Chapter 14-Returning Memories, Fading Pasts

"Kagome?" A familiar voiced asked; the usual spunky voice was tinged with worry and fright. Someone was shaking her, and she moaned, opening her eyes, but closing them again at once as the blazing sun blinded her momentarily.

"Kagome," a soft voice sighed with relief from beside her head.

"I'm not sure what is going on…" Kiseki groaned. Her head hurt terribly. "Where am I? What…who…where…why…how…" She didn't know what to say, she struggled up, and opened her eyes, using one hand to shield her eyes and block out the sting of the sun rays.

"Why, Kagome, don't you remember?" The gentler voice asked, taking a piece of her hair and brushing it out of her eyes.

"Kagome?" Kiseki asked. "I'm not Kagome…am I?" Kiseki was momentarily stunned. She had gotten all of her memories back, but had now forgotten them again.

"Kiseki!" An angry voiced thundered. The earth around her seemed to shake. She turned around and saw an angry middle-aged man stomp towards her.

"Who…are you?" She asked.

"Don't ask stupid questions you stupid girl!" The man roared. "Now stop playing games and come on! You have been gone five hours! Much longer than needed to buy a simple thing! You bi-" He roughly grabbed her wrist and yanked her off the ground, a piercing pain shot through her shoulder.

"Stop right there!" The woman with the gentle voice screamed firmly. Her voice no longer gentle, but fierce and angry. "What are you doing with my Kagome?"

"Kagome?" The man's gruff voice snorted. "What kind of name is that?"

"A very lovely one!" The lady answered, glaring at the old man.

"No! A very stupid one! Just the perfect one to match this pile of shi-"

The lady crossed the short distance between her and the old man, and in a fit of fury, slapped him across the face, the sound on skin against skin with such a great force echoed through the empty block.

The man let go off Kiseki, to rub his hand against the now, beet red handprint on his cheek. Then, after recovering from his shock, he advanced on the lady.

"You-you-you-" Was all he could stammer. His voice was filled with outrage and his mind was clouded with anger and hate for the woman.

"You bastar-" I woman was about to yell back but was interrupted by the spunky voice that came from beside her. She had almost forgot about the owner of the voice until now, she turned to view his face.

At the sight of the amber eyes masked with anger, the silver hair tousled around from fitful sleeps, and strange yet cute ears that she had the urge to play with, her heart skipped a beat. Who was this? What was this? It could not be a human, for humans did not have dog-like ears perched atop their heads!

"I'll handle this." The voice interrupted. "You bastar-"

"I can fight for myself Inuyasha," The woman cut him off with gentleness, yet strictness. "After all this bastar-"

"Stop it!" yelled Kiseki. "Stop it! Stop it now! All of you!" Her voice echoed, and the man, the woman and the strange man all stared at her, startled.

"What is going on?" A childish voice asked, and in an instant a young boy stepped in to view, his eyes were wide. "I was sitting in the house and I heard yelling and people calling someone a bastar-"

"Don't dare swear young man!" The woman cut him off, giving him a warning glare.

"I wasn't going to…" He lied. Kiseki looked around from face to face and then to the scenery. To the deserted neighborhood, to the bright white house and to…a shrine.

With a well in it leading to the feudal era, She thought, surprising herself. Then, for the second time that day, she regained her memory, full blast.

This time, she didn't faint, but instead, she yelled in overpowering pain.

"Kagome, what is going on?" shouted the little boy, the gentle-voiced woman, and the strange man.

"Kiseki, what are you playing at?" Boomed the old man.

But all their voices were drowned as memories, faces and names pushed themselves into her head.

Inuyasha Momma Sota Kouga Shippo Kagura Naraku Shikon Jewel Miroku Sango Kilala The villagers Kaedae Kanna Sesshomaru Jaken Candy Treats…

"Don't forget my treats,"

"Why do you have to go back anyway?"

"Besides, if you are not wearing clothes, it will be fine with me!"

"That was for being a pervert! For being yourself!"

"Good-bye Kagome!"

In her mind's eyes, she saw the face of the strange man next to her, the face of the gentle woman and the face of the young man. But she didn't see the face of the middle-aged man.

Instead she saw a woman with chocolate-brown eyes much like hers, and long silky black hair reaching down to her waist up in a pony-tail perched atop her head. Then she saw a man's face. He had a pink slap-mark on hischeek, but he was smirking mischievously, like a little boy who had just eaten all of his Easter chocolates after being told by a firm mother, not to. Next, she saw the face of a little boy with light brown hair with the hint of orange and red. He had emerald-green eyes, and his face was covered in chocolate. He was laughing merrily; unaware of the torture she was going through just to view his face.

Kiseki collapsed to her knees, and rested her palms on the hard cement of the drive-way to the house she was in front of while she suffered. She gagged; the sour taste of vomit filled her mouth. The contents of her stomach splattered on the ground, but she was in too much pain to notice.

The pictures began to blur, the voices began to mix with each other, and only one name was being said over and over again.

Kagome

She was being blind by the images flashing before her; it was as if someone was fast forwarding a tape in her head.

"Why won't it stop?" She shrieked, her voice shrill, but there was so much chaos going on in her mind, she couldn't even hear herself.

"What is going on?" A gentle voice asked, and she felt a warm soft hand lightly stroke her back, causing her to throw-up once more.

Kagome Kagome Kagome Kagome Kagome Kagome Kagome Kagome Kagome Kagome

"Kagome!"

"Kagome! Snap out of it!"

"KAGOME! PLEASE!"

A hand shook her violently, knocking her out of her dreamy state, and back into reality, to the present.

Her eyes snapped open, and she found that she was lying in her own bed in her own room, back in her own house.

"Kaggy," Her mother's voice sighed with relief. "I'm so glad,"

"Mom!" Kagome cried, and her mother's strong arms wrapped around her tightly in a death-grip.

"Kagome!" Another voice smiled. It was her brother's.

"Oh, Sota!" Kagome grinned.

And soon Sota's head poked out from behind her mother.

"Feh," It was Inuyasha voice. Though she could tell that he was trying so hard to hide that he had been worried about her, it still showed through clearly from behind his flimsy mask of boredom.

"I had such a nice nap!" Kagome smiled, gently pushing her mother away so she could stretch. "Ouch!" She exclaimed in surprise as she noticed the many bruise, cuts and dried blood that sprinkled her body. "Whoa! Did I do that in my sleep?"

"Honey," Her mother's voice was soft. "Don't you remember?"

"The only thing that I remember was coming back to here last Monday, when I slipped and fell in a puddle…after that…heh; I can't remember a thing after that! Nothing! How strange!"

"No, not really…"Sota disagrees. "This bastar-"

"Sota!" Her mother interrupted. "Language please!"

Sota rolled his eyes, but continued without a single curse. "Well anyway, this dude who calls himself 'Sando' or 'Senza' or something…I don't really care for the guy's name…well anyways…he said that he took you when he found you lying on the ground in a puddle. And then thought that you would make a great slave…but he says,"-at this point Sota's hands turned into tight fists-"The guy says that you were an awful servant! Can you believe that bastar-"

"Sota!" His mother interrupted yet again. "Here, let's let Inuyasha explain to Kagome while we go out in the hall for a little chat about language."

"What, me?" Inuyasha asked, wide-eyed, but her mother didn't hear him because she had already shut the door with a sharp click and had dragged Sota out along with her. Inuyasha sighed. "Well, this Senzo guys takes you and…yeah. He confessed all this stuff to us, so we told him to get his damn ass off your property. Then we called the doctor, he came over, and said that you had forgotten your memory from this lump on your head…" Inuyasha explained, reaching over a tapping her lightly on the head beside the lump.

"Ha," Kagome said aloud thoughtfully. "How did that get there?"

Inuyasha raised his eyebrows. "You weren't listening, were you?"

"I was!" Kagome yelled angrily.

"Was not!" Inuyasha replied.

"Was!"

"Wasn't!"

"Was!"

"Wasn't!"

Was! Now shut up or I'll say 'sit'!" At the sound of the 'sit' word, Inuyasha was pulled to the ground by the cursed necklace.

"Wench." He mumbled from the ground.

"Oops, sorry, I didn't mean to say 'sit'!" Kagome apologized, but again, Inuyasha fell to the ground as he struggled up. "Oh, I said 'sit' again!" Again, Inuyasha fell to the ground.

"Stop it!" Inuyasha commanded angrily.

"I don't mean to say 'sit'!" Kagome explained. "Oh no, I said 'sit' again!"

Inuyasha fell to the ground innumerable times, before a tiny crack formed in Kagome's floor. The crack soon became a hole as Kagome 'accidentally' repeated the cursed word that caused Inuyasha to be dragged down to the ground with great force.

The hole enlarged and soon, Inuyasha fell right through the floor to ht first floor of the Higurashi Residence.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted down to him. "Bad boy! You broke my floor! Sit boy! And this time, it was on purpose!"

Inuyasha's body crashed down painfully on the wooden floor of the Higurashi kitchen.

"So, why did I want her back again?" Inuyasha mumbled to himself.

Kagome over-heard this question and scowled.

"You better take that back!" She yelled to him from her room.

"Or what?" He challenged.

"SIT BOY!" Kagome answered, and thunk went Inuyasha's body banging against the floor.

Kagome smiled happily. Though she didn't really understand what had happened the past months, she knew that she had been gone for a while, so she smiled with satisfaction and stated, "It's good to be home."
