(Did u think that was the last chapter? Fooled you!)
He remembered it. Clear as day. The visions of the kil still haunting his mind in a never-ending nightmare. That was how it was meant to happen. So naturally, he was confused when Miss Higurashi appeared at his door screaming in fear about Kagome. Kagome? She should be dead, he had the jewel to prove it. As he thought about this, he pulled the shining gem from his pocket. Lately his nightmares had plagued him more often, as he had once again seen Kagome. He followed Miss Higurashi as she ran frantically to the hospital.
He never expected to see this. Kagome was a bloddy mess, beaten and injured horribly, barely breathing with a low pulse. But she was breathing she had a pulse. She was alive. He was happy, but he didn't let it show. He was shocked, but he kept it well hidden. She was dead when he left her. He had checked her pulse when he took the jewel. He had made sure to end her suffering. He had seperated her head from her body. He could see something strange though. Her neck had a scar. Straight around. He was now determined to find out what it meant. Why she was still alive. How? He was scared to see her alive. Afraid of the hate that would probably consume her. He didn't want that. He had planned on ressurecting her, so she would be happy, without him.
"KAGOME'S AWAKE!" the yell awoke him from his light slumber, and indeed the young woman had awoken. She stared blankly around. "Where...am...I?" she asked. "Oh, Kagome you're awake!" her mother sobbed. "Is...is that who I am?" Kagome asked, holding her head. "I...don't remember..." she said, tears forming in her eyes. Bankotsu's eyes widened. "You...don't?" he asked, hesitantly. He was still wondering over the scar across her neck, where instead there should be a wound. Now that he looked, she had none of the wounds that he had given her with the Banryuu, but different ones. Bankotsu was thoroughly confused. "Bankotsu?" Kagome asked meekly, and he stopped. "How...do I know your name?" she asked. "That's what I wanted to ask..." he responded. She held her head in her hands. "Why can't I remember?" she whispered.
