Inuyasha was just getting settled in the new contraption when the police officer turned on the ignition, that was when the half demon jumped out of his skin. He hadn't expected the beast to make a noise, and was even more surprised when it began to roll forward.
To keep the half demon from making a scene, Kagome had to quietly and quickly calm him down, telling him that the contraption wasn't a beast, it was a car.
'Why is he so scared, it's just a car. He's acting as if he's never been in a car before,' she thought to herself.
Once she had him reassured that it wasn't going to kill them, even though she could tell he wasn't completely reassured, she glanced out the window to see if anything could jog her memory.
'Why did I recognize my house, but I don't recognize or remember anything else?' she thought to herself, staring unseeingly out the window.
A voice broke through her thoughts, "Kagome? Are you okay?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine. I'm just thinking…" she trailed off.
"About?" he pushed her to open up to him.
"I feel like I should be doing something right now, but I don't know what. I wish I could remember something," she said, partially to herself and partially to Inuyasha, unknowingly referring to hunting for the sacred jewel shards.
"You will, don't worry, we're all here for you," the half demon sitting next to her said, making her feel supported and loved.
"Inuyasha, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure"
"That Hojo guy, was he really my boyfriend?"
"I don't know, Kagome, I don't know"
"What do you mean you don't know, I thought you said our parents are friends, that we are friends! How can you not know if we had been going out!" she almost yelled, frustrated. Frustrated because she couldn't remember anything; frustrated because she was questioning herself on whether on not she had chosen the right person to trust; frustrated because she didn't really know what was going on.
Inuyasha didn't know what to say, if they had been alone he would have explained about the feudal era and how they could travel between times. Instead of saying something stupid, like 'You never told me,' or 'We didn't talk much about that kind of stuff,' he stayed silent.
During the long drive to the police station, Kagome found herself wondering how she went from the Feudal era of Japan to modern day Japan by jumping in an old well. She wanted to ask this question, along with many others, but decided that it would be best if she asked the half demon privately.
About ten minutes later, a voice came from the front of the vehicle, "We're here."
Kagome and Inuyasha watched as they pulled up to the police station, in front of them stood a gigantic, two-story, brick building, surrounded by police cars and officers. Once the officer, Brass, pulled into a parking space directly in front of the main entrance, he climbed out of the car and opened the door on Kagome's side to allow them to climb out.
Once they had climbed out of the car, Captain Brass led them into the huge building, they climbed up a flight of marble stairs, and entered the main entrance area, filled with both police officers and civilians. Kagome noticed the Captain nod his head at a few people as they walked by; he took them to an elevator, stepped inside and when the door closed Brass pressed the number 2 for the second floor.
By now, Inuyasha had grown accustomed to coming across the modern day contraptions, even if he didn't know what they did or if they were going to kill him.
When the elevator reached the second floor, which was only about two minutes, the bell rang and the door opened to allow them out; Captain Brass went first, he led them to a room, which had a sign on it that read 'interrogation room'.
The half demon didn't know what that meant, but he guessed that it wasn't a good thing to be going into this room. Once in the room, Inuyasha started to worry because it was a small room, which smelled like the stuff Kagome's mom used to clean things with, as if they were trying to cover up a smell, even Inuyasha's powerful nose couldn't smell anything except the disinfectants. There was a single officer in the tiny room, which closed the door immediately after they entered, to Inuyasha it seemed like they were trying to trap Kagome and him in the little room. The half demon noticed that both officers were, what he thought, incredibly calm, as if they were about to do something they shouldn't.
Captain Brass pulled out a seat and motioned for them to sit on the opposite site of the table.
Inuyasha and Kagome both obeyed, but the half demon had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach, as they did so.
After they were seated, Brass started the questions, "So you say you live in that house, correct?"
"Yes"
"But you don't remember anything else, why would you remember that but nothing else?"
"I-I don't know"
"You say that a man chased and inflicted wounds on you, what did this man look like?"
"Umm, he had short black hair, brown eyes, he was about 5'10", and he had a very muscular build."
"He was Japanese?"
"Yes"
"And what did you say your names were?"
"I'm Kagome, and this is Inuyasha"
"How do you remember him?"
"I don't, he found me and helped me, and I felt I should trust him, so I did, there was nothing else I could really do."
"Inuyasha, and why are you wearing dog ears?"
"Uhh, because I can," the half demon answered lamely.
"Okay, Kagome this officer will take you to the forensic artist. Inuyasha, I'd like to ask you a few more questions."
"But…" Inuyasha started to protest, but Kagome stopped him telling him it was okay and she would meet up with him soon.
Kagome glanced up at the officer that was about to escort her to the other room, and noticed that he was very young, she guessed he wasn't older than 25.
The officer led Kagome out of the small room, down a long hall, and into another room; this one was slightly larger than the last, but it was cluttered. The walls were covered with sketches of faces, she suspected they were still searching for, in the middle of the room there was a large desk, piled with stacks of papers and books, and on the side walls there were four large metal filing cabinets. Behind the desk there was a person, whom Kagome couldn't see the face, but could tell it was a female by her build. This person was typing rapidly at the computer, so wrapped in what she was doing, she hadn't even glanced up when they entered.
The young officer cleared his throat to get the woman's attention, at this she looked up, glancing from the officer to Kagome and back to the officer.
Kagome noticed that she was a short, plump woman, with long black hair that was simply tied back in a ponytail.
"Yes?" she asked.
"About the attack at the Higurashi shrine, this girl says that she was there and saw the attacker. Captain Brass wanted a picture of him, immediately."
"Okay" the plump woman said. "Hello, I'm Sara Sidle, I'm the forensic artist. All you have to do is describe the man to be and I'll draw it, okay," she told Kagome in a warm, welcoming voice.
Kagome nodded, "I'm Kagome."
Sara motioned for Kagome to sit across from her in a cushy, blue chair, and opened the top drawer of the desk and pulled out a large sketchpad and a sharpened pencil.
"Okay, now start explaining to me what this man looked like. Start with his eyes," Sara told Kagome.
After about fifteen minutes, Inuyasha walked into the room with Brass, obviously the questioning was finished. The half demon sat in the corner chair while Kagome explained the man, in much detail, to the artist, who was drawing rapidly and making changes as she was told.
After another twenty minutes, the artist finally had the picture right; she showed the captain and Inuyasha to see their reactions. Neither, Inuyasha nor Captain Brass had ever seen the man in the picture before. After a few more questions and suggestions Kagome and Inuyasha were finally allowed to leave the police station and go home.
Once out side, they realized that it was dusk, which meant they had been in the station for at least 2 hours; Kagome questioned how they would be able to return home without a vehicle of any kind or way of transportation.
"How are we going to get home? We don't have a car and it's too far to walk," she told Inuyasha.
Instead of answering immediately, they continued to walk for about a block, then the half demon crouched down and said, "Climb on."
When she did so he stood up and effortlessly leaped to the roof of the nearest building, then began to jump from building to building.
'Wow, I love this feeling. I feel so relaxed and safe, and I don't even remember him, we must have had a really close relationship,' Kagome thought, as she, once again, drifted off to sleep on the hanyou's back, as he jumped from building to building.
Once again, Kagome was awakened by the half demon landing gently just outside the well house door. Inuyasha carefully placed here on the ground and walked into the well house. After Kagome followed and was inside, Inuyasha closed the door; he turned around, wrapped his arm securely around the girl's small waist and looked down at her.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
When she nodded, they stepped up to the lip of the well and jumped in. Once again, they were surrounded by the soft, glowing blue light; they floated to the bottom of the well. Once the blue light had been replaced with the pink and orange tinged light that illuminated the sky as night set in Inuyasha picked Kagome up bridal style and leaped out of the old well.
