InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Lost Memories ❯ Never Forget ( Chapter 2 )

Hello, Clarice. I'm ba-a-a-ack.

Gomen nasai, always wanted to do that. Anywho, ', didn't expect to be able to upload chapter two so soon. Though it would've taken weeks (or maybe months at that). So here's chapter two, please review, ONEGAI!

As Inu Yasha made his way back to camp with Kagome, Sango was extremely worried. She looked fretful enough to start pacing until she made a hole deeper than she was tall. Inu Yasha and Kagome had been gone hours upon hours, and, as the understatement of the year, Sango was worried. Shippo and Kirara had already fallen asleep. Kirara curled up so that Shippo used her as a make-shift pillow. Miroku was based at a tree, watching Sango practically chew her fingers off.

Finally, Sango couldn't stand it anymore. She stood suddenly and announced, "I'm going to go look for Kagome and Inu Yasha."

This snapped Miroku out of his respective thoughts. "It is best for you to stay here. We shouldn't leave and wander off."

"But Miroku, I'm worried. We haven't seen or heard of them since midday. Something might have happened to them, and we don't know about it," She said frantically.

"Supposing something did happen. Wouldn't you think Kirara over there would have sensed it?" He nodded over to Kirara and Shippo. "Besides, Inu Yasha would never let anything happen to Kagome. You and I know that."

"Yeah, I know. I just can't help but get a feeling that something's going to happen and-" Sango felt that something was out of place, and it wasn't the fact that Kagome and Inu Yasha were missing.

Somehow, Miroku got behind Sango without her knowing. Trying to somewhat comfort her, he patted her, but, mind you, it wasn't on the back. He soon found himself eating tree and dirt at the same time. "This is not the time for that!"

Shippo stirred some at the noise but for only a second. Kirara, however, wasn't bothered with this but did notice something else. She perked her ears towards the direction it was coming from. She finally recognized it and just went back to sleep.

Sango was still ranting over about how perverted Miroku was and how he didn't take things seriously enough when Inu Yasha slid into the small clearing. She immediately stopped and slowly blinked at Inu Yasha before it finally hit her in the head. "Inu Yasha! You're okay!"

Inu Yasha looked at Sango, then Kirara and Shippo, over to Miroku, and back to Sango. "Why wouldn't I be? What's with Miroku?" He asked referring to the unconscious monk whose head was wedged between the tree and the ground.

Sango waved him off. "Pay no attention to him. He's an idiot." Then she said more seriously, "Where's Kagome? She's not hurt, is she?"

Inu Yasha shifted some so that Sango could see Kagome sleeping on his back. "No, she's okay. Just tired. She kinda fell asleep on me."

"And may I ask you what you were doing while you were gone to make Lady Kagome tired?"

Unexpectedly, Miroku was standing again next to Sango with a smug grin on his face. But as Sango would have it, or rather, Sango's boomerang, he greeted dirt yet again by the mouthful. And if that wasn't enough, Inu Yasha started to stomp his head deeper into the ground with his foot while yelling, "You damn pervert! That's not what I meant!"

All the commotion woke Kagome up. "What's going on?" She asked drowsily.

Inu Yasha stopped in his rampage on Miroku's head and placed Kagome on her feet. "Oh, nothing. We were just doing... You should probably go back to sleep." He scratched the back of his head like an idiot and had a dumb look on his face.

Kagome just yawned. "Whatever, you guys. G'night." And she walked over to her stuff and took out a large blanket and wrapped herself with it before lying down and using her bag as a pillow. Everyone else just made themselves comfortable somewhere except for the monk, who was unconscious still. Eventually, Inu Yasha helped him up to a tree since he felt somewhat piteous towards him.

Then, Inu Yasha settled himself against his own tree, recollecting the day's events. He smiled some before hearing someone coming. He opened his eyes and saw Kagome with her blanket wrapped around her. "I can't sleep. Can I sit with you?"

He had heard her shifting around a lot but didn't think anything was wrong. "Go ahead."

Kagome made herself comfortable next to him and rested her head against his shoulder. She wrapped her arms around his left one and he blushed lightly. He heard a very small chuckle and sent a death glare at Miroku. It would've probably killed him if it weren't for his spiritual powers. Miroku immediately pretended to still be unconscious, which was a useless attempt.

He turned his attention back to Kagome, who had cuddled in closer to him. "You okay, Kagome?"

She nodded. "Yeah."

They just sat there, Kagome resting against Inu Yasha and him gazing at the fading fire. A few minutes passed, and Inu Yasha finally whispered,

"Kagome. If the time ever came that you had to go back to your time, then would you forget about me, Sango and the others, or this time?"

"Inu Yasha, I wouldn't forget about this time, Sango, Miroku, or Shippo. And I especially wouldn't forget you. I promise I wouldn't. Not now, nor ever. Never." Kagome moved closer and wrapped her arms around his torso. "I promise, I won't."

Inu Yasha wrapped his arm around her. `Memories like these mean all the world to me, like you, Kagome,' He thought to himself. Then to her, he whispered as he placed his hand on her head, "I wouldn't either. Not in a lifetime."

--------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------Almost sunset, the sun illuminated the sky a soft pinkish orange. Kagome was yet again walking through the forest, except this time she wasn't looking for Inu Yasha. She was just thinking about everything that had happened the night before while her legs carried her wherever. She couldn't concentrate back at camp because of all the slaps and calls of pervert and... Shippo. Sure, he was cute, but he could be a pain at times.

When she told Sango that she was going to leave camp for a while, Sango asked, "Do you want me to come with you?"

"No, that's okay. I just need some time to myself." Kagome smiled.

Sango looked worried. "Well, okay. Just don't go out to far or stay out too late. We're heading back to Kaede's village first thing in the morning."

"Don't worry, I won't."

That was who know when.

Right now, Kagome was thinking about the kiss. She stopped and lightly touched her lips. They had finally kissed. It wasn't like when Kikyo kissed Inu Yasha. He hadn't reacted back then. But when Inu Yasha and Kagome did, it had more meaning. She had finally had her first kiss, and it was with her first and only love. She would cherish it forever. "Inu Yasha..."

A slight chill blew over as night approached. Kagome decided that it was time to head back, except for one minor setback. She had no idea where she or camp was. She told Sango that she wouldn't be out late, and it was already night. "Great. I'm lost, and Sango's gonna lose it."

She decided that she should retrace her steps as much as she could remember. She soon found herself at an unfamiliar and rather huge tree clearing. It looked like the trees were just recently knocked down. The ground shifted slightly, and Kagome lost her balance and fell. When she looked up, she gasped in terror at what she saw.

--------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------Inu Yasha dashed pass the trees, searching for the demon. He sensed a demon, and it was getting closer.

He had arrived at camp earlier to see if everyone was there and saw that Kagome was missing.

"Hey, Sango! Where's Kagome?" Sango was cleaning her tools and Hiraikotsu.

"Kagome? She left a while ago. She didn't say where, though." She went back to cleaning.

"What could she be doing out when it's almost dark? Why didn't you go with her?"

"I asked, but she said that she needed some time to herself. I told her not to stay out for too long."

"Lady Kagome has been acting strangely today. She seemed to be enlightened about something," Said Miroku, who had a red handprint on his left cheek. Shippo had decided to paint over Miroku's face with red paint when he was unconscious once. Shippo was still snickering since Miroku was still unaware of it.

"Is there something wrong, Inu Yasha?" Sango asked worried.

"No, I'm gonna look for Kagome. You stay here just in case she comes back." And he ran off.

Night was approaching fast. `I better hurry. Kagome might be in danger.' He rushed off, heading in the direction of the demon.

--------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------There, in front of Kagome, stood two gigantic lizard demons, almost identical. She saw that each had a shard of the jewel, one, in the tail, and the other, one in both arms.

"S-S-S-See brother? I told you I s-s-s-smelled a human-s-s-s," Said the smaller one with the shard in its tail.

"Yes-s-s. And she has-s-s more jewel shards-s-s-s. She will be a nic-c-ce mors-s-sel," The bigger one hissed as it approached Kagome. The smaller one stopped him. "What is-s-s it?"

"S-S-Since I found her firs-s-st let me kill her"

"Of cours-s-se."

"W-Wait!" Kagome panicked. "You don't want to eat me!"

"Yes-s-s we do."

"Kill her now," The bigger one commanded.

Kagome tried to run, but the smaller demon grabbed her by the neck and started choking her. She tried to escape his grip while saying,

"I can help you... find more jewel (gasp) shards." She hoped she could stall long enough for Inu Yasha to come and save her.

The lizard demon loosened his grip. "Are you telling us-s-s the truth, girl-s-s-s?"

"Yes, I can see the jewel shards." `Hurry, Inu Yasha!'

"S-S-Stop stalling, girl. Finis-s-sh her!" The bigger demon commanded again.

The demon held her high in the air, choking her to death. She was about to pass out when...

"Iron Reaver, Soul Stealer!" Inu Yasha came flying in, his claws alight, and sliced the lizard demon's arm off. He caught Kagome before she hit the ground but was struck by the demon's tail. He and Kagome landed hard on the ground, Kagome landing first. When Inu Yasha looked up, he saw Kagome unconscious. He rushed over to her and tried to wake her up.

"Kagome, Kagome! Wake up!" He searched for blood and found a rather large bump. He tried shaking her awake.

Her eyes fluttered open slightly, but she passed out again. He laid her back down and turned to the two demon brothers, his eyes glowing with anger.

"You're gonna pay for that!" He growled dangerously, flexing his claws.

"Who's-s-s going to make us-s-s, half-breed?" The smaller one hissed.

"I am. No one hurts Kagome and gets away with it!" He charged at the smaller one first. The demon tried to hit Inu Yasha with his tail, but he dodged it and yelled, "Die, you bastard!" as he slashed at the demon. He fell to pieces as he hit the ground.

"Brother!" The bigger demon tried to smash Inu Yasha to the ground but missed. "I'll crush you!" He kept swinging, and Inu Yasha kept dodging. "You won't es-s-scape!"

"I'm tired of hearing you. NOW DIE!!!" He unsheathed Tetsusaiga, and it transformed immediately. "TETSUSAIGA!!!" He yelled as he summoned Tetsusaiga's signature technique.

Light shot across Tetsusaiga's path and headed towards the lizard demon. The demon was overcame by the power and disintegrated, leaving only the two jewel shards he possessed. Inu Yasha sheathed Tetsusaiga again and collected the three shards. Then, he rushed over to Kagome. "Good, she's still breathing." He took note of her vital signs.

He pulled her on his back and hurried back to the others.

Somewhere, before the two reached camp, Kagome regained consciousness. After focusing her eyes, she saw that she was being carried. "Aaaahhh!" She yelled and pushed herself off of her carrier.

Surprised, Inu Yasha wasn't able to keep her from falling to the ground. Inu Yasha stopped a few meters from where Kagome was sitting herself up. "Kagome, are you alright?"

The girl blinked. "Who are you?"

'Sup, 'sup. Me mean. Me leave you at cliffhanger. Me laugh at you in you face. Oh! :o
