Inuyasha walked into the woods, sitting against a tree.
His heart was heavy.
Again and again, he punched the same spot in the ground out of anger.
This has to be a dream...It has to be. How can she not remember me?
He stood and walked back towards Kaede's, but stopped at the Bone Eaters Well.
"Hi."
He spun aroun to see Kagome, still bandaged, looking shyly at the ground.
"You shouldn't be up."
Kagome started to say something, but stopped.
"I..wish I could remember you."
Inuyasha huffed and turned away.
Silence.
"..Do you really not remember anything about me?"
Kagome nodded."Well, I remember your name, and that word-what was it?-oh, yeah-"
He cupped his hand over her mouth.
"Don't. Say. It."
Kagome's eyes widened is surprise, but she nodded, and Inuyasha removed his hand.
"..There's one other thing.."
Inuyasha stared at her curiously.
"Well..I mean..when I try to remember I get this name...Kikyo. And.. I know she was the protector of the Shikon Jewel and Kaede's sister, but I don't know how she could be related with you."
Inuyasha didn't respond.
Kagome gazed at him.
"..Well?.."
"..It's..nevermind."
Their eyes met, their gaze being held between them.
Suddenly, Kagome grunted in pain as her knees buckled and one hand flew to her head.
Inuyasha ran to catch her.
Kagome grunted. Her body shook with pain.
About ten minutes later, she stopped, her body hanging limply.
"I..I remember..."
Inuyasha's heart skipped a beat.
"You..wanted to use the Shikon jewel to become human..b-but now, you want to become a full-demon..."
Kagome caught her breath and slowly stood up.
Inuyasha still didn't take his hands of her shoulders.
She rubbed her head.
"Inuyasha?"
"Yeah?"
"Was there..I mean..was there anything.."
"What?"
Kagome blushed. "No, forget it. Don't worry."
She stepped back."Well..I should get back."
And she ran off.
Inuyasha slumped back against the well. Kagome had remembered something about him, but it caused her pain.
"I should just get out of her life forever..."
Kagome sat back down in Kaede's hut. Sango and Shippo slept, but Miroku still showed no sign of recovery.
"Um...Kaede?"
"Yes, child?"
"Why..why can't I remember Inuyasha, but I can remember everyone else?"
Kaede sighed.
"I don't know, child. I can only guess that it had something to do with the battle."
Kagome was quiet.
"Yeah..I guess so."
Kaede nodded.
"Get some sleep, child."
Hours later, Sango's eyes snapped open.
Instantly, she looked towards Miroku. Her heart sank.
His breathing was uneven, his skin a pale color.
Sango looked around. Everyone was asleep, even Inuyasha, who had returned from..where ever he went.
She sighed and walked out.
It was chilly outside. Sango hugged her arms for warmth.
"Miroku, if you're not okay.."
Sango gulped down tears.
She had to face reality.
Miroku might die.
Haa. I'm not gonna say anything about that last part, cuz i dont wanna give it away :P.
I'm dreadfully tired.
remember, your reviews give libby energy!
hmm. ya know i was originally going to make kagome lose ALL of her memories from the feudal era, but i decided that it was just too evil ;)
