I hate you.

You, the one who took my beloved from me. You, the beautiful human that has so many men vying for her attention. You, the girl whose name sounds so much like mine, and yet we're so different. You, Kagome, the Shikon Miko, and the one my Kouga loves.

I never thought I'd be jealous of a mere human, let alone a miko. Then again, I never imagined I'd be competing with one for the affections of my beloved. How could he fall in love with you? You're nothing special. You're a ningen, a miko... you're weak! But yet he stares into your brown eyes with such emotion, the same way I want him to look into mine.

If only I was better... if I could see the Shikon Jewel shards, maybe I'd be able to keep him to his promise. Yes, he promised!! How could you make him break his promise? He promised to marry me. He promised to love me. He promised that I would be the one mothering his pups, not you. Not your hanyou pups, but my youkai ones.

Hanyou... how could he want hanyou pups? I don't understand how you could make him give up honor like that. He needs strong pups... the East needs strong pups. Hanyou aren't strong, and I don't care what you say about your precious Inuyasha.

What's your relation to Naraku anyway? Our brethren were killed by him. All you are is a jewel detector. Someone dragged along to help. You don't even have the strength to fight him properly. You can't even purify Naraku. All your arrows have only hurt him, you've never succeeded in killing him.

I'm sure you're just manipulating my poor Kouga into loving you so you can steal his shards. You don't even care about him. He's just a tool to you. Just a few shards to win. That's the way it is with all your so-called allies. Just tools. You're not the sweet, kind miko everyone thinks you are, and I can see right through you.

Stay away from him. If you ever come near him again, I'll have your head faster than you can say “oops”. You don't deserve him. He's mine. I'm youkai, you're human. He's too good for you. He's just blinded by your ability to see the shards.

But... that is something you have over me. But I have everything else! I'm a wolf demon, so our pups will be full wolves. Just like it should be! And we'd rule over the East together. You'd be nothing but a shadow. Inuyasha can have you or something.

That's right, Inuyasha! You have him, and his brother Sesshoumaru. Why, Kagome? Why'd you have to steal my Kouga? You already have two willing to die for you. Why him too?

You don't care about him, no. But, watching you with him, I've noticed that... you try to turn him down gently. You're not trying to hurt him. You're trying to be the kind miko that... you actually are. I'm sorry, Kagome, I should have known. It's not your fault. I'll become better so he won't love you anymore. So you won't have to deal with it anymore.

I don't hate you, Kagome. Truce?

The girl in front of me smiled. "Truce."
