well, its finally here. the moment youve all been waiting for. drumroll please.
(drumroll)
the next chapter of Answers To His Past!
(and the crowd goes wild)
oh, and I just wanna point this out: whenever I write other fics about Inuyasha and Kagome (which, believe me, I will), I will specifically say, InuKag. I do not want anyone to think that I want Inuyasha with that... (lots of little symbols that dontreally mean anything) known as Kikyo. speaking of which, part of this chapteris actually abouther.
I dont own Inuyasha. I own the little memory mishap, though.
chapter 4
Inuyasha sat in the hut by Kagome that night. He seemed to glow in the moonlight that shone in. For a while, he had been asleep. His eyes suddenly shot open, and he immediately smacked something on his neck, waking up Kagome. Inuyasha removed his hand, and something tiny fluttered onto his leg.
Guess whooo?
The thing shook itself back into place and spoke. "Forgive my interruption, Master Inuyasha," it said in a tiny voice.
"Master?" Inuyasha repeated, "... What're you, some kind of mutant genie?"
"Oh, of course, lost your memory," said the thing, clearing it's throat, "Allow me to introduce myself."
"Myoga, where have you been?" the still-tired Kagome asked, "And how do you know about that?"
"I have my ways, Kagome," the flea replied.
Kagome gave him a "give-me-a-break" look. "Right," she sighed.
"Oh-kay," said Inuyasha, "First, the ears, now I actually have a flea? I think I'm more dog than demon!"
Couldn't have said it better myself, Kagome thought.
"So, Myoga, right?"
The flea nodded. Inuyasha turned around and whispered something to Kagome.
"How often does he just jump like that on people?"
"Very."
"I can't believe he did that," Miroku said. He was still stuck on the fact that Inuyasha had... yeah. He sat against the wall, awake and shocked. (a/n: I know, it seems kinda weird for Miroku to react like that, but, hey, its my fic)
"Didn't you hear that Miroku?" Sango was just barely awake, but apparently that smack woke everyone up (except Miroku, who was so stunned, he only closed his eyes to blink.).
"I can't believe he did that," was all she got out of him. Sango stared at Miroku. She leaned over and snapped her fingers a few times in front of his face. Then she waved her hand at him. He didn't budge.
"Miroookuuu?" Sango finally decided to try one last thing. She gently smacked him upside the head.
He didn't move.
"Oh, forget it," she sighed.
(a/n: oh, I almost forgot. I wanted to thank PROTECTOROFLOVE so much for the suggestion! THANKYOUUU!)
"Wait, you're telling me you're one of the bravest guys I've ever met?" Inuyasha stood outside the hut with Myoga in his hand, confused to an unbelievable point.
"Correct," said Myoga.
Inuyasha hung his head in despair, then brought himself back up. "Uhh... I'm gonna need a minute to... sort all this out."
Myoga nodded.
"... Alone."
Myoga nodded again. "... Oh! Okay!" He cleared his throat. "Understood, Master Inuyasha." Then he hopped away.
Inuyasha sighed. He leaned against the hut and slid down so that he was sitting. He looked up into the clear night sky, and said to himself, "Who would've thought it'd be so hard just to know who you are."
"Inuyasha..."
Inuyasha looked behind him into the rustling bushes. Out from the darkness emerged a young woman who seemed to look like...
"Kagome?"
The woman seemed shocked. "Wh-What?... Inuyasha, what would make you believe that I am... her?"
He looked at her, confused. "You mean... you mean you're not?"
She shook her head.
"Then, who are you?"
An immediate pain suddenly struck her. "I-Is this some kind of joke? Am I supposed to think this is funny?" Inuyasha's eyes wandered around nervously. She continued to walk closer towards him. "Inuyuasha, you honestly do not know who I am?"
"Uh, yeah..." Inuyasha was even more confused now than before. "... Wait. What?"
"You don't know who I am?"
"No."
"So you do."
"No."
"But- wait, you think I'm Kagome."
"Yeah."
"But you know that I'm not."
"Right."
"So you don't know me."
"Yeah."
"You do know me?"
"No!"
"What are you trying to say!"
"Who the heck are you!" Inuyasha almost whined.
The woman walked up to him and clutched his arm. "Inuyasha, how could you not remember me? I am your first love, Kikyo!"
Inuyasha suddenly froze. Kikyo... Kikyo... He remembered her now. They used to be together. They used to love each other. That was all he knew for sure. So, why did it seem that Kagome was able to love him, too? Inuyasha looked at this woman, returning to reality. "K-Kikyo..." he breathed. She looked at him. Without giving it a second thought- and probably not even a first- Inuyasha kissed her.
Kikyo was at first shocked. She knew Inuyasha still loved loved her, no matter what, but never in all the time since she had returned had he done... this (at least, not that Ive seen). So she stayed there for a moment, somewhat happy, until...
"Inuyasha."
He jumped. Inuyasha turned around... only to see the real Kagome staring at them. "Kagome!" he gasped.
"What are you doing?" she asked, her voice sounding hurt.
"Uh, I... I... I, uh," Inuyasha stuttered, glancing back and forth at the undead priestess and her reincarnation. He felt himself sweat a little bit as he responded, "I don't know anymore." Tears in her eyes, Kagome walked away. "Kagome, wait!" Inuyasha shouted, taking a step towards her. But she had already left. He couldn't believe himself. Inuyasha turned back to Kikyo, but she had disappeared. He dropped to the ground with a groan.
Meanwhile, somewhere very... very far away, a mirror posessed by a young girl (or so she seemed) had shown her master what had just happened to Inuyasha. A man, the girl's master, smiled. "So, Inuyasha's lost his memory," he said in his regular, villainous tone, a wicked smile on his pale face, "I think we could use this to our advantage." He looked to his side, where a young dark-haired woman stood. "Kagura-"
"I'm way ahead of you, Naraku," she smiled. Kagura ran outside and pulled a feather out of her hair. It immediately grew about ten times it's usual size, at which point she jumped onto it, and flew off in Inuyasha's direction.
Within his castle, Naraku smiled, an evil plot in his mind. He looked back at Kanna's mirror and saw a silent tear fall from Inuyasha's confused eyes. "Cry all you want, Inuyasha," he said, "Soon, all you once knew will belong to me."
omg, six months. its been six... months... since I started writing this fic. wow. Im so sorry its taken so long to update, but the thing is, I write some of my fics on paper first, then type them up on the computer. so yeah, its taken a little while.
