Remember me

Chapter 8: Falling for the first time

InuYasha opened the door to his house and walked in with Kagome following close behind. InuYasha quickly looked around and saw that nothing happened to his house while he was gone. He heaved a sigh and went to sit on the couch. Kagome went to the kitchen and pulled out a soda can from the refrigerator.

InuYasha, feeling relieved, looked around his house not believing that nothing happened. Everything was put back in its place and even the window that was broken was fixed. "Wow, I'm so glad everything is normal again. Hey, what's this?" InuYasha looked down and saw a book lying on the ground spilt open. He realized that it was his book that he purchased after he found Kagome. Where the book was opened was the same part that Kagome was reading before she passed out. InuYasha became curious and asked her. "Where you reading this?"

Kagome looked up from her soda can. "Yeah, I'm really sorry. I just got bored."

InuYasha wanted to throw her out the window. He held back the temptation and just walked up to her. "It's ok, no big deal." 'If any of the guys at work find out about me buying a book like that, I'm threw!' InuYasha worried to himself.

"So, why exactly did you buy that book?" Kagome asked interested.

InuYasha's face turned pale. "Um...." 'C'mon! Think of something!'

"Well?"

'D@mn it.' "I bought it because I don't know much about women." InuYasha turned his face away.

"Ok."

InuYasha raised an eyebrow. 'She doesn't even care! I hate women.'

"Maybe it's time you learned." Kagome smiled.

"That's why I bought the book!! And because yourethefirstwomanilikedandiwanttofurtherarelationship." InuYasha trailed off.

"What'd you say?"

"NOTHING!"

"Oh c'mon!" Kagome smiled and began to poke InuYasha's stomach.

"No poking me!" InuYasha fought back by tickling Kagome.

"Then tell me what you said!"

"NEVER!" Kagome poked even harder trying to get InuYasha to confess.

InuYasha couldn't take it anymore and just let loose on Kagome. He began to tickle her madly and she stopped poking him to try to protect herself. Kagome fell forward and accidentally her lips met InuYasha's. Being held in his arms, Kagome looked up almost ashamed.

"I'm so sorry." She said.

"You worry too much." InuYasha felt a charge and kissed Kagome again. This time it was more deep and passionate. In the middle of the kiss InuYasha remembered that Kagome had to go to Heaven's Gate tomorrow. He pulled away and immediately Kagome clung to his chest. "I know it's a bad time to tell you now, but yesterday, before I left for work, I called a place called Heaven's Gate to see if they could help you with your memory. They said that you could come in tomorrow. I don't know how long you'll be in there, but I'm doing this for the best." InuYasha had a hopeful smile on his face.

"Are you serious?" Kagome asked nervously. "I don't know anyone but you!"

"Dr. Kamanchi is a very good doctor and will take good care of you."

Kagome nodded her head and squeezed InuYasha's arms. 'Hopefully this woman will be gone for good!' InuYasha thought.

InuYasha and Kagome pulled into the parking lot and parked the car near the front of the building. InuYasha helped Kagome carry her bags full of her newly bought clothes and accessories and entered Heaven's Gate. The receptionist sitting at the desk greeted the two.

"Welcome to Heaven's Gate! How may I help you and your lovely wife today, sir?" The woman asked.

"She is NOT my wife! Just a friend." InuYasha barked making the receptionist jump in her seat.

"Ok sir. Do you have an appointment with Dr. Kamanchi?"

"Yes."

"Ok, one moment. Please take a seat over there." The lady pointed over to a set of chairs across the room from the desk.

InuYasha grew very impatient and looked through every magazine in the waiting room. Kagome on the other hand was quite calm and examined everything around her from the hanging pictures to the potted plants. About 45 minutes later the doctor came through a door asking for Kagome.

"Um, Miss Kagome Higurashi?" He asked.

Kagome stood up when InuYasha forced her out of her seat. "Here!"

"Please follow me." The doctor waited for Kagome and InuYasha to catch up and began to walk down the hall. Dr. Kamanchi turned down into another hallway and entered a small cozy room.

"This is where you will be staying for the time being Miss Higurashi. We will be doing some tests on you and will try to help you regain your memory. As for you Mr. Takashi, your time is up and you must go now. Miss Higurashi needs all the rest she needs for the up coming days." The doctor ordered.

"Feh." InuYasha said watching Dr. Kamanchi leave the room. "I guess I should go then." He said almost willingly.

"Yeah, I'll miss you." Kagome said giving one last hug to InuYasha.

InuYasha kissed Kagome on the forehead and exited the room. Kagome stood in the middle of her new room unaware of anything. Then she suddenly realized that the only person she knew in this world was leaving her with a bunch of unknown crazies. "INUYASHA!!!" Kagome screamed.
