InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Prologue - A Test of Memory (The Coming of Rinkatsu) ❯ The Enchanted Cliff ( Chapter 18 )

Kagome and Sango were walking up a path that a traveler they had met told them was northward. Sango had now remembered everything about Inuyasha and her time with him as a group. It was still night time, but the sun was waiting eagerly to replace the moon in the sky.

"So," said Sango, "who do you think could've done this? Who could've contemplated this evil scheme?"

"I'm not even sure if it was someone... I'd like to think it was just a coincidence that we forgot," said Kagome. "But part of me... part of me knows it can't be coincidence…part of me knows it must be this man…"

They kept walking while making small talk when they reached a cliff. They glanced across the land beneath the cliff to see if there was anyone that resembled a red-robed silver-haired half demon. Unfortunately they did not.

"I'll fly over with Kirara to see if I can find him," said Sango as she hopped onto Kirara. She flew out a bit so that she was only a small distance from Kagome and the cliff.

Kagome kept walking along the cliff and sang a little song to herself... then she noticed something. She felt like she was being watched. She stopped slightly but kept walking, only a bit uneasy with her steps. Kagome still felt the feeling of a prowler, but she kept moving.

The feeling became so upsetting to Kagome that she placed her hand on the katana she had gotten from the man Sango killed. She was ready to strike.

Suddenly, she heard words. They sounded like a chant or spell or something... and it was in a familiar voice.

Kagome drew the small katana and turned around. "Alright! Show yourself!" she yelled.

She saw no one. She looked back and forth down the trail and she slowly backed up, forgetting the cliff was behind her - she was too worried and confused.

The ground began to shake and crumble... it began cracking in her direction. Suddenly, the ground under her gave way and she fell backwards off the cliff.
