Siblings
Kagome blinked rapidly, trying to merge the two figures before her into one, but after about five minutes of that attempt, she decided that what she was seeing was real. There were two Sesshoumarus in front of her. She turned her head slowly, trying to catch the looks of her friends and found them nearly dying, especially Inuyasha, who seemed as if he was just going to collapse right there and then as his face turned into a shade of blue.
He shook his head to regain the consciousness of his mind, then growled and screamed at the top of his lungs. "What the hell! What the hell do you think you're doing Sesshoumaru, trying to trick me like that? With a stupid illusion! You need to do better than that!"
The one with the calm face turned toward the one beside him with an arched eyebrow, he then whispered loud enough to carry to the rest five on the field. "I wish he would be an illusion, but you don't always get what you wish for, do you now Inuyasha?
"Aww, Inu-chan, I'm hurt." The other one stated, placing a hand over his heart. "You would say that to your dear dear brother?"
"Brother my ass!" Inuyasha yelled, cracking his knuckles, "I'm going to break that illusion Sesshoumaru, and you're gonna have to come up with a better plan than the family reunion crap." With that, the Han-you leapt up in air and raised his claws to the one who just spoke, who dodged it with ease while holding a hand over his heart.
"Inu-chan! I can't believe you're doing this to your sweet innocent brother." The twin of Sesshoumaru confessed while hopping around the field.
"Shut up!"
Twenty minutes and three broken tables later.
"Damn you Sesshoumaru, you could of told me he was real." Inuyasha narrowed his eyes, showing a fang.
"Inuyasha, he did." Shippo answered with a slight grin. "But you were being too pig-headed as usual." He ended up with a large bump on his head as he clutched his hair and wept.
Sango flashed a warm smile toward the twins. "So, what's your name?" She questioned the one who 'fought' against Inuyasha.
"Me?" He pointed to himself with an astonished look on his face as everyone else nodded. "Oh, it's Ri."
"Huh?" The five friends blinked.
"No really, what's your name?" Sango questioned once more.
"It's Ri."
The girl from the other world twitched a bit as she spoke dryly. "So, it's Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru……. And Ri?"
The twin of Sesshoumaru nodded brightly.
"And I thought your father had a thing for long names….." Kagome faked a smile.
"No, I think that only started after Maru-chan was born." Ri pulled a hand under his chin and stared blankly to the empty space beside him for that half a second. "Or maybe it was after Rou-chan. I don't know…" He paused, then perked up again. "Oh well."
Miroku halted briefly, then took a step forward. "Ri, who is Maru? Is she another one of your relatives we have not met yet?"
"No, you all met Maru-chan." He grinned at the confused faces of the five around him, then pointed to Sesshoumaru with an innocent smile. "This is Maru-chan, I'm sure you've all met him."
Inuyasha almost died laughing as he clutched his stomach and rolled over the field of grass, crushing them and made a nice little clearing about two persons wide.
To kagome's surprise, there was the slightest hint of irritation over Sesshoumaru's usually calm face for just that split second, then there was a mask over his face again. "Don't call me that Ri."
His twin clapped his hands together and smiled a childlike smile. "Call you what Maru-chan?"
"What you're calling me now." Sesshoumaru nearly twitched.
"A-re? You mean Maru-chan?" He grinned. "Then do you prefer me to call you Marshmallow-chan instead? It does sound more like your name."
Sesshoumaru growled as he turned and walked away from the crowd. "Do what you like you imbecile." The great demon of the west sat down beside a table to the side of the arrangement and drifted off into space.
Kagome tilted her head lightly and smiled to Ri, she had a weird sense of respect for him, after all, he was the only one she knew that could agitate Sesshoumaru. He was going to get extra cupcakes.
Then she suddenly remembered about the cupcakes.
"Oh no! My bag!" She screeched as she recalled that her bag was still on her bike about five minutes away. "Sorry, I'll be right back!" The girl waved to the others and ran toward the entrance where they came in just a couple of minutes ago.
The minute and half of running was nothing to her, reminded that she had practice chasing Inuyasha around whenever he did something wrong, though she's been sitting him too much nowadays. Kagome picked up the large bag that only she could lift and threw it over her shoulders, loosing balance as she begun to fall but caught herself before she did…. And bumped into someone behind her.
She turned her head up and looked into another graceful face that carried an aura of calmness with bright gold eyes and silver hair about three inches from hers, she gulped. Maybe it was because she's been hanging out with Inuyasha too much, but whenever she saw a face like his that close, she tend to blush.
Stumbling away, she waved away the blush. "Hi, I suppose you're another Inuyasha's relatives."
The one beside her nodded, then a tiny smile spread the lips as Kagome got a better view of the one who stood before her.
As everyone in Inuyasha's family, the trail of the hair, eyes, youkai marks, and the overly beautiful face, a large cloak concealed most of the figure as huge shoulder pads spread with spikes and bones. It reminded herself that the first time she saw Sesshoumaru, she had though he was Inuyasha's older sister, Kagome decided she was not going to make the same mistake again.
"Hi, I'm Kagome, a pleasure meeting you." She held out her hand to the man before her.
"Saya." The demon answered with a nod of acknowledgement started walking toward where the crowd was, leaving Kagome with her hand out and looking like an idiot.
The girl forced a fake smile on her face as she chased after Inuyasha's relative.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha!" Inuyasha rolled on the floor over and over again as the other three peered over him with concern while the crushed field of grass enlarged to about five persons wide.
"I think he's sick." Sango mentioned as Shippo kept his distance from the han-you that hit him just minutes ago.
Miroku sighed. "He's been sick for quite a long time." He made circular motions with one of his fingers next to his temple.
"Ano, just who are you to Inuyasha?" Kagome questioned as the two approached to rows of tables.
"Inu's my little brother." Saya answered quietly as he suddenly paused and shifted his attention to the skipping Ri that approached him, and finally embraced him as a chuckle escaped his throat.
"Saya-chan!" He grinned and backed away from Saya. "I'm glad you can take your time off and come!"
"Or course Ri, you know I wouldn't miss the reunion for the world." Saya smirked. "After all, it is very memorable, and a good laugh that should last me for a couple hundreds of years."
Kagome noticed the similarities and differences between the two brothers, then decided that both of them are actually very handsome, if not striking in appearance. Her attention shifted as Saya walked over to an empty seat and started to take off his huge cloak along with the shoulder pads. The weighty thing landed on the chair with a loud thud, then managed to break the chair and create a rather deep dent on the floor.
Kagome blinked a bit. "That thing must weight a ton!" She whispered.
"Seven thousand pounds actually." Saya turned around to face the others with a warm smile. "It's a good thing to train speed with."
The only thing that came out of Kagome's mouth for the next five minutes was the word "chest" as she stared in bewilderment as the Saya before her.
Apparently she was wrong again at guessing the gender of Inuyasha's family members.
"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Inuyasha could barely catch his breath.
"Doesn't he ever get tired of this? It's been almost thirty minutes." Shippo asked as he hid behind Sango.
The youkai hunter and the priest shook their heads. "Nope."
