With Kagome out of the way Kikyo was able to train in complete silence. After all she did detest her twin so much not even she could figure out a simple answer as to why. Maybe she was hoping the answer would come to her. Maybe it was because Kikyo always felt like the she could never measure up to her doppelganger of a twin sisters looks. For one she was chosen by a powerful snake god while her sister hasn't been chosen yet by anyone, which seemed to keep Kikyo ahead, but she still sheltered a deep hatred towards Kagome. Kagome her copy, her mirror image. Unlike Kagome, Kikyo's skin was paler than white paper. Which is probably why she always wore darker colors. Her dark bottomless eyes held no warmth let alone any emotion. Her hair was long and extremely straight. Her lips were so thin it looked as if she were born without them. And the curves to her body held no definition, her dresses just clung to her shoulders and flowed towards her shoes. Thinking of these things distracted Kikyo from her training.
"Are you focusing kikyo?"
"Yes master Tsubaki."
"Doesn't look like it. Now lets try it again shall we."
"Yes master Tsubaki."
Since kikyo couldn't transform under pressure Tsubaki had decided to take her to the lake in the castles large garden. The lake was far from distractions. It was a decent size deep enough to swim in for the hot months and clean enough for one to look straight to the bottom where the fish and plants swam and swayed. Cherry blossom trees surrounded the lake area. The grass was green, the rocks that surrounded it were the perfect shade to tie in the colors and big enough for one to sit and relax. It seemed like a fitting place for Tsubaki to help Kikyo but her plans weren't going through the way she hoped.
"No good Kikyo. Try again" Tsubaki murmured.
Kikyo nodded her head and tried to clear all the thoughts that plagued her mind. No matter how hard she tried she just couldn't keep the thoughts of past failures from plaguing her mind. Inhale. Exhale. inhale. Exhale. Clear your mind. Clear your mind. Kikyo thought.
"Good now think about the transformation you want to take place and hold onto it."
Kikyo nodded and thought of a water snake. Focus Kikyo, you can do this. As she mentally chanted encouraging thoughts to herself she felt something happen. Im doing it she thought. I can do this. The tingling got stronger and stronger with each thought. A popping noise was heard and she could smell something funny.
"Master Tsubaki am i supposed to be smelling smoke?"
Tsubaki laughed. " No Kikyo thats your brother souta training with masters Ah and his brother Un."
Kikyo's eyes shot open. She patted her body and face with her hands and turned to her master. She opened her mouth and stuttered. "B-but i thought I-I actually had it. It cant be Souta way out here invading my privacy."
Tsubaki looked at her student with failing hope. "Its ok Kikyo, we'll try again tomorrow. Lets head back to the castle and we'll talk about your progress on the way back."
"Yes master. Come Shini, Dama, Chuu." Kikyo bent down to pick up her three water snakes that skimmed the top of the lake where she had been training. All three of the snakes wrapped themselves around kikyo's arm and seated themselves around her neck.
"Come to me Hebi." Tsubaki shouted. A big white snake slithered out and down the cherry blossom tree. Hebi slithered up to his owner and hissed. Seeing that their group was complete the six started towards the castle. As they passed by Souta and his masters. Kikyo noticed he had learned to transform into a dragon and was breathing fire which to her explained the noise and the smell. The fact that he had learned to transform before her made her jealous and angry, which only caused Tsubaki to tilt her head back and laugh.
