InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Death Of Love ❯ Revealed ( Chapter 5 )

*Timeskip a couple of days later*

 

“Hey Kagome, how are you feeling?” Kouga asked. He, Ginta, and Hakkaku were all trying to restore her memories. They told her who they were, and each day they would try and help her remember a new memory, and teach her a memory that they knew about. It was helpful. Her wounds were healing, and she was slowly remembering. Kouga knew though, that to help her recover all her memories, they would have to find mutt-face. He didn't want to do it, but it was for Kagome, and even if she didn't love him, he loved her.

 

“I… I'm feeling better. Thanks though- Kouga.” She hesitated, as if she wasn't quite sure that he was Kouga. He had to smile at this.

 

“It's fine. Do you want to work on your memories now or later?” He asked.

 

“Well, I've been having strange dreams.” She replied.

 

“What about? Kouga asked, interested, thinking it was a memory. He was not prepared for her reply.

 

“Well, there was a man. He had silver hair, and puppy ears. He was wearing a red haori. There was also a little fox demon, a girl, and a monk. Do you know who they are?”

 

Kouga did indeed know who they were. He knew she would eventually remember them, so he figured this time was as good as any to travel back to Inuyasha. So he asked the question he never thought he would have to ask.

 

“Yes, I do know them. You were traveling with them. I can't tell you much. Just that the fox demon was your adopted son, the monk and girl both considered you as a sister…”

 

“And the man with silver hair? What about him?” Kagome interrupted.

 

“He's a hanyou. He was a companion, and… a great friend of yours. You spent most of your time with them, so if you want to regain your memories, and find out more, you should probably go to them. I can take you there.” Kouga said.

 

“That would be great. When can we go?” Kagome replied

 

“As soon as you want.”

 

“How about tomorrow?” Kagome asked.

 

“That's fine. Do you think your up to it?” Kouga asked worriedly.

 

“I think. Maybe I could ride on your back?”

 

“That's fine. You should get some rest. We have a long day ahead of us.”

 

“Ok. Good night!” Kagome said, falling asleep almost instantly.

 

“Good night, my beautiful Kagome.” Kouga said, even though he sadly knew that she would return to mutt-face, and probably fall in love with him, like she was before. He didn't really love her. He just really liked her. After all, he just declared it. Maybe one day they would mate, but he didn't think it would happen. He tucked Kagome in, and went to his furs, right next to Kagome.

 

*The Next Day*

 

“Come on Kagome. You can walk the first mile, then you can ride on my back. It'll be good exercise for you. I'll walk beside you, so don't worry.” Kouga told Kagome

 

“O…Ok…I don't know. I haven't walked since before the incident. I'll make a fool of myself.” Kagome said.

 

“It's ok. We understand. Your doing a great job recovering. Your gonna need to walk eventually. Might as well start now.” Kouga replied

 

During the mile they walked, they all noticed that she was limping greatly. One hand was gripping her stomach, and the other was gripping Kouga's shoulder, as if if she let go, she would fall. Finally Kagome was too tired to go on. They had walked more then a mile, and told her so. Her face lit up when she realized this meant she was able to walk again. She climbed onto Kouga's back, and knew that he could go super fast, so she clutched tightly.

 

`She knows that I go really fast. I don't think she's ready to go to fast yet. I'll slow down for her.' Kouga thought (Ginta and Hakkaku stayed behind at the cave.)

 

`He…He's going slowly for me.' Kagome though. With that, she smiled and snuggled into the warm furs on Kouga's back. He felt it, and smiled.

 

*Many Hours Later*

 

“Hey Kagome! We're nearing the village. Do you want to try walking again?” Kouga asked, gently waking the girl up.

 

“Yea, that sounds good.” Kagome replied. Carefully, Kouga set Kagome down, and was surprised to see her starting to walk on her own. She was still limping greatly, but that's to be expected.

 

“Kagome, are you sure you don't need my help?” Kouga asked, shocked.

 

“Yea, but could you walk with me?” Kagome replied.

 

“Sure thing.” Kouga replied, smiling.

 

“Is that the village?” Kagome asked, a few minutes later when the village came into sight.

 

“Yea, I think so. Listen. The group is probably going to be surprised. I'm pretty sure they think your dead. So be quiet while I explain things. No matter what they say, ignore them until I can explain things.” Kouga told Kagome.

 

“All right.”

 

`Hoo boy. This is gonna be hard to explain. There's no doubt that they all think she's dead. How will I be able to explain? Oh well. I'm sure I can think of something.' Kouga thought.

 

As they walked through the village, Kouga asked a villager if he knew where Inuyasha was. When the man gave him directions, Kouga thanked him and walked on. Many of the villagers were staring at Kagome, and he knew she didn't like it. He put his arm protectively over her shoulders while glaring at the villagers. Most of them scampered, but one old woman wearing a miko outfit kept staring. He growled at her, but she didn't move.

 

“What do you want?” Kouga asked. The woman ignored him.

 

“Ka…Kagome?
