Hogo and I sat in the very back of the theater. The movie we were seeing was "When in Rome." It wasn't supposed to be that good and it has been out for forever but that meant that we had the whole theater to ourselves.

I played with the straw of my soda wishing that there were a few more people here. The date was going horribly and it was my entire fault.

Hogo seemed to be able to read my thoughts because he smiled at me. His warm brown eyes melted my guilt away while he said, "I'm having a wonderful time with you."

"Thanks," I sighed as I grasped his hand in mine.

I rested my head against his shoulder trying to shake away the feeling that something wasn't right. We watched the movie it was pretty bad but there were some funny parts to it. I started to relax and enjoy myself. Maybe I had just been over reacting; maybe I was making a big deal over some headaches and one dream. Maybe.

I looked over at Hogo to see that he was watching me. I smiled innocently up at him. He started to lean forward. Crap he was going to kiss me. The usual bubbly feeling that came was replaced by fear. I leaned towards him, our lips met.

One second I was kissing Hogo the next second I was… I had no idea what my mind was showing me. I was looking at big golden eyes, soft dog ears, long silver hair, and a crimson red kimono the same color as the roses. I could almost make out a face, a name.

Then it all disappeared. The image flew from my mind as quickly as it had come on. I couldn't remember what I had just seen. All I was left with was a searing pain in my head and an emptiness in my heart. Whatever I said the pain in my head was before this was a billion times worse.

I pulled away from Hogo. I could barely walk down the stairs. Well I guess I didn't walk, I more of fell. Running out of the theater, I slumped down on the floor and cried.

I felt someone sit beside me. I looked over to see Hogo smiling weakly, pain and rejection written all over his face that only made me cry harder.

"Shh, Kagome, shh," he whispered, "you want to tell me what's going on."

I sighed, taking a deep breath. I knew I owed Hogo an explanation no matter how crazy it seemed. "I … I had this crazy dream last night that I can't remember. I mean I remember only parts of it but it doesn't make since and when I think about it, it feels like I bashed my head in a door. I mean look at my knuckle. I have no idea where I got this bruise. I just woke up with it." I raised my hand so he could see the bruise.

Hogo looked at my knuckle horrified, "Kagome why did you do this to yourself."

I shook my head not looking at him. "You're not getting it. I didn't do this to myself or maybe I did… well that's not the point. The point is I think I'm going insane! I mean my head is killing me at random times. I can't remember things. Just right then, when I kissed you in the theater I saw something… I know I did, but I can't remember what it was. I mean that was only what, two minutes ago. I know this all sounds stupid but I'm scared Hogo, I really am."

I finally looked over at him expecting to see the usual smile on his face ready to reassure me, to make this empty feeling go away but it wasn't there. All I saw was as look on his face that confirmed the fact of me going insane. "Come on Kagome lets go. People are starting to stare." With that he got up and reluctantly held a hand out to help me up. The jester brought a feeling of déjà vu with it.

I got up and tried to hide the pain that he had just caused me. There was an awkward silence between us that seemed to last forever.

"Um I guess I'll go home now," I blurted out not being able to stand the silence.

"I'll walk you there," he stated with no feeling in his voice.

We walked side by side neither of us saying anything. Thoughts whirled around in my head. I had really trusted him and believed in him when I told him everything. I really thought that he would have made it better. The emptiness in my heart had just grown bigger. I wanted to just disappear. I wanted to be free from here.

After fifteen minutes of painful silence, I could finally see the steps up to my house. I wanted to run in there go up to my room and never come out. I probably would have if Hogo hadn't stopped.

"Kagome," he sighed, "uh, I think we should spend some time apart." He didn't look at me instead he seemed very interested in the movie ticket in his hands.

"So you're breaking up with me?" I questioned.

He sighed yet again and looked over at me. Putting his hand under my chin he lifted up my face, kissing my forehead. "Yes I am." And with those few words he walked away.

I just stood there dumbfounded how long I was there I had no idea. I couldn't believe he had just broken up with me.

I walked into the house and started up the stairs in a daze.

A voice came from somewhere down stairs. "How'd the movie go? You were gone for a while."

I can't quite remember what I answered or if I answered at all. The only thing going through my mind was that I had to go upstairs into my room and think.

My bed invited me to sit down on it. I guess what a normal girl would do is text her best friend and have a huge conversation about her break up but from what I found out today I'm not a normal girl.

I sat and thought. Not about Hogo, I was surprised he broke up with me but not hurt. What I thought about was my dream. I tried to remember what it was about. Sadly, all I could remember was breaking my knuckle. The memory seemed weaker and I was afraid that by tomorrow it would be completely gone.

I decided to move on to the next weird occurrence today, the flowers. I tried to think of the red crimson color but to my frustration all I could think of was red roses. It seems as if I was getting worse every second.

I picked up my pillow, pulled it to my face and screamed in it. Throwing the pillow on the floor I walked up to my mirror. To think a few hours earlier I was perfecting myself for Hogo. I was so frustrated and confused and my head hurt! I just didn't know what to do; I just wanted the emptiness in my heart to go away.

Then I relaxed, the emptiness and headache drifted away. This was stupid. I wanted to laugh at myself, I was so stupid. Why was I worried about this, about this stupid dream? It made no since. I should be thinking about Hogo. That was so much more important I mean he had just broken up with me.

I sat back down and pulled out my phone realizing that I hadn't texted like at all today. I decided to text Yuka.

Hey:(, I texted. I drummed my fingers on my dresser impatiently waiting for the reply. There was a nasty bruise on my knuckle.

"Huh," I said aloud. I only had a dim memory of hitting it but not where or when. I didn't care though bruises come and go all the time without me knowing where they were from and anyway Yuka had just texted me back.

What's wrong girl. I smiled to myself thinking about how I was going to respond.

Oh it was terrible! Hogo… Hogo, he broke up with me :'(. While I was waiting for Yuka to text back, I decided to turn on my IPod.

Listening to my IPod I laid on my stomach kicking my legs. It was only Saturday and I had Monday off which meant I could just relax and enjoy being single for the time being. I told Yuka all the drama of the day giving her exact details on how Hogo broke up with me. After an hour of talking about Hogo we began to drift away from the topic.

I was wondering if you wanted to come over tomorrow. I'm going to be throwing a party and the best part is my parents aren't home :)! She texted me.

"Kagome!" My mom yelled from down stairs, "Dinner's ready!"

Of course I do!!! Gotta go, I replied.

I sighed, turning off my IPod and trudged downstairs. Souta was already at the table along with my mom and grandpa.

I sat down and started to zone out Souta while he explained all about his day.

"Kagome… Kagome!" My mom exclaimed.

"Huh," I said with food in my mouth. I looked to see my mom was giving me one of her evil eye looks.

"So how was your day Kagome?" She asked with an edge to her voice.

"Let's see I woke up, went to the movies with Hogo, Hogo broke up with me, I came back home and now I'm eating dinner with my loving family." I said smiling up at her hoping that I had gotten off the hook.

"Oh honey Hogo broke up with you! I'm so sorry," she said sadly.

"Oh I know it sucked pretty bad but it's all good," I said and then remembering what Yuka had said I added, "Yuka invited me to go over to her house for a sleep over, can I?"

"Of course! That will be good for you. You can get your mind off your break up," my exclaimed a little too happily.

I felt kind of bad about lying to her but that was the only way she would let me go over and there was no way I was going to miss that party.

Later, I lay in bed again trying to fall asleep but my mind kept drifting to the idea of the party. I couldn't wait. There was no doubt that there would be liquor there and all the hot guys in the school. I wanted it to be tomorrow already so I could get ready and go.

I kept thinking about the party until drowsiness finally took over and I began to drift to sleep.

While I was asleep I remembered everything.
