"Kagome, darling, get ready for school! You'll be late, and it's your first day back!"

Kagome stood looking out the window at the huge tree outside. She was already done getting dressed, as she had woken early in the morning. It was him again, the strange man with the haunting eyes and fangs. His ears and silver hair... his red kimono... they where all branded in her mind. He wouldn't leave her alone.

Once again she had dreamed of him, a slightly different version than the last. He had stood over her with a huge sword- She somehow knew it was actually a fang, her mind seemed to always correct her on that for some reason- and protected her from monsters. But again, at the end, when he had turned to her all bloody, he had said the same thing. "You left me."

Kagome shook herself from her thoughts and walked downstaris.

"Oh." Her mouther said with a smile. "Your up early. And dressed. Here's your lunch."

"Mom... do I know anyone..." Would she sound crazy?
"What is it? You can ask me, I won't laugh."

She could chance it. "Do I know anyone with long silver hair?"

"Huh?"

"Long silver hair and golden eyes." She wouldn't mention any other traits, that would sound really crazy...

"Well, I don't think so. Why do you ask?"

"Oh, it's nothing." She waved away the question with a fake smile. She took the lunch her mom had prepared her and started for the door. "Bye mom!"

"Bye Kagome, see you tonight."

All hope crushed, Kagome made her way down to the road. Half way across the shrine grounds she stopped, and stood stock still for a moment. Slowly she turned her head to the side, and stared at the well house.

She knew she wasn't supposed to go in there but... she had to. She didn't even know why, but she had to. She slowly moved toward the well house, and then stopped right at the doors. She reached out with a trembling hand and slowly slid the door open.

The well house was as creepy as she would have imagined it, but somehow she wasn't frightened of it. Slowly she made her way down to the ground, which was littered with bones. The well was covered by a plank of wood and a couple little charms to keep away demons.

Somehow, she doubted they could work.

She timidly opened the cover, and looked down the well. It was dry, as she knew it was, and at the bottom where the remains of a demon. She did not know how she knew the bones belonged to a demon. She just... did.

The sudden urge to jump in the well overcame her, an urge so strong that she couldn't resist. She carefully climbed over the side and sat with her legs dangling over the edge.

"Here goes nothing." She muttered, even though she really felt like something would happen. Hell, not felt. She knew something would happen.

She pushed of the side and fell down quickly, not making any sound.

And then her feet hit solid dirt.

That wasn't right.

All logic in her mind was telling her that was how it should be. Her feet should meet with solid ground. But every fiber of her being was screaming at her, telling her she should have passed through. To where?

She had thought it would take her to the silver haired man.

She will not be able to pass through, nor remember, so long as this crystal remains intact! The words danced through her head, in a deep hissing voice she didn't know.

In that moment, the overwhelming feeling of homesickness and loneliness overcame her. She crouched on the hard cold bottom of the well and put a hand on her aching heart, wishing away the pain. Of course, with her eyes scrunched closed, images flitting about her mind. All of them holding the man with the captivating golden eyes, and the long star-light hair. She missed him terribly.

"And I can't even remember his name."

A single tear slipped past her eyelid, closely followed by another. Soon she was outright crying as she sat alone at the bottom of the well.

"Come and get me. Bring me back." She whimpered, not even knowing what she was saying.

No one answered.

And now if she did not hurry she would be late for school.

Inuyasha's feet touched the bottom of the well for the fith time, and yet again he was not able to pass through. "Goddamn it!" He yelled. He hopped out and ran back to the village, and into Keade's hut.

"Sango, how is the crystal coming?"

She looked up from her work and sighed. "I don't know Inuyasha. It could be a while longer."

"How long?"

"Days, maybe weeks. I don't know!"

"You don't know! What do you mean you don't know! We need to get Kagome back now!"

Miroku stepped into the hut just then, trailed by Shippo. The monk looked up at Inuyasha and frowned. "Patience, Inuyasha. She does not even remember you, or any of us. She is not suffering, so calm down."

"Keh, I'm not worried! I just want my shard detector back is all!" Of course he knew, as all of them knew, this was not true. He wanted Kagome back, and he wanted her right that moment.

He also knew, as the others didn't, that she was in fact suffering. He didn't know how come she was, but he could feel it. He just knew it, in his heart.

As corny as that sounded, it was true.

He hated it when she was in pain. He wanted her to be okay, right then and there, and in his arms once more.

Kagome walked through school in a daze. She hardly payed any attention, only spoke when it was necessary, and at lunch hardly touched her food.

Eri was the first to pick up on this. "Kagome-chan, are you okay?"
"Huh?" The miko had been staring off into space, once again not listening.

"Are you alright?"

She looked back down at her picked-at food. "Yeah. I'm fine."

"You don't seem fine." Yuka interjected.

"Well I am, okay?"

"Please, Kagome, tell us whats wrong. We can tell somethings up." Ayumi said softly.

Kagome sighed. "Well, I might sound crazy but..."

"But?"

"I... There..." she sighed. "There's this... guy. And I know I know him but..."

"But what Kagome?" Eri asked. "Just spit it out."

"I don't."

"Don't what?"

"I know him, but I don't."

"What?"

She bit her lip. "It's hard to explain."

"Tell us."

"I'm having these dreams."

"Dreams?"

"Yeah, about this guy. And the weird thing is I know him. But... I don't."

"You lost me."

She bit her lip again, and twisted a lock of hair around her finger. "I know everything about him. His favorite color is red, he likes to fight, he had a really bad childhood, his mother and father are dead, he has a bastard brother, and he's very powerful. Those are just off the top of my head, too."

"Okay, but what's so weird about that?" Ayumi asked.

"I don't know how I know him, his name, where he lives, if he's even alive-"

"If he's alive?"

"Yes. If he... even exists in the first place."

Yuka looked really confused, but was still with her. "Go on."

"Well, I dream about him all the time. But when I mentioned him to my mom, she said she didn't know anybody like him. And I feel like I've known him for years. Like I've spent years with him."

"And you can't even remember his name?"

"No."

"Well describe him to us." Eri said. "Maybe we'll know him."

"He has the most amazing golden eyes." She started, already getting that far-away look in her eyes. "His hair is longer than mine, and this really beautiful silver color."

"Woah."

"What?"

They where all looking at her strangely.

"What?"

The three girls shaded on of those eye conversations, where you just look at each other, and then nodded. It was Eri who spoke. "Girl, you've got it bad."

"Got what?" Now Kagome was getting a little irritated.

"You're in love with this guy, whoever he is." Yuka added.

De ja vu. "I... I do?"

Ayumi nodded. "Yeah, it's written all over your face."

"It is?"

"We need to find this guy."

She sighed. "That's just it."

"What's just it?"

"I know he's not from around here. He lives far, far away. I don't no where. I do know it's not here."

"Why is that?"

She hesitated a moment. "Because... the only place I can recall him is in a thick forest. We don't have any of those around here."

"Oh. Well..." Eri was looking nervously at her food.
Kagome easily read the look. "You don't think he's real."

Now that she looked at the rest of the table, she realized nobody did.

"Okay. Let's just forget I ever brought it up, alright? It was just a dream." And then she left.
