Chapter One

Sunlight streamed through the open window of the hospital room 805. Birds chirped happily and one perched itself on the window sill, singing its morning song. The soft beeping of hospital machines droned out the sound of the birds' chirping, but it woke up a teenaged girl from her deep slumber her chocolate orbs reluctantly opened glanced around wearily, panic rising deep within her.

She noticed that she was no longer in a forest, surrounded by trees and hordes of demons, slashing and roaring. She was in a mysterious place, but a safe one, enclosed by bright white walls and surrounded by machines. Where am I? What is this place? The girl thought.

Her memories were a mere memory. She could remember nothing…nothing at all. Her mind was clouded with faint visions, nothing more.

She slowly forced herself up, but she quickly laid back down when an excruciating pain shot through her body from her stomach and her back. The pain was unbearable, and she seemed to be so fragile. But when she looked down at her hands, she bore neither bruises nor scratches. What is this?! Where am I? She thought, completely bewildered.

A woman walked in. The girl assumed that she was the nurse. The nurse was surprised to see her awake, "Ah, so you're awake Miss Kagome," she said in a cheery tone.

At first she didn't see the blonde hair of the nurse. What she saw was the spitting image of her former nemesis and incarnation. "K…Kikyo?!" she exclaimed. Then the illusion disappeared, leaving a woman who definitely looked a lot different than Kikyo.

The woman cleared her throat and was about to say something when she was interrupted by a sudden outburst from Kagome. "Wait! Who are you? And how did you know my name?!" she demanded.

"A young man with white ears atop his head walked in covered with blood, and he told us before he died. And if you didn't know, you are in the hospital of Konohagakure, the Village Hidden in the Leaves," she replied.

At the mention of the man, she turned pale. "Inu…Inuyasha…he died?" The nurse nodded. Kagome bit her lip to keep herself from crying. Well, now at least he got his wish to be with Kikyo, she thought.

"Well, can you tell me why I am hospitalized?" She demanded angrily.

"You have lost a large amount of blood, and you had a hole in your stomach and a gash on your back that will result in being a scar later. We couldn't heal it all the way. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go check on the other patients." She bowed and left Kagome to her misery.

She sighed and sat up, slipping off the covers. The pain had partially gone away, and she slipped on her brown shoes at the foot of the bed. When she stood up, she felt like she hadn't walked for months, which was sort of true. She took a first steps and almost fell flat on her face.

I'm so unstable! Kagome thought balancing herself on the bed post. She tired to get her legs to work again.

As soon as she was able to walk without having to clutch the bed post for support, she limped out of the room and down the hallway. A doctor came from a room and spotted her, "Hey! You shouldn't be up!"

"I've been her too long and it's sickening me!" She snapped. "I am out of here!" Kagome pushed the front door of the hospital open and stepped into the sunshine and fresh air for the first time in two months.

Walking down the street, a pink-haired girl noticed her and slowly made her way towards her. "Oh, so you've recovered already? Great, now we can see Tsunade-sama," she said, giving the stacks of books she carried to a nurse who had just walked out. "Follow me." She said and started walking.

Kagome unsteadily limped after her as she led her to a colossal red building. She glanced around, astonished by what she saw. This is so not Tokyo! She thought.

The girl helped her inside and up a couple of flights of stairs. They stopped in front of a maroon colored door and the girl rapped on it. "Come in," a strict feminine voice floated through the door.

The girl opened the door and walked in. She said, "Tsunade-sama, she has woken up and has just gotten out of the hospital."

Kagome saw the blonde woman seated at a circular desk. She wore a green and white robe, and what was most astonishing was the size of her breasts. They were like five times as big as hers!

In the room two other people stood. One was a blond headed boy and the other was a raven- haired boy. They both looked in their mid teens.

She looked at both boys up and down. She was most surprised at the blonde's outfit and how…orange it was. She glanced at the other boy, who's outfit was not the type to stand out, but it was definitely casual.

"Naruto, Sasuke, you may leave now." The girl said sharply, bringing Kagome's attention from the boys. The two headed towards the door, the boy with raven hair passed Kagome without a second thought, but the other boy stared at her with wonder before he disappeared.

She glanced from the closing door to the woman with the oversized cleavage. She blurted out suddenly, "I don't belong here! I want to go home to Mom, Sota, and Jii-chan!"

The woman whom the pink-haired girl called Tsunade calmly looked at her and stated, "You are home. You just don't remember your lazy ass brother or this place, missing for so many years… Your name is not Kagome Higurashi, but Kagome Nara. You'll find more about your brother tomorrow."

She leaned over and opened a drawer and tossed Kagome what looked like a metal plate with blue fabric with a strange symbol carved into it. "It's a Konoha hitai-ate, just so people don't think you're a trespasser. It's obvious you aren't a villager. Now, I am sure you'll need these," she said, tossing Kagome a ring of silver keys, "and Sakura will show you where you'll live."

Kagome blinked, everything was happening so fast. She didn't understand any of it, well yet. She felt her head spin with question and the thought of her name.

Sakura nodded to Tsunade and tapped Kagome on the shoulder and started to the door. Kagome snapped from her thoughts and followed her slowly.

Helping her down the stairs, and helping her out the door and heading towards the apartment district Kagome would be in, Sakura sighed. "So, your name is Sakura, right?" Kagome asked, not noticing her sigh.

"Yes, that's my name. Here we are!" She said brightly, approaching an apartment. She made sure Kagome had gone up the stairs before leaving her to explore her new home. Kagome watched as she walked away from where she was, then she turned the key in the key hole and opened the unlocked door.

She seems nice enough. But what about the pink hair? Is that natural or did she dye it? Kagome wondered. She walked in and turned on the lights. She looked around and precipitously, memories flowed into her mind, as if she had had amnesia.

"This room, this place," she said, her eyes widening. "It's like my old room…" she closed the door, locked it and then threw herself onto the bed.

The apartment space was pretty large for an apartment. The floor was covered with six tatami mats and the walls were a cream color. There was a kitchen, a shower and a bathroom and a large window too.

"My brother, eh? Nara Shikamaru…she told me he was a lazy ass, and I bet he is. I wonder what he's doing now…" her voice faded away as she felt her eyes closing.

Before her eyes closed fully she reopened them and sat up. She walked over to the closet and changed out of her school clothes into different clothes. She shut off the light and dropped onto the comfortable bed, and was soon fast asleep, waiting for tomorrow, and what news it would bring.

Tomorrow, the truth about her would be unraveled.
