There standing in the open doorway was an angry Kikyo. “Kagome how could you even listen to what this woman has to say.” She yelled her face near a complete match to the scarlet gown she wore.

Kagome ducked her head and meekly replied, “I want this curse to be over sister.”

Kikyo immediately lost all of her anger with her little sister. Turning her eyes on the witch she spoke again. “How did you get in here?”

Shrugging the witch answered without a care, “I am a witch my dear I have many spells in my arsenal. The reason you and young Lady Kagome can see me as I am and not as a young woman as everyone else has is because you both were part of the prophecy.”

Having eavesdropped on what was being said Kikyo narrowed her eyes, “Why should we believe a word that comes out of your mouth? Even Kagome knows that she is the only child that has been born in this kingdom since the curse was placed. There is also the fact that we are immortal now and that we cannot leave the kingdom. If any of the other lords or ladies wish to see us or have a meeting it must be held here. So now I ask again why should we believe or even trust you.”

The witch chuckled, “I want this curse to end as well child. However I am too old and it has been in place too long for me to simply end it. As for the reason you should at least believe me is it not obvious? I have no reason to lie to you. If you do not believe me it is not my problem. You may live with this curse forever. Never will you leave this kingdom and never will either of you have any children of your own. The choice is yours.”

A/N: I hope this chapter answers the questions I had in regards to the curse and for how the witch was able to get into the castle. As for the question, why Kagome would even talk to or listen to the witch is because she is very gullible, naive, and trusting in this story. This is the same reason she believed her father would tell her more about the curse and that there may be a way for her to break it.
