Disclaimer: no…no Inuyasha for me :(

"Oh, ok then, well what do you want to do?" Kagome asked, acting all jumpy.

"Well I have to go see an aunt of mine, want to come?"

"Sure! This sounds like fun!" Kagome said skipping ahead of Inuyasha. Inuyasha pulled out his cell phone (A/N ok so I don't know how he can get a cell phone to fit on his ears and mouth but hey...use ur imagination ok?) and called Miroku. He told him to meet them at Kaede's house.

Chapter 7: Help!

Inuyasha and Kagome arrived at a shrine close to their school. Kagome looked very confused, but followed Inuyasha into the house part of the shrine. The house was old and creepy. The paint was peeling and had turned a grayish-white because of the sun. The window frames were cracked and the door creaked, but once they were inside the house took on a different feeling.

Instead of a feeling of being watched Kagome felt a kind of warmth that comes from a place long lived in. Inuyasha watched as different emotions rapidly flicked across her face. After a while she was still standing there. Inuyasha grabbed her arm and led her inside.

"Inuyasha, is that you?" a girl asked, as she came out of the doorway Kagome felt that she had seen her before/

"Uh, yea Sango. Hey can I talk to you for a minute?" Inuyasha said. "Kagome, I'll be right back ok?" he asked in Kagome's direction. Kagome just nodded and looked confused.

"Hey Sango, I told Kagome that Kaede was my aunt, so keep up the pretense and remember, her memory is gone. Tell Miroku that he has to keep control of that damned hand of his. Oh, and I'm gonna tell her you're my cousin and Miroku is your boyfriend, so play along," Inuyasha whispered quickly.

"Uh, ok. Wait, my boyfriend!" Sango asked confused.

"Just do it!" Inuyasha hissed angrily his eyes starting to go a shade of pink.

"Ok, ok, I'll do it," Sango said hurriedly running inside to tell the rest of the group about the 'plan'. Inuyasha turned back towards Kagome and found her looking very confused.

"Who was that Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"Uh...my cousin Sango," Inuyasha said worried that Kagome would see through his lie.

"Oh, ok." Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's arm and took her into the room Kaede was in. Inuyasha entered the room and greeted Kaede.

"Hello auntie, how are you?"

"I am doing well Inuyasha, and who is this young lady?"

"Uh, this is Kagome," Inuyasha said, trying to give Kaede a hint about who Kagome was.

"Inuyasha, is this the girl you were talking about earlier?" Kagome, totally not paying attention, was just looking around, oblivious to everything.

"Uh, Kaede, this is Kagome" Inuyasha almost yelled at her and Kaede finally understood who Kagome was.

"Kagome, do you want some tea?" Kaede asked.

"Yes please Kaede," Kagome said politely.

"Inuyasha, come with me. Ye must help an old woman make some tea," Kaede said. Inuyasha followed her into the kitchen.

"Come on old woman. You said you could help. How do we get her memories back?" Inuyasha demanded.

"First you must get her to drink this powder, then you have 3 days to find three different objects."

"What are the objects old hag?" Inuyasha started to yell.

"Well ye must have patience. Only Kagome knows what these three objects are. That is what the powder is for."

Kaede brought out the tea and handed each of them a cup of tea. Sango and Miroku took their tea and started to talk to Kagome. She couldn't seem to remember much about her family or friends. Only that she lived in a shrine. Inuyasha quietly dropped a note into Sango and Miroku's lap telling them about the three objects. After a few minutes everyone got quiet. Kaede started to chant something and Kagome's eyes closed.

"Kagome, can you hear me?" Kaede asked.

"Yes Kaede," Kagome said in a monotone that sent chills up everyone's spine.

"That is good. Now you need to tell me the first three things that come into your mind."

"Um, feather of Phoenix, tail of a fire fox, and tooth of newt."

"Alright, that is good. Is this the exact order you thought of them?"

"Yes."

"You can open your eyes now Kagome." Kagome opened her eyes and looked around. She sighed and asked for some more tea. Inuyasha gave her some more and she took it gratefully.

"Mmmmm, this tea is really good Kaede. I just got really tired all of a sudden."

"Well, I have to go now, so goodbye Kaede," Inuyasha said standing up. "Do you want to go now Kagome?" Inuyasha asked turning towards her.

"Sure," Kagome said jumping up. "Bye Kaede, bye Sango, by Miroku," she said waving.

Kagome went inside her house waving back at Inuyasha. He really is cute Kagome thought. Maybe I can get to know him better.

Inuyasha left Kagome's house and thought I hope we can get her memories back, but if we don't then I guess we will have to try and make her remember the hard way. He jumped up to a branch in a large tree by Kagome's house to make sure no one tried to mess with her.

Inuyasha almost fell out of the tree when his cell phone going off jerked him from his sleep. He grabbed the tree branch with one hand and his cell phone with another.

"What do you want?" Inuyasha yelled into his cell.

"Don't you want to help Kagome?" a voice said.

"Well of course I do. Wait, Miroku?"

"Haha, did I scare you?"

"MIROKU! Don't ever do that again," Inuyasha demanded. "What time is it?" he said rubbing his eyes.

"Oh, about 6:30 am," Miroku said indifferently.

"6:30 am?"

"Yup, well we do have to find a feather of Phoenix. Meet Sango and I at the mall ok? I think I have an idea." With that Miroku hung up, not wanting to hear Inuyasha yell about having to be up so early.

Inuyasha walked over to the group's normal meeting spot. He saw Sango and Miroku sitting at a table and talking over a piece of paper.

"Hey guys," he said walking up to their table. "What are you looking at?"

"This is what Kagome needs to get her memory back. Miroku wrote it down word for word," Sango said.

"I have an idea," Miroku said. "See, in the first one she says feather of Phoenix. If she meant an actual Phoenix Feather then that is what she would have said. So we need to find a place, or person, named Phoenix so we can find a feather of it, or in it, or whatever."

"That is a good idea Miroku," Sango said smiling at him and Miroku smiled back.

"Wait, did I miss something?" Inuyasha said smirking.

"Uh, no," Sango said blushing slightly.

"Uh-huh. You keep saying that Sango," Inuyasha said with a sneer. "Well, let's get started then. Phoenix...Phoenix" Inuyasha muttered over and over. "Guys, I think I found it!" Inuyasha said sounding excited. Miroku and Sango looked up a the sign and read 'Phoenix Down'.

"Good job Inuyasha!" Sango said happily.

Ok, well that's the end. I will write more later, but school day tomarrow and all, so ya...R&R pplz...thanks
