Chapter One: Cruel Awakening

Description:

What if Kagome never went back in time to the feudal era? What if on the day of her 15th birthday she did fall down the well but only fell into a coma and everything that happened was only a dream. She awakes and discovers everyone she had thought was in the past were just people she had met in passing. Follow along as she rebuilds her relationships, goes through ups and downs and discovers things in this age are not all as they seem.

'It's so dark. what's going on? Where am I?' Kagome wondered. She turned in circles looking into the dark abyss.

"Inuyasha? Shippo? Sango? Miroku? Where are you guys?" She shouted but no response came. She was alone. It was cold in the darkness. She sat down curling her knee's into her chest as she allowed tears to slip from her eyes.

'Why am I here? Where did everyone go?' Her forehead rested on her knee's, at a loss for what to do.

"Kagome."

Her head shot up hearing a voice echo in the distance.

"Kagome."

She heard it again. It was getting louder. The voice sounded so familiar.

"Kagome."

She did know that voice, it was her mother! She stood and began running to the sound.

"Mom? Mom where are you?!"

She yelled as she ran. It was getting lighter. She ran as fast as her legs could carry her towards the warm light and her mothers comforting voice.

"Kagome, dear can you hear me?"

Her voice was so close now. The light was getting brighter, hotter, so much so that kagome had to sheild her eyes.

"Mom!"

She stopped running and threw her arms in front of her face. The hot light kept advancing on her. Soon the light overtook her and she passed out from the intensity.

"Kagome. Wake up please."

Her mothers voice was next to her. Her eyes were closed and she could hear everything around her. She heard a beeping to her left along with someones breathing, her mothers voice came from her right. There was a hand holding her right one gently, she felt the softness of the bed beneath her. She slowly cracked her eyelids and quickly shut them again from the blinding light above her. She blinked a few times until her vision adjusted and took in her surroundings. The beep was coming from the heart monitor that was attached to her left arm. Sota was sitting in a chair next to it looking at her through wide, water eyes. Kagome turned her head to look at her mother who sat on the edge of the bed holding her hand, her eyes were also brimming with tears.

"M-mom?" Kagome's voice came out cracked and weak and she noted how dry her throat was. Mrs. Higurashi reached up smoothing her hand across kagome's forehead.

"Shh dear don't speak. Let me go get you something to drink first." Kagome nodded as her mother moved to leave the room. She turned to look at sota.

"Hey sis..." His little voice cracked and tears rolled down his cheeks. "... I'm so glad your finally awake."

She gave him a questioning look but her mother returned at that moment with water. Smiling she took the cup chugging the liquid down quickly. She set the cup aside and took a deep breath.

"Mama?" Her voice didn't crack this time. She continued on.

"Why am I in the hospital?"

She asked the first question that came. Her mothers brow furrowed and she bit her lip.

"You don't remember?" Mrs. Higurashi asked and she shook her head. "You hit your head falling into the well. You've been in a coma for a month and a half."

Kagome's eyes widened. She had been out for a month and a half? Her friends in the feudal era must be wondering where she's been all this time. Inuyasha!

"Wheres inuyasha?"

She looked around. He would normally be right by her if anything happened. Maybe he had to go back to take care of something.

"Who's inuyasha?" Sota asked, eyebrows scrunched.

"Sota you know inuyasha." She looked to her mother and saw the questioning look in her face.

"Oh come on you've known him for years. White hair, dog ears, wears a red kimono and carries a sword and has a huge ego. Don't look at me like that!"

She look back and forth between her brother and mother as they looked at her like she was crazy.

"Sweetie what are you talking about? We don't know anyone like that. Are you feeling alright?" Her mother put her hand to her forehead. Kagome's jaw dropped. What exactly was going on here? Why didn't they remember inuyasha? Her mothers voice was unheard as she was lost in her own thoughts. Her stomach dropped as a though struck her. She looked to her mother.

"What's today's date?"

She received another strange look.

"November 12th. Why?" Her heart dropped and tears stung her eyes. Mrs. Higurashi jumped to her side in alarm.

"What's wrong? Does anything hurt?"

Kagome shook her head and bit her lip.

"No it's just..." She couldn't finish the thought.

"It's just what dear?"

Kagome looked into her concerned mother's face before throwing herself into her arms.

"I-It was all a dream. Only a d-dream..." Was all she said as she cried herself to sleep in her mothers arms.

So this is just a thought my friend and I had and figured why the hell not? Not really sure how this is going to turn out so bare with me on this one. I promise im working on my other stories I just have to re-write everything I lost. I plan on writing a few chapters before I upload them to make up for lost time. Anywho enjoy and please review I live of your words!
