A Sisters Plea
.
.
"Father it's not fair!" wailed a distraught Kikyo. A young man had asked permission to court her but was denied by her father, seeing as her elder sister wasn't married yet. "She will never marry!" she cried again into her fathers arm. "Am I to become a laughing stock, a spinster!"
Kagome whirled into the room to see her father embracing his youngest daughter, his little pet, trying to comfort her. Kagome's eyes sparked in anger. "Not fair,' she replied calmly. "Tell me sister," she continued in her calm voice. "What is fair? That I become subservient to a man, no longer having a will of my own?" she continued.
Kikyo looked at her and nodded her head slowly. "Sister it is not as bad as you make it to be. He will provide for you, shelter you. Please, for me." She pleaded. Kagome smiled sweetly at her as if to acquiescence.
"Of course dear sister." She made to hug a smiling Kikyo and instead grabbed the nearest object a bottle of ink, dousing her in it. "NEVER! You must think me a fool!" and she spun out of the room leaving behind a tearful Kikyo dripping in ink. How dare they think that she would ever willingly be married. Kikyo would never understand, since she had no miko powers. But she- she had seen how other Miko's had become nothing more then a prize to their husbands a trophy to be shown off. Not her. Not ever.

I wanted Kikyo for once to be innocent instead of the aggressor .
