InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Resurrection Remixed ❯ Remembering ( Chapter 5 )

Part Five: Remembering

 

 

Inuyasha woke up to the sound of screaming. Instinctively he pulled the gun from beneath his pillow and shot up in bed. He aimed and looked around the room trying to find the danger but there was nothing. He heard the screaming again and glanced over to his side.

He tucked the gun away and shifted in the bed. He sat beside a twitching and shaking Kagome. He could see the fear on her face and the tears that drained down her soft cheeks. He reached out for her and she fought him off. He had to hold her down and pull her against him to calm her down.

“It's okay. It's just me Kagome. It's okay. I'm here now. You're safe.”

“Inuyasha,” said an almost broken voice in a whisper. His heart ached to hear her like that.

“Yes it's me.”

“Oh god. You're here. You're alive,” she said as she hugged him tighter. She buried her head under his chin and pressed her ear against his chest to listen to his heart beat to reassure herself that he really was there safe and alive.

“Yes I'm alive. There's nothing wrong with me.”

“You died,” she said softly. “I was seeing so many different things. So many sights. All so horrible. You…you were there and then you were gone. You were dead.”

“Shh,” Inuyasha said as he held her and pat her back.

“What's wrong with me? Why can't I remember anything?” Kagome cried into his chest. “I killed a man Inuyasha. I killed a man. I'm going to jail.”

“Shh. It's alright Kagome. It's alright. There's nothing wrong with you. You're absolutely perfect. I don't know why you can't remember but you'll get your memory back I promise. And that man was bad. He deserved to die. It was either him or me. You did Kagome what was right and you will not go to jail. I promise you this.”

 

 

 

“Hey,” Miroku said as he walked into Inuyasha's office later that day. The girls and Izaiyo had offered to spend time with Kagome so he could get some work done.

“Hey,” Inuyasha said as Miroku went over to the bar and poured himself a drink the man then took a seat in front of the desk.

“What's up?” Miroku asked.

“I am tired of it,” Inuyasha said to the other man.

“Tired of what? Your work? Well you can't exactly escape that.”

“No. I'm tired of this life. Of the fighting and the killing. Having Kagome back is a miracle and it got me to thinking. I don't want her to be exposed to all of this again. I wouldn't be able to live if something was to happen to her again.”

“So what are you saying?” Miroku asked knowing just what was next and more than half expecting it.

“This is the end Miroku. I'm not going through the shit for the rest of my life anymore. We'll deal with these bastards and then I'm going to take Kagome away from here. Away from this life. I love her too much to keep doing this to her. I hate having to look over my shoulder all the time.”

“Me too,” Miroku said softly. He thought about Sango and how their relationship had been deteriorating mostly due to the lifestyle. He wanted to be with her. She was his life and he was scared for hers constantly.

“We've got to end this Miroku. We've got to get them all. After this I don't want anyone to come after us and our family. I'm ready to settle down and I'm not going to let anyone or anything get in the way of that.”

Miroku grinned. It was what he wanted for years now. He'd only joined this gang to get revenge against Naraku. He hadn't expected killing and dodging bullets to be apart of his everyday life. He had grown accustomed to it and hated it more and more everyday. He had a feeling everything was bound to change and was welcoming it with open arms.

 

 

*Flashback*

 

It was not the first time she'd seen him but it was the first time she'd been held so intimately by him. She had not known it was him and thought it was another. He was such a good dancer. His body moved in tune with her own and he made her feel things she had no idea was even possible to feel.

He held her close as they moved as one with the music. She sighed as she leaned back into his muscular chest and allowed him to lead in their erotic display they would call dancing. She felt so good being in his arms and though she did not know this man she felt safe with him. She shivered under his touch as his hand traced the lining of her body and stifled a moan when he ground himself into her. She felt his hot breath on her neck and began to melt. This man was turning her on so quickly and so powerfully that she didn't know how to stop it or even if she wanted it to stop.

She was lost in the sensation but was brought back to reality, when she felt his caress slide across her stomach and to the juncture of her thighs. It was like spraying her with cold water and she realized then who she was, where they were and what they were doing. She pushed out of his arms and spun to say something but it was caught in her throat as his amber eyes bore into her.

Kagome shook her head as the thought flitted through. Was it a memory? Could it be that she was starting to remember? She'd have to ask Inuyasha. He would know what the memory was of. She unfolded her legs from under her and hopped off the sofa. She'd been alone for most of the morning resting as the others moved around the house. They were all trying to give her some space hoping that she would start to remember if she had some free time to herself. She walked down the hallway and opened the door she was told was Inuyasha's office. He happened to look up at her at the same time and she was pulled back into a trance.

 

 

*Flashback*

 

 

She moved towards him with feline Grace. She didn't know what was controlling her and making her do so but she didn't care. It all seemed so right and she wanted him very badly right now. She saw the way he was watching her movements across the office and smiled to herself. She moved around his desk as he spun the chair to face her and quickly straddled his waist.

No words were necessary as she leaned in and kissed him. She moaned into his mouth as he responded to the kiss and quickly took control over it. She moaned again as she felt his large hands roam over her body. Dear god the things that man made her feel. She gasped as she felt his hands on her most sensitive parts then she heard the ripping of her panties and felt the slight tug. She opened her eyes to look down at him but he only gave her a wicked grin as he continued to touch her.

“Oh Inuyasha,” she moaned as he touched her. “Mmm. Please don't stop.”

She couldn't believe these words were coming out of her mouth. She'd never thought herself a passionate person until she'd met him. He did things to her and made her feel things she thought she was incapable of feeling. She almost blushed at her wanton thoughts and actions but that was all pushed out of her mind as she felt him slide into her.

 

 

 

*End Flashback*

 

 

 

“Kagome?” Inuyasha asked as he watched the woman in the doorway. When he'd first looked up at her, she seemed to have something to say but as soon as they locked eyes she seemed to have gone into a trance. Looking at her now he felt that something was wrong. He stood from his seat and rushed over to her. He wrapped his arms around her and moved her over to the couch where she could sit down.

“Kagome?”

“Inuyasha?” she asked with a creased brow as she looked up at him in wonder. She kept looking at him and said nothing for a while and it started to scare him.

“Kagome what's wrong?” Inuyasha asked as he held her hand and stroked her hair with the other.

“Wrong?” she asked then shook her head as if to clear it. “Nothing's wrong. I'm…I think…Inuyasha I think I'm starting to remember.”

Inuyasha looked at the woman as he digested the news and smiled. She was starting to remember? That was great. There was hope. He pulled her into a hug as he laughed and placed kisses all over her face. “Kagome that's great! Oh baby that's so good.”

Kagome melted against him. She felt so protected and safe in his arms. She could almost feel the happiness radiating off of him and was happy that it was because of her. She too was happy that she was starting to remember. After so long of living in what seemed like darkness this was such a blessing really.

“What did you remember?” Inuyasha asked as he pulled back to get a look at her face.

Kagome blushed. She'd have to tell him. “The first time…”

“The first time?” Inuyasha interrupted.

“Yeah. I had two memories. The first time I remembered being in bed with you. I was playing with your ears and you started to purr,” the girl said as she glanced up at the appendages. They swiveled at that exact moment and she couldn't help but giggle. Inuyasha frowned down at her.

“I do no purr,” he said with a pout.

“Really?” Kagome said as she raised her hand towards his ear in a playful threat.

Inuyasha conceded. “Maybe a little.”

Kagome grinned. “You were sleeping when I did it and when you started to wake I pretended to be asleep. You leaned over and kissed me then you went back to sleep.”

Inuyasha's face brightened. “I remember that. Well vaguely really. I thought I might have been imagining it. What else did you remember?”

“Well…I remember being here with you.”

“Here?” he asked curious of her blush.

“Yeah. Um…I was asleep on the couch and I woke up. You were sitting in your chair over there. I walked towards you sat in your lap and then we…”

Realization dawned on Inuyasha and he looked at her with a bright smile. “That was the day I realized you were my mate.”

“Your mate?” she asked him she knew he was different. Come on he had dog ears. He'd already explained that all to her though.

“Yes. You're like my wife but it's a stronger bond. You were…are so powerful. I could still feel your power. I realized that day that we were made for each other and I took you and marked you in here.”

“From what I remember I took you,” Kagome said with a shy smile.

Inuyasha grinned. “That you did and I loved every minute of it. We've got to celebrate.”

“Why?”

“This is big Kagome. You're starting to remember. Being here is good for you. The others will be excited to hear you're getting your memory back and they'll want to celebrate. This is big. There is hope that you'll soon remember all of us and how much you meant to us.”

“I hope so,” Kagome said as she leaned into Inuyasha. She really hoped so.

 

 

 

 

Sango tied up her hair in a messy bun and made sure her clothes were in tact. She made her way out of the room and down to the gym with her boomerang on her back. She walked to the centre of the room and took a deep calming breath. She then positioned her body in a fighting stance and got herself ready to battle an invisible opponent. She worked herself hard trying to erase all bad thoughts from her mind but it was hard to do. They just wouldn't go away and leave her alone.

As she sat against a wall taking a break, she heard someone walk into the room. She lifted her head slightly to look at Miroku in his training clothes with a staff in his hand. He looked over at her taking in her beautiful face but sad and disturbed eyes. He didn't say a word but he nodded towards the middle of the room. He stood there and waited for Sango to get into position. When she did, he immediately attacked.

They spared hard against each other. Neither spoke and put all their feelings and words into the fighting and at the end, they were both panting from exertion. Sango slumped to the floor and stared up at Miroku and he did almost the same thing. They looked into each other's eyes but still said nothing. Sango saw the love in his eyes but all she felt was anger and betrayal. She turned away from him and was about to leave but she felt some clasped around her arm and she knew immediately it was Miroku.

She turned to look up at him and saw raw emotion in his eyes. “Sango. We have to talk about this.”

“There's nothing to talk about Miroku,” she said angrily as she pulled her arm away from him. She wanted to get out of there but she should have known that he wasn't going to give up that easy. He was just as stubborn as her brothers....as her.

“Yes there is,” he all but growled at her. Sango tried to take a step back from him but he held her tight. He wasn't a demon in any way but at that moment she wasn't so sure.

“Miroku please. Leave me alone.”

“No. I think we've been apart long enough. We need to talk Sango.”

“No we don't. I don't want to hear anything you have to say,” the woman said as she tried to pull away from him again only to manage to get him to tighten his grip.

“Sango.”

“No Miroku. I know what I saw. It's not just my overactive imagine anymore is it Miroku?” Sango asked with a sneer. “You can't lie your way out of this one.”

“Baby I love you. It's not what you think,” Miroku said.

“I can't believe you used that line. Let me go Miroku or I'll kick your ass six ways from Sunday.”

Miroku looked down at the woman. They both knew he was stronger than she was but he'd never use that against her. He'd never hurt her…well intentionally anyway. He let her hand go and moved out of the way so she could escape him. Miroku sighed and ran a hand through his loose hair.

“Fuck!” he yelled into the emptiness of the gym. He was fucking tired of this already. He was getting out. Fuck Hiten and Manten and whoever else thought they were the shit. They were ruining his life.

 

 

 

“Tai?” Izaiyo said as she walked into the room. The man had disappeared earlier that evening and she hadn't seen him since. She knew he was still adjusting to being alive again. So was she. It was all so different and difficult. The last time they'd seen their children they were much younger and didn't have so much responsibility. She felt so guilty of what they went through because of her.

Oh she knew it wasn't really her fault but she still felt like it was. It was she Naraku had become sickeningly obsessed over and he did everything to spite her husband and to steal her away. Only it didn't work out that way and he did what he did best. He killed them. Izaiyo was happy to be alive again. She knew her kids had gone through so much just to bring them back and would forever be grateful. Especially to Inuyasha.

She remembered when he was just a little boy. He was always so protective and giving. He would do anything she asked of him. Anything to make his mother happy and she was afraid he'd done it again. They had no way of knowing what the jewel was going to do. What it would cause to get what they wanted. She sometimes hated herself because her son had to lose his mate in order for her to regain her life. It should not have been. Inuyasha should have just let things rest, but it wasn't his choice.

From the stories they'd been told about Inuyasha's mate, she was an extraordinary girl. She risked so much and gave up so much to be with Inuyasha and to help them in a fight that had nothing to do with her. Izaiyo was upset at the treatment that she'd gotten from Inuyasha in the earlier days and cried when she'd been told that what would have been her first grandchild was stolen in this battle. She hurt so deeply for the young woman and would forever be indebted to the girl.

She'd visited her grave often leaving flowers and saying a small prayer and blessing. When she heard about Kagome's reappearance for once everything seemed to be heading on the right track. She saw the love her son had for the young woman and how broken he had been. She marvelled at how grown up he was and how much he'd changed. Kagome had come back and set the house in a flurry.

“Izaiyo?” Inutaisho asked as he turned to take a look at his wife. She'd seemed to be in deep thought. He had no doubt what it was about. He thought about it a lot to.

“Come to bed,” Izaiyo said to the man as she came out of her thoughts. Inutaisho nodded and moved towards her. He took her hand and led her back into their bedroom. “It's going to be alright Tai.”

He leaned down and kissed her. “I know.”

 

 

 

“I'm getting frustrated,” Hiten said as he sat at his desk with his finger steepled.

“What's wrong brother?” Manten asked as he looked up from the children's program he was watching on TV.

“The better question is what's right,” Hiten said as he looked down at the files in front him. “That fucking dog is still alive and I'm no closer to killing him and his damn family than when we started out. That bitch Yura has hardly brought me anything.”

“I told you she was a good for nothing whore. I bet she's fucking every man Makoto has,” Manten said.

Hiten scowled. That was no doubt true. Yura was a whore and usually did whatever she pleased but she was more scared of him than anything. He'd given her a job to do and she would do it at the risk of losing her life. He looked up at the painting of his father. Naraku never would have had to deal with insubordination like this. He had everyone scared of him. He was a great ruler. Ruled with an iron fist. He didn't love his father god no but he did respect him and feared him. He wanted to be like him. He was on his way to proving his worth to his father before the bastard Makoto and his bitch killed him. He'd been after Inuyasha's head ever since. He took away the one change Hiten had of earning his father's respect.

“Manten,” he said as he turned to his brother. “Get on the phone.”

“Sure,” the younger brother said as he tore his eyes away from the television and moved towards the telephone. “Who do you want me to call?”

“Ginta and Hakkaku.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's note
