InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Prologue - A Test of Memory (The Coming of Rinkatsu) ❯ Kagome and Kaede ( Chapter 11 )

Kagome had gone through the well and was now in Inuyasha's time. She had remembered everything about Inuyasha and her other memories here - Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Sesshomaru... everything. She didn't know why she forgot them in the first place... but she wanted to find out why.

She began walking to the village where Kaede lived in hope of her sharing some wisdom with her about what was happening... Kagome was hoping she just had a case of short-term amnesia.

She rapped on Kaede's door. "Kaede?" Kagome asked.

"Who's there?" asked Kaede.

"It's me, Kagome," she said.

"Kagome? That name is not familiar to mine ears," said the old woman.

Kagome slid the door open to show herself to Kaede who was on the floor meditating. "Kaede! It's me! It's Kagome!"

"Girl, I know not this name you have, nor do I know who you are," said Kaede.

Hoping to get through to Kaede, Kagome fell to her knees on the floor. She began to shed small tears.

"Kaede... please tell me you remember me..." Kagome stared right into Kaede's....eye hoping to make a connection.

Suddenly, Kaede's eyes widened. She fell back out of her sitting position. Kagome's connection to her gave her a whirlwind of thoughts and memories that were foreign to her.... she remembered as well.

"K-Kagome!" said Kaede. She went to the tear filled Kagome and hugged her.

Kagome then realized that she did not have amnesia and that her memory loss and Kaede's was too strange to be a coincidence. She knew something was wrong.
