InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Prologue - A Test of Memory (The Coming of Rinkatsu) ❯ Kagome's Knowledge Refreshened ( Chapter 12 )

"So what do you think happened?" asked Kagome.

"I do not know..." replied Kaede. "But something even stranger... I have a memory of ye destroying the Shikon Jewel..."

Kagome was confused.

"But for some reason the jewel is in tact. It is whole," said Kaede.

"What?" said Kagome in confusion.

"And someone has stolen it!" said Kaede. "Inuyasha is looking for the thief... but he hasn't had much luck."

"This is too much of a coincidence..." thought Kagome. "First I forget all about Inuyasha and now Kaede say's it was like I was never here...unless....!"

"This can't be a coincidence!" yelled Kagome.

"What?" asked Kaede.

"The Shikon Jewel! I was the reason it was shattered! But you tell me it's as though I was never here before I reminded you of those memories... and then someone stole the jewel..."

"This is the work of someone." Kaede got a look of worriedness on her face. "What if ye were never supposed to have these memories... what if something happened that made your fall through the well never happen..."

"It's cleaver... one whole object is easier to find than hundreds..." said Kagome

"And even stranger... not long after the thievery Naraku was killed. Only one with incredible power could do so - one with the jewel," stated Kaede. "We know not this person's intentions in using the jewel... although Naraku is dead I still sense a negative aura in the air. Something is not right."

"I need to find Inuyasha!" said Kagome. "I need him!"

"He was headed north... he left only a short time ago. Maybe an hour or less. He had stopped by for food and then darted away. But Kagome -" Kaede couldn't finish. Kagome was long gone. It was good that she didn't finish too.

"Inuyasha loves Kikyo now..." whispered Kaede.
