It was finally here the day when Inuyasha was supposed to be released. He had been cooped up so long he had almost forgotten how nice it was to be outside. He was putting his clothes in a bag when he heard a knock at the door. He looked to see that it was Kikyou.

"Hey are you ready to go?" she asked him.

"Yeah I can't wait to get out of this hellhole."

"Good some fresh air will be good for you."

"Hey um Kikyou?"

"Yes." She answered him.

"Can we go to the beach?" He had the hopeful look of a child on his face. How could she even begin to deny that face?

"Of course we can." Inuyasha signed his release papers and then they left the hospital together. Inuyasha took a moment to breath in the fresh air. "It feels so good to be outside again."

"I imagine it would since you haven't been outside in two weeks."

"Kikyou what did you do while I was in the hospital?" he was now curious.

"I was so caught up in between work I haven't had much time to relax."

"Oh." Inuyasha began to realize that she was burying herself in work so she wouldn't have to focus so much on his amnesia. He knew that he couldn't really blame her for that. From the hospital they drove straight on to the beach. It was still early so there weren't that many outside. Inuyasha went straight for the water while Kikyou watched him from the sand. He looked to be carefree and relaxed; that was exactly the way she wanted him to be. The absolute last thing he needed to be was stressed. When he realized that Kikyou hadn't come after him he went back over to her.

"Hey why didn't you get in the water?"

"You go on I'll be fine."

But instead of doing what she suggested. He picked her up and ran straight for the water. She got completely drenched with water. Only she somehow didn't mind when she saw that Inuyasha's hands were still around her. "Inuyasha why did you throw me into the water?"

"You needed to relax. I can't think of anything better than getting into the water."

"Thank you I guess."

"You're not mad are you?"

"No your right I do need to relax." She sat down on one of the rocks and he joined her. By her surprise he rubbed her shoulders. "How did you know that I needed this?"

"I didn't I just sort of guessed."

"Oh well thank you anyway Inuyasha."

"Did I do this a lot?"

"No only when I was stressed."

Moments later he stood up. "Are you ready to go home?" he asked her.

"Home?"

"Yeah. Our home I mean we do live somewhere don't we?"

"Yes let's go home." She never thought that she would be happy to hear those words come out of his mouth. It had felt so different when he had asked her if she was ready to go. During the drive home neither one of them really said too much. Kikyou was wondering what she had to expect when they would get there. It was going to be a new experience for him. When Kikyou pulled up to the house Inuyasha stared in awe.

"We live here."

"Yes home sweet home."

"It's a nice house are you sure that I live here?"

She grabbed him by the arm. "Yes silly we live here." The inside of the house was even more beautiful than the outside. Inuyasha looked around the house everything was new to him. He didn't remember anything about the house what so ever. He soon picked up a picture of him and Kikyou. The couple in that picture looked to be so happy and so in love. He began to wonder if they would ever have that again. She saw him staring at the picture.

"Kikyou when was this picture taken?"

"Oh that was at Keade's 17th birthday party. They caught us off guard in that picture."

"Oh." He nodded. He set the picture down and started to walk through each room. There was nothing that remotely familiar to him. It was like stepping into a brand new life. "Well I'll go get dinner started."

"Kikyou wait."

"Yes."

He then picked up another picture. "Where was this taken?" he asked.

"It was taken at Sesshomaru's house. Why don't you remember?" She paused for a moment she had not meant to say that to him.

"No I don't remember!"

He threw the picture at the wall glass shattered instantly. "I'm sorry Inuyasha I didn't mean to say that."

"Why can't you get that I don't remember?"

He stormed up the stairs moments later the door slammed. She decided to leave him alone for awhile. Since she had been the one to get him so upset in the first place. "This will be a lot harder than I first thought." She whispered.
