The Surprises of Life.

Chapter 1

Journal entry: 1) February 1st 2001

My name is Kagome Higrashi. I am 17 years old. I am writing in here so I never forget who I am. Also, so I'll never forget what I am. I am a Miko, I am a twin, and I am dangerous. My sister is doing the same in her journal. Her name is Kikyo Higrashi. She is 17 years old too. If you haven't guessed we are twins. Not just twins, identical twins. We were about 6 when we lost our parents to a car crash. Nobody wanted to adopt twins.

Especially when we wouldn't be separated. We were only dependent on each other. Our social worker claims we wouldn't play with any of the other children. At age 10, a man from the states took us in. His name is Tessio. Tessio trained us in all weapons and all forms of combat. He had an old Miko named Kade come and train our physic abilities. We were home-schooled for those years. Now we have to go to high school for our last year. Tomorrow will be our first day. I still carry the weight of my most prized secret on my shoulders, as does my sister. Maybe one day I'll tell you but till then, we will not discuss that topic. Well, that is all I can think of for tonight. Good night, write in you tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Kagome Higrashi

(Kagome's point of view.)

I closed the journal and sat back in my chair. 'What is it going to be like at school tomorrow? Will Kikyo and I have all the same classes?' "I have no idea and I hope so." That statement pulled me out of my thoughts. I sighed, "Kikyo…" "I know, I know. Sorry but you were thinking so hard it came to me." Kikyo interrupted.

The sad part is I know she's right and it's not her fault… crap. "What do you want Kikyo?" I said in an annoyed tone. Of course she just ignored my tone, she always did. "Well I was just wondering…can I sleep in here tonight?" Then she did it, the most deadly thing to any man and most women. She did the puppy face, my only weakness. I could never resist the puppy face. "Fine, go get your monkey and pillow." She ran out the door to gather her stuff.

Let me tell you about the stuffed animals Kikyo and I have. Kikyo has a white monkey and I have a white dog. We got them from our parents at birth. We never sleep without them, even at sleepovers.

About 30 seconds later Kikyo came in and jumped on my bed. I can't believe how hyper she is, we trained non-stop today. "Hey sis, can we have a girl talk? We haven't had one of those in a looong time." Kikyo asked. "Uh, yeah, if you want." I struggled to think of anything she didn't already know. "Oh, I know," thank God, "Did you get a look at the neighbors on our right? I think its three guys living together."

Great, just great. Her big idea is to talk about guys. Well, I guess I can't complain they were good looking… "Yeah, its four guys though. Well, five if you count the father." Okay so maybe I was watching them a little. "So do you think any of them have girlfriends?" I just rolled my eyes. "Kikyo do you even know what kind of people they are?" "Sure, they are in high school, they are all guys, they are cute… what more do I need to know? Oh, and at school they are troublemakers. They are perfect!" I just couldn't help it, I cracked up laughing. I laughed so hard, I fell off the bed.

"K&K what are you girls still doing up?" Tessio yelled up the stairs. K&K is Tessio's nickname for us. "We're going to bed right now dad! Love you!" Kikyo yelled back. "Ditto for me too dad!" I shouted after her. "Night girls, love you both too!" I grabbed my stuffed animal and motioned for Kikyo to get into bed. She quickly got over to the wall and hugged her monkey. I climbed in and reached over to shut off my lamp and flick on my alarm clock.

"Good night Kagome. I love you, the other half of my soul." Kikyo said quietly. "Good night Kikyo. I love you, the other half of my soul." I replied just as quietly. I listened as Kikyo's breathing became short and shallow. I know that no matter what we will be there to protect each other. The last thought that ran through my head was 'Here we come Shikon High.' Before the darkness over came me.

Chapter 2 ...

Okay so what do you think so far? This is my first fan fic so please be nice! I didn't want to make Kikyo evil and I'm not sure how to spell her name. If you know the correct spelling please tell me. Thanks for reading!
