Chapter 2,part one: Scars of the past:

"Higurashi, are you alright?"

"Huh? Oh, um, yes… I'm fine sensei!" Kagome said with a fake smile. "Um, may I just be excused for a moment."

"Hai, Higurashi Kagome….Now, where was I? Oh, yes…. Kagome broke the…"

Kagome ran to the bathroom. There is one more thing I must see, she thought. On the last few day she had with Inuyasha she had received a deep wound on her back. It had begun to heal when Kagome went to sleep in the one era, and awoke on the other. Once in the bathroom, Kagome took off her shirt and examined her back. From the nape of her neck to her waist a jagged scab was beginning to form. She felt it and it stung to the touch.

"It's new," she said to herself," I now I didn't do that since I have been here. What's going on? Why am I in history books?" She put her blouse back on and propped her back against the wall.

"Its strange," she whispered," When I was in the past, all I ever wanted to do was get back to this time and study. But now, I find it hard even to pay attention to class. Was Inuyasha really just a figure in my dream? I might have just written that," she said, recalling the note," after reading a myth like was Mr. Raft read. But…but what about that cut? And the name in the story, it being mine? Oh, I just want things to be.." she was going to say normal, but she realized *this * was normal….

"..I just want to go back!"

Chapter 2, part 2: Two familiar faces:

A week after the incident of the scar, Kagome went out into town to get her mother some milk and eggs. On her way back, a flash of red mad her head turn fast. A tall figure wearing completely red was walking her way. With long, silver hair.

"Inuyasha!"

She ran towards the figure. There he was! Maybe it* was * just a dream!

"WHOA!" Kagome ran right into another person. The red figure disappeared.

"Gomen! Oh, I am so sorry Ms… Higurashi?! Kagome Higurashi?"

"Huh..?" Kagome looked up. "Hojo-kun!"

"Y-you know me? " Hojo asked, amazed. "I visited you at the hospital a few times, but they said you were in a coma… I didn't think people could see people when they were in a coma…"

"What? Oh, heh heh, my, um, mom told me you visited, yeah! Um, arigato Hojo-kun!"

"Uh, sure! Hey, do you need help?"

Kagome didn't answer. He was just like the Hojo form the Inuyasha time (as she was now calling it). A little older, but so was she. And she had known him!

"Higurashi?"

"Oh! Um, no, arigato, I'm fine. I guess I'll see you later, Hojo- kun!" She said, leaping up.

"Oh, err, sure!"

Kagome ran to the library. Maybe I can find out more…

"Excuse me.." Kagome said to the Liberian, "Do you have records from March 15th, 1997 in Tokyo?"

"Sure. Its on computer B6."

"Thanks."

Kagome typed in "Higurashi Kagome-Coma" in the computer and found the records. It read:

"Girl mysteriously falls into coma after she is found at the bottom of a dry well. Police say the her body was not injured in any way, but a mysterious opaque orb about the size of a marble was found clenched in her right hand…"

The Shikon No Tama!
