CHAPTER 9:

UNEXPECTED VISITOR

A/N: YAY! I FINALLY UPDATED! Wow…I can't believe I wrote this far! Well, enjoy the story. Um, okay, enjoy the rest of the story!

"Kikyooo!"

Kikyo, a nine year old walked up to her sister. "Yes?"

"I think it's starting to rain…" she said. "I'm getting cold."

"I think you're correct!" Kikyo put her jacket around her sister. "Better?"

"Yup!" the little girl put her hands in the pocket. "What's this?" she pulled out a bracelet with shiny beads.

"Oh! It's my bracelet that I won a long time in school before we moved."

"It's pretty."

Kikyo smiled at her little sister. "You can have it!"

"Really!" her little sister smiled.

"Yup! All yours!"

Her little sister smiled all the way back home. "Arigato Kikyo!"
Kikyo woke up from her dream. She wiped her eyes. "Omigod…why…this…why this dream…!" Tears fell down from her cheeks.

"You ready?" Inuyasha asked.

Kikyo nodded. She blushed as Inuyasha stared at her. "Please…stop staring…"

"Why?" he walked up to her. "You're so beautiful…I can't stop looking at you…" he put his arm around her. Kikyo blushed.

"Well…let's go now…" she rushed into the car.

"Kikyo…what's wrong? You're so…"

"Gomen…I'm just not used to this anymore…"

Inuyasha kissed her on the lips. "Get used to it then…"

Kikyo blushed. "Uh…"

The two went off to the hospital. When they arrived, a nurse confronted them. "Kikyo? Wow…you look great."

Kikyo bowed down. "Um…arigato…"

Inuyasha was confused. "Er…Kikyo…do you know her..?"

Kikyo nodded. "Oh yes, she helped take care of me." Kikyo looked around. "Hm…"

"What are you looking for?"

"I had a dream…that I was here…and then. I met someone…someone that I missed…" she sighed. "It was my family…"

"Oh…" Inuyasha said. "Well, I'm always here, Kikyo."

Kikyo smiled. "Arigato, Inuyasha-kun."

Suddenly, a nurse bumped into them. "Gomenasai."

"Uh-it's okay…" Inuyasha said.

"I'm in a hurry. Um, can you by any chance help me carry this real quick to room 216?"

"Uh, yeah. Sure!" Inuyasha said. He carried the tray and followed the nurse.

Kikyo followed. As the three entered the room, Inuyasha set the tray down. "We really must be going…hey Kikyo…where are we going anyways?" Inuyasha turned around only to see a child with an eye patch on her eye. "H-Hey! You! You're the girl that I first saw when Kagome dragged me here"

Kikyo rushed out of the room all of a sudden.

"Kikyo! Wait! Uh-"

"Sir?" the girl walked up to Inuyasha. "Who was she…?"

Inuyasha gulped. "Uh…she's Kikyo…"

"Ki…kyo…?"

:X:X:X:X:

Kikyo sat on the hospital couches on the first floor.

"Kikyo!" Inuyasha panted.

"Inuyasha…" she wiped her eyes. "Gomenasai for running off like that…"

Inuyasha went up and hugged her. "Don't do that again! Geez! Stop scaring me like crazy!" Inuyasha pulled her close. "Wait! Just tell me what's happening!"

"I have no idea…but suddenly my heart just beated so fast…and I felt like I couldn't breathe. For some reason…I was so scared…"

"It's okay Kikyo…" he comforted her. "It'll be alright…"

"L-Let's go…" Kikyo said in a low voice.

"Wait! Kikyo!" Inuyasha reached for Kikyo. Suddenly, in a flash, Kikyo fell over, collapsing on the ground.

"Kikyo!" Inuyasha yelled. "KIKYOOO!"

:X:X:X:X

Kikyo awoke. She rubbed her tired eyes and she had a headache. It took her time to realize where she was. "Inuyasha…?" Kikyo got out of bed. She looked all over for Inuyasha in her room. Her heart beated fast. Why am I so scared! I-Inuyasha won't leave me…no…he won't. Why am I scared all of a sudden? But where is he? Kikyo could feel an unusual feeling crawl up her throat. Where is he…! Kikyo shook her head. No…I shouldn't get so worked up… Suddenly, she remembered what happened. "Kaede…" she whispered to herself.

The door flung open. "Hello?"

Kikyo looked to see who it was. She widened her eyes.

"Oh I'm sorry. I'm in the wrong room." said a girl in eye patches.

Kikyo wiped her eyes. What is this fear inside me…? "Kaede…"

"Miss…? How do you know my name?"

Kikyo ran and hugged the little girl. I feel like I know her…

"Are you alright miss? Am I scaring her?"

Kikyo looked at the girl. "What…?"

"You look so pale…and scared? Are you okay?"

Kikyo let go of the girl. "Yes..."

"Then why are you in the hospital?"

"Why are you in the hospital?" Kikyo asked her back.

"Well, a long time ago, I was in a car crash and every year in need to go to the hospital to get treatment on my eye."

"I have leukemia…" Kikyo said.

"Leukemia…oh I'm sorry." Kaede said. "Well, good bye…!"

"Wait!" Kikyo yelled. What am I doing? "Do you have a sister?"

Kaede paused. "No…why?"

"Nothing…" Kikyo said.

Kaede turned around. "Um…miss. I feel like I know you…"

Kikyo nodded. "Yes…so do I…" she mumbled to herself. Suddenly, tears fell out of her eyes. Why am I crying…?

Kaede ran to Kikyo. "Are you okay?" Kaede put her hand on Kikyo's cheek. A bracelet fell down.

"What's that?" Kikyo had her eyes fixed on the bracelet.

"Oh…I think I've had it since I was small…someone gave to me…"

Kikyo started getting memories in her head. Kikyo smiled at her little sister. "You can have it!"

"Really!" her little sister smiled.

"Yup! All yours!"

"Arigato Kikyo!"

Kikyo looked up at Kaede. "Kaede…"

"Hai?"

"I was the one who gave you that bracelet…Kaede." Kikyo cried. "I am your sister."

Kaede stared into Kikyo's deep brown eyes. Silence. "Sister…" Kaede repeated to herself. She fixed those words into her mouth. "Sister…"

Kikyo didn't know what she was feeling. Was it the feeling she had felt when she first saw Inuyasha? Fear? Fear that she would not be accepted? Or another fear. Fear that Inuyasha would not lover her back. No, it was a new fear. Fear that…fear that she would be alone again when her only family member walked away from her, not able to acknowledge that Kikyo was her family.

Kikyo couldn't take it anymore. "Kaede! I-"

"Kikyo…" tears fell down her cheeks. "My sister…" she cried.

Kikyo widened her eyes. Kaede had accepted her as her sister. She hugged Kaede as hard as she could. "Kaede-chan…! Kaede-chan!"

"Kikyo…" Kaede remembered her horrible memories in school.

"You're a loner!"

"LONER! GET AWAY FROM US! YOU ONLY HAVE ONE EYE! MONSTER!"

"MONSTERRRR!"

Kaede looked up at Kikyo. "Don't-Don't leave me…ever again…okay."

Kikyo wiped her eyes. "Of course not…I will continue fighting this disease…so I can be with you and my other loved ones…I will not give up."

Kaede fell asleep on Kikyo's lap. "Sister…"
