Chapter Three:
A Day of Doubles
Ok well now this chapter is going to be based on the story Triple Threat, and I am very sorry if you get confused by the two Sesshomarus and two Kagomes, but I will try to keep everything clear. I think I may end up changing the plotline a bit though and not focusing so much on their dimension traveling. Of course it all depends on how I feel, but I think that our favorite couple will only be going to one more dimension before returning home. Also the next Dimension they are going to will be one I made up myself of the future of this fic if Sess and Kag don't fix some things.
Recap:
Sesshomaru is here, hold on how do you know who he is and what do you mean the Mall?" Kagome yelled as she got off of the couch she was on.
"I would like to know the answer to those questions as well," an all to familiar voice said from the corner of the room.
Kagome turned to find Sesshomaru leaning against the wall, his arms crossed over his chest as he awaited an answer. Souta opened his mouth to answer, but was quickly shut as the front door opened and a very surprised Kagome, Sesshomaru, and Rin entered. "What kind of black magic is this," yelled both of the Sesshomarus as they faced each other, one Sesshomaru reaching for his sword, the other cracking his clawed fingers.
Now on with the show:
'Damn that miko and her damn common sense, how the hell was I bested by an ignorant and extremely naïve female human' thought Sesshomaru madly as he watch the two Kagomes chatting away like nothing had happened. It was kind of unnerving really, truth be told he couldn't handle one Kagome; two was like opening the Gates of Chaos. Sesshomaru let out a silent sigh as he tried to calm down and think about what had just occurred moments ago.
Flashback:
"SESSHOMARU PLEASE STOP!" both Kagomes yelled out in worry as they raced forward and tried to calm down their suspicious demon lords. The Sesshomaru that belonged to that era, well that dimension anyways, stopped his claws only centimeters away from Kagomes weak and exposed neck. While the other one let Tokiojin rest against his Kagomes throat. Sesshomaru watch with a small amount of satisfaction as a strand of blood ran down her pale neck and stopped at her collar bone.
"Now let's sit down and talk about this," the Kagome from that dimension said with a sigh. The Sesshomaru without a sword made "hn" in agreement, but their counterparts didn't move a muscle.
Sesshomaru was entranced by the metallic tang scent of blood that rose in the air and mixed with Kagomes flowery scent. 'She's scared I can smell it," he thought as he looked into her shinning blue eyes that looked ready to burst with tears. "Rins making me soft," Sesshomaru thought with a barely audible sigh as he removed and sheathed his sword.
Kagomes eyes widened slightly as she clutched her neck after he removed his sword. For a moment Kagome was scared, heck she was utterly terrified by the intense almost animalistic look that glazed over the golden jewels that where Sesshomarus eyes. With a small nod in agreement both Kagomes move to sit down and the Sesshomarus moved to lean against the wall.
End Flashback:
(Yes Im flashback happy, leave me be.)
Sesshomaru finally looked over at his copy at nearly growled as he saw what he was wearing. 'Charcoal gray pants and a plain black polo shirt, damn that dream, damn this whole messed up dimension, 'thought Sesshomaru in frustration. Finally deciding to deal with what was bothering him he used his demonic speed, and grabbed his Kagome. Then without using much power at all he lifted her up and carried her outside. "Alright Miko you are going to explain to me what is going on, and you are going to tell me now," Sesshomaru snarled as he pinned her against the God Tree.
Kagomes scent was full of fear for all of about one second before it became laced in anger and her eyes seemed to light on fire. "Sesshomaru Taiyouki of the Western Lands WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!" yelled Kagome in pure rage. Though when she saw Sesshomarus eyes tinge red in fury she curled up on herself and shivered in fear 'o great I'm going to die because of my big mouth'. Though what she heard nearly killed her as much as Sesshomarus claws would have. It was a laugh, deep and rich, perfect in every way just like its owner. Sesshomaru, the cold, heartless, and not to mention human hating Lord of the west was standing in front of her laughing.
Now Sesshomaru would never be able to explain why he broke out into hysterics, nor did he ever want to know, but as soon as he got over the pain in his ears he just laughed. After regaining his composure he lifted up Kagomes chin so that he could look her in the eye. "Now answer this Sesshomaru and tell me why we are not back home?" he questioned with his normal stoic mask back in place.
Kagome took in a deep breath of air before she answered as calmly as he she possible could," I think some has sealed the way back to our dimension for I can no longer sense the way home." Sesshomaru didn't say anything, but by the firmness of his clenched jaw and the clenching and unclenching of his claws told her he was pissed.
After settling down a bit Sesshomaru used his most commanding voice and best glare to tell Kagome," We will be going back through the well tomorrow, I suddgest you learn away to break the spell before then." With that he was gone, disappeared into the night.
"It doesn't matter where they come from huh; Sesshomaru will always be Sesshomaru," the other Kagome remarked as she walked over to her counterpart and put a comforting hand on her back.
"Yeah he is an arrogant pompous jerk," Kagome retorted as she stood and brushed off the tree bark from her back.
"You just have to get use to him, if he is like the Sesshomaru I know then he will get nicer as you get to know him," the other remarked with another with another comforting pat on the back.
"Feh," Kagome retorted as she crossed her arms over her chest, looking oddly like Inuyasha.
"Now don't you start with that, or may have to 'sit' you," the other Kagome teased as she lead her counterpart back into the house to sleep.
Kagome ended up sleeping on the couch with Buyo, but she kept tossing and turning that sleep seemed impossible. She was worried about Sesshomaru or to be more precise what Sesshomaru was doing in a city of humans. After drinking a couple of cups of tea and clearing her mind Kagome finally went to sleep at around three a.m. Of course her wake up call was rather rude.
Sesshomaru returned to house at around five, after he had satisfied all of his curiosity and then some on the strange town. As silent as the predator he was, Sesshomaru made his way over to the sleeping form of Kagome. Her hair was sprawled out beneath her in an ebony curtain and her enticing scent seemed even stronger then normal. 'Aw to dream, with a care' Sesshomaru thought vaguely as he leaned down and brushed away a stray lock of stubborn hair. He let his hand rest gently on her check before it dawned on him what he was doing and who he was touching. This sudden realization only caused his anger to spike and to cause his hand to move and grasp her shoulder firmly before shaking Kagome like a useless rag doll.
Kagome shot upward with a resounding 'eep' when she felt pain shoot through her shoulder. "Sesshomaru stop that hurts," Kagome whined as she looked at his deadly claws burning into her flesh.
When the tangy scent of blood struck the air and Sesshomaru looked into a face so much like Rins he pulled back quickly and with slightly widened eyes. His eyes said that he was sorry by the way they shined, but he just could not bring himself to say that horrid five letter word. "Come, I wish to leave for the well," Sesshomaru commanded with a little less harshness then usual.
Kagome couldn't quite figure out his strange mood, but she did read the unspoken apology in his eyes and nodded slightly in forgiveness before standing up. "Alright just give me time to bathe," Kagome answered before she headed up stairs. A few minutes later the smell of shampoo and the sound of running water were heard.
It only took her about fifteen minutes to get ready and changed before Kagome headed downstairs and out the door to the well, where she sensed Sesshomarus youki. He was starring down the well with his usual blank look on his face before he moved and grabbed Kagome by the waist. "Time to go, hold on tight," Sesshomaru remarked before he leaned down into a crouching position then leaped gracefully into the well.
A bright violet light surrounded them and Kagome began to feel the normal tug of her own dimension, before suddenly a strong almost painfully jolt of energy went through her. She began to feel dizzy and close to unconsciousness when Sesshomarus light squeeze of his arm brought her back to reality and she pointed towards were she had felt the jolt. The smell of the old well on the feeling of the cold ground calmed her frazzled nerves but she could not rid her self of the ominous feeling she received from the world they where now in.
"I smell blood and death, lots of death," remarked the now tense Taiyouki that stood beside her. His eyes were focused upwards at the grey sky that loomed above before he pulled them both out of the well with quick leap. The forest Kagome expected to see when she got out of the well was still there and so was the Goshinboku tree, but in front of Inuyashas favorite tree were six old graves.
Both of them moved forward, as if compelled by the sight of the gray stones. A light sheen of rain began its relentless drizzle and thunder could be heard in the distance. "No it can't be," Kagome whispered almost inaudibly as she suddenly spotted one of the graves after lighting struck in the still darkened sky above. The first grave had the name Shippo carved deeply into it, fallowed by a brief inscription. The other graves where the same, name then inscription, but the names changed Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and herself.
"Impossible," Sesshomaru spook for the first time in a small whisper, as he looked the graves over for what seemed like the fiftieth time.
"Dad," Spoke a surprised male voice from behind them and caused Sesshomaru to turn quickly around. He had to actually stop himself from gasping as he looked into what seemed to be a shorter mirrored version of himself. It was teenage boy with midlength silver hair that was pulled up into a ponytail and his bangs hung haphazardly at the side of his face. On his right check were one dark blue and one maroon stripe, and resting on his forehead was the trademark teal crescent moon. The only things that greatly bothered Sesshomaru about the boy was how he was dressed and the strong scent of blood that lingered on him. The boy wore a leather dog collar on around his neck and tight muscle shirt left little to the imagination, but obviously gave him good movibility if he needed to fight.
"Who are you," spoke Kagome first as she looked the boy over with what could only be called a critical eye.
"My name is Engetsu, son Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Kagome of the western lands," He remarked firmly with an obvious amount of pride in his voice. Kagome could not help but gasp and Sesshomaru, well Sesshomaru settled with a slight widening of his eyes.
