It is spring break! Finally! Runs out side; dances around. "There is no school! Hey! There is no school! Hey!" Runs back in house, "Okay, I am fine" Before I begin; I don't own any characters. I am just using them for this fanfic.

"Inuyasha," I whispered; my strength was diminishing fast. He grabbed my shoulders and held me up. "Save me." I took one last look into his golden eyes and blacked out.

Chapter 4
Kikyou POV~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I woke up; I hadn't opened my eyes yet. I was so tired I felt like falling asleep again, but a voice woke me up. "Kikyou, I know you are awake." It was my sister Keade. I opened my eyes a sliver; and groaned. It was nice to be able to sleep. "Kikyou," she said in a scolding voice. I turned over on the straw mat, pulling the blanket closer. She shook me hard. "Fine, Fine" I muttered and slowly sat up. I rubbed my eyes casting away the last bit of sleepiness. "What is it?" I muttered. My sister glared at me, "leave Kagome alone." I turned from her stare. I looked around the old thatch hut. It was morning by the way the light seeped through the creaks.
It was the same hut I used to live in. I could tell by the pot-sized hole in the roof. I laughed; how she ever got our dinner to explode I will never know. "Kikyou," she said sharply. I changed the subject she wanted to start. "After 50 years you never got that hole fixed, did you?" I got up and walked under the light, letting the sun soak into my skin. "Those were the days," I sighed. Keade got up from her kneeling position by the bed. "I do miss the times we had together, but," she walked toward me and lightly touched my shoulder, "you need to leave in peace. You are dead. Don't try to live again. All you are doing is hurting yourself and others. Your time has passed." I frowned; it was not my time yet. "Sister, did you tell the others?"
"No, not yet Kikyou."
"Please do not tell them." I looked into her old, wrinkled face, "Please."
She grunted, "Why?"
"I will..." I did not want to admit this. "I will need their help to defeat Naraku, as well as Kagome's body." Keade looked reproachful.
"All right, IF you let go of life after Naraku is dead." Keade finally said. I glared at her; even she wanted me dead. "I will tell them!" she threatened.
"Fine," I said. I did not want to return to the dead, but for Naraku's own life I would. "I will give Kagome back her body once he is dead." I said to verbally sign the deal. I felt a little leap of joy in the back of my head. Kagome was happy.
Keade gave a sigh of relief, "I am glad you agree with me sister." She smiled up at me. "Come, sit down" she motioned to the bed. "You will need your rest." I rolled my eyes, now she was glad to be with me. "I am not tired at all Keade. I have acquired double of my miko power. All of my wounds are healed." I said to assure her. Not like I had any wounds to begin with. I was not that weak.
She walked over and sat down herself. "Kikyou, I will keep your secret. I will tell you now though, they will suspect something. Sango and the kitsune especially, so you will need to fine-tune your personality and actions if you want their help. Act cheerful and happy, most importantly be forgiving. If you don't and they find out they will shurely force you out of Kagome's body." I groaned maybe I didn't want to do this, but to break into Naraku's castle I would need help. Keade looked me in the eye, "I am serous Kikyou, you need to know EVERYTHING about Kagome. I will help and tell Kagome's friends that you are feeling slightly sick but that will only get you so far." I scowled; though I hated it, I need to be careful and learn this stuff. Normally I would pay close attention but Naraku's ugly sneer leered in my mind distracting my thoughts as Keade told me everything she knew about Kagome. My second plan to kill him was almost perfect. This time I would not fail.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I was left alone; Keade had left to tell Kagome's friends about my so-called illness. She said it would be a while before she came back because she had sent them of to find a rare herb in the forest. I was glad; it left me time to think. I was sitting on the bed; still in Kagome's odd clothing. The skit was dirty and a little ripped on the side so I decided to change. I got up and looked around for a kimono but all I saw was Kagome's yellow sack, some dishware, and three baskets. I opened Kagome's bag; I would have to wear her stuff any way so I might as well get used to it. I pulled out a weird see-thru bottle with water in it, 8 oddly wrapped things that said Ramen, 2 packages that said Chocolate, a medical kit, cosmetics, and four weird pieces of clothing. I set out the clothing. Each was strangely shaped and odd in color and texture. I picked up the black, tough cloth that had a big opening and two smaller ones way at the end of the cloth. The word 'jeans' came to my mind, as well as how to put them on. 'Thank you Kagome' I said mentally. I was glad she was cooperating. I slipped the green skirt of with ease and put on the jeans. When I had them up to my waist, I noticed a silver line with teeth and a circle on top. Button and zipper entered my thoughts; maybe Kagome wasn't as stupid or weak as I first implied. She was my reincarnation after all. I zipped and buttoned up these strange jeans. I walked around the small hut. The jeans gave me a freedom I had never had before. No more worrying if my kimono was ripped or tripping over the long skirt. I smiled; I loved these jeans already. The next thing I picked up looked like a short sky-blue kimono. It was a dress. I set it back down; I didn't like it that much. The next thing I picked up was a T-shirt; at least that is what Kagome called it. It was white and had the word Fight in bold, red print. This shirt was not a Kagome-style shirt; I wonder why she had it? I pulled off Kagome's green, dirty shirt and put on the Fight shirt. It fell just above my bellybutton. I pulled it down to the waist of the pants but it just snapped back up. My arms felt bare, as well as my stomach, but the outfit I had on was an improvement from Kagome's former attire. I took my hair and tied it up with a white ribbon I found on top of the first basket. Some habits do die-hard; maybe I will wear some of Keade's sandals too, I don't like the look of Kagome's shoes. I put all of Kagome's odd stuff back in her bag and tied it up. There, at least I know some more about Kagome. I sat back down on the bed and awaited Keade's return.
For about twenty minutes I schemed and plotted Naraku's demise but then my stomach interrupted me. Man, am I hungry. I got up and looked out the door into the distance but I still could not see Keade or Inuyasha coming. "Where the hell is that sister of mine?" I mumbled to myself. My belly was ravenous, when was the last time I had eaten? Not since I was alive had I ever taken a bite of food that I could really taste. My moth watered as I checked the three baskets for food. I hoped beyond hope for a peach, my favorite food. I had opened the second basket, when I found it; my old holy sword. I had never used it before because I had preferred my bow, but now it was the perfect weapon to use against Naraku. Thank you sister for keeping it. Naraku didn't even know that I owned such a thing. My lips curled into an evil smile; this was going to be fun.

"Few!" wipes forehead "I am done with this chapter." It is a long chapter for me and I had lots o' fun writing it. Thanx to everyone who has reviewed, it has kept my muse alive. Also I am sorry if this chapter was a little drawn out, but it was hard to describe all of Kagome's things from Kikyou's point of view. So, please, if I made ANY mistakes tell me. I would appreciate it.
To complete this chapter I would like to say that this story is on Kikyou so I won't have Kagome's POV unless it is absolutely necessary, or I change my mind. Believe me, I am one of those people who have a hard time making decisions. So if nothing happens Kagome will only show up in Kikyou's mind when she is helping Kikyou or is having a strong emotion. :3 And don't post saying that the shirt copies Vedels, (sp?) in DBZ cause it is totally different and fight just seemed to fit Kikyou. So shut-Up Dannie!!! (she is my appreciated editor) Well that is all I have to say; until next chapter...
