A/N: My first Inuyasha story. Please review and tell me what you think! It's more of a drabble really…


SOUL SISTERS

When Kagome dreams, the other half of her soul calls out to her. She can feel Kikyo. It's as if their hearts are beating as one, unyielding in their togetherness. Their memories wind together into one long stream, twisting through time. The voices and faces blend into each other, creating a smear of remembrance. It's almost painful.

She can see through Kikyo's eyes, feeling her other half's feelings. She sees Inuyasha from fifty years ago, still as stubborn and unchangeable as ever. His gruff manner makes her heart pound. She can't tell who is feeling what anymore; there is no difference between Kikyo and herself anymore.

Kagome dreams of her home; the shrine and the God tree are exactly as she remembers. There are faints shouts and the pattering of feet. The rumble of cars and the smell of exhaust is all pervasive, invading her senses. She feels Kikyo watching through her eyes, hungrily taking in the foreign sights. A few times, she relinquishes control and lets the other woman explore. It's only fair.

Lately, there was someone else interrupting their dreams. The consciousness was small and underdeveloped. It was that of a young child, simple and honest. Her memories were few and scattered. All Kikyo and Kagome could see was fire, and the gaping jaws of wolves. Sometimes, they would get flashes of silver and amber; a cold face that looked like it was carved out of marble.

When Kagome first saw Rin in the real world, she recognized the child immediately. Gathering the unsuspecting girl in her arms, Kagome let her tears loose. Three hundred years was a long time for a soul to be unattached. It seemed that Kagome had found another soul sister.


A/N: If anyone didn't get that, it means that Rin is another reincarnation of Kikyo, just like Kagome. It's based of the anime episode Jaken Falls Ill. Jineji commented that Rin is very similar to Kagome.
