Remember me

Chapter 14: Back in the act

"He wants to see me again? It seems kind of soon for that, don't you think?" Kagome asked setting herself down on the couch.

"It obviously doesn't seem too early for them I guess." InuYasha shrugged his shoulders and sat next to Kagome. "I wonder what they want now..."

InuYasha turned his head and looked at Kagome. She seemed to be troubled a bit but it didn't stop her from sporting one of her great smiles. Kagome leaned over and gave a soft peck on InuYasha's lips. His cheeks turned bright red. "What was that for?"

"I just wanted to say thank you for everything." Kagome said turning her head away in embarrassment.

InuYasha felt kind of bad. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about." He said taking his hand, putting it under her cheek, turning her head and started to kiss her lips. Kagome was in complete surprise when they pulled apart. She thought InuYasha would never do that.

"You're welcome." InuYasha responded with a smile. Maybe things were looking up for him. Kagome started to giggled and pulled out a pillow to start hitting InuYasha with. He screamed and started hitting her back with a pillow of his own.

EARLY the next morning the two got up, got ready and headed out for the doctor's office. It was a typical drive up with the both not talking much. They arrived and sat down in the waiting room waiting for the doctor to ask for them.

About ten minutes later a door opened and there was a nurse with a clipboard standing there. "Miss Kagome Higurashi?" She shyly asked.

Kagome and InuYasha rose and followed the nurse to an examination room where Dr. Kamanchi was sitting. "Hello again. Please, have a seat there Mr. InuYasha and Miss Kagome you can sit on the examination table." The doctor asked while looking through his papers.

"What's the reason for Kagome coming so soon?" InuYasha asked kind of angrily.

"Now now. From what I see from the test results and current status of her recovery, it shows that Miss Kagome is ready to live back in her own apartment." Dr. Kamanchi said getting up. "But to confirm if she IS ready we need to do one quick little test." The doctor helped Kagome down and had the nurse that was standing in the doorway take her to the testing room.

"So what am I gonna do?!"

"Stay here and wait...it won't be long." The doctor finally said and shut the door. InuYasha growled and sunk into his chair.

THIRTY minutes went by before the doctor and Kagome returned. The doctor took his seat and flipped through the many papers that he had while Kagome sat quietly back on the table.

"So...what exactly did they do, Kagome?" InuYasha asked curiously.

"Nothing really. Just tested my basic motor skills and memory I guess." Kagome responded softly.

"Feh...I thought they were gonna do some anal probing or something like that." InuYasha chuckled to himself. Kagome just raised an eyebrow.

"No...that wouldn't be necessary, Mr. InuYasha." The doctor commented turning around on his chair. "Just as I thought...you're friend here is ready to go home!"

"Oh...um...ok...uh...thank you doctor." InuYasha said a bit in shock. "Is that all you wanted?"

"Yes, that's all. So what I need you to do is let her stay at her place. If it becomes too overwhelming, just let her stay at your place and try again in a few days. I will need to see her back though in three months to check up. If anything happens, call me." The doctor said leaving the room.

Kagome and InuYasha looked at each other and walked out of the office.

KAGOME sat on InuYasha's bed while he was in the bathroom. InuYasha finally walked out and grabbed a duffle bag that was sitting near his dresser. He set it on the bed next to Kagome and started putting her clothes and such in it.

"What are you doing InuYasha?" Kagome asked.

"Well...the doctor said that you're ready to live on your own now so I'm packing your things." InuYasha said trying to avoid looking at her.

Kagome just looked down at her feet and jumped off the bed. She helped gather her stuff, mostly what InuYasha bought, and packed it. "You want to know something?" Kagome asked out of the blue. InuYasha looked at Kagome and didn't say anything. "I'm really going to miss you, you've done so much for me. And sooner or later I want to repay you."

InuYasha's emotions were getting the best of him. He didn't know whether to say that he'll miss her too or just be his old stubborn self when it came to emotions and women. InuYasha placed the last item in the bag and zipped it. He looked up at Kagome and closed his eyes. "Let's go." He said softly, picking up the bag and walking out the door.

Kagome followed loosely behind holding another bag with her things. Half of her was disappointed at InuYasha's response, but the other half wasn't surprised. He was a guy and guy's don't know how to express their emotions very well. Kagome sighed and sat down in the car to head for her real home.

AFTER a quiet trip to the apartment complex, the two finally made it. The bellman greeted Kagome and InuYasha and took the bags from them. Kagome looked around the huge lobby and saw that everyone was looking at her and waving. InuYasha sunk down and walked closer to Kagome. They made it to the elevator and up to the right floor.

Walking down the hallway they came to Kagome's Apartment where her bags were sitting outside her door. InuYasha picked up both bags as Kagome opened the unlocked door. Kagome looked around to see if anyone was there and she only saw the maid who was dusting some bookshelves.

"Oh hello Miss Higurashi! I heard the good news that you're well enough to stay here! It's so wonderful to see you again!" The maid said putting down her feather duster.

"Hello again..." Kagome said, still amazed at the luxury apartment.

"I see you brought your friend back with you again. Nice to see you again." The maid addressed InuYasha and bowed. "I can take her bags, Sir." InuYasha handed the maid the bags and she scurried to Kagome's bedroom.

When the maid was out of sight Kagome turned around and hugged InuYasha. InuYasha was startled a bit but looked down at Kagome's sincere face and began to stroke her long, dark hair. Maybe he was going to miss her. InuYasha placed his hand underneath Kagome's chin and made her look up. Once their eyes met, InuYasha leaned in and passionately kissed Kagome.

They pulled apart and kept staring at each other. "I...I...I should be going...I hope everything works out for you...you know my number so just call me if you need anything." InuYasha said opening the door and began to walk out.

"WAIT!" Kagome said quickly. InuYasha stopped immediately. Kagome stopped right next to InuYasha and kissed his cheek. He smiled and shut the door behind him. Kagome heaved a sigh and walked towards her real room. The maid was just coming out of her room.

"Would you like anything to drink m'lady?" She asked.

"No thanks. I'm fine for now." Kagome smiled. She walked the rest of the way to her bedroom and saw that her bags were sitting on her bed, halfway unpacked. Kagome shrugged her shoulders and decided to unpack the rest of the way. She took out some shorts, tops and a bright colored sundress.

Taking the clothes, Kagome opened the closet door to reveal a huge walk-in closet. Everything was neat and orderly. Looking at the hanging clothes in the closet and the clothes in her arms, and what she was wearing, she felt underdressed and intimidated. Various colors and styles of business suits and work clothes were hung in a small portion of the closet. Several evening gowns were clustered together along with more casual, designer dresses. Despite all the fancy clothing, Kagome noticed that there was a small section of designer lounge-wear and yoga clothes. Kagome took in a deep breath and started looking for places to put her clothes at.

While Kagome was searching for places, she noticed something big and white in the very back corner. It caught her attention and went to see what it was. Kagome pulled away the other things that were in the way and gasped when she realized what the item that she saw, was.
