i was going to make this the 3rd chapter to my Kikyo fic. but then i remembered....LA! i said i wasn't going to add any more that!....so now its a whole different story....

---------------------

Am I her

or is she me?

this woman i'm supposed to be

the original me

Kikyo...

She's the one who Inuyasha hated, no... loved. And he still does. Sometimes I catch him looking at me sadly, thinking of my resemblence to her.

Am I the copy? Or is she?

I know I have her soul, which makes me even more partially her. But still, I'm not Kikyo. I'm Kagome...

There's so much to live up too, being Kikyo's "reincarnation". Everyone expects me to have her talents. Like when I first shot an arrow. Kikyo was the master of the bow, so automatically, I was too. But i'd never held a bow before, so of course I missed. Later though, I started shoot accurately, almost like the soul inside me had decided to be kind.

And the first time I loosed an arrow, I told Kikyo I needed her help.

Inuyasha has troubles of who he loves now. The original Kikyo? or her reincarnation?

I get the feeling occasionaly the he still loves Kikyo most. And he sees me as an image from which he'll never be free.

What am I saying?

I think Inuyasha likes me, maybe even loves me. But does he love Kagome? Or the Kikyo I'm supposed to be? Which 'me' is it? Who am I going to be?

Of course there are differences between Kikyo and me. I have shorter wavy hair, she has long straight hair. What else? I might be a bit less lady- like then her, but so what?

Am I her, or is she me? Are we the same? Confused bodies sharing the same soul? Never meant to meet?

Maybe we were destined to meet, so these emotions would arise. I wonder...is she thinking the same?

Am I her, or is she me?
