I don’t own Inuyasha
A/N: I’m basically on bed rest with the stomach flu, so I just keep writing these chapters! Which I guess isn’t all bad, I don’t really enjoy my new diet of saltine crackers and ginger ale. Oh well, that’s how it goes I s’pose. Thanks for the reviews, you guys are sick awesome. ON WARD!
Chapter 4:
Sango crept slowly through the pine needles and dirt. She clutched the strap of her boomerang, which was basically the only coverage she had. She heard a rustling in a bush to her left, swung back, and hurled her
“Buddha have mercy! That hurt like a MOTHER!” Miroku tumbled out from behind the bush, followed closely behind by Inuyasha(Kagome). Sango shrieked, hoisted her weapon off the ground and held it in front of her body like a very very stiff toga. Kagome(Inuyasha) came pushing through the branches next, when his eyes fell upon the 2 “men” on the ground. They all stared at her, waiting for her response. Inuyasha just stood there staring back.
What are they starin’ at….
He caught the eye of Kagome, and noted how she was contorting his face, her golden eyes were bulging out of his former head. She was pointing a clawed finger at him and her mouth was opening and closing whispering inaudible things. All of the sudden she screwed shut her eyes, took a deep breath, and SCREECHED in a way no one expect Inuyasha’s vocal cords could.
Inuyasha looked down and saw 2 very alert breasts standing at attention. He quickly realized, cursing himself for forgetting about his new body, and clasped his hands over them for modesty.
“DON’T TOUCH THEM YOU PERVERT!” Screamed Inuyasha(Kagome), jumping up from her spot next to Miroku. Everyone turned to who they thought was Inuyasha.
“I’m sorry! I dont know what else to do!!! It's not like i brought a towel!” Yelled Kagome(Inuyasha), “Besides" Said Inuyasha, smirking, "It's not like theyre anything to write home about". The scowl on "Kagome's" face was evidence enough to prove he had just hit a nerve.
“FINE! Take your stupid red jacket thing! How about next time you bathe with a towel on, instead of flailing around all my girly bits like it's your job!!” Kagome screeched.
“What…are you talking about…” Sango and Miroku asked, looking at the scene in front of them like they were dealing with nut jobs. However they didn’t get to further the issue, because a large gust of wind came shooting through the trees at that very moment.
Inuyasha’s hands were suddenly being caressed by a certain wolf demon. Koga gazed deeply into Kagome’s grey/blue eyes.
“How I’ve missed feeling the softness of your delicate hands, my love.” Koga huskily whispered in her ear.
Inuyasha was absolutely writhing inside. He felt like he wanted to crawl out of his…or rather Kagome’s….skin.
“Let go of me fleabag!” Inuyasha pulled away his hands and tucked them into his red makeshift cover up, which he’d tied snugly around Kagome’s tiny waist.
Koga stood shocked, but not as shocked as he was when who he thought was Inuyasha, ran towards them pleading,
“Oh please don’t say that, I would never say that! You know I would never say that!” Kagome pleaded with Koga.
To everyone else it looked as though Inuyasha had taken a but of a "liking" to Koga. Koga’s eye began to twitch in confusion.
“What did you just…” Koga’s face broke into a realization. “You dare to mock the lord of the wolf demon tribe!? I’ll kick your ass you scrawny mutt!”
Kagome threw up her arms to cover her head and crouched down in fear. Inuyasha grabbed Koga by the shoulder and whirled him around.
“I swear to God you vermin, if you lay one hand on Kagome’s head I’ll neuter you!”
Once again, silence filled the woods. Miroku and Sango were sure they had just seen Inuyasha cowering in fear and Kagome threatening to take Koga’s manhood. Interesting…
“Please don’t hurt me, I’m defenseless, I wasn’t mocking you either!” Kagome mumbled into her red pants.
Inuyasha suddenly caught on to how this must look and said in a monotone voice,
“Inuyasha, if I could have a quick word…” And began the tug Kagomes white hair towards a clearing a bit away.
“What are you doing, you’re making me look weak!” Inuyasha scolded.
“What do you expect me to do! I can barely figure out how to climb a tree as quickly as you can, How am I supposed to master the tessaiga in 2 minutes!” Kagome shout/whispered back, throwing her hands in the air.
“You better think of something quickly or I swear, You’re making me look like some defenseless woman!” Inuyasha yelled.
Kagome’s face flickered anger, and then slowly her eyes began to fill with tears and her lower lip began to tremble.
“Fine, I’m sorry, happy? you know I didn’t mean to make you cry. And maybe ill admit it's easier said than done.” Inuyasha took Kagome into his arms. They shifter around a bit due to the weird height difference, Kagome attempted to crouch down to lay her head on his chest and Inuyasha attempted to stand on his tiptoes.
“Well, don’t I feel better” Kagome declared sarcastically, after breaking out of the awkward hug.
They both marched out of the woods, determination in their eyes.
“Back for some ass kicking there dogboy?” Koga eyed him.
“You bet…uh….wench!” Inuyasha smacked her upside the head, “I mean flea…head!”. She turned to see Inuyasha smacking his head against a tree.
“Heh…heh..” Kagome nervously approached Koga who after a few more minutes of “harsh” name called, eventually came at her with such speed she never saw him coming.
“Iron…reaver….is it reaver or weaver?…reaper?..OUCH! oh my head” Kagome sat after being thrown into a tree for the 4th time. Koga kept noting his weak stature that day, but continued fighting anyway. As he came in for a drop kick, he noticed Kagome had positioned herself in front of Inuyasha, and she was...growling?
“What’s the big idea Kagome? Why protect the dirty half-breed, he aint protecting himself!” Koga landed a few feet in front of the two.
“Koga, cant you see he’s not fit to fight right now? Go home! Get out of here! SHOO!”
“But Kagome…You….I love you..” Koga said
“I don’t care Koga! I told you to-”
“hushed tones, Inuyasha, hushed tones” Kagome exclaimed from behind him, still sitting against the tree rubbing her white-haired head.
Oh man..i forgot, I'm supposed to be Kagome. What would she do in this situation...
Inuyasha set his jaw and prepared to act as Kagome would.
"I'm so glad you care for me..." Inuyasha clenched his fists behind his back.
"What i mean to say, is that I do hope you.." Inuyasha looked back at Kagome, his eyes were pleading with her, this was torturous.
“I understand my love! You need more time to decide! I respect that, I shall leave and return in a few days. Until then, you better protect my woman you mutt!” And with one last kiss on the hand, he was gone.
Inuyasha sighed and his entire body relaxed. Luckily, Koga had a huge ego.
Back at the camp, Inuyasha was furiously washing his small hands in a bucket of warm water. Kagome came up to him and put her clawed hand on his shoulder. He turned around.
“What do you want now?” He said gruffly.
“I just wanted to thank you for protecting me today. Even in this condition you still continue to save me. I’m sorry for being a bother” Kagome lowered her head, white hair cascading around her face.
Inuyasha turned around and sighed.
"I promised I'd protect you until the last shard was found, you're an important part of the team. How else would we be able to find the jewel?"
Kagome flinched, she might as well have been wearing a 'Jewel Detector' T-shirt. She forced a smile and turned to go to bed.
Inuyasha looked at her oddly, and then retreated towards Kagome's sleeping bag.
As he slipped off her brown moccasins and slipped into the puffy sleeping bag Kagome always used, he was surrounded by the scent of her perfume. Even as a human he couldnt miss that mix of rainwater and lavender. He was just dozing off, entoxicated by the scent, when he felt a small tugging on his shirt.
"Kagome, I had a bad dream" Shippo sniffed besides Inuyashas pillow.
Inuyasha waved his hand, as if there was an annoying fly buzzing around, and turned on his side.
"Kagome? Did you hear me?" Shippo asked, climbing over "Kagome's" shoulder.
"Yeah yeah, i heard you. Stop cryin' and be a man about it." Inuyasha said, half asleep.
Shippo stood, sniffling at a loss as to what to do. He decided Kagome must have been dreaming, and so proceded to climb into the sleeping bag with her.
"Get off me runt, what do i look like? I'm tryin' to sleep here" Inuyasha plucked Shippo up by his tail, and tossed him a few feet away, returning to his postion on his side.
"But Kagome, I can't sleep, I wanna sleep with youuuu" Shippo whined, confused about the events unfolding.
Inuyasha groaned into the pillow, He sat up and looked at Shippo,
"Why dont you go wake up Sango, cause i aint spending my time talkin' to you bout your problems when i could be sleeping"
Shippo's eyes whelled up with fresh tears.
"What? You always talk to me when ive had a scary dream!" Shippo blubbered.
Inuyasha, afraid Shippo would wake the others, decided for the second time today, to give being Kagome a try.
"Fine, what do i need to do to make you shut up" Inuyasha asked, in an ironically kind voice.
Shippo, unsure as to why Kagome was being to rough, but happy to have some form of comfort smiled brightly.
"Well how about you tell me a story!"
Inuyasha thought a bit.
Story...story...hmmm
"Ok,
i got one runt" Inuyasha said proudly.
"There was once a Half demon. The Half-demon wanted to be a full demon. So he stole a sacred jewel to become a Demon. He became one and was really powerful and musclar. He killed everyone in the world who was annnoying. He cut off Naraku's head and drank his blood. He chopped up his body and burned the peices. He killed his older annoying brother and made him into stew. He was the ruler of the entire world. The End"
Inuyasha threw his head back down onto the pillow triumphantly. He then nodded off into slumberland.
Shippo laid next to him, eyes bulging out of his head, pale as a ghost.

What to look forward to in Chapter5:
A slightly citrusy bit with Miroku and Sango. A lemon but not detailed enough to call for a higher rating, just thought id warn.
Perhaps a visit to the future for our befuddled couple? That should be interesting...
Thanks for stopping by
