Chapter 1

Kagome checked to see if she had everything. Knowing that she did, she jumped into the well. She had finally talked her mother into letting her go back to the Feudal Era. Ever since the accident, her mother barely let her out of the house.

Kagome had been gone from the Feudal Era for two weeks. On the second day she had been on the train going to the high school. Something had gone wrong and the train had derailed. She had been thrown against the wall and knocked unconscious.

Latter, upon waking up in the hospital she opened her eyes to find only darkness. The Doctors explained that when she had hit her head the trama had damaged her retinas. They had tried to operate but there was nothing they were able to do. She was permanently blind.

Her mother had taken her home from the hospital a day later, and during the rest of her time home she had grown used to being blind. Now that the two weeks were up she felt like she could return to the past.

She found the vine in the well and started to climb. She hadn't told her mother, but ever since the accident, she felt different. Not just from being blind. But she felt stronger; she could hear better and she had started to feel things about people. She couldn't understand what was going on.

She finally made it out of the well. Breathing heavily she sat down. She didn't know how to approach the others. Although the strange things that were happening to her made it to where she knew where things were, she didn't know how to tell them that she was blind.

It wasn't something that she could just go up and declare "Well guess what? I'm blind." No, she couldn't do that. It just wasn't nice to them and it would hurt her even more to do it that way. She tried to think of a plan of how to tell them. Perhaps she would walk into a wall or something and then they would have to ask why she did it.

She felt somebody come her way. She breathed, it was InuYasha. Kagome didn't know how, but she knew it was him she could just tell by his presence.

He walked towards her as she kept her eyes hidden. "Good. You're here wench. I was just about to come and get you. You're late." he said. She felt his gaze still on her but ignored it. She took a deep breath. Standing up, she took the cane that her mother demanded that she keep with her. She had fought it until it occurred to her that she could use it to her advantage in a fight.

She started to walk, moving the cane back and forth. As she did, she listened to the sound she made. InuYasha didn't move, he kept watching her. Finally he spoke again, "Kagome why do you have a stick?"

"It helps me know where things are," she replied. As she did, she turned around and lifted her eyes so he could see.

Kagome heard him gasp. She could almost picture his expression as he moved closer to him. She felt something move up to her face. It was his hand he waved it in front of her a couple of times to see if her eyes would respond.

InuYasha's pov:

InuYasha was shocked at what he saw at the well. He had come to get Kagome to only find that she was already there. That was odd. If she was late he always had to go get her. "That wasn't the only reason that you go," his mind said. "You go because you miss her so much when she's gone."

It didn't matter either way because she was there. He could tell something was wrong the moment he saw her. She was sitting on the well; her back pack was on the ground and her head was down. What even shocked him more was how she didn't reply to his first statement. She just stood up and took a stick and started moving it back and forth as she walked.

"Kagome why do you have a stick?" he asked curiously. Maybe the stick had something to do with what was wrong with her.

"It helps me know where things are," she replied in a monotone voice. That was when he saw it. Her eyes. Her beautiful chocolate, brown, eyes that he could always get lost in where sightless. They had a slight ring over them and they looked at nothing in particular. He couldn't help himself; he raised his arm toward her and waved his hand in front of her face. She didn't respond. He smelled the sent of despair on her.

He stated the obvious, "You can't see." Kagome sighed; her face went back to facing the ground.

"No I can't see. When I was home I got into an accident and hit my head really hard." She took his hand out of the air and placed it onto a place on her head. He felt a cut that was stitched up.

He couldn't believe it. Kagome, his Kagome was hurt. She was hurt so badly that she had lost her sight and it was because he wasn't there to protect her. He drew her into his arms making a promise to himself that something like this would never happen to her again. She hugged him back and he felt something wet and smelled salt on his outer haori. His response was to hold her tighter.

After a good cry InuYasha heard Kagome say, " InuYasha, ever since the accident, weird things have been happening to me. I don't know how to explain it, but I feel so different."

"Let's go talk to Kaede about it." He pulled her into his arms bridal style and started for the village.
