Kagome Higurashi had lost everything that had ever meant anything to her in one single day. Her love, her best friends, and her pseudo-son. She only had her so-called friends of the modern days. Wiping her eyes, Kagome stood up and walked around her small room trying to calm herself any way she could think of. Stopping in front of her desk, she sat down on her plush carpet and opened the bottom drawer. Kagome scanned the contents carefully with her chocolate eyes. It contained one sole sketch book, it was familiar. Had it been a gift? No, drawing had never been an interest. Why was it even here? Kagome wiped away a few more tears away from tear streaked cheek and took to sketch book back to her bed with her.

Kagome carefully sat the sketchbook on her bed and opened the cover. The inside had a few sentences written in English. Squinting at the words Kagome managed to recognize two words. Dante Drakkar. Kagome's eyes widen, she remembered him. He was a very cute young boy from America that had come to Japan with his father. They had met on the playground. Kagome smiled fondly remembering the day. Dante was a very precocious twelve year old. He already had an extreme interest in girls and wanted nothing more then to have one go home with him.

Twirling a strand of her raven locks in one hand, Kagome flipped to the next page of the sketch pad to reveal a rather disturbing site. The drawing was an exact replica of the well…. from the Senjoku Jidai. The tears in Kagome's eyes slid down and became a torrent. She would never she that sight again. With much pain but also with anticipation she turned to the next page.

The corners of the page were wrinkled as if the artist had thought about ripping it out. Kagome looked down at the image to see Inuyasha standing with Tetsusaiga on his shoulder and a smiling version of herself standing next to him with her bow and arrows in hand. Kagome was completely astonished. How did Dante, a mere little boy, manage to know about all of this and draw it out? Kagome thought about the conversations she had with Dante when they first met. As soon as they made contact.. Kagome strained to remember, Dante had done something, something that her memory couldn't recall. He had… his eyes had… his gorgeous violet eyes that held pains too deep for any child to hold, had glazed over. That's right, Kagome remembered, Dante had called her Lady Kagome before passing out.

Maybe he was a reincarnation, too. Maybe he had all of his memories and could talk to, no… that would be a ridiculous idea. Kagome could just see herself jumping out in front of an older Dante and saying "Did you ever live another life five hundred years ago and just so happen to see me running around? Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you wanna talk or something?" Kagome sighed. She could barely remember the boy it wouldn't so her much good to go and talk to him.

"Your street racing ring seems to be loosing popularity, Dante." The leader of the 9 Knives gang stated with friendly truth, not with the usual contempt. The young, muscular, dark skinned man looked at Dante with his soul searching honey eyes. Dante stared back with brooding violet ones.

"Are you suggesting relocation, Andre?" Dante asked monotone giving off no emotion from his body language.

"You're half-Jap. I'm half-Jap. I thought Tokyo could use some of our half-American ideas." Andre chuckled as he watched the surprise jump to Dante's features before he quickly shoved it away. "Listen," he sighed, "If you're worried about the flash backs you've been getting, man, I'll make sure you know that your name is Dante Drakkar and you're one bad mother fucker, not someone else. "

"You know, for an arch nemesis, you sure do me a lot of favors." A hint of humor was detected in his voice. Dante just gave Andre one of his signature perverted smirks.

"Someone's gotta keep yo ass in line and besides, it's more fun when you're kicking you're buddy's ass then some guy's you don't even know, know what I'm saying?" Andre cocked an eyebrow at Dante as he stood up to leave.

"Yep. Last count was…. well I kick your ass everyday so who gives a damn about the count, neh?" Dante just laughed at Andre's reaction. "I'll meet you in the downtown mall of Tokyo at noon, two weeks from now."

Andre just smirked as he crossed his arms in front of his white muscle t-shirt. "That's awful close to Kori High ain't it?" Dante's face fell. Andre immediately mentally kick himself. "I was just fuckin' withcha, man."

Dante just nodded. His violet eyes started churning again. Andre just sighed and brushed the dust off his pants and took one final look at Dante's personal artifact room before turning to leave. Dante looked at his friend and whispered, "I'm crazy, aren't I?"

"Well, if I'd met a girl in middle school and started having visions of fighting monsters with her then yeah, I'd definitely check myself into the ward." He gave his friend an encouraging smile. "I'll warn her before you arrive. Last thing we need is for her to show up at the Raiden and pester you."

"Thanks, man." Dante smiled as he ran a hand through his black haired that was, as usual, spiked up in purple hair gel. Kagome… I'm coming back to you…. does your heart remember me?

Kagome returned to school one week after returning, for the last time, from the Senjoku Jidai. She sighed as she looked down at her uniform. There was a barely noticeable pink stain on her shirt from the last fight. Everything around her would serve as a reminder to her pain.

Kagome walked onto the school grounds and into the locker area to change to her inside shoes when Eri and Yuki ran up to her. Murder by hugging was a very possible headline on the Japanese Times tomorrow. Kagome wedged herself from her friends, landing right on the wooden floor.

Eri smiled suggestively down at Kagome digging into her with her brown eyes. "Um…Hi, Eri?"

"Whose Andre and why does he want to meet you later? " She asked with jealousy in her voice as she bent down to shove her face in Kagome's.

Kagome blinked dumbly. "What are you talking about?"

Yuki held up a note. "This was in your locker, Kagome. He says he wants to meet you later. At the mall before six. So, who is he?"

She looked at Eri's face which was still very much in front of her own. Kagome swallowed. "I don't know. Honestly, guys."

The two girls exchanged glances and looked back down at their friend. "You know we've been supportive of all the insane things you've done. We supported you through Mr. Attitude, every test since you've been sick and every study session. All we want to know is why some guy, an obviously American guy, wants to meet you. " Yuki stated before poking Kagome firmly on the nose.

She stood up sighing. So, much for relaxing in my own time. "I don't know. I'll find out this afternoon."

Eri smiled suggestively, "Gonna take Hojo-kun with you? Huh? Huh?"

Kagome just dropped her head and went to her locker. Opening it, a teddy bear fell out at her. She blinked. "You guys wanna talk about a note, how wabout a teddy bear?"

Eri and Yuki crowded around her, "That wasn't here twenty minutes ago.."

She set it on the ground and retrieved her shoes. Kagome placed her street shoes back into the locker and picked the bear back up. Without returning it to the locker she took it to first period with her. Setting it down on the desk, she pulled out her notebook and prepared for a hardocre study session.

Andre sat on the fountain edge, the back of his white tank top getting soaked by the mist as were the back of his jeans. Reaching up, he scratched between his corn rolls. He looked around the mall again. Where the fuck is she? His honey eyes snaped to the entrance as a young girl with flowing raven hair walked in. She was clutching the teddy bear and looking around with wide chocolate eyes. That must be her.

"Higurashi-san! Over here!" Kagome looked over to the young man that had called her. She definitely didn't recognize him.
