Future Lives

Chapter 2

HE'S A WHAT!

At six o'clock exact, Kagome walked the length of the shrine grounds she had lived at not four years ago, when she had gotten her job. 'Four years ago…'

Flashback

Kagome ran inside the house full of happiness and joy, "Mom, grandpa, Sota… guess what!"

Kagome's small family ran into the hall that lead to the front door. "What is it Kagome?" Her mother asked, smiling at the look on her daughters face.

"I got the job at Tanaka Mon Company!" Kagome said as she started to burst out of joy.

End Flashback

"That's where I heard his name before." Kagome said thinking of Inuyasha Tanaka Mon. "…but I didn't know Mr. Tanaka Mon had any family left, and Inuyasha can't be his son, Mr. Tanaka Mon has never been married."

Kagome went into the front door, not even bothering to knock. "I'm here." She announced.

"Ah, Kagome I just finished setting the table, you're right on time, as always." Her mom said sticking her head out the dining room. Smiling, Kagome walked into the dining room and took her normal seat at the table. "Kagome we need to tell you something about your "hero" Mr. Tanaka Mon." Kagome who had just picked up her chopsticks nearly dropped them back onto the table, but with some much practiced skills caught them and looked remarkably calm. She had looked like she had never even almost dropped the chopsticks.

"What about him?" Kagome said in a calm voice. If it had been anyone else they would have been fooled, but this is her mom for crying out loud.

"Kagome," Her mom said smiling knowing she had shocked her daughter. "Inuyasha is an old friend of the family. His brother is your boss, though I'm sure you have already figured that out."

"Well, I figured he was of some relation, but how do you know mom?"

"Well, Kagome he has been coming and visiting us for awhile now, since you were seventeen. I don't know if we are the ones to tell you this but…" her mother sighed and looked Kagome over carefully, "… he is a hanyou, Kagome."

"He's a what? You have got to be joking mom."

"She's not though, Kagome. Your boss is also a youkai, an Inu youkai at that." Her grandpa said before Kagome's mom could answer.

Kagome tried to stay calm, but when your family starts believing in demons it is hard to stay as calm as she need to. "Sota, please tell me you don't believe this, too."

Sota looked a little nervous before saying, "It's the truth Kagome." Then Sota looked at his mom and said, "This is going to take awhile."

"No it won't Sota. Look Kagome, when you were fifteen…" Kagome's mom told the story of Kagome's adventure in feudal era Japan, with as much detail as she could give, considering she had not been there to witness it full hand, "… but then one day you came home wondering how you had gotten in the well. I tried to figure why you didn't remember, feudal Japan or any of your friends, until your closest friend, Inuyasha appeared and gave full detail on how he had thrown you down the well wishing for you to forget everything that had happened to you in feudal Japan."

"Mom, I'm worried that you might be sick are you sure…" Just then there was a knock and the opening of a door.

"Ms. Hirogashi, sorry I'm late!" Said a very formilar voice, just as Inuyasha walked in. there was a huge difference in this Inuyasha from the one Kagome had met… this one had dogears!

"All right that is quite enough of all this nonsense, now you…" Kagome said pointing to a now shocked Inuyasha, "… take off those stupid fake dog ears. I mean come on you could have done better and bought some that accually looked real. those are the the fakest looking dog ears I have ever seen!" then Kagome stormed over and started yanking on Inuyasha's ears, pulling as hard as she could, causing Inuyasha to howl out in pain.

"You stupid bitch, let them go!" Then suddenly there was another loud howl of pain for Kagome's mom had just smacked him hard on the the back of the head for cussing. "Sorry, Ms. Hirogashi, it just slipped, but it felt like old times, again you know." Then Inuyasha let out a small sigh then said as he turned to leave, "Well I best be going, I'll see you all later."

As he turned to leave Kagome grabed his arm and said, "Sorry I pulled them, anyway, look if you wanna swing by my apartment to get your jacket… I mean that is if you want to… you can come by any time, just call first." Then she shoved a piece of paper into Inuyasha's hand and said good night to her family and left before anyone could say anything.

"Well, that went better than I expected, but I half expected her to suddenly remember everything and sit me as hard as she could." Inuyasha said smiling at the though of being sat again by his favorite person in the whole world.

"Why in the world did I give him my number?" Kagome asked herself as she walked into her room in Hirogashi hotel. "I mean I don't even know the man, demon... THING! But I guess if mom knows him and trusts him then I should to."

Inuyasha sat on the seal of a building across the street from Hirogashi Hotel. He wore his traditional Fire rat outfit minus the jacket, for Kagome still had it. Sighing he stared into Kagome's apartment, "How do I tell you, Kagome, that I did it all for your protection? I wish I had never done it. It will have been 500 years exact tomarrow since that day I pushed you down the well."

Flashback

"Inuyasha, look I know you don't want me to, but I have to go home…"

"On the contrary Kagome, I…do want you to go home." I sighed as he aproched a shocked Kagome. 'Gods this is so terrible.'

"Inuyasha, are you felling ok?" Kagome said closing the distance between her and myself.

"I'm fine Kagome, look… damn it!" I reached over and pulled Kagome to me kissing her more passionately than I had ever kissed the clay Kikyou. After a few seconds of being stunned I felt Kagome finally respond.

Finally, I pulled away, holding the Shikon No Tama in my hand, "Kagome, I love you. I have loved you for so long. I'm sorry but I can't let you suffer anymore because of me. I promise you that I will not use this to become a full demon… nor will I become human. I will miss you and I know everyone else will miss you also… but you will not remember us, these adventures or anything that happened here, I promise." And before Kagome had a chance to protest I pushed her down the well.

The moment Kagome disappeared I swallowed the Shikon No Tama and made my wish. "I wish that Kagome will forget everything that happened here in fedal Japan, and believe that she had accually been sick, and that I live to see her once again, but this time be able to grow old with her." There was a bright flash of white light and the next thing I know I'm in the hags hut.

End Flashback

'I guess that's what I get. Well I wonder what my old pal, Shippou is up to.' Inuyasha thought taking one last longing look at the now dark bedroom window, that belonged to Kagome, before jumping of the building he sat on,

Kagome walk a route that felt extremely familiar, she felt her body move as though someone else controlled it. 'Where am i?' she thought to her self as she moved with the same grace she hadn't had since she was 16. She found herself infront of the well that is in her family shrine only much younger. Suddenly she heard a noise and felt herself werl around, "Inuyasha, look I know you don't want me to, but I have to go home…" she heard herself say.

"On the contrary Kagome, I…do want you to go home." Inuyasha sighed and approached her. 'What is he doing here? Why am I here?'

"Inuyasha, are you felling ok?" she heard herself speak again, her voice sounded was a lot younger than she remember.

"I'm fine Kagome, look… damn it!" Inuyasha reached over and pulled Kagome to him kissing her passionately. After a few seconds of being stunned Kagome finally responded.

Finally, Inuyasha pulled away, hold a jewel in his hands, 'The Shikon No Tama,' Kagome thought to herself. "Kagome," she heard Inuyasha speak and felt herself look away from the jewel in his hands, to his golden eyes, "I love you. I have loved you for so long. I'm sorry but I can't let you suffer anymore because of me. I promise you that I will not use this to become a full demon… nor will I become human. I will miss you and I know everyone else will miss you also… but you will not remember us, these adventures or anything that happened here, I promise." And before Kagome had a chance to protest Inuyasha pushed her down the well.

Kagome suddenly sat bolt up in her bed, her blankets were strewn about. The memory suddenly coming back to her of all her friends, when she suddenly reliezed that she had some one to kill… well maybe not kill just mortally injure. "INUYASHA! I'm going to KILL YOU!"
