Summary: At the beginning she was the only one who can see him. He was her temperamental, stubborn and overprotective ghost half dog demon. Not to mention possessive as well. He has fifty days left. What did it mean? Who is after them and what do they want. "I don't give two hells if I'm dead Kagome. I'll protect you and that's a damn promise," he said.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Inuyasha!

Inuyasha leaned against the wall and let out a sigh. His gaze constantly shifted to Kagome who was sleeping soundly on her bed and to the wall. His ears flicked over to the window where he heard whispering.
"Hey, Inuyasha...Inuyasha. PSSST. Inuyasha," the said half demon growled in annoyance at Miroku's voice and it got even louder as the monk continued.
"Baka ghost boy, get your lazy ghostly butt down here. I know you can hear me with your goddamn ears."
"Stop it Miroku, Kagome might be sleeping. Have you checked the time? It's one in the morning," Inuyasha heard a female's voice, it was Sango's of course.
"I have my dear and we need to speak with him. But he isn't coming," that time he heard Miroku say.
From down below, Sango and Miroku were standing in the cold with thin jackets as they spoke to one another. Inuyasha's mother, Izayoi sent them because they told her that they can see Inuyasha.
"Let's just forget it Miroku, we should go. I'm tired. I'm in the freezing cold. And do I need to remind you I'll kick your ass if you as so touch me in places I do not want to be touched,"Sango seethed at Miroku who had that perverted look on his face.
"Wait, I think I know how to get him down here," Miroku said, he crouched down to the ground and picked up a pebble. He knew where Kagome's bed was and he tossed it to her direction.
Sango gasped and hit him on the shoulder,"If I see Kagome with a bruise on her face I will pound you to the ground and you won't be able to say mercy."
Miroku rubbed his shoulder that was throbbing in pain,"I know Inuyasha and he would-" he toppled over to the left side and fell to the ground. He was rubbing his head now. Miroku looked down to see a rock a few inches by his arm, he looked at it then at Sango who smirked.
"You have to love karma," Sango said as she laughed to herself.
Two minutes before, Inuyasha was about to materialize to the two people below. One thing stopped him when he noticed something tossed into the room and going straight at the raven haired girl who was sleeping soundly.
He caught whatever it was and eyed it. That monk had the damn nerve to...Inuyasha held the rock in his hand and a vein popped in his head. He growled menacingly at the people below when he went near the window, mainly growling at the monk who was standing next to the demon slayer. He then threw the same rock at the his head and watched Miroku fall to his side, rubbing his the top of his head.
"Hmm...Inu..Ya..Sha?" Kagome opened her eyes a little and Inuyasha went to her and soothed her hair. "Go back to sleep," he whispered to her. Kagome's eyes drooped and before she knew it, she fell back to sleep, dreaming of a certain ghost half demon who swore to protect her.
Presently, now, Inuyasha materialized near them. Inuyasha held Miroku by his dark purple robes,"I am seriously thinking of ways not to kill you. Why the fuck would you do that. If I wasn't there, you could've hit Kagome," Inuyasha growled.
Miroku grinned in Sango's direction,"As I was saying, I know Inuyasha and he would never let anything bad happen to Kagome."
Inuyasha's eye twitched in anger and threw the monk back on to the cement,"Damn right I won't. Never do that again or the arm that you throw the next rock with will be separated from your body."
Miroku gulped and nodded. Sango shook her head with her thumb and forefinger on her forehead, she let out a deep sighed. "As much as you want to kill Miroku than me, we should go. Kaede said that there was something going awry, she said that it has to do with Kagome remembering. So we must give her another one of those potion thingy's that Kaede does."
"Herb potion my dear," Miroku said getting up from the ground. "I know what they are so don't correct me lecher," Sango said walking away from the two.
"Did I miss something here?" Inuyasha asked Miroku who was grinning like a boy winning a carnival game. "Forget it, you don't have to tell me," Inuyasha said, following Sango as he hovered a few inches of the ground.
"Must you two be so violent with me?" Miroku asked as he caught up with them. "Be damn lucky that he hit your head and not at the place where men shouldn't be hit," Sango told him as she glared at him.
Miroku gapped at her words and let it sink in. His eyes went in a straight line and his mouth formed an 'o'. Thank kami.
"Kagome had a memory, but she thought it was just a dream," Inuyasha said as they walked in silence. Sango gasped,"Really, no wonder Kaede said that something was wrong."
"Hn, but do you think the potion is wearing away? I thought the old hag said that it was suppose to last until we take Naraku down. He wants that damn jewel that Kagome has," Inuyasha said. Miroku and Sango exchanged looks.
"We were told the same thing. What did Kagome dream...well um remember anyway?" Sango asked.
Inuyasha's eyes were hidden behind his bangs as he looked down at the washed-away colored cement. "The two of us meeting just the day after she took the potion."
The two nodded, Miroku was going to speak but was cut off when Sango spoke first. Now why am I getting cut off from talking. Miroku thought as he looked up at the sky.
"By the way, you never told us how you and Kagome met. For the first time I mean," Sango said, she smiled when she noticed Inuyasha grin.
"It was last year, I transferred into the school around in January and people wouldn't go near me because of what I was. But Kagome...she didn't give a shit on who or what I was. After that, she became a good friend to me, she was the one person who liked me for who I was and then...Sango don't give me that damn look I ain't telling you a romance story," Inuyasha said when he saw the starry eyed expression Sango had.
"Damn you, I can't even act like a girl for once and hear a hell of a romantic story from a stubborn idiot like you," her "nice" bubble was bursted when he said that remark to her. Sango crossed her arms and walked further away from the two.
"So you and Kagome became pretty close and eventually came to liking each other," Miroku said to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha nodded,"Yeah I guess we did."
"Hey please do not take a trip down memory lane, we are at Kaede's house already so we'll ask the questions you tell us," Sango said when they were standing in front of a small home. Inuyasha recognized it, he hasn't been at the "old hag's" place in a long time after Kagome's situation.
The door opened as the three waited outside when Miroku knocked on the door. "Miroku you knock the door like a girl," Inuyasha snorted. "I am not going to bang it like a demented man. But there is one thing that is the matter of importance," Miroku said and he held his chin. "How does one knock like a girl?"
Sango rolled her eyes as the door opened wide and Kaede smiled at them. "Inuyasha, I can't see ye but I can sense you. Come on in children."
The three of them walked inside and sat down by the fireplace. "Thank you Sango and Miroku for bringing Inuyasha here," Kaede said as she looked at the monk and demon slayer.
"Look can you tell me why Kagome can remember the day after she drank that potion?" Inuyasha questioned her.
Kaede nodded and went over to her table that had herbs placed on it. "Even I do not understand why Kagome is now remember. For some unknown reason the potion is backfiring. We might as well give her another."
"Well then do it old hag. I'll be waiting outside when it's done," Inuyasha said as he floated over to the door, he hated the scents the herbs would give out.
"Inuyasha," Kaede said in a serious tone. "What?" he said looking over his shoulder at her.
"If we give Kagome another drink of this herb potion, I may not know what will happen. It would be possible that she may not remember you," Kaede told him.
"She doesn't remember me at all Kaede, so I don't see what the problem is abo-" Inuyasha began to say.
"Even as a ghost," her eyes narrowed,"Will you be willing to let that happen?" Sango covered her mouth and looked at Miroku who at first didn't know what was going on.
"Inuyasha, will you be willing to let that happen?" Kaede repeated herself. All was quiet to hear his answer.
Author's Note
I posted two chapters today because I won't know how long it will be when I post another one. I actually want to write one of my newer stories, but I won't forget about this one. Another reason why updates won't come so easily is because I'm in school and I now have a job which I started yesterday. So I have many things right now, including dance classes after work. So I'm sorry if this chapter was short. Thank you for reading! Review, favorite or follow, thank you everyone. I hope you understand. Arigato.
