Struck: Chapter Two
Kikyou awoke to the sound of her mother softly knocking on her door.
"Kikyou dear, please wake up dinner is ready."
"Alright Mom, I'm awake and I will be down in a minute."
"We will be waiting for you honey." Her Mother replied softly. Sighing, Kikyou sat up from her comfortable, white bed. Observing that the sun had fallen outside Kikyou stood and walked towards her door.
Quietly shutting it she carefully approached her destination, the dining room. Seeing her mother having trouble with the bowl of Chow Mien she helped carry it towards the long mahogany table.
Gracefully she sat down upon her chair on her father's right, across from her mother. Mr. Higurashi bowed his head in prayer followed by Kikyou and her dainty mother. Silently they all gave thanks and soon began their meal. "Father, what was it that you wished to tell us?"
Setting down his chopsticks he then dabbed his mouth with a napkin and replied," Kikyou, Haru, I have something to tell you both." He pauses, "This is hard to tell you but on my travels to San Francisco in America I came across another Higurashi. Who happened to be named Kagome."
Mrs. Higurashi interrupts, "You mean... she's... it couldn't be..."
"Who...What are you talking about Mother, Father?" Kikyou replies as with confusion written on her face she looks at her parents.
"Kikyou when you were born...we told you we were not financially well off right?"
"Yes I do."
"Well on May 12, 1984 your mother gave birth to twins, and well, we were unable to raise two children so we put up your twin sister for adoption."
"You mean I have a sister?" Kikyou weakly replied for the room was spinning.
"Yes Kikyou, and well, I preferred for her to stay with us until high school is over for her and you. She accepted my proposal and would like to come here in one month's time. I'm sorry we did not tell you about your sister, but we wanted you to continue to be an only child."
"Oh... It's alright Father, really I'm okay with that. May I be excused I need to rest, I suddenly do not have the urge to eat."
"Don't worry Honey, we know it's a lot to take in you go to sleep now to let it sink in." Her mother replied. Kikyou thanked them and propelled her self foreword in a trance like state to her room.
When Kikyou reached her room she just fell onto her bed. Sighing again, she turned onto her back. While staring at the ceiling, her thoughts were focused on I have a sister, a twin sister. I am going to meet her in a month. Maybe this could be fun; I have sometimes wondered what a sister was like.....
Author's Note: Once again I want to shower my reviewers with praise and gratitude...I literally do not have much time on my hands. I shall soon be focusing on other people's points of view... anyone have an ideas on how I should portray the character's. Remember I love reviews and if no one does that I might just purposefully screw with the characters...and no will probably like it. I am only joking I would be nothing if no one reads this for what would be the point. That could be argued but I shall just cease my prattle and shall leave you with this chapter to stew.
