Author's note: I would like to thank Midnight Melody for all of her help and encouraging me to write this. It's only the prologue! No, the only character I own is Lynnette!
Kagome had appeared panicked when she had left the feudal era. She hadn't even bothered to say goodbye to Inuyasha before jumping into the well that would lead Kagome back to her own time.
That had been three days ago, and Kagome still hadn't returned yet.
Damnit, where is she? Inuyasha cursed silently as he paced in front of the Sacred Well. Kagome left for her world without any warning. She didn't even tell me when she was coming back… that does it ! If she's not back by tomorrow, I'm going to go there and bring her back!
To be fair, Inuyasha did hold out until about noon before his impatience got the better of him. Storming to the well, Inuyasha couldn't take the waiting any longer and he jumped in.
Fully intending to yell at Kagome for staying away for so long, he was surprised to find that no one was there except for Kagome's mother, Mrs. Higurashi. She looked happy to see him though when he walked in.
"Hello Inuyasha. Kagome's not here right now."
"Do you know where she is?"
"She's at the hospital right now visiting her friend. You can wait in her room if you'd like."
"Thanks." Inuyasha replied as he headed to Kagome's room.
Three hours later Kagome was home and treaded dully up to her room, her lively chocolate brown eyes were dim and lifeless. To Inuyasha's nose, Kagome reeked of sickness, death and disinfectant.
"Kagome! What's wrong? Why do you smell of sickness?" Inuyasha cried out in surprise.
"Not now Inuyasha, I'll explain later." Even her voice sounded lifeless as she walked on over to her bed and fell into it, ignoring the thud of her journal falling open off the bed before sleep ambushed her.
Inuyasha bent down to pick up the book and put it on the nightstand, but when his eyes fell upon the words dated the night she came back, he stopped dead in his tracks.
She's dying.
I can't believe this. It feels like everything that I've been doing in the Feudal Era has just been a complete waste of time! Why Lynnette? Hasn't she suffered enough? I'm supposed to be a Priestess Damnit! So why am I forced to sit there helplessly watching her waste away?
Keep in mind, she's not exactly the normal weight for our age… but I've never seen her this thin before. Already she's down to 54 pounds, and she only weighed 83 pounds to begin with! I think that her will so now the only thing that is keeping her alive at this moment.
At this point, I almost wish I could talk to Kikyou. Granted, I don't like her, but if any of the knowledge she has could help, I would gladly hog tie Inuyasha up and give him to her. Not that I'd be forced to do that…
Inuyasha is going to be so pissed at me, but at this point, I don't care. I've spent way too much time in the Feudal Era as it is (I've got a stack of homework higher than my head, and the baka hasn't once thanked me!).
Besides I can't leave her now. I'm all she's got left. Her family kicked her out, and most of her other friends have either abandoned her or are too far away to come visit.
Believe it or not, she's my only friend in this Era. Yeah, I'm popular at school, but I can't talk to those girls the way I talk to her.
She already knows about the feudal era, cause I told her all about it. She was very interested… I could almost see the wheels turning as she took notes.
Something tells me that this is somehow going to turn into a novel. If this is indeed the case, then the very least I can do is to let her see it with her own eyes. She deserves to see this, no matter what anybody else thinks.
Inuyasha dropped the book in surprise, staring at Kagome's sleeping form. Bringing someone terminally ill when Naraku was still on the loose was anything but a smart idea.
What in the hell was Kagome thinking!
