okay, on with the fic....

chapter 2: So, What Happened??

The day had started out like any other-- but you've already been through that. Anyway, Kilala was helping Inuyasha work on his techniques with the Tetsusaiga. (man, that's a LOT when you're typing it.) Miroku watched, and later on took him on himself.... (that, too.)

"Just don't go cryin' to Sango when ya lose, Miroku," Inuyasha smirked.

Miroku smiled, thinking about a certain demon named Goshinki (from the episode 'Tetsusaiga Breaks'). "Well, at least I've never broken my weapon in half," he replied (I mean his staff, people!).

Inuyasha growled. "I dare ya to say that to my face!"

"With pleasure."

Inuyasha came charging at Miroku. Both were ready for anything the other was planning to throw at him. Well, almost anything.

Miroku fended off Inuyasha's claws with his staff -- constantly. Then Inuyasha got an idea:

"Oh! Uh, hi," he said with a whistle as if a girl had passed by. Of course, Miroku turned around to see this "woman", and Inuyasha kicked him to the ground. "Man, you're easy," he sighed.

Miroku got up. "I'll get you back for that one." he said.

"I'd like to see ya try."

A little more time passed. Kilala watched the fight as she transformed to her kitten size. Eventually, Miroku did get Inuyasha back for his trick....

It took a while, but Miroku had set Inuyasha a pretty good distance away from a tree. Then he turned around and smiled.

"Oh, hi Kikyo!"

"Wha- ?" Inuyasha peered over Miroku's shoulder. That was when the monk's plan went into action: He grabbed Inuyasha with his staff and then threw him off, sending the half-demon flying towards the tree.

SLAM!

Inuyasha hit the tree, then fell to the ground. "Right," said Miroku, "And you think I'm easy to fool?" He only got concerned when Inuyasha didn't respond. He ran over, Kilala following close behind, and saw him on the ground unconscious.

"You threw him. Into a tree?" Kagome said, her eye slightly twitching. Then she got furious. "YOU MADE HIM LOOK AND THREW HIM INTO A TREE?!!?!"

Miroku freaked out. "Look, Kagome, I'm sorry--"

SLAP!

"Ow! Can you warn me the next time you do that?"

Kagome paused for a moment... then smacked him again. So by now, Miroku's entire face looked like a cherry, and he was twitching in pain.

"Kagome, you shouldn't have to treat him like that," Sango said sweetly. "I'll handle him." She took Miroku by the arm, and walked outside with him.

The following noises were heard:

THWACK!

a very high pitched OWWW!

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" (Boy, did they attract some attention.)

Sango and Miroku walked back inside the hut. Miroku tried to keep a straight face, but miserably failed."What was that for?" he squeaked, holding his legs in pain. (Yeah, guess where she kicked him.) Angrily, Sango didn't answer.

"Miroku," Kagome sighed, "You. Can be such. A jerk."

Shippo hung his head. Then he heard something. "Hey guys!" he called, "Inuyasha's waking up!" Kagome, Sango, and Miroku looked to Shippo and Inuyasha. In a blink they were right next to him.

"Inuyasha...." Kagome breathed.

Inuyasha opened his golden eyes and finished Kagome's sentence: "Are you okay?"

Uhh... "I'm fine," Kagome said gently, "How're you feeling?"

"Not so good." Inuyasha rubbed the back of his head. "I feel like I slammed my head into a tree."

"Uh, yeah well...." Sango said as she glared at Miroku, "I think SOMEBODY can explain that."

Miroku sighed. "My apologies, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha sat up a bit and stared strangely at him. "Do I know you?"

"Yeah, very funny. I already apologized, so I'm waiting for someone to forgive me...."

"Uh... no, really," said Inuyasha, "Who are you?"

Oh. Great, Sango thought. She picked up Kilala and held her in front of Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha," she said, "Who's this?"

"Well, she's cute, I'll give her that."

"Oh, you really think so? Because lately I've been-- What's her name?"

"Uhh... I- I don't know."

The worried look in Sango's eyes turned into a glare."Way to go, Miroku," she said to the monk, "I'm guessing you hit him a liittle too hard."

"Look," said Miroku, "How many times do I have to--" This time, he recieved a whack on the head from both girls. (I guess he's used to it.)

Shippo jumped over. "You okay, Inuyasha?" he asked.

"Wait....... Oh, that's my name! Sorry, I thought you sneezed." At that, everybody fell backwards anime-style.

Kagome walked over to him. "Inuyasha," she said quietly, "You... don't remember me?"

Inuyasha thought for a minute. Her face seemed familiar, and she was very beautful, but he really had no idea who this girl was. "...No," he said, "I'm sorry."

Flashback

"It wasn't just your face that changed," she told him.

Just yesterday, a demon had snapped the Tetsusaiga in half, and Inuyasha's demon side took control. Kagome, to be honest, was scared.

"It was like you were someone else. Like you had forgotten who we were."

Inuyasha (who was human, might I add.) comforted her, in a way. "Don't worry. I'll never forget you or the others. I'm always gonna be the same guy you've always known. No matter what."

Kagome smiled. She looked up into the clear, star-filled sky. (btw: this was at night, of course.)

Don't forget us, she thought, Please, don't forget us, Inuyasha.

End Flashback

Kagome's broken heart lept into her throat.

A tear fell to the floor.

don't tell me: too long. i know, i know, u got me on what's up with it. i figure the first chapter will have been shorter than the others'll be. oh, by the way, the flashback is from 'Kaijinbo's Evil Sword' (i think i spelled the guy's name right), which was the episode right after 'TB'. pleez r&r, and thank you to my first three reviewers ever:
