InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Volition ❯ The Debacle ( Chapter 1 )

~*Volition~*

~~Chapter 1: The Debacle~~

 

“Morikami”

 

“We've got some problems on the new programs the computers have. Come down here and fix it, mutt-face.”

 

“Kouga---” InuYasha yawned in to the phone. Flipping his wrist, he checked his watch. “---just the person I was hoping was calling me at five in the morning. Can't this wait?”

 

Kouga snorted. “Yeah, well, Sesshoumaru sent me in to check on the program. It's fucked up, so you have to fix it before everyone else comes in.”

 

InuYasha growled. “Damnit. I'll be there in half an hour.” He ended the conversation and glared at the cell phone. `Should've turned it off last night' He thought before throwing it over his shoulder. It landed on his bed behind him. He wiped the sleepiness from his face by rubbing his eyes. He stood up and scratched his chest, smacking the kotodama rosary on the his scratching quest. The only thing he had left of Kagome…his kotodama rosary.

 

After taking a cold shower, he got dressed, grabbed his cell phone, and left his house. `Fucking wolf…should've killed him long time ago.' He got in to his black sports car and put it in `reverse' before hitting the button by the radio to open the golden gates to his estate. The gates slowly opened and InuYasha turned the car enough to place it in `drive' and leave. He pressed the white button again and the gates closed behind him.

 

It was Friday and while he had no problem of going to work, he liked to sleep at five in the morning. It had been Sesshoumaru's `brilliant' idea to place a new programs in the hundreds of computers in their company. All the computers were run by one very large computer in the basement, a computer only InuYasha was allowed to operate. If the computers had a problem, he had to go and fix it, which was a job he took outside his regular job.

 

He knew it was today. Today was the day Kagome would come from the well, sealing it from behind. Today, he'd see her and he'd ask her why she had left them. In the five-hundred years of waiting, the memories he held of Kagome were the only things that kept him going. The pain of loosing a mate was deadly, but he knew he hadn't lost Kagome. She was just five-hundred years away from him. From the shadows, InuYasha, Sesshoumaru, Kouga, Ayame, and Shippo had kept her safe…kept her from ever being harmed in the modern day. InuYasha watched her as a baby, as a toddler, as a little girl, a teenager…until the day she fell down the well. That was when they had to take extra caution.

 

He had steered clear of Kagome's school, the shrine, and anywhere in between. If his Sengoku Jidai self caught the scent of his older self, it would have been chaos. If he presented himself to Kagome before the well had been sealed, it would have possibly changed the past because Kagome would have seen his future self. For two years, they had moved cautiously around Tokyo. He had seen when Kagome had come home crying from the times his younger self inflicted pain on her. He knew today was the day Kagome would seal the well, but he didn't know at exactly what time that would happen. If it had happened in the afternoon of the Sengoku Jidai, what time would it be in the future?

 

He scowled. `My head hurts every time I think of how complicated this whole `time' shit is.' A large building came in to view in the financial district of Tokyo and he turned a corner to go in to the underground parking of the company. The company was very successful. They had the headquarters of the company in Tokyo, Japan. Then, they had five other major companies around the globe. Each of those major companies took care of the continent they were in. The second major branch of their company was located in Manhattan, New York. The third was in Sheffield, England, United Kingdom. The fourth was in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. And the fifth was in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

 

Sesshoumaru, InuYasha, and Kouga were the wealthiest men in Japan if not all of Asia. He wanted to provide for Kagome when she came through the well. If she accepted him, she would be introduced in to their company like Ayame and Kagura had been. No one knew his first name, which was good. Sesshoumaru, Kouga, and him were known by their surnames. So when the time came around, Kagome wouldn't realize it was them.

 

Now, he first had to worry about fixing the computers and then try and hunt down Kagome.

“Oh my!” Mrs. Higurashi held on to her edge of the kitchen table as the ground trembled beneath her. Buyo, the cat, rolled around the kitchen. A deafening crash sounded by the shrine and the `earthquake' stopped. Souta rushed in to the kitchen.

 

“Did you hear that, Mama?” He boy skidded to a stop. Mrs. Higurashi rushed outside, running across the shrine grounds. She threw open the doors of where the well was and found her daughter lying on the ground. “Kagome!”

 

She flew down the stairs so cradle Kagome's head in her lap. “Kago---ahh!”

 

Her hands shot up to her head, her eyes squeezing closed. It felt like her head was being ripped apart, flashes of her memories altering. She glanced to see Souta also clutching his head. The eleven-year old boy fell on his bottom as his eyes shut tightly. After what seemed like an eternity, the pain left as quickly as it had come. Souta blinked as he shook his head.

 

“M-Mama? I feel funny.”

 

“Oh dear, the well is gone.” Mrs. Higurashi shook her daughter. Kagome moaned softly as her eyes fluttered open.

 

“M-Mama…” She rasped out. She blinked, trying to focus on her mother and her brother over her. “Wh-Where am I?”

 

“Sweetie, you're in the shrine. Wh-What happened to the well, dear?”

 

Kagome frowned and sat up. She looked around. “What well?”

 

Souta shook his sister's shoulders. “The well! The Bone Eater's Well, the one you fell in to!”

 

Kagome laughed. “Souta you little pest! I never fell in to a well! We don't have a well!”

 

“Yes we---” Mrs. Higurashi covered Souta's mouth before he kept rambling on.

 

“You---Kagome, what day is it today?”

 

Kagome squinted her eyes. “Friday.”

 

“Honey, do you remember your fifteenth birthday?”

 

“Of course!” She exclaimed softly. “I went out with Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka.”

 

“No you---” Mrs. Higurashi silenced Souta with a glare.

 

“Oh no…Kagome, get up. Y-You're going to be late to school. Are you sure you're okay? You rolled down those stairs pretty badly.”

 

“I-I did?” Kagome shook her head. “I-I'm confused…I don't remember coming in here.”

 

“You did, darling. Are you sure you're okay? Can you manage?”

 

“I feel fine,” Kagome said. She stood up and dusted the dirt off her skirt. The front of her school uniform was wet and her face held dried tears on them. `W-When did I cry? A-And why do I feel like a piece of my heart is missing?' “I-I can manage. B-Bye Mama!”

 

Kagome ran up the stairs and out of the shrine, leaving Mrs. Higurashi kneeling by where the well was supposed to be. Souta looked confused as he looked at his mother. “Wh-What happened? Why did you lie to her?”

 

She shook her head. “Souta…she doesn't remember. She doesn't remember the well, or InuYasha, or anything she's done. She didn't even realize the well was missing.”

 

“Y-You mean she left Inu-nee-chan?”

 

“I-I don't know. D-Don't say anything Souta, not about her adventures, okay? Until we figure out what went wrong. M-My memories have altered a little. Sh-She doesn't remember jumping in to the well.”

“Kagome,”

 

Kagome turned from her friends to see the new girl, Aki, standing by a bench. The girl's red hair rustled in the wind as her kind smile urged Kagome to come to her. Sapphire eyes glowed warmly, reminding her of something though Kagome didn't know of what exactly.

 

“Aki, hello,” Kagome smiled. Aki grabbed her hand, pulled her back.

 

“Come here, Kagome,” She said as she dragged her. Kagome yelped.

 

“What's wrong?”

 

Aki looked around, as if trying to see if anyone else was listening. “Kagome, I am Kouga and Ayame's daughter.”

 

Kagome blinked. “O-Okay…”

 

Aki frowned. “Kouga and Ayame…Kagome, you know who they are. My father used to tail after you before he took Mother as his mate! Surely you remember. My uncle Yasha talks about how mad he got!”

 

Kagome's eyebrows disappeared under her bangs. “Wh-What are you talking about? I-I don't know any `Kouga' or `Ayame'.”

 

Aki took a step back. “O-Oh! I-I'm so sorry, Kagome! I was just playing with you!” Aki laughed nervously. “W-Well…g-goodbye!”

 

With that, and at a speed Kagome had never seen, Aki ran away from her. `Uh-oh…Uncle InuYasha, I think I know what her wish on the Shikon no Tama was….'

 

Now, to tell her beloved `uncle' that his mate had forgotten about him…

 

She went to classes nervously, almost afraid to bump in to Kagome again. `Oh! This is a disaster! Kagome was supposed to remember!'

 

When the last bell rung, she was the first one out of class. She used her youkai speed to go unnoticed as she jumped on to the school's rooftop. She sped over to her father's company, hoping to catch InuYasha before he left.

 

She ran inside, throwing the glass doors open. The fancy lobby greeted her before she ran in to the elevator. Going up to the thirty-seventh floor, Aki sped past InuYasha's secretary. She shouldered the oak doors to his office opened and InuYasha glanced up from the phone.

 

“Keh! Aki, you almost broke my doors.” InuYasha commented with a frown. Aki dropped her knapsack before throwing her arms in the air.

 

“We've got a huge problem! Uncle Yasha, it's gigantonormus!”

 

InuYasha blinked. “Slow down, damnit. And `gigantonormus' isn't even a word!”

 

Aki slammed her palms on his desk. “There's no other word for it! I spoke to Kagome today…”

 

That caught his attention. “What'd she say?”

 

Aki widened her sapphire yes. “She doesn't remember!”

 

The pencil InuYasha was holding slid from his grasp. His ear twitched. “Wh-What did you say?”

 

Aki sighed. “She doesn't remember. I-I think she wished she'd forget everything, when she wished on the jewel. That's why you had that huge headache this morning…maybe that's when it happened.”

 

InuYasha digested the information. His wine colored shirt suddenly felt constricting. His heart felt like it had been ripped open again…'N-No fucking way…No…No!'

 

Memories of how he felt when the well vanished assailed him. The same stabbing pain was there again, cutting off his oxygen. `Kagome…'

 

He sharply stood up, gulped and looked at Aki. “Y-You okay? You look like you're about to faint…”

 

“Feh! Damned bitch! What the fuck was she thinking?” He started to stomp towards the door. “When I get my hands on her, I'll fucking beat her black and blue…”

 

“Uncle InuYasha you can't do that!” Aki ran after him, grabbing the back of his shirt. She saw a red tint take over his eyes. She held on to him as the hanyou tried to get away. “M-Melissa! G-Get m-my father!”

 

Melissa, InuYasha's secretary, nodded hurriedly as she dialed for Kouga Taki. “I-InuYasha! Y-You can't go to her! Sh-She doesn't remember you!”

 

He growled in response. Kouga came through the elevator and pushed InuYasha back. “What the hell is wrong with dog-shit?”

 

“D-Daddy! Kagome doesn't remember anything…she wished to forget. It got Uncle pretty mad.”

 

“Oi! He isn't your uncle…much less my brother.” Kouga grabbed InuYasha and threw him back as Aki closed the door to the office. InuYasha fought against Kouga.

 

`Kagome….' His youkai blood wailed in his veins. `M-Make our mate remember us!'

 

“Damn, I've been hoping to do this for centuries,”

 

With that said, Kouga brought down his fist on InuYasha's head. The hanyou's eyes rolled the back of his head before falling forward.

 

 

::*::*::*::* ::*::*::*::* ::*::*::*::* ::*::*::*::* ::*::*::*::* ::*::*::*::*

 

 

`Not really fair is it?'

 

`Nope…'

 

`Why would she wish that?'

 

`I dunno…It fucking hurts though. Damned wench.'

 

`Kagome---'

 

`She always does the stupidest things! Damnit, how could she not know I chose her? How could she have left when I was building her a fucking home…'

 

InuYasha blinked back the sudden tears. For five-hundred years he had wished, hoped, thought that Kagome would be happy to see him again. He tried to convince himself the jewel purified itself and Kagome was waiting for him to come to her, waiting for him…

 

The hut he had built for her…he'd tore it down almost two centuries ago. His estate was now located where the hut had once been. He'd waited five-hundred years to see the woman he loved again, only to finally know she was there and get slapped in the face by fate again. He'd waited only to find she didn't remember.

 

`Feh! Stupid girl…stupid Kagome…fucking wench…' He looked in to her window from his perch on Goshinboku. She was smiling as she brushed her hair, sitting on her bed. `Beautiful wench…'

 

He sighed. After a `discussion' between him and Sesshoumaru, he had made him promise not to traumatically alter Kagome's memory. She had been so close within his reach and now…it was like she was five-hundred years away anyway. The pain he felt was tangible, tore him open in places no one could see. He sighed, leaning against the bark of the tree. She looked out her window and looked up at the inky sky. She mumbled something before closing her window and shutting off her lights.

 

`Kagome…we're meant to be together. I know it! I-I'll find a way…I promise I will. I won't let you slip away. Even if you never remember me, I'll make new memories for you…'

 

`That's it…go and see our mate. She belongs with us. Go and `meet' her again, show her who you are again…maybe she'll remember something.'

 

He smiled sadly. He was wishing on a fantasy, wishing Kagome remembered again. He closed his eyes. `Sleep well my beautiful Kagome.'

“You will lecture the miko's school on Monday.” Sesshoumaru said casually, without taking down the newspaper he was reading. “I have arranged it. A music lecture.”

 

“Music? Feh! You bastard, I gave that up decades ago.”

 

Sesshoumaru sighed, put the paper down. “Baka. You will see your miko and meet her if you wish. Take your guitar with you and sing her a song.”

 

“I don't sing.” He remarked dryly.

 

“Oh, but you do sing. As I recall, you sang when we lived in the States some hundred years ago.”

 

InuYasha scowled. “A hundred years ago you bastard. I don't sing now.”

 

“You will. Maybe you can wiggle your pathetic self in to the miko's heart again.”

 

“Feh!” InuYasha stood up, wiping imaginary dirt off his white shirt. “If we're done here, I think I'll leave now.”

 

“Be at the miko's school Monday at ten.”

 

“Feh!”

 

InuYasha rolled his eyes, walking on to the hallway of the Inutaisho mansion. He rounded the corner, went down the stairs, through the overly large living room and in to the kitchen.

 

“Kagura, I'm leaving.” InuYasha poked his head in to the neat kitchen where Kagura was. The wind sorceress nodded.

 

“Goodbye InuYasha.” She said with a small wave.

 

Relieved to be out of that bastard's house, InuYasha left the estate and went home. `Be in Kagome's school on Monday, huh? Fuck…damn that asshole. I haven't sung in a hundred years…How the hell am I supposed to get back in to it in less than four days?''

 

Okay, he had sung. It was only because he had wanted to sing for Kagome when he finally got there and had composed one song. He had sung it so well that people had started to take notice and he had slipped away from America before he went in to stardom, something the hanyou didn't want. Now Sesshoumaru was using that against him.

 

`Feh!'

 

`Kagome…will you like it?'

 

He sighed. Only one way to find out….

~*Volition~*

Kagome mistakenly makes a wish on the jewel after Naraku's death. It forces the well to close and leave her second family behind. Now, InuYasha has waited 500 years to finally see Kagome again, but when he does see her, she is not the 'Kagome' he thought he'd face...

So how does a hanyou convince a miko to love him all over again?

 

A/N:

This chapter doesn't really focus on Kagome a whole lot, it reflects InuYasha's feelings. However, next chapter, will reflect Kagome's missing feelings.

 

 

Volition- the act of making a choice or decision; a desire; a wish.
