Inuyasha had been pondering what Kagome had said about him choosing how to be happy, when a whirlwind appeared in front of him.

"Yo mutt-face, where's my woman?" Kouga asked peering around.

"What woman are you talking of wolf boy?" Inuyasha replied his hair bristling at the mere mention of Kouga claiming someone close to him.

"Kagome…where is she? I heard from a traveler that she's alive now, is it true?"

"When the hell was she ever dead?" Kouga looked at him strangely, confusion written all over his face.

"You don't remember? She like died a w-" Kouga was cut off before he could say another word, as he saw Kagome race from the hut. She ran onto the gravel road, landing herself between the two men. She in took a breath, thanking Kami that she had gotten to them before Kouga had shot his big mouth off.

"Kouga why are you here?" she asked in a crackling voice. Her eyes narrowed at the wolf demon.

"Ka…Kagome, I came to make sure you were okay," he said shrinking from her death-like glare.

"Fine. You came, you saw, now leave!" she yelled making a few rocks rumble on the ground.

"B…but, I jus-" Before he could finish his sentence he was dragged into the woods by his collar. Kagome released his collar as she went to sit down on a nearby rock.

"Kouga, I'm sorry. But you can not tell Inuyasha of the past," she said as she looked up into the night's sky of twinkling lights.

"It's alright Kagome, but what do you mean I can't tell him of the past? When I told him you had died, he didn't even seem to remember it."

"He doesn't remember anything about me. He didn't even know of my existence until a few days ago."

"How…how can he not remember you? It's completely out of the realm of possibility that he could have forgotten you."

"Kouga, you need to leave. You can't stay here, it might cause too much trouble between you two."

"I'm not leaving with out you Kagome, now that Naraku is dead, we can finally be together." He said grabbing her arm, she started to struggle but gave up when she heard a growling sound behind her. She turned her head in time to see a flash of red jump from the trees.

"Let her go now," Inuyasha said his voice pulsing with rage. He took a step towards Kouga, his eyes flashed red in the light of the moon. Kouga threw her arm down, and stood in a battle stance.

"You want to fight? Bring it on!" Kouga yelled as he charged the hanyou in front of him. Kagome looked on, watching helplessly as the fight unfolded. She came to her senses in time to see Kouga about to punch Inuyasha in the face. She did the only thing that came to mind, she subjugated him into the ground.

"SIT!" she screamed causing his face to meet the sweet impact of earth. She ran to him, checking to make sure Kouga hadn't hurt him. Once she was done with her look over, she turned around.

"Kouga, you need to leave now. I will not save you, he will kill you if you stay." She said her voice full of rage as she looked at the demon who almost hurt her hanyou. Inuyasha lifted his head from the ground, and looked up at the girl. A memory then came to him.

--Flashback--

Purple beads appeared around his neck, he stopped on the ground, and tried to yank them off. Kaede looked to the black haired girl and yelled to her.

"Quickly Kagome, say a word of subjugation!" The girl picked up the Shikon no Tama.

"What word?" she asked Kaede.

"It does not matter what word, only your words have power to hold his spirit." Kagome began to run, only to fall a cliff off seconds later. The jewel fell from her grasp and rolled onto a nearby bridge. He appeared from the trees.

"How can you over power me, when you can't even sit up?" he asked jumping onto the bridge.

"A word to hold his spirit, but how will I know which one?" she asked, then spotting his dog ears an idea came to the girl. He about to pick up the Shikon no Tama with his claw hands, when she called out.

"Sit Boy." The beads around his neck became purple as his face met the wooden planks of the bridge.

--End Flashback--

His eyes glazed over as the memory faded away. He looked at the girl who stood in front of him, defending him. Even though, seconds ago he had been in a fight, almost about to kill her supposed "mate".

'If what Kouga said was true, then why would she be defending me instead of him? Did he lie, is she truly not his woman?' anger spread through his chest as he remember Kouga calling her his woman. He stood up putting his hand on the hilt of Tetsusaiga, intending to protect Kagome from Kouga. Even if the sword would not transform, he could always bluff. Inuyasha saw Kouga once again touching Kagome's arm, and forgot all his bluffing plans and drew Tetsusaiga. The blade glowed as it transformed into the famous fang, drawing the attention of the two a few feet away.

"It transformed, I heard that you could no longer wield it!" Kouga yelled the fright in him growing. Noticing Inuyasha was too busy staring at his sword, Kouga quickly turned and ran, becoming a swirling whirlwind. Kagome watched as he disappeared over the horizon, and turned around to Inuyasha who was staring at her bewilderment displayed on his face. He pushed Tetsusaiga into its hilt, and started to speak.

"You lied, you said that we had just recently met," he said anger in his eyes.

"We have," she replied avoiding eye contact.

"I had a flash-back after you yelled Sit; it was of you saying it before, when the Jewel was whole. You lied," he said again jumping into a tree nearby, letting his thoughts of today's events consume him. Kagome stood there a long while after he had gone into the tree, wondering what he remembered, and if it was good or bad. She looked up at the tree, hoping the hanyou would come back down. With no such luck, she journeyed back to the hut, the sun's rays peaking over the hills.
