DISCLAIMER – I don't own Inuyasha, or anything that has to do with it.
A/N – Hello, Endless here! Sorry for not updating all weekend, it's just that I was mega-busy with school-work, and the whole 4-reviews thing sort of got me down. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter, and pretty please review!
-------
Sesshoumaru turned to look at this Inuyasha.
"Oh really? Watch me," he said, turning back to walk gracefully towards the river that he was to meet the miko.
-------
Kagome shivered, wishing that Sesshoumaru would hurry up. She'd told him that they'd meet at the river! Maybe he'd forgotten!
Like everything else...
It wasn't going to be easy, trying to help him remember everything. Plus, she didn't know everything about him. She only hoped that some things would come back on their own.
Maybe she would start out telling him that he was a powerful inuyoukai, and she'd tell him about his swords, and his abilities, and stuff. That wouldn't be too hard.
But what about his Tenseiga? Should she tell him that he despised the sword? That he was after the Tessaiga, and would do anything to get it? That he made Kaijimbou forge the Tokijin to finally destroy Inuyasha?
She supposed that she'd just decide when she came to it. First and foremost, they had to find Rin and Jaken. No doubt that Rin would be heartbroken by the fact that he did not remember who she was. And now that she thought about it, so would Jaken.
She was guessing that Jaken would also try to take advantage of the situation, turning Sesshoumaru into a perfect copy of himself.
I've got to try as hard as I can to help Sesshoumaru be the same as he was before. Even if that means that he'll hate me...If he doesn't already...
-------
Dammit, where is that woman!
Sesshoumaru was trying to find the scent of the woman, but after some trying, he realized that the wind must've made it even fainter than before.
He sighed, trying to calm himself. He concentrated on the woman's scent, which smelled irrevocably like flowers.
Flowers? What does that remind me of? They somehow bring up something familiar...
He was brought out of his concentration by a female voice shouting his name.
"Sesshoumaru! Over here! And hurry up, I'm freezing!"
He scoffed at himself as he began to walk toward the woman, wondering why he wasn't able to pick up on her scent.
He reached where she was standing by the river, and she smiled gleefully at him.
Why is she always smiling? Do I always smile? Or did I? I hope not...
"Come Sesshoumaru, I want to get a start on finding your companions, Jaken and Rin," she said, starting to walk off in no particular direction.
He stood there, waiting for her to notice that she had no idea what direction she should be looking in.
After about a minute or so, she turned around to look at him sheepishly, and said, "Okay. First, I need you to tell me the last place you can remember being. If you don't know the name of that specific place, then describe it."
Sesshoumaru smirked at her, because she had no idea that he knew exactly where his so-called companions were. Now that he'd lost his memory, he'd been able to remember new things now like they were Holy Scripture to a monk.
Kagome frowned, not liking the fact that he was smirking.
"And what exactly are you smirking about, Sesshoumaru?"
He sighed in mock exasperation, and looked down at her.
"I know precisely where my 'companions' are. However, it is not my intention to find them immediately. If you would kindly escort me to my living quarters, then it would be appreciated."
Kagome scrunched up her face, trying to figure out what he was thinking.
"Okay, I'll take you to your castle. But while we're walking, let me fill you in on some basic information about yourself..."
And with that, they began their trek towards the Western Lands.
-------
"You mean to say that I have no other living relative other than my hanyou brother?" Sesshoumaru yelled, his anger seeping in.
This is impossible! There goes my luck, trust it to lose my memory, and all my decent relatives!
Kagome shrunk away from him, hoping he wouldn't take out his anger on her.
"But there is one thing that might make you happy!"
He looked at her skeptically.
"You see, your father was the Lord of the Western Lands, with your mother, I'm presuming. Well, from what I know, something happened between Lord Inutaisho and your mother! I don't know if she died, or what happened but whatever happened led your father to take a human woman, Izayoi, as a mate!"
Sesshoumaru scowled, growling at her.
Why would a great Lord like my father bed a human? That's despicable! What is there to be found in a human that cannot be found in a woman of someone like my mother's taste?
"Well anyways, someone else was in love with Izayoi, but she wouldn't take him! So, one night, your father was off doing something, away from the Western Lands. The man who loved Izayoi, fully taking advantage of the situation, tried to burn your father's place down, while he wasn't there!
But what the man didn't know, was that Izayoi was pregnant with Inuyasha, and in labor that night. If you ask me, I have no idea why your father wouldn't have been there that night,"
I can. Who wants to be with any woman, for that matter, when they are with child?
"So, the house was on fire, right? And your father, knowing there was something wrong, began towards the house. Izayoi had just had her baby, and she was holding him in her arms when the man came into the room she was in. He stabbed her with his sword, and left her to die.
"Just ten, your father came rushing in, ready to save Izayoi. He took out Tenseiga, which is that sword right over there," she said, pointing to one of his swords, "and revived her. Just before he went off to go fight the man, he told Izayoi, 'Inuyasha. Name him Inuyasha. Now go!' She fled, without looking back. It was there, when your father fought that man, until the walls of his castle came burning down, killing them both."
Sesshoumaru looked down, unable to believe his ears.
His father, the Lord of the Western Lands, died, because of a mere human? How pathetic.
"Izayoi died a few years later, leaving Inuyasha mother-less as well. Not that I think you care, just thought you should know," Kagome said, glad to be able to help him remember everything.
"Do I...hate Inuyasha?" Sesshoumaru asked.
Kagome sighed.
"Yes," she barely whispered.
"I see," Sesshoumaru replied, his mind taking him even deeper within his thoughts, so he could contemplate.

A/N – Well there's Chapter 5! I hope you all liked it, it was well over 1,000 words long! I only made it this long, because of my wonderful friend, venusserenade! Yay! Go twins! Well anyways, I'm going to put up a few review responses, because I'm bored...
1kenshinlover- Thank you for being my first reviewer! Yeah, I liked how the whole 'distraction' scene worked out too!
iloveinuyasha44- What are you lost on? Or maybe you're just saying that to get me to review...? Well anyways, Kagome needed to get her stuff, so she got Sesshy to distract her camp, so they wouldn't notice her being there! Kikyou, however, did notice Kagome, and even talked to her. She might even bring it up to the gang... :Cough:
venusserenade- Yay! Thank you sooo much for reviewing, because you know I love you with the white-hot intensity of 80 billion suns! Yeah, you're right, I'm making Inuyasha a tad too OOC, I need to fix that. Don't worry, I will. After I finish my Bio project.
Blue Rhapsody3, Shadow Kitsune67, RoZiLuVzSeSsHo, Neko-Yuff16, XxcutiekatxX, and Capuleto– Thanks again for reviewing! I'm sorry you all didn't get your own little response area, but I try to keep the review response area as small as possible. Gratias vobis ago!
And one last tidbit of information you all might need: Sesshoumaru is going to be a little bit OOC, at least at first, because, well duh, he lost his memories. And though he still retains some of his ice-ness, he still has a lot to remember about himself. (start sarcasm) Hmm, I wonder how that affect the story?(end sarcasm)
Well thank you again, sooooooo much, wish me well on the mile run tomorrow, and remember to review! Oh yeah, tell me if there's anything wrong with the whole Izayoi-Inutaisho thing. I couldn't get the first part of the third movie, so I couldn't check to make sure. Also, I will be naming chapters now. REVIEW!– Endless
