Decided to post another chapter today because I literally have nothing better to do !

Hope you all have enjoyed the first bit of the story!


Chapter 2: Seeing You

Kaede and Kagome helped me wash my priestess garb while I bathed (her garb is white and blue instead of red ) . Fifty years of no bathing or cleaning has its major downsides. After I was clean and dressed again, they gave me my first meal in years.

"This is delicious." I told Kaede, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, child. You deserve a nice meal after fifty years of empty stomach!" The group shared a laugh.

Inuyasha then proceeded to tell us it was time for us to get some rest because we would be searching for the jewel shards and Kikyo in the morning. I decided to sleep by the village stream. Kagome gave me some blankets to keep me warm.

"Thank you, Kagome-chan, but i won't need these." I gave her a warm smile.

"Are you sure?" She asked me.

"Follow me, Kagome." I led Kagome to the stream and she watched me with curiosity.

"What are you doing!" She practically screamed as I submerged myself in water.

I motioned for her to be quiet with my hand and I lay facing up in the water. Kagome's eyes widened as the entirety of the water began to glow a brilliant blue.

'Water is my natural power source.' My voice reached Kagome's mind.

"Was that telepathy?!" Kagome asked loudly.

'Yes, you can do it, too. Now lower your voice.'

'Is it working..?' Kagome's voice pierced through my mind.

'Gosh even your thinking is loud!' We both laughed.

After a few minutes I rose from the water, completely dry.

"Whoa! how are you dry?! And how come we can mind speak with each other?" Kagome barked out at me.

"I told you, Kagome, water is my specialty. And we can 'mind speak' because we are connected at the soul." I told her.

Kagome nodded and we settled down on the grass.

"G'night, Kyoko."

"You too, Kagome."


I slept maybe an hour before I rose from my sleep. I took off running into the forest searching for him. I turned a sharp corner following his aura and what I saw frightened me.

"Oni...gumo?" I cried to him.

His crimson eyes went wide and he dropped his prey and turned to me.

"It can't be." He appeared in front of me so quickly it almost made my heart skip a beat. "Kyoko?" He made a move to touch my face but I pulled him to me in a hug.

"Onigumo! It really is you! After all these years!" I cried into my older brothers chest.

"How did you get out?"

"I don't know!"

He wrapped his arms tightly around me and kissed the top of my head. Onigumo was my older brother. We shared the same father but neither of us knew him. When his mother died, my mother took him in because I begged her to. He was always trying to protect me and we were best friends as children. The only reason he escaped the fate that the rest of my siblings faced was because he wasn't in my family records. I looked up into his red eyes and frowned.

"What is wrong, Kyoko?" I looked at him with pained eyes.

"You should be an old man, Oni... but you're a half demon now. Why Oni, why did you do this to yourself? You could have gotten married and had kids! But you chose me and my family over yourself!"

"I thought you understood why! I don't care about people, you're the only person I have ever truly cared for, Kyoko. No one else matters! All I wanted was my little sister back. Do you really think I care about myself or even some street whore that breeds children?"

"Oni!"

"It's Naraku!" He lashed out at me, but I could tell that he instantly regretted it, "I'm sorr-"

"Save it.. I have to go, Naraku. I'll see you around."

I took off at lightening speed to get away from him and masked my scent and aura so that he couldn't follow me. He was so different now. He gave up everything for me, and made himself a monster. He didn't have to act like a monster in front of me for me to see the truth in his eyes. He may care about me, but that means nothing when he wants to destroy the world.

"KYOKO!" Inuyasha yelled as we bumped into each other.

We both went flying in opposite directions. I stood up first and went to see if he was okay.

"What are you doing, Inuyasha?" I asked as he finally stood up.

"N-nothing, what are you doing out?!" He lashed at me.

"Nothing."

We went our separate ways and made a silent agreement never to speak of this moment with anyone.


I arrived back to the spot by the stream that Kagome and I were sharing to find a very awake Kagome.

"Hello, Kyoko." Kagome's eyes were saddened.

"What is wrong, Kagome?" I knelt down beside her.

"It's just... Inuyasha went to see Kikyo again." She pointed up at the soul collectors that filled the night sky.

"You have deep feelings for Inuyasha, do you not?" Kagome's eyes widened.

"Whaaaaaaaat, no way." The look I gave her let her know that I wasn't buying it, "Oh alright, yes... I love him, but.. al he can think about is his Precious Kikyo, ugh." kagome bit out bitterly.

"Don't worry, Kagome. He will see your worth in due time." I consoled my doppelganger.

"I hope you're right, Kyo."

I pulled Kagome into a tight embrace. Oh how I imagined what it would feel like to not have your love returned, but I didn't really have to imagine, I already knew. My mother, Lady Midoriko, was a cold woman. She had no tolerance for my siblings or myself. She forced so much upon me as a child, but then again could you even consider it a childhood? She forced me to become the head priestess of our village at nine years old so that she would have no responsibilities. I could never voice my own opinions because that would earn myself a whipping with mother's favorite bamboo stick. The worst happened when people would always tell me how lucky I was to have such a wonderful and powerful mother. I didn't care for her. I loathed that woman's entire existence.

My mother would always neglect my siblings, while she spent all of her attention on me. Oh, how I envied the negligence my brothers and sisters felt! She never paid attention to them, which means they never received any punishments or excruciating tasks from her. the only memory of my mother that makes me a tad bit happy is her funeral, where I spat on her grave.

My thoughts frustrated me. I had to catch some rest before our long day tomorrow. It took only a few seconds or me to drift off into a restless slumber.
