Recovering the fastest, Inuyasha opened his eyes. His head hurt from the smell of the miasma. He stood up and looked around. Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara were all near the fire on the ground. Kagome was missing.
Inuyasha tried to stand up but fell down to his knees. He couldn't smell Kagome's scent anywhere.
-------------------
Kagome opened her eyes and realized she was in a different place than where she was when she passed out. She tried to move but her body still felt numb. She figured it had something to do with the dark cloud that showed up out of nowhere.
The only thing she could do was raise her upper half with her elbows. She looked around and noticed she was in some kind of cave. Someone must've brought her there. A fire was roaring not too far from her. She didn't know what was going on.
The feeling in her body was slowly coming back. She was able to sit in a seated position. Her legs still wouldn't move much. She tensed when she heard someone coming closer to her.
"Ah so you've awaken." A dark creepy voice said.
"Naraku?" Kagome said as he stepped into the firelight.
"Hai." He nodded and sat down next to her.
"You did this?" Kagome asked.
"Hai, I haven't seen you for a while and missed you." Naraku explained. "Don't worry the numbness will wear off eventually. Your friends are fine."
"Where are we?"
"In a cave not too far away." Naraku said. "I didn't cover up your scent so your youkai friends should find you soon."
"Gomen but I told them about you."
"That's fine. I wanted to make sure that they weren't going to attack me but if I don't see them it should be fine. I was hoping we could catch up." Naraku said. He moved closer to Kagome.
"I am curious as to what you know about me. I found out a lot of information from Kouga. We still haven't figured out our pasts." Kagome said.
"Well when I first met you, you had been attacked by some youkai. I helped you out and cleaned your wound. It was just small scratches so I took you to a river so that you wouldn't get infected." Naraku said. "I just visited you every once in a while when I knew you were alone."
"I see. Then one day I just disappeared?" Kagome asked.
"I hadn't smelled your scent for days. Then soon enough it turned to months then years. I wasn't sure of what happened. That's why when I smelled your scent I had taken you into the cave." Naraku explained. He sniffed the air and stood. "It seems we have less time than I thought. Seems as though I've underestimated your hanyou friend."
"Inuyasha is coming." Kagome said to herself.
"Seems as though I must leave." Naraku said. He walked over and kissed her hand. "I'll see you again..."
A purple cloud of miasma surrounded Naraku and then disappeared. As soon as the miasma was gone Inuyasha ran inside. "Kagome!" He yelled.
"Inuyasha!" She shouted. She tried to stand but fell on her butt. The numbness hadn't worn off yet. "Itai."
"Kagome are you okay?" Inuyasha asked.
"Hai, I'm fine." Kagome said.
"What happened?" Inuyasha asked.
"Naraku was the one who released the miasma. He said he wanted to see me again." Kagome explained.
"What?" Inuyasha yelled.
"I'll explain later." Kagome said. "I hate to ask but can you help me? I still can't feel my legs."
"Baka." Inuyasha mumbled and shook his head. He picked her up bridal style and carried her out of the cave.
-------------------
"I would be aware of him." Miroku said. "He may just be taking advantage of you."
"That's what I said." Inuyasha crossed his arms.
Kagome had explained to everyone what happened. Inuyasha told her that after he woke up he woke Miroku and took off trying to find her scent. After finding it he ran to her and didn't stop. He couldn't smell Naraku's scent though.
"Inuyasha and Miroku are both right. We should all be aware of all strangers right now. They can't all be telling the truth like Kouga. With him he had proof that he was telling the truth." Sango said as she pet Kirara.
Inuyasha mumbled something about seeing her naked. "Bastard." He said.
"Will you just let it go?" Kagome asked. "He's not even here right now."
"Doesn't matter." Inuyasha crossed his arms. "The fact is he still saw you naked."
"Sit!" Kagome shouted. Inuyasha hit the ground and mumbled something about not deserving to be sat.
"You really should let it go." Sango shook her head.
"You think he'd learn by now." Shippo said.
"Shut up Shippo!" Inuyasha yelled as he sat up. He folded his arms and scooted closer to Kagome.
"Jerk." Shippo mumbled loud enough for Inuyasha to hear him but no one else.
Inuyasha's ears twitched forward at the insult but did nothing. If he tried anything Shippo would just play innocent and then he would get sat again. It was pretty demeaning, especially in front of everyone. He didn't understand why he had it in the first place.
"How in the hell does this come off anyway?" Inuyasha asked trying to pull the rosary off.
"I don't know. I'm not sure of anything anymore." Kagome sighed. "The voice said we'd find something out and so far that hasn't happened."
"We must be patient. Things can't be rushed all the time." Miroku said calmly. "The voice is usually vague."
"Now that I think of it didn't the voice say we were to recover our memories little by little as we traveled?" Sango asked.
Everyone was silent for a moment trying to remember what the voice had said. "She's right." Miroku said. "Maybe meeting Kouga was our first memory to be recovered."
"Wouldn't we have some kind of flashback or images like before?" Kagome asked. "We at least had a great sense of déjà vu and there were plenty of images."
"Kagome's right. I think we should wait for more." Inuyasha said. "It wouldn't hurt to rest one more day."
"Well then we should all get some rest. Seems all of this mess is tiring us up." Miroku said.
"Good idea Houshi-sama." Sango said. She laid out her bedding and wrapped the blanket around herself.
Miroku did the same thing as Sango. Inuyasha picked Kagome up and jumped into a tree. He got comfortable on the branch and waited for Kagome to adjust comfortably. Everyone whispered good night to each other and then finally went to sleep.
-------------------
The next morning everyone woke up. As soon as Kagome got done stretching, Inuyasha jumped down from the tree. She would never get used to the suddenness of Inuyasha jumping down. He gave no warning whatsoever.
Sango had already begun making soup for the group. "I was wondering did anyone feel weird while sleeping last night?" She asked.
"I had a weird feeling. Like something was going to happen." Kagome said.
"Same here." Miroku said.
"Me too." Inuyasha replied.
"I think I shall go for a walk. See if I can find anything around here." Miroku said. "Maybe my Buddha powers will come in handy. I would like if Kagome would join me. If we both feel something then the chances of something actually being there is great."
"If she goes I go." Inuyasha said.
"I don't object to that." Miroku said as he took a bowl of soup from Sango. "Arigato Sango, you should come too. You shouldn't be left alone."
"I guess I'll go. I think Kirara is getting antsy." Sango said as she passed the last soup bowl out.

O holy night the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O night when christ was born
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O night when christ was born
