Summary: Had her trips through the well been a dream or something else entirely? Some seven years after she left her family home with her twin, Mikuni, and the Servamp of Envy, she is still asking herself that same question. Real or a dream? She never imagined that fighting Tsubaki and his subclass would finally bring an answer to her. Was it too late to erase it all again?

Chapter Two
Her confusions never faded, but she never found the right way to voice them. After all, without any sort of proof, there was no way she could say a single thing without coming off as completely insane. Even if her home was full of vampires, her claims and belief of transcending time was still something that would never be believed without definitive proof.
It was late one night when she couldn't sleep. After tossing and turning for what seemed like ages, she sat up in her bed and tossed her covers to the side with an annoyed huff. She stood from her bed and left her bedroom while still dressed in her pajamas.
The halls felt strangely unwelcoming as she made her way down them. She went along as quietly as she could, once again remembering the several vampires that lurked in the large building. They wouldn't hurt her, she knew that but is she'd rather sneak by them if possible.
She found her way outside and making her way through the garden. Perhaps doing so in the dead of night wasn't the brightest thing she could do, considering if she got hurt, she'd have to hope someone managed to hear her from where she was. She didn't let that stop her though, and she was walking as cautiously as she could through the dark area.
It was peaceful. No sound outside of her footsteps and the faint noise of chirping crickets.
She didn't know what she was looking for, but she knew that she would know when she found it. After walking and searching for almost ten minutes, she finally came across what she had been looking for.
An aged, wooden well hidden among the bushes and trees called out to her, and she ran towards it.
Was this…? She stopped a few feet away from it, the breath she had been holding on to slipping past her parted lips.
It… it was!
Kagome came to a halt in front of it and dragged her fingertips along the old wood. She felt a prick of pain, and she let out a quiet hiss when a splinter got embedded into her finger. With a little bit of effort, she managed to pluck it out with her nails.
With widened eyes, Kagome gripped the lip of the well with both hands and peered over the side and into the black depths. There was nothing down there that she could see, but it was all so familiar to her.
This well was the Bone-Eater's Well.
Her chest swelled in relief at this being here. Surely… surely if she asked about it, then things would start to make sense, right? The small sliver of hope she felt made her heart pound heavier. She let out a sigh and stepped back a few paces to avoid slipping down it in the dead of night. She wasn't sure if it would work anymore, and she'd rather not find out in the middle of the night. If she needed to, then she'd test it out during daylight hours so she could find a way out of it.
She wanted to figure out which was the truth, but she couldn't do that just yet. She still needed to answer a few more questions- such as the location of the jewel and how she didn't have her scars anymore. But... for now, she felt like this was enough for her. This meant there was a chance her memory had been real and not just some complex dream like she feared.
She was about to turn and return inside when two hands came from behind and covered her eyes. Just as she was going to turn around and look for who it was, a pink mist surrounded her.
"H-Huh?"
The soft, confused noise she made was followed by nothing but silence as her conscious faded from her.
Even though she fell forward, she never hit the ground. Before she could hit the ground, a pair of arms wrapped around her and lifted her up. All of Love watched her for a few seconds before giving an apologetic sigh and turning on his heel to go away from the well.
"I really wish you wouldn't keep coming out here, Kagome," he whispered to her, even though she would be unable to give him any sort of response. "It isn't safe for you…"
He carried her away from the well and all the way back to her room. The blonde vampire placed her back in bed and covered her back up before he sat down next to her. His shoulders were slumped as he sat in the silence of her sleeping company.
He could remember her from then. She would often run into trouble and end up injured. She had always been a curious and, for the lack of a better term, stubborn girl. Those two traits two made for an awful combination.
It worried him to think of her in that same situation all over again.
When she woke the next morning Kagome felt a little dazed. She could remember waking up last night, but everything else was a confusing blur. She sat up in bed and rubbed the side of her head. A second later, her hand brushed against something that felt nothing like her hair.
She pulled her hand back, only to survey a part of a leaf from one of the trees out in the garden.
… how had it gotten in her hair? She had washed her hair last night, so there was no way it was from being outside yesterday.
There was a knock on her door, and Kagome jumped in her bed. She pulled her blankets up to hide her disheveled clothing as the door to her room slowly opened. A familiar figure stood there, peeking into her room with a smile on his face.
"Oh, good, you're up!" The blonde Servamp smiled at the girl still sitting in bed as he stepped into her room.
"Good morning, _!" Kagome called back to him as she dropped her blankets and swung her legs out from under them. She stood up and stretched as she walked over to her vanity.
All of Love followed after her. When she sat down, he picked up her brush and began to pull it through her hair, being careful not to yank any tangles that could be found.
"Did you sleep well?" he asked her as he began to braid a section of her hair for her. Kagome was silent for a minute before shrugging.
"I slept okay," she said as she glanced down at her hands. The Servamp behind her stopped braiding as he looked at her in confusion at her disparaged tone.
"Is something wrong, Kagome?"
He sounded worried as he said that, and Kagome felt bad the following second. She looked down before shrugging. "... No, nothing's wrong, _," she said. "I guess I'm still getting used to being home."
The missing pieces she needed answering weren't coming up like she had hoped. She held her breath for a moment before looking back up. She pulled forward some, making his grip on her hair loosen so he wouldn't end up yanking it by accident.
"Can I ask you something?" she asked him. Her voice carried an uncertain weight to it. "Anything, and you'll tell me the truth?"
"... I'll try my best to give you an honest answer," he responded.
"What happened to me?" she asked. Kagome turned to face him completely. "I've tried and I've tried, but I can't remember what happened," she said, referring to her hospital stay. "I think it could be one thing, but there is no evidence of that. I don't know what happened. I can't remember it, _. I'm scared I'm losing my mind over this," she admitted.
All of Love watched her for a moment before he knelt in front of her. His hands took her own and he caressed the back of her hand with his thumb.
"You ended up slipping and falling down that old well while playing with Misono," he said. "You got really hurt and scared everyone when you wouldn't wake up."
"The well…?" Kagome felt her breath snag in her throat at hearing that. "I fell down a well?"
She had actually fallen down the well. That much was true, right?
All of Love nodded before glancing away from her.
"So, please don't go near it, Kagome. It's dangerous for you. Next time you might not be so lucky in your injuries."
