Kagome hopped on the bus back home, it would be some time before she got back home but she didn't complain. Her cousin was a drunk and Kagome had to basically babysit her. And who doesn't enjoy babysitting a grown woman. . . Kagome thought a but irritably, but then again she was family and that meant that she had to stand by her side no matter what . . . too bad. Kagome rested her head against the window of the bus and watched to scenery change rapidly, he eyes flicked violently instinctively trying to follow the the scenery as the bus passed but at 60 miles an hour. Her forehead became cool against the glass and the sun was beginning to set. Her eyelids began to get heavy until she couldn't hold them back and they closed.

There was a bright flash of light and she was standing in what seemed to be a cloudy darkness with no floor to see but still there.

There were so many faces. So many eyes, so many expressions.

She saw dogs and cats, she saw girls and guys and trees.

All these things and people were circling her wildly. It made her dizzy. Kagome whipped her neck trying to catch a good look at each of these people and faces. But she couldn't. Then the pain in her neck returned, it was so powerful that it crippled her down to the floor. The fog that surrounded her began to enclose as did the figures that were around her spinning. The fog touched her skin and it burned.

"Ahh!" Kagome screamed! She was on her knees hunched over trying to hold herself as tight as she possibly could. The fog still got closer and closer, it touched her once more.

"Ahh!" She screamed again this time tears accompanied her shrieks.

The fog enveloped her completely and she felt like she was on fire. It was so painful that she couldn't scream, the sound had been knocked out of her. Her mouth was open as if she was screaming but there was only dead silence. Her neck was whipped back and she began to sweat profusely. Her skin began to start burning off of her, this fog was going to kill her!

She woke up and was still on the bus. Her head had slid all the way to the bottom of the window and her stop was coming up. She stood up and was wobbly. . . . I feel like I'm dieing . . . ugh! My stomach!! Kagome kept walking down the aisle and exited the bus. Holding on to a stop sign she tried to compose herself, she went pale, pasty even. "What's going on with me?" Kagome asked herself as beads of sweat drip from her forehead to her neck. Slowly but surely she took a step and began to go forward. She was halfway down the street when she collapsed.

"Oh my God!" Somebody screamed, that's all Kagome heard before she blacked out.

The man had short spiky brown hair and was wearing a black suit. "Miss wake up! Miss!" The man held Kagome in his arms gently, no one that walked by or drove by seemed to care that Kagome had collapsed and looked deathly ill in the middle of the sidewalk, they just walked around her. The man searched her pockets for her wallet but with no intentions of robbing her. He opened it and found her ID, unfortunately though he could tell this was outdated because her address was from another city. The man picked her up and took her to a near by bench, There were no phones near by and he didn't have his cell phone. The one day I forget to charge it! He stayed there with her for another ten minutes when Kagome started to flutter her eyes open, she was still pasty, not as pasty but pasty none the less. "Ma'am, are you okay, you look really sick and you past out on the sidewalk. . ."

Kagome was so confused. . . I past out? What time is it? "Thank you sir for helping me. What time is it?" Kagome asked, trying to keep her consciousness, she felt like she was going pass out again. "Ma'am I don't think the time is the issue here, where do you live? Let me walk you. . ." Kagome looked at the man, he was so kind, everybody else in this city was to busy to even stop and tell her where a street was.

"Thank you sir, you're very kind" Kagome said impressed and thankful that this man traveled this street as she fell.

"No problem, whats your name?"

"Kagome"

"Well Kagome lets get you home?"

Kagome nodded and tried to get up but her legs were too weak and she almost toppled over. The man thankfully though caught her. "Wow there, lean on me. There we go." The man put Kagome's arm on his shoulder and hoisted her up, taking on most of her weight.

"Your very strong, I'm very fortunate."

"Hey God's will put me here. I usually drive but I thought I'd walk today seeing as it was such a beautiful day and look what happened."

"Yes, of course. Take a left up ahead" Kagome instructed and the man nodded. Kagome looked up at the man for a quick second so he wouldn't notice. Wow, he's very handsome . . . Kagome could feel blush coming up but soon it went away thankfully. They took another step and that's when Kagome started seeing spots. She was loosing it again. "Wow, come one Kagome stay with me." The man pleaded with her but to no avail. Kagome's consciousness was now in a away that she would come in fro a couple seconds and then out for a couple of seconds.

The man crouched and shifted Kagome onto his back This is the last time that I walk to work. The man thought as he continued down the street with the lady on his back, and of course everyone around him was much to busy to care. He looked around for anyone who might have a chance of knowing where this girl lived or someone that knew her or would care enough to stop and help him. Then he saw a girl with long brown stringy hair wobbling down the street.

"Hey Kagome, I'm going out okay, bye" It was Momoiro. Her speech was slurred and she seemed very drunk. As she walked away the man called after her.

"Excuse me miss! Miss!" Momoiro turned around and grinned at him, though he was sure she was trying to smile but considering her current state the only thing she could manage was a grin.

"Yes?" She started to giggle for no reason.

"Do know this girl?"

"Yes I do that's my Kagy-Wagy!" Momoiro started laughing at this point trying to hold it in but in trying to hold in the laugh she let out the spit.

"Okay, well, she seems to be ill so maybe you should take her home . . ?" The man hinted at and Momoiro stopped laughing and looked at him confused then got a look
of enlightenment.

"Oh your right," Momoiro started and the man sighed "she lives on the top floor apartment of that apartment building, apartment number Q9 bye!" Momoiro said and skipped away, the man stood there dumbfounded. Please tell me that, that wasn't this girl's mother. . . The man simply sighed and continued to take the girl home, at least now he knew where she lived.

He approached the apartment building and climbed into the elevator. Once reaching the top floor he took her to her apartment, he turned the door and thank to goodness it was unlocked. he brought her inside and put her on the couch, he didn't know which room was hers and he was getting tired so down she went. Once she was down he looked through the cabinets for some type of medicine and found nothing, not even anything for headaches . . . "I guess these people are very healthy for the most part." He heard Kagome begin to stir and went over to her.

"Hey there, how are you feeling?" He asked her

"Okay, not great but better I suppose."

"Do you want me to call an ambulance?"

"No, I'm okay, I'll just rest."

"Okay, well a girl the I think is mother told me that she was going out, thought I should tell you. . ." The man said followed by an awkward silence. He was about to get up and leave when Kagome grabbed his sleeve.

"Wait, what is your name?"

"Chokichi."

"How fitting" then she lost consciousness.

Kagome woke up a couple hours later to find herself alone. "That man . . ." Was all Kagome said, she wished that he hadn't left, he seemed like good company but alas he probably had a family or something to return to where she was here by herself; this was the first time she ever doubted her decision to move way.

Maybe it was a mistake. . . No! I need this, plus ill learn responsibility this way! Yeah. . .

She slowly got up and made herself something to eat, basically what they had for breakfast. Tomorrow she had worked and didn't want miss her fist day regardless of her
health, I mean, what kind of impression of her does that make?! She stood up and was a little wobbly, she looked at her watch and saw that it was 5 in the morning meaning she had slept through the rest of the day, the while night and some of the morning. She walked to the kitchen, ate and returned to the couch in an attempt regain her barrings.

Kagome arrived at her job in a timely manner. Her cousin never showed up but then again, she was a mature adult who should be able to take care of herself. Kagome stood in the middle of the nursery, she had been working all day taking care of babies which she thought were the most adorable beings on the planet, and they all seemed to bond to her pretty well. Whenever she picked one of them up they would instantly start laughing and giggling. But now all of the babies had been picked up and they were about to lock up but Kagome was still inside.

"Kagome I'm locking up." The secretary called out to her.

"Just lock it from the outside and I'll just leave, I want to clean up back here a bit before I leave."

"Kay, bye see you tomorrow!"

Kagome looked around and saw that she still needed to wash the bottles and pacifiers. When she started walking to the trolley that had said things she started to feel bad again, like when she was on the bus the previous day. No, not again. Kagome hunched forward and clutched her stomach. She felt her heart rate drop as she broke out in a cold sweat and became weak. It felt as if someone was gutting her. Suddenly her pants light touch was too tight, her stomach became very sensitive. She let out one tear and fell to the ground in pain. Am I dieing?! Suddenly there was a flash of light and Kagome lay on the floor but not as she was before.

Her clothes suddenly shrunk as she had. Kagome was now an infant lying on the floor. She was a baby with jeans and a patterned shirt. Kagome looked around confused, after all here was an infant that in a room by herself, she should be confused. She crawled, she crawled and crawled, and as she got to the door she kept trying to crawl through but was stopped by the glass. Suddenly this figure approached from the inside and opened the door, letting her outside, the figure promptly left as well into the night, never to be seen again.

Kagome crawled well through the night, she had the energy of an adult but in the body of a baby. Also she wasn't really going anywhere but something told her or drove her to crawl. The night got darker and Kagome kept crawling. Her hands were beginning to bleed but her hands were numb. She kept crawling, she crawled for hours until she reached this trail in a park where she just collapsed. Her hair was short and wispy, Kagome reverted to an infant and after crawling for hours her body gave out.

It was 6 in the morning. A beautiful woman was running in the park. She had dark violet hair and it was very bouncy(even without her running). Her T-shirt hung loosely on her body. Her sneakers hit the pavement in time to the music from her mp3 player. She had her eyes closed at this point but when she opened she nearly fell.

"Oh my gosh!" The woman screamed as she screeched to a halt. She crouched down and picked up the baby.
