InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Lost Memories ❯ An Unforgetful Dream ( Chapter 7 )
Hey, y'all. Guess what? I had no school Friday, so I had enough time to type up the last two chapters of LM and another chapter of EE. Yay! Well, really, oh, darn. LM will be over with as soon as you read the last chapter. But don't worry, there's a sequel. It's longer thankfully, but it's not finished written yet. Still in the middle of it.
So slow updates will be the end of me if I don't get my internet back up, but since I don't rule this house, I can only wait till my parent/guardian fixes it. Yes, I'm a minor for now, but, who gives a damn. At least I'm not drunk or on weed or crack. So, let me do whatever the damn I pleases to do in my bitchen-ass, hellin' house, ya muthafucka's. JK *~*. Too much Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
So, on to me daggon fanfic. Giddyup cowgal.

Dammit.
"Kagome!" Inu Yasha rushed to the edge of the cliff's edge, trying to make it before Kagome fell to her death. He arrived a second too late as Kagome plunged into the dark pit. Inu Yasha rushed down the side of the cliff as he tried to catch up with Kagome.
When he was close enough he reached out and grabbed her wrist. He brought her into his arms as he grabbed the edge of a rock to stop falling. He then began to leap up the cliff when one of the rocks gave way and he lost hold of Kagome. One hand grabbed for something to cling on while the other reached out for Kagome's hand. Her hand slipped away from his and she fell back.
"No, Kagome!" He watched Kagome fall to the darkness. However, a light came up with Kagome on its back. It was Kirara carrying Kagome flying up towards Inu Yasha. He grabbed her mane and thanked her for rescuing Kagome.
At the top, Miroku and Sango called, waiting for Kirara to hopefully bring back their fallen friends. "Hey, Inu Yasha, are you okay?!"
Slowly, the fire cat ascended into view, carrying Inu Yasha and Kagome. She reached to the top and let Inu Yasha climb off with Kagome in his arms.
"Good girl," Sango said as the already small cat jumped into her arms.
Inu Yasha placed Kagome on the ground. "Kagome, wake up! Can you hear me? Kagome!"
Kagome opened her eyes slightly and looked at Inu Yasha. "You're okay. You're back to normal," She said weakly.
"You're gonna be okay, too." Kagome smiled weakly before falling into a deep sleep. "Kagome! Stay with me! Come on, Kagome!" She remained asleep.
Eda's eerie laugh resounded through out the area once more. "Good show, what a good show, indeed. Though a little disappointing. You were supposed to kill her. No matter. You'll all die soon enough, anyway." Eda watched amused as Inu Yasha laid Kagome back on the ground and turned to her direction, his hair obscuring most of his face. She could sense the anger growing around him. "Why, dear Inu Yasha, you seem upset, even mad perhaps."
"You got that right," He snarled. "You'll pay…for what you've done."
"Me? Whatever did I do?" She asked all-too-sweetly.
"You hurt Kagome, and no one gets away with that!"
"Well, if I remember correctly, you were the one that tried to kill her. So, I wouldn't put it past myself saying that it's my fault."
Inu Yasha wouldn't listen to her as he charged towards the cliff. "I don't give a damn about what you say. I'm gonna kill you!" He leapt over the gap between the edges of the cliffs and ran up the top, grabbing Tetsusaiga along the way. He jumped high above the top of the edge and spotted Eda.
Eda smiled wickedly and said, "So, you think you can kill me? You won't get near without me killing you first!" Her hands began glowing as sharp, spike-shaped roots and branches shot towards Inu Yasha.
Still in mid-air, Inu Yasha transformed the Tetsusaiga. It glowed red and began pulsing as the wind swirled around it. Inu Yasha was tapping into the Tetsusaiga's ultimate attack, the Bakuryuuha, or the Backlash Wave.
The wind quickened around Tetsusaiga. Inu Yasha swung his sword down as the roots and branches were within a meter of him. Tornadoes launched from Tetsusaiga as soon as he said the two words, "Backlash… Wave!" The branches and roots were hurled back at Eda.
She brought up a wall of wood in front of her to protect herself from her own attack. The branches stopped at the wall, and Eda said, "You think you can kill me that easily. Think again! You can't - What the - ?" The wall was torn apart as the tornadoes reached Eda. She screamed as she was too torn to pieces and disintegrated, leaving only the shard intact.
Inu Yasha landed to where the remaining fragments of the wood sprite fell to the ground. He picked up the shard and looked at the remnants. "You shouldn't have pissed me off." He walked to the edge and jumped down to the clearing below. Sango and Miroku were kneeling next to Kagome, trying to see if she would be okay.
"Is Kagome okay?" Inu Yasha asked as he sprinted over.
"She'll be okay. There's only a small cut across her left cheek, but nothing's wrong. She's still unconscious, though," Sango reassured him.
Inu Yasha too kneeled down next to Kagome. "This is all my fault. I shouldn't have left her alone."
Miroku placed a hand on his shoulder. "There's no use beating yourself up over it. Plenty demons do that enough for you. The important thing is that she's okay and not hurt. Now, come on, it's late, and we should head back," He said trying to encourage him a little.
"Right." He tried to pick her up when he felt her shaking and her skin was cold. "Something's wrong."
Sango felt her forehead and cheek. "I think she's in a state of shock. She's shaking all over and she's lost a lot of heat in her skin. We should try to keep her warm and not move her around too much."
Inu Yasha took off his outer kimono and wrapped it around Kagome. He picked her up vigilantly and said, "Come on, let's go!" Sango and Miroku mounted Kirara, and they all hurried back to Kaede's village.
Several hours before dawn, everyone was in Kaede's hut, resting for the next day. Shippo slept next to a curled up Kirara, not wanting to disturb Kagome, and Kaede rested on the opposite side from them. Miroku slept contently with his staff laying to his right, but, oddly enough, Sango slept peacefully leaning on Miroku, her Hiraikotsu lying to her left just in case. Inu Yasha sat in his corner with Kagome still asleep in his lap. The sleep powder that Eda had blown on Kagome hadn't worn off yet, so she was still sleeping abnormally.
Guilt was the only thing Inu Yasha was feeling. He felt horrible about what had almost happened. Even though he had mastered the Tetsusaiga and its two ultimate techniques, the Backlash Wave and the barrier-breaking technique, months ago, he had still transformed when Kagome needed him the most. He looked down at Kagome in his arms. Her face was looking at the fire, though she was still asleep. He gently stroked her bangs out of her face, and this movement caused her to unconsciously turn her head and snuggle into Inu Yasha's arm. That's when he saw the small cut on her left cheek that he made. He assumed that when he tried to attack her and hit the space next to her instead, a rock must have cut her. He rubbed his thumb over the tiny wound, and Kagome flinched slightly in her sleep. But to him, it felt like she had writhed in pain. This made him feel even worse. "I'm sorry, Kagome," He said softly to her.
Inu Yasha laid Kagome on the floor and walked out of the hut to through his frustration. But Kagome had problems of her own in her sleep.
Kagome wandered in the darkness, confused, lost, blinded by her frustration. She shivered as it became colder. "It's s-s-soooo cold-d-d-d." Her teeth chattered as she tried to warm her body. She called out as she wandered aimlessly, "Hello? Is anyone here? Can someone tell me where I am?" An ill wind blew over. Kagome called out again. "Shippo, Sango, Miroku, where are you? Inu Yasha, are you there? Somebody…anybody…answer me…"
Kagome continued walking until she tripped over something and began falling. She fell continuously even further into the darkness. As she drifted down the dark abyss, her memory began to fade. She watched as her friends appeared and then vanished one by one into the nothingness. "No, don't go!" Kagome reached out for them, her eyes teary. "No, please…don't leave me alone…" She closed her eyes as the last one disappeared and fell to oblivion.
She didn't remember hitting the ground. She didn't even know how long she fell. When Kagome opened her eyes, she found herself in another dark place with the moon as her single source of light. She couldn't remember where she was or what her name was. She had forgotten herself. She tried to stand but was too weak and only sat there helplessly.
Suddenly, four figures walked towards her. "Who are you?" She asked.
The smallest figure spoke first. "Are you alright?"
"What's the matter?" said the second shadow.
"Do I know you?" Kagome asked. "Can you tell me who I am?"
"You mean you don't know who you are?" asked the third.
"No, I don't."
"You don't remember anything?" The last one questioned.
"Nothing. You all, you seem so familiar. You're voices…I've heard them before. But…I don't know. It's hopeless."
"So you're just gonna give up?" The second figure spoke again.
"Your voice, it's so familiar, so…close. Who are you?"
The figure walked closer to her. It stooped down in front of her and gently held her arms. "But it's me. Don't you remember?"
Kagome looked up at the shadow. She tried to distinguish any features when she noticed the figures eyes glowed slightly in the dark. She looked closer into its eyes and saw that they were golden-yellow. Soon, the figures face became clearer, and Kagome saw a young man with flashing golden-amber eyes, long silver hair, and white, furry dog ears. She recognized the features and his name came naturally to her. "Inu Yasha?"
Inu Yasha smiled. Kagome's eyes lit up as the other three shadows became clearer and revealed her friends. "Shippo, Sango, Miroku! I remember you! And my name…"
"Inu Yasha stood up. "So, what is it?"
"It's…My name is Kagome. Ka-go-me." Everything became clearer as the sun rose and she could see all around her.
Shippo ran up to Kagome and hugged her. "Kagome!"
Sango and Miroku stepped closer. "Let's go!" they said in unison.
Kagome tried to stand up again but couldn't. "I can't get up. Could you help me, please?"
Inu Yasha, Miroku, and Sango held their hands out. "Sure," they said together.
"Thanks, you guys." She held up hers, and they took it. She smiled as she rose to her feet. That's right. As long as I have my friends, I can overcome any obstacle, Kagome thought to herself as she was pulled towards the light. That includes regaining my memory too.
Kagome slowly opened her eyes. The sleep powder finally wore off, and she could wake up. Kagome sat up rubbing her head as Inu Yasha's haori fell to her thighs. She looked around her to see everyone there asleep and Inu Yasha absent.
Kagome stood up steadily and placed the kimono around her. She walked outside looking for Inu Yasha. She followed the path that led to outside the village and to the forest. Hopefully, she was going the right way to Inu Yasha.
She soon came across the hill that overlooked the rice fields and forest. There, she saw Inu Yasha staring at the sky. "Inu Yasha?" She queried.
Inu Yasha looked back at Kagome, his eyes full of emotions. The one that overlapped the rest was his sadness.
