i randomly started thinking about the kagome/kikyo dynamic today and it's sooo much more interesting than anyone dares give it credit for, it's just like...am i my own person or am i just a part of you? why do you get to be so special, so perfect, so extraordinary? why do you get to be an ordinary woman? will i spend the entirety of my life living in your shadow? i want to be you. i want to have absolutely nothing to do with you. i resent you for being all the things i could never dare to be, all the things i never even got the chance to be. why are you the one who gets to live? why should i sacrifice my happiness for yours? you love him the wrong way. no, you love him the wrong way. how do you manage to be so grown-up and mature, so above it all? why do you get to retain your childish innocence? we're two sides of the same coin. i hope i never turn out like you. i wish you didn't exist. i wish i could have saved you. i'm sorry.
