Sesshoumaru did not sleep well the last night before the duel. He had a
constant dream of Kagome being snatched away by his bastard brother Inu
Yasha right in front of his eyes, and he had been unable to stop them;
bloody and paralyzed. He had given up on sleep around 2:30 AM and had
drunk coffee to keep him awake as he jogged around Tokyo in the dark
morning. He groaned as he saw the rather bad condition his hair was in as
he brushed it and braided it tightly. He had tested the poison on his
nails several times on inanimate objects until he got tired at their
unwavering reaction and went to stretch for the seventh time.
Sesshoumaru dressed in a dull orange t-shirt and loose pants, to make it
easy to move. He pulled his trench coat on as he noted the tear that Inu
Yasha's attack had created on it with a sneer. The memory of the
occurrence made his blood heat up as he mentally renewed the promise to
pay Inu Yasha back a hundred times over for what he could have done to
Kagome. He growled as his muscles tensed, making his demon blood boil and
scream for a fight.
Sesshoumaru had rushed to Kagome's house as soon as the sun started to
rise and had caught up the sleepy girl in a kiss as soon as he saw her.
Kagome had been awoken by that and she dressed before leading Sesshoumaru
to the well, grasping his hand the whole time. They looked at each other
and smiled, a pang going into Kagome's heart as she remembered when she
did this with Inu Yasha before Sesshoumaru had even been an issue. They
leapt into the well at the same time.
It was not a complete accident that she bumped against him on impact,
instead more of a test for his reaction. She stumbled backwards, her back
hitting Sesshoumaru's chest. Sesshoumaru gripped her shoulder to steady
her before wrapping both his arms around her shoulders, settling his chin
into the place where her neck and shoulder met. Kagome looked surprised
before reaching up and touching Sesshoumaru's cheek, realizing that his
stripes were now fully visible. Sesshoumaru made a noise that sounded
oddly like a purr and started kissing her neck gently. Kagome chuckled as
the ticklish feeling slowly moved upwards and said, "Sesshoumaru. the
duel."
Sesshoumaru whispered in her ear, "What about it.?" Kagome felt shivers
go up and down her spine as Sesshoumaru loosened his arms and turned her
around to face him. Kagome felt oddly relieved yet annoyed when Inu Yasha
popped his head out at the top of the well and growled at the two.
Sesshoumaru smirked at him before wrapping an arm around Kagome's waist
and leaping out of the well. He landed lightly, his trench coat flying up
to reveal his long white tail.
Sesshoumaru kissed Kagome on the cheek before releasing her and gripping
the end of his tail to wrap it over his shoulder into its usual position.
He took off his coat and handed it to Kagome as he unraveled his braid.
Sesshoumaru smiled malevolently at Inu Yasha before straightening his
back, resembling the old Sesshoumaru much more now. Inu Yasha grabbed his
sheath and drew it out, throwing it on the ground at Kagome's feet.
Kagome picked it up as she sat on the edge of the well.
These events were watched with interest as the Feudal Age's Sesshoumaru
grinned as he noted his father's fang in the hands of the mortal wench.
He noted Inu Yasha and gasped at the demon he was fighting; an exact
replica of himself. Sesshoumaru smiled as he heard cracking twigs behind
him and turned to face Kikyo. She glanced at the Sesshoumaru in front of
her and smiled as she asked, "Would you like to make a deal.?"
Oblivious to Kikyo and the younger Sesshoumaru, Inu Yasha lunged forward,
swiping at Sesshoumaru, who danced away stone-faced. Sesshoumaru sighed
as he stepped out of the range of all of Inu Yasha's blows, asking "Have
you gotten worse in the time Kagome has been away?" Inu Yasha growled
back a profanity as Sesshoumaru chuckled. Suddenly, Inu Yasha froze as a
being that looked like a flying snake wrapped around him. Sesshoumaru
hissed as another one bound itself around his feet. He growled as he
slashed at it, freeing his legs for a few seconds before more slowly
began to drift towards them. The snakes were souls that Kikyo was slowly
releasing and Inu Yasha's eyes widened as he bounded towards where they
were coming from. Meanwhile, the modern Sesshoumaru was trying to cut
away the souls that were quickly binding around his limbs.
Kagome watched them numbly as she wished she had her bow and arrows. The
younger Sesshoumaru smiled as he watched it all, seizing the opportunity
to clear the space between the well and the forest. The younger
Sesshoumaru crashed into a startled Kagome as the two of them fell into
the well, leaving a startled Sesshoumaru behind.

MUAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Aren't I so evil? I had this last minute
brainstorm due to my lack of consciousness and caffeine excess. Now, all
you people have to wait and wait for the next update! ^^ I'll answer any
questions you might have in tomorrow's update, so be prepared to ask!
*yawns* I didn't even think that I would get this finished. Now, I'm not
sure whether to make this be the end of this fanfic and continue it in a
sequel, or just write an epilogue or what. -_- I'll think about it and
write up the next part tomorrow morning. I find the best way to keep you
people on your toes is to surprise myself, and it worked for me! ^^
Nah, I'm just kidding; I'll find them myself eventually.
