Chapter 1: These feelings and memories

"Damn,"

I was trying to pack my things onto the bus, when I cut myself. I got a little queasy at the sight of blood, and I did not want to faint out here.

"What's wrong?" a figure behind me asked. I whirled around but came in contact with ice blue eyes.

"Kouga! You scared me for a moment there," He chuckled and took my hand.

"So what klutzy thing did you do now?" he asked, playfully sounding exasperated. I whacked him with my good hand.

"Just give me the freakin' band-aid," He laughed some more and turned towards the bus.

"Comin' right up, Sis!" He yelled over his shoulder. I smiled and turned around. Kouga wasn't technically my brother, but his family had adopted me. I touched the necklace with the jewel around my neck. My past was a hazy one. The orphanage said I just appeared on their doorstep, with nothing but a note and a necklace. The note read only one word, my name, Kagome. They determined that the necklace was mine, but I didn't get it until I turned sixteen. By then, I had been adopted by Kouga's parents and they were the ones to give it to me.

Overall, I was glad I met their family. They were good people who loved and cherished me. The necklace gave me comfort and often I found myself fingering its pink jewel. Just then, Kouga came out with a box.

"Here's the band-aid you wanted, Kags." He nudged my shoulder with the box. I roughly took it away, earning a frown from Kouga.

"Hey Kouga! Need you here, stat!" Ayame yelled from the other side of the bus. Kouga was also my band's manager. I hit him with my elbow and said,

"Go to your girlfriend, now!" He turned red, but left after the sound of his girlfriend's cry. I laughed at his hurriedness, but turned back to put in my bag. This time it went in nicely. I rounded the side of the bus, and bumped into someone else.

"Watch where you're going," responded an elegant, cold voice. I looked up to meet blue gray eyes.

"Sorry, Kikyo." I mumbled. I walked around her, and she ignored me. I looked over my shoulder and saw her round the corner. Kikyo is actually my older sister. I didn't know about her until she showed up on my doorstep. Kouga was surprised, but he could tell the similarity was too much to say we weren't related. We were almost exactly alike, in looks at least. Most people would compare us to the moon and sun. She was the moon, Calm, collected. Elegant, but cold. She was a natural beauty with her perfect unblemished skin and blue-gray eyes. I was like the sun, shining bright in the day. I was more of an energetic person and I loved to be around people. People say I'm very gregarious and in fact I agree with them. I'm essentially a bright person.

Kikyo was only here with me because she did my finances, (Heaven forbid Kouga try to do math!) The day she appeared she was in dire need of money, so I gave her the job. The girls and I were already on the top best seller's list. We started our band in high school, where I had met all of them.

Suddenly, I heard a small shriek coming from inside the bus. It was Sango! I half-ran toward the door, the first to get there. I went to her room as fast as I could, and wrenched open the door.

"Sango, what's––"

I was cut off by an image that will forever be branded in my mind. There laid Sango, only half clothed, with Miroku on top of her with only boxers on.

"Kagome!"

I shut the door with as much force as I could. I could hear scrambling in the room and the door opened to reveal Sango with a t-shirt that was clearly Miroku's.

"Kagome, I ––"

I held up my hand to stop her. I tried to shake the image from my mind but it was stuck.

"You have permanently scarred me for life, Sango." Sango looked up, with a apologetic look on her face.

"I'm sorry. I didn't realize you heard me at all," Sango said, blushing and shifting nervously. Suddenly, Ayame appeared with Kouga behind her. They took one look at Sango's shirt and groaned.

"Oh for god's sake, you two! Have you ever heard of decency?" Ayame threw her hands up in the air, frustrated. "I came running because I thought you were dying, and I find you getting some from Miroku? What is the world coming to?" She turned and left out the door, all the while shaking her head.

"Hey, cut us some slack," came a smooth voice from behind sango. Miroku appeared behind Sango with nothing but his boxer's on. I turned around.

"I know you guys are engaged and the wedding's next month, but can't you at least do this, oh I don't know, somewhere more private?" Kagome sighed, exasperated.

"Yeah, you guys. I can't have you rob my little sister from her naïve innocence." Kouga half-joked. Sango nodded and she looked toward Miroku.

"Oh alright!"

I smiled.

"And go put on some pants, will ya?"

Later, (When Sango and Miroku were fully clothed) we all piled onto the bus, having already packed all of our things. Kikyo would come later.

"Well, I guess its goodbye to our house!" I sang, a smile on my face. I was so phsyced for this tour. The others celebrated with some sodas and chips. I walked up to the passenger's seat.

"Miroku, where's our first stop?"

"I think we're hitting L.A first." My face lit up. LA is where Kaede and shippo lived.

"Thanks!" I patted him and went toward the back of the bus. When I saw everyone passed out on the couch, I realized we were missing someone, or rather, two someones.

"Hey, you guys! Do any of you know where Rin and Sessh are?" I asked prodding them awake. Kouga cracked his eyes open.

"She said they'd catch up later. Sesshoumaru said he had to pick up a relative," I sighed with relief. I couldn't believe I had forgotten about Rin and Sesshoumaru. I slapped my hand on my forehead. I was such an idiot. I lowered my hand and touched my necklace again. I didn't know why but I felt something unsettling was about to happen. I looked out the window and stood there, watching the scenery pass. As I stared, the scene started to change.

Flames start to shoot up from the ground, people run, trying to escape the flames.

Monsters. I see monsters.

They're slashing and killing, the evil smiles on their face just growing wider and wider.

I see one raise their sword and slash at a girl, but she's able to run. She's bleeding from her waist. Suddenly, I feel a seering pain on my side, and I double over. I put my hand on the pain and when I pull it away, I can see the blood. Why am I bleeding, dying?

"NOOOOO!"

I sat bolt-upright, still rapt up in my recent emotions. I saw the others looking at me with worried faces.

"Kagome, are you alright?" Ayame whispered softly. She placed a wet cloth on my head and bid me to lie down.

"What happened?"

"You fainted and you caught a fever," Kouga answered. I opened my eyes and searched the room. The clock read three thirty-five. It was dark out so it was am.

"Oh, you guys, I'm sorry! Where are the others?" I asked, looking for sango and miroku. The bus was no longer moving and I hadn't realized it until now.

"They're asleep. I sent them to bed, saying that I would take care of you. Ayame was the only stubborn one," He handed me a glass, while grinning at Ayame.

"Well, what did you think I would do? Kagome is very important to me! She's my sister too," She gave him the puppy dog eyes, which he just waved away. I sat up as I drank the water. I smiled at them warmly

"Thanks,"

"No problem, sis," Ayame answered. I closed my eyes and no more nightmares haunted my mind.

The next moring I felt refreshed and anew. I didn't mention my dream nor did anyone ask. They knew that I couldn't talk about it. During the trip, my mind kept wandering to the dream. It sort of seemed familiar but I couldn't remember from where. All I would get would be the same flashes of silver, red, and pink, but this time I got black too. It was starting to freak me out, but I tried to push it to the back of my mind.

"A penny for your thoughts?"

I turned around and saw sango. Her hair was up and she had on a pair of dark skinny jeans and a pink turtleneck.. It made me look at my shabby over-sized shirt and pj pants.

"Sango, you make me feel so underdressed!" I laughed. She sat on the couch next to me.

"Kagome, why don't you come out with the rest of us? There are a lot of guys out there!" She whispered excitedly, grabbing my hands. I had to admire her gumption. You see, I was currently 20 going on 21 and single. To sango, that was a sin.

"It's okay Sango, really." She just nodded and after a quick hug, she neared the door.

"Are you sure, Kagome?" She hesitated at the door, looking over her shoulder to glance at me.

"Go! I'm sure Miroku is waiting for you," I waved good-bye and I watched her leave. We had stopped in small town, and the rest were sight seeing. I really didn't want to go, firstly because I wasn't feeling well, and second because I didn't want to be anyone's third wheel. Sometimes being single did hinder you're social life. That's when I got an awesome idea. I could go into town myself! I ran to my part of the bus( No one wanted the room where Sango and Miroku had almost, you know…) and grabbed my nice clothes. I ran to the bathroom to change. I put on a black turtleneck ( It was pretty cold) and my dark denim skinnies. I walked out of the bathroom and scrambled to find my boots.

As I was bending down to look under the table, I found them. They were made of soft material and they had no heel. They were great for the cold, practical and stylish. I slipped them on and grabbed my purle scarf I got at Hot Topic earlier this week. I also put on my matching hat. I made sure I locked the door and left a note on the door, just in case someone came to check on me. I glanced around and suddenly felt glad. I walked out in the direction of the town. I didn't bother for a jacket, thinking I'd be in someplace warm soon.

It was pretty and it had historical statues and stuff like that. I passed by a bookstore and I couldn't resist going in.

"Well, hello young lady!" a short stout man greeted. He was at the cashier, so I assumed he was an employee.

"Hello," I breathed. It was still pretty chilly out. He smiled, making his eyes crinkle. Something about that seemed familiar. I shook my head. I guess I was still out of it. I went to the manga section, checking out the latest stuff. I was just looking over a volume of Fruits basket when I felt someone behind me. The old man that was at the cashier smiled.

"Could I interest you in this?"

He held out a book, with the title Reincarnation. It looked interesting, and the summary were just two simple phrases.

"Many lives. One love," I read. I looked up at the old man. It was exactly something I'd like to read, being the hopeless romantic I am."How'd you know I'd like it?" I asked. He just smiled.

"It just struck me as good book for you, Miss?" He beckoned for my name.

"Kagome. Nice to meet you," I shook his hand.

"My name is Myoga. I own this little bookstore here," He held his arms wide out to emphasize. " I haven't had much business since the economy went down, but it's all in a days work," He mended. He clapped his hands together and smiled. "Would you like a bag, Miss Kagome?"

"Huh?"

He pointed to the book.

"You're going to buy it right?" I looked at it again and decided. I had enough money for it.

"Of course,"

I left the bookstore with a nice feeling. I took out the book and looked at the cover. The girl and the guy were just on the verge of kissing. I opened to the first page and started reading.

Start

And the next thing I knew

I was a baby.

So I begin,

We begin. . .

Those words struck me. This feeling I felt was so unfamiliar and yet . . . it wasn't. I closed the book and returned it to the bag. I'd read it later. I walked a little more and before I knew it, it started to snow. I cursed at myself. I didn't have a jacket and I was far from the bus. The only good thing was no one seemed to recognize me as a famous, international rock star. Either that, or these people weren't big paparatzzi fans. I shrugged to myself. I walked into a small café, and decided to get a hot chocolate and call Kouga. As I sat down, I heard a voice calling my name.

"Kagome! Hey Kagome!"

I turned around and imagine my surprise when I see Rin's petite little form, hand in hand with Seshoumaru. I stood up and gave her a big hug.

"Oh Rin! Don't ever leave without telling me!" I squealed. I even hugged Seshoumaru. Of course he didn't respond, but nevertheless I was still happy. When I stepped back, I motioned for them to sit with me.

"Hey Rin, where's the relative you guys went to go look for?" I asked, gulping a bit of my hot chocalte. It tasted really good.

"Sesshy's little brother? Yeah, he's outside." she pointed outside and I turned around to get a better look. He had long silver hair, like Seshoumaru's. He was facing the other way so I couldn't see his face.

"He's my half-brother, actually." Sesshoumaru spoke. I cocked an eye-brow at Rin, who just shrugged.

"Half-brother?" I repeated.

"Yes. I didn't know of him until a couple of weeks ago, when the government contacted me." His expression didn't change and it looked like he wasn't going say anymore on the subject.

"Inuyasha was in a . . . predicament," Rin interjected, nervously looking at Seshoumaru.

"What kind?"

"Do you know how demons are treated nowadays?" Rin asked, her voice low.

"Yeah, Kouga's whole family is demon. I should know,"

I didn't know where this was going. Living with demons, I knew how hard it was to fit in with the rest of the world. They looked down on them, the society's pariahs. A lot of people couldn't believe I lived with them at all.

"Well, Inuyasha's case is rare, but not unheard of. It's a lot worse for him." She grabbed her cup and sent an apologetic look to Inuyasha.

"How?" I demanded.

"He's half demon,"

At that moment, a couple of things happended. I saw Seshoumaru get up and walk toward the door, a gleam in his eye. I turned around and saw Inuyasha staring at me, his auburn eyes hardening.

"Inuyasha! Inuyasha!"

I felt sick as he looked at me like that. I couldn't bear it. I bent over as the pain in my head increased. Rin got up and sprinted toward me, lifting me up and leading me out the café. The people in the café took notice, and they started to get upset. Rin managed to get me out without many stares. I could see Inuyasha and Seshoumaru, but then I saw nothing.

My world went black.

A/n: Well this is the end of this chapter! How is it? I hoped you guys like it because it took me while to think it, especially since I write everything on the spot. So Inuyasha is in the mix now, I wonder how that will change things? And what does being half demon mean to Inuyasha? Next chapter will be in Inuyasha's point of view! Also, I got A LOT of alerts but I only got one review? I'm not trying to be mean iu just want reviews!!!! It wouldn't kill you to click that pretty button you know.
