Inu 15

Kagome was walking around Kouga's house inspecting everything. She vaguely remembered certain items. Then she walked into the bedroom she'd be sharing with Kouga and everything about Kouga came flooding back. She saw flashes of things they'd done on his bed. She saw ice cream all over his face. She took a step back to support herself. She reached down and lovingly stroked her stomach. Not much longer then you'll be with my and your daddy. When Kagome pictured her and Kouga with their baby girl something seemed wrong, though she couldn't put her finger on it. 'Oh well, I'm sure I'll think of it later.' Kagome had a nagging feeling that something was wrong but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Kagome headed downstairs and decided to start planning the wedding. 'Let's see… Lilies here… I want a white wedding… so white ribbons, white roses…' Kagome continued to make the plans not knowing that someone was watching her. The sorceress had been watching waiting for Kouga to leave to go pick up Kagome's stuff, 'Now's my chance.' She appeared in front of the door. She wasn't allowed to enter without permission from one inside the house, or else she'd be breaking the ancient rules. When Kagome answered the door, she huddled behind it. "Hello?" she questioned timidly.

"Hello, my name is Kagura, may I come in? I'm here to help."

"Sure…"

"As I said my name is Kagura, and you have something inside of you, that not many people know about. My master is trying to use Kouga to control you. I can't tell you any more, or else I'll be killed. But I can tell you this: look for your true love, when you find him, you will be set free." Suddenly she was gone in a gust of wind. Leaving Kagome standing there dazed as Kouga entered carrying a few boxes.

"Hey Kags, you okay? Oh my gods it's not contractions is it?" Kouga asked suddenly very worried.

"No it's not my dear, Kouga. Don't worry, I just day dreamed." She said while smiling at him. Then she looked down at the floor and saw a feather. 'Or was I?'

'I can't believe she left me… Just like that… Oh well… What can I do? At least I'll have the memories…'

Flashback

Inuyasha and Kagome were curled up in Inuyasha's bed looking at the ceiling, playing one of Inuyasha's games that he used when he couldn't sleep. "Okay and if you look over there" he pointed "you can see a horse! Can you see it Kagome?"

Kagome squinted "No…wait, yes I can! Inuyasha I can see it!" Inuyasha smiled and leaned down and kissed his girlfriend, whom he loved dearly, though wasn't ready to admit it. He curled up with Kagome, and as both were falling sleep the same thought was on their mind 'I love you'.

End Flashback

The phone ringing brought him out of his flashback. "Hello?" He asked in a gruff voice, hoping against hope it was Kagome, instead he got:

"Yashie-baby, want to go and grab a cup of coffee?" Kikyou squealed.

Inuyasha felt that since he had nothing better to do since Kouga had already grabbed all of Kagome's stuff, decided why not?

"Sure, I'll meet you at Sakura Blossom in 10." He hung up the phone, and looked in the mirror. He looked like crap. Oh well. He ran his hands through his hair and quickly washed his face, then left for the coffee shop.

He went into the coffee shop and grabbed a booth, waiting for Kikyou. He was reminded of when he first met Kagome. He dazed off with a smile on his face. His nice daydream was cut short by Kikyou sliding into the booth in front of him where Kagome was supposed to be.

"I didn't think you'd ever agree again." Kikyou stated with a smile on her face.

"I didn't think I'd ever be this lonely…" Inuyasha muttered. Though Kikyou didn't hear it Ayame did. She decided she'd have a talk with Inuyasha. When Ayame asked for their orders Inuyasha ordered a coffee and Kikyou ordered some fancy cappuccino. Ayame asked if Inuyasha could help her reach the ingredients for Kikyou's drink after she had brought Inuyasha's. Inuyasha being the gentleman he is; Agreed. 'Perfect!' thought Kikyou, she leaned over and deposited some herbs into Inuyasha's drink.

In the back room Ayame gave Inuyasha the third degree. "What do you mean you're lonely? Where's Kagome? Who's this vile woman? Why do you look so bad?" Inuyasha couldn't help but stare at how straight forward this woman was.

"Uh… Kagome left me… and is now engaged to Kouga…" Inuyasha managed to say. Inuyasha had never seen Ayame's face match the colour of her fiery red hair.

"What. Did. You. Say?" Ayame eyes now were burning with a fire.

"That Kagome was marrying Kouga. One day she just called me and said she was moving in with him. Just like that."

"This can't be right…" Ayame was pacing back and forth "Kagome promised me she wouldn't date Kouga. Something's not right. She doesn't even want to be with Kouga. She told me she wanted to be with you…"

Inuyasha felt himself swell up with pride at this point.

"Okay, we'll get to the bottom of this. I'm Kouga's best friend so he'll invite me to the wedding. I'll bring you along. Then you can do the romantic 'If anyone has any objections to this marriage speak now or forever hold your peace' bit. I'll do my best to talk to Kouga before the wedding and find out what happened. Oh and Inuyasha be careful of that woman you were out there with… I don't know if your nose could pick it up but she reeks of herbs, they smell like ones my grandfather used to subdue prisoners we picked up."

"Thanks for the heads up Ayame, and I will definitely stay in touch. Here's my cell number. Call at any time."

"Oh and before you leave Inuyasha I need you to grab the stuff for her drink." Ayame said with a nervous smile.

Kikyou was tapping her well manicured nails against the counter waiting for Inuyasha to return so he could drink his coffee with the herbs in it so she could have complete control over her play toy again. Finally, Inuyasha emerged from the back room laughing with Ayame and making a joke about her height. Kikyou put on her fake smile and waited for Inuyasha to return to the table. When he sat down, Kikyou implored him to drink down his coffee because it would be getting cold. Inuyasha brought the coffee cup to his lips and inhaled, he always loved the smell of coffee. 'Wait, what's that smell… It's not from the coffee… I wonder…'

"Kikyou, does this coffee smell funny to you?" he said while bringing the cup to her nose.

"Uh… no Inuyasha I can't smell anything. It's probably the roast of coffee that you chose." Kikyou answered nervously.

"Well then you wouldn't mind trying it for me right?" Inuyasha asked with an innocent smile on his face.

"Of course not, but I want to wait and drink my coffee…"

"But Kiki, please, it would mean a lot to me." Inuyasha gave her his most sincere smile.

"Oh, all right Yashie." Kikyou took a large drink and shook her head. "Wow that's some strong coffee…" Kikyou's head slowly drifted towards the table.

"Kikyou?" Inuyasha asked gently. Kikyou's head snapped up, yes Yashie, what can I do for you?"

"Well you can start calling me Inuyasha-"

"Okay Inuyasha!"

"Now I want you to tell me everything you know about Naraku…"

Kagome had just finished planning everything. Kouga wanted the wedding to be before his pup was born so that she could be born into an already made family. As Kagome was planning the wedding she couldn't help but think that something was wrong. 'It's just pre-martial nervousness.' She told herself, 'Nothing to worry about.' The wedding would take place in two weeks, she had just told Sango to invite all of her friends, as she was having difficulty remembering things.

Kouga walked in the door and wrapped his arms around Kagome, giving her a hug. "Hey so was your day Kagome?"

"Well I finally finished planning everything for the wedding! Now for two weeks I can take it easy, I'll be heading out with Sango to go and pick out some shoes to go with my wedding dress. Then I'll take it easy, I mean I am getting better!"

"Alright Kagome, but remember what I said don't push yourself. Take as many breaks as you need."

"Don't worry Kouga! I'll take it easy for my sake and for our little girl's" Kagome said with a smile.

"Wow Sango, I'm so glad you talked me into just shopping around with you. I can't wait until I can wear normal clothes again. I mean I've just graduated high school, and I'm getting married."

"I know eh Kags? I mean I can't believe it. Though I will admit I'm glad you'll be having an indoor wedding. November is too cold for me." Sango said with a laugh.

"So what do you say to a last hot chocolate together before I'm a married woman?" Kagome asked with a smile.

"Alright Kagome! My treat!"

They walked into 'Sakura Blossom' smiling and laughing. Ayame wasn't working there today. Instead it was a young bubbly girl, whose name-tag said 'Rin'.

"I'll have a hot chocolate with extra marshmallows please!"

"I'll have a regular coffee, thanks. So Kagome, what made you decide that you wanted to be with Kouga?"

"I uh… ummm… I don't really know Sango; I guess I just felt like I had to be with him."

"But what about-"

"Here are your orders girls! Now if there's anything I can get you don't hesitate to ask- Oh my gosh look at that ring! Wow that's beautiful, when's the wedding!" Rin asked all at once.

"It's in two weeks." Kagome said with a blush spreading across her cheeks, she wasn't used to people gushing over her.

"Wow! That's awesome, I hope you two live happily together!" Rin then got up and left.

"Well that was strange huh Kagome?"

But Kagome was staring off, lost in thought. 'There's something about this place… Something that I should know, but don't. Oh why can't I remember!'

"Well common Kagome, let's get you back to Kouga's so he doesn't worry about you. Now I'll plan your bachelorette party so don't worry about it!"

"Alrighty Sango I leave everything in your capable hands!"

When Kagome got home she laid on her bed and as she fell asleep she saw a man with white hair, but couldn't remember anything about him.
