Chapter Five: Two Souls Meet

September 30th

Kagome yawned loudly as she rested her head on the table beside her math book. If it hadn't been for that little nap she took in history class, there was no way she would have been able to stay up long enough to finish her homework.

Sleepily she gazed at the mirror and tried to see the world her reflection lived in.

"Kikyo…"

As if summoned, an image appeared in the mirror. It was her. It was Kikyo.

The two girls sat staring at each other with mouths slightly open and eyes wide. Though they had seen each other many times in their dreams, this was the first time they were actually awake.

"Are you real?" They whispered in unison.
