Kikyo's Second Mistake

 

Her first mistake had been not trusting Inuyasha. But in comparison to this, it was forgivable. Very forgivable.

 

Kikyo sighed quietly and stared at the white-haired man across from her. He stared back.

In Life…

 

"WHAT?!" The sheer volume of the scream sent flocks birds into alarmed flight, trilling and whirling up from the forest in a large black mass.

 

"Aye," In a small nearby village, Kaede shook her aged head solemnly. "As strange as it may sound, 'tis true, indeed." Inuyasha's gold eyes stared at her in consternation.

 

"But…" He said helplessly, waving his hands in the air. "But… we don't even look alike!"

 

Kaede shook her head again and tended to her fire. "Nevertheless, it's true." She took a deep breath. "My elder sister Kikyo mistook Sesshou-maru for you, Inuyasha, and dragged him off to hell to spend Eternity together."

 

The half-demon put his head in his hands. Outside, cicadas droned on in the warm summer air and birds twittered amongst themselves softly. Villagers went about their daily tasks, talking as they went. Oxen snorted and stomped, horses muttered. If one cared to stop and listen, the village was actually a very noisy place.

 

Only one house was absolutely silent, save the crackling of the fire. Then, Miroku gave a muffled snort, hand over his mouth. Shippo laughed uproariously. Sango blinked in surprise. Inuyasha put his head in his hands. Kagome stared at Kaede. "Uh…"

In Hell…

 

Sesshou-maru stared at Kikyo and she stared back. Kikyo cleared her throat. Eternity just got a heck of a lot longer…

AN: I dunno. I'm weird like that. It's just one of those things that pops in your head when you're reading, or at least my head.
