Kitten Caboodle
Chapter 17: Attack of the Clones! Er...Doppelgangers!
As he opened his eyes, he noticed one thing off the bat. It was dark. And heavy, stale even. He could barely even breathe, let alone move. It felt as if a mountain had crashed down upon him.
Am I dead?
Then, the second thing he noticed. The pain. His whole body felt on fire, even his HAIR hurt!
OW!! FREAKIN' HELL!! Wait a minute, if I'm in pain, even though I'm dead, that means I didn't make it to heaven, and that means....GHA!! THEY SENT ME TO THE OTHER PLACE!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
//Quit your whining, you pansy!//
AH!! SOMEONE'S TALKIN' IN MY HEAD!! GET IT OUT!! GET IT OUT!!
//Shuddup moron! Use your hard head and get out from under that pile of dirt, idiot!//
Oh great, now the voice was insulting him. Wait a minute...dirt? He was buried? He was still alive?!
//Well DUH Einstein. I'm amazed it took you that long to figure it out.//
Grrrrrrr....who the heck are you?!
//If you dig yourself outta there, then you'll find out, won't you?//
Okay, so maybe the voice had a point. He had also just realized that it was getting harder and harder to breathe every moment that passed. With a pained grunt, he managed to push off the pounds of dirt atop him, and dug his way out. He made it through the pile, and narrowly missed being reburied by the small landslide his movements had caused. Groaning, he sat down on the hard rocky floor, rubbing his head with his one good arm. The other looked to be broken.
Okay, I'm out. So where are you?
//Off to your left.....baka.//
Okay, he was getting more than a little angry at this insulting and sarcastic voice. He slowly turned his head to the left, and what he saw left him in shock.
"It's....it's ME!!"
His doppelganger glared scathingly at him, unmoving from his position against the rock wall of the cavern they were buried in.
"Still haven't figured it out, have you?" it sneered.
He took a good, long look at his would-be clone. The menacing-looking boy had dark black bat wings, and fiery crimson eyes that burned from behind grayish-black hair that seemed to defy gravity. A fang protruded from its upper lip as it sneered, glaring at him. It wore the same exact clothes he had on, only black and red in color. In short, the boy looked like his evil-side incarnate.
In turn, the evil one studied HIS clone. After all, this was the first time they had ever met face to face. The boy had golden hair, that, like his, seemed to defy gravity, and sapphire eyes that showed with every emotion. Odd enough was that he had angel wings, dusty and dirty, but still glowing white and gold. His blue and white clothes were also tattered, and his body was covered with scratches and bruises.
The angel ventured to speak first, "So...who are you?"
"I am you."
"You are? How the hell is that?!"
The dark one tried not to roll his eyes at the angel's naiveté, "Do you remember anything from the fight that you, or should I say I, fought just a little while ago?"
"Yeah...most of it."
"Do you remember when that miko shot the arrow at the pendant?"
"Yeah..." The angel couldn't see where this was going.
"I can't tell you much about what happened to that pendant, but when the arrow shot it, it separated US into two different beings."
"Dammit...just when I thought my life was at its worst, THIS has to happen....So, do you have a name?"
"No. Not a birth name at least. But I was called something during the fight."
"Hm? What was that?"
"Daemon."
"Well, nice ta meetcha Daemon, my name's Mitsukai. So...what should we do?"
"Find our way out of this pit."
"Good thinking. Got any idea how to do it?"
"Not a clue."
".....dammit."
"You know...angels shouldn't swear."
Mitsukai glared at his counterpart. "Yeah, well, demons shouldn't act so nice to their opposite side, now should they?"
"Whoever said that demons had to be evil? Whoever said that darkness was totally evil?"
"Uh...."
"I, for one, am capable of being nice when I want to, just as you are capable of being cruel. I just choose to insult you and be evil."
Great. Now he had a LOGICAL other side. But...the guy DID have a point.
"Okay. You're right."
"I always am."
"Uh-uh!"
"Yeah-huh!"
"No way!"
"Yes way!"
"Wait a minute! I already see where this is going! I ain't gonna fall for that trap! I already lost that game with a kid named Shippo!"
The two glared at each other.
I have a feeling that there's not much brotherly love to be shared in this cave.....
************************************************************************
"Fluffy-sama! Wake up! Rin wants to play now!" A small hand tugged at his shirt sleeve, pleading, "Please Fluffy-sama! Onegai?"
'Fluffy-sama' just kept his eyes closed, hoping to drown out the intruding voice. A pair of giggles and a small rustle was all that warned him before he was tackled, waking him up from his rest. Two pairs of hands somehow found a ticklish spot on the invincible Sesshoumaru, and used their newfound advantage against him.
Gasping for air between laughing and begging, he managed to somehow speak, "I-I'm awake, y-you c-can stop now! I'm awake!" With a few more giggles, he was released, quickly scooting away from the two smirking women.
"Good to finally see you awake," purred Utsushineko, "For a second, we thought that you'd died."
He merely glared and 'hmphed', sticking his nose up into the air arrogantly. "A high-born youkai like me can awake at the slightest sound."
"Rrrrrrrriiiiiiiggggggghhttttttt...." Another argument was about to start between the two again, but thankfully, Rin interrupted.
"Come on Fluffy-sama and Neko-chan! Let's play a game! Rin is bored!"
With horror, the two adults stared warily at the child. A bored Rin was a dangerous Rin.
"Okay Rin-chan, what should we play?" Neko asked.
"Ummmmm...dress up!"
The second Sesshoumaru heard those words, he knew that he was in big trouble. And judging by the huge smirk on Neko's face, she knew it too.
"That sounds great Rin-chan!"
With slow, small steps, Sesshoumaru made his way to Kouga, who was staring at the two girls in horror also. They exchanged the look all guys get when the womenfolk were planning something.
We womenfolk have labeled it the 'We are so dead' look.
Oh, what fun it is to see that look.
"Oh Seeeeeeessssssshhhhouuuuummmmmmarrrrruu-sama," cooed Neko, "Come over here please."
For once in his life, Sesshoumaru was truly frightened, shaking slightly. He shook his head and ducked behind Kouga, who was trying to find some place to hide in the small room.
With a wave of her hand and an 'Accio, make-over kit!', the taller of the two girls held up said kit.
"Oh bbbbbooooooooooooyyyyyyyyyssssssss......."
With a scream, the two decided that Tsuki was easier to face than this. They scrabbled at the door, before being dragged back tooth and nail to the middle of the room, where they were then tied up in spelled rope, allowing them no chance of escape.
And the girls were loving every single minute of it.
************************************************************************
Inuyasha studied the people sitting across from him suspiciously, making sure to be ready to attack at any given time, if needed. Before introductions were to be made, they had all agreed to find a better place to talk, their current location having been a large cave filled with thousands of dead little blue bodies.
Okay, so Inuyasha didn't mind, but still, Kagome had been about ready to cry.
And now, here they were, under a maple tree, staring awkwardly at each other, the silence suffocating.
And of course, we all know Inuyasha isn't one to beat around the bush...
"Who are you and how did you come out of that shrine?" he asked, rather bluntly I might say. But no, he had to add more, "And what's with those freaky clothes?"
Kagome rolled her eyes and jabbed her elbow into his side as a warning.
The girl across from them chuckled a bit at their antics. "My name is Rose, and this is my boyfriend, Trunks. As for how we got into that shrine, I can't remember much. We've been imprisoned for a long time."
"How long?" asked Miroku, shifting slightly and moving a little bit closer to an unsuspecting Sango.
"Around fifty years, I guess."
The five companions stiffened in shock. It seemed that everything these days had something to do with fifty years ago. It could be destiny, or just the cruel tricks of a higher being.
The girl continued on with her story, "Me and Trunks were just walking along, minding our own business, when we came across this guy in a baboon pelt." She snorted, "He looked ridiculous in it. Anyways, we exchanged a few polite words, and all of a sudden he got angry and trapped us in that rock you broke, hurling it down through the ground into the cave of a Smurf den."
Trunks sweatdropped a bit at Rose's words, "Actually, it wasn't a 'few polite words.' More like she insulted him about his choice of clothing, and he threatened to kill her."
Rose grinned sheepishly.
"So, let me guess, you want revenge against Naraku too, am I right?" asked Sango.
"You mean the baboon guy? Hell yeah! For FIFTY years we had to listen to that god-awful sound the Smurfs made! FIFTY YEARS!!" Rose stated.
Inuyasha sighed, "Great. By the time we DO get to fight Naraku, there won't be enough of him left to pass around. *I* wanted to kill him."
"Hey, first come, first serve buddy," retorted Rose.
"Rose, now would not be the time to take out your anger on these kind people," Trunks warned.
"Yeah, yeah, you're right. Sorry 'bout that. I kinda have a temper."
"Don't worry, we understand," Kagome smiled, "Believe me, if I was stuck listening to those Smurfs for even a DAY I would go crazy and attack anyone who came near me."
And with that, the ice was broken.
"So, how'd you guys end up here?" asked Rose.
And so they all explained, from their first encounters with each other, to the adventures, and to the present time.
"So, you say you met a guy named Mitsukai?" question Rose.
"Yeah, but he was turned evil, so Inuyasha had to kill him," Kagome sniffled.
Rose exchanged a secret look with Trunks, then turned back to Kagome, "Actually, I don't think he would die that easily."
"What do you mean?" Miroku looked at Rose curiously, but chose to stay his distance; that boyfriend of hers looked quite possessive. It would not be good to get him angry.
"Well, we sorta....er....met him, before we were to be imprisoned," Rose explained, "And I don't think he's the kind to die so abruptly."
Kagome fingered the pendant as she was told this. Could he actually be alive?
"Take us to where he was supposedly killed," asked Trunks, "I might be able to find out if he is still alive."
And so they went.
Trunks scouted the area at which the Wind Scar had torn, and noticed a small cave-in, probably leading to one of the Smurf caverns, in the middle of the field. He pointed to it, "Was he hit right about there?"
The others nodded.
He and Rose bent over the hole, and gazed down its inky depths.
"HAAAALLLLLOOOOOO DOWN THERE!! CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME?!" she called into it. A muffled thud and some swearing answered her.
"Who the heck are you?!" shouted back a voice.
Another thud, and more swearing came. "Baka! It could be rescuers! I don't know about you, but I want out of here! Now shuddup and let me do the talking!"
As soon as the voices were heard, the others dashed to stand by the hole.
"Mitsukai! Is that you?!" Kagome hollered down.
"K-Kagome?!" came the reply from the first voice.
"Don't worry Mitsukai, we'll get you out of there before you go all the way crazy!" Rose happily called.
"What do you mean by that?!"
"Well, we heard you talking to yourself, and that's the first sign of insanity!"
A brief silence was issued, followed by mutters.
"Uh, guys, I hate to tell ya this, but I got some bad news for ya!" he hesitantly shouted, "I-uh- haveadoppelgangerandhe'smydarksideandheisn'tverynicebutIcan'tgetridofhimsoyou'llhaftarescuehimtoo!"
"WHAT?!" They all shouted.
"I SAID that I have a doppelganger and he's my dark-side, and he isn't very nice but I can't get rid of him so you'll hafta rescue him too!"
"Gggggggreeeeeeeatttttttt..." drawled Inuyasha, "Just peachy."
Of course, during this brief moment of distraction, a certain monk took advantage of a certain demon slayer's lack of defense.
SLAP!!!!!!!
"HENTAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!"
************************************************************************
Sesshoumaru and Kouga were so miserable and humiliated that they felt they could've committed suicide right there on the spot.
The day had been hell; forced to cross-dress and have make-overs all for the sick amusement of two evil girls.
"NO WAY WILL I WEAR THAT!!" shouted Kouga, "THAT OUTFIT DOES NOT MATCH!!"
To make it even worse, Kouga had started to get a fashion sense.
While Rin tried to persuade Kouga to wear the purple and pink skirt with the light blue top, Utsushineko made her way over to Sesshoumaru. She sat beside the demon and smiled happily.
"Having fun?" she asked.
"I'd have more fun drinking acid," he blithely replied.
She pouted, and her tail immediately fuzzed up. Almost automatically, his hand reached out to pat the fur down. She looked at him oddly.
"I thought we'd had this talk before," she muttered.
"Humph," he huffed, snatching his hand back and crossing his arms across his bare chest.
"Aw, come now Sesshy, don't get so offended! I was only joking!" she pleaded, latching onto his side. Slowly, she felt the stiff body relax, and smiled. Hmmm...he was very warm, and she hadn't gotten any real rest......maybe she could just....rest her eyes for a minute....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.............
Sesshoumaru heard the snore, and looked in surprise down at the sleeping girl. With a roll of his eyes, he pulled her onto his lap, settling in a more comfortable position.
And still Rin tried to get Kouga to wear the 'newest fashion'.
************************************************************************
Tsuki growled and paced slowly outside the enchanted door, twitching his tail in annoyance. Damn pests.....he snarled.
On the back of his neck, a Shikon shard glowed brightly.
He only had one mission; kill those who had separated him from his mistress. Lord Naraku said that once they were gone, he would be able to find his mistress.
He whimpered slightly. Why couldn't he remember anything besides his mistress? All he knew was that he was her pet, and that she was very kind, with long black hair a loving eyes. He gladly had her as an owner.
But as soon as he thought he had summoned up some memories, they flittered away again, falling through his mind like water cupped in a pair of hands.
It didn't matter though. He would kill these pests, regain his memories, and find his mistress. Nothing would stop him.
