'Thoughts'
(Me annoying you)
LAST TIME...
Inuyasha was thinking along the same lines, 'This... I'm finally holding Kagome, MY Kagome. After ten years I'm with her again. We'll get your memories back Kagome. Then we can finally be together,' He felt her hot sweet breath on his skin. Oh how he wanted to taste them but knew he couldn't. He didn't want to scare her. He held her close to his human body as her eyes slowly closed as they both fell into a peaceful slumber.
THIS TIME...
Inuyasha work up the next morning in his demon form. He soon realized that he slept with Kagome in his arms the whole night although; she wasn't in his arms anymore. He looked around and sniffed the air trying to catch her scent. He began to worry, he just found out Kagome came back to him and she would die...again. He burst into the hut to come face to face with Miroku, Shippou and Miko. "Where's Kagome!"
Miroku looked at Inuyasha, "You haven't changed. Always worried about Kagome when you don't see her."
"Shut up Monk and tell me where she is!"
"You have nothing to worry about my friend. She's safely with Sango at the hot springs."
Inuyasha breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she was safe, that's all that mattered. He crossed his arms and sat down.
# # #
"Ah...that feels good"
"Yea, it's always nice to have a hot spring bath,"
Kagome nodded in agreement. For some reason, to her, this felt...natural, like she use to do this with Sango before. She enjoyed it.
"So Kagome...tell me about your family."
"Well my fathers an Inu demon and my mothers a human but one day she died while my father and I were defeating a demon that attacked the village. That's when I met Mike."
"Mike? Who's Mike?"
"Oh right, you don't know Mike. Well he's my boyfriend. We've been together for two years now and once I got this whole dream thing figured out. I was going to ask him to be my mate." A blush appeared on her face, while Sango's face was totally different. Her mouth was WIDE open. She had a shocked look. 'Oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no. She can't, she loves Inuyasha. Even if she doesn't know it! Inuyasha's heart will be broken. Oh no Kagome you got yourself in a BIG mess.'
"Sango? Hello? YOU WHOO!"
"Yea...sorry, I kinda dazed off."
"Right...let's head back before the others come looking for us."
Sango nodded, "Yes your right" They began to get dressed and headed back to the village. On they're way back to the village three little village girl and one boy stopped them.
"Kagome! Can you teach us more about herbs today?"
She giggled, "Of chores. I'll see you later Sango!" She said as she waved to Sango. Sango waved back as she continued to walk back to the hut. When she reached the hut she couldn't believe what she saw. There was cloths food, herbs and other stuff all over the walls and floor.
"MIROKU! What happened to the hut?"
"Uh...Hi Sango dear."
"Don't Sango dear me! I leave you to take care of Miko for twenty minutes and you go and destroy Keade's hut!"
"Where's Kagome?"
"Oh well she's... wait, don't go changing the subject on me! You've got a lot of explaining to do. You and Miko are both going to clean this hut, and no lunch until then."
"Aw, but mommy!" They both wined.
"No buts now get cleaning!"
"But..."
"NOW!"
They both nodded as they began to clean the hut. Sango sighed, "Kagome's just with the village kids. In case you were wondering Inuyasha." Sango continued to yell at Miroku while Inuyasha left the hut. He caught Kagome's scent and followed it. He reached an opened field; he jumped into a tree and watched her play with the village kids. It reminded him of when he would watch Kikyo teach the village kids. He watched her as she whispered in one of the little girl's ear. The little girl ran towards the tree he was sitting in. She looked up with her childish eyes and yelled up ay him; "Lady Kagome says that you can either come join us or stay up there and spy on her." The little girl giggled. He looked down at her and jumped down. The little girl grabbed his hand and led him to Kagome. His face was shocked as the little girl continued to giggle. She brought him to Kagome then ran off to find more herbs with the other kids. Kagome looked up and smiled at him, her fangs overlapping her bottom lip.
"I see you decided to join us."
He responded with a nod as he watched another little girl run up to Kagome and showed her a herd. She smiled as she began to explain what the herb did. The little girl nodded and ran to where the other children were.
"Inuyasha?"
He looked at her wondering what she was going to say, "Yea?"
"I was wondering, ever since I told you about my dreams you've been following me. Why?"
He stared at her wondering what to tell her. 'What the hell am I going to say? Oh well you see you are Kagome. The Miko Kagome that died ten years ago and these dreams are memories of your past life and I'm following you because I was in love with you and still am. Yea right, she would think I was crazy.' "Uh...well you see..."
"Kagome!" All the village children yelled when the cut Inuyasha off. Inuyasha breathed a sigh of relief. The children came running to her, she bent down on one knee and listened to them. "Kagome, we have to go home for lunch now"
"Okay, I'll walk you guys home." She stood up and gabbed their hands and began to walk towards the village. Inuyasha fallowed with his arms crossed. He walked behind her as she dropped each of them off at their huts. They both walked back to Keade's hut in silence not saying anything. Kagome didn't feel well, she felt like something was wrong like someone she cared for needed her. She stopped walking as a figure came into her head.
# # # #
A man in a white baboon pelt was there. She recognized him from her previous dreams. "Naraku" she said before passing out.
# # # #
Once Kagome dropped the last village kid off Inuyasha followed her through the village back to Keade's hut. They continued to walk in silence when a smell hit Inuyasha's nose. 'What's that scent? It smells like a demon...a powerful one but...I can't smell it anymore. What's going on?' He snapped out of his thoughts when he saw Kagome stop walking. 'Did she stop because she smelt that demon?' "Kagome are you okay?"
"Naraku" she murmured as she fainted.
"Kagome!" she yelled while running to catch her before she hit the ground. He looked at her pale face, not knowing what was wrong he picked her up bridal style and ran towards Keade's hut. "Keade!:
"I Inuyasha, what's troubling ye?"
"What's troubling me? WHAT TROUBLING ME? What's troubling me is that Kagome fainted for no fuckin reason!"
"Kagome!" A worried demon slayer yelled.
"Inuyasha, lay Kagome down here" Keade instructed.
He nodded as he placed Kagome down on the mat. Not leaving her side he sat down right beside her. He watched as Keade dipped a white cloth into hot water and ringing it out placing it on her forehead. Sweat dripped down her face. Keade looked up to face Inuyasha, "Are ye sure nothing caused her to faint? Think hard Inuyasha, did ye feel anything? Did she see anything?"
"I told you old hag she just..." she stopped when he remembered what she murmured before she fainted, "Naraku"
Sango and Miroku stood up when they herd him, "What do you mean Naraku?" Sango yelled.
Inuyasha paused for a moment recalling the events. "We where dropping the last of the village kids. We then began to walk back when I caught a demons scent. The scent disappeared right after I realized it was there then she just stopped walking and said Naraku's name before fainting."
"But Naraku's dead! You killed him Inuyasha...didn't you?" Sango asked worried and she held her child close to herself as if she was going to lose him.
Inuyasha nodded, 'Could that demon's scent of been Naraku? But I killed him, ten years ago! He can't still be alive, can he?' Inuyasha's white fuzzy inu ears caught the sound of movement near by him. He turned to see Kagome's hazel eyes flutter open. She slowly sat up as she brought her hand up to her forehead.
"Kagome!" Shippo exclaimed. "Your alright!" she looked down to see a happy little kitsune.
"How you feeling Kagome?" Sango asked, as she came to sit by her friend. Kagome's face was still pale. She was scared because of the dream she had and Sango saw that. "Kagome what's wrong?"
Kagome turned her gaze to Inuyasha. He looked back at her wondering why she was staring. Then something caught his eye, her eyes looked at him and began to water. 'Is she crying? but why?' "Kagome are you...?" he was cut off when she stood up and ran out of the hut. He was about to run after her when he was stopped by Miroku's voice.
"Wait Inuyasha!"
"What?"
"Before you go after her we all need to talk."
Sango nodded, "Miroku's right"
Keade nodded as well. "Feh, fine"
# # # #
Kagome ran blindly through the forest not knowing where she was going until she stopped; right in front of the well. She sat down and leaned against the well. She covered her face with her hands as she sobbed into them. The images of the dream she had began to flow back in her mind.
.::Dream::.
Kagome stood there in the darkness. She couldn't see anything. It was pitched black.
"Hello?"
Suddenly a beam of light shone in front of her. She couldn't see who was there so she took a step forward, a figure appeared. She recognized him right away as....
"Naraku"
"I'm glad you recognize me hanyou.... Or should I say Miko"
"Miko? But I..."
He laughed evilly, "Oh no young Kagome. You are a Miko, you just can't remember. That's not what I wanted to speak to you about but...I mine as well tell you" She paused for a moment. "You are Kagome Higurashi, village miko and a reincarnation of the former village miko Kikyo. You are actually not from this time, but from the future. You were pulled down a well and ended up here. You had the Shikon No Tama in your body. Soon after you stumbled on Inuyasha, he was pinned to a tree for fifty year by the miko Kikyo. You where able to free him seeing as you where her reincarnation. Sadly, while a demon was trying to steal the jewel it shattered into many shards. You and Inuyasha both teamed up to retrieve the jewel shards. Soon friends join you in this quest; Shippo, Miroku and Sango. I was also trying to get the jewel. On the final battle between us you died saving Inuyasha. Nine months later you were reborn.
"Reborn, but how?"
"This is the first time it's ever happened. I guess Kami knew I was still alive and thought only you could defeat me." He smirked, "Your heart soul and mind where reborn into this body making you reborn and not reincarnated. You are the same Kagome you where ten years ago just can't remember everything, but you will eventually."
Kagome understood everything but what was odd was if they were enemies why was he telling her. "Why are you telling me this, I mean were enemies right? Why tell me, you could have took advantage of me."
He laughed "I would have been able to but there are other ways to hurt you. Plus I came here to warn you"
Kagome became worried. "Wa...warn me? Of what?" Suddenly two beams of light came into the darkness. One on each side of Naraku.
"You will have to choose Kagome, of your love now or your past love."
"What do you mean by past love?"
"I mean who you love now...Mike or your past love...Inuyasha"
She froze, 'My past love? Inuyasha? Is that why I felt connected to him?' "How do I know your not lying?"
The wind began to pick up...
((A/N: what wind? It's a dream!))
... as her black/brown hair blew, she herd Naraku speak his finally words to her. "You don't have to but remember this, the one you don't choose...will die"
.::End::.
Kagome lifted her head, her face stained with tears. 'Mike, Inuyasha. I don't know who. I love Mike but according to Naraku I loved Inuyasha, and for some reason I believe that. It makes sense, if I loved him. I don't want either to die but maybe, I should choose Mike. I'm in love with him now. I don't even remember being in love with Inuyasha. For all I know maybe he didn't love me back OR now I don't love him witch I don't right?' All this thinking made her frustrated. She needed to know if what Naraku said was true, and fast. She stood up and began to walk towards Keade's hut.
# # # #
Kagome left the hut a little while ago and Inuyasha was getting impatient. He wanted to go after her to see what was wrong. He sat down waiting for someone to talk. "What the fuck did you want old hag?"
Keade nodded. "Baba and I believe young Kagome's times growing shorter"
"What do you mean by shorter? Is she dieing? Tell me!"
Keade smiled, "Calm down Inuyasha, she's not dieing, just her dreams are now more intense"
"I agree with Keade" Sango began. "Kagome was scared... really scared. I saw the fear in her eyes. Something in that dream frightened her."
Inuyasha looked from Sango to Keade and back. 'Was she scared of me? When she looked at me I saw that fear Sango was talking about but it had a mix of sadness. Oh Kagome was your dream about me?' "What can we do?"
"I don't think there's anything we can do but hope" Miroku said.
"What happens if she doesn't get her memories back soon?" Shippo asked.
Keade sighed, "People will take advantage of her, that demon ye smelt before Inuyasha probably knows Kagome doesn't have her memories; he could get her to "join him." We will have to be careful and keep and eye on her"
"No you wont" Came a voice from outside the hut. They all turned their heads to see...
A/N: oh... another cliffy. And a poorly planned one. I'm so evil aren't I? Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Who is the mysteries person that came to the hut? Is it...Sesshomaru? Is it...Naraku? Is it...Hojo??? confusion Where did Hojo come from? Well... to tell you the truth. It's not a mystery. I will update the next chapter after 15 reviews from 15 DIFFERENT people. Till next time....
PEACE................................SMOCH..............................................LOVE YEA!!!!
