Searching, Somewhere From Within My Past

For Someone Once Forgotten

By Inuyashas Youkai

"My apologies Inuyasha , but I have to be certain the threat on Kagome's life is gone before I let you anywhere near her , but I need to do it fast because there isn't much time .."

"Will some one please just tell me what the fuck is going on here !"Inuyasha frustratedly spat back because he couldn't remember a damn thing , and that brought fear coursing coldly through his veins, as one came to mind.

Kagome.

Once deeming the situation safe for the moment , Sesshomaru decided that they had to get back because to much time had already passed by already , and if any of his intuitive instincts were any clue by the warning signs then it was way past the time that the elder youkai wanted to be away. Upon coming up on the last sprint for the demons within the group , as to where you can actually see the castle from where the were , both Inuyasha , and Sesshomaru began to run with Sango , as well as Miroku trailing them from behind. Rushing towards the front gates side by side the hanyou chose this time , as they continued forth to get the answers that at the moment were evading him, and his requests for them ignored.

"Dammit Sesshomaru! Fucking tell me what's going on , and where in the damn hell is Kagome!"

"Do you remember the Kuroi sword , and how Kagome thought the sword was granted to her because of the one day she would be alone without protection ?"

"Yea ? I thought she was being a silly wench ,lik-"

"Its happened Inuyasha , you have been gone for sometime . It was true, father gave her the sword to keep her safe .. Now let's go I have a bad feeling something bad has happened. "

"What do you mean it's happened ya bastard ! I never left Kagome , I would never leave my mate !"

"And pups .. Actually she's about ready to pop , but if I can keep you as your normal self .. I think you might be able to help her whereas I cannot , believe me I tried its her aura its too strong and unstable for me to prevent what had already begun.." Sesshomaru panted as he leapt into the window leading to the upstairs hallway , with Inuyasha on his heels , then stopping just outside the room he had left her in.

"Get back , lil brother it's way too quiet .." Sesshomaru then requested as he stepped back as well quickly before ramming himself against the door , slamming it open..

Once inside both demons had heard whispers swirling about the room , as it brought home one memory of when they were children , and one now seemingly altered to include three others that weren't originally there when it happened the first time.

"Wait how did Kagome met us when we were small ?" Inuyasha asked ..

"Father .. I was right dammit something is wrong !" Sesshomeru tore thru to the other side of the room where only he could see the seal made by the Kuroi still in place where to anyone else stood a wall , and with one violent swing of his sword and downwards the seal shattered like shards of glass, only it disappeared before it hit the floor..

"Fuck Sesshomaru! Have you gone completely mad !I-" Inuyasha yelled until seeing what laid there with a large canine form protectively hovering over her keeping watch ..

"Father ..." Inuyasha gasped ..

"Father , whats happened .." Sesshomaru stated at the same time..

"Boys , one at a time . Inuyasha are you ready to reclaim your mate .."Inu NO Taisho said softly with his back turned towards the scent of his son who belonged with the mate he currently held..

" Yes , but what do you mean reclaim her , she's already mine .."

"True , but there was a time when by in someone else's control that you didn't think so Inuyasha , hatred had bloomed within you for your mate , and soon led to abandon her , as your mate .. She was expecting your pups at the time but you didn't stick around longer to find out ..Because of the ties being ripped out between mates in such a violent way , Kagome's soul was shattered .. Sesshomaru took your place to try to keep her alive but his Jyaki wasn't able to be fast enough to heal them completely before new ones existed, so I brought her within the memories kept within my resting place to slow the process down because there everything stills , but that only lasted so long . There's no time son either you take her as your mate once again now , and revert the damage ,or I' am sorry, Kagome will die along with Sesshomaru with her .."

"Give her to me , Dammit! Inuyasha screamed , scared that he lost her , but frustratedly angry that he couldn't remember ..

"Sit down son .." Inu No Taisho whispered as her laid her unconscious body within his lap , giving him once again the start of another memory of the same day with Kagome in it.

Although when the young Inuyasha came to sniff the visitors scent , he instinctually ran faster knowing that she finally had come to see him, and proven when he eventually came to stand in front of her sitting with his mother as well as his father , as the name fell from his lips..

" Kagome..."

"Inuyasha?"Kagome asked faintly , looking to the ground in a sigh once her eyes laid upon him , until she felt something rush against her gently , wrapping his small hands around her..

"You came , Mommy told me that you'd come to see me , and I waited ! Now your finally here ! What took you so long anyways !"A childlike Inuyasha said thrilled that the one he had waited for , for so long had finally came to see him.

" Its okay , I am here now.. I am sorry to keep you waiting , there were things that needed my attention before I was allowed to come .."Kagome said quietly , as she then noticed his parents walking away , giving them privacy , but before they walked away completely his mother parted with these words ..

"Now we will be right here , over where Shippo and Rin are playing if you need us , but be nice to her Inuyasha , she is having a tough time dealing with things the way they are .."

"Silly mommy , why would I be anything else to my lifemate who I been siting here waiting forever, it seems for her to come visit me , that would be stupid , and non productive now wouldn't it !" Inuyasha claimed while moving his hands expressively to make his point known .

"Yes , we know but Kagome does not , because she has seen a side of you that hates her only because you were forced to do so .."

"What! How ? I could never hate her , Why would someone be so mean !"

"Right now we don't know , but someone has , and without us she's alone, because the one who has , had made you leave without her later in life , but don't worry Sesshomaru is working on your return.."

" I'll never leave you , Kagome.. I love you.." Young Inuyasha offered while tightening the hug that he had her in ..

"Well thankyou , aren't you sweet .." Kagome said squeezing gently back ruffling his silver locks , and accidentally runnning her fingers across one of his ears, causing a rumbling within his chest , heard suddenly by her ears then stopped.

"Sorry , I know that you don't like me touching your ears .. I didn't mean too .."

"What are you talking about Kagome , I like when you touch my ears will you play with them please? I don't know why you stopped , you did nothing wrong .." young Inu spoke softly ..

Rubbing once again more confidently , Kagome said hesitantly , "But I thought you didn't like-"

"How could I not , where in the hell did you - . Wait I gave you that impression didn't I ?" Inuyasha said why raising his head in confusion as he came face to face with his future mate , looking deep within her brown eyes.

"Yes , but don't -"

"I will worry about it if it made you feel bad , and I am sorry that I made you get that impression, but its not so .. I love it when you rub , and play with my ears .. It makes me feel complete , along with your comforting scent , because you love them, and it shows the way you do it , not like you are going to hurt them , more so like a gentle caress ..

Giggling , Kagome answered, "Well I am glad that you feel that way .."

" I am glad to only hear you laugh , knowing that you are happy with me .."Inuyasha said lazily , leaning back on her lap so she can reach easier , and continue in her rather delicious treatment of his ears..

"I am happy , thank you .. I was always happy with you , Inuyasha , know that I used to be back when you loved me like you do now , and when you were by my side , but even though I am told that I will be again .. I guess I feel otherwise , and then you might soon discover what a truly pathetic copy I really am , then go away to the one claiming your heart originally .. Sorry I shouldn't your only a child , even though you are Inuyasha , but still. It's not you ."

"What the hell ?" Little Inuyasha stated shocked , quickly rising up to look into her eyes , seeing the tears there , wiping them away not liking to see them on her before he spoke again.

"I really hurt you haven't I ? I can feel it , your soul seems shattered , and your bounds to me weak .. Why is that ? Is that what you had to do before you could come to see me ?"

" Sorry Inuyasha , its not your fault , really ... Don't worry about it , okay ?"Kagome offered to comfort him , reaching to grasp his ear to rub them , but the hanyou child grasp hers in his little one's holding them tightly then whispered..

"No , Kagome .. Listen to me I don't know what happened for you to appear to me like this now , nor do I know what caused this but know that I could not intentionally leave my mate for anyone or for any reason , unless it was forced . I could never hate you , or the pups you now carry . I will worry about it because as your mate at any age its my job to care for you no matter what stupidity I lead you too believe .. I want you, and you alone ..Okay ?"The child Inuyasha told her while smiling ..

Smiling back down at him , Kagome gave .." Okay , I'll try .."

' If you can hear me , you need to hurry , and return home ..Our mate needs us , and I don't know for how long mate can be in this state ..My guess is not to much longer before she breaks indefinitely ..' Little Inu thought within his mind his eyes closed , hoping beyond hope that his older self would be able to hear him..

Although something came to him , as he noticed the same look that was shared on his mate's , was also upon his brother ,as Sesshomaru watch on his intended Rin .Looking back upon his own mate , the young Inu child finally caught on as to why this was so , and it was because of supposedly something that he was forced to do that also made his brother take on in his place , until he , himself was able to return , obvious to the ,mark laid over his to present the unraveling of Kagome's soul, preventing his brother to act upon his own intent with his own mate..

' Shit ! What is it that I have done ! They'll both die if this keeps up much longer dammit !' Young Inuyasha frantically thought , running his hands through his hair , until his frightening musings were destroyed when a sudden thud hit the ground ,as Kagome fell losing consciousness..

"Kagome !" The child cried running as fast as his legs would carry him , until he was sitting next to her , hearing the whisper falling from your lips as she feel deeper into the coming dark .

"And I love you Inuyasha , always have .. Know that I don't blame you for any of it mate .."

"Mommy ! Daddy ! Please help me ! Kagome , please just hold on for me !Don't go !" little Inuyasha cried..

"Don't worry , lil brother ..It's not your fault "Sesshomeru came from the trees above him landing before him , as his parents came near when he picked her up ..

"Oh dear , will she be alright!" Izayoi asked concerned

"Sit down , Inuyasha .." Sesshomaru told as he settled the unmoving hanyouess miko upon the child's lap , seeing as his brother cuddled her against him , whining for he was very afraid for his future mate, then the oldest turned to answer his parents .

Presently...

When Inuyasha looked down at Kagome 's palling form snuggled against him , the hanyou then lowered his lips to where her neck met that of her shoulder, as tears began to fall , whispering the words he only hoped that his mate would hear him..

"I 'am sorry I hurt you , Kagome .. Come back to me mate , I need you .. Please don't leave me , not like this ..." was said before biting down firmly , rubbing small circles upon her engorged belly , as he reclaimed the mate once forgotten .

But as the ties between them reformed between them , so had the memories , reminding him of the day it all started , the day he left her , hating his own mate , and shattered that of her soul , as the ties binding them were violently ripped from her , the moment Inuyasha vanished for sometime from her life ...
