Chapter 12: Slowly Remembering

"Did you just call me… Tsuna?" Kagome asked as she had known that name from somewhere before. Inuyasha heard the name and he knew he had also known that name when he was just a little kid.

"Yes." Sesshomaru replied.

"Why the hell did you just call me Tsuna when my name is Kagome?"

"Inuyasha, do you remember that name or not?" Sesshomaru said ignoring Kagome's question.

"Y-yeah… I heard it when I was little… but that was the only time that I had ever heard it… but I am not sure where I have heard it from…"

"Have you heard it… Kagome?" Inuyasha asked dumbly as he did not know where Sesshomaru was going with this.

"No…" Kagome touched her forehead and there right in the middle was the crescent that faced upwards.

"Shut up, you idiot." Sesshomaru said coldly.

"Mother… please don't ever leave me… I love you, please don't do this to me… please don't!" The little girl yelled as her mother grabbed a bottle from the shelf.

"I… am so…sorry… Kagome." Tsunami chanted a spell and the castle turned blue indicating that Tsunami had casted a spell. Everyone had been ready for this dreadful day…

"That… girl… was me..?" Kagome said to herself as she rubbed her pounding head. She had been getting so many memories ever since she had started her journey. Well actually ever since she turned nineteen. Kagome reached up to touch the little shell dangling from her neck that had suddenly appeared. A black light stopped her from touching it, so she instantly put her hand down.

Sesshomaru looked a Kagome with a straight face as he knew that she had just remembered something. He walked closer to Kagome jumped as his very touch on her arm.

"How… can this be…? I was the girl from all of those memories…"

As Sesshomaru felt touched Kagome's arm, he felt another of his memories coming back to him.

"So, how is it going to be… Sesshomaru? I want to know… how is it going to be… for you and me?" The girl asked.

"Well…when we grow up, we are going to get married and you shall be my bride and ruler of the Western Lands along with me… we have many little pups in our household… and we will raise our sons to be great leaders… and raise our daughters to be graceful and respected by all people just like you." The girl blushed and leaned her head onto his shoulder and the two of them watched the stars come out into the sky.

"How is it going to be…" Kagome said slowly as she watched Sesshomaru walk away rubbing his temples.

"What did you just say?"

"I said how is it going to be… if I ever find my spirit…" Kagome said slowly afraid that she had said something offending.

Sesshomaru came closer to her face and felt her heart racing, he could hear it loudly drumming in his ears.

"Kagome. Wake up." A mysterious voice said.

Kagome's eyes shot up and everything around her disappeared she was now in a place where it seemed so familiar to her. All of the trees and the fresh cherry blossoms beginning to bloom. She felt the soft grass on her ankles as the wind blew lightly. She saw a little girl running towards one of the cherry blossom trees.

"Mommy! Mommy! Look what I found!" The lady turned around and she smiled at the little girl running towards her.

"So, what did you find this time?"

"I found a shell."

"Oh, let me see." The lady took the shell from the girl's hand. It was pink on the outside and white on the inside.

"This is very beautiful. Where did you find it?"

"I found near father's little vegetable garden."

'I wonder why this is lying around. I thought I had stashed all of my shells from my home in a safe place in the palace… only Hikaru would know where they are… unless… he wanted… his daughter… to have a part of my father's home with her…' The lady smiled and was glad that her husband wanted their daughter to have a part of the oceans with her.

"Here, let's make a necklace out of this and you can wear it anytime you want because this is from my lands… in the oceans… they are very common there, but very rare here… now you have something that you can connect with your grandfather with who is from the Kagayaki Kage Oceans… I know the name sounds weird… but that is were I am from... and from this small little shell… you are always going to be with your grandfather."

The little girl smiled and walked with her mom into the castle. Kagome tried to call out to them, but her voice did not come out, nothing came out. She decided to run after them and find out where she was. When Kagome had reached the two that were now sitting at the entrance of the castle, she reached out to them, but her hands only went through their bodies. She was like a ghost to them… no one could see or feel her.

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!" Kagome curled into a ball and slowly she turned into dust and was back into the real world where everything was calm and she was alive again.

"W-what… just happened…?" Kagome rubbed her head and she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"You just saw you past." A voice in her head said.

"What?!"

"That was you, you idiot. Didn't you see the resemblance?"

"Who are you?"

"Me? I am you lost soul… I am trying to remember the past for you, why you lost you spirit in the first place."

Kagome started to shake her head and opened her bright eyes; she was now staring at the demon lord right in his eyes. She had turned back to normal and her wings were gone.

"I-I want to get… out of this land… I want to see my mother from the oceans… I want to see her… the oceans." Kagome explained as she knew that Sesshomaru would somehow understand what she was trying to tell him.

"But… there are many oceans in Japan… Kagome… what oceans are you talking about…?"

Kagome shook her head and fell in Sesshomaru's shoulder crying like a little baby. Sesshomaru could smell how sad and angry Kagome was. She cried harder for she was trying to find her past, but everything got into her way… now she knew that she has a dark form… she felt it when she was yelling, she felt another person taking over.

"I-I don't know… I don't know!" Kagome yelled as she hugged Sesshomaru tighter. Sesshomaru felt his heart race when Kagome hugged him tighter, but he felt really comfortable in her arms.

"Just think." Kikyo, Kaede, and Inuyasha stared at the two wondering what they were talking about. The three had felt something that made them realize that Kagome had been connected to their past somehow.

"I…" Kagome wiped her tears away thought about the little girl and her mom.

"Kaga…yaki Ka…ge…" Kagome said slowly; trying to get every word correct, so Sesshomaru could understand her.

"What?"

Kagome repeated the words in her head over and over.

'This… name can be a key to my past… it may have the answer… to all of my questions!'

"Kagayaki Kage Oceans!" Kagome yelled brightly. But as she looked up at Sesshomaru, she knew that he was confused.

"The Kagayaki Kage Oceans? Those oceans… don't exist… well, I don't know where they are…"

Kagome looked up in shock.

'How could this be, he was the Lord of the Western Land, shouldn't he know every place there is in Japan…?'

"How… could you not know where the Kagayaki Kage Oceans are…?" Sesshomaru searched through his mind but nothing about the Kagayaki Oceans.

"I… am never going to find my home… my past will forever be lost…" Kagome cried harder wetting the lord's kimono.

"What was that you said?" Kaede asked.

"Kagayaki Kage Oceans." Kagome replied softly but Kaede could still hear it and thought about the name.

"The Shining Shadow Oceans… that is kind of a weird name, don't you think…?" Inuyasha said as he translated it to the others.

"We know what it means, you dumbass." Kikyo cursed as she walked closer to where Kaede was standing.

"Do… you know where it is, Kaede?" Kagome asked as she stood up and got out of Sesshomaru's grasp.

"Those are the hidden oceans, Kagome… no one would know about those oceans… only demons of royalty would know… Sesshomaru why don't you know… for Kikyo and I used to work there for the lady…"

"I-I don't understand why I don't know the Kagayaki Oceans…" Sesshomaru said rubbing his head.

"Well… is that where you want to go, Kagome?" Inuyasha asked as he inched towards her.

"Yes… that is where I want to go…"

"All right then, we can leave this land and search for the oceans…" Kikyo said.

Kagome shook her head furiously.

"I can't… this is the land of love… I cannot leave until I have found my true love…" Kaede smirked at Kagome's explanation for she knew that there must have been something that Kagome and Sesshomaru shared in the past.

"Just try to leave… Kikyo, Inuyasha, and I shall stay behind… for none of us have anyone that loves us dearly… but you do."

"What are you talking about, Kaede." Kagome asked confused at the old woman's words.

Kagome looked at Sesshomaru who gave her a confused look.

"Just go on." Kaede urged.

Kagome walked towards Sesshomaru and she took one leap up to the sky breaking the barrier. She was amazed as she landed back down to the ground.

"See… you can leave… for someone loves you a lot… and plus this land recognizes you."

"How can it recognize me?"

"Your past is catching up to you." Kaede said as she pushed Kagome towards Sesshomaru so the two can go search for the oceans.

"Where can we look first?" Kagome asked brightly taking Sesshomaru's hands into her own.

"Start looking North."
