Chapter One

The Case

The last rays of sunlight had just touched the girl's body as she wake. The bleeping sounds of the machines were almost unbearable. A young boy and a middle-aged woman sat beside the girl's hospital bed. The gentle spring breeze could be felt through an open window. The girl's bright blue eyes flew across the room searching for some answer in her surroundings.

"Mama? Where is this?" The girl hesitantly asked the older women.

"Kagome!" The women flew towards her daughter for an embrace.

The young boy quickly followed suit with a shrill cry. "I'm so so sorry nee-chan." The child wailed.

The blue eyed girl reached up to wipe away his tears. Then she calmly asked, "What's wrong Souta?"

The women began to look very concerned. "Kagome? Don't you remember? You fell in the well after chasing Buyo. I've always told you not to go near it! And look what happened! Why didn't either of you listen to me?"

"Wait, what?" a frown clouded the girl's gentle face. "What day is it?" she asked hesitantly as if the very thought of an answer terrified her.

"It's the day after your birthday nee-chan. The doctors said you were lucky not to have gotten hurt worse."

"No . . . no No NO!" The girl began to hyperventilate and curl into herself. She began to shout and scream "It's not possible! No! No! They can't be gone! Why? Why don't you remember?"

The girl vaguely heard her mother send the boy for a doctor. Her last few memories played over and over again in her mind like a broken record.

It was all gone. What do you do when your life, friends, family, skills, knowledge . . . was all changed? This Girl's past was completely erased from the world. And no one would ever remember the truth. How would that feel? To look around and know that you are absolutely alone for all eternity? Now enough with that. It's about time we started the story. People meeting when then new should have. I guess we can call that Heaven's Mistake~

Nine Years later

I placed the bowls of ramen before my "friends". Well they were pretty stange sometimes but at the very least they weren't bad. I could at least tell that much. Min-san's shop had been busy as usual this afternoon and the others were moping about in the back again. They were all complaining about the lack of a case, which was rather unusual for them

"Excuse me?" I turned around to find a woman who looked to be in her mid-forties. Her cloths were well kept and neat but I could also see that she looked very tired.

"Yes?" I responded politely. She didn't look like a regular customer. She had the appearance of a typical house wife and mother.

"I had heard from a friend of mine that a detective lives here. Could you point me in the right direction? The Shop owner said that the people back here could." She had no sooner finished than the other sprang up behind me.

"A Case! Finally!" Tetsu-san shouted.

"Let's go Lt. Fujishima!" Major joined in as he attempted to drag me up the stairs. I mentally sighed knowing this would be a long day.

Hiro-san offered the women his arm and pointed to each of us in turn. "My name is Hiro, it's a pleasure to meet you." Then he said off handed, "The big one there is Tetsu, the one with the military gear is called Major. (lol no one knows his real name =) ) And the normal looking guy is Narumi" he said as he pointed to me.

I really wished they would stop giving me nick names and calling me unassuming. But then again, for the longest time I was a single dot. (Understand what he means? No? Too bad watch the show)

"Now if would allow me?" Hiro-san gently took her arm and led her up the the stairs. The very picture of a gentleman. (Note the sarcasm -.-)

Major was dragging me along with them. Min-san and Ayaka were going to yell at me later. Min-san could really be terrifying sometimes. Then again despite everything I did appreciate the chance to help people and Alice. And the others were nice.

As we approached her room Tetsu-san began to sing. "Our first client in three weeks!"

But Hiro-san quickly scolded him. "Not in front of the lady Tetsu." I paid no attention as Hiro-san went to flatter the woman. Well mostly nice.

Major opened the door to Alice's room. "After you ma'am." He said with a slight bow. As we entered I felt the familiar draft you cold air. The gentle hum of the air conditioner and computers in the dark room. All of this no longer surprised me. I had known the Hermit for a while now and was not surprised at her cry.

"Narumi!" Alice wailed. "I want a Dokupe!" Sighing went to get one out of the back of the fried. Yeah Alice was very particular. I was starting to think it was the only thing she ever drank.

"Young women that's not very nice. You should always ask first. Also couldn't you get one yourself? And . . . Ohh my look at the state of this place! Where are your parents?" the women chided.

Alice stood up on the bed and spread her arms out. Great, just great she was about to start another rant. "My name is Alice. I'm a NEET Detective. As for your previous question. Do my arms look long enough to reach the fridge? There is nothing wrong with me MY room. If something offends you take it up with Ayaka and Narumi." Alice fell gently back down. I could practically feel the annoyance coming off of her.

She addressed the women with a calm manner. "Now I've answered you questions. Who are you to ask such things to me? And what brings you here to disrupt my isolation?"

"My Name is Higurashi Nodoka." The women answered calmly though she still looked like she wanted to scold Alice. "You're the detective?" she asked in disbelief.

Alice pouted slightly before rising and throwing out her arms again. On her cue the dozen computers Alice used for work sprung to life. (Seriously I want to know how she can cue the computers) "I'm no ordinary Detective. I'm a NEET Detective! I solve cases without ever stepping outside this room! The Difference can be likened to that of the all-encompassing sky and the earth!"

Higurashi-san sighed and spoke. I could tell she wasn't very impressed by Alice. And that was slightly odd normally most people were very fascinated by her. "Well its seems I have no choice. You are my last hope."

Hiro-san pulled up a chair for Higurashi-san as she began her tale. "I live on the Higurashi shrine not far from here with my Father-in-law and My son. My daughter Higurashi Kagome lives alone."

"Your husband?" Alice interrupted.

Higurashi-san sighed. "My Husband died in an accident 14 years ago. But that's not why I'm here today." She leaned forward towards Alice. "Please it's my daughter. . . I just don't know what to do anymore!"

"I don't have the qualifications to advise you on social matters." Alice said flatly. I could hear the others snickering in the background. So much for the new case.

"It's not that, it's just. . . I'll be frank. My daughter, Kagome has been acting completely different ever since her 15th birthday. It's very unsettling. I can't even say I know her anymore. . ." Higurashi-san trailed off as we heard the door open.

"Yo Narumi! I need your help." The Forth greeted. I sighed his men had probably wrecked the computer again. Really, no matter how many times I told them to avoid THAT kind of website they just kept going back.

"No, no. Narumi is helping me today!" Alice huffed "Who else is going to get me Dokupe and ramen from the master?" Oh great now Alice was pouting before the women.

Souichiro-san put his hand behind his head and looked towards Higurashi-san. "Oh you've got a client. It's fine I can wait." Sou-san proceeded to lean against the wall and watch the rest of us.

Alice nodded sagely and motioned for Higurashi-san to continue. "As I was saying my daughter has behaved different for the past nine years ever since her 15th birthday."

"If it's been nine years her behavior couldn't be considered normal?" Major questioned.

Higurashi-san glared at him. "If it were a gradual change I could understand, but it wasn't. My daughter was a very bright and friendly young lady. The day of her birthday she fell into the well on our property. Kagome was only out a day, and the doctors said there was no residual damage. However when she woke, well she began acting odd."

"At first she was hysterical. She yelled and screamed, then she lapsed into a deep state of depression. I took her to several well-known doctors and phycologists, but none of them could figure out what was wrong. After a few months she stopped sulking, but she was never the same. She was frightfully bitter and as should be expected all of her previous friends moved on. And then there were the weirder occurrences."

"Like what? I can't help if you don't tell me everything." Alice said.

"Well, sometimes I caught her talking when no one was there. Other times she would get angry or scared for no reason at all. When she lived at home she kept odd hours, I hardly ever knew where she was. There were times when she came home injured too. She began to practice archery and martial arts in the morning! She shouldn't have even touched a bow before, much less learn how to fight."

"Then she gets accepted into a great college as a 'protégé'. Despite my instance she chose a career in history and now works at the Metropolitan Museum." By now her tone had turned very bitter.

"Just what went wrong? Just what happened to her?" she looked up towards Alice. "I want to know. That is my request. Find out what happened to change my daughter. You're my last hope I just want my normal daughter back."

I couldn't help but notice how the word normal was stained, and apparently so did Alice. "Normal? What is classified as normal for you Higurashi Nodoka? The answers I find may not be what you want to hear. Even then will you listen? No matter the outcome?" Alice asked.

"Yes, I promise."

"Very well then." Alice decided. "I accept your case! Hiro please escort Higurashi Nodoka home. As it will be dark soon. Major and Tetsu begin surveillance and investigation!"

I watched as they left the room. Higurashi-san complained about them watching her daughter lightly but otherwise was silent. After they had left I confronted Alice.

"Alice?" I could tell that this case was already bothering her. It wasn't the type of case we normally took on.

"This could prove difficult indeed Narumi. Nine years ago? For anyone other than myself retrieving such information might be impossible. The dead won't speak in this case. Instead I must find the words that the living have concealed. I haven't encountered this type of case before. Nor have I ever heard of such a thing on all my data bases." Alice trailed off lost in her own thoughts.

"Narumi?" Sou-san's voice called out. I'd forgotten he was there. (So did I, lol and he's a main character) "After you finish here come to my place. The idiots have managed to wreck the computer again." And with that Sou-san turned and left as well.

"You heard the fourth, Narumi. Also don't forget to give Master my usual order." I smiled. Same old Alice. Despite the oddity of the case it seemed like we were off to a good start. It didn't have high stakes like our previous ones.

Ohhh how wrong we were. There were very few beings as full of secrets and despair as

Higurashi Kagome

So how was it? It probably won't be updated regularly, but man does it feel good to write again. I eagerly await your comments and criticism. Until next time =)
