Hey ya'll. Well, I promised my imouto I'd update this story next, so here I am…and anyways, I hope to update all of my stories this summer. Or at least a lot of them…Sorry it's short.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters from Inuyasha, but I own the plot. So there! XP
Dedication: To Aya, for inspiring me and helping me come up with a plot.
Kagome yawned and buried her head deeper into the pillow. There was a light tugging at her blankets and she mumbled something and rolled over, holding onto the blankets. There was an annoyed huff, and then something whacked her feet, which were now sticking out. Kagome kicked, smirking into her pillow when she connected. She could almost sense Kikyo throw up her arms in frustration.
"Fine. Be late for school." A door opened and closed. Kagome sighed in bliss at being able to get back to her lovely and fantastic sleep.
"Waitaminute…" Kagome muttered into her pillow.
"KYAAAA!" Kagome jumped out of bed and immediately—since she was tangled in the blankets—fell out of bed, her head and upper body on the floor, and her legs on the bed still. She groaned and then began to race around the room, pulling on her green and white school uniform (whoever thought that having the girls wear a miniskirt during winter needed to be shot). She then proceeded to pull on her socks and ran a brush through her hair. Kagome grabbed her notebook off her desk, raced down the stairs, got to the door, slid into her shoes, and ran out the door.
A few seconds later the door flew open. "KIKYO! IT'S SUNDAY!"
Kikyo sat at the table and let a small smile come to her face as Kagome stomped upstairs to change. She calmly sipped her tea as she read her magazine. Her long fingers turned the page slowly. She sensed, rather than heard, her twin coming into the kitchen. Kagome flopped onto a seat across from her and glared.
"That wasn't funny."
"I thought it was."
"You lied to me."
"If it had been Monday, you would have been late."
"It's friggin' 6 AM!"
"I didn't think you'd get ready so fast. And keep your voice down, you don't want to wake Mother, do you?"
Kagome shook her head. "Anyways…we didn't even get home till almost midnight…how come you can survive on five hours of sleep and still look pretty? Whereas I get five hours and look like a demon?" She let out a yawn to prove her point. "I thought we were twins. We should have the same genetics."
"Because I'm that good." She slid a cup of tea across the table to Kagome, who took it gratefully.
"Arigato. By the way, how did the date go? Is Sesshoumaru 'the one'?" Kagome waggled her eyebrows. Kikyo rolled her eyes, a smile tugging at her lips.
"It went okay, for a first date. He was so polite, if reserved. It was kind of hard…because he's as reserved as me, so conversation was tough. But…I do like him. I don't know if he's 'the one' as you call it, but he's nice." The twins sat in silence for a few moments, until Kikyo looked at Kagome sideways with a leer. "So what about you Kagome? Is Jaken the one?"
Kagome threw her bread, hitting Kikyo in the head.
Higurashi Ritsuko dressed and slipped out of the shrine, avoiding her two daughters…who would have thought they'd be up so early? The woman walked quietly, head bowed, to the Goshinboku. She looked up at it and let a bittersweet smile play on her lips. 'This tree…so important to this family…so many things have happened here… And so many things shall happen here.' She stepped closer to the tree and touched its rough bark. "Keep them safe."
Kagome whistled as she watched the bustling shrine. Kikyo, wearing the traditional miko garb, was talking to passing visitors. Her grandpa was at the souvenir stand, selling charms and such. Souta and Kaede were inside taking care of Buyo, Kagome's fat cat who she loved, as well as cleaning their rooms. Kagome was supposed to be watching them…and she was, she really was. She just wanted to get some fresh air. That's all. After all, how much trouble can two eight-year-olds get into in less than five minutes?
BOOM. CRASH. CREAK.
Kagome paled as she heard Kaede shushing a giggling Souta.
Well, short, yes. But oh well. If anyone is concerned that Kikyo is not acting like she should, don't worry. She grew up in a completely different atmosphere than in the show, and since she doesn't need to protect against demons, there's no need to be as pressured as she was. But still… That might change…
And now for the responses .I love writing these! (But due to time and space concerns, I will only be responding to those who actually leave something to respond to, as opposed to "plz update soon".):
Neo Kei: If Inu put two and two together, he'd prolly get 4.5. And then he'd end up getting mad and buying some ramen. And yes, blind dates are lies. Why do you think they call them "blind"? lol.
DarkRoseAngelScarlet: Yeah, it'd be kinda weird… But at the moment, Inuyasha and Kagome aren't dating, so it's not weird…yet. , ,
MoonyMonster: I make him attractive, hm? Go me. That's a testament to mah "skills", yes? Lol. And sorry about the Japanese. I'm trying to quit. (That sounds like what my dad says about smoking…)
Neko-Girl Lara: Well, I might keep them together and I might not. I have more stuff in plan…and Inuyasha has a lot of people to love him…like…uhm…uhm…I'm sure there's someone else…
Micah: Glad you loved it. Maybe he is shy and was just too drunk to care. Lol.
I Am Inu: Hehehe…good doggy! Roll over! –pats your head-
Snowfire: To be honest…the fact that she was exposed while she went to the car didn't even occur to me…-sweatdrop- But! I can say I never typed that and just address that issue later. Thanks for pointing it out. And thanks for the compliments!
Keeper of the Void: -puts her story back together- I'm glad you love it.
DemonBlade: -gets a bat on the back- AAAAAAAAAAAH! I know I haven't updated, but still! Hey…I don't have a muscle cramp anymore…yay! Thanks.
CX-chan: Yeah, I hate it when Kagome and Kikyo are compared. But, in the IY storyline, it's actually crucial that they are so you can see how different they are, and why Inuyasha will end up with her.
To everyone else who reviewed, thank you so much! Lova!
