A/N check my deviant account, I drew Kari as well as Kagome. Inuyasha is next. . Woot
On with the story:
Kagome froze in place, her face becoming pale at whom she saw.
"Kikyo" Kagome said in disbelieve
Kikyo gave her a small smile and said
"It's been a while hasn't it Kagome."
Kagome couldn't believe it, her cousin Kikyo, the one that had ruin her life in high school. The one that was always praised and the one that was always better at everything came back. Kagome swallowed hard and returned the gesture for the cousin she hadn't seen in years.
Kikyo was the first to speak.
"It has been a long time, hasn't cousin.
Her voice was just as calm and composed as Kagome remember it, with a hint of superiority, that always made her looked more mature when they were growing up. Her hair was long, falling to her waist, pulled into a low ponytail, two strands falling over her shoulders elegantly as it had always been. Her face still held immense pride, even though six years had passed since they had seen each other. She could pass as Kagome's twin, except for one thing that made them completely different, their personalities.
"I see you haven't changed much Kikyo." Kagome said as she made a gesture for her cousin to follow her to her "office".
Kikyo looked around, not surprised that her cousin had actually done what she had been saying since they were little. She wanted to own a daycare because she loves children and that they make her happy. Kikyo shuddered. She never actually liked children.
"What brings you here Kikyo?"
Kikyo looked at her cousin and sighed.
"Kagome I need your help… I need you to let me stay with you for a month or so. See my boyfriend and I got in this big fight over something stupid and well…"
Kagome nodded understanding the matter.
"Sure you can stay with me; I have a spare room that you can use. Do you want me to give the address or can you wait 'til six o' clock."
"I can wait till six." Kikyo said. She glanced around Kagome's office; there were picture of children from all ages.
"Do you want to drink something Kikyo" Kagome said as she glanced at her cousin
"Water please"
Kagome nodded and went to get something to drink for them. Kikyo stood up and glanced at the pictures.
'I can't believe how much she loves children' she thought
She looked at the wall next to the window, where there were lots of drawings done by the kids in the day care.
Kikyo stood there examining the pictures, when Kagome came in with there drinks. She handed Kikyo her water, with a small thank you, Kikyo accepted it.
As they were conversing, Kari came in. Kagome glanced at her and notice that the child was red with a smutch of dirt on her left cheek; probably of running and playing in the jungle gym.
Kagome smile and unfolded her hands telling Kari to come, so she can clean the smutch of dirt from her face. Kikyo glanced at the little girl. Her eyes were almost bulging out. Her heart was beating so fast that Kagome probably can hear it. Kagome clean the dirt from Kari and gave her a lollypop that was on her desk. Kari said thank you and finally notice the lady the Kagome had been talking to. Kari turned and smiled.
"Hi, I'm Kari Takahashi." She said extending her hand. Kagome looked at her cousin, suddenly Kikyo didn't look that well.
"Kikyo are you feeling alright, you look a little pale." Kagome said worried about her cousin.
Kikyo looked at her; she could feel the blood on her face living her. She swallowed hard and looked at Kagome with a mock smile.
"I'm fine, Kagome do you mind giving me the address" Kikyo asked whipping the sweat of her brow.
Kagome looked confuse about her cousin's sudden behavior.
"Sure, wait a second"
Kagome got a note pad and wrote the address down. She handed it to Kikyo.
"Thank you Kagome" Kikyo smiled, still looking pale
"I have to go Kagome, see you later." She said as she headed to the door.
Kari looked up to Kagome and Kagome looked at Kari. Both confuse. She looked at Kari and smiled.
"Your father will be here soon, how about we get you ready."
Kari nodded grabbing hold of Kagome's hand.
Kikyo couldn't believe it what she saw.
"She's my daughter" she said as she went to the taxi waiting for her.
'Those eyes, those are Inuyasha's eyes… Kari Takahashi… the daughter that I willingly gave up five, almost six years ago was her..."
