Summary: What if Kagome could go back in time? Stop Kikyo from being reborn, stop everything from happening? Would she unbind Inuyasha from the tree and trust him with her life? Especially when she can only have her wish granted because she died at his hands?
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha
"Hey… Hey you…" Kagome heard Inuyasha's voice.
"Inuyasha?" she asked faintly. Movement… there was movement. She was in his arms bridal style as she was walking along next to Kaede.
"Yes Inuyasha?" Kaede said, Kagome pretended to be unconscious… maybe Kaede was aware of the time reversal.
"She's not Kikyo." Inuyasha simply stated. Kaede nodded.
"Aye. She is not my sister Kikyo. But I believe she be the reincarnation of Kikyo." Kagome held her breath, would Inuyasha remember… he noiteced immediately she was not Kikyo…
"Feh… yeah… sure…" Inuyasha said.
Kagome felt herself drifting off slightly in Inuyasha's warm arms and she was carried to the village.
The hole in her side hurt tremendously, she would probably have a scar. Yet, she was happy. He knew I was not Kikyo…
Carefully, with a small smile, she remembered all the signs that showed he had hope of remembering.
"K-K-Kagome…" the name called out to Inuyasha. He remembered her name…
"Look whoever you are…" He said… He had known not to call her Kikyo…
"I don't know why… but seeing you hurt… it pisses me off, so try… try taking out the arrow." Defiantly something Inuyasha would say.
There, three reasons that brought joy to her soul. Now all she had to do was make sure that they were not out on a jewel hunt when the demon was going to steal Kikyo's ashes and all would be set.
But what about Miroku and Sango… will I meet them again now?
Kagome wondered about her future friends… if she changed too much right now, she might destroy her chances of meeting up with them again.
She felt herself drift off in Inuyasha's arms, just as she began to hear the village noises; signaling that they had arrived.

Inuyasha carried the strange girl in her arms to get her wounded body back to the village.
"She's not Kikyo" Inuyasha rather bluntly stated. He waiting for Kaede to explain more, he noticed the girl twitch slightly in his arms. He could not explain why, but he had wanted to hold her in his arms and protect her.
But what about Kikyo… she had died hadn't she? Kaede had told him she thought this girl, Kagome, was the reincarnation of her. But it didn't matter about Kikyo, did it? She had betrayed him, tried to kill him after lulling him into a false sense of security.
Yet he felt he knew this girl, like he loved her. But she was still so much like Kikyo; Inuyasha felt these weird feelings for her rage inside him although he only knew her, Kagome, a short time.
Kagome was obviously awake, and quiet comfortable. Inuyasha wondered why she didn't say anything, but she seemed very lost in thought.
Hearing the sounds of the village, he hurried up slightly, but managed to keep pace with Kaede.
Somehow this seemed like he had done this before… he walked slower, allowing Kaede to lead the way to her hut, so he could finally put the sleeping teen down.
He sat next to her the whole night, not sleeping, not letting his guard down. He even growled when a villager come in to see if she was OK. He could not help this protective feeling he had for her, maybe it was because she was so like Kikyo…
No, it had to be something more.
Finally, the dog demon surrendered and went off to sleep, making sure he did not go into a deep sleep in case the sleeping girl woke up.

Kagome woke up and dimly remembered where she was…
K-K-K-Kaede's hut… and…and Inu- Inuyasha… he's here… does he remember?
Her thoughts were dizzying and confusing, what was she supposed to make him remember? What was she supposed to remember?
Something… something about Inuyasha…
She wondered what that could be, maybe the medicines Kaede had given her during her few waking moments had cleared her memory.
Inuaysaha…umm… something about a demon, a betrayal… no wait… a forced betrayal!
She smiled to herself as she remembered something that she had forgotten.
"What the hell are you smiling about? You've slept for two whole freaking days Kagome!" Inuyasha was wide awake beside her, but he stumbled on her name, as though unsure that is what he was to call her.
"You… you know my name…" she said slowly, desperately trying to remember why his saying her name was so important…
"Come on Kagome" and rough voice sounded. Kagome looked up from the skull she had just broke with her arrow.
"You… you said my name" she stuttered out in surprise.
She remembered this! But how did it happen? She had only just met Inuyasha, right?
No… then it clicked
I traveled back in time to save Inuyasha!
Somehow that fit, now she felt floods of memories hit her, but a lot seemed painful. There was a particular one of the time she had witnessed Kikyo kissing Inuyasha.
"Damn you, what the hell is wrong now!" Inuyasha's tone was annoyed, but Kagome, who had known Inuyasha for a year, whether he remembered or not, knew that meant he was concerned.
"Inuyasha… you don't remember…" she said. At his questioning look, she explained just how she ended up in this time of the Feudal Era, and Inuyasha sat there, listening attentively as she explained everything.
Kagome even threw in what she knew of Inuyasha's secret past to prove this had happened.
When she finished, Inuyasha looked at her with a doubtful look. "You have got to be kidding. When you're all better I'm stealing the damn jewel. I would have before…" but Inuyasha did not seem to be able to tell why he had not.
This only made him think more on everything the reincarnated teen had just said… he felt like he knew her, because he did.
This felt like it had happened before, because it had happened before. Inuyasha just needed to believe her, and maybe he could remember what she did.
"I… Inuyasha?" she asked as the hanyou buried his face in his hands out of frustration
When she received no answer, Kagome got up a bit more from the small bed of sheets she was in, inching slightly towards her friend.
She put her arms around his shoulders and leaned into his chest, wishing whatever was traumatizing him to stop.
As if the wish was granted, Inuyasha looked up at Kagome with wide amber eyes. "Kagome… Kagome I remember!" he said in surprise.
The look of delight on Kagome's face was so amazing Inuyasha did the first thing he had wanted to do, he gave her a hug.
what, did you pervs think i would have them kiss...yet mwhahaha. it is so sweet, so Inuyasha now remembers everything, and they have to plan carefully to avoid the spider demon. Which should be decently easy, since all Inuyasha has to do is make sure the jewel is not stolen... or will it be hard?
please review,
