(Notes: Okay, this isn't a story as much as it is just Kikyo's thoughts after Kagome returns her to life. KikyoxKagome. Something new to the table, eh?)

Alike in Body and Soul

Don't look at me that way. I know what you're thinking. "You need to come back…if only for his sake." You act as if I thought of him night and day, that I dream of him when I sleep and think of him as I walk. I was that way in the past but recently…I've changed…he's changed…all because of you. At the beginning, I hated you. I felt as if I were being replaced. Now I know…that even though we are alike in body and soul there is something that makes us different.

I see the way his yellow eyes hang on you like berries on a bush. The increasing longing he has for you. It's funny to admit but…he's not alone. What I mean to say is that a lot of people desire you. The village men, that wolf man, and I've even caught some women staring at you. A woman I know all too well in particular.

You have also noticed how many people desire me. How Inuyasha pours passion on me like a waterfall upon rocks. How foolish he is thinking that he could take me from…I mean…uh… never mind. My feelings are not that important…

Kagome, I burn with a passion for you. I love you more than Inuyasha ever could! I long to hold you close…kiss your warm lips…please don't be scared. My love is sincere and my desire endless. For fifty long years I lived in the endless torture of hell wishing for Inuyasha's arms to embrace me and take me away. Now all I want is the beautiful maiden he protects relentlessly. I know we'd have to hide it from him lest his heart shatter completely. Be mine my dear sweet miko…please…be mine…
