Chapter 23-Forgotten

Inuyasha awoke late in the morning the next day, painfully attempting to get up. He sat up on his futon, grunting as he got used to the pain.

'It really isn't too bad... Probably the poison in Sesshoumaru's claws... The worst is over.'

He thought. He sighed, looking out the window, and regaining his thoughts. He stared out into space until he heard Shippo's voice behind him.

"He's really awake! Come see!"

He squeaked, running into the hut, and up to Inuyasha. Behind him were Miroku, Kagome, Koga, Sango and Kagura.

"How're you feeling mutt?"

Koga asked as soon has he stepped in.

"...I'll live I guess... I'll be back on my feet in a few days."

Inuyasha replied.

"Yes, your wounds are much better than before, but I doubt you'll be fully healed that quickly."

Kagura stated.

"Keh, wanna bet?"

Inuyasha replied, pulling his red haori on over his white under-kimono. While he did so, Sango glanced at the door longingly, but looked back at Inuyasha, half hiding behind Miroku. She couldn't bring herself to look at him however, and looked down at the ground below.

"Hey, Sango, Miroku."

Inuyasha said.

"Huh?"

Miroku said.

"What're those rings? You guys engaged or something?"

Inuyasha asked, and instantly, there was an awkward silence as they all looked over at Miroku and Sango. Inuyasha glanced around, confused.

"What? Did I miss something?"

"They ARE engaged."

Kagura said, breaking the awkward silence. The group flinched, but Inuyasha merely looked surprised.

"Oh? Well, congratulations to you two."

He said with a smile. The rest of the group stared at him in confusion and disbelief, but Inuyasha didn't seem to notice.

"Hey, what... Where's the wind tunnel?"

He asked, and the group stared at him with stupid looks on their faces.

"Hey, mutt, did you get brain damage or something? We killed Naraku, it's supposed to be gone now."

It was Inuyasha's turn to look stupid.

"What? When? How?"

"Hmm, I guess he forgot more than what he'd done when he was in demon form this time..."

Kagura suggested, and Kagome spoke.

"Let's get out of here; Inuyasha still needs to rest a bit."

She insisted, and the rest of the group followed as she ushered them out.

"Hey, hey wait! I want some answers!"

Inuyasha called, but it all went ignored as the door shut behind them. He tried to get up and follow, but soon regretted it, falling right back down onto the futon.

'Damn it, what the hell is going on! Hey, come to speak of it, why's the wolf here? Wait, why's KAGURA here! Damn it!'

Inuyasha thought, growling. Out of frustration and confusion, he clenched a fist, and slammed it down on the futon.

"He doesn't remember..."

Kagome said as the group was well out of range of Inuyasha's sensitive ears.

"Yes, Kagura was right, he's forgetting more and more every time he turns into a full demon, and we let him stay in that form for too long."

Miroku said.

"He's forgotten that we've even killed Naraku, and if he's forgotten that, he also must have forgotten how we killed him too."

Kagura added.

"I also find that congratulating the two of you is strange."

Kagome said, glancing at Miroku and Sango.

Miroku sighed, staring fixedly at the ground. Sango did the same, remaining completely silent. She looked heartbroken.

"It's just a guess, but I think he's forgotten his whole relationship with Sango."

Miroku said.

"We'll just have to ask what he does remember."

Kagome said.

"If he doesn't remember everything with Sango, I guess you two really can get married..."

She said also, looking down.

"Let's head in..."

Sango finally said in a quiet voice. She didn't wait for a reply as she made her way back to her temporary hut. The group slowly followed, making their ways back to where they were staying. Kagome went back to Kaede's hut where Inuyasha was, avoiding his angry questions.

"Kagome, what the hell is going on!"

Inuyasha demanded, and Kagome answered,

"We'll tell you when you're all better..."

"I AM 'all better'!"

He yelled, but it was no good. Kagome wasn't going to talk.

"Keh! Fine then!"

He snorted, and rolled over to face the opposite direction of her. He fell asleep soon after.

Kagome

I can't believe how things have turned out... We all thought Inuyasha was dead, even Kaede. It was all just supposed to be false hope that some day he would wake up again, but it came true. It's great that he's alive, but even if he won't show it, he'll be hurt emotionally when it is time we reveal to him what's been going on, and that time doesn't seem too far away. Why did Miroku have to propose to Sango? And why did she accept? I thought being with Inuyasha meant being with him eternally... But, then... Does this mean I still have a chance of being with Inuyasha? I sigh, sick of thinking so much. I grab a blanket, pulling it over me, and falling asleep.

Sango

He's really alive... This isn't good... I unravel my scarf, which covered my bandage near my neck. The wound Inuyasha gave me the first time we did it. It's started to sting, and the wound's somehow opened again. I plop down on my futon, sighing. I think Miroku is right, Inuyasha's forgotten everything he had with me. That's... Good...

Well, short chapters these days... REVIEW!
