N ot A Copy?
Left behind and forgotten, Inuyasha stands up slowly after the ‘sit’ wears off and notices Kagome left, along with those strange girls. " Damn necklace...that subjugation spell was more powerful than usual." Chasing off in the direction he smelt her in, he failed to notice for a moment scent another nearby. 'That stupid wench, going off with people she doesn’t even know, who could work for Naraku for all she knows. He growled, realizing the scent is weak, meaning a good deal of time had pass.“I am going to tell her off so badly.. "
The wind switched direction, stopping his rant. Inuyasha raised his head, his ears twitching, sniffing. "That scent… its...Kikyou!'
Forgetting briefly about Kagome, Inuyasha dashed off in the direction of where Kikyou’s scent was strongest. 'This area ..the others are camping... Skidding to a stop, Inuyasha took in the scene before him.
Sango and Miroku were on the forest floor, unconscious and wounded. Sango’s Hiraikotsu was in a nearby tree, obviously had been put to use. Kirara was no were to be found. And there was, directly across from him, was Kikyou with an unconscious Shippo , his neck in her hand!! Her soul stealers circled the area, as if warding off unwanted visitors.
Inuyasha watched as a smirk appeared on Kikyou’s face. “Destroying my incarnation’s only family, destroy her hope and power. Soon Inuyasha, you will realize your life belongs in my hands."
Kikyou, dropping Shippo, did not realize Inuyasha was watching her. Turning around and catching sight of him, she froze.
“Kikyou, what are you doing?”
Kikyou's eyes widened in shock. He’s not supposed to be here…not yet.He should still be occupied with my reincarnation. Watching the breeze, Kikyou cursed inwardly. 'The wind..he must have caught my scent...' Turning to meet his gaze, she masked her face with indifference.
"Inuyasha."

'Kagome as Midoriko's daughter? Silence had filled the hut and no one spoke, all watching for Kagome’s reaction. Kaede had some questions, but the elderly miko held her tongue, watiting for the inexperienced miko to speak Grasping the girl whome she viewed as her own child, she looked Kagome in the eye. "Kagome, ye be fine about this news?"Kagome’s mind swirled with new thoughts of confusion. She did not hear Kaede's voice nor realized the attention she had gathered by remaining silent.

‘I’m Midoriko’s daughter’‘No I was born in modern times’‘But it would make sense. I never did feel normal’
'Well how many girls travel 500 years in the past?'
'No..even before all this..even growing up...'‘So I have new powers’‘Where do I belong?’‘Are they my sisters then?’
'Well duh, idiot, does " you are OUR missing SISTER" mean anything to you?'‘Am I some sort of royal?’‘Who was my real family?’‘wait a second… I’m NOT KIKYOU”S REINCARNATION!!”‘Or am I?’
Confused by her last thought, Kagome looked over to Kaede, whose eyes widened. "Kaede-sama?
Holding a hand to her chest, Kaede stared at Kagome. 'Never before I have seen one so young...lost. It was if I could actually see the storm in her mind...'More silence lingered. Growing bored, Kimiko stood up and stretched. " Okay when you’re ready, I will still be here." Rinita, who still laid on the hut floor, sprung back up. “Oh, wait, since Midiroko had a blood pact with the elementals, that means you have elemental powers too, Kagome.”
"I can’t."

Kimiko looked at Kagome, yelling. "What do you mean' you cant'? Look, I don't have any time to rise you up from any depression you might have. My orders were to com tell you the history, answer any question you might have and off to training we go..." Chiquiko sat gracefully, shaking her head at her friend. " Kimiko, yo are such a spitfire. Calm down. She is probably confused." She turned her tranquil gaze to Kagome. Kagome shuddered under her watch. This one reminded her so much of Kanna of the Void. " Lady Kagome, if I may, that answer sounded so final...may I ask why you feel that is so?"


Off to the corner Kimiko huffed. " Always the little lady in training aren't you Chiquiko?" Kinita laughed." Kimiko you are just jealous because you try but you are not able to tame the fire that lies in your soul." As she continue to laugh, Kimiko turned childishly into a corner, refusing to face the group.

Kagome, still looking dazed and defeated, whispered bitterly, “I’m already Kikyou's reincarnation."
All the girls stood at attention, burning their gaze into Kagome.“You are the high priestess Kikyou's what?" Kagome's head bowed down when she heard laughter.'Typical reaction really, to find that someone such as me is born from a person like her.'


Slap!


Kagome held her reddened cheek as Kimiko returned her hand to her side. " I told you I have no time for such thoughts. Now you will stop." Kimiko glared at Kagome. Rinita, apparently found something about the entire situation burst out in louder laughter.

“ HA HA HA HA!”
Kagome looked up in both confusion and anger. I have been feeling a lot of that lately. Not knowing with whom to deal with first, Kimiko or Rinita, she picked what seemed the lesser of two evils "Whats so funny?" Putting her amusement on hold at the sight of tears about to drop from Kagome's eyes, she answered, "Well, just now, though Kimiko acts on impulse and does not look a thing like him, she matched Lord Sesshomaru's ideal," she deepened her voice in a mock-Sesshoumaru tone, "sadness is only for the weak, I have no time for this." She smiled as if that explained everything. Without warning, Kimiko turned and exited the hut.


Kagome looked at the empty doorway and back at Rinita. " What am I missing? How do you know Sesshoumaru? What is wrong with Kimiko?" Rinita waved her away. " We know most high figures so do not be shocked. And I would not recommend speaking his name with such familiarity in front of him. And with Kimiko, she is a sore subject to her and she hates being compared to him. Not we are getting too far off topic, back to the reincarnation, it is not possible."

Kinita, who had barely spoke since they arrived, decided to explain.


“There’s only so many ways to be truly reincarnated. One way is to bring the soul by to its original body. Another is by giving the soul to a to-be-born being, someone that will be alive but isn’t yet. Like baby who hasn’t left its mothers womb. A to-be newborn’s soul is fragile and the souls would become one once that baby was born. The last way to be reincarnated is to kick one soul out of a living one’s body and take over it. But this one is not as effective. Either way, the incarnation would have memories of its past life, at least flashbacks not and then or a feeling of deja-vu. "
"I don’t have any of Kikyou's memories. But why do I look like her?"
Chiquiko raised an eyebrow. “More like why she looks like you. You were born before Kikyou, like us and placed into the future to live in a human form, Kagome. When we were born, we were in great danger. So we were sent to the future to live as normal humans unless we came back into our elemental forms.
Kagome and Kaede listened in silence taking this new information in. 'I’m not Kikyou's copy! In your face Inuyasha!' Kagome couldn't help but feel happy. But this was still a bit confusing to her, so what would Sang.. Kgome jumped up. “Oh my gosh!! I forgot about Sango, Miroku, Shippo...Inuyasha!!
"I need to go find them now. Umm.... matte ne Kaede-sama. I will see you soon!" And with that, Kagome ran out of the hut, leaving nothing but a trail of dust.Rinita sighed, walking as she slipped on one of the forgotten books, and hit the doorway.
@. @
The other girls sighed and turned back into there enlarged neko forms. "See, it always happens, to her anyway!"Picking Rinita up in her teeth, Chiquiko followed after Kagome, the others walking behind her.
