Inuyasha
The Truth
Chapter II
Inuyasha was the first one to open their eyes, and what he saw made him yelp. He was stareing back at... himself? Yes, only he was wareing pink. "You're awake! OH, I hope the others are all right." Said the pink Inuyasha. The regular Inuyasha blinked. "Oh, right, the name thing might be a problem when they wake up... um... oh! I know! Call me Baku!" The pink Inuyasha said, clapping his hands with glee. Inuyasha scrambled back and into a tree. "Where the hell am I?" He snapped. Sango opened her eyes next, laying a distance away beside Miroku. She also saw herself, only with a high pony tail. And the other her was STAREING at Miroku. She blinked. "OH, you are awake. Call me Ognas. Your name spelled backwards, if I'm correct?" Sango nodded. "Good." Ognas said, then continued to stare at Miroku. Miroku woke up next, to see Ognas stareing at him. He blinked and looked around, and soon saw himslef, standing a distance away, brow raised at Ognas. "Leave him alone, you pervert." He said simply. "You can call me Mirrou." He added. His robe was ivory, instead of the dark purple that was Mirokus. Shippo was the next to open his eyes, and saw, sitting cross-legged a distance away, a Kitsune with a fluffy white tail and white hair. It opened one eye to look at Shippo, and closed it again slowly. "Call me Kit." He said slowly, calmly, venemously. Inuyasha noticed that Kagome had not yet opened her eyes, and the creature inside him whined and raised its head. Finally, Kagome opened her eyes and sat up. Inuyasha darted over to help her, and in doing so he came face-to-face with another Kagome, only this one had dark eye makeup and wore pitch black cloths. She stared at the two of them, not blinking. "Call me Meka." She said in a toneless voice. Kagome stared at her opposite. "Where are we?" Inuyasha asked Meka. "You're in your opposite state of mind." She anwsered. "How do we get out?" Kagome asked this time. "You find The Truth, and defeat them." For some reason, what Meka said sent a shiver down Inuyashas spine. Shakeing his head, Inuyasha stood, and was relieved to see Kagome, Shippo, Sango, and Miroku stand aswell. Finally, Kirara stood, stareing at a black two-tail with white stripes. The two mewed to eachother for a bit, before they lept into either Sango's or Ognas' arms. "This is Rakiki." Ognas said, strokeing the cat and standing rather close to Mirrou. Together, Kagome, Miroku, and Sango all said, "I figured that." Inuyasha was silent, stareing into space. "Inu-kun?" Kagome said, waveing her hand infront of his face. Inuyasha jumped a bit. "What?" He said, suddenly back to normal as he shot Kagome a glare. "You were zoneing out." Kagome said. "So?" Inuyasha snapped, crossing his arms. Baku walked foreward. "Gee, somebody woke up on the wrong side of the tree branch." He mumbled, to recieve a sharp blow over the head by Inuyasha. "Besides 'The Truth,' is there anyone else here?" Sango asked. Mirrou nodded. "Mm-hm, there's everybody. Of corse, they all have different names, but you'll reconize them. So you'll help us defeat The Truth?" Mirrou asked hopefully. "Duh!" Kagome said. "I don't want to stay here! I want to go home!" She said, burying her face in her hands. Kit opened both eyes and stood slowly. "Yeah, but if anyone becomes blubbering idiots and runs away scared, I'm leaveing." He said. "And before we face The Truth, we have to visit Ukaran." He added, and Baku clapped his hands happily. "Yay! We're going to see Ukaran! We're going to see Ukaran! He fooled The Truth once, you know! I mean, he fooled me too, but he's fun!" Baku cheered. Inuyasha blinked. He had a bad feeling about this.
In a few minutes the twelvesome was off, Inuyasha and Baku leading the way, exchangeing information. Behind them was Sango and Ognas, who were also happily tittering away, holding Kirara and Rakiki in their arms. Behind them were Kagome and Meka, who didn't speak at all to eachother exept for a few words every few minutes. And behind them was Miroku and Mirrou, who were talking as well, mostly about the oddity of comeing face-to-face with the opposite of their friends. And bringing up the rear was Shippo and Kit, who occasionally spoke of one thing or another. It was quite a sight to see, but not nearly as much as the sight that made Inuyasha slam on the brakes the stare at. Inuyasha smirked at the sight of what looked like Lord Sesshomaru's castle. "Can we make a pit stop?" Inuyasha asked. "I have to see this for myself." He walked torewards the castle, followed by the others. They walked in quietly, and Baku immidietly spoke to a silver-maned being, with his back to them. "Hello brother!" The figure lept into the air with a small shout and spun around, and Inuyasha stared at a shakeing version of Sesshomaru. "Don't... don't s-s-scare me like th-th-that!" He stammered. Inuyasha dropped to the ground, howling with laughter. This made the figure of Sesshomaru jump again. "This is my half-brother, Oshu." Baku said quietly, giggleing behind his hand at Inuyasha's behavior. "This... Sesshomaru... He's NEVER going to... live this down!" Inuyasha said between laughter. Baku, Ognas, Mirrou, and Meka all yelped. "NO! You can't tell anyone about this place!" Inuyasha blinked, laughter slowly ceaseing. "Wha? Why not?" The four others looked at eachother. "Er... dunno." Meka said, blinking once. Inuyasha blinked again, then stood and brushed off. Oshu was still shivering like a chiwawa. Inuyasha snorted at this. "Wh-wh-what's so fu-fu-funny?" Oshu stuttered. "Nothing." Inuyasha said, waveing his clawed hand. "C'mon, lets go, I've had my fun." Meka, Baku, Mirrou, Kit, Ognas, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo all nodded and followed Inuyasha out of the castle.
