Disclaimer: Yo no compro Inuyasha (I don't own Inuyasha :( )
When he turned to the girl, he noticed that she was awake, and attempting to pull herself away from the tree, and him. He watched as she pulled herself along the ground and frowned as he saw the look of pure terror and pain on her face. He thought to himself, ' Is she afraid of me? Is that what is scaring her? Why would she fear me, I just saved her. I saved her, she belongs to me!' He slowly walked towards her. (Showing how easily he could have caught her if he had wanted to) As he came up beside her she gasped in fright. "Please, let me go!"
Kagome looked up at him as he looked at her. He had a look on his face, as if he were trying to remember something. When he ignored her and began to stare off into space in thought, she studied his face. He looked so familiar. His face, she knew his face; who was he. With the remaining courage she had, she asked. "Who are you? And how did I end up with you?" Now he looked at her, but he still had that look on his face. " I do not know who I am. I appear to be a noble from the inu- youkai. In answer to your second question human, I rescued you. In fact, that is exactly where my memory begins, I remember rescuing you and that is as far back as I can remember. I do remember the necromancer I rescued you from said something about me being a half-breed. But it appears that he was mistaken for here I am, a full blood demon."
Kagome was shocked! Could it be? Is that who she sees in his face…Inuyasha? She shuddered as she remembered the necromancer's castle. "Did you by any chance see another member of the inu-youkai clan when you left the castle?" "No, I was the only inu-youkai in the area." Kagome's eyes brimmed with tears. "Oh Inuyasha…" she fell into his arms and cried. "Who is Inuyasha? Was he to be your mate?"
Kagome wasn't entirely sure how to answer that. Was Inuyasha in love with her? "We were … close, really close." Apparently he got the idea, because he moved away a little. "I am sorry, but I was the only inu-youkai I could sense. Kagome's eyes began to tear up again as she replied; " I know who you are. I don't know how it happened but we have to get to Kaede's, she'll know what to do." Kagome smiled as she stroked Inuyasha's cheek. He began to unconsciously purr. "May I ask who I am? And who is this Keade? Is she to be my mate?"
Kagome was almost shocked that the demon side of Inuyasha was so much more polite than his regular half demon form. "You are Inuyasha, we were both taken to the necromancer's castle. Your brother, Sesshomaru and yourself are the only two remaining inu-youkai members that are living, as far as I know that is. You are obviously not Sesshomaru and you have been known to nearly transform into a demon before. The thing is you've never been successful at fully transforming into the demon. I suppose that is why you can't remember anything, because you are still full demon. I just don't understand why you are still in demon form if your life is no longer in danger. Oh, and in answer to your third question, (giggle), no, Keade is a village priestess."
Inuyasha stood up and turned to walk away. He paused after a few steps and turned back to the girl. Did he love this girl? Is that why he took her with him and could not kill her? Was she to be his mate? It would seem so, and he trusted her, her story did make sense. He would have to trust her and find out.
Kagome understood why he was remaining silent as they walked the path to Kaede's village, but she still missed his voice. They continued to walk in silence until Inuyasha stopped and, emotionless mask in place, asked, " has it always been this way?" "What do you mean Inuyasha?" "Have I always loved you this much? Even if my memory is gone, I still feel a connection with you, Kagome have I always loved you?" Kagome's jaw just about dropped as he said this, even though his memory was gone, he still remembered her? He remembered how much he loved her, how strongly he felt about her. (Wow) Kagome smiled up at him and said, " Inuyasha that's the first time you've ever said that to me." Kagome wasn't sure what to say, and was even more nervous about what else he might ask, "there it is, Kaede's village."
"Kagome, you're back! Who is that? Where's Inuyasha?" "Nice to see you too Shippo" Kagome smiled as the kitsune ran around her smiling. "Shippo please go and tell the others that I must speak with them, it's urgent." "Sure thing Kagome!" And with that Shippo was off.
"So ye don't know how it came to pass?" "No, Keade. I was unconscious when it must have occurred and Inuyasha doesn't remember what happened."" I'd imagine he wouldn't. Well, this isn't the first time this has happened, there have been cases where hanyous have transformed, but in those cases they abandoned their demonic blood. In ye case I don't know. The hanyous that did transform were only known to do it in dire cases. For a hanyou to transform abandoning their human blood, who knows how long it will take for him to return to normal, he may remain this way forever. We shall just have to wait it out."
Inuyasha had left when everyone had moved to welcome the girl, Kagome, back. He had moved off into the forest and had decided to sit in a tree to think this over. It was there that an hour or so he smelt a scent that he recognized. He continued to look out into space as Kagome, now wearing one of Kikyo's old priestess kimonos, brought a rather large bowl of food out and sat below the tree. "Inuyasha? The ramen is ready."
As Kagome ate the noodles she noticed that Inuyasha was staring at her. As she finished her noodles, she began to pile the bowls together when suddenly she was in the air flying from tree to tree. " Ah! Inuyasha! What are you doing?!" "A demon is approaching the village, you must escape." "Why? What do you mean escape, we have to save the village! We can't just leave those helpless people to die and run off like cowards." "Would this please you? To save that village?" Kagome nodded her confirmation. Inuyasha gently sat Kagome down in the higher branches of a tree and jumped back towards the village.
It was a moth youkai. Inuyasha was slashing his claws through its web when the poison began to seep into his cuts causing him to falter for a moment. That moment was just long enough for the moth demon to flap it's enormous wings and send him straight into a tree. The demon was just about to shoot a string of it's poisonous silk when all of a sudden it shrieked in pain. Inuyasha turned to see Kagome with a purple energy bow and arrow poised in the air aimed at the moth demons one remaining wing.
Inuyasha smiled as he passed out from the poison; Kagome had followed Inuyasha despite his command to remain back in the forest. It was a good thing she did too, otherwise there might be nothing left of him, now her only worry was the poison streaming through his body. She focused on her energy bow and allowed another arrow to appear, she fired. Bulls eye. Her arrow pierced the beast's heart. She fell to the ground where she stood. As she glanced beside her, she saw Inuyasha trying to fight off the effects of the poison… death. With her last bit of energy, Kagome crawled over to Inuyasha and, using her miko powers, healed him of the poison. Then she fell to the ground, all of her energy having been drained. "I'm sorry Inuyasha, this is all I can do for you… you will live…"
