Chapter Seven: The Solution
He did it again. Left without a notice, going to HER, then lying about why he was gone. This always happened, why was she so upset about it, every, single time? She fought back the burning desire to let the tears come, to let them slide down her face and drip onto the ground. The answer was simple: she loved him.
The pain that vision left behind was terrible. The aching sadness, the longing feelings…to put it simply, it hurt.
Kagome stared out the window of her bedroom, pondering the strange…'whatever-they-are's she's been having.
'They seem like…they're…memories of some sort…yet, I'm pretty sure none of this ever happened to me, before…perhaps I should ask Grandpa, he might know a thing or two…' leaping off the bed, Kagome dashed toward her elderly relative's current location, the kitchen.
"Grandpa! Can I talk to you?" Kagome asked, staring at the old man, reading his newspaper.
"Hm? Kagome, what's wrong?"
"Well…" Kagome hesitated. Would her grandpa help her or freak out?
'It's worth a try, at least.'
"Strange dreams have been bothering me, lately," she started, taking a seat at the kitchen table, "Really strange. They…they feel like memories, only…not my memories. Grandpa, is it possible to gain another person's past experiences?"
Her grandpa paused to consider his granddaughter. "Strange dreams? Memories? Maybe…a demon is behind this!" His eyes gleamed at a chance to take on anything that remotely resembled a demon. Kagome tried hard not to groan in frustration.
'Wait…Grandpa may be right! Surely only a demon can make people see things that seem so real!'
Seeing Kagome's terrified expression, her grandfather said, hastily, "I'm kidding! I'm kidding!" Adopting a serious look, he continued, "Kagome, I think these visions…they are your memories, in a way. Apparently, you are the second life of a person that has lived in the past., another person's soul resides in you."
"Then the visions…they are the memories of someone else?"
"Yes," her grandpa said, nodding his head, "The only way to put this spirit to rest is to piece together the visions, find out if anyone else is having them, and then figure out the past lives the person."
Kagome thought about it for a moment. 'That won't be too hard, will it? I mean, all I have to do is put all the things in order and then check out the history books.'
"Thanks Grandpa!" Kagome gave him a kiss on the cheek and rushed to her room.
Her grandpa stared after her, his expression thoughtful. "Wait, was that the way to get rid of visions or the solution to puzzles?"
