Chapter 4: An Embarrasing Moment, and Splitting Up
Chapter 4! Do most people write so quickly? Eh, doesn't matter. Anyway, I didn't get any reviews for the last chapter, but that's probably because I wrote it last night. Anyway, it seems you've enjoyed my fic, so please; continue to do so for as long as it may last. Also, I want to thank Mooxox and Rosecat again.When the word "favorites" came up, I knew I'd contiue. Thanks. Enjoy.
Less than an hour later, when every one was awake they sat in their typical circle, to discuss the situation as it were. They all sat across from their other, staring his or herself up and down, drinking inany little difference there may be. When everyone was satisfied, conversation began. "Does anybody here have any idea as to how thissituation could have come about?" asked Miroku2. "Naraku's handiwork, quite obviously, it seems he used something to send us to a parallel, though addly similiar,universe," said Miroku, remembering the conversation his universe had had before, "But I what I don't understand," he continued, "is how it's any different. Save for the small, near unnoticeable things." "Hmmph, speak for yourself." said Inuyasha. This earned him a look from everyone but himself. "What does that mean? You and… you aren't the least bit different." observed Kagome. "Not who I was talking about." "We'll worry about that later, for now, we have bigger problems." said Miroku casting himself a glance, mainly his naked right hand. "So in your universe, or whatever, Naraku is still alive?" asked Kagome2. "Yeah, isn't he alive here? Did you already kill him?" asked her counterpart. "Yeah, a year ago. In fact, we were just on our way to his castle to celebrate our "Narake's Dead" anniversary.Well ... atleast it used to be his castle." "What is it now?" asked Sango out of curiosity. "Rubble." stated Inuyasha2 simply. From this information, Miroku was able to successfully piece together … some of the situation. "Hmm… then that must be where we just come from." said Miroku. "So that means… Naraku just sent us to the same place… somewhere else?" said Kagome confused. "Or perhaps, ahead in time, as I said before." said Sango, repeating her earlier suggestion. "That's a possibility, but if you were sent ahead in time, that would mean we were, too. Wouldn't it?" said the other Sango, confused. "An excellent suggestion, my dear Sango, but perhaps something about how Naraku made whatever sent them, err, us here, caused … the group to lose their, our, memories?" "Ugh! I'm so confused! I need a nap." said Kagome2, leaning tiredly against Inuyasha2, )who did nothing to avoid it, everyone noticed). "Maybe she's right. Let's just get to sleep and talk about it the morning." said Inuyasha2, before adding, "before somebody's head explodes. "There's a lovely thought." said Kagome2 sarcastically, walking off in one direction with him, Shippo following close behind, as Sango2 and Miroku2 walked off in another diresction, Kirara on their heels. "Hey," said Kagome, realizing something, "did they just leave… together?" Inuyasha, his face red thought, "I hope I'm not the one who has to tell her in the morning." A flash of the other Kagome's neck went into his mind, and it was all he could do to keep consciousness.
THAT MORNING!
Everyonewoke up early, because they had gone to sleep early. That makes sense right? Anyway, the groups walked over and sat down in the exact same places they had been yesterday, and our first group did the same thing they had done last time. Stared at themselves, mainly the large rings and marked necks. "I've thought it over, and I think that Naraku sent you to another universe, or dimension, that's 1 year ahead of time." deduced Miroku. It had taken him all night to figure that out, but they didn't need to know that. "So, wait. You mean he sent us to another universe, and ahead in time? Oh my head!This is so confusing! Why does this stuff happen to me? I'm seventeen for god's sake!" shouted Kagome. "I know. It's hard." agreed the other Kagome. "Why me?" they asked each other in unison. "Because you're the reincarnation of the priestess that originally kept the Shikon jewel. Did you forget?" said Inuyasha, a look on his face that said: "Shouldn't you know this by now?" He got glares squared from the Kagomes that nearly sent him scampering to hell and back. "Rhetorical question." they said still in unison. Then they broke their glares, (much to Inuyasha's relief) to look at each other, as most people do after two sentences in a row of speaking in unison. With Kagome looking at her counterparts' neck, she couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what's that thing on your neck? I don't have that." "Umm…" started everyone but Miroku, Sango, and Kagome. "?" said those mentioned. "Perhaps," started Miroku2, "We should explain these things to our counterparts, that way there's no group discomfort." "What things?" asked Sango worriedly. After all, rings are easier to see the meaning ofthan mating marks.
The "Universe 2" group sighed and left to parts of the woods. They had to be pretty far away because of a certain pair of hanyous' ears. Since, they were the hanyous, they started talking soon after leaving the camp. The Shippos and Kiraras stayed behind so that someone could watch the camp, and because Kirara talked in a little cat-demon language, and nobody really cared what Shippo said, because he wasn't with anyone. "Why are they like that? Did they figure out their feelings?" "Yeah," said Shippo2, "but hold on a second." Right then, two loud, high-pitched screams, and a loud "WHAT!" echoed through the forest. "Wow, should they really be that surprised?" asked Shippo, as a whole bunch of birds flew away, scared by the noise. "Shippo, err, me, it took Inuyasha and Kagome 10 months after Naraku died. I guess they're weren't expecting itjust yet." "let me guess, Miroku waited about a week?" "Little me, you hit the nail on the head." Shippo had a confused look on his face. "That's a saying from Mama's time she taught me." "Mama's time? You mean…?" started Shippo excitedly. "Wow, I've got a lot to tell you." And so, Shippo2 filled Shippo in on everything he could to the extent of his 11-year-old abilities.
As I said, nobody cares about what Shippo says, because he's far less animated. So the next four chapters will be dedicated completely to other 4 explaining things to themselves and reminiscing. Boy am I gonna have fun reminiscing! Enjoy.
