A/N: To anyone who is reading this..I'm so sorry for the delay...really long delay. I've had a lot going on and then I lost my notebook where I wrote the story...and then I had computer trouble...and everything else. On the plus side, I have several new chapters for you.

Chapter 2

The sunlight that streamed through the scarcely covered windows pierced the concious of a sleeping, white-haired Inuyasha. Like a bolt, it vanquished the peaceful dreams of the hanyou and awoke the agitation that normally consumed him. The amber orcs that were his eyes snapped open and Inuyasha sat up. Glancing about, he tried to recall where he was. The hanyou thought and thought but he couldn't remember. He then, frustrated, concentrated harder until he was fuming. (A/N: No, not literally.) with an exasperated sigh, Inuyasha smacked the floor. hearing this, a miko's face appeared in the doorway.

"Oh! You're awake!' she chirpped cheerfully. Inuyasha stared at her blankly. The priestess walked into the room and placed a cool hand on his forehead.

"No fever. That's good. other than that, how are you feeling? Do you hurt anywhere? Inuyasha? Why are you looking at me like that? Hello? Answer me!" Inuyasha just started at the girl. Finally, he found his voice.

"Who the helll are you?" The miko's eyes widened and she laughed nervously.

"Y-you are j-joking, right? I mean...heh heh...you can't not know who I am...right? After all, Inuyasha, we ARE getting married in a week."

"That's nice...But, WHO ARE YOU!"

"Kikiyo, your loving fiancee."

"F-f-fiancee? Since when?"

"We've been engaged for 5 months now, and the wedding is in a week."

"Oh." Inuyasha responded dumbly. Slowly all this information sunk in and Inuyasha stared at Kikyo with bulging eyes.

"Wedding! Oh no no no no no! We are NOT getting married! Geez, I don't even know you!" Kikiyo's eyes teared up. Her lip started to quiver and she turned away.

"Aww, c'mon now...Don't cry!" Inuyasha pleaded. Surprisingly, the abscence of memories had mellowed the half-demon.

"I-I-I-Inuyashaaaaa! I thought you loved meeee!" Kikiyo wailed. Inuyasha stopped. An image flashed before his eyes. It was a girl. She was smiling. At that it was gone. Gone before he could place her. He was brought back to reality by a loud sob.

"ki-Ki-Kikiyo. Don't cry. I'm sure I must love you very much. I did propse didn't I? I'm just not sure about anything right now. I'm positive everything will be fine. What happened anyway?" Inuyasha struggled to soothe the shaken woman. Kikiyo faced him, her face red and tears streaming down her face. She sniffed then answered.

"Y-you hit your head. The doctor...he said that you'd be fine, when you woke up. But now you're awake and you're not okaaaaay!" Kikiyo finished, starting to cry once more. Inuyasha stood there, waiting for Kikiyo to stop her fit. he was too occupied by thought to spare her even a brief moment of his mind. The unknown girl's face kept appearing before the hanyou's eyes. soft, brown eyes with silky black hair. her name. That was infuriating Inuyasha. He knew that he was familiar with her. Were they friends? Enemies? If he could only remember her name! Inuyasha opened his eyes, which had been closed in concentration.

"Kag-" he started but was interupted by a figure storming in. The stranger, for he was this to Inuyasha, looked first to the crying Kikyo and then to the startled half-demon. His gaze then returned to the woman and he scowled. Kikiyo stared at him, no longer crying. The new man absently brushed a strand of white hair out of his face as he waited for the priestess to speak. Finally, she found her voice.

"S-sesshomaru..."
