last time

Kagome's eyes flashed with anger and her hand swung, coldly, and brutally against his cheek. A loud sound of flesh against flesh resounded off the walls. Kagome glared furiously at him as he slowly brought a pale, slender hand to his reddened cheek. A slight look of disbelief was quickly covered up as he set his eyes on Kagome.

… … … … … … … … … …

"How's it been at Sesshomaru's?" Souta asked. That question fell under the category his mom had made, 'how was Kagome doing?' Kagome made a face that Souta couldn't quite get.

"Peachy." Kagome said with a frown. "The man is unbearable! Are you sure I didn't have some sort of brain damage before?" Souta laughed and shook his head.

… … … … … … … … … …

"It's not as big of a deal as you think, but…I got a job!"

Now

"It's not as big of a deal as you think, but…I got a job!" the look of proud-ness she held on her face made Taishio smile, InuYasha cock a lopsided grin, Rin gasped happily, and Sesshomaru glare angrily.

"That's wonderful. What may I ask as?" Taishio asked. At least now he knew where she kept going and he was glad to know it wasn't out with Koga. Even if he was doing what Ms. Higurashi said, he still didn't like it.

"Is that where you've been going for the past week?" InuYasha asked. Of course Kagome would get a job. It was just like her. Though, as he glanced over in Sesshomaru's direction, it didn't seem that everyone was happy.

"I'm working as a waitress. I make great tips too!" Kagome beamed proudly.

"Can Rin come and see Kagome at work?" Rin asked. Kagome thought a moment before she shook her head. Rin's smile drooped a bit.

"One day you will." Rin jumped up with excitement, thanked Kagome, and excused herself from the table.

"Quit your job." Kagome's eyes, as well as everyone else's, flew in Sesshomaru's direction.

"What?"

"You heard me. Quit your job. You are in no need of one." Sesshomaru stated indifferently. Kagome snorted.

"Yeah, because being here is so much fun."

"Glad to know you agree. Quit your job."

"Or what?"

"I'll do it for you."

Kagome jumped from her seat, and glowered at him. "You've no right to do that!" Kagome shouted. "This is my way of having fun. Besides you don't know where I work. And I'm not telling you." Kagome sent him one final glare before she stomped out of the room.

"Well," InuYasha said before he took a drink of his orange juice. "That went well." He smirked at Sesshomaru and excused himself.

"Come now, Sesshomaru, what's wrong with Kagome having a job?" Taishio asked.

"She shouldn't need to have a job. We have all the money she needs here." Sesshomaru stated seriously.

"Yes, but she's been babied since her accident and I'm quite sure she's looking for some independence." Taishio pointed out and Sesshomaru's eyes widened a margin before turning back to their cold slits.

"I don't want her to depend on anyone but me father, end of conversation. She will quit, I'll make sure of It." with that he got up and left.

"'She will quit, I'll make sure of it.' BAH! Screw him." Kagome grumbled as she walked down the hall. She had 'overheard' Sesshomaru talking to InuTaishio and she couldn't have given a better reason for her to hate him, more. Grumbling as she walked Kagome glared daggers at every picture she passed on the wall.

She'd show him, she'd show him for sure. She had sure fire way to get back at him. And really, she wasn't doing anything wrong. She was merely having fun with a friend. And it would just be coincidence that she was going to be having fun with a friend he didn't like. It was going to be coincidence that Rin wanted to go where they were going and it was going to be coincidence that Sesshomaru was the one to take Rin. Everything was a coincidence. Both parties would be surprised that they met. Kagome grinned vengefully. Yes. It was a perfect plan.

Thinking about that brought her mind to Koga. Since her meeting with Taishio Kagome and Koga had gone on many play dates. The first was an arcade. It had been by far her favorite date. She loved video games, probably because her first week out of the hospital was spent playing them with Souta. Though that didn't stop the other play dates from being exciting. They had gone to the amusement park, and he had taken her on her favorite ride, the Ferris wheel. They went hiking, boating, surfing, something Kagome found extraordinary and fun. She hadn't thought she'd had so much fun. And the wonderful thing was she was beginning to remember more things.

Lately, a lot of her memories had been through dreams. Not too long after she met with Miroku she had a dream of meeting him again. Though it was different and Miroku and Sango weren't engaged, but it was an awkward feeling dream. Then there was a dream about a dress. That was an extremely weird dream. She recognized the dress as one she had worn to dinner with Souta. But the dream consisted of the dress dancing and swaying prettily in front of Kagome. Then she heard voices, at first in whispers. Soon they turned into an audible conversation and she recognized the voices as hers and Souta's.

But, the dream that she kept having was one with a mysterious man in it. In the dream she knew she could see his face, but she could never remember it when she woke up. The only thing she remembered was his piercing eyes. The color escaped her but the way they looked at her made her heart dance. Her dreams had been a mixture of confusion. She wasn't sure what was what anymore. Whether it was a dream or a memory, she wasn't sure, especially the mystery man. Was he real or just a figment of her mind?

What was even more of an oddity was that the dreams followed her play dates. He was always in the dream after a play date with Koga. When they went to the amusement park she had a dream the same night of the mystery man taking her to the same park. And a lot of the things the man in her dream said were things Koga had said to her. It made Kagome wonder if they were memories or dreams. And if they were memories were they of Koga? Or, were they just dreams she had come up with from her day.

Those weren't the only kinds of dreams she had with this man of mystery. There were dreams she had when all they would do was walk through a park, watch a setting or rising sun, went to a movie and other non eventful things. And during those times is when Kagome's heart danced the most. She would wake up just before a kiss and she hated it. Though, not all the dreams were romantic get-aways. Some of them involved a spat between the two of them, over something silly and trivial. They started out in a joking manner and then take a turn for the worst. But, even though the bad rivaled the good, she couldn't help but admire him, in a way.

She always felt so free in her dreams and with him there she felt like she could fly. But what saddened her was that it was a dream. And as a great man once said 'The point of a dream is that it's a fantasy. If it comes true, it was never a dream.' She sighed. There was always the possibility of it being a memory. But, even then, she didn't know who it was.

"Where are we?" Kagome asked glancing around her in awe. It looked so…familiar. It was so pretty. He'd taken her out to places before but none were this spectacular. The walls shone with perfection and color. The chairs looked comfortable and felt even better when she sat down.

"This, Kagome, is 'Amour, Amour'. It's very well known for its food." His voice sounded smooth and arrogant, in a very alluring way. "Do you like it?" Kagome nodded her head as she stared at the place in amazement. That's when she noticed, they were the only ones there.

"Where is everyone else?" she turned around and found him looking at her with those eyes and she felt her heart start to dance.

"I reserved the restaurant just for the two of us." Kagome's heart jumped at that. He'd done it, just for the two of them? She'd never felt so happy before then.

"Really?" he nodded his head. Kagome squealed happily and jumped into his arms. "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You're too sweet."

"I only did it, because I love you." He said it so wonderfully and truthfully and she wanted to just sit with him, listening to him whisper those words in her ear over and over again. Her eyes sparkled with love as she stared up at him. Slowly, she could feel his body lower down towards hers, his eyes drifting close, like hers were doing. She could feel him only inches away from her own face. She began to tremble with anticipation. His lips were about to close in on hers when…

ERNNNNNNNNNG! ERNNNNNNNNNNG! ERNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!

Kagome pulled the clock out of the wall and threw it on the other side of the room. What kind of cruel dream was that? Why did they always end there? Why couldn't her dreams just let her kiss the man? She demanded justice, sleepily. Kagome lazily turned on her side grumbling about cruel alarm clocks. She looked outside and found it was still really dark out. Kagome looked across the room at her clock and glared at it. Why the hell had it woken her up so early? She hadn't set it to go off at this time, had she? Was she supposed to be doing something now?

"ARG! Stupid alarm clock!" Kagome groaned and shoved the covers over her head. She concluded that this was some sort of stupid conspiracy against her getting the proper amount of sleep.

"Now, now, it is far too early to be shouting. People are still asleep in this house." Kagome groaned even louder. What the hell was Sesshomaru doing here this early in the morning? Kagome lifted her head from the covers and kept her blanket wrapped around her body. She was expecting Sesshomaru to say something along the lines of 'I've already seen you before, no need to hide.' Or something dumb and stupid and it was far too early to be awake to yell at him.

"What do you want?" Kagome asked sleepily.

"I need for you to change. We are going to watch the sunrise together. Hurry now, I don't want to miss It." with that said Sesshomaru left her room, closing the doors behind him. Kagome grumbled. This was why she was up so early? To watch a sun?

"Eee gads!" Kagome grumbled as she threw her covers off. It was freezing cold without them. Hurriedly she retrieved her covers and swept across her room with them wrapped around her. It was too early to protest against Sesshomaru, and she didn't want to yell this early either. That left her with only one option, joining him. Grabbing some sweat-pants and a nice warm sweater she dropped her blanket and changed. Where was she supposed to go now? Opening the doors to her room she was met with a maid. She didn't look in the least bit tired.

"Is Miss Kagome ready to be escort to Master Sesshomaru?" she asked humbly. Kagome sleepily nodded her head.

"Hey, if I fall…will you help me back up?" Kagome asked and gave a half laugh. The maid smiled at Kagome and laughed with her.

"You're not use to this?" she asked. Kagome shook her head.

"She is." Both Kagome and the maid looked up and found Sesshomaru casually leaning against the wall. He wasn't wearing his normal business suits but the same thing as Kagome, joggers and a sweater. Kagome smiled, she liked him better without the suit. The maid quickly bowed and left to do something else, Kagome assumed.

"What do you mean, 'she is'?" Kagome asked. Sesshomaru motioned for her to follow him and she did so, but didn't let up on her questioning. They walked for a while in silence. "Where are we going?" Kagome asked. They were in a forest now and Kagome wasn't sure how they'd gotten there. How long had they been walking for? It couldn't be more than an hour; the sun still hadn't made an appearance.

"Up there is a perch, on the mountain over there." Sesshomaru pointed and Kagome looked past it. She gaped when her eyes reached where he was pointing. It was looked like it was more then another two hours away.

"Why did we take a car or a helicopter?" Kagome asked, still some what tired.

"How can you enjoy nature if you're inside a helicopter? Besides, I made a promise that I intend to keep." Sesshomaru said and Kagome didn't know what it was, whether it was the fact that it was so early or if it was who he was talking about, but his voice sounded soft. Not that Kagome thought on it too long. The thought of having to walk for more than an hour longer, with Sesshomaru took over.

"Hey Sesshomaru?" Kagome heard him grunt in response to show that he was listen and continued. "Why did you say that I was use to getting up early?" Kagome asked. She saw Sesshomaru's body stiffen for a minute and he was silent for a while. Either contemplating what he was going to answer or just plain ignoring her.

"Because you are." At first, because he didn't say anything for a while, Kagome thought that was all he was going to say, but he continued. "Quite a while ago, when you and I were barely on talking terms, you were staying at out house. Your mother and grandfather were away and your brother as well was staying at our house. Every morning, after the first week, you started to disappear in the morning and come back before lunch. No one never really knew where you went, or they didn't show it. One morning, I woke up with you and followed you down a path." He motioned to the path they were on. "This one," he continued. "You walked for hours and I was surprised that when you stopped we had made it to a mountain. The mountain itself was astoundingly beautiful. But you didn't look too long at the mountain's scenery and continued to walk up it. You ended up on a ledge and you sat there for almost a half hour before the sun began to rise." He glanced back to see if Kagome was still listening or even started. She was.

"It was one of the most beautiful sights I'd ever seen. I hid behind some trees when it was over, and waited for you to leave too. You sat there longer, and gazed around. When you left I follow you home. The next evening I requested to go with you. You declined and said it was far prettier alone. For the next week after that I followed you every morning and watched the sunset with you. Eventually you found out I'd followed you and said that I could come with you, that one time. I'd gotten what I wanted and the next morning the two of us walked, together, down this path and it was the most beautiful sight. Do you know what you said after that?" he looked at her and she shook her head. "'You know, Sesshomaru, I still think it looks better alone, but if you want, you can tomorrow too.' So it became a tradition that the two of us would wake up and watch the sunrise together."

"But what about when my grandfather and mother came back?" Kagome asked. Surely he'd have quit watching the sunrise, or just watched it without her.

"A car was sent to your house every morning and we continued to walk down the path and watch the sunset." Sesshomaru said and Kagome gasped a little. He had actually done something like that for her?

"You know, I think I like talking to you better in the morning. I should do it more often." Kagome laughed and looked up at Sesshomaru to see his reaction. But what she saw was something she was not expecting. Sesshomaru, though it was small and slight, was smiling.

"You use to say that back then too." The smile disappeared but his voice was still the soft tone it had been when they first started to walk. He stopped suddenly and Kagome nearly walked past him. "Were here." Kagome glanced around and gasped. He was right. The mountain was absolutely gorgeous. There were trees scattered into a forest on the side with beautiful flowers dancing between trees and in-between rocks. The cliff looked like it was made for eating a picnic on. Sesshomaru walked past her and sat on the edge of the cliff, his legs hanging over the mountain. Kagome joined him and sat down too.

She gasped again when she saw the landscape below her. She could see Sesshomaru's mansion, though very small, the green forest below, and the path they'd walked on. For some reason, seeing it so high up, made it look so much more beautiful. The trees looked greener, the flowers brighter and the cloudless sky began to slightly light up. Kagome's eyes flew to the horizon; the sun was beginning to rise. Pinks and oranges flew to the sky, mingling together with blue. Yellow shone at the bottom and mingled with orange as it rose. The few clouds that were in the sky turned a hue of a mixture of the three. Kagome smiled as she watched the sun rise higher and higher.

"Sesshomaru?" he looked at Kagome and she continued. "Why did you send a car for me to watch the sunset? I thought we weren't really on talking terms then." Kagome asked. Her eyes stared into Sesshomaru's. He turned back to the sunset. He was silent for a moment and stood up.

"I didn't think it was going to be as pretty alone." Sesshomaru said and Kagome could've sworn she'd heard sorrow in his voice. Had she done something to hurt him? Or, had he done something?

"When did I stop?" Kagome asked she was half expecting him to say when she'd lost her memory. But, he didn't. He didn't say anything.

When I messed everything up.

For the next couple weeks Kagome had watched the sun rise. It really was a beautiful sight. But, Sesshomaru was right. It wasn't as pretty when you watched it alone. She had tried to get him to come and watch it with her, but he declined each time. She had asked InuYasha to, but apparently he knew the story and refused. As did Taishio, who said even if he hadn't known the story he would never get up that early and Sango, who told her to wait for a day Sesshomaru was available or watch it alone, declined as well. It seemed everyone had known the story and only Sesshomaru told her.

Though, she had to admit, it wouldn't be the same if it hadn't been Sesshomaru. He was actually there and experienced it, his version wasn't second hand. She had actually been quite glad that he had told her. So far everyone was trying to make her remember on her own and no one told her stories. She had never actually noticed how much she wanted to remember until Sesshomaru had told her that story. And though she didn't actually remember right after he told her the story she did remember, within the week. Not that she told anyone.

She'd given up telling people she remember things long ago. They either over exaggerated or sent her to Dr. Naru. And Dr. Naru was a nice person but she was starting to think she saw more of him then she did her mother. Occasionally she told Sango things, but she was quite sure if she were in Sango's place she would not want to be told every other day that they remembered where the cutlery went.

Thinking about Sango reminded Kagome of her fiancé. He wasn't bad looking, but he was a complete and total perv. Kagome and him had gone out for the day and there wasn't one female that was young he didn't stare at with drool hanging from his mouth. A few times he 'accidentally' tripped and found a way to look up their skirts. Kagome was horrified and apologized a million times over to the girls that got mad. She had to use the excuse that he hadn't taken medication. Though, that had either gotten a hard glare telling Kagome that she should look after him better or they became very nice to Miroku. Needless to say Kagome was greatly surprised that Sango would marry such a man. But she, later on, found out he wasn't that bad. He was serious when needed and had a wise tone to him. She and he had become fast friends.

Thinking of Sango and Miroku only reminded Kagome of her mystery man. He hadn't appeared in any dreams for what Kagome had exclaimed to be nearly twenty days.

"Don't tell me you're counting Kagome." Sango groaned through the phone. Kagome could feel her cheeks burn red.

"No, it was just a guess, ok?" Kagome muttered quietly. "But I've seen him so much lately then all of a sudden he stops. I wonder what happened…" Kagome silently went off into a wild mixture of improbably thoughts. "What if he's mad at me or something?" Sango laughed on the other end.

"Yeah Kagome, I know what you mean, I had this cat in my dream every day for around a month or two and I fed it fish everyday. Then, I missed a day and I didn't see the cat for years. Then, around a week ago, he came back and looked very mad…" Miroku, some how appeared on the line and began his tangent.

"Miroku how did you…?" Sango shouted.

"Ha, ha, Miroku, you're a riot." Kagome said sarcastically.

"I'm on the other phone. Wave to me across the kitchen honey. Hi!" Miroku laughed and Kagome was sure he was actually waving to Sango. "I do try to be funny, thank you so much for your support. Sango honey, why aren't you waving?"

"Miroku get off the line, I need to talk to Sango about…some things." Kagome said pausing on whether or not she should tell Miroku of the man in her dreams.

"Oh, no need to be secretive. I already know about this 'mystery man'. Very exciting." Miroku actually sounded excited and very much like a girl, and Kagome would have laughed at him had it not been for the first two sentences.

"What?" Kagome and Sango shouted.

"Oh yes, I forgot, I did mention it a few times, but I never went into detail Kagome, I swear!" Sango said deftly.

"Sango, what on earth is that glare for?" Miroku asked over the phone.

"Miroku, how much do you know?" Kagome asked.

"Well…I have eavesdropped on all your calls. So I'd say everything." Miroku said precisely. Kagome's face melted into a shade of red from embarrassment and Sango's from anger. Kagome screamed into her phone and people around her looked and stared as she shouted obscenities. Kagome could hear Sango shouting at Miroku through her end and Miroku's.

"Come now Sango, it was merely a joke. I only heard this conversation." Kagome stopped yelling and growled a 'you'd better be joking' into the phone. Sango's shouts ended and Kagome could hear her throwing plastic cups at Miroku instead. "Say, you know what I heard?" Miroku asked. Kagome and Sango were silent and waited for him to go on. "You and Sesshomaru watched the sun rise."

"And he was really nice, wasn't he Kagome?" Sango sounded almost hopeful.

"Yes, but that was for that one time. He's been an ignorant jack ass since. He won't go back there with me either." Kagome huffed. "I don't understand the man, and I have to go, I have a play date to go to." Sango laughed and Miroku snorted.

"Yes, play date." Sango repeated.

"You do realize you're pretty much dating the man right? All that's missing is the title and hugs and kisses, unless, that is, you've already gone that far." Miroku said perversely.

"What are you talking about? They're just play dates, nothing more. Though, if he asks me out, I will say yes." Kagome stated.

"But Kagome –" Sango began but was cut of by Kagome's "I have to go now, bye Sango, Miroku." A click was heard and both Sango and Miroku knew they were done. Or at least Sango did.

"So, Sango dear, how are you this fine day." Miroku asked. Sango looked at him and hung up the phone.

"Get of the phone honey, there's no one there." Sango said in a fake sweet voice as she began to do dishes.

Kagome snapped her phone shut and sighed. They were just play dates. They were just play dates. They were just play dates. They were just the beginning of a relationship. Oh eee gads. She wasn't sure what they were anymore, but, in any case she was planning on saying yes if he asked her out. But, was he? Did he already think they were going out? Ooooh! She didn't know. Glancing at her watch she 'eep-ed' and jumped out of her chair. She was late.

"What are you talking about? They're just play dates, nothing more. Though, if he asks me out, I will say yes." He heard her say into the phone. "I have to go now, bye Sango, Miroku." So, those two were in the equation. That was good information, but he had even better info. A grin spread across his face. So, she was going to say yes. That was great news for the boss. He continued to watch her and watched as she jumped up. He knew she was late and his sensitive ears could hear her mumbling curses as she rushed off to the bus stop. He left her there. He had enough information and she was safe. He just needed to get to the boss before her. Of course that was no problem for him.

A grin swept across his face. Mutt face and dog breath were screwed now. They couldn't control Kagome, and he knew InuTaishio would never try to. He knew if he got Kagome to want to go out with him, his plan would be unbearably undefeatable. He would be undefeatable. Kagome would be his, this time around. Last time, he had lost her, and he knew he deserved it, but, he would have given anything to have a second chance. And here it was, standing ready for him. He grinned. Kagome wouldn't be his forever, so he had to enjoy the time that he had her.

But, he'd have to make it off as if he had all the time in the world. His plan was flawed if he didn't. And he would. He would most definitely play his part. Everyone had their part to play. And everyone was going to play it like a pro. It had been talked about, over and over. The plan was perfect. He just had to wait for the bait to be taken. Speaking about bait Koga thought as he heard Kagome's voice chime through the house.

"Yoh, Kagome!" Koga called form the living room. He jumped from his chair and went to meet Kagome at the entrance. "How goes the prettiest girl in the world?" Koga asked and Kagome blushed. He smirked, perfect. Putty in his hands. Sesshomaru's fate was held in his hands and he got to choose what to do with it.

"Are we going for a walk?" Kagome asked. Koga smiled charmingly at her, not that it did what it should have done, and nodded his head. He hated walks, and had Kagome her memory, she'd have remembered that. Though, that would erase this whole predicament and his plan.

"Yeah. Come on." Koga said in a happier way than he actually felt. He really didn't like walks. They were meant for exercise, not romantic get-aways. He preferred runs. He grabbed Kagome's arm and put on a happy, and charming, face. Pulling her out the door they set out on their walk.

Kagome fiddled with her coat's strings. She couldn't, understandably, remember the last time she was this nervous. And losing her memories was beginning to become a poor excuse since she had remembered so much already. Though, there were still large pieces to the puzzle of her life missing. She had remembered very little about Koga, and a few people in her mind were either blurry or just not there. Events were missing from their slots and Kagome was still confused. She was still waiting for that 'big rush of memories' Dr. Naru always talked about.

He could feel her nervousness beside him and it was beginning to unnerve him. He really didn't like it. He had a set plan and he was sure this was going to be a piece of cake. What was he thinking? Of course it was going to be a piece of cake. He was Koga, head of the wolf clan of the north. He could do just about anything. Asking his girl out that radiated nervousness was nothing.

Kagome could feel her palms start to sweat and she quickly wiped her hands on her jacket. What if he wanted to hold her hand? Was he going to ask her out today? He'd asked her many times over before, why hadn't he asked her yet? She knew she was beyond nervous and she didn't know why. She hadn't been nervous around him before. Why now? She tried to calm herself down.

He sighed. It was now or never. "Kagome?" Kagome's head shot in his direction, hopefulness and anticipation swam in her eyes. "I've got something to tell you."

"Yes?" Kagome gulped. This is what she had pictured it starting out as.

"I think, before I ask you my next question, you need to know this." Koga wanted to roll his eyes. Playing this nervous boy was a tad bore some. Sure, he was a tad nervous at first, but that was because hers was becoming overwhelming. "You need to know, that…I'm a demon, a wolf demon to be exact." He tried to sound as nervous as he could, but he wasn't sure if she believed his act. So to make things seem more nervous, on his part, he turned from her.

"Oh, I already knew that Koga." Kagome said brightly. Yes! Koga thought triumphantly. He was hoping she had remembered. He had figured she would, but he had a back up plan in case this one hadn't worked. It seemed he didn't need that one, yet.

"Really?" Koga questioned, sounding a tad teary even though he was grinning like mad, his back still turned towards Kagome.

"I remembered that during my first week at Taishio's." Kagome said kindly. He wanted to laugh at it all. One, she had said Taishio's, not Sesshomaru's, two, she was trying to make him feel better, and three, he was doing one hell of a job at acting. "It's all right you know. But don't tell Sesshomaru okay? He doesn't know I know. Long story." Koga wanted to scream. YES! YES! YES! This made his plan even better. He could use this. Quickly he spun around and hugged Kagome fiercely.

"Kagome, will you go out with me?"

Kagome was a happy. No, she was ecstatic. Why couldn't he be happy for her? Didn't the saying go 'If you love someone let them go, and if they don't come back, they were never yours.' or something like that. Losing her memory was the letting go and her going out with someone else was her not coming back. Meaning, she wasn't his. Yet, for some reason, she was still living in his house and she was having this conversation, sorry, argument, with him.

"You are not permitted to go out with anyone else!" Sesshomaru growled.

"Says who!" Kagome shouted.

"I did! Did you not just here me?" Sesshomaru said cockily. Kagome glared coldly at him.

"I did, but what you want means nothing to me, Sesshomaru!" Kagome said equally as cocky. Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed at her.

"You should be honored that this Sesshomaru would even glance your way." Sesshomaru sneered. Kagome stared at him in disbelief.

"You're such a pompous ass, you know that? I don't know how many times I have to tell you this, but you're no god. Having demonic speed and abilities doesn't make you a god. You are far from being one Sesshomaru. That pathetic wimp of a servant of yours is closer than you'll ever be. I suggest you get off your high horse, build a bridge and get over it. You don't live on a pedestal, stop pretending you do!" Kagome shouted cruelly and coldly. Though, Sesshomaru stopped listening when she started on about demonic abilities. So she remembered? She remembered he was a demon? How long ago was this? He stared at her a moment.

"When did you remember?" Sesshomaru asked.

"What? Remembered what?" Kagome questioned.

"When did you remember we were demons!" Sesshomaru demanded. Kagome's eyes widened in realization to what she had said. Quickly she covered her mouth as if it were going to take back what she had said. Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed darkly and he swept passed Kagome mumbling threats. Kagome didn't catch any of the threats but she was sure she heard 'InuYasha.'

"Sesshomaru! Get back here! I'm not through talking with you!" Kagome shouted as she slammed the door closed. Kagome angrily swung it open and glance down the hall. Quickly she looked the other way and found he was not there either. Gasping she ran out of the room and down the hall she hoped Sesshomaru or InuYasha were in.

Kagome ran up and down the halls and couldn't find either Sesshomaru or InuYasha. She had tried to back track but that hadn't worked. Now, she was lost, again. She had thought she had the halls memorized but, she didn't recognize this hall at all. Glancing about she realized this was exactly what happened the last time she got lost. The same thoughts had gone through her head. And any minute Taishio was going to pop out of no where and say 'Ah, I found you Kagome. I seem to have gotten lost, do you know the way out?' or some where along those lines.

But no Taishio popped out and Kagome only wandered farther and farther from Sesshomaru and InuYasha. Kagome continued to wander down the hall and came to a purple door that stood out from every other door she had passed for the main reason that it was, purple. Every other door was brown and wooden, this door, was wooden, she thought, and purple. Curiosity getting the better of her Kagome couldn't help herself and wander towards the door.

Grasping the handle, another difference between all the other door knobbed doors, Kagome turned it and stepped into the brightly colored room, covered with flashy lights. She stepped in and looked around. There was a huge wall of TVs on one side of the room, like the kind you see in movies where the security guard always falls asleep. On the other side of the room, Kagome saw a long row of shelves, all covered with movies. Curious, once again, she looked along all the shelves. There seemed to be full shelves for everyone in the family. InuYasha, Sesshomaru, Rin and Taishio each had their own shelf. Kagome dragged her finger along the shelves, randomly reading the titles.

Kagome gasped as her finger landed on one of the titles.
