Well, I know how you all seem to stick to this fic like rats to trash, so I decided to make it my first priority. However, my newest edition to the family is quite attention grabbing. Please check it out for my pride's sake. 'Angels & Demons'.

Kagome rested her head against chest as they danced slowly to a famous song by Utada. No matter how comforting his presence was, she couldn't get Inu-yasha off her mind. When the song finally ended, she parted with a smile, and went to find him again. What she didn't know was that he was avoiding her.

She glanced around nervously, sensing eyes upon her. Kagome ran into something very fixed to the ground. Rubbing her head, she looked up at the object, and gasped.

"Sesshou-maru?!" She looked around for somewhere to hide.

"That won't be necessary, human." He said coolly, looking slightly flustered. "How'd you know my name, anyway?"

"You don't remember either?" She asked doubtfully. Her own memories of the past seemed to be fading as well, like it had been only one big dream.

"Remember?" He said with a strange look in his golden eyes. "What is there to remember but things of the past? What is that past to you, Kagome?"

"So you do remember!"

"What is here and now is only what is important. Don't let that slip away from you."

"You're making too much sense! What happened to that heartless demon that I met and battled with...?" She wasn't sure how many years. Either it was five hundred and fifty two, or just two.

"I made a drastic change. After Rin..." He let his eyes shift to the ground. "Go find him, he has questions for you."

"Hai..." She turned slowly from him, still cautious of his speed.

When she blinked, he was gone.

"Why does she act so strangely?" Inu-yasha asked Hojou. Finally, he had the man cornered.

"She said something about her ex-boyfriend. What I think is that she should just forget about him, but clearly she's still madly in love."

"With a betraying bastard? Why?"

"I don't know..."

"Sorry guys." Kagome interrupted, smiling sheepishly. "Either of you want to dance?"

"Yeah, but I want to dance with Ayame. You don't mind, do you?" Hojou said, his eyes wide.

"No, not at all." Kagome said quietly.

When the two were sure that he was a safe distance away, Kagome sidled up to him.

"Tell me, Inu-yasha. Does the picture still shift on the new moon?" She asked him. If it did, he would immediately know what she was talking about.

"How...?!"

"I've... actually, I've known you for a while."

"I feel the same way." He said, hanging his silver head.

Kagome glanced up at him.

"Ever since I saw you that first day, I felt that something I had missed for eternity had come back to me. My past is a blur. All I can remember is that there was something special that I left behind." He placed his face in his hands, and tried to control the emotions that flooded into him all at once.

"But you did leave something special behind, Inu-yasha." She said with a small smile. "You left your heart."

"I don't understand!" He said loudly, his eyes pleading. "Help me!"

"In time, you will recall exactly what happened. Meanwhile, you want to dance?" She held out a hand and on impulse, he took it.

The music was fast, and Inu-yasha felt his heart rate quicken. The girl in front of him was pressed to him fully. This girl was special.

The music ended before he got to enjoy himself, and the DJ began to usher people out of the gymnasium. Kagome clung to Inu-yasha for dear life as the students pushed their way out. When they were outside, the cool air refreshed her immediately. She didn't notice she was still holding his hand. Part of her wanted her old Inu-yasha back, while the other part wanted the softhearted boy who cared.

'Inu-yasha used to care too.'

"Kagome, tonight was fun." He whispered in her ear.

"I know. I had fun too." She turned around, and hugged him heartily. "Don't leave me ever again."

He placed an embarrassed kiss on her head.

"I won't."

"Promise?"

"Promise."
