Knowing One's Self
“Well um…see what happened was…”Kagome stuttered
“We followed Kagome in to this well.” Sessho finished, “But who are you, and why do you and my brother look some much alike.”
“I could ask you the same thing. You and Sesshoumaru look identical except for the hair.”
“Who's Sesshoumaru?” Sessho frowned
“He's my brother.” Inuyasha frowned back
“Time for introductions.” Rina smiled, “I'm Rina, this is my boyfriend Sessho and his brother Yasha.”
“Yasha! That's my name!” Inuyasha yelled
Inuyasha approached Yasha looking him up and down, while Yasha did the same to him.
“They're from my time Inuyasha.” Kagome explained, “I think they're reincarnations.”
“Reincarnations?” Sessho looked to Rina
“Yeah, Inuyasha has an older brother named Sesshoumaru and there's a little girl that follows him named Rin.”
“Well isn't this something.” Rina giggled, “This could be the inspiration that we need for our next album.”
“Nani?” Sessho and Yasha looked at Rina
“Do we get to meet this Sesshoumaru and Rin?” Sessho smiled
“I don't think that would be possible.” Kagome scratched her head
“Why not?” Rina's face fell
Inuyasha approached Sessho, “I don't think you want to meet him.”
“You make him sound like the kind of person you avoid.” Sessho looked at Inuyasha
“He is.”
The Western Plains
“Lord Sesshoumaru! Lord Sesshoumaru!”
“What is it Rin?”
The precocious girl danced around her lord as if he were a bon fire. Her arms waving in the air like a bird, her feet skipping over the grass lightly. “Where is Lord Jaken?”
Sesshoumaru with his usual mask on looked down at the girl, “I sent him to investigate a scent that I caught earlier.”
“What did it smell like?”
A look of confusion flashed through his eyes, he felt uncomfortable. He had smelled his scent in the wind…but it was different. And he caught Rin's as well, but her scent was different too. It lingered with the smell of ningen, unusual food, and something he couldn't quite put his finger on.
“It smelt… complicated.” He turned quickly and headed toward the campsite with Rin following close behind singing a song that she had made up.
The Village
They sat in a small circle eating rice. Since they'd reached the village there was silence.
“So when are we going back?” Yasha asked
Inuyasha looked to Kagome with shrugging, “Whenever she takes you back, which I hope is soon.”
“You don't like us?” Rina sighed
“It's dangerous here.” Inuyasha sat back, “I doubt Kagome wants to be taking her friends back in pieces.”
The expression that passed through the faces of Yasha, Sessho, and Rin was a mixture of wonder and horror.
“Why is it so dangerous, this is the feudal era right?” Yasha's eyebrow was raised in disbelief
“Yeah it is, and because it's the feudal era you can get you torn to pieces by demons.”
“Demons!!” Rina stood looking at Inuyasha, suddenly everything made since…somewhat. The boy with dog ears and somewhat of a cocky attitude.
“Cool!!” Yasha stood
“Sit down baka, I don't think you know what you're saying.” Sessho grumbled
“Maybe he's more like Sesshoumaru than we think.” Inuyasha scratched his head, “Does he go around killing for no reason?”
“Now stop it Inuyasha.” Kagome glowered, “Sessho is nothing like Sesshoumaru.”
“Who is this Sesshoumaru guy that everyone keeps talking about? Yasha got to meet Inuyasha, but I haven't met my double.”
“Mine either.” Rina pouted
“You don't want to.” Kagome shook her head
“She's a mean little girl?” Rina looked at Kagome quizzically
“I'm talking about Sesshoumaru.”
Jaken peeked out of the bushes turning his head side to side making sure no one was around to spot him.
He slowly waddled his way to the entrance where the group could be seen. Dear Kami, those three look just like Lord Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, and that pest Rin! I must report this to Lord Sesshoumaru at once!
“So you're trying to tell me that this Sesshoumaru guy is an evil demon you goes on killing sprees?” Sessho had an eyebrow cocked and a look of confusion, “And he's utterly emotionless.”
“Well he has to have some kind of emotion to keep a cute and sweet little girl around.” Rina laid her head on Sessho's shoulder
“He's not a child molester is he?” Sessho frowned
Kagome giggled and sighed, “Iie, I believe he treats her as a daughter.”
“But I thought you said that Sesshoumaru guy hates humans.”
“Yeah…I know…it's weird.” Kagome scratched her head
“Well, we need to get you back home before he decides to investigate. No doubt he's caught your scent by now.” Inuyasha stood and walked toward the door
“Our scent?” Yasha scratched his head
“He's a inu youkai.” Kagome explained
“He's a dog demon! We're the Mad Dogs, it's freaky you know.” Rina laughed
“Mad Dogs?” Inuyasha's ears twitched
“Yeah, that's the name of our band.” Yasha stretched
“Band? Now I'm really confused.” Inuyasha let out a sigh
“We're a punk rock band from America.” Yasha explained
“Punk rock? America?” Inuyasha began to run his hands through his hair
“It's a kind of music and America is another country in my time.” Kagome nodded
“Oh.”
As if on queue, Miroku and Sango arrived accompanied by the all too cute kitsune Shippo, and cat demon Kilala.
“What the…” Now it was Miroku's turn to scratch his head wondering if he was seeing double…with strange hair.
“Who are they?” Sango pointed to the guest while Shippo and Kilala stood behind her in wonder.
“I think they are the reincarnations of Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, and the little girl Rin.” Kagome shrugged
“And he looks just like Takeshi.” Rin pointed at Miroku
“And she looks like his girlfriend Naru.” Sessho motioned to Sango
“Ok, now this is really getting weird.” Kagome put her hand to her forehead.
Jaken approached Sesshoumaru in a frantic matter.
“Lord Sesshoumaru! There are imposters in the Village of Inuyasha”
“Imposters?”
“Hai, they look like you, your brother, and Rin.”
Sesshoumaru turned to his servant, “Then I shall kill these imposters.”
“I don't think Inuyasha would allow that, they seem to be quite friendly.”
Sesshoumaru walked passed his servant nonchalantly. Maybe it's possible that they are reincarnations.
“Rin, come.”
“Where are we going my Lord?”
“To see Inuyasha.”
Back at the Village
“In the morning we will escort you back.” Sango passed as bowl of rice to Yasha
“Too bad we couldn't meet that Sesshoumaru guy.” Yasha sighed
“I know, but hey what the hell anyway.” Sessho shrugged and pulled a sleepy Rina to him.
“I want to look at the night sky of the feudal era Sessho.” Rina yawned, “I bet it's much prettier than our night sky.”
Sessho nodded and stood taking Rina by the hand. Walking out Sessho clashed with a hard chest and fell down almost taking Rina with him. Rina looked up into a handsome face with a blue crescent moon on his forehead and stripes on his cheeks. His features greatly resembled Sessho and then it all came to her.
“You must be Sesshoumaru.” She smiled, “Hi I'm Rina.”
A/N: Sorry if this chapter wasn't as interesting or long as it should be. I've hit some hardcore writers block and it might be a while before I update again. But it would help me quite a bit if you gave me some advice.
