Kagome felt bad getting Hojo to do her clean up duty. He wasn't even in her class! She really had to buy him a gift or something. Maybe give him a souvenir from the shrine. After settling that matter, she ran all the way home and stopped by the Goshinboku to catch her breath. If she had a cursed object, she wasn't going to bring it into her house, but maybe it'd somehow be less dangerous on holy ground. Kagome wasn't going to have another possessed Noh mask incident. The girl went into the well house where she kept a quiver of arrows, just in case.
With the journal open, she waited for something to happen, squashing the urge to take a page out of her grandfather's book and shout, "Demon be gone!" out of nowhere. Nothing happened for almost a full minute, and the feeling of foolishness crept up on her. She tentatively picked up the book with two fingers and held it at arm's length before dropping it with a squeak.
Scrawly handwriting appeared out of nowhere, one letter at a time.
"Hello again. Kagome-san. I was hoping we would speak again sooner."
"What?"
The line erased itself and a new one emerged. "Shall I reintroduce myself? My name is Tom Riddle."
'I know this name…' Kagome gave three blinks before recognition lit her eyes. "Eh?!" She picked up the book and flipped to the inside front cover to see the same name. A forgotten dream from a few days ago rushed back to her. "Tomu….-san."
