---------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
It had been a few days of traveling since the switch had occurred, and Kagome and Inuyasha were beginning to become more accustomed to their new found bodies. They were still in search of a cure for the switch, but things had become easier as time passed.
“Lord Ratashi, I fear I sense a foreboding aura engulfing your shrine here”, Miroku stated, bowing to the humble Lord.
The group knew he was lying through his teeth, but in all honesty, they were craving a roof to sleep under.
“If I may, I’d like to exorcize this demon for you, I only ask that you put my companions and myself up for the night” Miroku asked, still in a bowing position.
The young Lord shook his head violently, wanting nothing more than to get rid of this sudden ‘aura’ that had appeared around his shrine. He himself hadn’t noticed any strange happenings supporting a demon among their village, however he was not one to take chances. He had just recently been entrusted the position of Lord. His father had passed away a few months ago, and he was still trying to gain the trust of the villagers.
“I thank you my good Monk, please feel free to stay in our spare rooms. Dinner will be brought to your rooms by one of our chambermaids. I thank you again for your selflessness. Are you sure you wont accept a more appropriate payment of gold or silver?”
Miroku would only take what he needed. He was a liar but he wasn’t a thief.
“No, you’re far too generous. If we could perhaps retire to our rooms now? I’d like to prepare for the exorcism tomorrow if I may.” Miroku raised his violet eyes to the Lord, challenging him to argue. He was exhausted and just wanted to get some sleep.
The Lord nodded and motioned for one of the guards to show the group to their chambers. They each were brought to their own rooms, Inuyasha(kagome) closest to the main hall followed by Kagome(inuyasha) and Shippo. After that came Miroku and then Sango and Kirara. Both the half demon and the priestess were out like a light. Shippo snoring soundly on a small child sized futon. Ever since the terrible story Kagome had told, he’d be far more reluctant to sleep close to her.
As one by the one the candles were blown out, small gasps could be heard coming from behind a sliding door. Sango was having a terrible nightmare. Visions of her brothers death and Naraku flooded her mind. She had broken out into a cold sweat and tossed from side to side, swatting at the air in an attempt to push away her scary thoughts. She was mumbling loudly cries of resistance, until her sliding door was opened.
Miroku rushed over to her futon and grabbed her by her shoulders. This was something that happened quite a bit so he wasn’t panicked.
“Sango, love, it’s ok you’re having a nightmare” Miroku said, in a soothing voice.
Sango woke up with a start, she frantically looked around, and shoved at Miroku’s chest.
“No! Let me go! I wont”
“Sango, It’s just me”
Her pushes lessened in strength. Focusing in on the violet eyes in front of her. She threw her arms around Miroku and began to sob. Miroku stroked her hair and repeated over and over again,
“I’m here, you’re safe now, nothing will every hurt you in my arms”
Sango nodded into his shoulder as her tears began to soften into hiccups. Miroku rubbed her back in light circles to try and calm her down. She leaned back and smiled tiredly at Miroku. Bringing his hand up, he lightly brushed away a few tears. Sango grabbed his hand to stop him and shyly looked away. She whispered almost inaudibly, “When I was younger, if id ever been hurt, my mother would kiss the pain away”.
Miroku looked confused for a moment, and then smiled warmly, he lowered his head and began to slowly kiss away her tears, his eyes lashes fluttering and his breath tickling her face made her giggle. He pulled away,
“What’s so funny?” He asked.
“N-nothing, it just tickled is all” Said Sango, blushing a bit.
Miroku looked at her mischievously.
“Ticklish huh? Even here?” He began to lightly crawl his fingers down her neck and over her collar bone, she squirmed and giggled again.
Miroku laughed along, enjoying her childlike smile. He decided to see how far he could go with this new game.
“Let’s see if you’re ticklish anywhere else, shall we my sweet?” And before she could reject his proposal, he began to flutter his fingers lightly over her stomach and on her sides. Her giggles became a bit louder, and he continued to move his hand down…down. Unexpectedly, instead of a giggle, Miroku heard a slight gasp emitting from Sango’s throat. He looked up to see her eyes closed, with slightly flushed cheeks. He smiled and continued his ministrations. Sango involuntarily reached up and ran her hands through his hair, pulling out the small pony tail at the nape of his neck. His raven hair fell around his face to his chin. Miroku looked down at his beautiful maiden and was transfixed by her mouth. Her rosy lips were parted slightly revealing a pink tongue. She was painting through them a bit as well, she began to lick them, wetting her lips which had dried due to the heavy breathing. Miroku couldn’t take the temptation and slowly lowered himself towards her face, laying her back down on her bed.
Sango gasped at the feel of someone else’s lips on her own. She opened her eyes to see dark black hair flowing over her cheeks. Half of her wanted to stop him, while the other half wanted nothing more than to stay that way forever.
“Miroku, I” But before she could finish her sentence, Miroku had driven his tongue into her mouth. Never had she felt such a sensation. A slight moan escaped from her chest and she vaguely wondered if it had been heard by Miroku. Of course it had, and it only fueled him to want to hear more. He broke the kiss for a moment, amazed by the look of loss on Sango’s face. He wanted to continue kissing her for hours, give back the warmth she so desperately craved, however his need to give her even more overpowered that. He slowly began to slip his hand into her robe, he expertly began untying here and unbuttoning there, until Sango’s top half was completely bear. He stared down at his lovely prize and wondered vaguely if it was a dream. Then he shook his head and proceeded to show Sango the way to Heaven.
A bird chirped happily in the distance, when Sango’s eyes slowly opened. She felt so warm and so happy. She snuggled down further into her blankets, wanting nothing more than to stay there for the rest of her life. She turned over and faced the object that gave her such warmth. It was Miroku of course, she wasn’t shocked by this. She was slightly embarrassed by how the night had escalated, but was happy as well. She traced her fingers up and down his chest, over his abs, and drew lazy circles around his shoulders. Miroku of course was awake, but knew if he opened his eyes she would stop, and the last thing he wanted was to lose the feeling of his precious gem’s slight fingers grazing his skin sending shivers down his spine. He tightened his grip around her waist and growled, much like inuyasha, hoping she would take it as a clue to keep going.
In a room not far away lay Kagome in Inuyasha’s body. She had heard the noises of the night due to her all too sensitive ears. What she hadn’t counted on was the sensitivity of the male body, however, and was a bit shocked to discover a rock solid appendage pulsing in her lower regions. She knew how a boy would fix it, but was a little wary to take care of it. After all, it wasn’t her body to be ‘fixing’. She turned on her side, threw a blanket over her head, and forced herself to think of something else.
I would willingly go through a natural child birth 5 times if it meant being a girl again.
She sighed into her pillow.
Inuyasha slept peacefully through the entire ordeal, and woke up with nothing but a slightly messy hair-do. Oh the perks of being a human.
<><><>
After a peaceful breakfast of a light stew, Kagome(Inuyasha), Miroku, and Sango set off to investigate a clue as to where one of the sacred jewel shards resided. Inuyasha(Kagome) trailed along behind them, yawning a fang-filled yawn and stretching her arms above her head. Miroku and Sango walked rather closely to each other, and Inuyasha rode Kagome’s bike. He tried desperately to seem like he knew what he was doing, but kept wobbling and falling over. Eventually Kirara offered a ride and Inuyasha decided to kick the bike to the side of the rode.
“That’s not some garbage you can just throw away you know!” Kagome growled angrily, watching as Inuyasha let it fall on its side in the dirt. Shippo, having been in the basket at the time, became caught under the basket and began pulling at the vertical poles, crying to be let out. Kagome rushed over and picked up the bike over her head.
“I’ll carry it, you wasteful creature” And she began to march away, happy for her new found strength. Shippo trailed along behind him, wondering to himself why Inuyasha had saved him. Inuyasha in Kagome’s body looked over at Miroku and Sango, seeing a confused look he’d seen a lot over the past few weeks. He scratched the back of his head nervously and then began to laugh. His small nervous chuckle grew into an alarming guffaw as he raced off towards the bike toting half demon, not wanted to be left to explain what had happened.
When they arrived at the forests edge where the jewel shard was said to reside, Inuyasha’s mind began to feel fuzzy. He could still see through his eyes, but somewhere in the deep recesses of his mind’s eye he could almost see a warmth in the forest to the right. Kagome looked over, recognizing what he was going through.
“Do you sense a shard In…err…Kagome?” She demanded gruffly, in perfect Inuyasha form.
“I think so, to the right…this way” He motioned for them to follow and began to truck through the tangled branches and shrubs. As he got closer the vision became stronger and warmer until finally he was almost blinded by the pink light in his mind. Kagome came up behind him and laid a light clawed hand on his shoulder.
“Take a deep breath and try to focus you’re concentration on muting that blinding light you see. Try to focus on it’s core instead of its surrounding layers.” She whispered into his ear.
Inuyasha followed her instructions, until slowly the vision in his eye began to die down and he could clearly see the actual spot in which the shard resided. He pointed towards a tree, within where he saw the shard emanate.
“Right, it must be in that tree there…Let’s go then” Kagome said, trying to sound like Inuyasha would in this situation. All her efforts were of course in vain when Inuyasha stepped in front of her protectively. It was a funny sight considering she towered over him.
They all stared up into the tree trying to spot the demon. Inuyasha finally became fed up.
This is so stupid, it’d be easier to look if we were actually in the tree…
He ran towards the tree and leapt forward for a branch about 8 feet up, SMACK. He catapulted right into the trunk of the tree and slid down, completely knocked out.
Kagome rolled her eyes and fingered the sword’s hilt nervously, now what would she do without any guidance as to how to use it.
She walked up to the tree, ignoring Sango and Miroku’s fussing over “Kagome”.
I wonder…
She began to lightly touch the trunk from side to side and then dragging a claw along vertically. As she was approaching the bottom she heard a slight creak and a screech from Sango.
“Inuyasha, Look out!”
A huge branch came hurtling towards Kagome and knocked her to the ground, right in the stomach. She was sure she’d died, but then remembered she was much stronger built than before, and got up shaking off the pain. Kagome grabbed for the sword and pulled it out, holding it in front of her towards the tree which had grown a face. It’s eyes gleamed red and its voice was hoarse and hateful. It’s acrid breath drifted towards her sensitive nose as it spoke.
“What are you doing in my forest, urchin”
Kagome covered her nose and willed the tessaiga to transform. When it didn’t she became worried.
“We’re here for you’re jewel shard, lowly demon!” She praised herself for an impression well done, but shouldn’t have let her mind wander. A huge branch once again came crashing down on her.
“Inuyasha! Focus!’ Sango screamed from a few feet away, hand gripping the large boomerang on her back. Miroku stood poised with his staff pointed towards the tree, ready to pounce. Shippo peaked out from behind a still very unconscious “Kagome”.
Oh man, Oh man….Why isn’t it transforming….I don’t get it
Kagome began to sweat nervously and got herself up off the ground once more. Sango, picking up on Inuyasha’s strange behavior, began to attack the tree from the other side. She first shot her boomerang at it which was easily deflected by its branches.
“It seems this demon tree’s branches have become stronger due to the shards powers” Yelled Miroku from behind.
Sango nodded and took out her sword, hoping she might be able to chop through it from a closer angle. She leapt towards an incoming branch and landed on it with a cat-like grace. She grabbed the branch as it flew back towards the tree, and held out her sword to strike. However, as she was coming into the tree, she didn’t account for the other branches moving around her and was struck from behind. A sickening crack was hurt as she fell limply from the branch. Miroku ran forwards and caught her just before she hit the ground. His face was pale, and his eyes were full of concern. Kagome watched in horror as another branch came soaring towards her friends. Without thinking she ran forward and threw herself in its way, holding out the sad excuse for a sword. Time seemed to slow and she stood shaking, holding the piece of scrap metal in front of her willing it to transform. She got her wish, the fang grew in size until its weight became almost unmanageable.
“Miroku, get Sango out of here!”
Miroku nodded, coming out of a trance, and jumped out of the way just in time. Kagome, shielded by the sword, was thrown back a few feet.
Kagome gritted her teeth and tried to focus, She’d been there when Totousai had explained the windscar, and thought it to be quite similar to the focus needed to find a jewel shard. She breathed in deeply and concentrated on what was in front of her.
The demon laughed viciously, excited by its new play things. It had knocked two of its attackers out and hoped to kill the next one.
“Worthless half demon, you will meet your demise, and then I will devour your body for sustenance.”
Kagome shuddered at the thought, but kept her focus. She saw two waves fighting in front of her, pushing each other back and forth for power. She squinted her eyes harder until she thought she could see where they met.
Here goes nothing…
“Hit The Mark!” She yelled, then caught herself…
Wrong battle cry….
“Windscar!!” And with all her might she slashed the sword through the scar in between the winds. A huge rush of power seemed to flow from her body into the sword and a bright light traveled outward towards the tree. She sat panting on one knee, as the light died down. Looking up all she saw was a pile of smoldering wood chips. She smiled tiredly and wiped her brow. Shippo rushed forward and attentively looked through the pile,
“I’ve found it!” He ran the shard over to “Kagome” who was just coming to.
“What happened?” Inuyasha asked, drowsily. Then he noticed the scene before him. Sango lay with her head in Miroku’s lap, but judging by his relieved face, she wasn’t suffering any terminal injuries. Shippo stood proudly in front of him brandishing a tiny pink shard. And lastly, Kagome (or rather himself) stood there, grinning from ear to ear. They made eye contact, and he returned her huge smile and winked. Kagome laughed breathlessly, and put away the tessaiga, rushing over to help Sango mount Kirara, as the adrenaline rush from her first battle slowly left her exhausted but fulfilled.
