Hello Everyone, I know it's been a long, long time and I'm much more of an avid reader than a writer but I wanted to give it a shot. This story will be told in drabbles which are short little blurb-like chapters as I'm sure y'all know. I'll try to be consistent with updating every week. I hope you enjoy!

Kagome turned the small book over in her hands, the bright orange cover almost offensive in its laminated neon. A scoff turned her lips down in wry amusement,

"You need more adventure in your life Kagome. You can't just whittle away in your bedroom studying all the time." Ayame pushed the little book further into her hands, perhaps sensing Kagome's apprehension. "Just give it a try- it's a really good story! Just the first book and if you don't like it you don't have to read any more; but I have the whole series if you do!"

So maybe she had been spending a bit too much time with her studies since her return from the Sengoku period. It was a nice distraction, and she kind of needed one right now.

Later, when her feelings are less sharp and biting; she would take out the memories, and turn them over like precious things. Examine them, and remember them with all the fondness and joy they deserved.

Besides, she really did need to catch up. If she had any hoping of making a life for herself in her own time she needed an education. It wasn't like she had any other option. A choice born from necessity, something she was intimately familiar with.

"Naruto..." She read the cover aloud. The thought of the ramen themed name brought a small smile to her face. She placed the book down on her desk and stretched her arms into the air until her back popped. Maybe a break would be nice, and the characters on the cover did look interesting.
"Adventure indeed!" she huffed to herself. If only Ayame knew the half of it.
