Thanks again!

As before, I do not own Inuyasha sniff sniff

Chapter 8

Inuyasha's point of view

Ok!! Where am I? Why is it so dark here? ... Last thing I remember was that I fell down... something with what Kagome gave me... her diary. I don't understand it... can it be true that I met her before, when she was a child? Then why did she remember it and I don't?

"Filthy hanyou!!!" A voice whispered.

"grrr!! Who's there!? Show yourself!!!!"

"You don't deserve her, she is so much better then you!" said a voice that sounded so close to Inuyasha yet so far.

Inuyasha looked around himself yet couldn't see anyone, he couldn't smell them either. As he looked around he noticed that he was in a room. It was a dark room, one he didn't recognize.

"Then come and tell me that to my face and we'll see! "Inuyasha went to pull out his sword. He was shock to see it wasn't there, where was it?

"You will never change will you?" whispered the voice, as though it pitied Inuyasha

Where is he? Wait till I get my hands on him!!! He is so dead!!

"I don't need your pity" spat Inuyasha as anger filled him.

"No... no you don't... tell me this Inuyasha... do you love Kagome? Would you risk your life for her?" said the voice

Why does his voice sound familiar, it's like I heard it before... who is he?

"..." Inuyasha had no words to reply back

"Ahhh... I see then... you are afraid.... Hahahaha... you are afraid!" the voice baited him; he knew that, the question was why did he do that?

"I am not afraid of anything! Come! Face me!!! Or are you afraid of what I'll do to you!" Inuyasha stood ready for a fight; he wanted blood for what the stranger said.

"You are too blind to see the truth, tell me... tell me, how much she means to you.... Would you die for her? Would you?" The voice taunted

Inuyasha was so angry by the stranger's accusations that he spoke before he thought

"Yes dammit! I would die for her? Are you happy now? I love her too much for her to get hurt... you'll have to go thorough me if you dare touch her... so face me already... let's get this over with!" said an angered Inuyasha

No!! Why did I tell him what I thought... he can't know how I feel about Kagome... she will get hurt because of my feelings... I can't let that happen...

"Finally, the truth! Good Inuyasha good!" said the voice

Suddenly the dark room was showered in light. Inuyasha covered his sensitive eyes to the bright light. When he opened them again he noticed he was in a bright white room. In front of him was a bed and next to them was what Kagome showed him to be machines. What was he doing here he wondered. He looked around for his opponent, for the stranger who made Inuyasha speak his feelings. He noticed a figure at the door who was still surrounded in darkness.

"Keh! Face me now! I'm ready!" said Inuyasha, prepared to silence the stranger.

I won't give him the chance to hurt Kagome because of what I said, over my dead body!

The stranger slowly walked out of the darkness and into the light. When he entered the room, Inuyasha clearly saw who it was and that was what shocked him more.

"You... you're me!!! " I'm dreaming, this is a dream... that can't be me, it can't be

"Yes Inuyasha.. I am you... well, I am part of you" this Inuyasha seemed calm compared to the anger filled Inuyasha. He seemed wiser in some way.

"Lies!!!! That's not possible!" Inuyasha resisted the truth, part of him knew that this Inuyasha spoke it yet he rejected it.

"Keh! You haven't change I see, still the angered Hanyou I see. Still, I see she changed you didn't she? I see it in your eyes. She changed you like she did me. Can't you see the truth Inuyasha or do you want me to spell it out to you? I'm you! I'm you that you had to forget to protect Kagome when she was in the hospital, in this room, when she was hurt.

Inuyasha looked around the room again. It felt as though he saw it before but he couldn't clearly place the moment. It was as though the memory was at his reach yet he couldn't grasp it. He tried to remember yet every time he tried, his head would hurt. The pain was too much for him to bear as his feet crumbled. He fell down on the ground clutching his head.

"... why? ... Why can't I remember? "It was hard for Inuyasha to speak. The harder he tried to remember the more his head hurt.

The other Inuyasha slowly made his way towards him. He sat down next to Inuyasha with a sad look in his eyes as he saw himself.

"You need to accept me! I am your memories, but you resist... why Inuyasha? Why do you resist part of yourself?"

Inuyasha looked up at himself with no cruel comeback. Because... because I have to... if I remember...then...I'll remember what happened... maybe I was the one that hurt Kagome, I didn't protect her... I'm not worthy of her love, I can't accept it. I'll hurt her, I'll make her cry.

Inuyasha tried to conceal his emotions; he tried to put up his wall of defense. He can't let his feelings show, they make him weak. That's how Kikyo died, that's why everyone he cares about suffers. He can't let that happen to Kagome, he won't let that happen.

"Inuyasha, leave him. He doesn't want to know, accept his decision" a female voice said.

The two Inuyashas turned around to see proud Midoriko standing before them. She held her staff proud as she watched them. Her eyes didn't conceal her emotions as she watched the 1 part of Inuyasha resist the other.

The calm Inuyasha stood up and walked next to Midoriko as they watched the other Inuyasha who was still clutching his head. Midoriko walked towards him and stop when she stood before him. Her voice betrayed no emotion at all when she spoke:

"Do you refuse to remember Inuyasha? Is that your decision?"

That's Midoriko. Why is she here? Is she connected in all of this? I want to remember... but...what if I can't face the memories.

"Inuyasha this will be your only chance to regain your memories. You must choose! Kagome made her decision; it is your turn now!"

"Kagome? She had to choose to? Asked a surprise Inuyasha if she regained her memories so should I. but...what if I hurt her... what if she dies because of me...I won't be able to live with myself if I caused that.

"Inuyasha!!!! Listen to me!!! I know how you feel, I'm you remember! Trust me when I say this! You can't protect Kagome if you let yourself forget! I know you love her and don't want to hurt her... but if you forget... if you decide not to remember... then you will always hurt her, you will never understand, never! Believe in yourself!"

Inuyasha looked at himself. He inspected himself wondering if he should trust him. Ok, he is me! I don't think he will betray me. sigh what should I do? I ...ok... I decided! I just hope it was the right choice.

"Inuyasha? Have you decided?" asked a patient Midoriko

Inuyasha stood up as he looked at Midoriko. He spared a glance to his other self as he answered

"Yes! I made my choice!"

Ok so this is all for now, I'm updating it now, the part o follow is coming right up! Let me know what you think? Inuyasha fighting against himself was a part too sweet for me to pass. The next chapter should be coming soon
