I hate everything! I hate my mother, my pesky little brother, an' my grandfather. Everyone! An' I don't get along with them. Let alone be in the same room with them for a day. They just don't understand what I've been with. Everyone! Even Kagome, my identical twin sister. We look the exact same. Our names are even similar. My name is Kikyo. If you think we are the same, being twins, you are every wrong! I'm older than her by 5 minutes. Kagome got the brains of the family and the ability to control her temper. Me, I didn't get anything important. I've got a really bad temper, I'm good at fighting, video games, an' I what I'm best at is archery. I've been doing archery since I was able to hold up a bow. It's the best thing I'm good at. No one at school is as good as me in archery. When I say I don't get along with them, it's true. But I used to be very close to everyone in my family. Me an' Kagome were really tight. We couldn't keep anything from each other. We were the best of friends. But when we meet that Inu Yasha was when things started getting worse.
It was the day before me an' Kagome's 15th birthday. I had gotten into another fight. But this time I didn't start it! The boys were disrespecting my family! They were calling him a crazy loony! My grandpa isn't a crazy loony! He's a really great guy! He tells really great stories. I had to fight them! I couldn't let them get away with saying that kind of things about him. While I was walking home I thought about how much trouble I was going to get into. I couldn't think of an excuse I could tell Mom. I couldn't say I ran into a pole! I'd used it to many times! I knew it would be obvious that I had been fighting. My lip was bleeding and I had a giant cut on my forehead. As well as a black eye.
Thankfully I had passed First Aid and I always keep a small first aid kit with me. I walked into our old well. I loved the old well. It was a place for me to be alone and to be able to think in the darkness. I've always loved darkness. It was always so calming for me. I pulled out my small compact and took out my first aid kit and began to work on my wounds, trying to hide them as well as I could. I was able to hide most of them, just not my black eye.
I walked in the house my hands behind my head. "Hello Kagome." "Mom! I'm not Kagome!" I sighed. We are almost 15 years old! Why can't she tell us apart! "Oh I'm sorry Kikyo. I didn't mean to call you Kagome. Your sister is at a friends' house. She should be home by now." She looked at me. "You've been fighting again? Kikyo! What have I told you about that! You know I hate it when you do that!" "Mom! It wasn't my fault! I didn't start it!" "I guess that I'll have to punish you. It seems that all my talks don't seem to sink in. So I won't talk to you. I'll just have to ground you." "Mom!" I said crying. "It's not fair Mom!" "I'm sorry. But you are grounded for two weeks." I gasped. "Mom! Come on!" "I'm sorry. I'm also going to have to take away your bows and arrows." She said as I turned and ran upstairs to my room crying.
I slammed the door to my room shut. I fell to my bed but then I jump right back up. There was something on it! I looked at to see if was Kagome's cat, Buyo, but it wasn't. Instead it was a small box. I picked it up and whipped away my tears. "At least she remembered our birthday." I said to myself as I picked it up. "Happy 15th birthday twin! Love, Kagome" I smiled and opened the box. It was the exact necklace I saw and wanted. "Wow. Sis, thank you!" I whispered. I looked around making sure that she wasn't coming inside and I walked to my closet and pulled out of its hiding place, her present. It was a collection of stuffed animals that she wanted from a crane game but had never won. I got them for her; I'm really good at those types of games. I sat on my bed and wrapped up her presents and then placed it on her bed. My bow and arrows were lying against the wall. I really wanted to shoot them. Mom hadn't come up here yet to take them. A sly look covered my face as I thought, "It's only one arrow. She won't know. It's only one arrow." I picked up my bow and armed myself with an arrow. I shot the arrow and it hit the tree near house. I smiled as I hit my marker. "Perfect shot!" What happened next would change my life forever. There have been some days' when I wished that I didn't do what I was about to do. I armed myself with another arrow when I heard, "Kikyo! What do you think you are doing!" I accidentally shot my arrow when I was trying to hide my bow behind my back. "Nothing mama! I swear!" "Don't you lie to me! I saw you shoot that arrow! And I told you not too! You deliberately disobeyed me! You're sister isn't as much trouble as you are!" Gods I wished I never said what I was about to say. "Well mom guess what? I'm not Kagome! No matter what you do I'll never be like your precious Kagome! You can't change who I am! Sometimes you wish I was never born an' Kagome was!" "Don't you talk back to me young lady! Now you will go outside and get each of the arrows that you have ever shot! And I mean all of them!" "But mom! That will take me hours! There are about a thousand arrows out there!" "Sorry Kikyo. But you can't come back in until you get each and everyone of them! Even if it means you don't get your dinner! Now out!" She said pointing her finger down the stairs. "I hate you mom!" I grabbed my other arrows and their container an' stormed down the stairs.
It had taken me almost two hours, but I was finally down to my last two arrows. I walked into the old well and reached up to grab it. "Finally one more left!" The next thing I knew I was unconscious.
