When 2+2=1

Disclaimer: If I owned anything in here but the story idea, would I even be labeling anything with the blasted word: ?Disclaimer?? I don?t think so.

WARNING: This is a Kagome x Kikyou-ish fic. So, if that scares you don't read it!

Another blasted fight, more hurt feelings and another stomp off performed by Kagome. What would this get anybody? Nothing much in the long run. So Kagome just wandered the quiet woods somewhat aimlessly, thinking things over and wondering if it could have come out any different then it had.

Of course in her small rounds of wandering she came across the clearing with the Goshinboku tree in it. She sighed and mingled her way to its trunk, gazing up with a softness in her face that revealed she was falling into a reverie. Reaching up she ran her hand zigzagging along the flat scar of the trunk in which the hanyou boy had been pierced all of fifty years ago.

It would have been a fond memory, looking back to the day she?d woken him up, would have been one if it wasn?t marred by the fact that she knew the person who?d pinned him there. She smiled, albeit warily, anyway. After all it had been her and not Kikyou who had undone the spell. It had been her that eventually gained the wild boy?s full trust?Now, if only he could let go of the past?

Kagome sighed and promptly turned herself around and dropped to sit on the roots with her chin in her palms. That?s what this was all about, wasn?t it? Inuyasha?s incapacity to get over something long since dead, and seeing something else for what it wasn?t. She sighed again, feeling heavy hearted.

Turning she gazed up at the slowly darkening sky, there she spotted pale circular lights not to far off in the distance. Curiously she arched her brow and rose to investigate them. A babbling brook could be heard a little way from where she stood, and the lights seemed to originate from there.

Easily she picked her way through the brush and bramble, pushing branches and leaves aside when they got in her way. Shortly she arrived at a small but glisteningly pretty, little glade and there in the center, resting against a tree with her delicate hands lifted to catch one of the circular lights was the crimson miko, Kikyou. Kagome all but gasped.

?So you?ve come then?? The voice was soft and deep, like a river, and it flowed from her lips like one too. As she spoke she turned her porcelain face toward Kagome as the bluish shindamachuu danced behind her like fish in the sea obviously collecting the lights that were Kikyou?s souls.

To Kagome?s surprise Kikyou smiled at her and beckoned her closer, further into the glade.

Inuyasha and the fight forgotten, Kagome stepped uneasily through the thresh hold and up to the shibito miko, her hands trembling.

?Do not be afraid, Kagome,? she soothed. ?I do not intend to hurt you in any way.?

Though even with this consolation from the dead woman, Kagome, somehow compelled, stepped warily up to her, kneeling before her with uncertainty in her eyes. ?What-do you want?? she asked ?What do you mean ?I?ve come???

Kikyou didn?t answer right away. Instead she just smiled at the younger girl seated before her and bent to take the girl?s hands in her own. ?So impetuous Kagome?? she murmured. ?One question at a time.?

The green miko was perplexed to say the least. Kikyou never acted like this before?Was she planning something? What was wrong here? It really was Kikyou, she couldn?t mistake that aura. ?Okay?? she said slowly ?What did you mean ?I?ve come??? She repeated both of her brows lifting.

The red miko continued to just smile at Kagome and with a flick of her sepia colored eyes she indicated her shindamachuu and the light of the souls that floated like baubles about her. ?I called you here. But I was not sure you would receive the message.?
Kagome blinked nonplussed and gulped a little. ?Why? What is it you want?? she asked again, looking directly into the soulless eyes of the woman in front of her.

Kikyou?s smile widened at the corners just a bit, and she let her eyelids drop to half-mast. With Kagome?s hands still in her own she leaned down to the other girl?s ear, letting her hair fall across her shoulder so that it acted as a thick black sheet to curtain both their faces and she whispered her answer into Kagome?s ear. ?You??

WTF? Umm... I think I'm going to need more just so I'm clear on why Kikyo is nearly hitting on Kagome. Holy shit! Talk about a jaw dropper...
