Inuyasha runs beside me as I biked. I am surprised that he is able to run that fast.
When he first walked over to me he smiled down at me telling me how he was so glad I still remembered and how he couldn't wait to get these pants off and hat and be back in his kimono. Inuyasha slowly stopped talking though as he saw a blank look appear on my face.
Now he just runs beside me, lost in his thoughts and me in mine. How would I ever be able to go to school tomorrow? I didn't want to face those people that hate me. I keep on repeating what happened today without it dawning on me that we were already at my house. I didn't want Inuyasha to leave me though. He is the only one I had.
"Inuyasha…" I mumble.
"Let's go for a walk," he says grabbing my hand. For some reason that I can't explain my face flushes red from the touch from him.
As we walk we begin to talk and I realize how stupid he is. Actually, how stupid, funny, conceded, naïve, and cute he is. I can't help it; I find myself looking at him and sort of falling for him. It's as if I've known him forever.
We finally stop at the train tracks in the middle of the forest. The flower wind their way across the floor but stop directly at the tracks. The trees seem to tower over us as if to protect us from the sunlight. I never knew this place excised.
"Hey can I have your cell number," I ask Inuyasha. I know it is completely random question to ask here but I wanted to get it before I forgot.
He stares at me as if I'm talking some other language. "Can you have what?"
"You know," I say pulling out my phone and touching the screen, "the thing everyone has. The thing we use to text and call?"
He grabs my phone from me lightening fast.
"Hey," I complain but he's not listening. Inuyasha's tapping the touch screen as if it's the most amazing thing to come on this planet.
I sit down beside a tree watching him and finding myself smiling at his excitement. "So I'm guessing you don't have a phone."
This seems to make him snap out of it. He sits down beside me reluctantly giving me my phone back. "It's like you're from a different world or something. How do I know you even go to school? Did your parents shelter you or something cause you are sure out of what's going on here and now? And—"
I would have gone on and on but Inuyasha cut me off not yet looking straight at me, "I know things are really confusing now but wait because I'll straighten them out I promise."
He turns to me and takes my hand. I look in to his eyes and see them staring straight at me. They are full of love and compassion and before I can even register what to do next we're kissing.
Inuyasha's lips are soft against mine. I wrap my arms around him slowly pulling his cap off. As I kiss him, a memory starts to form slowly even when we pull away it grows stronger. I look over him seeing his now exposed dog ears, his long silver hair, golden eyes, fangs, claws and I remember who I am.
I am Kagome Higurashi. I ventured through the well when I was fifteen. I met Inuyasha. We traveled the world collecting jewel shards and finally defeated Nuraku. Inuyasha is the love of my life.
I hug Inuyasha and cry on his shoulder. I've been so scared so lost but now it makes since. If I stay by Inuyasha's side I will always be safe. Always.
"Kagome," he whispers, "come with me. Come with me to the feudal era so that we can be together forever."
I'm about to do as he says. I'm about to say yes, jump on his back, and live with him forever. But something stops me. For a fraction of a second I swear I see strings. Strings making his body move whichever way they desire. As quickly as I see them they disappear.
But it's enough. Enough to make me back away questioning what is going on.
"Kagome," Inuyasha asks his voice sounding torn.
I shake my head everything is getting hazy and my head begins to ache.
"She's waking up," a voice comes from nowhere I recognize its owner. Kaede.
"Kagome wake up don't believe him, he's not Inuyasha." That's Sango.
I keep on backing away from Inuyasha.
"Kagome, Kagome, Kagome!" That's Shippo.
"Kagome," Inuyasha whispers his voice hypnotizing. "Kagome are you all right are you hearing things? We need to get you Kaede right away. Come here so I can take you there. We can be with each other forever."
I look over at Inuyasha. His eyes call me over to him but I back away shaking my pounding head.
"Kagome you need to wake up." I recognize the voice but I can't figure out who the owner is.
I stop walking. The earth is spinning beneath me and I can't register what's going on except next thing I know Inuyasha's screaming my name.
I look down to see I stopped in the middle of the train tracks. I look back up and see a train coming straight at me and I know I'm going to die.
