Remember me

Chapter 19: Come back to me

Kagome didn't realize what was going on until she looked up. Sesshomaru had already placed his arms around Kagome's waist and started to move to the music. He had taken Kagome away from InuYasha like a mother would take an empty bottle from her baby.

InuYasha stood in the middle of the dance floor watching Kagome and Sesshomaru dance away. Several couples started walking out onto the floor as InuYasha walked off. He saw Miroku and Sango get up from their table and walk to the dance floor.

"I'm so sorry InuYasha!" Sango gave InuYasha a soft hug.

"Don't worry about it…" InuYasha said without emotion.

"Hey man…you can chill at our pad later if you want." Miroku offered.

"Thanks, but no thanks." InuYasha sat down at the table as he watched Miroku and Sango walk away.

InuYasha hung his head and tried to hold back the tears. 'No! InuYasha no! You're a guy! Be strong!' InuYasha yelled at himself. "Why am I being like this? Letting a woman get the best of me…"

…Kagome was stuck in his arms. They were like chains without a lock. Sesshomaru wasn't going to let go; Kagome knew that. So many thoughts raced through her head. How was she going to get away? What is InuYasha thinking? Where IS InuYasha? Trapped in a never ending embrace, Kagome started to give in.

Just as she felt overcome, Kagome sensed something not right. Her stomach started to churn and her head began to spin. Kagome had never felt like this. She also felt as if so many things were rushing back to her.

Kagome looked up at Sesshomaru and noticed that he was still in the trance of the moment. She had to think of a quick excuse to breakaway.

"Um…I'm…I'm sorry…" Kagome broke free from Sesshomaru's grasp and ran off the dance floor. It wasn't the best thing, but it had to be done.

Sesshomaru was left standing there alone, stunned.

…Just as InuYasha was going to get up, someone approached him. Once he saw the person's face, he melted.

"Ka…Kagome? I thought you were with Sesshomaru?" InuYasha asked puzzled.

"Please take me somewhere…anywhere!" Kagome pleaded.

"W…why?"

"I'll explain on the way!" Kagome grabbed InuYasha's wrist and started to walk out the door.

"What if people see that we're leaving?"

"Who cares!"

InuYasha followed Kagome's orders and went out to his car. They both got in and InuYasha started the car up.

"Where do you want to go?" InuYasha asked before he pulled the car into gear.

"I don't care."

"Ok…we'll just head back to my place."

…The drive was long and quiet. Kagome still wasn't feeling good and InuYasha was trying to think of what was going on. He had no idea what was going on with Kagome.

They finally made it back to the house as InuYasha pulled into the driveway and turned off the engine. He got out and walked around to open the door for Kagome. By the time InuYasha got to the other side of the car Kagome was already out, but was leaning on the car and heavily breathing.

InuYasha got a hold of her and helped Kagome to her feet. "Are you ok? Why didn't you tell me you weren't feeling well?"

"Ugh…just get me inside…please…" Kagome softly said, then hung her head.

InuYasha decided to carry Kagome the rest of the way as he tried to walk as fast as he could. Entering the house, InuYasha moved over to his couch and laid Kagome down. Kagome's dark, ebony hair was tossed on top of the throw pillow as she tried to keep her eyes open.

"You care to tell me what's going on now?" InuYasha asked, now kneeling next to the couch.

"I don't…know…what exactly…is going on. I feel dizzy…like…everything is…trying to slam into me…"

"What is?"

"Memories?"

Was this it? InuYasha tried to keep calm as he tried to think of what to do. "Do you want me to call the doctor or take you to the hospital?"

"No, no. I want…to wait to see…how I am…in the morning." Kagome turned her head and ran the back of her hand on InuYasha's cheek and smiled.

InuYasha started to feel warm inside. A feeling that has been absent from him. He took his fingers and drug them through Kagome's hair. They stared deeply into each other's eyes for what seemed like an eternity. Neither Kagome nor InuYasha dared to move for fear of loosing the moment.

"You want to get more comfortable since you're not feeling well?" InuYasha asked, getting closer.

Kagome had a feeling of what was going on. "Yes, I'd…like that."

Something was coming over InuYasha. This wasn't like his normal self. InuYasha threw his stubborn self far away and brought out the loving part of himself. He leaned over and kissed Kagome on the lips. Butterflies flapped their beautiful wings in Kagome's stomach as well as InuYasha's. Kagome wrapped her left arm around InuYasha's neck to pull him closer. Before they could get any farther, InuYasha picked Kagome up, bridal style, and walked into his room.

InuYasha laid Kagome on the bed and continued to kiss her. He was on top of her and caressed her soft lines. Kagome's skin was like silk to his fingers. Each kiss that was exchanged was like a new day rising. InuYasha and Kagome got lost in each others love as the night dragged on. Nothing could separate their tender embrace. Not even Sesshomaru.

The soft sunrise gleamed through the window and shined down on the two resting lovers. Kagome adjusted her position next to InuYasha to make herself more comfortable. The sunlight reached Kagome's eyes, waking her up.

Kagome shot up and started to breathe heavily. She held the blankets that covered herself close to her chest as she looked around the room. She was naked and so was the man next to her; who was still sleeping.

"Where the hell am I?" Kagome whispered to herself.
