A Secret Love

Author's Note: Anyway, I did this to have some fun. I was thinking, what if Kikyo didn't exists in their lives (don't we all wish that?) and Kagome lived in Inuyasha's time? Well this is what this fic is about. And starting now their journey begins.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the characters, just this fic. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~* Chapter 29

Kagome slid down the tree and quickly scrambled under Rei's arm as he swiped at her in an attempt to slice through her. She stumbled and looked at the demon in shock. "You're an insane bastard! I am NOT Kikyo!" she yelled at him. He smirked and flexed his claws. Scarily enough, they seemed to get longer at that moment.

"Listen Kikyo, I loved you with all my heart. I can't have you just running around and asking for the help of other men when you gave me your body." Kagome went bright red.

"Yeah right! I've never laid with any guy!" she screamed, her voice cracking slightly.

"Of course. Not the gentle, pure priestess Kikyo." He ran at her and Kagome screamed.

"Calm down!" she opened her eyes and saw she was now in Inuyasha's arms. "So, who's your friend?" he asked sarcastically. She looked around him at the demon, who seemed to be overwhelmed with jealousy at the moment.

"I don't have a clue who that psycho is! He keeps calling me Kikyo and."

"Kikyo?" Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at the girl and looked over at the demon. "That's funny, I just met a bitter wench that looked like you named Kikyo." Suddenly, a girl came walking into the clearing with a priestess outfit on and her arrows ready. She stopped when she saw them.

"What's going on here?" asked Kagome in confusion. The demon, Rei turned to the girl and a soft expression crossed his face.

"Kikyo." the girl glared at him and looked from him to Inuyasha and then lifted her arrow at Rei.

"You stole the Shikon jewel from me and betrayed me. How you survived my arrow, I don't know, but I will make sure you die this time." Suddenly, an evil looked crossed Rei's face, and he attacked her.

"Inuyasha! Help her!" Kagome yelled, tugging at his kimono. He glared at the girl at his side. "That's Kaede's big sister!" Inuyasha growled and clenched his fist.

"So that's the wench the hag keeps comparing you to." he said and quickly took out the Tetsusiaga. With one arm, he ran up and threw an arm around Kikyo, moving her out of the way and with the hand holding the sword, he sliced Rei with great ease. The demon went stumbling back, holding his chest in pain before falling to the ground. "That was way to easy." Kagome ran up to him and looked at Kikyo, who was looking at Rei's dead body in shock.

"Hey. are you ok?" she asked. Kikyo looked at her and quickly shoved away from Inuyasha.

"You dirty demon bastard! You killed him!" she screamed. Inuyasha opened his mouth to say something, but Kagome stopped him.

"You're Kikyo, right? Kaede's sister?" she asked. Kikyo looked at the girl in front of her and nodded.

"Yes, how do you know her?" Kagome looked at the priestess a bit unsure.

"She's the old woman that's in charge of the village I live in. She talks about you all the time."

"How could they put a child in charge of a village?" asked Kikyo. Kagome looked down.

"Well, she's not a child anymore. You've been dead fifty years."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kaede smiled as she and Kikyo sat outside watching the villagers. "So, you was brought back by some one, you don't know who because the concealed their face, and you'll be here for a week?" she asked. Kikyo nodded and sipped at her tea before looking at her aged sibling.

"Fifty years has done a lot on your appearance, Kaede. I hardly knew it was you when I saw you." Kaede gave a soft laugh and nodded over to where a group of kids were playing.

"You don't expect me to remain like that forever do you?" she shook her head and sighed. "It is nice o see you here again. It must be quite a surprise to hear that our priestess in training is being accompanied by a half-breed and a demon whelp to find shards of the Shikon jewel, isn't it." Kikyo shook her head.

"You should have been more careful when you chose the girl. Have you seen how close she and that half-breed are? It's disgusting."

"Because you and Rei didn't make it doesn't mean Kagome and Inuyasha won't. Though I have my doubts, I think Inuyasha feels too deeply for Kagome to betray her or let her end up hurt." Kikyo scowled and stood up.

"I'm going to have to take care of this. I made a mistake by trusting a demon and I will NOT have history repeated." She said and marched off. Kaede got up and went running after her.

"Kikyo, Don't!" she called. They suddenly heard screams of children and quickly went running over to where it was heard. When they found the kids, they were all hanging over a very annoyed Inuyasha, giggling while Kagome smiled up at him.

"What are you doing?" asked Kikyo bitterly. Miroku stepped from behind Inuyasha with a little girl in his arms and Shippo on his shoulder.

"Wow, she does resemble Kagome in a way." Said the monk brightly. Inuyasha grunted and cringed when a little girl tugged at one of his ears.

"You see Kikyo. Inuyasha is not Rei." Kikyo scowled.

"We'll just see how long this lasts." She muttered. 'Naraku told me Inuyasha was not to be trusted, and I will take care of him before I go back.'
