Summary: Amnesia-ridden, Kagome wakes up in a different world with no other recollection than her name. Through the haze of her blurred memories, she feels as though she lacks something crucial. A single memory keeps flashing through her mind; a small, pink stone. Something inside of her demands that she find it, and she will search the entire world to do so if she must.

Pairing: Undecided. Open to suggestions.

Prologue


Nothing but the sound of the river behind her could be heard as she teetered in and out of the realm of consciousness.

She was cold. Freezing cold and beyond what would count as ordinary confusion. Her eyes refused to open, even as the sound of the river grew louder and began to grow more violent. She wasn't awake, but she wasn't quite asleep either. She was in the line right down the middle, but she would not sway to either end. Something kept her from waking completely, and something kept her from losing every last remaining sliver of her consciousness.

When air became difficult for her to get and breathing properly came to be something she could no longer manage, no matter how panicked she would get, she still could not open her eyes.

Cold wetness surrounded her as everything began to turn quiet, and she came to the realization that the river had never been behind her. She had been in it this entire time, not close by it, but she had remained unaware of that up until this point. The water surrounded her and she was soon completely submerged underneath the water's surface.

She couldn't understand anything in that moment. Her mind muddled and she remained unable to form a coherent thought that would give her any reason as to why she was even in the river in the first place. A sharp pain ricocheted through her head and every prior thought she had attempted to string together in her mind faded away, no matter how hard she fought to keep ahold of those words. They slipped from her mind, and she could no longer remember a single word of them.

The cold water surrounding her became a stronger sensation, one that she remained unable to fight to get out of.

Through the pain running through her head, a single thought flitted in her mind during that second before it, too, disappeared like every other one before it. It was the only one she remained able to recall, but it did not remain any better than others.

"Is this it? I'm going to die like this…"

But even that wasn't enough to cause her body to stir into motion. Air was now impossible for her to get, and her body only continued to grow heavier and heavier as she sank to the bottom of the river. She was drug along with the current as though she was nothing more than a tiny rag doll, and she stood no chance against the force of the water around her.

When it felt as though she had reached the bottom she seemed to give up just as her body seemed to have done at an earlier point.

For a brief moment, she was able to force her eyes open. She was able to observe the place she had gotten submerged within for only a few seconds before her blue eyes slid closed once more, her ability to keep them open falling from her control as her head continued to spin in a drowning whirlpool.

how had she even gotten in the river? She couldn't remember taking a fall into anything. No… that wasn't it…

She was unable to remember anything, it seemed.

Those questions did nothing to help her any, and they fled from her mind not long after they had appeared.

It was so quiet…

Black hair fanned out around her as her body settled heavily at the bottom of the river. The breath of air she had been clinging onto so desperately left her lungs when she found herself unable to keep it within her any longer. Following not long after that was what remained of her consciousness.


The shine of the sun against her face caused her to stir from her rest, and when she opened her eyes she was confused… and her clothes soaked through all the way to her skin. She pushed herself up from where she laid, and she glanced around her to try to gather her bearings. She was freezing, and she was unable to fight the shiver crawling up her spine. Without thinking, she wrapped her arms around her, but it did nothing to provide her with any spare warmth.

The splashing of the river behind her caught her attention, and she glanced over her shoulder to stare at it. A second later she looked at her dripping clothing.

"Did I fall into the river?" she questioned herself. Nothing but silence answered her, and she realized that she could not give herself a satisfactory answer. But… if she was covered in water, she should be able to rationalize that she had ended up somehow falling into the river, but she was unable to recall how that had even happened, nor was she able to even remember pulling herself out of the river. A frown appeared on her face, pulling her lips down in a sharp curve, as she clambered up from where she sat. She took a few steps to look around the area she had awoken in, and she ended up becoming even more confused when she found herself having zero recollection of this place at all.

Green trees towered over her, and she stared up at them as she clawed through her mind in a desperate search for any kind of information on where she was. Once that brought nothing to her attention, she swapped her focus of search from where she was. She now scoured through her brain for any sort of information it could provide her with, anything and everything that would keep her from feeling so lost, as she currently felt.

The only thing that revealed to her was a single name.

The only thing she was able to remember was a name; her name.

"I'm Kagome…" she muttered to herself. The only thing she had to enforce that thought was the feeling it left in her chest upon saying that out loud. It felt too right to be false, and she held on tight to that as though it could somehow bring more information to her head. Nothing else followed her recollection of her name, and she turned a worried glance down to her feet. Her vision blurred as tears welled up in her eyes.

Kagome fell forward onto her knees as a feeling of uncertainty flooded through her chest.

What had caused her missing memory, and why could she just remember her name?


Auroua-chan: Initially, this was first thought of for my Pokemon prompt series, and the idea itself turned into something bigger while writing it out.

Pairing…

Alright, first things first- this is meant to take place in the Hoenn Region (ORAS) Also, Kagome's current age is intended to be 18+ (actual age will be revealed later on.) so no one too young.

I'm kinda leaning towards Steven/Kagome, but I have a few others ideas I'm thinking on, so any suggestions will be considered. (Unless it is something I just can't get behind.)

Oh, and before I forget- Pokemon team suggestions for Kagome would be really appreciated! I have two Pokemon I definitely want her to, but other ideas would be great.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoyed! Sorry if there are any errors in the text. I tried to catch them all, but my spellcheck hasn't been helping me as good recently.

Please remember to Review&Favorite&Follow, thanks!

Bye for now~
