Chapter 7- Inuyasha returns

When Kagome reached the well house she opened the door quietly and stepped in, glancing over her shoulder to see if Isamu was following her. He was, and he was smiling quiet happily.

"Are you that eager to return to Feudal Japan?" She turned to face him.

"Of course. We haven't been back in some time now, and there is nothing like home, or so the humans say." Kagome didn't question further, though she felt that something was wrong, it was almost like she was doing something she wasn't supposed to be doing.

Nonsense! Isamu and I are just returning to our home, there isn't anything wrong with that. She pushed the feeling down.

Concentrating on the task at hand she knelt down next to the well. Her hands started to glow a pale pink. Finally the sacred scrolls burst into flames and fell to the floor in a pile of ashes.

Kagome turned toward Isamu, grabbing his hand in hers she pulled him into the well with her.

Inuyasha sat in the god tree, staring silently at the well. He had stopped watching the well for several weeks, but something told him that something was about to happen.

As he sat watching the well a familiar scent drifted to him. It was Kagome's scent. Inuyasha perked up immediately, thinking that maybe she had come back, hoping that she had come back to him. He was surprised when Kagome climbed out of the well after a kitsune.

"We're home, Kagome-koishii." The voice was soft, but Inuyasha heard it clearly, and knew who it was. It was the kitsune who had appeared to him before, the one from Kagome's time.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha jumped out of the tree and raced toward the two standing by the well. They turned to face him, the kitsune gave him an annoyed look while Kagome looked confused.

"Who are you?" She asked quietly. The hanyou seemed familiar to her, but she couldn't remember who he was.

"What are you talking about Kagome? It's me, Inuyasha." Inuyasha studied her face; she seemed to be thinking, though she still looked confused.

"I don't think I know you. You seem familiar, but I can't remember you. Isamu, do I know this man?" She turned to face Isamu, who smiled at her confusion.

"No, you don't know this man, and you don't need to, he's not important." Isamu grabbed Kagome's arm and lead her away from the well while pretending to ignore the angry hanyou.

"What do you mean you don't know me!? We're friends, I helped you collect the jewel shards." Inuyasha shoved Isamu out of the way and forced Kagome to look at him.

"I'm sorry, I don't remember you and I would appreciate it if you would get out of my face!" Kagome yelled at Inuyasha. She angrily stomped away from him to help Isamu stand up. Tell him to sit. A voice coaxed Kagome, whispering softly to her through telepathy.

"SIT!" She shouted when Inuyasha reached out to grab her arm again. A loud thump reached Kagome's ears and she turned to face Inuyasha, surprised at what the simple word had done.

Isamu smiled, once again grabbing Kagome's arm and leading her away from the well, this time being successful. He led her toward Kaede's village; it was the perfect place to start the second part of his plan.

Sango watched Kirara and Shippou as they played. It was one of the rare moments that Shippou was happy, since Kagome had left he had grown a little, but he was always so quiet now, he never got into any fights with Inuyasha anymore. Of course it wasn't hard to not get into fights with Inuyasha anymore, he spent so much of his time sitting in the god tree, or just staying away from people that you hardly saw him.

"Sango." Shippou's voice caught her attention.

"What is it Shippou?" Sango stood and moved to where Shippou stood watching something. She gasped in surprise when she saw what it was. Kagome was walking toward the village, smiling and talking with the man who walked beside her.

"Kagome!" Shippou took off down the hill toward Kagome.

"Shippou, wait!" Sango called in vain to the hyper kitsune. Something didn't seem right, why would Kagome come back after a year, and why would she bring someone with her? Scooping up Kirara she followed Shippou down the hill.

Shippou stopped in front of Kagome, looking at her uncertainly. He had sensed that something wasn't right as well, but standing in front of Kagome, who looked at him with questioning eyes, only brought the truth of the matter to the front of his mind. This wasn't his Kagome; this wasn't the one whom he considered to be his mother. The Kagome he considered his mother would not stare at him in confusion.

"How do you know my name demon?" Kagome glanced uncertainly at Isamu. She felt that he held all of the answers she needed, that he knew something that she didn't, something that she should know.

"Kagome..." Sango stopped next to Shippou. Kirara jumped out of her arms and onto Kagome's shoulder.

"Get off of me." Kagome growled at Kirara, who promptly jumped off her shoulder, landing lightly beside Shippou.

"Kagome, are you ok?" Sango asked, stepping toward the miko.

"Hai, I'm fine. But I would like to know how you know my name." Again Kagome looked questioningly at Isamu.

"They aren't important." Was his answer to her questioning look. They used to be your friend, but they betrayed you. Do not trust them. The voice whispered, it was the same voice that had told her what to say to the hanyou that had bothered her when they had stepped out of the well.

Isamu watched Kagome's expression, seeing how she reacted to the silent message he had implanted in her mind.

"Stay away from me." Kagome looked at Sango. "I don't remember how you betrayed me, but I won't trust you or your words again." Kagome grabbed Isamu's hand and started walking again, leaving a very confused Sango.

"She doesn't remember how I betrayed her? I would never betray my best friend." Sango whispered to herself. "Let's go find Inuyasha, Shippou. Maybe he has a clue of what's going on around here." Sango headed off in the direction she had last seen Inuyasha going in, which was leading her toward the well.

Sango found Inuyasha where Kagome and Isamu had left him, standing in the middle of the clearing with a confused and hurt look on his face.

"Inuyasha, did you see Kagome?" Sango lightly tapped Inuyasha's shoulder.

"Hai." Inuyasha whispered. Sango drew back in surprise, Inuyasha sounded close to tears, and Inuyasha wasn't one to cry, especially not in front of anyone else.

"We need to find out what's wrong with Kagome." Sango said, deciding that finding out what was wrong with Kagome was more important than pondering why Inuyasha was close to tears. The answer to that was easy to tall anyway.

"What good would it do?" Inuyasha shook his head angrily and started walking away from Sango.

"Something isn't right about her, and I think it has something to do with that man who was with her." Sango called out in an attempt to snare Inuyasha's interest. Inuyasha didn't reply.

"He's to heartbroken to care right now." Miroku said. Sango turned to find him standing behind her.

"Did you run into Kagome?" Sango asked quietly.

"Yes."

"Then you see why we need to do something." Sango pleaded with Miroku.

"Nothing seems to wrong about her, other than that she doesn't want to associate herself with us." Miroku responded calmly.

"Nothing seems wrong? What are you talking about? She can't remember us. That man she is traveling with stepped into the conversation and told her that Shippou and I are unimportant, then she said that she can't remember what I did to betray her but she wasn't going to trust me or my words again." Sango paused for a second to let what she had said to sink in. "Miroku, you know I wouldn't betray Kagome in anyway."

"You're right. We should talk to Kaede, she might know something." Miroku agreed, even though he wasn't fully convinced.

AN: Sorry for the short chapter, I was planning on making it longer, but then I realized that I have Band Camp all next week- for 12 hours a day, so I won't have any time to write. I hope you enjoyed the chapter!

If I get enough reviews I will post the next chapter no later than next weekend!

Review responses:

Aearoniell- lol, well, at least I got the one review I was wanting. I didn't mean to make Isamu sound like Gollum, but I guess it just came out that way. Oh well, he can be the Gollum type in this fic.
