"Alright, everyone into positions! You too Ayame, let's get a move on, the show is in less than a week." She heard what sounded like her dance teacher giving out instructions. "Kagome? Kagome stop sleep walking and get into position." She opened her eyes and saw standing at the front of class looking at her in a ballet dance suit. She felt confused but got into position like everyone else.
'I'm at the dance studio? How did I get here?' Her instructor then started the music as she began following the moves by heart. 'This is like that performance we did at Cato Park. That was years ago, and I don't remember getting here.' She tried to remember how she got there and what she had been doing but all she started getting was a headache; so she let it slide seeing it as she was at dance class and she was enjoying herself.
"One, two, three, and back to first position." She did as told, and with that dance class was over. "Alright ladies good job, but remember keep those toes pointed when it the air. Class dismissed." Kagome dropped her position and looked around her and studied the big bright room. Every detail she could recall from memory from dancing in the studio, even the intricately carved wooden beams and marble dance statues. Her eyes finally landed on the huge dance mirror in front of her. The image of herself stunned her for a second but she couldn't figure out why she felt stunned. 'My head hurts looking at myself. There is something about my face that feels foreign, though it is pretty.' She was in a black ballet suit complimented with the necessary pink shoes and white stockings while her hair was wrapped in a bun. Her skin looked clear, refreshed with its trademark slight blush. Her eyes sparkled like the ocean; she was absolutely stunning.
"Hi Kagome." She shifted her eyes to land on her friend Ayame who also dawned on the same style of dress. She smiled and felt the tugging on her face as if she hadn't smiled in her whole life.
"Hello Ayame."
"Kagome, are you alright? You were staring in the mirror looking confused." She said with her brown eyes taking on worry in their depths.
"I..um. I don't know. I feel like I should remember something, but I forgot what it was," she said looking down at the mirror with incomprehension written on her face. Her eyes then landed on her abdomen as she lightly placed her hand over it.
"Maybe it's about Saturday night, remember? Eri and Yuka pushed you into agreeing to go on a date with Hojo." At the mere mention of his name Kagome's heart began pumping at an increasing rate. She felt as if the air was being punched out of her chest. Then came the dizziness and the black dots over her eyes which caused her to sway and grab ahold of a dance bar. "Oh my god, Kagome are you alright? Ms. Fuu! I think we need to call Kagome's mother and the hospital!" She then went to catch her friend as she began shaking in a violent fashion.
At the mention of her mother her heart constricted and with that came seconds long flashes of memory. 'wha? Mother?!' She felt her tears spring from her eyes and start to roll. 'What is wrong with me why did I just see that? What was I covered in?'
'You need to calm down.' She heard her own voice speak to her as her legs shakily gave out.
'What..w-who?'
'Calm down I'm you. I'm your voice of reason.' She then started taking long deep breaths as her dance instructer instructed everyone to give her room to breathe.
'What was that! Why do I feel weird being here?! And..and who were those people I saw?! THEY LOOKED DEAD!'
'I know you're confused but before I tell you, you need some time.'
'Time for what?! I think I just saw flashes of dead, bloody people!' She yelled to herself while wrapping her arms around her legs then hiding her face in them.
'If I tell you, you'll crawl even further into yourself.'
'What do you mean?'
'Where we are right now, this isn't real. This is a place we've been in our life where we felt happy. This is where you hiding yourself from reality.' Kagome then raised her head to look at her teacher and classmates with worried expressions on their faces as they waited for the ambulance to come.
'So, this is a dream?'
'Yes.'
'Why am I here hiding from myself, what happened to me?' She never got here answer as she became aware of a man dressed in an ambulance uniform walking toward her. He had the strangest colored hair she had ever seen, it was silver while his eyes were a piercing gold. She felt as if she knew this beautiful, that they had met on more than occasion. During the time she had been looking at his god like features he had kept his eyes on her as if looking into her soul. He then knelt down as she gazed at him lost in his eyes, and watched as his smooth muscular hand came up to grab her chin and turn her head to the side.
"Well ma'am what seems to be the problem?" he said with his silky didn't speak, she was too caught up in trying to worry to remember where she had met this man before. She also felt hypnotized by his voice and looks. "Shy, are we?" he said with a smirk dawning his face. She blushed but didn't look away, that smirk it sparked something within her. He then took a place light to her eyes and began moving it back and forth. That was when the flashes of memories came. Him trying to kill her when they first met, their short journey, that dream of the stranger who had touched her with the bloody hand, those red eyes that had looked at her as she held her dead mother in her arms.
The tears came fast as she began convulsing. The background scene began to fade along with everyone in the room, except for him. He looked at her with warm worry in his eyes as he reached up to wipe away the quick falling tears that came. "Don't worry it will stop hurting soon."
