Only a Memory
Chapter Three
Kame and Toki sat next to eachother on the bench outside of the hospital. Toki had been released forty five minutes ago. Kame had bought her a balloon. His girlfriend, Tsubame, was standing in front of them, looking incredibly crushed. Kame was trying to talk to her.
"It's not like I'm going to be gone forever," he said. "I'll be back."
Toki blocked them out of her head. All she wanted was a little bit of... peace. She had a feeling she wasn't going to get that.
They suddenly heard a car horn. They're grandmother parked right in front of them. Despite her age, she jumped out and ran over to them.
"I'm so glad to see you all!" she said, embracing Toki, then Kame. "Let me help you put your things in the back." With that, she took Toki's suitcase. Kame picked up his and followed her. He came back and picked up his sister, taking her to the back seat. Toki's medicine still made her dizzy, though this was her last day on it. She was thankful that it made her drousy as well. All she wanted to do was sleep. And as Kame and Tsubame said their goodbyes, she did just that.
She didn't wake up until the next morning. She sat up and looked around. It took awhile for her to figure out where she was. Then she remembered when she was little and she went to her grandmothers house all the time. She was in her mothers old room. It was very simple, and it didn't have the glamor it had when Kagome was a teenager, but it was very comfortable, and Toki liked it.
She looked through her bags and, though it took some work seeing as how Kame had packed it, found a fresh change of clothes. After getting dressed, she made her way downstairs, her stomach making exotic noises. Her grandmother spotted her immediately.
"Oh, you're awake," she said. "I was concerned that you slept so much, but I guess you were just tired." She passed her some breakfast. Kame was already stuffing his face. He looked at his grandmother.
"So," he said. "What's there to do around here?"
The woman shrugged. "Your father asked me to have you stay on the grounds, and I'm afraid there's not as much to do around here. Your uncle will be home at five, though. I know you haven't seen him in awhile."
Toki finished her food and their grandmother started doing the dishes. The sibling went outside. Kame kicked a rock. "This sucks." He went over and sat by the big tree in the yard. That tree gave him a very strange feeling. He dicided to ignore it, thinking it was probably just his imagination anyways.
Toki looked over at a shed thing. She tilted her head. "I don't remember very well, but isn't there a well in there?"
Kame looked over. "Uh, I think so. It's been a long time, so I don't know. All I know is that we weren't supposed to go in there, but that's about it."
Toki bit her lip. "But we were little back then. Maybe things are different now."
Kame stood up. "So what? You want to go exploring?"
Toki smiled and walked over to the building, opening the door. She walked in, Kame right behind her. They walked down the stairs and looked down as far as they could into the well. They looked at eachother. Toki bit her lip. "How deep do you think it is?"
Kame shrugged. "Why don't you jump in there and find out?"
Toki crawled into the well. "How about I climb down and find out?"
Kame rolled his eyes. "I'm coming with you, idiot."
About half way down, Toki slipped.
"Auahhh!"
"You idiot!" Kame pushed of the wall and dived under his sister, determined to take the impact. However, when they landed, it was as if they were landing on a bed of feathers. Both sat up.
Toki looked up. "OK, what's the scientific explanation?"
Kame shook his head. "I don't have one."
Toki took a deep breath. "Lets get out of here."
Kame stood up and grabbed a vine. "Just don't fall this time."
Toki just stared wide eyed at her brothers hand. Kame foze.
"What is it?"
Toki looked at his face. "Call me crazy, but there were no vines anywhere a minute ago."
Kame rolled his eyes. "Come on, let's get out of here."
When they climbed out, neither one knew how to explane how they had gotten in the middle of some forest.
Kami looked at his sister. "I definately don't have an explanation for this." He stood in front of her.
Toki tugged on his shirt. "Isn't that the tree?" she asked, pointing. They both ran over.
Kame scratched his head. "Where are we?"
"Why are you asking me?" Toki asked.
"Who are you?"
The siblings jumped and turned arould to see a very wierd creature. He was wearing a strange kimono. He was tall and had long red hair. And if they weren't mistaken, the creature had a fluffy red tail as well. He stared at them suspiciously. Kame stepped in front of his little sister. "What are you? A fox man?"
The creature sneered. "Something tells me you aren't demons." He tilted his head as he noticed Toki's clothing. His eyes widened. "Come with me."
Kame took a step back. "No."
The creature glared. "I don't know who you are, but I know where you are from. You are from the other world."
Toki gripped her brothers shirt. "The other world?"
The creature shrugged. "More accurately, the future. You must come with me. The village is gone."
Kame looked at him suspiciously. "Village?"
The creature kept staring at Toki. "You look so much like her... who are you?"
Toki went for it. "My name is Toki. This is my brother, Kame. We..." she looked at the well. "We were at our grandma's house..."
Kame shot her a quieting glare. He looked at the creature. "Where are we? How the hell did we get here?"
The creature looked at the well, and then back at the siblings. "You came through the well. But that would..."
Suddenly, he was in font of Toki.
"Hey!" Kame said.
The creature looked at her closely. "What is... your mothers name?"
Toki stepped behind her brother. "Why do you want to know?"
"I'm not going to hurt you. Please. Answer my question."
Toki bit her lip. What could this creature do with a name? Not to mention the name of a missing person...
"Kagome."
The creatures eyes widened. "She... where is she?"
Kame snapped. "She's missing, OK? We don't know where she is! The accident makes it look like she's..."
He stopped himself.
The creature smiled. "Well, Toki, you look just like her. My name is Shippo."
