Review Time!

HeartStar – You got your wish. I updated soon . Didn't think that I would that soon did ya? Lol and I'm glad you find it interesting.

Cold Kikyo - . I'm happy that you liked it. And yep… updated!

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. 3 Not Twins Anymore and A Secret Wish

Nothing happened. Kagome stood in front of her twin. Kikyou, her lost fraction had remained lost. Kagome could no longer read Kikyou; she didn't know what was going on in her sister's head. She was not linked to her twin's mind or heart. 'They had accomplished what they wanted.' Kagome's heart cried.

Kikyou and Kagome were now separate.

Kagome could remember when they were forced to sleep in different bedrooms. It took them months to sleep with a wall between them, now the wall between Kagome and her sister was invisible and it separated them even more. '…And Kikyou's glad about it…'

In Kagome's old room she tried to reason with her sister. "Kikyou, you must want me back, don't you miss me at all?" Her heart felt sick, like it just got off a roller coaster after riding it for five hours. "Well, of course I do, Omae." Omae was Kikyou's baby nickname for Kagome.

"What's happened? I constantly miss you and it's hard to go through school without you. I try to hear you but I get nothing… it's like I'm being blocked out or I'm just not getting through. It's like being ordinary!" Kagome knew that Kikyou would comfort her now.

It was their special secret, their pride. "We are not like anybody else. We are not ordinary. We are us." Kikyou simply said, "Life's changed."

Hurt filled up in Kagome. "But we haven't changed. We're still the same!" Kikyou's facial expression changed into an emotion Kagome could not comprehend. Her mouth curved into an unknown smile. Her eyes shinned brightly with something Kagome couldn't describe. Two words fell from Kikyou's lips and slapped Kagome across the face.

"Naraku Onigumo," She said. "My boyfriend, Naraku Onigumo." Kagome was shocked as her face felt like it was pounding. 'What boyfriend? I don't remember reading anything about a boyfriend. No one mentioned any boyfriend in any letter.'

Kagome became shy, how odd it felt being shy with her twin. "It'd be nice to meet him." Kikyou quickly shook her head. "No, I don't want you interfering. He knows I have a twin but I don't want him meeting you. I want him to think of just me, not two sets of me."

"What? You don't want me to me you're boyfriend? But I'm part of you!" Kikyou rolled her eyes slightly. "You're being dramatic, Omae." Kagome tugged on her ears, fiddled with her long hair, and looked at her sister, noticing that not once had Kikyou moved with her. They were not each other's echoes anymore.

"I feel like you're hiding me away, like some secret you're ashamed of." Kikyou sighed, trying to be patient with her sister. "Omae. We'll just find you a boyfriend. Doesn't you're girls school have a companion boys school? There should be thousands over there… just pick one. "

"I wouldn't mind having a boyfriend," said Kagome, "but right now I'm worried about us. I want us back." Kikyou just stared at her sister, tossing her longer raven hair behind her shoulder. "I have a new us, Omae." Kagome shook her head, unable to believe about this Naraku Onigumo, and this different us. It was too horrible to think about.

Her head pounded and laid on her on soft bed. 'Ah… my bed… the only thing that hasn't changed.' Her eyes moved to look at Kikyou staring at her reflection. When Kagome and Kikyou were little they would say that phrase from that book, Snow White. "Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Who Is the Fairest of Them All?" the mirror never made an answer for two were qualified.

'I'm going back to school in just a few days. I have to make Kikyou understand.' "Kiko," Kagome used her baby nickname for Kikyou, "why not spend a long weekend with me? It would help me just spending some time together." Kikyou shook her head, "I'm busy with Naraku. Just at least try and adapt without me."

Kikyou looked at her sister's reflection in the mirror. "I know what you need… a boyfriend. Trust me. You ought to find a cute one over at that boy's school. Just pick one."

'I'd pick Hiei… if I could.' Kagome blushed at the thought. 'But I can't pick him… I don't live here anymore. And back at Yoshihiro… I'm a loser.' Kikyou got tired of Kagome's problems and left the house, not speaking a word of where she went. She didn't say anything about what she did when she got back home either. Kikyou just ran up the stairs and locked herself in her bedroom.

Kagome looked at her mom and grandpa. "I hope you two are happy, you got what you wanted," she sobbed. "We're not identical twins anymore. We're nothing alike. We are now two and will never be one again!"

"We're not happy, Kagome," her mother reassured her. "But it was best," her grandpa butted in. "Why did you do this to me?" Souta came in the living room as Kagome was asking the question.

It felt like her mom and grandpa was distant from her now, as if they had sold her to the devil. "You just need to trust us, we're doing this for you sweetie." Kagome actually laughed at them, "Trust you? I lost trust in you when you shipped me off!" Kagome ran out of the living room, slipped her shoes on, and sprinted out of her house.

Salt water dropped from Kagome's beat red eyes as she stood in front of the Goshinboku. The sacred tree always found a way to soothe Kagome's mind, heart, and soul. Souta walked up behind her and hugged her, snuggling his head in the small of her back. "Everything will be okay, sis." Kagome fell to her knees and sobbed in Souta's arms.

"Souta… you are the only one I can trust now."

Christmas vacation ended and Kagome left with her packed suitcases once again. As she sat in the comfortable chair on the plane, she watched the gray sky with her empty heart. 'Naraku Onigumo, huh?' Kagome wondered about him often. 'What's he like? What does Kikyou's see in him? He must be cute.'

Kagome was often curious now that she was not involved in Kikyou's life at all. 'Would he love me the same since he loves Kikyou? For aren't Kikyou and I are the same?' Kagome's chestnut brown eyes gazed upon the bright stars shining through the gray clouds. 'I wish… I wish I lived Kikyou's life.'
