So-no flames about kagome hating on inu-she will get over it in tme to run right back to him-even though the twists ahead will make it seem impossible -hint- ENJOY! -----Song: Sarah McLachlan "I will not forget you"
A/N: Remember how I said I love songs-well I'm going to stick one in when Kagome's remembering Inuyasha (Like she really ever forgot him!)
Chapter 5
Villagers worked on moving the remains as Kagome walked ever-closer to Inuyasha's tree, a small smile crossing her face, but it seemed forced as she greeted her friends. Shippo ran up to Kagome, grasping her neck as she held on to him tightly. "It's alright Shippo-I'm fine.."
Miroku seemed a bit uneasy about Inuyasha standing in the tree right beside him-afraid Inuyasha would reveal himself too soon, or that Kagome would notice him. "Kagome...we need to talk." Miroku watched nervously. Kagome sighed as she let Shippo go, then reached up and pulled her hair down from the braid, revealing that it was, in fact, much longer-it flowed down to her waist in beautiful strands as it slowly loosened from the braid.. "We can talk when I return...I just spent 3 days on the hunt for the jewel shards and I could use a bath." Kagome disappeared into her hut, Miroku shot a glance at Inuyasha for warning, then Kagome reappeared with a pile of clothes in her hand.
Sango spoke up-to avoid Kagome seeing Miroku's nervous fidgeting. "Kagome...you're hurt...Why don't you let me bandage that?" Kagome looked down at her ripped clothing, Sango reffered to the shoulder wound-but she covered her wound in her side so Sango wouldn't worry. "It's fine...I'll bandage it up after my bath." Kagome played it off.
Just as Kagome was getting ready to say something, a tornado blew up and Kouga jumped out-angrily staring at Kagome. "You were suppose to wait for me!" Kagome rolled her eyes. "Well, took you long enough-I thought you were quicker on your feet than that..." Kagome tinged her voice with sarcasm and annoyance. Kouga huffed in aggravation as he watched Kagome walk off and disappear into the forest.
"Stupid girl-she is going to get killed one of these days...she can't listen to any-" Kouga stopped short-sniffing the air in curiosity. "Hey wait a minute!? That smells like..." Inuyasha, seeing Kagome was completely gone, jumped from the tree to face Kouga with his usual confident smile. "Miss me wolf-boy?" Inuyasha raised an eyebrow as Kouga's eyes widened in disbelief. "BUT YOU'RE ....YOU'RE..." "No...I'm alive and still able to kick your sorry wolf-butt!"
A low growl came from both demons until Sango broke in. "Come on boys...settle down..." Inuyasha backed off-going to follow Kagome. "Where do you think you're going!?" Kouga called to him, but Inuyasha only ignored it. He followed Kagome's scent readily, leaving an arrogant wolf youkai behind.
"He's going to be killed if he's not careful...Kagome will want nothing to do with him..." Kouga was talking around a fire in the hut, along with Sango, Miroku, & Kaede-who had just found out about Inuyasha's return. "Hai, I agree- Kagome has become irrational and rather different this past year...but don't you think that once she gets use to it-then she will return to her old self?" Sango felt around for some hope in the issue. Miroku sighed. "I don't know...it all depends on Kagome and Inuyasha's feelings....if he can get through to her heart, maybe...this is assuming it still remains..." Kaede came from a deep thought to speak her mind. "Aye...Kagome has left her heart in Inuyasha...unless she can get it back-she may remain as she is; and such a state may kill such a mikol as Kagome..." "Forget it-I've seen the change he made in Kagome...look what it did to her! She will never forgive him!" Kouga shook his head regretfully.
**back to inu n kag**
Kagome undressed silently by the misty waters, careful of her fresh wounds- slipping into the hot springs gentlyand leaning against a rock. Inuyasha leaped from tree to tree, then finally came to the hot springs, where he perched on a branch by the rockwall, watching a small waterfall poured out into Kagome's bath, making small ripples across the top until it reached her form. Inuyasha traced her figure, sorrow filling his eyes as he regretted every moment he spent away from her. His ears lay back against his head at the sight of her scars, and the fresh wounds she had bleeding from her side and shoulder.Her side wound looked deep, and it was still slightly bleeding.
Kagome flinched, then bit her lip as she took a cloth to the wounds while sitting on a rock, cleansing them with hot water in an attempt to stop the bleeding.Kagome redipped the now crimson cloth in the water, then plunged her body in after it, leaning against a rock and looking over her hand which was still wrapped in Inuyasha's rosary beads. She blinked away tears a moment, then turned, folding her hands over the rock and laying her head down. She looked over the Tetsusaiga and the Kinjai, which was her own blade. They layed side by side, and a small tear escaped Kagome's eye as she touched them with her rosary wrist.
Kagome sighed, and just as quickly as the tear formed, she plunged backwards into the waters-so it was lost in the sea of heat. When she resurfaced, strands of hair stuck to her face in wet laces. She remembered Inuyasha clearly-even though she had wanted and tried to forget him since the day he left her side. Kagome made her way to the waterfall just below Inuyasha, letting the waters rush over her in an attempt to soothe the streaming memories that flowed through her mind.
------
I remember the nights I watched as you lay sleeping
Your body gripped by some far away dream
Well I was so scared and so in love then
And so lost in all of you that I had seen
But no one ever talked in the darkness
No voice ever added fuel to the fire
No light ever shone in the doorway
Deep in the hollow of earthly desires
But if in some dream there was brightness
If in some memory some sort of sign
And flesh be revived in the shadows
Blessed our bodies would lay so entwined
And I will oh I will not forget you
Nor will I ever let you go
I will oh I will not forget you
I remember when you left in the morning at daybreak
So silent you stole from my bed
To go back to the one who possesses your soul
And I back to the life that I dread.
So I ran like the wind to the water
Please don't leave me again I cried
And I threw bitter tears at the ocean
But all that came back was the tide...
And I will oh I will not forget you
Nor will I ever let you go
I will oh I will not forget you

Kagome silently left the waters as she had come.Kagome's face contorted in pain as she dressed her wounds. She then dressed herself in the clothes she had brought, strapping her swords to her side. She now wore a white flowing top, the sleeves were long and covered her hands, but it cut off around her stomach and was very low at the top. She wore a small white skirt, resembling her school skirt-just as short, but made from the same material as her top. Now Inuyasha could clearly see the almost fully completed jewel hanging on Kagome's neck. He watched as she took out yet another piece and held the large jewel, and the fragment in her closed fists, then a light glowed a moment, and she revealed that she had fused them together.
Inuyasha was suprised that Kagome had such control over her energy. He followed her back home quietly, where Miroku stood ready to tell her about his return. "Kagome...there is something you need to know..." Just as Miroku was about to speak, screams were heard from the other side of the village-turning everyone's attention to a large demon ready to attack. Inuyasha watched in horror as a blast raced toward Kagome, without thinking he tackled her to the ground and the blast flew into a tree, causing a great explosion. Kouga and his wolves managed to chase off the demon, while everyone else had forgotten about it as soon as they saw Kagome and Inuyasha.
Kagome's eyes opened slowly, then they went wide as she fully took in every inch of the hanyou's features. She was speechless while she lay on the ground, until Inuyasha got up casually and dusted off in front of her. He gave Kagome an expectant look as flipped over backwards, landing gracefully on to her feet a few yards away and readied her hand at her hilt. "Who are you!" Miroku broke in suddenly, making Kagome relax her hand. "It's alright Kagome...it really is Inuyasha..." Inuyasha expected something more than what came next.
Kagome traced his figure a moment with a cold gaze-relaxing her hand away as she turned her back to him and began to walk away without saying a word. Inuyasha reached up a hand to call her back, but decided to follow behind her instead so they cuold talk more privately. Kagome walked impatiently into the shadowed forest, where she stopped in the middle of her insistent walk to speak. "Stop following me Inuyasha...." Inuyasha jumped down behind her from the tree. "Would you just stop and talk to me!"
"And what would I say? What would you like to see? Would you prefer I cry-no, I've cried for you too much already....would you prefer I go back to my old self?!" Kagome's fists clenched so tight her knuckles turned white. "Kagome..." "NO! Inuyasha...I don't need you anymore-you decided to die and that was your choice....well I moved on and I refuse to go back now.Leave me be Inuyasha...go back to Kikyo and rest in peace..." Kagome's voice trailed off as she began to walk away again-leaving Inuyasha to his thoughts among the forest shadows. 'Go back to Kikyo? What is she talking about?'

whoa...angry Kagome O.O;;; Well-I promise she will soften up-and the Kagome we all kno will be back! Come on people! It is a KagInu fic! But there will of course be quite a few more twists before the happy ending!
