Before Pride, Life and Honor Chapter 4 : Understanding emotions and the unexpected

'Inuyasha, how could you???????????????? Why????? Why Kikiyo???????????' Kagome thought. 'Why did you choose her over me? I told you many times that I loved you, and you just shove me away...WHY???????????' Kagome started running away from the camp to the well. She looked at the God tree. 'I guess me and Inuyasha was too good to be true.Ha, even when we first met, he thought that I was Kikiyo.' Kagome started crying hard 'that jerk.....Oh well, I guess I can get over him.' Kagome thought and blurted "What comes around, goes around" 'Where did that come from?????????????????????? I love Inuyasha!!!!! How can I act like this?????????? Kagome, no baka!!!! You are supposed to mourn if your true love rejected you..' Then it hit her: "maybe Inuyasha wasn't my true love after all???? Maybe I didn't love him as much as I thought I did.....NO!!!! That's Immpossible!!!! Maybe it is..Maybe I love him as a brother!!! That's a possibility..I guess that was why I was hurt at first but wasn't surprised about him and Kikiyo..But, it still hurts" Kagome started to cry again, not over Inuyasha, but because of the confusion that she was in.. 'Perhaps my feeling for him weren't as strong as I thought.' Kagome thought.Kagome started for Kaede's village, when she bumped into something. Then she realized what/who she bumped into

"Kikiyo." Kagome said awestruck, and with a little bit of fear.

"Reincarnation.I do not know why, maybe that's because we share the same soul. Tell me about how you feel about me and Inuyasha.It's not like I care, I'll never let him go, but tell me.Kagome" Kikiyo said with some little kind of emotion. If Kagome didn't know better, she would've said it was concern. Kagome was very surprised.But somehow, she felt warm inside.Suddenly, Kagome found herself sitting down with Kikiyo by her side.

"I don't know.It feels like I wasn't surprised. By the way, you have Inuyasha, Congrats.Kikiyo, I am so confused: my emotions, they are confusing me a lot. I don't know what to do.I feel like I really didn't love Inuyasha as a lover, but as something else.But that has to be impossible.Kikiyo, I am so confused!!!" Kagome collapsed on Kikiyo crying.

Then, Kikiyo did the unexpected: she started to comfort Kagome.

"Shhh.It's okay...Don't cry.It's okay...You will find a path that will lead you to all of you answers when the time comes." Kagome raised her head and looked at Kikiyo's eyes, she saw concern in them..

"Thank you Kikiyo," Kagome said happily.. "I never thought that you cared." Before Kikiyo could respond, Kagome hugged her, and said, "I don't know how to thank you.Right now I really understand: my feeling for Inuyasha were just like a brother and a sister's feelings.It hurt, probably because it was sort of hard to let go." Kagome said.Kikiyo smiled. "Thank you Kikiyo very much.I don't know how to say this, but I am really happy that you're here," Kagome said happily. "That's what friends are for, and probably family for, because we share the same soul. Do you mind that I have a part of it?" Kikiyo asked the young miko, and what she said surprised Kikiyo and Kagome both.It was like they were sisters.

"Of course I don't mind, what gave you that idea??? And thank you for your concern and for being here right now.Should I say, sister???" Kagome said with happiness and uncertainty. Kikiyo just smiled.

"I tried to kill you before, do you not remember? Sister?"

"Friends learn to do each other favors, and forgive each other.and so do sisters.." Kagome was full of joy. "Kikiyo, can we just start over, and be friends and sisters? I always wanted to have a sister.."

"Of course, but didn't we just start over?" Kikiyo said with warmness.It was true, she really started to have emotions for the young miko.She even planned to pass Kagome the duty of being the priestess of the Shikon No Tama.She was glad that all things were settled between Kagome and her.

"Kagome, you're a good friend..Thank you" Kikiyo was very happy.While talking to Kagome, Kagome purified her, and there was a new sensation within the future ex-priestess.

Kagome was very happy. She now understood all of her emotions, well, most of them and was happy for Inuyasha and Kikiyo.She was also very glad that Kikiyo and her were like sisters. 'This is one of the best days of my life!' she thought happily.

"You're welcome. Kikiyo, can I ask you a question now that the things between us are settled.."

"Go ahead.." Kikiyo said friendly

[A/N: I know everything is out of place, but I didn't really want Kikiyo to be the villain here.She seems sort of misunderstood.I mean, she deserved Inuyasha 50 years ago.Everything would have been fine if Naraku didn't interfere..]

"Can you tell me about how you met Inuyasha?" Kagome said while Kikiyo and her went to sit by the God tree.

"Sure, it all started since.." Kikiyo began. She couldn't have been happier. She got a new sister and a new best friend. She really liked Kagome and for the 1st time in her life, she really felt like a normal person and she felt accepted and as an equal. Kagome listened eagerly.She was happy that she and Kikiyo became friends and she found out most of her feelings for Inuyasha. 'maybe I really did love him more than a friend or a brother' then she looked at Kikiyo who started talking about the past: how Inuyasha and her met and fell for each other 'but I couldn't be happier of seeing Inuyasha and Kikiyo.I guess I misjudged Kikiyo. She was misunderstood.I bet she would make a great addition to the team for our shard hunt.Kikiyo gave a part of the Shikon to Naraku, but she had a good reason-to destroy Naraku.That's why we all shall work together' Kagome thought happily and started to listen to now talking Kikiyo 'Well, it's a beginning of a new sisterhood and a new friendship,' Kagome thought excited. The new bond was formed.
