Erased Memory

Summary:

Inspired by Ryukotsusei's crossover fic 'Erased in a Moment'. Reikai officials erased all memory of Kagome from everyone she had contact with… or did they?

Erased Memory

Someone was up to something... he knew it... as sure as he knew his name...they were, they TRIED to take something... SOMEONE... special away from him, at least his memories... of HER. They did it to the humans... she wasn't even a shadow of a memory to them. Discrete questioning of the kit and the neko proved they could remember bits and pieces at least.

Desperate, he was compelled to reconcile with his bastard half-brother and the damn wolf. And damn near any other youkai who had ever encountered her while she was with him. This was all just to confirm to himself that he wasn't insane and to, in a way, keep her near. He did this after he jumped through the well and found a very similar situation on the other side. The adults remembered nothing... well, next to nothing, her mother wore a haunted expression, like she remembered but, if she let on, they would take what few memories she still had of her away. The boy... her brother... had showed him a few treasures he had stashed away of her, but only smiled sadly, winked and held his finger to his lips as if even the mention of her was taboo.

The wolf tribe all had memories of times with her. His brother, to say the least, was beyond pissed that anyone had the nerve to tamper with HIS memory and that IT superceded his hatred for his little brother; and he reluctantly offered to bury the symbolic hatchet in a place other than InuYasha's skull.

It was a start; he had help, allies... in the loosest sense of the word... but allies just the same. The flea remembered everything; maybe ingesting a person's blood on every encounter bound his memories of her... if he would have known at the time, he might have considered biting her a few times while she was still with him... something he could fantasize about... maybe... maybe not, it wouldn't help now.

The old miko, on her deathbed started to recall the girl, the adventures she shared with them... the hair youkai, the mononoke who used the girl to reanimate her sister, training her... almost everything she experienced with the girl... he didn't want to wait until he was dying…
