By: "cyberblader'
Note: In this chapter I used some names of gods and goddesses in Greek and Roman Mythology… but I have their meanings after this chapter…
On our last chapter, Kagome is back to her own world and her memories in that world are gone so she lives again as a natural person. During her staying in their house, she heard a voice that calling her everyday and every night, up till now she heard the strange voice in her head. In school, a guy who transferred yesterday in her school his name is Kairi. The color of his hair, eyes and the way he walk are familiar to Kagome. And when Kairi talks to her, her face is turns to red and she didn't know why it is happened to her. After the class, Kairi ask a favor to Kagome.
"What is it?" Kagome asked.
"Can you take me to the principal's office?" Kairi replied.
"Why? Is something wrong?" Kagome asked again.
"No, I just give to the principal…" Kairi answered.
"Okay… Let's go!" then Kagome walks with Kairi to the principal's office. And when they are in the front of the office, Kairi told Kagome that she can go back to the classroom and he will go inside.
While Kagome is walking, a voice is speaks to her again; telling, that she shouldn't left Kairi for a second and Kagome asks the peculiar voice "Why?" but she remember why she is talking to that voice so she continue her walk. At the afternoon, she saw the big old tree and something or someone just came out to her mind a some-like a body that wears a red kimono and has a white long hair and then Souta, his brother, call her to help him at the chores in the temple.
Kagome told to her brother that she would continue the remaining chores and go back in the house to fix his homework. While Kagome is sweeping the ground, she saw the well that where she fell and it still open. The voice that Kagome hear everyday, now she hears inside of the well, and then she walks closer to the well, but two inch more she will reach the well then Souta call her because she had a phone call from Kairi.
"Kairi, why did you call?" Kagome asked.
"I just want to say 'thank you,'" Kairi answered.
"For what?" She asked.
"For taking me to the principal's office" Kairi answered again.
"By the way, what is that paper?"
"Uh… That paper? It's my previous performance on my previous school"
"Oh… Uhm, Kairi let's talk tomorrow because I have something to do"
"Okay… Bye!"
"Bye!" then they hang up.
After that, Kagome return to the well but when she came back she didn't hear the voice in the well. She looks at the well but there's no one inside of it. At night, she heard the voice again.
"You strange voice! Who are you?!" Kagome asked.
"I'm a friend from your lost memories," the peculiar voice answered.
"A Friend? Lost memories? What are you talking about?" Kagome asked again.
"On your lost memories your friends are waiting for you to come back"
"Come back? I… I don't know what you're talking about!"
"You will… And all of your memories from that world will be back to you… I'm done to my mission and I will say 'goodbye' to you" then the voice is gone.
"That world? What is 'that world'! Please come back!"
But the voice didn't respond it proves that its gone, still Kagome is confuse especially when the voice told her: 'On your lost memories your friends are waiting for you to come back!' because of thinking about that she didn't notice that she fell asleep. At her dream, she saw the tree that stands on their yard and a boy has an arrow attached to his heart, and then she comes closer, she looks at the boy because the boy has not mad face she pulled the arrow. And the boy's heart is beating and he wakes up. Then the boy called her name 'Kagome', she shocked since they don't even know each other and the boy add up, 'I'm glad that you come back… I've been waiting for you for a long time Kagome' because she thinks the boy is weird she run in the midst of the jungle. On a root of a tree, she sat and a girl was showed up. That girl is wearing a ninja suit, and she told:
"Kagome! I'm happy that you come back… I'm sure that the others will be happy that you came back to this world!" because Kagome didn't know also the girl she ran again and sit on a rock, then a monk comes towards her.
"Kagome, is that you? Great! You're here, we can now go to our journey with our friends!" the monk said.
"What journey? And who are you!" Kagome said.
"The journey that we fight the devils and monsters!?" the monk answered.
"Devils? Monsters? AHHH!!!" then she ran again in until she fell down because of a root and then she saw a shadow of a boy and a kitten.
"Kagome! Yehey! You come back! We can now start our journey!" but she saw it a little boy who has a tail like to the wolf and a two- tailed kitten and she said.
"WHAT ARE YOU A FREAK?!" then she ran again and again and again until she notice that the sky is becoming dark and it will rain. She's looking for a cave to stop until the rain stops.
When the rain stops a voice of a girl from the woods is crying, then Kagome look for that girl, after that the girl is sitting besides of a lake then the girl talks to her with the feeling that the girl is she.
"Be careful to him! Just be careful or else your life will be in danger!" then the girl vanished before the eyes of Kagome.
"To who?"
At the morning, while Kagome is walking she is thinking about the girl said in her dream 'be careful to him! Just be careful to him or else your life will be in danger!' and then Kairi came up.
"Good morning, Kagome!" Kairi said.
"Good morning, too!" Kagome said."Uhm… Sorry for yesterday" she added.
"Yesterday…?" Kairi thinking about what happened yesterday until he knew it. "Oh… yesterday! It's alright."
"Really? I hang up the phone… And I think that you want to talk to me something" Kagome said.
"Yes… I wanted to ask you if…" before Kairi finish what he supposed to said Kagome's head is ache with no reason. "Kagome, are you alright?" Kairi asked yet Kagome's head is still aching then someone talked in her mind a voice of a girl.
"Be careful! Be careful or else your life will be in danger" then the pain is gone.
"Are you alright Kagome?" Kairi asked again.
"Yes, I'm alright… Let's go before we late in class" Kagome said.
While both are walking to their classroom the principal calls Kairi and he wants to talk with him something important. Kagome is confused why is the principal so close with the new student. She followed Kairi and the principal to its office and listen to what they are talking about. Then she heard the voice of principal.
"Kairi, I want you to take her in our place" the principal said to Kairi.
"'Her'? Who is she that Kairi will take to their place?" Kagome said to herself.
"But, it isn't the time that 'he' ordered to us to take 'her' to our place?!" Kairi answered.
"Yes, but 'he' ordered me that as long as you know her you must take 'her' to 'him' that is 'his' new Order!" the principal replied. "Understood?"
"Yes sir!" Kairi riposted.
"You can go back to your class," the principal said.
Then Kagome run to her classroom so that Kairi wouldn't suspect her that she is listening. After that, Kagome is trying to connect with the strange voice that she heard in her mind but the voice didn't respond. The secretary of the principal call Kagome from her class. Then she followed the secretary, when she look at the door she saw a woman whom is a familiar but she didn't know the woman exactly, and then she went inside.
"Good morning, Mr. Principal… Your secretary told me that you want to talk with me something?" Kagome said.
"Oh yes… I just want to ask you, if something is bothering you?" the principal said.
"Uhm… No sir! If you didn't mind, why did you ask that?" Kagome replied.
" I just want to know that you're ready for the competition for next week," the principal said.
"I assumed that I'm in the condition for next week's competition!" Kagome respond.
"Great! And by the way this is Ms. Kagura… She will train you for the competition for next week."
"Good morning Ms. Kagome. I'm gonna tutor you for the competition" Kagura said.
Kagome is starting to introduce herself until the voice came out to her head again and said:
"Beware of the people who are familiar face to you before one of the snake of Medusa will bite you!"
Then Kagome collapsed. When she awake up she is in her house. Kagome didn't know what happened to her but she only remembers what the voice said to her.
It's already Monday morning and the principal and Ms. Kagura is with Kagome. The principal told Kagome that she needs to sign up for their school as the representative and Kagome take a place in the line for signing up. While Kagura and the principal are talking.
"Is it okay that 'he' do his plan on the front of the crowd?" Kagura asked.
"He said that we need to be with Kagome for all the time while the competition is going on," the principal answered.
"But why? And why should I teach that girl? Kairi is at her side? Why Kairi should do this job?"
Before the principal answer Kagome is done for signing up. Then the speaker announces the flow of the program.
"OUR PROGRAM WILL START AT EXACTLY TEN O'CLOCK! PLEASE ALL THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE FIRST SET COMES TO THE STAGE! AND THE SECOND SET OF PARTICIPANTS WILL START AT EXACTLY ELEVEN O'CLOCK!"
"Mr. Principal, I'm in the second batch of the competition… may be I should review more!"
While she is reviewing, Kairi showed up and he asks where is the principal? Kagome answered the principal is outside. Kairi talked to the principal.
"What is the plan?" Kairi said.
"He will attack while she is on the stage and take her to our place" the principal answered. But they didn't know that Kagome heard what they are talking, she feels the fast beat of her heart. Once more the voice came out and said:
"Don't be afraid! The star of Selene will guide your friends where you are! Don't let your fright will take you! Because your Nemesis is truly searching for that in your heart!" then the voice again disappeared. Kagome followed the advice and pretending that she didn't know about.
The second batch of the competition is starting and Kagome's knees are shaking to what will happen to her on the stage.
