Disclaimer: If I owned Sesshy or Inu, I highly doubt I'd be writing a story like this. (Then again…)

...I have homework I should be doing, but that's what separates me from the "good" students. I'm a very experienced procrastinator!...

Chapter 7 … Six Sesshomarus Too?

It was a quiet evening. Kagome sighed with relief, grateful that she was finally out of that dreadful forest. It had been rather scary, and the Inuyashas had been acting pretty strangely for a while there. In any case, it was all over.

"Hey, Kagome…" It was Shippo.

"Yes?"

"When d'you think we'll find Roku?"

"Hm?"

"Roku! The guy who split Inuyasha into six people!"

"Oh! Uh…sorry, Shippo," Kagome apologized. "My mind was kind of wandering. What was that again?"

Shippo sighed, annoyed. "Never mind."

He slouched as he kicked a rock, wishing it were candy. He was grouchy because of cheerful Inuyasha, would had kept him up all night singing opera. To make matters worse, angry Inuyasha snored really loudly. And scaredy Inuyasha wouldn't go to bed without his "special blankie." It was a wonder he had managed to get any sleep at all.

"Do you think blue would be more of my color?"

Shippo rolled his eyes. Here they came: the Inuyashas. They allowed him no privacy!

"What?"

"Blue. You know, to match my sensitive nature."

"Pfft. Perverted Inuyasha, you're about as sensitive as Sango's butt."

"Oh, have you been staring at it too, angry Inuyasha?"

"Wha—well, not exactly—"

FWBAM! FWBAM! Any idiot could have seen that that was coming. Angry Inuyasha and perverted Inuyasha both received a slap across their cheeks from Sango. Not to be outdone, Miroku stepped in and did what he did best: groped Sango's butt. A third FWBAM! was heard, this time indicating Sango's victory over all three males.

"I think I lost a tooth from that one…" Perverted Inuyasha muttered.

"Feh," Angry Inuyasha snapped, sucking it up.

Miroku simply stood up and brushed himself off. "C'mon. We're falling behind. Kagome and the others are clear up there."

Later…

"Roku-Shujin…" Normal Inuyasha muttered. "That bastard. He's close by. I can smell it."

Kagome poked her head up with interest. "He's close by? Do you think we'll be able to catch him?"

Angry Inuyasha sniffed too. "Yeah, he's close all right! I think we'll be able to catch him. That's definitely a good thing 'cause I've been waiting to beat him to a bloody pulp for ages!"

Everyone began hurrying with high hopes. The Inuyashas led the way, hoping to soon catch the demon they'd long been anticipating a fight with. But scaredy Inuyasha didn't budge.

"Come on, you scaredy dog," cheerful Inuyasha called back. "We've gotta hurry!"

"B-b-but…Sesshomaru…"

"Huh?" That name made everybody stop in their tracks.

A look of apprehension overcame normal Inuyasha. "Scaredy Inuyasha's right. Sesshomaru…he's close by."

The other four Inuyashas sniffed the air a little until they were sure Sesshomaru was there for themselves. He seemed to be very close to Roku, oddly enough.

"Is everything okay?" Kagome gave normal Inuyasha a worried glance.

"Yep," normal Inuyasha said confidently. "He won't get in our way. Now let's go find Roku!"

The group moved onward searching for any signs of Roku being around. They found none, but they did find something a little more interesting. And that 'thing' came right at them.

"OHHHH!"

A short green creature jumped out onto the path running around in circles. He was waving around a staff as he wailed. A little girl with black hair tied into a side ponytail also appeared, however a lot more calm.

"Master Jaken," she said, "what's wrong?"

"Rin!" the green demonic creature cried hoarsely. "OHHH! Lord Sesshomaru is…oh, woe is me! OHHH!"

Kagome stepped closer to Rin. She had been sort of acquainted with the girl before, and she wanted to know what was going on.

"Rin? What happened?"

Rin looked up at Kagome with curious eyes. "I don't know exactly. Master Jaken won't say."

Kagome sighed and approached Jaken, who was still running wildly around in circles, flailing the staff of two heads like a madman. She jerked the staff from his grip and raised it above her head so Jaken couldn't reach it.

"Augh! My staff!" Jaken cried.

"I'll give it back if you tell me what's going on," Kagome stated.

"Kagome," Angry Inuyasha said, "we don't have time. Roku's scent is fading fast."

Kagome ignored angry Inuyasha and maintained her stern look. She wanted Jaken to be sure than she meant business, and she wanted to know exactly what was going on.

"Lord Sesshomaru…he…"

"Go on." Kagome threw Jaken a very demanding look.

Jaken opened his odd mouth to speak, but no words came out. Instead, Sesshomaru himself appeared as if out of nowhere right behind Jaken.

"Jaken. Where have you been?" he said as freakily unemotional as always.

Jaken jumped in surprise and fear. "M-M'lord? You are all right then?"

Sesshomaru's face quickly changed to angry, quite an unusual sight since he was normally so inexpressive and pokerfaced. "Jaken! What were you thinking, running off like that? You incompetent, little—"

Sesshomaru was so busy screaming madly that he didn't bother to notice six Inuyashas, let alone one of them. This was very odd behavior for him to enact.

Kagome wondered if possibly—no, that couldn't be…but Roku had been—no… her fears were soon proved to be correct as another Sesshomaru appeared. This one was acting quite pleased.

"Hello, Rinny. How's it going?"

Rin's eyes were wide, and her mouth stood as far open as it could get. Jaken was gaping in horror as if he had known this to be the truth the whole time but had not wanted to face reality and admit it. Kagome, Shippo, Sango, and Miroku all looked very surprised, and the Inuyashas each had their own reaction to the situation (but I'm sure you all ready knew that).

"Oh—my—god—" Kagome had to mentally remind herself to breath.

When the third and forth Sesshomarus showed up, it was a wonder Jaken and Rin didn't faint.

When the fifth and sixth Sesshomarus came along, it was a wonder they managed to even stay alive.

"W-wh-what's going on here?" Jaken screeced, repossessing the staff of two heads Kagome had dropped out of shock.

The Sesshomarus finally noticed the Inuyashas (they become so unobservant when they split into six), and they approached them hastily.

Normal Sesshomaru spoke first, his voice plain. "You too, eh?"

Normal Inuyasha glared. "Roku?"

"Yes."

While they spoke, cheerful Inuyasha and cheerful Sesshomaru had begun to scream loudly just for the heck of it.

"Quit it!" Angry Inuyasha snapped. "Do you want to blow our ear drums out?"

The two perverted dog-demon brothers had all ready banded together (with Miroku), prepared to spread havoc among the beautiful females of Japan.

Normal Sesshomaru flinched in aggravation, the most emotion he had displayed in a long time. "What an embarrassment."

A/N: Okay, short chappie (as usual). I wasn't much in the mood for writing today, so sorry if it sucked. Anyway, keep reviewing please and I hope you look forward to my next chapter!
