inuyasha stared hard at the picture for a very long time when, suddenly, something light, like a silvery mist, swept through the blank whiteness of his mind, slowly pictures started to form, filling in some of the hollowness in his heart, soon the pictures began to make sense then... Oh god! My arm! As he whimpered in agony the pictures momentarily flashed across his eyes before they were immediately forgotten. A little bright eyed girl chased a little silver haired boy across a field of grass screaming, "Inuyasha! No fair! How can I tag you if you're to fast for me! Slow down!"
Then the images changed
"Bye Inuyasha!" called the girl, as he waved to her through his house window
The images changed again
He could hear someone crying out "Where's Inuyasha?" he wanted to yell here I am, but couldn't. The smoke was to thick for him to call out, only to cough. As he blacked out he felt a slender hand grab him by the back of his kimono, the owner of the hand muttered, "Finally found you half-breed. Wonder why Naraku needs you anyway." He opened his eyes with the last of his strength, and looked straight into a pair of pupil less red eyes, he stared in terror for the space of a heartbeat, then all was silent.
The memories flashed past, then were gone, seen for a moment then forgotten, but for the words, half-breed, Inuyasha, and the images of a little black haired girl, and red eyes.
Gasping his eyes shot opened, he moved his mouth but nothing came out, he tried again and whispered, "I saw the memories, but I...I lost them again" before his eyes shut
Inuyasha continued to wreath on the floor, his pupils dilated as he thrashed, his scar growing brighter and brighter. Its glow was so powerful, it seemed as if the scar was wreathing on Inuyasha's arm of it's own accord, or was it only the light? They couldn't be sure.
"Kagome!" yelled Sango as she grabbed her friend's arm, "Kagome! Look at his scar! It's growing dimmer!" They all looked at the source if Inuyasha's pain. The scar was indeed growing dimmer, and as the glow became non-existence Inuyasha's eyes shot opened and his mouth moved a little as if trying to say something, they all leaned in closer to hear what he was saying, "I saw the memories, but I...I lost them again" he whispered, then went limp from his physical exertion. Kagome just sat next to him, and held his hand. Miroku and Sango exchanged looks of pity for the pair, and watched them in silence.
"My lord Naraku" a voice came from the shadows in the doorway. The owner of the voice stepped out of the shadow she had stood in, revealing a woman about 20, her black hair tied in a low ponytail, 2 loops of black hair hung from her temples in front of her ears and swept over her shoulders to be tied into the long silky mass of hair with a white ribbon.
"What is it Kikyo?" said a voice from a shadowy figure of a man on a high backed chair.
"All is in place, Inuyasha is with my cousin, and the final decoy has been located," said Kikyo with a smug expression. She held out her hand, as she unclenched her fist, a sparkling crystallized pink ball emerged on the palm of her hand.
"Good. You are dismissed"
Kikyo bowed and strode out of the room. Naraku brought his hands together and made a steeple with his pointer and thumb fingers, and swiveled his chair around to face the darkest corner of the room and said softly, triumphantly, "your other half seems to be following orders...perfectly..."
Dundunduuunnnn! Who the hell is Naraku talking to?! Guess what? You won't find out till later! 'sticks tongue out at readers, then reflexively ducks thrown vegetables.' I'm contemplating if I should do a side story to this one. Explaining that memory with him and Kag. If you want me to start doing side stories for some of the memories (I repeat SOME) I give you glimpses off, let me know in a review and I'll do my best.
