Author's note: I originally published this story with an original concept, however throughout the months that I've came back to this story I realized that I wanted to do another plot twist. I really do hope you enjoy this story as much as I enjoy writing it!

Mind Games

001: Prolouge

Number of men who are waiting to get in my pants: Practically the whole upper west side of Manhattan.

Number of men who are aren't complete douchebags: Half of them.

Number of men who won't be scared shitless when they learn about 'I' (and would still want to date me): Nada.

Kagome scribbled in her journal. Taking a deep breath, she stared outside the window as delicate snowflakes fell from the sky. The ivory stained curtains adorned the five feet high window; the only window in her room. It was the beginning of winter and Kagome still hadn't gotten the rest of her clothes for blizzard weather from her parents' house yet. It was only two weeks ago that her parents finally let her leave the nest. A very comfy nest completed with flat screen TV's, indoor pools, and 24 hour maids on staff. After the graduating with a degree in Business Administration from one of the elite private colleges in New York City, her parents decided to let her rent an apartment complex right across from Central Park West.

Which is also right across from her Psychologist.

"Why do you write always write in that diary of yours?" A masculine voice startled her. Slamming her journal shut, she tucked it back into her bookshelf. "You're 22 and is still relying on a diary to vent your thoughts?"

"Shut it, I," Kagome whispered to herself. "I thought you won't be waking up until another hour or so."

"I see you keep track of my sleeping schedule now. The sun actually rose an hour ago. Not that you would know if an apocalypse would happen right outside your window right now." Kagome felt a smirk coming from his words.

"Jerk," Kagome snapped at the air. "Don't you have work to do?"

"I actually do, but my assistants are currently taking care of that." Kagome felt playfulness in his tone of voice.

And this was solely the reason why her parents insisted her to move next to her shrink. Not that she goes anyway, she made a deal with the Psychologist that as long as he gets his money, she wouldn't have to attend any sessions. After the freak accident that happened during her trip to the Bahamas with Ayame and Sango, I's voice has been stuck in Kagome's mind 24/7. During the return of the ship from the Bahamas to New York City, there as an unexpected storm that took everyone by surprise. And as luck would have it, everyone had to evacuate the ship…all except Kagome who was taking a shower at the time. One minute she was in the shower butt naked, and the next thing she knew there were flashing red lights and she was underwater. However, when she woke up she was back in New York City and was greeted by I, a mysterious stranger who has entered her consciousness. She knew nothing about him. Zip. Zero. And he practically knows every detail of her life. And that bothered her quite a bit.

"Assistants? Like as in a job?" Kagome spoke out loud, trying to pry information out of him for the umpteenth time.

"Nice try Kagome," I chuckled playfully.

"Why don't you ever tell me anything about you?" Kagome sighed, purposefully avoiding the mirror as she slipped into her pajamas, not knowing if he can see through her eyes or not. If he can hear what she hears, what are the chances that he can see what she sees. Ever since the accident, she has been avoiding mirrors as well. It was quite hard to put mascara on without convulsing your face, and so she gave up make up all together. "Can you…see anything?"

"No Kagome, for the last time I can't see anything you see." I's deep voice filled her thoughts. "Because I told you before, my job is none of your concern. And if you do know what I do, you'll lose interest in me. Don't women like you find mysteriousness in men, sexy?"

A sudden knock came from the door as Kagome sat in front of the mirror. She was more than happy to find out that he couldn't see her through the mirror. If he did, he would probably be frightened by the way she looked every morning. Gliding a paddle brush through her silky raven hair, Kagome was getting ready for bed. "Come in!" She exclaimed, hoping it was loud enough to penetrate the wooden double doors. "You have the sex appeal of a chair," Kagome mumbled as her best friend came in with a huge smile on her face.

"I still don't understand why you would stay cooped up in this apartment when Ayame's having a pre-Christmas celebration at her place." Sango stumbled into the room with a flowing satin red dress on completed with black killer heels. Her lips were stained red, along with her nails. "And there are plenty of yummy guys who are just waiting to be your baby daddy," a huge smile plastered onto her face. The girl was clearly drunk.

"I don't know about that, chairs do get a lot of ass" Kagome heard him chuckle. "She sounds pretty much trashed. How many shots did the girl have?"

"Sango, just because they wave a gargantuan penis in my face doesn't mean that I would screw them in a heartbeat." Kagome rolled her eyes, continuing to brush her long, almost black hair.

"Actually you probably would, considering you didn't have sex for over two years." I teased her; she could have sworn that if he was there in front of her, his tongue would be sticking out at her.

"Yes because me screwing someone with you in my mind is exactly what I need when I make love to someone." Kagome mumbled under her breath. She has contemplated on doing it while he was asleep, but it'll just wake him up in the process. She can just imagine it now. Her and the man of her dreams getting ready to enjoy a night of steamy hot sex, and I's voice would just cloud her mind—and knowing him he'll probably be singing hymns just to kill her sex drive.

"Or I can go along for the ride." I laughed.

And this was exactly why Kagome Higurashi, 22 years old, is without a love life and still a virgin that will most likely die alone.
