A/N: Hey everyone! I received a gracious and lovely review (as all are. Thanks to anyone who does!) that pointed out to me that the previous incarnation of chapter four had, in fact, NO wardrobe malfunction! (insert gasp of authorly horror here). Suddenly, like a bolt of proverbial lightening or too hot coffee on the roof of your mouth, I had- wait for it!- an idea! Yes! An idea, inspiration, a muse- all thanks to the fabulous reviewer OniyuriGaaru! Thus, I present to you the newly improved chapter four.

There's a new ending and I have to say it's even more OOCness for poor 'I-want-my-boyfriend-to-be-a-necrophiliac' Kikyou. Before I get any flames about this, I know she's OOC. Go with the flow you sticklers for correct characterization! Live a little outside the box!

Also, I forgot to mention last time that I don't own the Inuyasha franchise. Otherwise Kagome would wear something else besides her school uniform. (How many other middle schoolers do you know that love their required sailor suits? None, that's who. You wanna know why no one questions Kagome's frequent absences? Because they constantly see her in her school uniform and so think she's mentally imbalanced. But that's just a theory. You can have your own opinions on that… )

R&R please!

Deliberation on the riverbank:

Kikyou sat on a hill overlooking a river. For once, her life sustaining Soul Stealers were quiet and still. She was downwind from the targets of her scrutiny and was undetectable.

He still should have sensed I was here, the former priestess thought peevishly as an oblivious hanyou played in the water with his friends.

I was his friend, Kikyou thought unhappily. I was his only friend when he needed one so badly. Yet, now in my time of need, he cannot be a friend to me. He is too busy with his new ones. She looked at the group of shard hunters, saw their easy camaraderie and felt jealousy lick at her insides.

It is all that girl's fault! Kikyou thought venomously. Without her, none of the rest would even know each other!

Below Kikyou's hill, Kagome was laughing and splashing Sango as Shippou ran around gleefully.

What is it about her that pulls everyone near her? Kikyou wondered.

She is not as powerful as I am.

She is not as useful.

Is it her more cheerful smile? Her seemingly endless energy? Her kind nature?

What is it about her that makes people, demons and hanyous all love her?

Perhaps her optimistic attitude toward life? Her patience and empathy?

Or maybe, Kikyou thought as Kagome ran out of the water in a tiny black bikini, it's her damn swimwear.

Kagome waved energetically to a captivated Inuyasha who was not so subtly trying to stop ogling the girl's wet and exposed body. The teenager was jiggling and bouncing and the half demon was obviously enjoying the show.

"Tramp," muttered Kikyou spitefully. One day I shall also have a 'bikini' thing and then we shall see who is truly powerful!

Kikyou examined Kagome's bikini closer and mentally reneged her vow with a sigh. Never mind, she admitted to herself. I don't have the ass for it. However…

An unassuming bit of Power managed to unravel the ties of Kagome's top. The fabric fluttered to the ground with the help of an unnatural wind. For a moment everyone in the little group stared at the bits of black fabric that had protected Kagome's chest from view. As the teenaged girl's humiliated screeches rang out, Kikyou couldn't prevent a wholly feminine smirk of from crossing her face.

However I have bigger breasts, the ex- priestess thought, terribly pleased with herself. And that definitely counts for something…

A/N: Hehe! Hope you liked it OniyuriGaaru! I just think the idea of Kikyou thinking all of Kagome's personality and power comes from a itsy bitsy black bikini quite funny. Instead of the Force, she has skimpy swimwear! Review again if you want, don't if you don't. Thanks for the support!
