Sibling Showdown
(written by lunarJ)
*episode 1*

As the brothers prepare to fight, Miroku is walking with Sango in the same forest. I’m sure you can imagine what he’s after; and he’s already been smacked twice. But they both sense the collision of demonic auras as the brothers clash; and rush to the scene. Sango is about to run forward and call on Inuyasha to be reasonable…but Miroku grabs her arm and points at the air above the brothers. Floating there is a mystical green sphere. Sango says, “What is it?” Miroku says, “I think…I think it’s a plot device.” Sango says, “A what?” Miroku explains, “An event or item used by the author to explain away an incongruent or nonsensical occurrence in the plot.” “Huh?” Sango says. Miroku calls, “Inuyasha, lookout!” Suddenly the sphere explodes and green lightning shoots into both brothers, sending them flying. Sango and Miroku rush to where Inuyasha lays. “Inuyasha!” Sango shouts, “Are you all right?” Inuyasha’s eyes snap open and he glares at her. “Don’t you dare call me by that name.” he says. Miroku asks, “OK, then would you like to be called?” Suddenly, Sesshomaru jumps to his feet and shouts, “What the hell happened!?! Sango, Miroku, what are you doin here?!? What the hell is goin on!?!” Inuyasha stands and looks at Sesshomaru. The brother stare, speechless, for several seconds. Inuyasha’s face takes on a very serious, this isn’t happening look; and Sesshomaru says, “What the HELL!?!” Miroku says, “Sesshomaru, I’ve never thought of you as one to curse so freely.” Inuyasha says, “He’s not Sesshomaru, you twit; I am.” Sesshomaru, the one who looks like Sesshomaru that is, says, “Wait, you’re Sesshomaru?!? How come you look like me?” The one who claims to be Sesshomaru says, “Inuyasha, count to 6.” The other one looks down to his fingers; it is only then that he realizes that he’s missing an arm. He follows the stump up to his shoulder and notices the clothes he’s wearing. “I’m…Sesshomaru?” he says. “Took you long enough to notice.” the one in red says. Miroku says, “This is what I was afraid of. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru have somehow switched bodies.” Sango says, “You knew this was going to happen?” “Well,” the monk says, “not exactly; but something like this.” “I don’t suppose you know how to undo this; NOW!?!” Sesshomaru says. Miroku says, “No, but given time…” Sesshomaru, by which I mean the one in Inuyasha’s body, turns his back on the monk and walks to grab the Tokigin. Inuyasha likewise tries to grab hold of Tetsusaiga; only to be repelled by its barrier. Seeing this, Sesshomaru drops his blade and moves to his brother. Cautiously, he reaches for the sword; it goes right into his hand and transforms into its full size. Inuyasha shouts, “Hey! Give that back.” Sesshomaru says, “I could not; even if I wanted to. There may be an upside to this situation after all.” Abandoning the Tokigin, Sesshomaru walks off leaving the group dazed and amazed.
