An hour earlier, a girl named Kagome Higurashi had another strange dream.
This was not the first time she had had this dream. Ever since she was seven, she had dreamed of it from time to time—a void, lightless world.
There, it felt as though a pair of terrifying eyes were watching her. Even after experiencing it countless times, it still frightened her.
Then a strange voice spoke to her. As for what exactly it said... every time she woke up, she could never remember clearly. It seemed to be saying... something about a sword?
Find that sword, then... draw it! Become a... complete being.
There were also things like "the abandoned half," "revenge," "gods," and "yin-yang arts"...
Kagome did not understand, nor did she intend to figure it out anymore... Anyway, when she was little, she had told her grandfather and mother about it several times, but it had not helped at all. Later, she simply chose to ignore it!
As long as she paid it no mind, she would forget about it soon enough!
"Big sis, hurry up! We're going to be late!"
After she woke up, her younger brother Sota Higurashi's voice rang out again...
"Got it! Seriously... that dream again!"
Kagome slipped one arm through her schoolbag strap while stuffing bread into her mouth with the other. She caught the other strap as it flew up from her sudden acceleration, then dashed out the door, startling Little Fatty, who had been sleeping in the hallway outside, into leaping up with a screech.
"Look at the state you're in, Kagome! Girls should know how to be proper."
Seeing his granddaughter rushing about, Grandpa, who was walking over from the other end of the hallway, immediately waved his arms around and roared at the top of his lungs.
