A woman with skin like an egg, smooth, pale and flawless. Her lips were redder than any apple that ever existed. Her long and thick ebony hair defied gravity as it flowed gracefully in the wind.

A roll of silver silk slowly unveiled as it did the fabric began to unravel turning into thousands of long silver strands. When the entire roll became nothing, but free strands they lifted high into the air.

The blue sky became full of large white clouds as the sun shined brightly through them. The sky bleed navy as the clouds began crumble into tiny flakes.

Red filled my vision before quickly changing to black. The darkness felt cold and suffocating just before it became too much, a flash of white consumed everything. It remained for a bit and began to slowly melt in doing so I heard my name, "Kagome."

Dad?

I opened my eyes eagerly awaiting the sight of his warm eyes and kind smile. Something I desperately missed these last fourteen years. Upon opening my eyes I smiled wide "Dad!" Launching off of the cot I wasn't aware I was laying on, my smile dropped when my eyes met an old woman. Her tan heavily wrinkled skin was littered with dark sun spots. Her within her dark grey hair remained a few stubborn black strands. Her mane was fashioned in a low messy bun her bright cinnamon eyes were the only youthful features that remained.

"Not exactly my sweet," her old voice croaked.

Looking around I couldn't help but notice that this looked extremely similar to Kaede's hut "Where am I? Who are you? Is this near Inuyasha forrest?" Before the old lady could answer, another question blurted out "Haruto! Haruto?!"

"My you're sure energetic. Hard to believe you've been asleep for four days. Well my name is Kiyochi Mizazowa and you are currently in my home in the village of Chisato. No one by the name of Haruto around here. Or is that your name? It's a fine name, but it can't be yours. It doesn't suit you very well."

"No. My name is Kagome Higurashi."

"Higurashi as in the Higurashi shrine that lies three villages away? I though a fierce demon attacked and the shrine was destroyed. I heard they are trying to rebuild. Are you a miko then?"

Higurashi Shrine? Our shrine? This is definitely not my era. Maybe it's our ancestors? But in keade's time the shrine I live in isn't even built yet. So I'm in a different time then?! "What year is it? Who is emperor?!" I said hoping I was wrong. I don't want to be lost in time.

"Why none other than Lord Go-Fushimi. You must have suffered greatly. Do you remember anything besides your name?" The old woman said with great concern in her cracky voice.

"No. No. NO! I went back! And even further! How am I going to get home?!" I screamed as tears began to form in my eyes.

"Are you alright deary. It sounds as if you have gone mad. You must have hit your head really hard."

Before my tears could fall I reminded myself I'm not the child I was the first time this happened. I was fifteen and knew nothing when I first went back in time. Now I'm smarter, I know alot about history and I can defend myself quite well. I'll get back. Just might take a while. For now I need to calm down and make a plan. Taking a deep breath I asked another question "Have you ever heard of the bone eater's well?"

"Sorry can't say I have."

"Where was I found?" I asked quite curious. To be honest I had no idea how I got here if it was not through the bone eater's well.

"A few women found you in the river where we wash our laundry and catch fish. The river is called Chimizu."

"Sure a lot of use of Chi, around here?"

"Yes, village tradition I suppose." The Kiyochi shrugged. "Well it sounds as if you are lost, do you need a place to stay?"

I nodded with an accepting smile "Seems I'll be visiting for a while and am very grateful for your offer, But I don't want to impose. Is there a spare hut in the village I might use?"

"There is my dear, the village's former miko resided there."

"Former?"

"Yes, she passed last spring." Kiyochi said wearing heavy sadness on her face. Her eyes became glossy and her frown grew more wrinkles.

"Well I'll work in exchange for staying there?" I admitted before understanding what I had just signed up for. It won't be that bad. I've been a priestess for years and there's nothing to it. Ward off a few evil spirits or yokai, heal illnesses that are extremely common at home, and assist with childbirth. Besides who knows how long I'll be stuck here. Time travel from my experience is like a door it opens and you pass through it. But since I don't remember how I got here and Kiyochi doesn't know either. I have no idea where the door is.

As hours turned into days, days turned into weeks, weeks into months and before I knew it two years had quickly passed. The first few months I had been in Chisato I would spend every minute of light, from sunup to sundown exploring my new surroundings. I had found a well in the middle of the village, to this day I am still teased about jumping in. For the first two weeks I had been known only as the "Well girl," or "Well Jumper." After one year I came to the rather bitter realization I would probably never see my family or friends again. But just like before when I arrived in Inuyasha's time, I slowly began making friends. Some of whom I even considered family. Chisato was no different. Kiyochi was like the grandmother I never knew. Michiyo is one of my closest friends, she is wife of a merchant known as Tochi. they are currently expecting their third child, Who I will likely deliver. I have already refused one thousand proposals, it sounds like a alot, but it's from the same two men. If you can call them men that is, twin boys Ichio and Nichio they are only twelve. They have certainly had it rough. Their mother a year ago was killed by a traveler with sinful desires when she was picking berries. She sadly returned to this world as an Onryo and reaked his havoc on the village. She killed two women who had always bullied her since childhood and told the traveler where she was in exchange for their own safety. Their father became a victim of his own guilt and performed Seppuku on himself.

~knock, knock, knock!~

Putting down my ink brush, keeping a diary was the best way for me to remember who I truly am and where I came from. I got up from my desk and made my way to the door. Which by the way was a generous title for the curtain covering the only entrance to my house. Pulling it back I saw my two suitors. I nearly rolled my eyes thinking this would be the first proposal attempt of the day from these two. But their expressions were different, worried, no more like panicked.

"What?" I asked my gut filled with bubbling fear of the uncertainty.

"Michiyo! It's Michiyo!" Nichio cried!

"What about Michiyo?!" I cried in panic.

"Michiyo went into labor!" Ichio cried.

Unlike the panicking duo this was nothing new to me. I had successfully delivered twenty six children. I've only experienced one loss, a child arrived stillborn due to lack of oxygen during delivery. Since then I've studied long and hard. I even know how to perform a C-section. Whether or not i could perform it is another task all together, on top of that I would need actual surgical experience, tools or assistants. Since the development of Virtual Reality there are games of surgical practice and situations, but those don't give actual experience. It's just like playing grand theft Auto and saying I'm a top notch driver. Trying to shake my rambling thoughts and instead focus on the situation I looked down at Ichio "So do you think it will be a boy or a girl?"

He just stared at me surprised, it was clear he was caught off by the question I had asked. He looked away from me and looked to be contemplating. His brother Nichio overheard and excitedly screamed "A girl!"

Ichio glared at his nosey brother "Hey she asked me!"

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the first born, but by far most immature of the two boys. I gave him a smile and asked again trying to distract him "Do you think it will be a girl?" Just as planned Ichio became distracted and quietly pondered the question. After a minute he shook his head.

"You think it will be a boy? I curiously asked.

"Yeah," He stated in a monotone voice.

"Why?"

"Well it has to be a boy or a girl. Nichio said a girl, so I'm guessing a boy. He's often wrong." Ichio proudly stated holding his head high. It wasn't long before we made it to the hut, after a few long hours a new beautiful baby girl entered the world. She had black hair and strangely green eyes. China using the two wonderful characters of Chi and Na, giving the child the name meaning thousand greens. Because a thousand greens laid within her wide eyes. With my job successfully completed I went outside and washed my hands. Walking through the village I was bombarded with curious villages.

"Are mother and child well?" Chimizu asked with a hopeful smile.

"They are," I stated.

A young man ran up to me with his young expecting wife in tow. He asked the question on their behalf "A boy or a girl?"

"A beautiful girl," I stated. It wouldn't be long before I visited these two. A smile grew on my face as I asked "Everything going good?"

"Yes, she is exercising and not doing any heavy work. She goes inside often to escape the heat and she is eating well." I watched as he wife nodded, his wife was the first deaf person I had met in the feudal area. After learning she was expecting I took a afternoon last month to get to know the couple. I had found a beautiful love story. They were childhood friends and when a yokai attacked them in the woods one day, a yokai attacked them. He froze only being six and she at ten jumped in front and protected him. He ran to get help and she suffered from the yokai's wraf but survived. A slash to her face and a few blows to the head took away her hearing and the two learned to communicate with their own version of sign language. They were personally my favorite love story in the village and honestly my favorite couple, my friends Tochi and Michiyo were my second favorite and I didn't really have a third. After a short conversation with my favorite couple I went home and went to bed to get ready for the early morning I always had. It wasn't long after I came home that I laid down and had fallen asleep.

Opening my eyes I could see nothing, but I could feel. I could feel that my feet were cold. Closing my eyes I tilted my head down and opened to look down at what caused my feet to feel as if they were freezing. Beautiful white sand greated my eyes as did something else. Falling white specs flew to the ground from above. Tilting my head up I saw a black sky with a large white moon peeking through dark grey clouds. Suddenly heat fill my body and then began to leave. It felt like a volcano erupted, lava filling my body and then quickly spilling out. Looking down I saw a sword protruding from my gut. My shaking pale fingers grabbed it's hilt and pulled it from my chest. Crimson poured from my wound waterfalling down my body and spilling onto snow white sand. It bled into the ocean as it did the white crested waves rose higher and higher, growing more angry and violent with each drop of my blood. My blood. I knew I should feel scared, I should feel shock, but I'm calm. My eyes grew tired and I began to fall. As they did with each time I blinked I saw a flash of an image I did not know.

The first image was of a handsome man with nonhuman features. He looked like an angel from heaven, he had long white hair with bright golden eyes. He smiled at me. The was all I saw in the flash. I opened my eyes after hearing someone talk. But when I opened my eyes I found the very man I had seen staring down at me. He wore a beautiful white haori a frown appeared on my face as I could not make out the words he spoke. But when I saw my blood on his haori a tear fell from my eye "I'm sorry." Again my eyes shut and I saw an image of him with a smiling this time it was with a child in his arms. Image of this man flashed in my mind over and over until…

Knock, knock, knock.

"I know it's not morning, what are you-" Opening my door I saw Ichio with Nichio on his back. Ichio's face was covered in something black as was blood. His face was slashed from his bottom left chin to the top right of his forehead. It was extremely deep and horrific. "Help, Nichio." Ichio suddenly fell face first onto the ground his brother fell not far from him. Ichio's back was soaked in blood "ICHIO!" I screamed, turning him over I felt for a pulse and found none. I quickly told myself I had no time to grieve and turned my attention to Nichio. He laid on his back. Turning him over I saw his stomach was sliced open as his innards spilled out. He was dead. Screaming grew louder and louder in my ears and looking towards the heart of the village I saw smoke and fire. I ran inside grabbing my bow and quiver before rushing into the village.

The night had been beautiful and peaceful, just like every other night I had experienced in this small but sweet town. Though I hadn't originally wanted this life or accepted it once I had came here. But I had grown to love it. I had grown to accept it and couldn't help but think about the late Kikyo and how she must have felt. Being admired, but feeling like a loner and an outsider. Living a life she didn't want, but making her peace with it. The dark moonless night was breathtakingly beautiful. Since meeting inuyasha and spending majority of my night in the feudal era with him, I had come to love the moonless nights. Not because they reminded me of him. But because without the moon I could see the stars even more. I was able to see the true beauty of the night something the lights in Tokyo has always hid. Trillions of bright stars varying in sizes and color. The night sky is not just blue or black, they have a variety of blue, purple and black shades. I remember taking an art class and this night sky always reminded me of a breathtaking watercolor. It was something I knew I'd miss when I returned to my era. But my favorite peaceful night has been shattered, by a yokai. The hair on my night was standing up tall telling me danger was near as goose bumps littered my skin. Angry tears were beginning to form in my eyes. My heart pounded loudly within my chest as my blood boiled hotter than it had in a long time. My body shook with adrenaline as I felt my anger rise. This is my home. No one messes with my home! It didn't take me long to enter the village. I saw a few villagers flee south, as most fleed east. Northeast! Before beginning in that direction I noticed a few slain villagers scattered across the road, a few elderly and a few children. Easy prey. Those who couldn't escape! Cowards! Ignoring the familiar lifeless faces of the lifeless victims I ran towards the direction I knew the attacker was. I ran down the dirt path and heard loud screaming running down another dirt path I knew I was approaching Michiyo's hut. I refuse to allow the monster to take anymore lives! Something inside me called for revenge for bloodshed. I'll take down this demon and purify it slowly!

Rounding the corner I froze. My body went stock still as my eyes went wide as I felt my throat swell shut. My body began to tremble as it took over my hands and fingers I nearly dropped my bow. White hair. Golden eyes. Pale skin. White haori.

AN: Question "Who do you think it is?" Also I have the next chapter finished but I would really love to hear your guesses. So until I get at least one I'm not gonna update for a while.
