InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Firefly Wishes ❯ Chapter 6 – Why Can't I Remember ( Chapter 6 )

A/N: You will notice that I switch back and forth from 1st to 3rd person a lot in this chapter. I have tried to differentiate between the two. Hope I don't confuse you too much. Sorry for the length between update, I am currently writing on two stories and I am trying not to get confused between them.

Disclaimer: I do not own or claim to own any part or characters of Inuyasha with the exception of this fanfiction.

Chapter 6 - Why Can't I Remember

~~*~~*~~

Kagura laughed as she heard the girl call out her lover's name. ~ What delicious irony to have captured those two. ~ she thought. Padding silent down the hall, she stopped before the papered door.

"My lord." She called quietly, knowing that he could hear the slightest whisper of her voice. A shiver of fear ran down her spine at the sound of his voice.

"Yes, Kagura." he responded, impatience coloring his tones.

"I have done as you asked. The monk is now detained with the girl." she cringed at the hint of anger slithering through his acknowledging tones.

"Well done, everything is going as planed." his voice crackling with untamed delight. "Leave now." he said, a hysterical laughter dodging her quickened footsteps down the hall. It was everything that she could do not to break into an all out run to be away from him. Lately he had become more and more unpredictable. Not that he was ever predictable to begin with, but for some reason, an insanity had seem to hover about the fringes of his personality.

"What did you do now?" said her shy, quiet sister. Her milky white eyes peering coldly through her soul.

"Nothing, I just did what he told me to do." turning as her body shivered violently from the aftereffects of having to deal with Naraku.

"Kanna," she said, as she turned back towards the girl. "Has Naraku said anything to you about what he is planning."

"No." came the normal short response from the girl.

~ I wonder what he's up to. ~ Kagura thought as she walked out of the room and headed down the hallway towards her room.

~~*~*~~

I slowly became away of my surroundings. There was a sound of weeping nearby, somehow it disturbed my greatly. Groaning, I tried to sit up, clutching my aching head in my hands.

"Inuyasha." came a crying voice. "Are you alright."

"Feh." I spat. The sound of her voice sent shivers down my spine. What was happening, it felt like my head was splitting apart. I felt soft arms come around me and help me to sit up. Opening my eyes I found Kagome looking worriedly down at me.

I shot up away from her touch. I couldn't take it. Too many thoughts were spinning though my head. I heard her call out my name behind, worriedly. I remembered Naraku's words, two days to the east to find him. Turning I started running eastward, ignoring her cries behind me.

~*~

Kagome watched as Inuyasha bolted away from her. Tears streamed down her face, she wished that she could do something to help him. After Naraku's puppet had been destroyed, Inuyasha had collapsed screaming and clutching his head. Soon all sound had stopped from him and he appeared to be sleeping, but she could tell that he was dreaming. His body would twitch and his hands would occasionally claw at the air. She had sat as close to him as possible, without getting close enough to get struck by one of his flailing arms.

~ Had it only been last night that he had held her in his arms and had kissed her? ~ she thought. Quickly she gathered her backpack and sprinted after Inuyasha. Watching as he disappeared into the distance and knowing that she would not catch him, she slowed down and followed his footprints in the sand. She understood that with everything going on and his memory problems, he probably was very confused and needed some time alone. He wouldn't leave her forever; he would be back for her.

~*~

I pounded the soft sand with my fists. ~ Why? ~ my mind screamed at me. ~ Why can't I remember what happened? ~ Hanging my head, dejectedly, images blazing though my head, pictures of faces, some that I knew some that I didn't. Kagome, Sango, Shippo, I recognized their faces instantly. Images of a dark haired monk, must be Miroku. An old woman dressed in miko clothing, and then a young woman in miko clothing that looked a lot like Kagome, only different. Everything seemed to be in slow motion with no sound, mouths moving talking to me, but no words.

I screamed again. ~ Someone, please make it stop. ~ I thought, my hands griping my aching head. Looking up I saw the sun setting over the sand and the moon beginning to rise. A new moon, ~ Oh, great as if I didn't have enough problems. ~ he thought, bring my hands in front of my face to watch they transformed, the claws shrinking and forming into regular nails. His hair cascading about his face turning from silver to black. His senses dulling as his transformation from hanyou to human was completed.

Curling up into a ball, I rocked back in forth against the pain in my head and heart, as darkness fell swiftly over my eyes.

~*~

She found him curled up into a small ball in the sand. Looking down at his black hair, she sighed as she looked up at the new moon. Dropping her bags nearby, she quickly erected the small tent over Inuyasha and snagged two blankets out of the bag. Sitting down next to him she spread one over his shivering form and one across her shoulders. Reaching out she gently stroked the hair back from his sleeping face, still entranced by the changes that he made once a month. His eyes opened blearily, before he crawled closer to her and snuggled his head into her lap, his arms snaking around her waist, holding onto her as if his life depended on it.

Sighing gently, she comforted him as much as she could. Gently stroking his hair and shoulders, feeling the shudders that rocked his strong frame. She began to sing softly, a gentle song to lull him into a peaceful sleep. It was the least she could do for him.
