Chapter Two: Diminished Soul and Lost Memories

Inuyasha bound threw the forest towards the village nearby, the boy and Kagome on his back. Kagome had a tight grip on the boy so that he wouldn't fall, it was strange, she and Inuyasha are the only ones that can come and go threw the well and yet this boy came out of it.

"I wonder who he is?" she said more to herself then to Inuyasha, who replied,

"How the hell should I know?"

"Hmmm…" Kagome looked at the boy and noticed something, just at the base of his neck there was some sort of metal contraption, she raised an eye brow, then gasped, "Hold it Inuyasha!"

"What?" he snapped coming to a halt just outside the village. Kagome got down from his back and lied the boy down on the ground; she started to take the black jacket and shirt off of him, "Kagome! What are you doing?" Inuyasha snapped.

"I need to check something!" she snapped back, she only had to remove the black jacket to confirm what she suspected. "Oh dear…" she said.

Inuyashas' eyes widened in curiosity, he knelted down next to the boy and poked his right arm. It was made out of metal and wires.

"What the hell?" he muttered.

"He's got a fake arm Inuyasha…" Kagome said, she had a look of pity on her face "poor guy, I wonder what happened to him."

"Fake?" Inuyasha said.

"Yeah, when some people lose an arm or a leg, they have a choice to live out the rest of their life with missing limbs or they get fake ones." Kagome said. Inuyasha sniffed slightly, more out of doubt then sympathy, when he did this he noticed something,

"Kagome why don't you check his legs also?"

"What? Why?"

"Just do it ok..."

Kagome looked down at the boys legs; he was wearing black pants and rather large black boots with red soles. She took his boots off and saw that his left foot was fake as well, just to make sure; Kagome ran her hand up his leg. She found that all the way up to his knee his leg was fake. Kagome gulped, this boy couldn't be more then 15-years-old and he had fake limbs, what could have happened to him?

Kagome stood up and looked at Inuyasha and said,

"Inuyasha, you go and foreworn Kaede that I will be bringing a special guest and that she and everyone else shouldn't be alarmed by his appearance."

"What! Why?" Inuyasha protested.

"Because, I said so!" she snapped. Inuyasha, grumbled and bounded off towards the village, he didn't like the situation. Kagome sighed and knelt back down and lifted the boy up on her shoulder and started down the path towards the village.

Ed's POV

What was that? I could feel someone or something moving me. I tried to speak but nothing came out, I don't even think my lips moved. I could hear muffled voices, who was talking? What was happening? The darkness was still closing in, I felt completely vulnerable. Anything could happen…

Warm, something warm was touching me…I couldn't place it, what was touching me? I tried once again to speak, it was a failed attempt, I tried to move my right arm. It was strange, I couldn't even feel my right arm, let alone move it, it was almost as if it wasn't even there. This couldn't be any worse, I don't know what the hell is going on, and this damn darkness wouldn't go away. I shivered slightly as something ran up the top part of my leg, what was doing that? It made me feel uncomfortable, I tried moving that leg, but like my arm, it too had that air of nonexistence.

Someone was trying to move me again! I tried to fight it but I was powerless, I couldn't get my limbs to move. It was like my entire body was numb and unfeeling. I tried to speak again but nothing happened. Then it hit me! I had completely forgotten! I tried to open my eyes.

It was like a blinding flash, my eyes started to water uncontrollably. I turned to see what was moving me, it was a girl! A girl with long black hair, my vision was still a bit blurry with tears so I couldn't make out any features. She turned and faced me, she seemed to be saying something but I couldn't hear her. I must have had an odd expression on my face because she stopped and set me down.

In the forest

Kagome made her way towards the village, a sudden shiver went down her side, and it didn't come from her. She turned and looked at the boy, he was looking at her, it was almost as if there was no life behind his eyes but they still shone a faint gold and had a questioning look in them.

"Are you ok?" she asked, the boy didn't say anything.

"What happened to you?" she tried, still nothing.

"I'm going to set you down here so we can rest ok?"

She set the boy down on the ground and sat down next to him, he was looking off into the distance with a sad look on his face. Kagome sighed and tapped him on the shoulder.

"What's your name?"

He turned and looked at her, his expression never changed but the look in his eyes sure did. The boy had a look of pure terror on his face; he then started looking around franticly as if suddenly realizing what going on.

"Hey, are you ok? What's the matter?" Kagome put her hand on his shoulder and tried to calm him down. He reacted by lashing out and accidentally hitting her. Inuyasha and Kaede were running up the path towards them and saw this, Inuyasha put on an extra burst of speed. He tackled the boy and punched him in the face yelling

"How dare you attack Kagome! You'll pay for…" he stopped when he saw that the boy was crying, tears streamed down his face. "Wha…?"

He was moving his lips but nothing was coming out, it was truly a pitiful sight. Inuyasha backed off only to get the 'sit' command from Kagome.

"Are you ok?" she asked trying to help the boy up, he pulled his arm out of her reach pulling himself in as tight as he could.

Kaede, who had been hobbling up the path, knelt down and tried to look the boy in the eyes, but his gaze stayed on the ground.

"This boys spirit has been diminished considerably." She said, and stood up.

"What can we do?" Kagome asked.

"I can put together a special tea that will revitalize the soul, I'm not sure what else to do." Kaede said.

Kagome looked at the boy then at Inuyasha, he had an irritated look on his face, the look the boy had given him gave him the creeps. Inuyasha had never seen such a depressed and completely hopeless person like him.

The Village/ Kaedes' Hut

They had managed to get the boy to Kaedes' hut, Inuyasha had knocked him out pretty much, Kaede had started to brew the tea. Kagome was sitting next to the boy trying to figure out just what to do next. Inuyasha on the other hand was standing outside, he wanted nothing to do with him.

"Kagome, I must go and get some more herbs, would you mind keeping an eye on the kettle while I'm gone?" Kaede asked.

"Of course!" she smiled, Kagome got up and walked over to the kettle as Kaede walked out of the hut. Sitting down again Kagome sighed; she watched the kettle and occasionally turned to check on the boy. He showed no sign of change, just really depressed looking. Inuyasha walked in a minute later and asked,

"So, how's he doin'?"

"Hasn't changed," Kagome said, she looked up at him "You seem uneasy, what's the matter Inuyasha?"

"I can't get that look he gave me out of my head…it was just so…arg! Pathetic!" Inuyasha sat down next to Kagome and continued, "Did he hurt you when he attacked you?"

"No, not really. As you know I've had worse, besides, he was just scared. I would be too if I were him." Kagome said.

"Hmph!"

Ed's POV

Things…just suddenly became clear to me, it was like a bucket of cold water was splashed all over me. I was sitting on a dirt path, and the girl I had seen earlier was right next to me. I looked straight ahead of me, not wanting to believe what was happening, I tried to remember what had happened. Nothing….I couldn't remember anything…who I am, how I got here, anything!

That's when I felt someone tap me on the shoulder, turning I saw the girl smiling at me but her eyes said other wise; she had a worried look about her. She asked me what my name was…I couldn't remember…earlier she had asked me other questions but I couldn't remember what they were. She reached out and put her hand on my shoulder, the sudden contact startled me and lashed out…I didn't mean to hurt her but it was the only thing that I could do. I was scared, this place…I had never seen this place before…I couldn't…I didn't understand what was or had happened.

The next thing I know something hit me, tears started to well up in my eyes…that really hurt…I turned my head to see what had attacked me and saw a boy, his appearance…it wasn't normal! He had long white hair and dog-ears; he had his fist raised above my head about to hit me again. He was shouting at me, saying

How dare I attack Kagome…who was Kagome? What it the girl I hit? That didn't matter really…he backed off a second later…

Everything seemed to disappear into a faint haze, I wanted to block out everything, it was all just too overwhelming. I think I may have blacked out after that, because the next thing I know I'm lying in a hut and the girl from before was sitting next to a kettle over a fire. The boy who had attacked me was sitting with her.
