* * * * * * * * * * * Kagome's POV * * * * * * * * * * *

The day had started out not how I expected it. I had no idea what they had in-store for me, and I wish I had never found out. They woke me up early, though I can not complain since I am usually up way before this, but I had finally gotten to sleep on a bed and I did not want to leave the comfort of it, but I dragged myself up anyways. These people are being so kind, but like I thought they want something in return for it, something that could cost me my life if I was ever caught.

"Kagome?"

"Hai?"

"You seemed to have been lost for a moment there." Sango said, looking at me like I was some kind of god

I did not want to tell her the truth, I wanted to do this for everyone, but I am scared. I am scared of what might happen, I do not want to be thrown back in that prison, I like being free, but I would not have been free if it were not for these people, and now they need my help.

"I am sorry, I guess everything is just getting to me all of a sudden." I said, trying my best to smile, I had not done that for years, I couldn't even if I wanted to, I could barely talk with that mask on

"Take the time that you need to work things out, but while you are doing that we need to train you on how to act. Your first lesson is to never apologize, Kikyou never does. She can do no wrong in her own eyes."

I could tell that Sango had a strong hate for my "sister", and it makes me wonder if she feels hate when she looks upon my face. My face. That is what started all of this, the way that I look, the fact that I have an older twin sister who has a black heart. I wonder if it hurts everyone to see me, to see the face of the one who caused all of their pain and suffering walking among them, I know it would hurt me. I suppose my father did what he thought was right, but it all turned out wrong, I wish that Kikyou had never found out that I had existed, then my life would be how I remember it. It is selfish of me to think like that, me being happy while Kikyou destroys peoples lives, but I am human and humans tend to want to be selfish.

"I can try."

"Good. Your next lesson is how she acts. She loves men, almost any young man will do. I am not telling you to do anything like that, but flirt a bit."

"That will be harder to do." I said not feeling comfortable with all of this

"You could practice on me."

"Houshi-sama." Sango gave a warning glare to Miroku who was now standing behind me, but I could sense him backing away

In my very short amount of time spent here I have learned that Miroku is a pervert, plain and simple. Sango seems to keep him in line most of the time, but that just makes him even worse when she turns her back, literally.

"I can not believe him, acting that way in the most crucial part of your training. I am going to kill him when this is over."

Sango loved him. I thought it before, but now I know for sure. I can see it in her eyes, what a wonderful thing to see I wonder what it's like to feel that way.

"Tonight Kagome, Inuyasha will be sneaking you into the palace, to see if you can fool them in appearance, nothing else. If you can, then we will have more time to get your Kikyou impression perfected. You can go and get changed now; we stole one of Kikyou's dresses just for this."

I nodded and I walked away, this was really happening, I was going to the place I was born to see if I can impersonate my twin sister in which I have never met before, well maybe in the womb, but neither of us could remember that. I walked back to the hut, the dress was laid out on my bed, now all I had to do was change and I would be ready to be someone I'm not.

* * * * * * * * * *

I had changed and night had fallen fast, I was not ready for this but I knew I had to do it. I wanted to see where I was born, but I was afraid of what I might find there. Inuyasha let me ride on his back the whole way there so we could go faster than with me walking. He got us in through a secret door in the kitchen, no one was there at this time of night so we could get around easily. To say I was nervous was an understatement, I was just about shaking and Inuyasha could tell.

"I don't think I can do this." I whispered after a minute of walking around, it was just to much for me, I don't know why I agreed to do this anymore

"You can't back out now, we're already here." Inuyasha all but growled at me

"You're right, lets go." I said, not wanting to see what he would do to me if I didn't agree

I know I'm sounding like a whiny bitch, but I can't help the way that I feel all of the time.

"I'm going to go around the corner, you just stand here acting like you own the place, but don't say anything more than a few words to anyone." he instructed and continued around the corner as soon as I nodded my okay

I felt stupid just standing there and doing nothing, at least no one was around to see it, but I needed someone around. Kikyou was suppose to be "entertaining" a guest, at least that is what Sango said, in that way too.

"Kikyou-sama!" a voice called, I turned around to see a girl with short black hair and a revealing outfit running towards me

"Lord Sesshoumaru is here and you have not been out to greet him. He seemed to not have minded, but I could tell that he wanted you there." this girl started her rambling, apparently my sister had one true friend, or someone who acted like it at least

"Well I have to go back to work, bai!" the girl called as she ran down the hall before I could say anything back to her

I was about to turn the corner to find Inuyasha, though I knew he was listening the whole time, but I was happy that the plan had worked, someone called to me again.

"Princess Kikyou. I was surprised to not see you waiting at the door for me like you always do. Pathetic really, I suppose you have grown up a bit, but not enough." a males voice said, probably this Sesshoumaru that girl was talking about

I turned around to face him and I could have sworn that it was Inuyasha, but that quickly faded. This man was well dressed, not that Inuyasha never was this was just different.

"You are not Princes Kikyou." he said after a minute of me just staring

"Of course I am." I demanded trying to act the way everyone said that Kikyou did, but it was harder than they knew

"You are wearing her dress and have her face, but you are not her." he said, not making a move to call the guards or grab me, I was surprised to say the least

"Kagome, stay calm he won't hurt you....for now." I could hear Inuyasha whisper, and so did the man in front of me

"Kagome is it? Inuyasha is right I will not hurt you yet, but you will tell me what you are doing here and why you look so much like our "dear" princess." he said, not sounding like he liked my sister very much either

"Sesshoumaru leave her alone, you'll find out why she's here soon, but for now do not say anything." Inuyasha said as he came around the corner, he wore a scowl on his face, I could tell he did not like this man much and vice-versa

"I will if you tell me one thing." he answered

"What?" Inuyasha asked not seeming to want to talk to this man anymore then he would want to talk to Kikyou

"Will the bitch die."

"If she's lucky."
