AN: Not my usual writing subject, but worthy of a read I think.
Summary: She felt that she was wearing someone else's face rather than her own.
She dipped her hands into the cold river to wash her face. The water rippled in her hands as she examined her delicate mouth, her soft cheeks, and petite nose. She noticed that the cool evening reddened her cheeks. Her gaze traveled up her reflection, and she studied her eyes.
Visibly they were plain brown, yet when she made an angry face, their intensity took on a whole new meaning.
She wasn’t sure what she would discover within her own face, but others had seen someone else there.
Kaede had seen her sister in her on their first encounter. Inuyasha had thought she was Kikyo, and later on a monk had as well.
She was wearing the face of another woman. Fleshy, youthful cheeks, round, intense eyes, and dark hair framing her face, they first belonged only to her. Yet in this time, they belonged to someone else.
The reality of it rammed into her, and she saw her determined face disappear as she let the water slip through her fingers, dissolving her reflection.
“You’re not her, you know,” a soft voice said, cutting through a somber aura that blanketed her. She looked over and met golden eyes flickering under hazy moonlight.
She was silent, and she watched with a stunned face as he moved over to her and then put his hand on her shoulder. She felt a comforting squeeze. “No matter what you may think, when I look at you, all I see is Kagome.”
She nodded, throwing away old worries and flashing him a bright smile. She tossed a sidelong glance to the river to see her smile in the reflection. She felt her heart relax, knowing that it was her smile that would set her apart from the other.
