Summary: Completing the Shikon, making a wish, starting over? When Kagome crawls out of the week on her shrine, she finds that things aren't as she remembered leaving them. This isn't as simple as her wish altering her world... this is the Shikon sending her to an alternate world... worth superpowers!?

Pairing: Kagome/?

"-ouldn't be able to get into U.A. it's unrealistic. You even asking about this school isn't in character for you—"

Kagome tapped a finger on her desk. A pattern of rapid tapping that made her look more irritated than she was. Her mom was running the statistics of her getting into U.A. when Kagome had clearly never shown any interest in the school before.

That was so weird.

To Kagome, she couldn't imagine what she was like in this world before she crawled out of the well. Her mom had no recollection of the well or her travels 500 years into the past. As if it hasn't happened... so then, the Kagome of this world, what happened to her? Did she just disappear when Kagome showed up?

"Kagome, are you listening?"

Souta peered around the corner, some kind of yo-yo in his hand was sending off sparks every time he sent it spinning. Kagome glanced at him, then the yo-yo, then back at her mom. "You're saying not to try."

"I'm saying that your chances of getting in are below average. The numbers don't lie. You're simply unmotivated. However, there are other Hero schools, you don't have to get into the number one Hero school in the world."

Nodding, Kagome watched her mother relax and type on her laptop, running more figures as she adjusted numbers here and there. "I'll get into U.A."

"What!?" Rai stared ahead at Kagome. Souta laughing at their mother's internal struggle. "How?!"

"I... have... no idea. I'll figure it out as I go."

Leaving her mom and brother in the kitchen, Kagome made her way back upstairs to her room. Ah... her room was... insane. Not the most important part of her new life, not at all, but still, it had been the first thing she'd noticed to have really changed that day. The day she'd come home. The day Kagome had understood, nothing would ever make sense again.

ONE WEEK AGO

"Do you think you'll ever come back?"

Staring at the well, Kagome broke her gaze to turn it back towards her friends. A sad smile on her lips. She didn't think she needed to answer that question, they knew this would be the last time she saw them. Kneeling down, Kagome lifted Shippou into her arms in a hug. "You'll be good?"

"I'll be good, and I'll take care of Inuyasha."

"Hah!?"

"Of course, you will,"

"The hell?"

Laughing, she brought her eyes to Inuyasha who quickly looked away from her. Sango and Miroku moved in close to Kagome, bringing their arms around her, she buried her head in Sango's shoulder as they hugged her. She couldn't imagine her life without them. She couldn't even begin to think about a future where they wouldn't be there for her, with her. What point was going home if her family wasn't around? Ah...that's right, it all boils down to where her home was. Time-wise, her home was down the well, five hundred years in the future. That was her home. That's where she belonged. Kagome looked up from Sango's shoulder, meeting Inuyasha's eyes. He held a hand out as Sango and Miroku pulled back from her. She took it, letting him pull her up and into his arms.

"You take care of yourself too, ya hear?"

"I will. I'll miss you guys."

"..." he took in one final inhale of her scent, memorizing it, before letting her go.

The walk to the well lasted barely half a minute, yet it felt like death row. From where she now sat on the well's lip, she could see Sesshoumaru standing in the distance, in his arms, Rin was waving to her. A small smile found her feeling a little bit stronger. Kagome raised her hand and gave her a short wave before letting gravity take her home. The trip home started off normal, before it wasn't. The Shikon around her neck began cracking. No longer glowing, it had lost that glow a few days ago when she made a wish on the jewel. A wish to help humanity continue to thrive and survive whatever challenges may come their way. A wish that could/would last throughout time. Her wish granted humanity the gift of adaptability.

When the jewel cracked and began to turn to a crystalized dust right before her eyes, Kagome couldn't help but reach out and grab it. She watched with apprehension, the dull pink sand-like substance slipped through her fingers before vanishing.

"What? Wait, no...no!" It had been all that she had left of the past. Looking around desperately, the well's aura began to shift, swirling from the dark and deep blue that had glittered with stars from timeless magic to a familiar glowing pink that was reminiscent of the Shikon's glow. What wasn't familiar was the sparking cyan that ran up and down the length of her limbs before climbing up along her neck and face. Tremors chased chills and Kagome screamed at a sudden shock of pain.

Vaguely making out a strange circle of broken circles that looked more like a kid's maze with no blockades. Kagome watched it glow with the same sparking cyan. Not sure what else to do, she reached out, her fingers phasing through the lines before everything went black.

"H-hello?"

A couple of seconds passed, and light came back. Kagome peered up the stone well and relaxed. She was okay. She was... wait. Light? Climbing out of the well, her eyes widened. There was no well shack. 'Calm down, Kagome, it's a small change, it's okay.' One foot, then the next. "I need to change." Running inside, she made her way upstairs and looked for her family as she did. Wherever they were, they weren't in the house.

Kagome tried to come up with a word or two to describe her room. Spacious and fully equipped came to mind. Her walls despite being a medium grey color were lit up with neon hexagon panel RGB wall lights. There were signs and pictures decorating her walls. One was neon pink, blue, and green game controller that was lit up over her bed, basic as it was. The others were more...a show of her inner working?

A Galaxy backdrop with outlined white font. The words I GOT MY GAME ON gave way to a person Kagome didn't recognize. JUST FIVE MORE MINUTES... not wrong, but not wall-worthy. LOADING with a half-charged battery next to it was right beside her bed. EAT, SLEEP, GAME, REPEAT, and finally, the last one read I'M ON THE NEXT LEVEL.

Beside her bed was a tall lamp which was in the shape of a black rectangular box with cutouts of signs and symbols. Symbols Kagome recognized and yet... wasn't sure how. The glow of an alien green color came from within the lamp. On the wall, there was a large screen mounted, below was a desk where hidden from sight were a set of complex computers that gave off cyberpunk aesthetics.

Attached to the desk was a trifecta of monitors for more comfortable gaming. Lining the wall were consoles connected to the much larger monitor while the smaller monitors were for PC games only.

Walking into the middle of her room, she gave the large pink game chair a spin and sat down on her bed. Watching it rotate in her room, a headset lying on the seat with cat eats accentuating it. "What the hell?"

"Kagome! Come help with the groceries!"

She left her room and ran downstairs.

"What are you wearing?" Souta frowned, "that looks like the U.A. uniform."

"A poorly made version of the U.A. uniform..." Rai moved over and looked the outfit over, "Can you get fined for copyright?"

'What?' Kagome smiled awkwardly, "thought I'd see what it looked like... in case...I tried to get in?" Was that even a school she could attend?

Her mom and brother stared at her, then they both broke out laughing.

PRESENT-DAY

That was a week ago and since then, Kagome had done nothing but research that school... in her downtime? She had an indescribable urge to game now, so she did a lot of that too. Then she was also still in middle school apparently? Oh... let's not forget how she wasn't seventeen anymore. That pissed her off. Seventeen going on fourteen... like once wasn't enough.

"Hey, hey! Fucking aye, dusty, you took out our tank!"

"You'll thank me later."

Kagome rolled her eyes, her fingers tapping along the keyboard in rapid-fire succession. In another world, Kagome wouldn't have had a clue what she was doing, but right here, right now? "Get res on Tokio! Dusty, you've got space to annihilate the incoming hive? I'll cover you!"

"Keep those spells coming!"

Her eyes followed a nasty-looking beast with wings and sharp teeth, looking at the way it blasted their wayward tank, Tokio, she growled when Tokio charged in the way of Dusty's attack. "Fuck, Tokio, you got rocks in your head!?"

"Fuck you, Miko! I've got these gateway fuckers, just get off my asscrack and keep on riding Dusty's dick!"

"WHOOOA!"

"Off with his head!"

"I'm not resing again, am I?"

"Nice kill, did y'all see the way his head flew into the acid pit?"

"Guys focus! We just lost our tank, let's regroup and dominate the next hive! We're on wave eight, two more after this one!"

"We really gonna say that we "lost" our tank?"

"Our queen has silenced the Neanderthal!"

Souta watched his mom fret in the kitchen. Kneading dough as she worked it into twists and laid them on a sheet. "You all good, mom?"

"Your sister, did she ever talk to you about wanting to be a hero?"

"No?"

"It makes no sense. I was sure she'd mentioned wanting to go into Information Security..."

"I guess she changed her mind." He didn't see what the big deal was. His sister was always thinking faster than he could keep up, just lately, it's been a bit more scattered.

"I'm out, guys."

"Later!"

Placing the headset on a high-tech mannequin head situated on her desk, Kagome yawned and stretched her limbs out. "Mama!" She yelled, standing and running downstairs to the living room where her mom sat watching a rom-com. "I'm going out for a bit."

"Mm," Rai didn't even look up from her show.

Raising a brow, Kagome huffed and grabbed her shoes. She was out the door by the time her mom snapped out of it and yelled out for specifics. Far too late. Out the house, down the walk, past the fence line. Kagome had places to go, no one to see, faces to scout, and people to meet! Her phone told her it was almost four in the afternoon. The library was her first stop.

"History?"

"History is upstairs, are you looking for pre-quirked history or recent history?"

"Both? Also, the media section?"

"Movies or news?"

Kagome smiled at the needle-nosed librarian, "both."

"Movies, Music, Audio Books, and the works are all around the corner here," pointing in the direction as she spoke, "for newspapers, magazines, and news recordings, you'll find those in that room behind you. The kiosk is there to help you locate articles by topic, date, names, and other filters." The librarian held a hand up to stop her from walking away, "nothing in that room can be checked out due to the delicacy of the media."

"That's fine... but I would like a library card." The process to sign up for a library card was thankfully just as painless as Kagome remembered. She was an honorary holder of a Kyushu Library Card! "Oh...!"

"Yes?"

"Any study guides for U.A?"

"The entrance exam changes every year to keep up with the educational system, however, all of our study guides can be found upstairs in the Textbook section under Exam Study Guides."

"Thank you!"

Me: Chapter One!
