"Jess...?" she said as she turned to look at her.
Jess looked at her. "What?"
"I never told you what Naraku wanted me to tell you did I" she said looking a little sorry
"I don't think so."
"Your a part of...me" she said as she pointed to her arm. "You know that small heart like scar on your upper arm..."
Jess looked slightly pale, but she nodded.
"It was an accident a long time ago. When I was young. My father had tried to do what Naraku does with the creating himself in different forms. but what happened instead was that he spilled the ingredients on me and I was duplicated. My mother in turn purified you. you went on and were sent off to another women's womb..." Kat said with guilt in her eyes.
Jess looked at her for a long time. When her voice came, it was quiet, and very distant. "If I was a clone, then why are we so different?"
"Because. You're a different side of who I Am." Katrina said as she pulled back her sleeve and showed the same scar on her arm. "When you have a different side. You have a different person"
"I... I see."
Kat's body shuddered and she grabbed onto the well's siding. "Something wrong."
Jess looked up sharply. "What is it?"
"Something wrong with Kouga!" She said her eyes filled with fear. She Grabbed the boxes and Jumped into the well.
Jess quickly followed her into the well.
Katrina looked at the outside with tears in her eyes. There was death all around. "Jess you smell that" she said shaking uncontrollably.
"no..." Kat looked in front of her. she saw flashes of death and pain of others.
Jess nodded, all the color drained from her face. "We have to find the others."
Jess shook her head. "I'll catch up with you later! There's a couple of people I need to find!" She raced off.
"find your life" she said as she stood up and headed at super human speed to Kouga's den.
Jess ran down the path to where Sesshoumaru and Rin were supposed to be. "Please be okay!" She thought, again and again.
Jess burst in through the doors. "Sesshoumaru! Rin! Are you in here?"
Jess cried a little bit. "Is Sesshoumaru okay?"
Rin nodded. "Lord Sesshoumaru is just fine," she said. "He's asleep right now." Jess walked quietly into his room. She let out a sigh of relief. He was okay.
----------------------------------------------
Katrina ran in and Jumped on Kouga kissing him full on the lips. "Are you okay. Something happened didn't it!"
Kouga looked at her and wrapped him arm around her waist. "Half of my tribe was wiped out..."
Katrina's eyes widen. "What is going to happen now..." she said watching as he nuzzled into the crook of her neck.
Katrina felt a sting on her neck and then it all stop as she dropped backwards exhausted.
----------------------------------------------
Jess felt something soft. All she remembered was falling asleep outside Sesshoumaru's bedroom.
Sesshoumaru nudged Jess to see if she would wake up. "Jess."
Jess looked up. "Huh? What's going on?"
Sesshoumaru looked at her for a moment. "You fell asleep. I brought you into my room. Now it is early and your friend is outside."
"Kat's outside? I should go see her." Jess stood up, noticing that the soft thing was Sesshoumaru's tail.
Sesshoumaru helped her up. "Yes you should. she said something about. 'its tomorrow' or something" he said as he headed to the door.
Jess walked outside and looked over at Kat. "What's tomorrow?" she asked.
"THE WEDDING!" she said going bug eyed. She held up her PDA and pointed to the mini calendar.
Jess's eyes widened. "No way!"
"Yes way!" Kat said grinning.
"I don't believe it! Oh my gosh, I am SO not ready for this!"
"You weren't ready in the first place Jessie-chan" Kat said patting her back.
Jess nodded. "I know. I'm still totally immature." She grinned. "But at least I've got Sesshoumaru."
"Yeah he is mature enough for the all three of us" Kat said sticking her tongue out and hugging her. "So what are we going to do?
Jess thought for a moment. "Hm, we could pick the spot for the wedding. Or did we already do that?"
"I thought the hot-springs might be fun!" Kat said as she started towards the door.
"Ooh! That sounds great! And the reception can be at Sesshoumaru's castle! There's a lot of room there, and it's so beautiful!
"AND! We can have a place to change before everyone gets there!"
Jess nodded. "Precisely! We can use my room!"
Kat Smiled. "Well I think we made the right choice don't you" She said as she played with Jess' hair.
Jess smiled and nodded.
Katrina stood up and walked to the door. "So wanna go to the house or you wanna eat?"
"I'm having breakfast with Rin and Sesshoumaru, okay?"
"Okays I am going to go hunt with Kouga" Katrina said winking at her friend and heading off.
Jess waved and went back inside the cottage. "Hey, Fluffy-sama!"
Sesshoumaru cringed but ignored it. "Yes."
Jess giggled at the reaction. She went over and hugged him. "What are we having for breakfast?" she asked.
"Rice!" said Rin joining the hugging.
Jess smiled, putting a hand on Rin's back. "Sounds good."
"Really!" Said Rin cheerfully and hugging Jess's leg. "Will you help me make it?"
"Hey You guys" Kat said walking in with a fox in her arms.
Jess saw the fox a squealed. "It's so cute!"
"Yeah it was laying on the ground on the path whimpering" Kat said hugging it.
Sesshoumaru Smiled lightly at Jess and Kat's antics.
Jess scratched the fox behind its ear. "Aw, the poor thing."
"Yeah" Kat said with a sigh then angrily stated "A certain toad attacked it for target practice"
Jess looked a little shocked. "He didn't!"
"Yeah he did...I tapped its memories..." she said with a sigh.
"No!" Rin said with a shocked expression
Jess turned to Sesshoumaru. "Where's Jaken?"
"I have no idea I told him to leave"... Sesshoumaru said after moving to the front door.
Jess followed him. "Why did you tell him to leave?"
"He was bothering me" Sesshoumaru stated after opening the door and looking for the demon.
Jess blinked. Then she walked over to Rin. "Should we get started on breakfast, Rin?"
"Yes Momma" Said Rin as she looked at Kat for a second. 'I wonder why she told me to call Jess-Sama that...'
Jess blushed slightly, then gave Kat a dirty look.
Katrina smiled innocently. "What is that look for?"
"I don't doubt that you told Rin to start calling me that."
"Me! Plot something! Never!" she said with her impish grin on her face.
"Jess-Sama...Breakfast" Rin said sitting in the kitchen.
"I'm coming." Jess went inside and started helping Rin make breakfast.
Half an hour latter they had breakfast sitting on the table. "Wow looks good!" Said Kat eating quickly.
Jess Laughed at Kat. "Very Nice" Sesshoumaru said secretly stealing a kiss from Jess. Jess turned bright red.
"I SAW THAT!" Yelled Kat. Rin Simply stated it with the same smile Kat had on.
Jess quietly continued eating her breakfast, still very red.
"So anyway Rin, The best way to scare people Shi-What's THAT dirty look for?" Kat said looking at Sesshoumaru as he glared at Kat for trying to teach Rin to be more like her.
Jess gave Kat a not-so-happy look. "Please tell me you weren't about to use foul language in front of Rin."
"uhhhh I wasn't…." she said putting up an innocent face. 'Damn I was caught'
"Yeah, I thought so. No cussing around Rin. We don't want her picking up your habits."
"Well its better my habits then my brain" she snickered lightly to herself earning another glare from Sesshoumaru.
Jess sighed. "True. But still..."
Sesshoumaru looked in between the three girls in the room and continued eating. He felt slightly out numbered. Jess looked over at him for a minute. Then she glomped him out of nowhere, making him almost fall over.
"YES!" Katrina said jumping up and dancing. "I tainted Jeeeeessss" Rin just looked at Katrina and continued eating. The fox Katrina had brought in earlier began to eat Katrina's breakfast.
Jess ignored Kat. "Sesshoumaru, you look like you're feeling a little down. You wanna talk about something?"
Katrina yawned and picked up the fox heading out. "I am gunna go...Do something" she said as she headed out the door with a smile plastered on her face.
Sesshoumaru looked up at her and raised an eyebrow. "Not really."
Jess frowned. "Liar."
"I am not Lying" Sesshoumaru stated.
"Really?"
"Yes" he said kissing her cheek and then getting up.
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely"
"Alright." Jess stood up and started clearing the table.
"Why don't you go with Kat tonight for that...wedding you guys are planning" Sesshoumaru said as he picked up Rin and headed out. Jess nodded and followed Kat.
Katrina sat in a tree with her hair flowing around her with the wind. She was reading a book in which a title no one could read because it was hidden by her leg. Jess sat next to her. "Hi."
"Hey Jess" She said not looking up from her book. "So what are we gunna do about the wedding?"
"Well, we'll need the dresses, for starters."
"I can do that much" She said as she turned the page of the book she was looking at. She pulled her hair behind her ear revealing a book of wedding dress drawings
Jess thought for a minute. "Well, what do weddings usually require?"
"Work" Katrina said with a laugh. Jess giggled.
A grin fell on Katrina's face as she looked around.
Jess scanned the book of dresses, looking for something that she liked.
"Hey Jess, I think I know what I can get Kouga!" she said excitedly.
"What?" Jess asked.
"I can make him a pair of mercury boots!"
"Ooh, nice." Jess turned a page. "Hey, do you think we should wear Feudal kimonos?"
"If you want" she shrugged
Jess turned another page. "I don't know what I want to do."
"Well Blah" Katrina said as she leaned back and yawned.
Jess smiled. "Ooh, I think I just found my dress!" She was looking at a picture of a white Medieval-style dress.
Katrina looked over and blinked. "That's a fairly advanced dress" she said shrugging. "We can alter it till it looks perfect for you" Kat shrugged.
Jess nodded. "Or we could order one just like it. I know a place to get these dresses really cheap."
"If you want. It's your choice. It's your dress" she laid her head down.
Jess shrugged. "You wanna consult the guys?"
"Might be a good idea" she shrugged.
Jess stands up. "I'm gonna go find Sesshoumaru."
Katrina just shrugged.
Jess walked off to find Sesshoumaru.
Jess walked to Sesshoumaru's house. "Hey, Fluffy-sama! Are you home?"
-----A few days later-----
Katrina and Miroku stand over a sleeping Jessica.
"What should we do with her?" Katrina said as she looked to Miroku.
"I Don't Know. Maybe we should take her to the village?" Miroku suggested. Katrina just looked at him with a skeptical look. "Maybe we should wake her up" Katrina said as she kneeled next to Jess and poked her shoulder. Jess just turns over. Katrina blinks, then takes out a marker and starts to draw on Jess's face. Miroku sweat-drops and sighs in defeat. Jess sits up and yawns. Katrina quickly puts away the marker and pokes Jess again. Jess looks around. "Hey Kat. Hey Miroku. Did I fall asleep?"
"Yep..."Katrina said as she stretched. Miroku just looked at the random doodles on Jessica's face.
Jess looked at Miroku. "What are you staring at?" she asked. "Your" He coughed then smiled. "Beautiful face, m'lady" he said bowing and turned around to look for Katrina.
Jess sat there for a moment, confused. "Hey, have you seen Sesshoumaru or Rin lately? "
"Not really. I think I saw him with Sesshoumaru earlier with Inu Yasha" Miroku said as he pulled Katrina out of a tree.
"Sesshoumaru and Inu Yasha were together? That's not good."
"Yeah... They were getting the wedding thing ready" Katrina said as she got Miroku off.
"Huh?" Jess looked at Kat. "You mean they were getting along?"
"How the hell should I know. Inu Yasha Had thrown a punch right after i left" Kat said as she punched Miroku in the face for grabbing her.
"Still, them spending time together is really weird. "
"I guess" Kat flipped Miroku over after he came charging at her backside with his hand.
Jess frowned and thought for a moment. "When's the big day, Kat? I can't seem to remember."
"I think it was...i think it is today" Kat frowned and started thinking also.
Jess blinked. "Holy chalk, it IS today!"
Kat gapped at Jess the Miroku, "Why didn't, OH MY LORDS" Kat scrambled for her bag. "Let's get to the village to change!"
Jess turned and raced towards the village. Kat trailed behind her leaving Miroku alone.
later
Kat grabbed her shoes and tossed a pair to Jess. "Oh wait, Those are mine, Here" Kat held out the shoes in her hand to Jess. Jess traded the shoes as a knock came from the door.
"Yeah!" Both the girls said at the same time.
"Jess, may I speak with you?" came Sesshoumaru's voice.
"You can talk to her, But wait till we find our robes!" Kat dug around for her robe. Jess picked them up and handed Kat hers.
Kat pulled hers over her shoulder and put her shoes in the pockets.
Jess slipped outside past the bamboo mat that served as a door. "What is it?"
Kat stood behind a wall and fixed her hair.
Sesshoumaru reached behind him and ushered a dressed up Ren. "She wanted to come to see you"
"Aww!" Jess knelt down and hugged Rin. "She's so cute! Did you dress yourself, Rin?"
Kagome helped!" She exclaimed with a smile.
Jess returned the smile. "Are you excited for the wedding?"
"Jess is going to be my Mom, And Katrina is going to be family!"
Jess blushed slightly. "Yeah. "
Kat walked out and smiled. "Hey we only have a little bit till it is time for the wedding"
"Alright." Jess kissed Rin's head and stood up. "I love you, Rin."
"Yeah, we love you kid" Kat smiled. Then shooed Sesshoumaru and Rin away. "Come on lets Finnish getting dressed"
"Just give me a minute," Jess said. She hugged Sesshoumaru.
"Okay, Well, hurry up Hun" Kat winked, then disappeared behind the bamboo mat.
Sesshoumaru wrapped his arm around Jess protectively. "You stay safe, I will see you soon"
Jess kissed his cheek. "I will. Love ya."
Sesshoumaru walked after Rin. Jess returned to the hut to finish getting dressed. A dust cloud stopped in front of Jess. "Katrina?"
"You want me to get her for you, Kouga?"
"No, I was just making sure you two are all right" Kouga said as he hopped from one foot to the other and then racing off.
Jess rolled her eyes and entered the hut. "You ready, Kat?" she asked as she slipped on her robe.
"Almost, Just need to put on my shoes"
"Me too." Jess slipped on the small shoes. Kat followed suit and slipped on the light blue shoes.
They both slowly floated up in the air, There was a shock through their body's as the shoes started to glow, The whole world around them seemed to turn into a replay of everything they ever did, Then it stopped. Right at the moment before they came into contact with Kagome and the well. The world then seemed to pause. There was a flash and the girls disappeared from the world around them. There was a fast foreword of the time. It all went foreword as if they never existed. then went black. A bright light shone as they both slowly faded into consciousness sitting in a room full of shoes.
Jess blinked. "We're... back..."
"That was an interesting...timeline..."
Jess nodded. After a moment of silence, the blond spoke again. "Shall we try on another pair of shoes?"
Katrina grinned. The other blonde replied with a laugh. "You know it"
Jess grinned and reached for another pair of shoes.
The End
