***Disclaimer***: I do not own InuYasha

Remember me

Chapter 11: Fate resumed

Kagome clung to InuYasha's chest as the door began to open and a face appeared. It was a short little old lady with her dark brown hair pulled up into a bun. Kagome let go of InuYasha and stood at ease.

"Miss Higurashi, how wonderful to see you again. Please come in! And who's this new friend of yours?" The maid said inviting the two into the apartment.

The apartment was very elegant with wooden floors and big comfy couches. It was very modern with a touch of classical because of statues and paintings everywhere. The living space was huge with every up-to-date electronic and the kitchen was a chef's dream. Kagome stood in awe, as she couldn't believe she was here. Out of a door came a tall woman with long black hair and curvy figure. She wore a short red dress suit with matching color shoes.

"KAGOME! Welcome back dear!" The woman greeted walking up to Kagome. "What on earth are you wearing?! We have to do something about your hair! Who's this new friend of yours?"

Kagome was overwhelmed by everything that the woman was asking. She didn't even know who the person was. As the woman was taking Kagome towards the bedroom the maid spoke up. "Miss Kikyo, don't you remember that Kagome has amnesia? She won't remember anything."

"Oh sugar, that's right. Please forgive me. I am Kikyo Hamanshi (A/N: I don't know her true last name, if she has one, so I made one up), your coworker and best friend." Kikyo warmly smiled. (A/N: OK!! Attention all you Kikyo haters out there...please bear with me...she's not out to steal InuYasha, just read on...)

Kagome tried to smile. She felt so out of place standing in the middle of the huge entrance area and having a stranger pull her around. Kagome walked back over to InuYasha and held onto his arm. Kikyo folded her arms. "You never did tell me who your new friend was." She asked kind of sternly.

Kagome fumbled for words. "Um...this is InuYasha Takashi." InuYasha waved a hand.

"Well...certainly nice to meet you Mr. Takashi. If you would excuse me I would like to show Kagome around a bit." Kikyo glared at InuYasha while pulling Kagome away.

"Uh...ok...I guess I'll be back in a few hours then, Kagome. Bye" InuYasha waved good-bye and walked out the door.

Kikyo let go of Kagome and walked back into the bedroom. The maid walked over to Kagome and placed her hand on Kagome's shoulder. "It's ok dear. We'll help you get your memory back bit by bit. For starters, My name is Georgina, you always called me Gigi for short, and your favorite snack is strawberry yogurt. How about I get you some right now." Gigi nudged Kagome and walked into the Kitchen. Kagome laughed a bit until she heard Kikyo's voice again.

"Kagome dear! Can you come here for a minute?" Kikyo said.

Kagome nodded and walked over. She walked into the bedroom and was blown away. To the left of her was a huge bathroom with a marble bathtub and in front was a huge, pillow-covered bed with tall bed posts holding up a sheer cloth. The colors were a bit more subtle; more dark reds and blues. Next to the bed was a enormous skyline window looking out onto the city. As usual, there were different types of art pieces and even a bookshelf to decorate the room.

"I want to show you this." Kikyo stated pulling out a gown from the massive walk-in closet. She took the dress and laid it flat on the bed. It was a white, beaded, strapless gown with a long flowing train. "This is your wedding dress. We picked this out two months ago at Devon's. It was the most expensive there one and you just had to have it."

Kagome raised an eyebrow. "A wedding dress? Who am I engaged to anyway?"

Kikyo gave a small chuckle. "You are the luckiest woman on earth. You are engaged to the very owner and CEO of Taisho Corp., Sesshomaru Takashi. You two are to be married in two months."

Kagome's eyes grew wide and concerned. Thoughts filled her mind as she heavily sat down next to the dress. From being in the bedroom, the two women could barely hear a knock on the door.

"I'll be right back." Kikyo said going to get the door.

Kagome watched as Kikyo left the room. She felt a bit more comfortable but things were still spinning. To much information came to Kagome at once. Kagome took a deep breath and headed to the bathroom. It was done in the same colors at the bedroom but with added green. Next to the sink sitting on a small stand was a brush with butterflies and silver trim. Some pieces of the puzzled started coming together. She remembered using that brush all the time because it always made her hair soft and fluffy and that strawberry yogurt always put her in a good mood.

"Miss Kagome, there's somebody in the Foyer for you." Gigi informed sticking her head through the door.

"Thank you." Kagome responded as the maid left.

Kagome walked out of the room and back into the huge living area that she first came into. Now, unlike before, there was some soft instrumental music playing in the background. As soon as Kagome heard this she snapped into another flashback. In the one there's a woman, probably her, standing in her kitchen. Then a tall man --with long black hair pulled back in a ponytail—came up behind the woman and started dancing with her. Kagome shook her head to bring her back to reality.

"Kagome, are you alright? You looked liked you were dead for a minute." Kikyo asked holding onto Kagome's arm.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Kagome stared at her feet in embarrassment. She looked up and saw a tall man holding a bouquet of red roses who looked like the same man from her flashback.

"Kagome, I would like you to meet Mr. Sesshomaru Takashi, your fiancée." Kikyo introduced holding out her arm.

"I'm so glad you're ok darling! I heard about what happened and I was so devastated. Then I heard through the grapevine that you were back here but you have a bad case of amnesia," Sesshomaru said in his deep voice. "Here, I hope this sparks some memories." He held out the roses for Kagome.

She took the roses and stared unemotionally at them. Suddenly the maid came by and took them. "Here, let me put these in a vase with water." Gigi offered.

Kikyo fidgeted a bit and then began to talk again. "Well...since you two are obviously getting married I'll give you guys some space to regain memories." Kikyo bowed and went into the office room.

'Memories? What memories? I don't know this guy at all and I'm supposed to marry him?!' Kagome let her thoughts overcome her.

"So...where should we start? Oh yes...I should tell you about what was going on between us before the accident. I am terribly sorry about your friend Shippo. It's a tragedy to loose a close friend and co-worker," Sesshomaru paused to regain his thoughts. "Anywho, I'm sure Miss Kikyo told you that I'm the CEO of Taisho corp. and that you're the vice-president of the company. We had a great relationship going. Despite you being so busy and not wanting to loose anytime on due-dates and assignments, we still managed to go out and be with each other. You were the most wonderful woman I've ever met and us being married and having two people own Taisho corp. would bring such power and love!"

Kagome just stared and felt lost at what Sesshomaru was trying to say. Nothing rung a bell and she was still in the dark. Without realizing it, Sesshomaru slipped his arm around Kagome's waist and brought her close to him.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Kagome slapped away Sesshomaru's arm and jumping back. She held her arms up to her chest and almost began to cry.

"OH! I am most sorry! Stupid me to forget that you don't remember anything. We can work slow at this, yes we can." Sesshomaru sighed.

Kagome felt overwhelmed again and sat down in one of the silk-lined dining room chairs. Out of nowhere the front door slammed open and a person stomped in. "THERE SHE IS! THE WOMAN WHO STOLE AND KILLED MY HUSBAND!"
