KG500: Disclaimer

Disclaimer: Yuki and KG500 don't own Inuyasha, even though they wish they did.

KG500: Meh, we got a review in what happened in the last chapter if you're too stupid to figure out what happened.

Summary: Inuyasha and Kagome kissed in the forest, while Rinearu watched, Sango and Miroku had their discussion, and Shippo agreed in the fact that Inuyasha was somewhat ignorant.

Yuki: Basically it was mostly about Inuyasha and Kagome.

KG500: Yeah, anyways…let's head on with this chapter.

Yuki: HI HO!

Cursed Memory

Chapter 3: Present and Miroku's New Face

Inuyasha and Kagome stared at each other's eyes with deep concern. Both of them smiled and held each other close, they sighed deeply and were happy with both of them in each other's arms.

Kagome flinched and thought in her head, 'There are so many things…so many things I want to tell you…but my mouth just isn't working…'

What she didn't know was that Inuyasha was thinking the exact same thing.

Inuyasha's ears suddenly twitched, and broke the embrace. Even though he wanted to hold Kagome longer, the sound in the bushes was VERY familiar.

"Inu—," Kagome's mouth was covered with Inuyasha's hand, she looked and saw him wink, 'nani?' Kagome thought.

He lowered his hand and winked once more. He slowly walked to the bushes and pushed them separate, showing Sango, Miroku, and Shippo, "I knew you were spying…"

Kagome stared, in amazement, and no amazement at the same time. Those three would always spy, seems like they had eyes all over, and they couldn't be left alone. It wasn't a cool thing too, because she sometimes wanted to be left alone. Alone with Inuyasha though, but it seems her moment with him was cut short by the three friends of hers.

"Took you guys long enough to find them," Rinearu said, who was between them?

Kagome and Inuyasha jerked back, "WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?"

"The tree…duh," Rinearu did a thumbs up, "I was watching you two making out,"

"Rinearu!" Kagome blushed, "QUIT IT!"

The 14 year old covered her ears and stuck out her tongue, "I can't hear you Kagome, what did you say? Tell in what I—,"

Rinearu didn't finish her sentence because she saw that Inuyasha was about to smack her on the head with the Tetsusaiga. She rubbed her forehead in a bit of annoyance, "Baka no inu,"

"What did you say?!" Inuyasha pulled out his sword and brought it flat downward at the mysterious girl.

She looked at the sword as it flew down at her.

"Inuyasha! Oswari!" Kagome yelled.

But that just made the sword fall faster down at Rinearu. She lifted her hand, and the sword landed on her hand in a loud BONG.

Sango and Miroku stared at Rinearu, "Didn't that hurt?"

"No,"

"WHAT?! HOW CAN THAT NOT HURT?!"

"It just doesn't!" Rinearu had a funny smirk on her face. Inuyasha grumbled and placed the Tetsusaiga back in his sheath, "Keh, it's just a waste of time!"

"You always say that Inuyasha," Kagome said.

The group dusted themselves off and walked back to Kaede's hut. Rinearu however was walking behind, watching as they all stared onwards, and not at each other, "They seem to be hiding so many things from each other…what idiots…" She smirked.

Shippo ran and Kagome took off into a little chase. Miroku walked as the little kitsune ran, with Kagome right on chase. Inuyasha looked the other way and did his normal 'feh', and Sango looked over at Miroku.

As the little kitsune ran pass the forest, he smelled something in the air, and it wasn't the scent of Kagome, Inuyasha, or the others. It was small, that he figured out, but he didn't know if it was something to worry about. He ignored it, and continued running to Kaede's Village.

But still he sniffed the scent, he looked back at Inuyasha to see if he smelt it too, he didn't seem to care though. The chase stopped, and they call walked to the village together. Shippo was the youngest, but he wasn't stupid to figure out this scent, but I bet Inuyasha would just act tough and just say it's just a flower or something.

Shippo was always the little kid, but he did like being spoiled with the chocolate, and the candy that Kagome gave him. But it wasn't cool that Inuyasha sometimes wanted them for himself. Baka that Inuyasha can be, A REAL BAKA!!!

"Huh?" Shippo suddenly fell back and saw a little white fox run pass him, and landed on Rinearu's shoulder, "Is that fox yours?"

Rinearu shook her head and petted the little white fox, "It just came to me when I was talking with Kagome in the forest," She said and walked behind Miroku and Sango.

She watched as Miroku swayed his right hand to the left, then to the right, swinging it back and forth behind his back. The 14 year old continued staring at Miroku's movements, and then it landed on hit's target, Sango's butt as usual.

Hearing the loud slap, and the nonstop yelling, Kagome and Inuyasha were miles ahead, and Rinearu right behind by a foot or two. You can still hear the yells and the slaps that Miroku received. Poor Miroku, not our fault and his perverted mind.

Since it was already dark, and they FINALLY reached the village, they insisted in sleeping early, they would be heading out for more shards, seeing their little vacation was done. Kagome said she wanted to get more supplies in her era, and then they can head out, she wanted to get more ramen for Inuyasha, more candy for Shippo, and possible something for Rinearu since she was new to the group.

Rinearu looked at ever as they prepared to go to sleep, "All of you are going to go to sleep?"

"Yep," Inuyasha said simply, and leaned against the wall, "Daylight is going to come up soon, we better save our energy for what ever battles were going to face the day right after,"

"Hmm…" Rinearu thought and nodded in agreement. She saw a blanket next to Kagome, and near the fire. Kagome made a signal that it was her bed to sleep in. Rinearu stared at the little sleeping bag that the miko did for her. She slowly walked to the bed and laid on it. She stared at the fire, but didn't go to sleep just yet.

Kagome played with Rinearu's long hair. It didn't seem gold as it was in the forest, it seem nearly silver, like Inuyasha's. But the difference was that it was a more elegant silver, but that didn't mean she likes Inuyasha's hair too! She noticed how smooth and straight the 14 year old's hair was. Comparing it with her own, Rinearu's might be better, although she didn't seem the type to like those beauty contests.

Miroku and Sango were in a distance from each other. Inuyasha kept an eye secretly opened, if Miroku was going to do any fast moves. He noticed that Miroku moved a few inches towards Sango, as usual, "Miroku,"

"Eheheh…I was just kidding Inuyasha! I just wanted to say good night to everyone!" Miroku nervously laughed and sat back to his normal sleeping, sitting position.

"Yeah right," Inuyasha scoffed. Kagome giggled, and so did Sango. Rinearu just stared as if she was just born to this world, but nodded in agreement with Kagome and Sango. Shippo ran to Kagome and fell asleep. Everyone said their simple good nights, and slept.

As they slept, Rinearu struggled beneath the covers. Moving left and right, she mumbled words that weren't in the English tongue. She nearly screamed, but even in her unconscious stat, she covered her own mouth, and continued to dream.

There was a distant scream, and a little girl that was no younger than the age of 7, was running towards the scream.

The scream was louder by every step that the little girl took, she stretched out her hand, hoping that the scream would just come right at her. A burst of dark light shot out and it struck the little girl to the ground. The girl wasn't dead, but it was a fatal blow to the shoulder.

Moving…barely, she slowly stood up, but fall back down to her knees, she held onto her shoulder, and in dismay, she didn't cry, but she did plea, as the scream began to fade from her hearing range. Even in her weakened condition, she heard footsteps coming right at her, she looked up and saw a girl that was no more than around the age of 15 appeared in front of her.

"You know that we have reasons in taking her away, you cant be part of it, because your too young, and weak," The girl said coolly.

Still the girl wanted to stand up and fight, but the wound on her shoulder made her disabled to do anything. She was only the age of 7, and the woman was the age of 15. How can she beat someone that was 8 years older, and was much more powerful than she was?

"You're a smart little girl, unlike…'her', you use your brains…that is…if you even have any," The 15 year old patted the little girl on the head, and smirked.

"I'm never going forget what you did…I want her back! I want my mother back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The girl cried.

"Heheh…we have reasons why we need your mother, although you are the daughter, you weren't born by BLOOD," The 15 year old said loudly in the last word, and vanished right in front of her.

Rinearu suddenly sat up, panting, her eyes looking as if looking at her own reflection in a puddle of water. She rubbed her forehead from all the sweat, and everything that was spinning her in her head.

"That dream…" She said quietly. She sighed and laid back onto her bed, "So many things that happened that day…so many things…"

"And what were those 'things'?" Inuyasha said, who was still wide-awake.

Rinearu glanced over at Inuyasha, and saw the two gold orbs staring right at her. She glared and looked at the fire, "None of your business,"

"You know that it isn't a good idea to be hiding things, especially to us since we DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!" Inuyasha said it quietly enough, so the others didn't wake up, however, Shippo nearly woke up, but fell right back asleep.

"Smart one, Inu no Baka, smart one," Rinearu waved her stand in her of her face.

"Feh, like I have to be offended by a 14 year old like you, your nothing but just a weak human, how can you even stand against me? Why don't you just go back to your mother?" Inuyasha retorted.

"…" Rinearu stayed silent and sat up. Hearing the word 'mother' was offending enough, just hearing that she was weak just more to it than that. She sighed and glared up at Inuyasha, "You were weak yourself you know, you stupid hanyou,"

"Who are you calling stupid?!"

"I'm calling you stupid! That's what!" Rinearu softly yelled back, hoping the others won't wake up.

"Why are you so offended anyways?" Inuyasha said, and Rinearu paused, "You were even strong enough to hold back the Tetsusaiga with just your hand," He blinked once, his voice lowering a bit, "Demons maybe would do that, but a weak human like yourself shouldn't be able to,"

Rinearu shrugged and rubbed the back of her head. Although, Inuyasha was wrong with the 'weak human' thing. She wasn't a human at all, I guess she was a demon, but wasn't at the same time. Sometimes she can't figure out why she was even born into this world in the first place…if she was born in THIS world.

Both Inuyasha and Rinearu heard a noise, and they looked down to see the white fox. The fox's stomach was grumbling.

"…"

"…"

Inuyasha and Rinearu fell to the ground. What a way to break the seriousness around that part, not that they were complaining. But they did complain when Kagome woke up. The others were still asleep though.

Kagome looked at the two, and rubbed her eyes, "Inuyasha? Rinearu?"

Both of them jerked back and twitched, they nervously laughed and noticed how the others were still sleeping. (Heavy sleepers)

"Eh, nothing, just go back to sleep, we were just arguing," Both of them said and rubbed the back of their heads. Kagome didn't buy it, but nodded anyways, and laid back into her sleeping back. Rinearu and Inuyasha sighed and looked at the ceiling. It was going to be a long way till Rinearu was going to really confess anything to the group.

Once daylight broke, Kagome picked up her back, and ran to the well, her bag was still half full, but she still thought in getting Rinearu something! Something that will make her open more to them. Maybe that'll get Rinearu to understand that they were really good people, not enemies! Kagome made it to the well, and jumped into it.

Getting surrounded in blue light, she returned back to her own time. Her era, she was so glad to be back. She climb out, and ran to her home, "I'm home everyone!"

Souta, Kagome's younger brother, turned, and saw Kagome. He had a cookie in his mouth, and nearly choked on it when seeing Kagome's face, "K-Kagome! It's you!"

"Hey there Souta, why are you choking on a cookie? Don't tell me that mom just baked them, and you were eating them! Shame on you…!"

"It wasn't my fault! And can you stop acting as if you're the mom of this house?!" Souta pouted and yelled back.

Kagome laughed and saw a note on the wall, it said that her mother was out to get some food. Guess she wasn't going to say hello to her mother after all, and it seems Grandpa is too busy lecturing to other people about the Sacred Tree.

Kagome looked in a cabinet, and saw ramen, "Yatta!" Kagome cheered and took the ramen, stuffing them carefully into her yellow bag, she gathered a few more that would last for a month or two.

She soon looked around for anything else, she saw the cookies that Souta was eating. Guessing that Souta took some, she thought in taking some too and handing them over to Shippo! She giggled and took around eight, and wrapped them up in a bag, and of course putting it in a pouch of the yellow bag.

The young miko packed up her things, and ran off back to the well, but stopped and forgot, "Oh…I should get something for Rinearu at least…" Kagome ran back to her home, and up to her room, she looked around and checked to see if anything caught her eye if there was anything that Rinearu might like.

Sadly, Kagome didn't know in what things that Rinearu liked, she was mysterious, especially her personality. She can be calm, and quiet, and sometimes she can be very violent. Guess you can't judge a book by its cover.

Kagome stopped searching, and pulled out a plushy of a wolf and a bear. She hugged both of them tightly. She knew that Rinearu was going to love the plushys! Who wouldn't like cute little animals of a wolf and a bear? Or what other animal that you can think in your mind.

She stood up, and walked back downstairs, but then saw Souta running with something on his head.

It was Kagome's underwear.

"SOUTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kagome shouted and began to chase her brother, "Your so immature! You little brat! Why do you have my underwear on your head?!"

"A while ago while me and Rinearu were talking, she was mumbling funny things in her sleep, it was in a funny language, and I'm not the type of person that can be your next stupid Sherlock Holmes," Inuyasha said.

Miroku put a finger under his chin and looked over at Inuyasha, "Tell me, Inuyasha, did you figure out anything else while talking to Rinearu late at night?"

"No, not really, I didn't really figure out much. But when I mentioned the word 'mother', it did seem to offend her in some sort of way,"

Looking at Inuyasha once more, Miroku blinked twice. Inuyasha did have that reaction too, maybe it grew on to Rinearu, or maybe that her mother died, and she's the only one left. If the word 'mother' was enough to made her break down, it must have been something of death or something similar to that, but Miroku didn't want to jump to any conclusion, so he kept his mouth shut, "So, nothing important, rather the word mother was deep offending. I think it's best that we try and not to mention that to Rinearu for a while, considering how mysterious, and now difficult her personality is,"

"You got that right, her right hook hurt like hell to my cheek," Inuyasha whined, "But anyways, where's Sango?"

"Sango's with Rinearu, taking her for a walk I think, maybe she'll be able to get some information out of her,"

"You know, us talking to her like this makes me think were going to loose our trust within Rinearu, I mean, it isn't like we want her as a tool, but you know that 14 year old is a stupid, yet smart girl," Inuyasha admitted.

Sango walked alongside Rinearu around the village, looking at some of the little lakes, and the little grasses popping here and there. The little 14-year-old girl looked at the flowers, and the grasses, not minding the lake for its sparkle.

"Tell me Rinearu, have you ever been to this part of this world before?" Sango asked.

The answer was a simple shaking of Rinearu's head, "No, I haven't,"

"If you haven't, how did you know so much about the incident that happened 50 years ago? Surely that you visited here before, or at least someone on your behalf did,"

Rinearu shook her head once more, "I just known what happened that day…50 years ago, I know that you, and the others were searching for Naraku, don't think of me as if I'm nothing but a simple 14 year old. I'm more in what you think,"

Sango looked at the girl with deep eyes, "Don't get me wrong or anything, but you seem to know a lot, you don't seem like the type of person to spy, but I would be wrong, you do seem to have a…difficult personality,"

Rinearu shrugged.

As the hours passed, so did Kagome returned, the group waited in front of the well, "Rinearu! I have something for you!"

She looked up at Kagome, and saw her hand a doll of a wolf and a bear, "Something for me?" Rinearu repeated, and Kagome nodded. Rinearu looked at the bear, and kept her eyes on the wolf.

"…This wolf…looks just like the one in my dream I had last night…" She mumbled, " Kogal was her name…she was the one that…" She paused. (o Kogagal, thanks for being part of this story by the way! Kogal is going to be your nickname shortened by the way, just to let you know!)

"Hm?" Kagome looked at Rinearu, "What are you talking about? Who's 'Kogal'?"

Silence.

Miroku put a hand on Kagome's shoulder, "I think I know what's going on. I'll explain later, Kagome, but right now, let's focus in what we have to do, and search for Naraku, and the remaining Shikon Shards,"

The miko paused, and nodded in agreement, "Right,"

Inuyasha was leaning against the tree waiting for everyone else, they ran to him, and he soon began to walk. Rinearu held onto the teddy bear though, she seemed to like it. Kagome smiled, and held onto the wolf.

"You know that you must really love that doll, Rinearu, maybe you should give it a name sometime so you can say it belongs to you," Kagome suggested.

"That's right, you can name that bear anything you want, if you want to that is," Sango said nodding.

Rinearu looked at Sango and Kagome and nodded, "I want to give this bear a name…I just don't know what to give it though…"

Shippo jumped on Rinearu's head, "Don't worry, Rinearu, you'll find a name for that bear, don't worry,"

She looked up at Shippo and nodded. She blinked twice and looked over at Inuyasha and Miroku. She heard them talking, more like mumbling to each other.

"Rinearu gets all the attention…" Miroku said with jealousy.

This brought an idea, and Rinearu walked over to Miroku, looking at him with a cute expression, "You ok Miroku?"

"Huh?" Miroku stopped walking and looked at Rinearu. Inuyasha also stopped walking, wanting to see what was going on.

"Um…yeah! I'm alright!" Miroku did a fake smile. Rinearu continued staring though. She stared at Miroku with her lavender blue eyes, and Miroku gulped. He noticed how close that Rinearu's butt, and his hand was. If only he can…

"Is Miroku going to be ok?" Rinearu asked once more, noticing his hand slowly creep up to her rear.

"Er…Yeah! I'm perfectly fine Rinearu!" Miroku was just an inch away, "My…Rinearu, what a—,"

BASH!

"Fine right hook I have? Thank you very much!" Rinearu had BOXING GLOVES on, and looked victorious. Miroku was now on the ground, and it looked like as if he lost a tooth. Kagome and Inuyasha stared wide-eyed at Rinearu, and she simply did a thumbs up, "Don't worry, I just nicked him, he'll be fine!"

"Miroku? YO! MIROKU!" Sango yelled in his ear. Miroku woke up, and stood up, making Sango fall back and staring. She was soon wide-eyed.

"Um…you guys…"

"What?"

"Miroku's face…or…half face, is a lizard…"

"What the hell did you just say?!" Kagome yelled and looked at Miroku's face.

"HOLY SHIT!!!" Inuyasha looked at Miroku's face, "God damn! Miroku, you gave us a freaking heart-attack!"

Rinearu smirked and laughed in a goofy way. Miroku was given a mirror to Kagome, and saw his face was half normal, and half lizard, "OH MY GOD!!! RINEARU! WHAT DID YOU DO?!"

"I nicked you when you were trying to grope me, what's new?" Rinearu said, shrugging.

"RINEARU! FIX THIS! I LOOK UGLY!" He pleaded.

But in return, it was a thumbs up, "Good,"

"Harsh…but I think it," Inuyasha kidded around, and Kagome and Sango sniffled their laughter, trying to act as if they were sad for what happened. Shippo, however, bursted our laughing and rolled around the ground like what any other normal little kid would do.

Kagome and Sango joined right after and bursted out laughing, and Inuyasha did the same. Rinearu did a peace sign, "You gotta live with your de-formed face, trust me, you'll get used to it in no time,"

Kagome stopped laughing for a minuet and whispered to Sango, "Hey Sango…are you going to be making out with him how?"

Yuki: OO Miroku's face is now a half lizard man!
