Ready, Set, Switch!
Summary: It was quite simple. All she had to do was pretend to be her sister Kikyo, and Kikyo wouldn't tell her mother what had happened. How was she to know that falling in love with someone while he thought he was her identical sister wasn't a good idea? It's never easy pretending to be someone you're not. InuKag SanMir.
Disclaimer: I sadly own nothing except this crazy weird plot that suddenly popped into my mind.
Chapter One: Identical
"WAKE UP!" a voice rang into her ear as Kagome Higurashi woke up.
"WHAT?!?" she yelled.
She heard a sigh and a shuffle of items.
"Wait, don't touch my stuff!" Kagome yelled as she rolled out of bed.
"Like, please. The only reason I would ever touch your stuff, would be to find a place to sit between all this junk, which is what I'm doing now." The familiar voice continued.
"Kikyo?" There was only one person that would ever say such mean stuff about her items.
"That's me, fortunately."
"First of all, my stuff is not junk, that name is reserved for the crap you have on your dresser that you call make up. Second of all, what the hell are you doing in my room anyways?" Kagome groaned tiredly.
Kikyo wrinkled her nose as she walked around a pile of clothes. "Why else? Mom told me to go wake you up so you wouldn't be sleeping for half the day."
"Okay, you've accomplished what you've been sent here for. Now, GO AWAY!" Kagome threw a pillow in a random direction which she hoped would be where Kikyo was standing. When she heard a shriek, she grinned. Score!
"You are such a FREAK! I can't believe we're twins." Kikyo yelled.
Kagome smiled amusedly, "Right back at you."
With a huff, Kikyo stormed out.
"Finally, peace at last." She grinned.
Looking at the clock, she hurriedly grabbed her clothes and changed as quickly as she could.
Smiling she looked at her reflection. She wore dark black jeans, black and silver tank top with a jacket that held the logos with her favorite bands. She was a complete opposite of her sister Kikyo, who strutted around in name brands like Hollister and Abercrombie, and she loved that fact.
Gasping at the time, she grabbed her keys and rushed downstairs.
"Mom, I'm leaving!"
"Wait a minute!" Kagome froze as she reached the door.
"Yes mother?" she gave her mother the most innocent expression she could muster.
"Where are you going?" her mother frowned.
"Just to Eri's and the later to work."
"Could you take Souta to the dentist?" her mother asked.
"Mom!" Kagome groaned.
"Please? I really don't have time today. I have to go take your grandfather to the hospital, and then Kikyo to her orientation at her new school, and then I have a meeting to go to. Please just do this one thing for me?" her mother pleaded.
Kagome relented. "Fine, hurry up Souta!"
Rolling her eyes, she rushed him out of the house and into the car.
"Don't wait up mother!" she winked and drove away as quickly as she could.
"Here's the deal, okay Souta? I'm going to drop you off, and when you finish, call me okay?"
He nodded quickly and continued amusing himself with his game.
After dropping him off, Kagome smirked as she quickly drove off to her private spot, the god tree.
Grabbing her guitar, she silently strummed and sang the phrase that had been stuck in her head all morning.
I won't say that I understand
When I know I really can't
I'm not her
I'm not perfection.
I don't pretend I'm something I'm not
Don't compare me to her
For she's will always just be a reflection
Kagome sighed as her voice trailed off. So perhaps, being Kikyo's twin was making her a little bit bitter, okay a lot bitter. But she couldn't help it. All her life she was trying to make sure that she was as different as Kikyo, so people could stop calling them as the Higurashi twins, as they were one person, and call them by their own name. Her plan backfired when everyone started comparing them.
"Kikyo this, Kikyo that. Why can't you be more like Kikyo?" she mimicked. Kagome sighed and ran her hand through her hair. Not everyone compared them, he didn't. Hot tears blurred her vision, and she wiped them away and sighed. It's been two years. Two years, and she was the only one who still hadn't moved on. Grumbling, she slowly got up, and leaned against the god tree.
Grabbing her cell phone, she quickly called Eri.
"Hey Eri, if my mom or anyone else calls, I'm at your house okay?"
"Uh…sure?" Eri replied confusedly.
"Thanks." Then Kagome quickly hung up.
Grabbing her guitar, she quickly hurried to the place where her latest gig was located.
As she reached there, the manager of the club frowned.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" he yelled.
"I got caught in traffic?" she winced at his menacing glare.
"Fine, just hurry up and get started."
She breathed out a sigh of relief and hurried on stage.
Grabbing her guitar, she let go of her worries and opened her mouth and started singing.
Your subtleties
They strangle me
I can't explain myself at all.
And all the wants
And all the needs
All I don't want to need at all.
The audience turned their heads to stare at the black haired singer who seemed to be singing her heart out. She had a voice of an angel, however it was an angel that was full of pain.
The walls start breathing
My mind's unweaving
Maybe it's best you leave me alone.
A weight is lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow.
When darkness turns to light, A falling star The walls start breathing
It ends tonight
It ends tonight.
Least I fall alone.
I can't explain what you can't explain.
You're finding things that you didn't know
I look at you with such disdain
My mind's unweaving
Maybe it's best you leave me alone.
A weight is lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow.
Unknown to Kagome, a figure in the shadows smirked as she looked up the familiar face.
"Perfect." The figure whispered.
When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Just a little insight won't make this right
It's too late to fight
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Now I'm on my own side
It's better than being on your side
It's my fault when you're blind
It's better that I see it through your eyes
All these thoughts locked inside
Now you're the first to know
When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Just a little insight won't make this right
It's too late to fight
It ends tonight,
It ends
Kagome shut her eyes, and tried to prevent the tears from falling down. Two years, two years, her mind chanted. She cleared her mind of that thought, and stared out into the crowd.
When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Just a little insight won't make this right
It's too late to fight
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Tonight
Insight
When darkness turns to light,
It ends tonight
Smiling, as the crowd roared, she quickly stepped off stage to the beckoning manager.
"You never fail to please Kagome." He smiled.
"I try my best." She replied quietly.
Staring at her questioningly, he sighed and gave her the payment.
"Come back as soon as you can."
Kagome nodded and headed towards the exit.
"You, my dear sister, are so busted." A voice rang out behind her.
Oh crap.
A/N: Yay, a short first chapter, but I assure you that it's only the first chapter, and it wouldn't make sense to push the whole thing into the first chapter, so second chapter will be longer for sure. Anyways, you know the drill, REVIEW please!
