"Enter."
Michiko walked in bowing before Kaede, "Lady Kaede would it be to much to bother a minute of your time?"
Kagome looked at Kaede and saw shock upon her face, "You may Lady Michiko. I must ask though may Kagome stay for this meeting?"
Michiko turned and smiled at Kagome who was still in the doorway, "But of course this meeting is all about her. Kagome, child, come in I promise you are in no trouble." Kagome stared at Michiko's beautiful face, and saw in her eyes shown only kindness.
Kagome nodded and walked into the room slidding the door shut behind her. She glanced at Kaede and saw that she did not seem mad at all. Just interested and a little bit confused. Kagome approached Kaede and she patted a cushion on her right for Kagome to sit upon.
Kaede smiled at Kagome's hesitance, "Remember that ceremony, child."
Kagome thought back, "Yes, the one where we drank from the same cup?"
Nodding Kaede explaind, "That ceremony made you my adopted daughter, Kagome. You will have to go through a simalar one with your older sister, and danna when you get one." Kagome nodded not understanding the term danna. If Kaede noticed she failed to give way any information.
"Now Lady Michiko, what is it you need to discuss about young Kagome here?" Kaede's voice took on a business like tone.
Michiko smiled, "Always the business type Lady Kaede. Even as a geisha." Michiko then got serious, "I wish to become Kagome's older sister when she becomes old enough."
Kagome was shocked, The beautiful Michiko wanted to become her older sister. Kaede seemed pleased witht this.
"I see, I was thinking of Kikyou for her older sister but..."
Michiko interupted her, "Kikyou is hardly sutiable to help and heir to this Teahouse out."
Kaede stared a Michiko, "I suppose you are right." She turned her gaze back to Kagome, "I doubt she would agree to become Kagome's older sister anyway."
"Very well, then Lady Kaede. Do I have your word that I may be Kagome's older sister?"
Smiling Kaede nodded, "Yes, you do. I believe you will help this Teahouse profit and are certainly qualified for the job." Kaede turned once more to Kagome. Who seemed to be sitting there shocked staring at the floor.
"Kagome." Kaede said softly as not to scare her out of her shock, "Would you like Michiko to be your older sister? I will allow you to decide but be warned if it is not Michiko it will probably be Kikyou."
Kagome looked up into Kaede's kind eyes and then looked at Michiko. Michiko was sitting there beautiful and wise. How on earth would she be able to survie with Kikyou, "I would be honored to be your younger sister, Lady Michiko." Kagome bowed to Michiko.
Michiko laughed, "That pleases me very much. After your lessons I wish you to come to my apartment. If that is alright with you Auntie."
Kagome turned and looked pleadingly at Kaede, "Please Aunti Kaede. I promise I'll do extra good in class and I'll still practice every night and..."
Kaede nodded and Kagome grinned.
"Very well, I shall be taking my leave I will see you tomarrow after your lessons. My maid will be waiting for you." Michiko stood gracfully and bowed to Kaede. She then smiled kindly at Kagome and took her leave.
Kaede turned to Kagome, "I am proud of you."
Kagome grinned beaming. She had pleased Kaede, and that was something that was hard to do. Kaede dismissed Kagome, and as Kagome stood she couldn't help but thank The Lord. For giving her this oppurtunity. She skipped gleefully out the door and headed down the hall to her room.
Kagome was so caught up in her happiness she didn't notice the foot sticking out. Stopping her.
Smack...
Kagome fell flat on the floor. She wimpered her ankle sore. She looked up to see Kikyou smiling evilly.
"Did wittle Kagome fall and get hurt?" She sneered, "Just because you have Michiko as your older sister doesn't mean anything."
Kikyou bent down to Kagome's level and pulled her hair, "I'll ruin you yet." Kikyou walk off her scowl firmly in place.
Kagome just stayed there sprawled on the floor, "Why Kikyou?" She whispered, still not understanding why her sister could hate her so much. Kagome stood and wipped her tears away. She walked to her room and sat down on her futon. Snuggling comfortingly under the covers.
Her final thought before drifting off to sleep was... Kikyou, this means war...
Kikyou though didn't not head to her room. She head straight for Kaede's room. She entered without knocking a glared at the older woman.
"How dare you allow my rival to come into this house!"
Kaede just stared levelly at the angered woman, "Kikyou, I do not wish to deal with you tonight. Please just go to bed."
Kikyou did not leave, "I will be Kagome's older sister, not that bitch."
"Kikyou," Kaede said sternly, "Do not speak ill of Michiko in my presence."
"Oh yes, I forgot," Kikyou sneered heading for the door, "Before she was Michiko she was Kagura, your daughter." Kikyou laughed slidding the door shut with a slam. Kaede just sighed tiredly. Yes she was my daughter, she thought, but she is no longer...
