Disclaimer: I can draw him, write about him, think and dream about him, but for some reason I still can't own him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Souta, Mrs. Higurashi, and Grandpa all sat in the waiting room of the hospital, while down the hall Kagome was in the emergency room. Souta was visibly scared, while Mother just stared at basically nothing. Grandpa was busy in his own little corner, praying over Kagome's bloodstained backpack.

Souta ran over to his mother and held her hand. "Mom, What about Inuyasha? How is he gonna know?"

"Maybe he'll just come on his own," she told him.

"No, he left after they argued. He won't just come." Souta suddenly remembered the time when Kagome and him were running from a noah mask, and Kagome had sent him back to the well to get Inuyasha. Later, Souta couldn't get through the well himself, but Inuyasha came anyway, claiming that he could smell her blood from where he was. This gave Souta an idea to get Inuyasha to come to the hospital and know what happened to Kagome.

He ran over to Grandpa, who was still praying over Kagome's backpack. He snatched it up, and ran out of the hospital back towards the shrine. When his mother cried out for him to stop, he just shouted over his shoulder, "Don't worry Mom! I'm going to get Inuyasha! I'll be fine!"

~*~

The well looked so creepy from where Souta stood. He had never really liked it in the first place, but now knowing that it connected the past to the present made it just plain strange. A shiver ran up his spine, but he knew that Inuyasha had every right to know what had happened. With a deep breath and Kagome's battered backpack slung over his shoulder, Souta leaped over the edge and down the narrow shaft of the well.

His feet hit the bottom with a dull thud, just as he had expected. "Inuyasha!" he cried anxiously, gripping the backpack tightly. "Inuyasha! Hurry! Something's happened to Kagome!"

When nothing happened, he began to panic. His eyes got blurry, and he dropped to his knees and began to yell at the dirt floor. "Inuyasha! Please! You have to come and see Kagome! Something really bad happened and now she's—" He was suddenly cut off when the well began to glow an eerie blue and hand grabbed the backpack, lifting him in the air with it.

"Souta, why do have Kagome's backpack? Why is it covered in her blood?" Inuyasha asked him sternly. "And what do you mean something bad happened? What did that girl get herself into now?"

Souta looked up at his hero, tears still fogging his eyes. "Kagome was hit by a bike-rider. She's in the hospital, and we're not sure if she's going to be all right or not! You have to come and see her! Maybe…" he sniffed. "Maybe she'll get better if she knows your there."

Inuyasha gaped at the boy. "The… hospital? Wait, what do you mean, 'not sure she's going to be all right?'"

"She was knocked unconscious, and I think she had a concussion or something, and lots of other bad stuff!" Souta was crying now. "Please, just come see her!"

Inuyasha, still holding the boy by the backpack, leaped out the well. He slung Souta onto his back, and began running out of the shrine and towards the city. "How do we get to this hospital?"

~*~

Inuyasha bounded through the double doors of the polished white waiting area, surprising everyone, including the receptionist.

"So you, um, need anything? Sir?"

Completely ignoring the nurse at the reception desk, Souta immediately pointed out where his family sat.

"Oh, Souta! Inuyasha!" Grandpa and Mother both exclaimed, jumping up and running over to greet them. "Souta, you had us so worried, but it is so good to see you here, Inuyasha."

Souta jumped down off of Inuyasha's back and hugged his mom. "Is Kagome okay?" he asked innocently.

"What happened to her? What's wrong with Kagome?" Inuyasha demanded urgently.

Mother sighed. "Come sit down. We're waiting for the doctor to come and tell us the details."

It was hours before any real news came. Inuyasha paced the small waiting room, while Souta sat in his mother's lap, and Grandpa just sat and prayed some more. When the doctor finally came out, everyone rushed over to hear the details.

The doctor cleared his throat and put his hands in his pockets. "It seems as if the she's going to be okay," he said, and everyone let out a sigh or relief. "Surprisingly, there weren't any broken bones, but she did suffer a major concussion. She hasn't woken up yet, so we can't bet too sure if her memory has been effected or not, but she is settled in her room, if you want to visit. We ask that you go maybe a couple at a time, though, so we're not crowding her."

He lead the way down the spotless white halls, to a door that lead to a room with a window looking in over a bed that supported a sleeping Kagome. A white bandage was wrapped around her forehead, with a breathing machine leading to her nose and an IV in her arm.

Inuyasha ran up to the window and pressed his face against the glass, observing all the strange machines that she was hooked up too. He just wanted to get in there and hold her hand, if that much was even possible. He was afraid of what he might discover if he entered the room.

Mother took Souta and Grandpa in first. Inuyasha watched through the window as they each tried to say something to her, with no prevail. After a few minuets, after each of them had tried to comfort her and each other, they left and held the door open for Inuyasha. Souta went to follow him, but his mother held him back. "Let him talk to her by himself," she said, watching sadly.

Inuyasha walked over next to the bed and stared down at the sleeping figure. She looked so helpless, just lying there. It was against her nature. She had too much bottled up energy to hold still for too long, and they were always ready to pick a fight. It was so strange to just see her lying there, hooked to machines that seemed to be the things keeping her well.

"Stupid wench," he said softly, "what did you do? How did you get yourself into a position like this? I can't leave you for even a second, can I? I'm sure this never would have happened if I were there…" He leaned over her, examining her face for any sign of life. "You have to get better, you know. How are we supposed to finish collecting all the jewel shards if you…stay like this?" She didn't move at all as he carefully sat at the edge of the bed, still hovering over her. "Kagome, don't leave me like this. I'm sure what I would do if I lost you. You have to stay strong and get better…for me…"

Slowly, Kagome's eyes began to flutter open. Inuyasha froze, still hovering over her face, watching as she looked up at him. "Ka…Ka-Kagome?"

They stared at each other for a minuet, before Kagome blinked and looked him over.

"Who, or what, are you supposed to be?" she asked, eyeing his ears.

~*~

The doctor stood next to her bed, asking various questions for whatever reason he had. Every time he answered, he would say something like "Hm," or "Interesting." In the window leading out to the hallway, she could see her family standing with that…thing, watching her. It was kind of unnerving.

When she had first heard the voice of someone talking to her, it had seemed so familiar, although she wasn't sure where from. It was the voice of a man, she knew that much. She decided she would just have to see for herself.

Then she opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was a pair of soft golden ones staring back at her. They seemed so mesmerizing, like they were searching her soul, but as she looked around to see whom they belonged to, she found long silver hair, fangs, two dog ears, and a strange red outfit.

Watching the dog-man-thing stare at her, Kagome quietly pondered her whereabouts. What the heck is this thing? Could he be…God? Or maybe an angle? Am I dead?!

"Do I know you?" she asked it repeatedly. Why wasn't it saying anything? For a while it just kept saying her name, over and over again. Then, after about the billionth time she asked it, it finally answered.

"Whoa—What do you mean? You don't know who I am?" She shook her head, and he growled. Literally, he growled like a dog. She would have been scared, was she not already terribly confused.

"Are you serious, or are you just pulling my leg?" After she stared back at him with a blank look, he leaned back and gaped at her. "You ARE serious, aren't you? How could you NOT know who I am? I mean, after all we've been through!" He was yelling pretty loudly. That was when she realized how much her head hurt.

She reached up to feel it, and found a bandage there.

"What's going on? Where am I?" It was obviously pointless trying to get any information out of this guy. He—or it?—was still stuck on the fact that she didn't know who he was. That was when a doctor walked in, followed by the people she recognized as her family.

"Mom! Souta! Grandpa! Now I know I'm not dead!" she concluded happily. The dog-man thing just got more annoyed.

"Oh, sure, you know THEM!"

The doctor turned to him. "So, you know her?"

"YES! And she should know me, too!"

"Oh, I see then."

And that was when the he shooed her family out of the room and began to question her about her age, her family, school, all that good stuff. Judging by all the sounds he made after every answer, she wasn't sure if what she was saying was right or wrong.

The doctor brought back in her family so he could talk to all of them at once. "It seams as if her memory is, well…" He cleared his throat. "Her memory has been jogged by a few years. She thinks she is 13-years-old."

"What?" chorused five different voices.

Unfazed by the reaction, the doctor turned to the guy in red. "I suppose that was when she met you. In the past year or two, right?" Inuyasha stared at the floor, and the doctor turned to address the rest of the family. "This is temporary amnesia. Her memory should come back eventually, although I cannot say how long it will take. I advise that as soon as she is released, you show her around. Help her remember things again."

Kagome blinked. "You mean… I have amnesia? But, I know who I am! I can tell you my age, my family, my school—"

"—but my name has just so happened to escape you at the moment," Inuyasha grumbled. Souta looked at him sympathetically. Kagome just glared.

The doctor thought for a moment before continuing. "Kagome, what season is it?"

"Winter!" she insisted. "It just snowed yesterday! I can remember, because Souta made a snowman that looked just like his day-care teacher, and Mom made us hot cocoa, and…" she was met with blank stares. "What?"

The doctor walked over the window over looking a courtyard outside and opened it up, inviting the fresh fall air. "It's spring of 2004. Does it look like it snowed yesterday?" A bird chirped as if to confirm the fact that it was definitely not wintertime.

"Kagome, I haven't been in day-care for years," Souta offered.

Kagome smacked her self in the head, forgetting that she had a nasty scrape under the protective bandage. She winced and laid her head back down on the fluffy hospital pillow.

"We'll keep her here for a few more days. Then, I advise you keep physical activity to a minimum, but do try and get your memory back." The doctor walked to the door, turned at the last minuet, and said, "I'll be back in about an hour to check that head of yours. Meanwhile," he turned to her family, "Visiting hours are until 9:00 tonight. Two of you may stay here, if you want, but only two please." With that, he shut the door carefully.

Kagome sighed. Amnesia…ugh… This is insane… She closed her eyes to avoid all the worried glances her 'visitors' were giving her.
