' Careful Of The Answers You Seek, You Just Might Find Them...'

Thrown awake from sleep by it's unknown return , coming from somewhere inside since she was young , and waking her once again with the sounds of the racket inside her head. The fiery burnette tossed her crimson blankets ,frustratedly away from herself, as the autumn chill blew to carress it's brisk embrace around her from the crack of her window, then since she knew that they wouldn't let her back to sleep went to gather the things to ready for school. It wasn't something she could tell to shuddup or anything , although she's tried , but now because of what they were, something intangible and only existing through her she defeatedly fought to try to live alongside them , next to the whispers, instead of trying to get along with them.

They only seemed to exist in a mindframe of there own , and conversation was a swirling blurr of noise , not that she understood what they were saying , only that they were there , and louder did the annoying whispering sound get if she would fight them to stop by drowning them out by other means , as they would only adjust to be that much more annoying .It was like they wanted her to hear it but she couldn't understand anything of what they were saying .. So over time starting not long after since she was about fifteen the young woman just learned to live with them , acknowledging them but from the back of her mind so she could concentrate on much more important things , such as studying, friends ,and the last one when the voices wouldn't seem to overwhelm her :boys.

Once dressed in her college uniform of a pleated shirt , blouse with bolo-tie , pennyloafers , and dresscoat simular to her prior school years ,only different coloring ,plus adding a coat , Kagome looked in the mirror to gaze at her work. Kagome then whipped her hair to the side as she searched for her favorite red brush quickly , and headed downstairs, putting her brush inside her bag as she went to grab a bite . Grining at her mother , and Souta , then finding as she looked at the empty seat , her smile faded somewhat , as she thought of who should be there but was not . It was her grandfather.

Grandpa had passed away sometime ago , it was about the time of her almost 18th birthday that he passed , and now being in her early twenties , she can still smell the same scent that faded long with him , so long ago. But he was getting up in years as he had then left this world , as now as it be Kagome stood next in line to be trained in his duties as a Miko , like he was a priest . So with that in mind the young woman chose to remain on the shrine since that of her 16th birthday to live in her grandfathers footsteps , except for the oblivious crazy talk anyway.

Popping the last of the riceballs inside her mouth , Kagome then stood , rinsed of her plate , and then headed out before she missed the ride towards the subway to the college she attended. A honk outside blared it's knowing presence when the rumbling of a exhausted motor came pulling up the drive. The smirk that grew on her face then as to her excitement of getting started with her day , then skipped along towards the door, walking outside , and meeting Hojo , along with other their friends outside. Jumping happily to leap into the car to squeeze in with the others was a smll but fun feet in Hojo's Bug .

As soon as they were all in with her legs straddling before the stick of the vehicle , Hojo then pulled out towards their destination, as he do so without trying to brush his hand ever so lightly across her bare thighs, trying being the primary word. Although everytime he did , Hojo never forgot to place a contorted wince upon the embarrased Kagome , as the small space they were stuck in couldn't avoid it where she was placed, but it couldn't be ignored either of the end result of him knowing what he did for it showed in his own embarrassment , as the tent within apart of his pants ,became extremely noticeable.

Kagome soon found that once they pulled in front of the entrnace to the subway , but not yet parked , as she couldn't stand to handle what was occuring any longer had then told Hojo to stop, then jumped out waiting for them to join her. Against Kagome's mind not to like Hojo in that fashion , because truely she had only seen him as a friend ,but that didn't stop her bodies reaction to what she felt when his hand ghosted over her bare thighs , and the shivering throb that also began to pool between her legs was proof that today her body was going to be a pain ..

Allowing the cool breeze chase off the blazing heat that still trailed along down her back , as her eyes took in the sight of Hojo , and her friends coming to meet her in front, so that they could them go with their things for the start of their college carrers , as they went to turn in their tickets, then getting in their seats. Though as soon as she was forced back in her seat , while the trail car began roughly moving fowards in a jerky motion something happened.

It seemed that now to the whispers to make themselves known once again , as the silence hummed all around her to what was occuring on the outside , trailed in short by the sudden weightlessness , followed by the expectant dizziness came , and then nothing ,but the voices whispering in tones ,or that of speech ,that like before she wasn't accustomed to before them , in a swiling blurr of sound as she did like the others , closing her eyes , listening .

At first they seemed unclear like the other times past , but then it seems as though one spoke from them out of the masses of tangled fragments of sound , but strangely enough, as she didn't have a clue to who spoke it, though someone said something , it was a name , and scary still . It was hers.

"Ka Go Me " Was spoken , no screamed, brokenly , but fluidly at the same time , as each syllable was voiced as smooth as silk, and seemingly on top of the lungs of a woman ..

A woman that it was certain that she never met , but the voice seemed it believe otherwise judging by the hurt of its sound , as it screamed for something from her , but what , and who was she exactly..It was the first time that any of the voices really spoken to her , as they seemed to only involve themselves before, and settling with her as a mere listener.. Now all of a sudden one of them was reaching out for her , after all this time , or maybe this was the first time one of them got to her, either case she wondered what exactly was it that they wanted her to know, or to do..

' Why do I get these feelings toward this person I don't even know , but somehow deep inside I am getting the inkling that I should ..'

Authors Note : FYI – Just so you all know who are reading this , No. Kagome isn't inside the jewel , she is truely living with her family on the shrine , in present day Tokyo ..Though yes , indeed . Something , by reading this, is happening , and in the ways that are occuring are somewhat out of place , but I don't want to give any spoilers as of yet to what's happening , at least not yet. No , this is not a love story between Kagome and the wimpy Hojo , though like this chapter they do have some pretty steamy altercations , but thats just hormones for ya. This was a idea I had , that as I read other great stories hasn't been done yet , so I took a chance and to see where it takes me .
