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

A/N: LOADS of thanks to Kirby and Jordan, Gizmo 369, firedraike08,and Hkitty9013 for commenting in the first chapter.The song if you are wondering from the previous chapter is It Ends Tonight-The All-American Rejects. I am not taking any credit for that wonderful song which I really enjoy, however the chorus that she sings before that song, I must take credit for because that, was all me. (: Anyways, any other songs that take place in the story I will say whether they belong to me or not, so I'm just saying now, that I don't own all of the songs that will take place in the story. Anyways, let's go on with the story (:
Oh crap.
That was the only thought that entered Kagome's mind as she slowly turned around to face Kikyo.
"Kikyo! What are you doing here?" she gave Kikyo the fakest smile she could muster.
"You're a little liar." Kikyo glared.
"Now, now, it's not very nice to call other people names." Kagome mocked.
"You said you would be at Eri's house."
"Oh, did I? Must have been a slip of tongue."
"You know you're not supposed to be performing anymore."
"Oh, and why might that be?"
"You know why." Kikyo glared.
Kagome went silent.
"Just wait until Mom hears about this, you'll be grounded forever and ever." Kikyo smirked.
"You really are a bitch, you know that?"
"Now who's calling other people names?"
"And people wonder why I hate you." Kagome angrily stormed out of the club.
Kikyo rolled her eyes before following her out.
"You can throw the biggest hissy fit you want, but that's still not going to get you out of trouble, you know."
"I don't care." Kagome yelled.
"I have a proposition for you."
Kagome turned around. "What?"
"A proposition, an arrangement, a deal, etc."
"I know what it means."
"Oh, so you're not completely inadequate."
"Do you want my help or not?"
Kikyo examined her fingernails. "Two words: Palm Beach."
"Palm Beach?!? Are you crazy?"
"How am I crazy?"
"That's like impossible for you to get into. I mean even if you got an invite, which you wouldn't seeing how you're not nearly important to get one, there's no way that mom would even let you go." Kagome ranted.
"You don't understand. Palm Beach is like the most important event of the year. It has everything from runway shows, concerts, celebrities, and amazingly hot rich people, all wrapped into one. On top of that, it only happens once a year. Fortunately for me, I managed to get an invitation!"
Kagome's jaw dropped. "No freaking way! Well, it doesn't matter because Mom wouldn't let you go, like over her dead body."
"Yes, freaking way. However you are right about the second part. That is where you come in."
"WHAT?!? Nuh uh, I'm not helping you with your weird and twisted schemes." Kagome slowly backed away.
"Actually, you are, or else I'll tell Mom that you've been performing again, without her permission." Kikyo threatened.
Kagome sighed, and knowing she would regret this, asked.
"What do you want me to do?"
Kikyo rubbed her hands gleefully. "Seeing how my school starts two weeks before yours does, because I'm going to a boarding school, you're going to pretend to be me, while I'm off at Palm Beach."
"Do you really think that you've worked everything out?"
Kikyo smirked. "As usual, of course I have."
"Then tell me this, Ms. Perfect, where will you say I will be when I become you?"
"Hmmm… just say that you're going to go visit grandfather!"
"Then what happens when she calls grandpa and finds out I'm not there?"
"HELLO, the phones at the shrine have been down since forever, and she'll have to call you. Then you can just make up some silly excuse, like he's in the bathroom or something!"
"But..but.." Kagome nervously tried to think of an excuse.
"Told you, it's PERFECT!" Kikyo squealed. "Palm Beach, here I come!"
Oh crap.
It didn't work.
No matter how much she tried to convince Kikyo, nothing worked.
She tried bribing her with money, food, chores, nothing would convince her to change her mind.
To pretend to be Ms. Perfect for TWO WHOLE WEEKS was going to kill her.
Luckily, it was Kikyo's new school that she had received a scholarship for, so she wouldn't have to hang out with airheads all day. All she had to do was act fake, get good grades, call home regularly, and wear annoying clothing like Abercrombie, ---WAIT, and wear Kikyo's clothing?
Kagome stomped angrily to Kikyo's room, and banged against the door.
"WHAT?" Kikyo yelled.
"NO FUCKING WAY." Kagome growled as she threw the door open.
Kikyo rolled her eyes, and continued packing. "What now dear sister?"
"There is no fucking way that I'm going to wear the shit you call clothes."
"Well, seeing how I wouldn't let you near my clothes anyways, consider yourself saved. You can wear that junk you usually wear, and when I finally arrive, they'll be totally prepared for a new and better look." Kikyo smirked.
"Fine." Kagome glared.
"Fine, now you should be packing and making up an excuse for dear mother. So, go!"
"UGH!" Kagome screamed and went stomping back to her room, however not before injuring her foot by kicking her door.
"THIS BLOODY SUCKS!" She moaned as the pain ran through her leg.
"KAGOME, WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE." Her mother shouted from downstairs.
Oh crap.
Life sucked.
Completely, miserably, tremendously, and uhh…you get the point.
The thing was, Kikyo had lied, and she had lied her ass off.
I had obliviously forgotten that while I was pretending to be her, I had to convince my mother and brother first. That meant that I had to wear her clothes when I left the house and for school, or else they would have known that I wasn't Kikyo.
The worst part: Kikyo had known.
People have also whispered and said that Kikyo was the smarter twin, and to my horror they seem to becoming more and more correct.
How did I know that she had known?
The outfit she had "lovingly" laid out for me was to my horror, a nightmare from hell.
It wasn't revealing, and it didn't make her look figureless or ugly at all. The thing that had Kagome reeling was the fact that it was, pink. The entire outfit was pink, from head to toe.
The outfit had consisted of a light pink jacket with green and black hearts on the hood, and the name Kikyo sewed on the front. Underneath the jacket was a tank top that said "DEFINITION OF PERFECTION" which had been a birthday present from Kagome herself. Then Kikyo prepared a short pink miniskirt, and pink converse high tops to finish off the outfit.
"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME." Kagome growled angrily. "It's bad enough I have to wear your clothes, there is no way in hell I'm going to wear this BARBIE outfit you've laid out for me."
"Well it's too late, I'm all packed up and there is no way I'm opening up that suitcase again. You're stuck with it, sorry!" Kikyo smirked.
"Oh yeah, then you better be prepared for the outfit I'm going to be sending you away in." Kagome laughed vengefully and stormed off with the outfit in hand.
Kikyo gulped. "It won't be…that bad, right?" she asked herself. Then she shuddered.
"I can always change after I leave. I can always change after I leave." She chanted to herself.
Kagome sang a tune while she quietly packed.
What you see's not what you get.
With you there is just no measurement
No way to tell what's real and what's not there.
Your eyes they sparkle
That's all changed into lies that drop like acid rain
You washed away what's best of me.
You don't care.
Kikyo stopped right in front of her room, hidden from Kagome's view.
She sighed as she continued to listen to her sister sing.
"It's been two years. Two horrible and miserable years, and she still hasn't moved on." She whispered to herself.
Kagome continued singing, oblivious to her sister outside her door.
You know you did it
I'm gone
To find someone to live for
In this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You're wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I'm already gone
Sometimes shattered
Never open
Nothing matters
When you're broken
That was me whenever I was with you
Always ending
Always over
Back and forth, up and down like a roller coaster
I am breaking
That habit
Today
Kagome stopped her sudden movements, and crawled towards the window, her voice wavering but never completely stopping. Tears started slipping but her voice remained strong,
There is nothing you can say What you see's not what you get You know you did it
You know you did it
I'm gone
To find someone to live for
In this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You're wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I'm already gone
Sorry doesn't cut it, babe
Take the hint and walk away
'Cause I'm gone
Doesn't matter what you do
It's what you did that's hurting you
All I needed was the truth
Now I'm gone
What you see's not what you get
I'm gone
To find someone to live for
In this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You're wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I'm already gone
I'm already gone
Oh, I'm already gone, gone, gone, gone
Already gone
I'm gone
Kikyo fell to her knees and winced at the pain that suddenly came rushing back.
"Two years, and I also haven't moved on. I'm not that strong Kagome, I'm not. Please stop hating me because you think I have." She whispered before slowly returning to her room, trying desperately to ignore the tears that rushed down her face.
Kagome stared out her window, laughing bitterly at the falling rain that suddenly related to her mood.
What had happened? It seemed just like yesterday when she and Kikyo and been best of friends. Two years had passed, and they couldn't have been any further than being from enemies. She would do anything to take back what happened, and the horrible things that she had said. However, it was too late. It was way too late.
Wiping away the tears, she happened to glanced at the cloak, and then she freaked. She was going to be late.
Oh crap.
A/N: Okay, I don't own this song either. The song is Gone-Kelly Clarkson. I know it probably doesn't fit with the situation of that angsty moment but I was listening to it, and it's really angsty, and somehow I couldn't make this chapter all happy and light. Sorry, if you hate the fact that the story went from somewhat happy to angst turn. I would make the all nice and have perfect lives, but life isn't perfect. Anyways, now that I have finished ranting like please REVIEW. I want at least five more reviews before I shall post up the next chapter. So if you truly want another chapter, please review! REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW. (:
