One Soul to ShareChapter three: That's where Kikyo is!
Several doctors ran frantically down the hallway. A large commotion was spreading through out the hospital. Several nurses were chatting among each other.
"What, how can that be?"
"It's all true."
"How could any baby even survive birth?"
"We're not sure if she has yet."
"You mean…"
"She was just born…"
The doctors ran through a door marked 'Maternity' only to find that the nurse's conversation didn't even give the half of it. The head doctor stepped forward and inspected the crying baby… "Nurse," He said, gently setting the baby back into its plastic box. "Tell me this child's status."
"Well as you can see," A short nurse with red curly hair pointed to the baby in the container. "She is a girl." The nurse picked up a clipboard that was resting on a scalpel table near the plastic box. "She seems to have almost every disease imaginable, diabetes, low blood pressure, a weak immune system," She flips several of the pages, "The list goes on and on Sir." She finishes and hands the head doctor the clipboard. "It almost seems as thought she's lost half her soul." The nurse said.
*Flashback*
"Ha, ha, your so funny. Now lets get down to it." When Naraku stood in front of Kagome he was eye level with her because she was a foot above ground. She gave him a drop-dead look. He just smiled at her. Then he thrust his hand into her chest. Kagome screamed in pain. "Now I pull it out." Kagome began to glow. The glowing split down the middle of her body and the right half started to pull away. "You're stronger than I thought." Naraku growled. He pulled his hand out of her and the right aura floated away. Kagome's eyes closed and her chest appeared to be unwounded. "Sleep in piece." Naraku said. He then transformed into a Kagome look alike. "Time to get on with the rest of my plan." His voice sounded that of Kagome's.
In the town unknown to any, the Shikon jewel cracked slightly down the center.
*End Flashback*
The nurse sighed, "By all rights, this young girl should no longer be breathing. Her lungs were not fully functioning when born, now they seem fine," Unseen by any of the doctors, just seen by the small child, a faint glow emitted from her chest, in the shape of a half circle.
"I see." The doctor said flipping through the clipboard before setting it back down on the scalpel table. "The parents, have you told them yet?"
"No…"
"Do it, and tell them it might not be wise to think of a name…" The nurse gasped at the doctor's harsh words.
"But…"
"Don't want them to get to attached…"
"Yes I understand." And with that she walked out and into the birthing room where the two worried parents sat.
"My baby…" The mother said breathing rather quickly.
"She is very sick," the nurse said simply. "She may die." The mother started to cry uncontrollably, the father braced her, and let his wife cry into his chest.
"Isn't there anything more you can do…?" The father said, looking at his wife.
"The doctor," the nurse looked away from the man. "The doctor said not to choose a name."
"What?!?!" The father said, his sadness turning to outrage.
"We," The mother began to speak. "We will name her Kikyo." And it was as if her words were gold, everything seemed to get better instantly. "Kikyo."
The girl child lived through her ordeal, though she never completely became better. She still made frequent trips to the hospital. Her life was as normal as normal could be for any 12 year old. And getting exciting, her mother was pregnant.
"Deep breaths sweetie!" Kikyo's father suggested to his wife, Kikyo's mother.
"What do you think I am doing?" She yelled back at him! "Getting ready to dive under water?" Kikyo laughed at her mother's joke.
"Kikyo don't just stand there!" Her father yelled. "Give me the car keys." Kikyo obeyed and watched helplessly as her Father and Mother walked out the door. Well her mother waddled more than walked. Oblivious to the fact that this would be the last time she would ever see her mother, alive.
"Good bye Kikyo!" Her mother yelled as she squeezed into the small car. "I love you sweet heart!"
"I love you too, Ma Ma!" Kikyo yelled back waving from the front door.
Her father would return later the next day, his eyes would be red from crying, as he delivers the terrible news to Kikyo, her mother had died giving birth to Kikyo's sister. The two would embrace and cry in each other's arms. The father had one last thing to say before he let Kikyo fully give into the tears.
"What would you like to name her?" He said.
"Name her after mommy." Kikyo said wiping tears from her eyes. "I want her name to be Kaede." She then burst into tears, unaware of how proud her father was of her right then.
Ten long and gruesome years drag by, Kikyo's father died, just when she reached the age of 18, old enough to care for Kaede. Kikyo was attending a community college. Since she could not have a full time job, she lived at a shrine as its keeper along with her sister. There was no rent, and she only had to tidy up the place every once and a while. It was perfect. Kaede also had to work, to help pay for her sister's outrageous doctor bills. You may be thinking what about inheritance? Well it was gone by the time Kikyo was 20, that's how little there was.
"Sister Kikyo?" Kaede whispered to her sister who had fallen asleep at her desk again. "Sister, you should not stay up late and study." Kaede poked Kikyo in the ear.
Kikyo swatted at the annoyance, "Kaede." She murmured in her dreamland. "Fetch me a bone."
"Huh?" Kaede said. "SISTER!" she yelled. Kikyo jumped.
"Wha…"
"We are going to be late for school!" Kaede yelled, before throwing a piece of toast at Kikyo, "Lets go! Hurry and get dressed."
"Holy macaroni." Kikyo said, not swearing on purpose. She raced into her room and threw on a lightweight, white dress. She put on some white sandals and promptly admired herself in the mirror. Her dress was had a V-neck, and it reached to just above her knees. She twirled around. The skirt of her dress floated out and lightly wrapped around her before settling to its resting position when Kikyo stopped spinning. Her long black hair followed her body in the same way the dress had. "Gorgeous."
"Kikyo!" Kaede yelled.
"What!"
"Buyo's missing!"
"That infernal cat," Kikyo murmured. She hated that stupid cat, she wished it would die. "Coming!" She yelled out to Kaede. Then she grabbed her backpack and ran outside. She saw Kaede standing at the door of the shrine.
"Kaede!" Kikyo yelled angry with the girl. "Don't you dare go in there?" Kaede whirled around and upon seeing the look on Kikyo's face scooted away.
"Sorry, please don't hit me." Kikyo slapped Kaede hard across the face.
"First you wake me up late." Kikyo said, holding her hand to prevent herself from striking Kaede again. "Then you loose that cat."
"Sorry."
"Sorry can't erase the past." 'If only it could.' Kikyo thought. Through her whole life she's been sick, and it's made her a bitter person. She has a short temper and refuses for people to help her.
"I think Buyo's in there." Kaede says backing away a tad bit more.
"Lets go see." Kikyo says and slides the shrine door open. Before her, is what seems to be a well with boards across the top. "BUYO!" She calls.
"Buyo?" Kaede echoes. The boards on the well began to rattle. Kaede runs behind Kikyo and hids.
"What was that?"
"It is probably Buyo." Kikyo said. "Go and see."
"Me?" Kaede said. "You're supposed to be the big sister, you go and check it out."
"Fine," Kikyo said, and walked to the front of the well. The banging got loader and loader and…
"Meow?" Kaede jumps and screams. Kikyo just freezes unable to move from fear, until she sees what caused the noise.
"Buyo!" Kikyo says and the cat runs out from behind the other side of the well, it heads towards Kaede. "Well is see, I don't get any thanks for risking my life." Then Kikyo hears another bang from inside the well. She turns and faces Kaede who is standing at the door. They both give each other a frightened look just as the boards bust apart. 3 pairs of arms reach out from inside the well and wrap themselves around Kikyo. They pull her, dragging her into the well, Kikyo can her Kaeda's voice as she falls deeper and deeper…
"Sister Kikyo, noooo!"
A/N= Good stopping point I think. I have explained everything about Kikyo and her family that I need to. I got the last line that Kaede says from the actual Inuyasha show: when Kikyo first dies after hitting Inuyasha with the arrow, Kaede yells that as Kikyo falls to the ground. Please review and keep reading!
