Chapter 17: Remplacement De Mémoire (Replacement of Memory)


She woke up groggily, unsure of where she was or even who she was for that matter. Blinking she stared at her reflection for what seemed like the first time. Tracing her hand over her own face she stared curiously at her hands. It was like seeing, feeling, thinking for the first time. What happened?

Who was she?

Why the hell didn’t she remember anything?

Suddenly she was hit with memories, memories that seemed like nightmares. Death, pain, seclusion, sorrow, betrayal. All at once, she feel to her knees in pain clasping her head in pain. Rocking back and forth she screamed out in agony as the memories assaulted her mind, forcing her to relive every moment. Blue eyes turned blood red in a mixture of rage and pain.

She screamed.

-------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------

Blue eyes blinked blankly staring at the wall as if it were the most interesting thing in the world. No emotion showed on her pretty face, not that he expected it, after all she was being subdued with a very heavy sedative. She wouldn’t be feeling anything for a while. He sat behind her stroking her long luxurious hair, pulling her against him he inhaled her scent , his eyes fogging over in bliss. Brushing a kiss against her temple he took his leave of the room.

Master was coming...

It wouldn’t be good to leave master waiting, then master became angry.

An angry master was not something he wanted to mess with.

------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------

“K agome.” She blinked once before turning to the hanyou in the doorway.

Her mind, which recently recovered from the assault of memories placed the tall long-dark haired, crimson eyed hanyou as Naraku the ‘father’ of her intended. Bowing low to the hanyou she spoke a greeting, her voice, soft and polite. Her eyes were confused but held no malice. She didn’t know what had happened to her to make her think she forgot her memories, when she knew everything about her past, how her ‘mother’ betrayed her, tried to destroy her, she knew every weakness, every strength of those people at Genkai’s. She knew what she needed to know to turn her against everyone back at her true home.

Not that she even realized her true memories had been replaced with false ones. The true memories were buried somewhere deep within the recesses of her mind, they would never be released if Toguro had anything to say about it. False memories made her feel betrayed, angry, bitter, pained and so much more. But a small part of her was screaming out obscenities, trying to make her understand that it was all a spell placed on her--trying to make her remember the feelings she felt for those people. That nagging voice that is otherwise known as your conscience. She ignored it. They were the enemy, they needed to be destroyed; Genkai, Sesshoumaru, Touya, Jin, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei--Kurama and Kuronue...

She hadn’t the slightest clue why that nagging voice told her to spare them. A small minute part of her mind knew, not that she paid it any mind.

Her heart knew.

After all...You can’t falsify what you feel.

What lies in your heart.
---------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------

“Is it done?”

“Yes, Remplacement De Mémoire has been cast. We have planted the false memories and her true memories are buried so deep, she will never find them, even if she bothers to look.”

“Good. You know what to do next.”

Naraku bowed to Toguro.

No matter how much he despised the man, there was nothing he could do about it. It was ironic, that 500 years ago, it was he who was manipulating people to do as he bid, now he was the one being controlled. Naraku’s red eyes gleamed--he wanted his freedom. And he would have it. No matter what he had to do to get it. He was a servant to no one.

He would gain his freedom, and when he did---

Toguro was the first to die.

------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------

“La dy Kagome?” She turned her blue eyes focusing in on a young girl, she was almost completely white, with the exception of her black eyes. Her mind pulled up the girls name---Kanna. Master Naraku’s ‘daughter’, she was the void youkai. She felt nothing, was nothing and lived only to obey. Kagome wondered what it would be like, never truly feeling anything. Never knowing what it was like to do something, be something, feel something, what it was like to be nothingness.

“Hakudoshi wishes to see you.” Kanna spoke softly.

“Show me the way.”

They walked down the dark corridors, till they came upon the third door to the right on this certain hallway. Kanna motioned for Kagome to enter and she did as bid. In the room, sitting on the bed was a slender, handsome demon. He had spiky white hair, smooth lightly tanned skin and piercing violet eyes that struck her as familiar. Everything about this male screamed to her senses, this was her intended, her mate-to-be or the human equivalent to ‘fiancé’, but something, deep inside told her this was wrong,it screamed at her to snap out of it. Whatever ‘It’ was.

“Kagome...” Hakudoshi purred coming up and wrapping his arms around her.

Glancing up into his handsome face she smiled before leaning up to kiss him in greeting as was their custom. At least what she thought was their custom, he looked down startled, making her wonder if she’d done something wrong. That’s what they’d always done in the past---wasn’t it?--Then why? Why was he looking at her so shocked? However the shock didn’t last long, before he was kissing her back, his lips leaving a blazing trail of fire in it’s wake as they trailed down her neck to the bend between neck and collarbone. Coming up again he pulled her close to him, nipping at her lips, before twining his tongue with hers. She was absolutely delicious.

Breaking apart breathing coming out in short pants he brushed an almost chaste kiss against her red, slightly swollen lips. This was better then any day dream he’d ever had, and he could bet when he mated her, and he would, it would be better then anything he could dream of. A part of him was more then ecstatic the spell Naraku placed on her worked, but a smaller part of him was telling him it wasn’t right, that she should’ve come to him of her own free will. He squashed it. After all, the only thing that mattered was that she was there; with him.

Hakudoshi’s violet eyes gleamed in the darkened room.

No one was going to take her away from him.

------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------

They lay curled together in front of a raging fire. His strong arms wrapped around her lithe body, cuddling her close to him, and she lay between his outspread legs enjoying the comfort of his body molding to her form. This was familiar. Very familiar, glancing back at her mate-to-be she smiled. But for some reason another face flickered to mind. A handsome koumori youkai with long black hair and stunning violet eyes a few shade’s darker then Hakudoshi’s---Kuronue. Shaking her head she narrowed her eyes wondering why she was thinking of him.

Something was amiss.

She just didn’t know what.

----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------

D ark violet eyes glared at anything and everything as he paced the room back and forth. Why were they just sitting here doing nothing? They should’ve been out searching all through Ningenkai and Makai for her! But they weren’t, they weren’t doing anything of use. Slamming his fists through the wall he snarled in anger--in fear. He missed her, he was scared for her. What were they doing to his Kagome? All the possibilities ran through his head, dread filling him with each passing thought, darkening his already bad mood.

“You are not the only one who worries for her.” Sesshoumaru said.

“Then why aren’t we doing anything?” He snarled, his eyes flashing a dangerous crimson.

“To charge in head first would be folly. We would be taken down within minutes. We need a better approach.”

“Yeah, well while we’re sitting on our asses, unable to come up with one she’s somewhere having who knows what done to her!” Kuronue snarled red seeping into his eyes.

Growling he stormed out of the room.

If they wouldn’t help her---he would.
