younger brother, younger sister, and lifeguard can do that to you. I don't
know HOW many times I got knocked off the hill (inner tube). pulls at face Anywho! My mind is going at a blank. Probably because I'm restless

"Maiden's Symphony"! grinz But that doesn't mean I won't write in my
other stories. shifty eyes Yeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssss............................I have no idea
why I put that there. Shows how tired I am, ne?
Disclaimer: They're mine. They're wonderful. Wanna argue? Meet my army of
penguins.
Calm Before the Storm
Chapter 6 Mistaken
'Kikyo,' Inu-Yasha thought as he stood on the back of Kagome's bike.
"Lazy day, huh? But it sure is beautiful. And hot."
"Are you glad we found your pack and bike on our way to Kaede's, Kagome?" Sango asked.
"Yes. The only bad thing is I forgot to pack an extra set of clothes."
"Remember, we're still on our way to Kaede's since Kagome's contraption can't go any faster."
"Then would you mind getting off?!"
"Feh," Inu-Yasha jumped off and started to walk along side.
"Have you noticed that Inu-Yasha has been quite touchy lately?" Miroku whispered to Sango and Shippo.
"Yes, I have noticed that too," Sango replied.
"Wonder why," Shippo added.
"Inu-Yasha?"
"Yeah?"
"Well, since we're going to Kaede's, I was wondering......." Kagome started.
"No."
"What? Why?!"
"We're just going to Kaede hag's to get you some clothes."
"But couldn't I just go home for that?!"
"You'll take too long, we'll lose the lead I just got."
"A lead?"
"On a shikon shard, what else?"
"Alright. It's too nice a day to argue with you."
Inu-Yasha's ears twitched. He eyed her suspiciously, trying to catch any pity in her eyes. When he found none, he decided to drop the idea.
Once at Kaede's, Miroku sat outside talking with Inu-Yasha.
"When do you think Naraku will strike again?"
"Hopefully soon, I can't wait to tear him limb from limb!" Inu-Yasha growled.
"We probably won't be hearing from him for quite some time, he's most likely setting up more traps. We should be careful."
"I agree, no need to rush into something when we're blind," Sango said.
"Okay! Let's go!" Kagome smiled walking up to them. She was dressed like a priestess with her hair done up in the traditional style.
Inu-Yasha turned around, 'Kikyo? Gosh, why do I keep mixing them up?! Kagome....looks......pretty.'
'Why's he looking at me like that?!' Kagome thought angrily.
"Kagome's blushing and Inu-Yasha's looking at her weird," Shippo petted Kirara.
"I wonder why they're acting like that," Sango whispered.
"Oh ho, I was right the first time," Miroku chuckled.
"Master Naraku, forgive me for asking but exactly what is your plan?" Kohaku asked.
"It's too complicated to explain, but you will have another encounter with Sango soon. Do you promise to slay her? And Kirara?"
"Yes, Master Naraku."
"Heh. Good boy."
"Am I a part of your plan?"
"Yes, indeed you are."
"There's the town old man Myoga spoke of," Sango started to quicken her pace.
"At this rate we'll have all of the shards in no time!" Inu-Yasha said.
Kagome smiled, but her happiness quickly drained. She stopped dead, sensing something.
"Kagome?" Sango stopped.
"What is it Kagome?" Inu-Yasha looked back, concerned.
"I-it's a Shikon shard, close by. It's just a little bit defiled, like the demon just took possession of it......."
"But that's not all, is it Kagome? I can tell by your face you sense something else," Miroku looked around.
"Yeah, I do. The air, I feel..........weird. Almost like I've been here before, but not," Kagome shrugged it off. "Well whatever it is, I'm certain something horrible has happened here."
Inu-Yasha sniffed the air. "Now that you mention it, there is a light scent of blood, and death, and dirt, and," Inu-Yasha sniffed again to make sure. "It may just be Kagome, but I smell incense."
Suddenly, a yell of joy erupted from a small girl. The girl began to run toward them with tears brimming in her eyes.
"What the-" Inu-Yasha got ready to defend his friends, his hand hovering by the hilt of his blade.
But the child didn't even seem to acknowledge him. She ran straight into the arms of.........Kagome.
The young girl clutched Kagome's neck as if her life depended on it. Everyone stood around the pair dumbfounded. Kagome looked the same way as the child spoke.
"Lady Kikyo! Lady Kikyo! You left and never came back! But before you left you asked for my forgiveness! I forgive you m'lady! I forgive you! Please don't ever leave again!"
"Ki-Kikyo?" Kagome breathed, looking more than a little shocked. "I'm sorry, but I'm not Kikyo."
The girl stepped away, shaking her head. "But, you gotta be her! You look exactly like her! You're wearing her clothes! You have to be Lady Kikyo!"
Kagome's eyes went downcast as she tried to deal with the emotion this mistake brought. "I'm sorry, I'm not. I'm Kagome, not Kikyo."
"But-"
"I'm her reincarnation."
"Oh. So, what the monk said was true. M'Lady's of the world of the dead. It all makes sense. She told me her soul was past saving."
Kagome looked concerned at the child, unsure of what to do. Inu-Yasha looked even more concerned at what Kikyo had said.
"Lady Kagome."
"Yes?"
"Do you know anything about the plants and flowers?"
"Yeah, actually I do. Why?"
"Will you teach me about them? I'm going to be the priestess of this village when I grow up."
"Sure," Kagome smiled warmly down at the child.
The child's face broke into a giant smile, she took Kagome's hand in hers and led her away.
"Well. That was interesting," Miroku thought out loud. "But remember, we heard that Kikyo had killed a monk. She may have killed him because he discovered her."
"But, boy is Kagome in a tight spot," Sango calmed Kirara down.
"Unfortunately, Kagome has always been in a tight spot."
