"K-Kikyou?" Inuyasha gently placed Kagome on the soft moss of the forest
floor. Why was Kikyou after Kagome's soul? [we all know but Inu is clueless
as usual] "Why? Kikyou, why are you after Kagome? What has she done to
you?"
"Inuyasha, I am merely claiming the part of my soul that still resides in the girl." Kikyou said, her voice void of emotion. There was a sudden change in Kagome's soul as it forced it's way into Kikyou's body, Kikyou's smile faded as the mist entered her body and she collapsed. Unsure what to do, Inuyasha carried both miko's back to Kaede's hut, and was berated with questions by the others.
"I-I'm not sure what happened." Inuyasha stared blankly at the two women before him, what had happened to the Kikyou he knew? And Kagome, was she... gone? He was torn from his thoughts as Kikyou stirred from her sleep. "Kikyou? What have you done?" Inuyasha stopped at the horrified expression on Kikyou's face. "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" (*scream*) Inuyasha covered his ears and shut his eyes trying to block out the painful sound. When he opened his eyes Kikyou and Kagome were gone. "$&!#"
Hearing Inuyasha's exclamation Sango and Miroku entered followed shortly by Shippou. "Inuyasha? What hap-""I DON'T KNOW!" Inuyasha yelled. He cursed again and sped out the door following the faint scent of the two mikos deep into the forest. He often lost their scent because of the all encompassing mist that seemed to follow Inuyasha like a shadow, but he persisted until night fell and his legs refused to carry him any farther. How had Kikyou been able to move so fast carrying Kagome?

Kagome stared across the clearing at Kikyou, Kikyou in Kagome's body. She now understood why Kikyou was so temper mental, Kagome had a hard time controlling the doll-like limbs. "I want my body back" Kikyou glared coldly at Kagome as if this was all somehow her fault. "You'd still have it if you hadn't tried to kill me" Kagome hissed. She looked at Kikyou a moment, then had an idea. "why don't you do whatever you did last time and we'll hope we end up in the right bodies?" Kikyou seemed to consider this for a moment then shook her head slowly. "No, it took all my energy just to do it once, it would take both of us at full strength to repeat the feat." Kagome looked at her confused "but, if it takes both of us how did you do it the first time?" at this Kikyou looked at Kagome with pitying eyes, something in her snapped. She didn't want Kikyou's pity! She wanted her own body back! She wanted her life back before Kikyou and the Shikon jewel stole it away! She wanted Inuyasha!
"You wished you were me." Kikyou had managed to seem almost exactly like herself, even though she was in Kagome's body, with the exception of her voice which had that eternally cheerful note even Kikyou couldn't dispel. "That was enough for your subconscious to assist me" Kagome dwelled on this. Yes, in a way she had wished she were Kikyou. In the jumble of thoughts and emotions that had consumed her she must have wished she were Kikyou, for Kikyou held Inuyasha's heart, even if she was slowly breaking it, she had it.
~*~*~*~
Inuyasha entered in on the two mikos. Kagome[which is really Kikyou] was giving Kikyou[which is really Kagome] a look of pity he had never seen on her face before, and Kikyou[Kag] had a look torn between extreme rage and extreme depression. They noticed him, their heads turning in unison both looking unsure if they should be happy to see him.
[okay, from now on I will refer to them a Kag and Kik when I'm talking about who they really are, and Kagome and Kikyou as Inuyasha sees them]
