Now to answer my reviews, that's right I said reviews. . I actually got some! Reviews:
Deathsangel4729 – Why thank you. But like I said I had taken some things out from the book Twins but I have made it my own so I guess I do deserve half the credit so thank you and I hope you enjoy the rest with whatever I come up with.
HIEI LOVERS – Thank you, I just made the words to be my own but you should really see the original story by Caroline B. Cooney. She's an awesome author. Oh and this update is just for you. Sorry if it's a bit… well… boring? But I promise that it will get much, much better. Reviews:
MooFasa The Dancing Cow – I agree, I love this story and I love making it into my own thing. I will indeed continue it so don't do anything drastic lol .
BitcheyBabe66 – Glad you love it. .
Chikuku x Ana ki – It will be a good story and you should check out the original story by Caroline B. Cooney. It's awesome although mine's a bit altered. I'll admit I like Kikyou but she's not my favorite. And I think you'll like how this story will turn out. .
Disclaimer: I used the plot from the book Twins written by Caroline B. Cooney. I don't own the characters from Inu-Yasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale or Yu-Yu Hakusho: Ghost Files. And before anyone reviews me saying this is plagiarizing I did not copy from the book word for word but I made it my own in a way and I did the official disclaimer too.
Enjoy!
Ch.2 Kikyou's Visit
>>>>>>>>Back At the Airport>>>>>>>>
Her mom actually had the nerve to hug her at the airport and spoke privately with her. "Do your best to make new friends, try hard and stay alive. I'm only doing this because I love you." Kagome was fighting back tears as she walked back to see her family the last time. Her Grandpa bowed as Souta embraced her with a tight hug, trying his best not to cry.
He wanted to stay strong for his favorite sister. "I'll write you everyday." Kagome smiled sadly, not wanting to leave. After their embrace she turned to her twin. Kikyou smiled brightly and said, "Good luck sis, have a nice trip." Kagome frowned, 'She's probably trying not to show her emotions so it won't be any harder for me to leave. Like what Souta's trying to do.'
Kagome left to board her plane, without as so much as a hug from her twin.
>>>>>>>>At The School>>>>>>>>
Kagome stood in front of her new school. It was a gray building made out of stones sitting on an enormous wide campus. Dark thick woods circled the school like from some old fairy tale. She missed Tokyo, she missed Yukina and Hiei, she missed Souta and her family, but most of all… she missed her sister. 'I feel so alone.'
She was alone. 'But I don't want to be alone. How do ordinary people stand it? Not to have someone by their side at all times. Not to be with someone you trust and love. It's just awful.'
Kagome slightly smiled, "Luckily for me, I'm not ordinary." True there were a few things that only twins could do. They could reach out and contact each other by invisible waves it was called twin waves. 'Kikyou, I need you.' Kagome poured her heart and soul trying to contact her sister.
Silence. Nothing happened. It was like Kagome was completely blocked out of Kikyou's life. This was her worst nightmare. She never expected this, never to be separated from her twin. Kagome even planned to have a double wedding with Kikyou. She even believed they would die together. 'I'm alone,' Kagome cried in her mind. 'And Kikyou agreed to it.'
Fighting tears once again, she crossed the campus and entered the school. All that went through her mind was how much she didn't want to make friends and how much she just wanted Kikyou by her side like before. 'It's too hard to make friends, I'm already exhausted and I haven't introduced myself to a single person.'
The dormitory was enormous and filled with so many strange girls that Kagome would have to identify and learn their names. 'They seem to know each other already…' Her head hung down as she walked up the third floor and entered the dorm room she was assigned. Two girls were chatting away in the room and Kagome assumed they were her roommates. "Hi, I'm Kagome."
It felt so strange to not introduce Kikyou too. It was like half an introduction for half of a twin set. The girls smiled, knowing how if felt to be a new student. "I'm Botan," her first roommate introduced herself.
She had a perky smile and magenta eyes. Her long, straight, baby blue hair was pulled back in high ponytail. It was just as perky as her attitude. "I'm Keiko," said her second roommate. This girl had brown eyes and short light brown hair that almost reached her shoulders.
"Welcome to Yoshihiro High Boarding School." They both greeted. "It's both mine and Keiko's second year here, that's why they assigned you with us. So we can show you how things go around here and where to go." Botan giggled all perky.
Kagome sighed, 'Okay… I can do this… these girls are nice… I can try to survive.' She forced a smile as she set her two leather suitcases down and unpacked.
>>>>>>>>The Next Day>>>>>>>>
Kagome stood in the main hallway of the school and look at the large school calendar posted on the wall. She noticed that she wouldn't be going home until Christmas! 'No! Not fair! I have to stay here for four months straight? …I won't even be able to go home for Thanksgiving! How evil!' Tears formed up in Kagome's eyes. 'This is beyond not fair.'
Kagome had learned that on the third floor that there was already a Kohanna, a Kagura, a Kaede, a Kage, and a Kikome. Kagome was another similar name to these girls; a name that was mixed up with a pool of names in their memories. Not one person got Kagome's name right so they just called her by her last name, Higurashi. To Kagome, it felt like they didn't even bother to try and remember her name. 'Kikyou… I need you here with me.'
The twin waves were still silent. It made Kagome feel even more alone. No matter how nice Botan and Keiko were to her, she felt like her heart and soul were empty and lonely. Kagome never had to make friends before. She was born with a friend by her side at all times.
Oh, how she felt homesick. No matter how many times Keiko and Botan introduced her to friends, giving hugs or smiles; she just wanted to go home. At night, even more filled up with loneliness, she saw that her Mom and Grandpa were right. She felt like she was nothing without her twin.
When Kikyou and Kagome entered a room, it caused a commotion. People were amazed. Twins are rare. Identical twins were striking. Beautiful identical twins were an Event. Now that she was not with Kikyou, she was just one beautiful black haired girl stuffed in a school with many other beautiful girls. She was not an Event anymore. She was the opposite… ordinary.
At dinner, seats were assigned but at breakfast or lunch girls would arrive once they were hungry or awake. Kagome always wanted to sit in a packed table, along with Botan and Keiko, but she always sat alone, wishing her twin would magically appear. Or at least to return to the life she once had, back to her home, her friends, family, Hiei, and back to Kikyou. Back to the things that were good in her life.
Kagome ignored anything good at Yoshihiro Boarding School. Within a short amount of time, Kagome was labeled as the loser who had no friends and never would, the kind of girl that would always sit alone and avoid human contact. Keiko and Botan continued to be nice to her by duty but secretly asked for Kagome to be relocated to another dorm.
Kagome would observe the friendships in the dorms and longed to have one of her own. 'How lovely that would be!' She yearned inside. 'Maybe if I was not a twin then I could have had such a friendship with Yukina… even Hiei. But my chances had blown away because I was too absorbed with Kikyou that I didn't even give such a friendship a shot.'
Kagome had never told Botan or Keiko or anyone for that matter that she had a twin. Along with her many orders that came with Separation, Grandpa and Mom ordered Kagome to not speak of even having an identical twin. She felt like she was hiding it like a shameful secret. But Grandpa had said, "No, you're suppose to forget it like a crippled past and be your own person."
'How can I forget being an identical twin?'
At boarding school, you'd live in the present. Very little history was known. It was like they all abandoned something from their life. People never asked for your background and they quit asking Kagome anything.
Kagome constantly though of home and thought of what questions she should've asked her mom and grandpa. This had to be more than spending too much time with Kikyou. Why didn't they just make Kagome sign up for different classes in school? Sign up for different after school activities? They could've just sent her to a different school close by. Why send her nearly a thousand miles away?
Botan and Keiko would sometimes scold her fore not trying to make any friends, making no effort at all and said that if she was lonely that it was her own damn fault. 'My own fault… my own damn fault. All my fault and not Kikyou's at all or they wouldn't have sent me away. But what did I do?'
It was a struggle for Kagome to communicate with Kikyou. They never even had to really speak to each other, since they knew what the other one was going to say or do, much less even write letter to each other. Nonetheless, Kagome wrote to Kikyou twice a week.
Dear Kikyou, …I want to come home. I miss you a lot and it's awful here without you.
Kagome couldn't write that. This whole idea was to prove Kagome's normalcy and whining in letters to Kikyou was proof that she wasn't ready to come home yet. At least to her parents. Instead Kagome wrote lies.
I'm on the soccer team.
A lie.
Everything's great, I made plenty of friends.
A bigger lie.
My roommates Keiko and Botan are wonderful and really nice.
That much was true.
My English teacher, Mr. Takahashi, says I'm a great writer, he thinks my stories are wonderful.
Another lie, Mr. Takahashi has actually gave her a C on her last two papers.
Kikyou's letters were full of lies too and she didn't write as often as Kikyou did.
Glad to hear you're having a nice time. I am having a perfect year; everything's going great. This was a good idea! What wonderful times I'm having.
Kagome didn't doubt that Grandpa and Mom was supervising her letters. She could see them throw away the letters of Kikyou's true feelings, how awful it was without her and how she wished she would come back. And that they had made her rewrite a letter full of lies. How awful those words were, stricking Kagome's heart: I am having a perfect year; everything's going great. This was a good idea!
Kagome would wonder about something their mother had said. "Kikyou will stay here under supervision." She often pondered about that sentence. 'Since when did we ever need supervision?'
Though Kagome didn't get many letters from Kikyou, she got many from Souta. Many would be like:
Dear Sis,
I miss you a lot. It's not the same here without you. I'm doing well in soccer; I'll be captain if I keep up the good work. Hope everything's going great over there. Grandpa and Mom send you their love two. I can't wait until you get home.
Letters like that from Souta made her feel slightly better but wondered why they wouldn't let Kikyou send letters like that. 'I guess since Souta isn't my twin that it's okay for him to tell me he misses me.'
Slowly, like torture, Christmas was just inching closer. 'Only twenty more days until I see Kikyou. To once again know what someone else is thinking. To have move exactly the same way at the same time just by habit.'
Kagome was overly joyful when she returned home from boarding school.
To Be Continued……
Well I hoped you all enjoyed the chapter and sorry if it was boring. I hope I get more reviews and I'll continue this story as long as people want me to. Oh and trust me this will get much better. Laterz.
