It's dark ... everything around me is dark, I look around several times, walk in circles, but everything is dark, as if the world has been swallowed up ...
The light is missing ... everything is just dark ... you know how it is when you stand in a place where you can not see at all because there is simply no light?
I notice how I fall to the ground exhausted ... there is a candle, it lights up and seems to illuminate everything, I look in their direction and its light seems to dazzle me, but when I see the owner of the candle it just runs my back freezing cold down ...
I only see someone who is dressed in a strange robe ... but the very presence of this person scares me, as if I had seen them before ...
"Higurashi ... HIGURASHI!"
I hear a voice ... slowly I open my eyes and have to face the inevitable reality ... my math book.
"Higurashi, are you sleeping in my class again?
Since I was once again the most lucky of all, I saw my math teacher over the edge of my math book, who didn't seem very happy about my spiritual break ...
"I ... I didn't sleep much last night because I had to catch up on so much material, I'm really sorry!" I apologized with a pleading smile, but it didn't seem to help, his expression remained unchanged on my tired eyes.
Ding Dong Dang Ding Dang
THAT was my lifesaver in need, again, and my math teacher looked over me to do homework ...
I took a deep breath, that had just gone well again, this teacher was one of the kind who liked to "deliberately" fail students through their final exams, and I had learned so much lately ...
"Kagome ... tell me, is your rheumatism still bothering you?
"Or your cystitis?"As always, the first voices after such a collision with a teacher, my best friends ... without them I would be lost, almost at least ...
"Something like that ... thanks again for taking notes of history ... without you I would be lost ..."
"Oh, not worth mentioning ..."

I could hardly believe it, I had made it, a whole week of school was over and the weekend was just around the corner ... and with him certainly a whining Hanyou who would drag me off immediately without arguing ...
I packed my things and walked down the usual boring corridor with my friends, where ... he was "normal" that was actually something new in my life ...
Since I first traveled to medieval Japan, every bit of everyday school life has ultimately become abnormal, especially since, thanks to a certain person, I was only rarely able to enjoy it ...
"How is your mangy friend, Kagome? Is he still bothering you?"
"You could say the longer he doesn't see me, the more aggressive he becomes ..."
The two startled, as always when I told them about Inu Yasha, the Hanyou who distracted me from my normal life ...
It sure sounds brutal when I talk about him, but the two react rather calmly to him, that's just how they are ... that's why they are probably my friends too ...
"Kagome, are you coming for a drink?"
I shake my head, without hearing my reason, they are already saying goodbye to me. That's something I particularly like about them ... they just believe me without my having to come up with another excuse for them ...
I walk alone the short way to the shrine, my home, while I breathe the stuffy air of the cars ... The air in the other world is fresh ... so without pollutants ...
Again .. I did it again, like so often. I compared the two worlds, mine and Inuyasha's ... and, as so often, I only found negative qualities for my world ...I just looked at my feet until suddenly a strange gust of wind tore me from my thoughts. I immediately looked around and saw the people who seemed to be walking next to me, they were all standing still, in one place ... A dog was floating in the air, trying to catch a frisbee, it was as if time had simply stood still ...
"The time has come ... so far as the currents of time are torn apart ..."
I heard the voice that sounded to my right ...
When I turned my head to her I felt my body freeze ...
This person in strange clothes ... the one I had already seen in my daydream in math class ... she ... smiled ...
"Don't be afraid ..."
And then she was wounded again, a blink later and the crowd moved as smoothly as before. I rubbed my eyes a few times before I finally realized that I was just exhausted with my nerves ... a whole week of school must have been too much ...Why should I suddenly see strange beings in my world ... SUCH incidents only happened with Inu Yasha ...
Her words worried me, but as was the case with all bad things, you always tried to talk yourself out of it and to suppress it ...
At least I prayed this meeting was just my imagination ...
