Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, I just own the plot and maybe some characters that are invented along the way. I don't own any copyright song, poetry, etc that was used in my fic.

Also about the 'person' who is speaking in the bold. The close thing I would associate the it would be a trickster. He/she can take on any sex or can be sexless; the trickster can be anybody or a nobody. He/she can be beneficial to you but can also ensnare you into a dangerous trap. Basically the trickster is someone who can make or break your life. Therefore, the 'person' is not actually a living figure, so he/she will not be appearing in the story lol

Anyway, exam alert. This means slow or zero updates. Sorry but I have exams throughout the month. But please review! It really motivates me into writing ;p

Whisper No More- Ch 6

No…

Remembrance comes
At the exact moment when present becomes past
Cherishment comes
At the exact moment when something is lost

Kagome placed her left hand on her forehead when she began to feel light-headed. The world was twirling around her as her knees buckled beneath her. Putting her shaky hands on the ground, she tried to push herself back up but failed miserably.

Sitting on the ground, she forced herself to calm down. She closed her eyes and focused on her breathing.

She didn't want to stay in the hospital longer than necessary damn it! Therefore, fainting or getting diagnose as crazy right now was definitely not an option.

Kagome wasn't able to get any sleep last night after Sarah had left. She'd spent the whole night thinking, pondering about her life. Well…actually there weren't much to think about since her memory only started when she was eighteen years old.

Happy times…
Sad times…
Lovers…
Enemies…

None--

She thought about her family: her mother, grandpa, and Souta. There weren't much to consider since she didn't know them well. In fact, she once considered them as mere associates. After all, how can you be close to someone who you didn't see on a daily basis? Her family had sent her to Vancouver not long after her injury. She could finish counting the number of times they had come to visit her for the past eight years with both of her hands. One of the times was when she was marrying Vincent. In return, Kagome had never once gone back to Japan; there wasn't much she could do there. Therefore, she hadn't felt the need to go back. She knew her family cared about her but…no, they weren't close at all.

Her 'friends', who were once her classmates, told her a few things…how she was always absent from school due to her illnesses. Kagome knew that it wasn't true since she hadn't been sick for a long time. There were times when she was forced to pull a few all-nighters and she was still alive. If her body was as weak as her friends had claimed, then she would've been dead. She decided that sickness was her excuse for skipping school.

In compensation--

No worries
No horror
No killing
No death

They'd also told her that there was a man who was seen being with her. He had long silver hair and was wearing a red haori. They weren't able to get a good look at his face because he was always wearing a baseball cap and looking away from them. After hearing this, Kagome had gone around town and nobody fitted that description. Kagome had once thought that maybe she was in an intimate relationship with that man…but he'd never once visit her…

All gone--

It was as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.

Kagome then moved on, thinking of the time when she'd first arrived at Vancouver. How she had to take care of herself when there was no one who she could rely on. She was financially stabled because her family sent the money overseas into her bank account every so often and was willing to pay for her tuitions. But she was all alone…life was difficult for her, especially when she had to learn things all over again.

Gain to lose
Lose to gain

Luckily, she was able to pick things up quickly…probably it was because she'd learned how to perform different things before. She worked hard, refused to let anything hold her down. It took a few years but her hard work paid off, she'd made it into University with the top grades. However, in exchange for her high academic performance, she'd almost spent most of her time locking herself in her small apartment. As a result, she was never good at interpersonal skills…She was happy to be alone and she didn't want to talk to people.

She had friends, but they weren't close either…unlike now. The turning point in her life would be…

When a life dies…
A new life begins--

The time when she met him…

I, Vincent…

Kagome loathed her weak state. Wrapping her arms around her legs, she hugged herself as she rested her chin on her knees.

She had been so dependent on Vincent…

Take thee Vicky to my wedded Wife…

Why! Why did she have to think of him right now? He was gone! There was nothing she could do about it!

To have and to hold from this day forward…

She wanted him to be here right now. She wanted him to be here to hold her in a tight embrace where she could feel his warmth. She wanted him to be here to tell her that everything will turn out to be fine, no matter how bad things are. Most of all, she wanted him to be here and tell her that he didn't die.

Oh god…

For better for worse…

Kagome couldn't contain her tears any longer.

For richer for poorer…

She needed him…

She needed him so bad.

In sickness and in health…

But he wasn't here.

To love and to cherish…

Therefore…

Kagome cried…

Till death us do part—

Where are you?
Can't you hear your woman cry?

Jonathan ran her through a simple body check then he signed the papers that were required for her release. Standing at the doorway of her hospital room, she gave one last look at the place.

Walked down the hallway, she wondered if she would wake up being in that room once again tomorrow.

On her way, she saw Sarah at the phone booth. Well, this weren't a surprise since cell phones weren't allowed to be turned on in the hospital. Therefore, those who wanted to call people; they would have to stick to using public phones. Since her back was facing Kagome, she wasn't' able to tell Sarah's expression.

Thinking that she should tell Sarah that she was released from the hospital, she stood next to her, waiting for Sarah to finish her call. Kagome couldn't help but to pick up some of what Sarah was saying…

"Do you know what you are doing is unfair to her?" Sarah asked but it sounded like a statement. Her tone filled with frustration.

"She's…you can't keep doing that. She's thinking she's…"

"Look," Sarah said firmly as she shifted her position, "she's leaving today, that's final. I don't give a—"

Then Sarah saw Kagome.

The phone slipped from her hands.

It was as if she'd seen a ghost.

Thinking nothing of it, Kagome picked up the phone and handed it to her. Sarah's eyes widened a bit, she quickly grabbed receiver and hung up.

"You startled me Vicky," Sarah said as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"I'm sorry; I just wanted to tell you that I'm leaving today."

Sarah nodded, not saying anything else.

An uncomfortable silence fell between the pair.

"Sarah…" Kagome bit her lower lip, "is there something wrong? If there is, don't be afraid to tell me."

The woman looked at her for a moment; she opened her mouth to speak when…

Then a public announcement was made, calling Sarah to go to a certain room where her service was needed.

Sarah a small laugh, "Well, I better get going. Vicky," Sarah's expression turned serious, "believe in yourself and take care."

Kagome gave a small smile and watched as Sarah turned and left. As Kagome headed toward the elevator, she couldn't help but to think about Sarah's words…

She got a feeling that Sarah was trying to tell her something but brushed it off quickly. If there was something Sarah wanted to tell her, then she would've told her explicitly.

After all, there was no reason for her not to.

Entering the elevator, she waited patiently with others as the machine to descend to ground level. She walked out of the elevator as people pushed past her to enter the elevator.

"Have a nice day, Kagome."

By the time Kagome had jerked her head around, the elevator door had already slid closed…

Kagome sighed before she continued her way. She didn't even know if she really heard it or not. In some ways, she wished that she was seeing or hearing things again…because hallucination was better than some unknown figure speaking to her.

Something is not right
You can feel it in your skin
You can smell it in the air
You can taste it in your mouth
Yet you hear nor see nothing

The silence…
Before the Storm

Brush it off
Ignore it
Pretend it's not there
Hope it'll go away

But what is 'it'?

Curiosity
Wanting to know
Wanting to find out
Wanting to be prepared

Knowledge
Is
Power

Ignorance comes
With a payment
Information comes
With a price

There is no free lunch in the world—
And curiosity kills the cat

The world can be so cruel
Yet compassionate at the same time
And that is life
Live with it…
