Chapter 15

Sesshomaru's POV

When Kagome opened her eyes, I could have sighed in relief and hugged her for the longest time, but my mask would not allow that. Inuyasha and the kitsune began yelling in an instant, but they were shocked into silence with one phrase from Kagome.

"Who are you all?"

Even I could not hold back my emotions. Shock, surprise, worry, and sadness were clear on my face as they were on the other's faces

Kagome's POV

"Really, who are you? Where am I? Who am I? Can you tell me anything?" I had no idea what was going on and why I was surrounded by many people I didn t recognize. The first to speak was a person with white hair and dog ears, but he just yelled at me.

"What are you talking about?! How can you not know who I am?! WHAT THE HELL!"

"Inuyasha, yelling is not going to help anyone. I m sorry about his behavior, he gets angry and can't control it. Do you know your name or anyone here?" The man in monk's clothing spoke to me next and was much kinder than the man he called 'Inuyasha' , so I answered him with the truth.

"I have no idea who I am, and I don t know anyone in this room. I'm really sorry." The man closest to me was worrying me, though I don't know why I was worried. He looked heartbroken at what I said, though he looked so familiar!

"Well, I will do my best to explain the basics to you that I can. Your name is Kagome, and I am Miroku. He, with the dog ears, is Inuyasha, and the woman is Sango. The older woman is Kaede, and the kitsune is Shippo. Lastly, the other man with silver hair is your mate. This is the feudal time era, and we have all been searching for the shikon jewel shards. We have also had many deadly battles with a horrible youkai named Naraku. I also believe that it is Naraku that has done this to you." Everything that he was saying to me was very confusing, but I didn't have any other choice but to believe what he was saying.

"Alright, so if this is all true, what caused me to be like this?" Now Sango answered me.

"Naraku sent a youkai to implant poison which causes you pain and unleashes your anger easily. If you completely lose your grip on your anger, the poison will transform you into a youkai and kill you. The intense pain might ve caused you to lose all your memories for the time. I m sure that they will come back with time." After all this new information was thrown at me, I was really exhausted and confused. Somehow, the man seemed to be aware of this. Was he really my mate?

"Now that she is aware of the situation, I must ask you all to leave so she can rest properly. My servants will make sure you all have been situated to stay here, now please leave us." Inuyasha had to be dragged out by Miroku and Sango, but eventually all the noise went away, and it was just me and the strange youkai. He turned to me with such a sad face, I couldn't take it.

"Do you truly not remember me?" I wanted to scream at him to stop looking at me like that.

"I'm sorry! I don't remember your name! All I can remember are the feelings that I had for you and that you re face is very familiar to me." Thankfully, his sad expression diminished, and he stepped closer to me and laid down next to me on the bed.

"That is alright, you will remember with time, I know. For now, just sleep." He drew me in close and comforted me. I couldn t help but begin to drift off. The feel of him was just so familiar and before I fell asleep I suddenly whispered to him, "I love you, Sesshomaru."
