I am VERY, VERY, VERY SORRY for not warning you So I'll tell you now, when reading my stories ALWAYS have a dictionary present!(Intended for those who are not avid readers or dedicated scholars.)
Disclaimer: Sadly, I do NOT own Inuyasha and co. though Hiratsuki and Calcee are mine. Please respect my author privileges by not taking them.
Chapter 1: Evaluation
Dawn came, revealing two teens slumbering on a double-sized bed. Sea-blue eyes opened to gaze into the honey-caramel orbs which were now only slightly red rimmed. "Thank you Suki. I really needed to talk to someone." "Not a prob cuz. I'm just glad I could help you with your overly dramatic life." Hiratsuki said as she rose yawning. "But you know I'm going with you next time." Kagome shot up in bed and regarded her cousin with a considering gaze.
"How can you be so nonchalant about this? I've just told you that I use the shrine well to travel to the Shingoku Jidai where I battle demons and reprobate humans with a monk, demon slayer, kitsune, neko-youkai, and a inu-hanyou. Also that my previous incarnation walks the Earth seeking out tragically deceased souls to absorb until she can possess the rest of mine! No matter how understanding you are, that is just not logical - not even sane!", she gasped catching her breathe for the first time in three minutes.
"Wonderful! ...Maybe now I can talk?", Hiratsuki continues without a reply. "Besides the impossible reality of it all, you've told me that these fellow demon slayers are your best friends and surrogate family. I think it's wonderful to have people care for you that much. But competing with a walking corpse for a guy who doesn't want you is just insane! My diagnosis: you are in need of Therapy." Kagome gasped with incredulity.
"But you said you believe me! You said you'd help!" "Calm down! I do and I will. What I mean darling, is your infatuation with Inuyasha against Kikyou is a losing battle. This obsession is killing you and destroying your potential." Kagome wrenched away as Suki grabbed for her. "I love Inuyasha and I won't give up on him. One day he'll realize it too.", her eyes softening as she fantasized a future with her beloved.
Hiratsuki ran for the door. "Suki-chan?" "You're deluding yourself and I don't want to get infected by your stupidity. Let me know if sensibility hits you!" She closed the door without looking back. "She's so naive. Do you think she'll do, Talim?" An apparently bare hallway replied in a wispy voice. "She's perfect."
