InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Death, No Reason To Forget Love ❯ Memories Of the Past ( Chapter 4 )

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha! I only own the story! But wouldn't it be good if I did own the show? Or the manga? Hmm… Anyway, I hope you enjoy! This kinda took me a long time to write. But besides my meaningless rambling, Inuyasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi.

Death, No Reason To Forget Love

Chapter Four: Memories of the Past

<*>*<*>*<*>*<*>*<*>*<*>

A couple seconds later, Inuyasha landed softly on the soil in the well in Kagome's era. He couldn't smell her sweet scent, however only smelled the scent of her blood. Grunting as he jumped out of the well, he quickly ran out of the hut and down the dirt road to Kagome's house. Jumping onto the roof, Inuyasha snuck into the window that led to Kagome's room.

"Kagome…" he lightly said to himself as he looked around the room, smiling at the familiar sights and the sweet smells. Although he had slept over a couple times but not that often, her house just seemed like another welcome home to him, in which it indeed was.

Through his eyes, everything he looked at was a memory. He saw the broken-glassed alarm clock on Kagome's bedside table, she still used it although it had been broken after Inuyasha panicked one of the times he went to see Kagome although she was already asleep. On her desk he saw not only Kagome's little glass bottle which contained some fragments of the jewel, but a picture frame with red and pink hearts surrounding the frame, holding a picture of Kagome stroking Inuyasha's ears, with his permission. The picture had been taken after Kagome had taught Sango how to use the camera. He still remembered that day, along with many others as he noticed that pictures of him and his friends were posted all over the wall. Inuyasha shook his head, chuckling. He looked like such a goon in that picture, his facial expression lose in pure pleasure. Picking up the picture frame, examining it closely as he carefully pulled the picture out, flipping to the back where Kagome had written, 'Such cute ears, eh? They're adorable! Another reason why I love my Inuyasha!'

Although he really couldn't read at all, Inuyasha could noticed his name and he smiled as he sat the picture down, reaching up to stroke his ears in remembrance.

Flashback

"Then you just point somewhere and…Click!" Kagome said cheerfully as she was instructing Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha and Shippo how to use a camera. "You just press the button!"

"Cool!" Shippo said, jumping and taking the camera away from Kagome, accidentally pointing the flash side of the camera towards him and hitting the button. He then screamed and fell to the ground, eyes watering.

"Shippo!" Sango said, rushing over to Shippo's aid along with Kirara, kneeling down beside him.

"This seems like an important item, but is that what happens when you disobey the rules? That bright flashing light blinds you?" Miroku asked, his voice with a hint of uncertainty.

"No! There are no rules! Look," Kagome then picked up the camera off the ground and handed it to Sango, pointing at the eyepiece. "Look through this glass thing here, then press the button once the orange light shows up saying your flash is ready."

Sango nodded as she looked over at Inuyasha, camera ready in hand. He seemed a bit confused, especially when Kagome ran behind him and started stroking his ears. Miroku had to laugh as Inuyasha's face became soft, feeling relaxed at her touch. Inuyasha looked up at Kagome who was smiling, so eventually he smiled too. "Press the button!" Kagome said, quickly hugging Inuyasha from behind after the light flashed and as the film inside the camera clicked, switching to the next frame.

End flashback

Inuyasha was now sitting on Kagome's bed, seeing the hat he used to wear whenever he would go out in public with Kagome, including the time he first 'met' Kagome's friends. Looking around more, he saw too many things he remembered. Just looking down at the pink covers of the bed made him blush, since it was the place Inuyasha and Kagome really had their real first kiss with one another… Nea had been at work that day, Souta at school, and Granpa had been out to visit another local shrine. They had let Kagome stay home and rest for a while after she came home from the Sengoku Jedai the previous night exhausted. She had woken up to see Inuyasha staring at her, and after freaking out, Kagome woke up and for the rest of the day Inuyasha and Kagome just talked… Their lips slowly making contact with one another just about an hour before Souta came home, but Inuyasha ended up staying that night since Souta had walked in afterwards and invited Inuyasha to stay for dinner, which they had ramen. Yum!

Figuring it was long enough, he looked at the broken alarm clock which read '2:30.' 'Hopefully Kagome must still be at that school she goes to,' he thought. But since he knew his way around the house pretty good, he exited Kagome's room and started walking down the hallway. He passed Souta's room, along with Nea's old room that had been turned into a study area. Since Granpa had died, Nea had moved her bedroom to the first floor where his room used to be, which was a wise decision sometimes whenever little kids would try and rob the shrines. Walking down the stairs, he saw Ms. Higurashi sound asleep and curled up on the living room couch. After exploring the rest of the house and finding it empty, he went back to the living room and sat on a couch across from the other couch that Nea was asleep on, carefully picking up the remote and fiddling with the buttons before he remembered how to change the channels.
