Hmm, well, writer's block is hitting me badly... Review!


Chapter 25-Old enemies

"We really have to make up something or tell the truth to Inuyasha, this is driving me crazy!"
Kagome said, annoyed.

"We'll tell him after Sango and I are married…"
Miroku replied. Kagome, Miroku and Sango were in a small discussion behind Kaede's hut, Koga and Kagura watching and listening in.

"When's that going to be?"
Kagome asked, sighing.

"We've planned it to be next week…"

Sango said quietly, staring fixedly at the ground.

'Hmm… This just isn't right. What is that girl thinking? She's supposed to be with Inuyasha. If he starts to remember, which shouldn't be too long, he'd probably… Ugh, she doesn't know what she's getting herself into…'

Kagura thought, waving her fan idly as she listened to the conversation.

"Well, we'll just have to see when that time comes."

Miroku said.

'What kind of monk is this guy supposed to be?'

Koga wondered, frowning.

'Taking advantage of the mutt and stealing his woman when he was unconscious and now when he's lost his memory. If I was him and remembered everything, I'd teach this guy a lesson, I'd smash his head in.'

"Well, whatever, sort it out amongst yourselves, my companions and I are leaving tomorrow."

He said, and Kagome turned to him.

"What? Where are you going?"

She asked.

"I don't know, but out of this village for sure. The people are nice enough and all, but it feels unnatural for me to be with all these humans and such, I need to be in the wild."

He said.

"Oh… It's going to be sad to see you go…"

She replied, and Koga just flashed a smile as he walked off.

"What about you Kagura? Will you stay?"

Kagome asked,

"I guess so; I have nowhere else to go…"

She replied simply.

"Well, let's head in now, the sun's starting to set…"

Miroku said.

"Yeah, let's go."

Kagome said, and the group headed back to their respective huts. When the group had walked off, Inuyasha jumped off his hiding place under the hay on the roof of Kaede's hut, and landed where they were just moments ago.

"Damn it, just what are they keeping from me?"

He asked himself irritably.


Sango slid the door to her hut shut, and seeing that Kohaku wasn't back, plopped down on the futon, sighing.

'Everything's just so complicated now…'

She thought sadly.

'I really thought he was dead when he fell fighting his brother... I never thought things would turn out like this…'


Inuyasha jumped up on his favorite tree on the outskirts of the village, he sighed and closed his eyes, deep in thought.

'It's definitely about Sango.'

He thought.

'What's the big deal? Why does everyone except me seem to know the secret? Damn it, if I just didn't screw up on the fight with Sesshoumaru… That bastard, even when Naraku's dead, he takes his place of making my life harder. But I wonder what happened to him.'

Just then, the sound of nearby footsteps made him jerk up, and relaxed when he smelled their scent. It was just Kagura.

"Yo, you awake?"

She called, but inuyasha pretended not to hear her, lying back down.

"Hey, I need to talk with you."

"Keh, now you want to talk. Some 'friends' you guys are…"

Inuyasha replied coldly.

"Well I'm not really supposed to tell you, but as a friend, I think I should."

"Why isn't anyone telling me about the big secret you guys are keeping?"

He asked, slipping off his branch.

"It's because…"

Kagura stuttered, sighing.

"Listen, things aren't how they should be… After you fought with your brother."

"What do you mean?"

"Your memory, you've forgotten everything."

Kagura replied awkwardly.

"What're you talking about? I remember fighting with him after we killed Naraku. I transformed into my full demon form, and got myself pretty badly wounded."

"There're other things you've forgotten."

She said.

"Like what?"

Inuyasha asked, getting annoyed with all the suspense.

"You know Miroku and Sango are getting married next week."

She said.

"Yeah, I've heard."

He replied.

"Doesn't that make you feel… Hurt in any way?"

She asked, looking directly into his eyes.

"What? Why would I be…?"

But now that he thought about it, he felt a sudden heaviness in his heart.

"No, why would I be hurt?"

He lied.

"Because Inuyasha, you love her."

She said finally.

"W-what did you say!"

Inuyasha demanded, stepping back in shock.

"You love her."

She repeated.

"Sango?"

He asked, getting a nod.

"Ha ha… You're joking…"

He said, laughing.

"I'm serious. I've watched you, you marked her as your mate before you killed off Nara-"

"Shut up!"

Inuyasha yelled, anger burning in his eyes.

"I've done no such thing! I don't love Sango and I'm sure as hell that I didn't mark her as my mate!"

"I know you've done it, you've just forgotten it!"

Kagura replied.

"I said shut up! I really thought you'd changed Kagura, but you're still the same bitch that tried to kill us and now you're trying to screw me over."

"I'm not lying, and I'm telling you, you did mark her as your mate! Go look for yourself!"

"Shut up, shut up!"

Inuyasha yelled,

"I'm not gonna believe that shit; if we were mates, then wouldn't Sango have said something? I don't want to hear any more of this, I'm leaving."

He said, and stormed off.


'Hmm, that didn't go to well…'

Kagura thought to herself walking back to her small hut.

'Well, at least now he can't say that I didn't tell him so when he does remember. Now that I've gotten that off my shoulders…'

"Kagura, how could you! We trusted you!"

Kagura jumped, surprised to see Kagome who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

"Why'd you tell Inuyasha!"

"Hmph, he was bound to find out."

She replied, as if she was uncaring.

"Not if you didn't tell him!"

"Well, did you think Sango and the monk would be happy together if Inuyasha was suddenly cured of his memory problem?"

She asked.

"U-um… Well…"

Kagome stammered.

"I don't know why she accepted his proposal, but Inuyasha probably won't be too kind about it. She's made a terrible mistake, and she'll probably pay for it with her life."

"W-what! How can you say that? Inuyasha would never do such a thing."

"Wake up! If you hadn't noticed, Inuyasha's quite different from you. Demons mate for life, get it? Even if Sango's a human, she should have known that if she's learned about demons all her life as a slayer. If Inuyasha remembers everything he had with her and finds out she's marrying the monk, Inuyasha might kill her."

"T-that's…"

Kagome staggered, shaking.

"Hmph, well, it was her fault."

Kagura said, and walked off briskly.


'Keh, Sango my mate. What a load if shit, I can't believe I listened to that!'

Inuyasha thought angrily as he walked deeper into the forest. He ended up at the edge of a river in a small clearing, and sighed, sitting down.

'I don't remember anything like that...'

He thought covering his face with his hands, and closing his eyes.

"Damn, just how much did I forget!"

He asked himself, pounding the ground in anger. He tried to remember again, but his impatience prevailed, and he gave up.

"Keh, I'll remember sooner or later… But one thing's for sure; Sango always was and still is just a good friend to me."


Well, there's the chapter, I'm running out of ideas and don't know if I should keep going or just end this quickly. I'll start responding to reviews here now!
