Okay, sorry that took so long. Here's chapter 2

There is a song in this chapter: "White Flag" by Dido

Chapter II: Traveling Soldier:

"Sesshoumaru?" Kagome whispered staring at the figure on the bench.

The man looked up as the whisper swept past his ear, riding the wind. The man's auburn eyes squinted at the woman, the eyes slightly dilating. "Who are you? How do you know who I am?"

Kagome stared at him, "I'm Kagome, don't you remember me?"

"I don't even know who I am. How would I suddenly remember you?" Sesshoumaru said standing up and walking towards the woman. "Do you have any idea who I am?"

"Yes," Kagome said, "I…"

"You what? Tell me what you know about me." Sesshoumaru demanded.

Kagome tried to stop the tears welling in her eyes, "You don't remember anything?"

I know, you think that

I shouldn't still love you

I'll tell you that

But if I didn't say it

Well I'd still have felt it

Where's the sense in that?

I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder

I'll return to where we were

"Except that my name is Sesshoumaru, and I was in Vietnam," Sesshoumaru answered.

The wind wisped around them, their hair flying around them, Kagome could hear almost a song that the wind was trying to whisper to her, to comfort her from all the pain that she was receiving. A single tear streamed down her cheek resting on her chin before making the plunge to the ground below.

"Do you have…" Kagome asked.

"Amnesia," Sesshoumaru interrupted, "Yes."

With that Kagome released the barrier straining to hold her tears at bay, and let them fall freely.

Sesshoumaru stared at the woman that was crying, he felt a tinge of guilt, and an instinct told him to gather her up in his arms and try to comfort her. 'Who is this woman?' Kept racing through his mind. She seemed familiar, and the moment he saw her, his body immediately became happy even though he was in this predicament. 'How can a woman I don't even remember make me feel this way?' He thought.

Kagome reached up and tried to stop her tears. 'What did I do to deserve this? I fall in love with him, and then I'm told he is dead, and then when I see him again, he doesn't remember me. What god? What?' Kagome thought as her legs collapsed beneath her, and she crumbled to the ground in a broken heap.

Well I will go down with this ship

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love and always will be

I know I left to much mess and destruction to come back again

And I caused nothing but trouble

I understand if you can't talk to me again

Sesshoumaru kneeled before her. "How did we meet and when? How is it that even though I can't remember anything, my body seems to recognize you? How come I feel like I want to hold you, comfort you?" Sesshoumaru asked, confusion glossing over his eyes.

"We met at a diner, where you were to be picked up to be sent to a camp in California to go to war at Vietnam. You came in and sat over in one of the booths by the window. And you asked me when I came to take your order, if I would go talk to you, since you weren't in the best of moods. And I agreed, and soon we were down on the dock talking, and you asked if we could write to each other, and I agreed. So…"

"Kagome, you know talking to yourself isn't good right?" Sango asked as she walked over without looking at her friend, busy licking her ice cream that she just bought. (She saw a stand and ran for it). Sango then looked down at her friend, "Kagome? Are you okay?"

Sesshoumaru's head jerked up when the other woman's voice rang. His annoyance at the young woman interrupting the one in front of him showing in his eyes.

Kagome looked up at her best friend, "Sango," Kagome whispered.

"What did you do to her, you bastard?" Sango yelled, seeming to jump to conclusions that the strange man in front of her best friend was trying to hurt Kagome.

"Sango," Kagome said again, trying to get her attention. "This is, Sesshoumaru."

"You mean…?" Sango said

"Yes," Kagome answered simply.

"Well I better be going then, I'll see you later, Kags," Sango said backing away, and then turning around and racing out of the park.

The silence in the park resumed, and a bird came and landed nearby and started to try and pick a fallen sakura flower apart. Sesshoumaru watched Kagome as she stared at the bird.

And if you live by the rules of 'it's over'

Then I'm sure that that makes sense

Well I will go down with this ship

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love and always will be

And when we meet, I'm sure we will

All that was there, will be there still

I'll let it pass, and hold my tongue

And you will think that I've moved on

"Is that all?" Sesshoumaru asked quietly.

"We wrote each other all the time after that, until I got one saying that you wouldn't be able to writ to me for awhile, and you told me not to worry. Next thing I know, I went to a football game with my sister, and they started announcing the local people that had died at Vietnam, and your name was called. And now I'm sitting here talking to you, and you don't remember me," Kagome said, more tears slowly falling down her face at the mention of his supposed death.

Sesshoumaru reached his arms up, and wrapped his arms around the crying woman in front of him, pulling her closer. He started rocking her slowly, hoping to god that his efforts to comfort her were not in vain. "It'll be okay," Sesshoumaru whispered into her hair.

"How do you know?" Kagome asked, pulling her head back from his chest to look up at him.

Sesshoumaru looked down into her bright blue eyes, "The doctors told me I may not stay this way, I may start to remember things slowly," He said.

Kagome's eyes brightened a fraction, "They did?"

"Yes. I just have to associate myself with things I used to do," Sesshoumaru said.

"Well, we can do that!" Kagome exclaimed.

"Problem though, I don't remember what I used to do…" Sesshoumaru said slowly.

Kagome sighed and lay her head back on his chest, "I could take you to the diner, and to the dock we talked at." Kagome said.

"Would you?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Yes, when do you want to go?"

"Now?" Sesshoumaru asked, "I want to get my memories back as soon as I possibly can."

Kagome giggled as he stood up and pulled her up with him, "Then on we go!" Kagome exclaimed, stretching her arm out in the direction that was supposedly the dinner.

I will go down with this ship

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love and always will be

Kagome interloped her's and Sesshoumaru's arms and started walking toward the diner.

"We're walking?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"It's not that long of a walk," Kagome said.

I will go down with this ship

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love and always will be

"If you say so," Sesshoumaru answered.

The wind picked up a little more, making loose flowers from the trees above start to fall around them, as their hair blew along in the wind with the flowers.

I will go down with this ship

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

Sesshoumaru suddenly paused.

Kagome stopped when she felt him stop and looked up at him in confusion. "Why…?" She asked before Sesshoumaru interrupted her.

All of a sudden, Sesshoumaru's lips were on hers, and just as soon as they were there, they were gone.

"What?" Kagome asked.

"I don't know, I felt like trying it," Sesshoumaru said sheepishly.

Kagome smiled and got up on her tiptoes and kissed him back.

I'm in love and always will be.
