Summary: What will Kagome and Sesshomaru do when they find out they have switched bodies? Heck what will everyone do when they find out???
Chapter 1: The Switch
Kagome groaned as she pushed herself off the ground, shielding her eyes from the first rays of the sun. She scanned around the clearing, and remembered what happened the day before. The group were just getting ready for camp, but suddenly a snake youkai with two heads, appeared out of the bushes.
"The ssssshhhiikkkooonnn ssshharrrdsss!" it hissed. "Give it to me!"
Inuyasha grabbed the hilt of Tessaiga, "In your dreams!"
It attacked him, but he easily leaped out of the way. When it turned towards him Sango, attacked it throwing her hiraikotsu and hitting its head wounding it. It turned towards her only to be attacked by Miroku on the other side and soon the three were attacking it simultaneously. Kagome was behind them holding Shippo protectively in her hands, but when she noticed that the youkai wasn't going down and every hit it took it became fiercer, she gently placed the kit on the ground, 'I won't stand by and watch this!' and she ran for her bows and arrows which was currently across the battle field. But alas, before she knew it she went flying across the field with the youkai's tail hitting her hard. Kagome smashed onto a tree, her back and head making hard contact onto the bark.
"Agh---" she groaned as she slid back on the forest floor.
Her eyes fluttered and slowly she was being engulfed in darkness, but before she went unconscious a streak of silver and white flashed before her eyes and the next thing she knew Inuyasha was hollering like crazy shouting Sesshomaru's name angrily. And now that she woke up, she was surprised being alone considering her injury. 'Baka Inuyasha----leaving me here alone!' She got up fuming, but her legs gave way and she fell on her bottom.
"Owww---" she groaned massaging her behind.
'Huh?' all of a sudden she stopped, feeling long fingernails scratching across her back and what seemed to be a long silvery streak of---hair? 'Matte---I never knew I had this long and silky hair---and silver?' That's when it hit her, she tugged along the hair and found it had hurt, so she raised her hand over to her face and her eyes popped wide open.
"NNNNNNNNNAAAANNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIII?" she screamed.
Across the clearing Inuyasha laid Kagome on her sleeping bag, fretting over her. She still hadn't woken since she was knocked out and it was already a day after the battle with the snake youkai.
"Oi, Sango, are you sure Kagome is okay?" Inuyasha asked impatiently, "She had been asleep for a long time now!"
Sango glared at him, "I already told you that her injury was not that serious, perhaps she just needed some well deserved rest. After all we had been hunting shikon shards non-stop."
Miroku scratched his chin thoughtfully, "Right Inuyasha, we are ningen after all."
"Feh." Was all he said and hid his hands in his firerat haori. "Whatever. I just wish that she wakes up so we could----"
Before he had the chance to continue what he was going to say Shippo happily jumped towards Kagome as she rose from the sleeping bag. She looked at Shippo icily and glared around the small group that was surrounding her especially at Inuyasha.
"Finally you're awake!" Inuyasha exclaimed sighing in relief. "We were worr----"
He was cut off by her icy voice, "What are you doing here hanyou?"
Everyone's eyes popped wide open, especially Inuyasha whose ear twitched at her words. Miroku coughed to avert their attention.
"Kagome-sama----are you sure you are alright? Perhaps you need some more time to----"
"NNNAAAANNNIIIII?" Sesshomaru's voice echoed shaking the whole forest.
The gang looked towards where the voice echoed, Inuyasha growling in irritation.
"Sesshomaru." He growled holding the hilt of Tessaiga.
Inuyasha leaped away into the forest following his brother's scent, although he wondered why he screamed. 'Not very much like him.' Miroku ran after him and Sango helped the still dazed Kagome onto Kirara, with Shippo cuddling himself to her.
"Taijiki I do not need to----" Kagome was about to protest but Kirara leaped away and she found herself grasping tightly onto Sango's waist.
"Nani, Kagome-chan?" Sango looked over her shoulder not hearing what she said.
But she didn't answer anymore.
"SESSHOMARU!" Inuyasha yelled leaping out of the bushes and drawing Tessaiga out, "What the hell have you done to----Ka-----gome?"
He paused his mouth falling wide open as he saw Sesshomaru sitting on his ankles, his face buried in his palms and he was---sobbing. Then he suddenly stopped sensing Inuyasha was there. Sesshomaru glanced over to him, his golden orbs still overflowing with tears.
"Inuyasha, daijobuka?" Miroku came out of the bushes as well and found Inuyasha just staring towards his half-brother across the clearing.
Sesshomaru stood hastily and ran towards the already awed hanyou, his Tessaiga fell from his hand and the shocked houshi whose mouth was wider than his friend.
"INUYASHA!" Sesshomaru cried as he embraced him suddenly. "INUYASHA!"
At that moment Sango and Kagome just emerged from the bushes.
"Miroku-sama, Inuyasha what----" Sango stopped for a moment and stared with a doubt the scene unfolding in front of her. "---I think I'm going to go back to the camp and knock myself out."
There in front of them was Sesshomaru hugging Inuyasha, whom in return was pushing him away shocked and already ready to puke, Miroku who was still wishing he was dreaming and Sango who has tried not to faint.
"Okaa-sama, what do you think is happening?" Shippo looked towards his adoptive mother, "Okaa-sama?"
Kagome was gritting her teeth and she jumped down from Kirara, Shippo falling on the ground. She stormed towards the two brothers and pried them off each other.
"Do not disgrace this Sesshomaru." She muttered.
All of them looked towards her. Silence. Sesshomaru whom until now was still holding tightly at Inuyasha's shoulder fainted.
Kaede stared at the group for quite sometime, looking back and forth from Kagome's icy glare and Sesshomaru's teary eyes. She then set her eyes towards Inuyasha who just shrugged looking just as confuse as she is. Shippo was at Sango's shoulder not knowing whose arms to go to, while Miroku and Sango just took deep breaths to ease the uneasiness they were feeling.
"So, ye'tell me that ye, Sesshomaru-sama is really our Kagome---" she glanced towards him and then to Kagome, "---and you Kagome are Sesshomaru-sama?"
The two nodded. Kaede shifted towards the small fire.
"Kami, what happened?" Kaede asked curiously still eyeing the two.
"That's what we'd like to know old bag!" Inuyasha shouted getting up from his sitting. "What the freaking hell is happening?"
"Sush Inuyasha, you don't need to be so impolite." Miroku tried to calm him down. "Kaede-sama must be confused as all of us are."
"Feh." Inuyasha mumbled as he looked back at Kagome and Sesshomaru. "Hmph, if I had known better I bet it was your doing!" He pointed towards Sesshomaru whose delicate brows rose.
"I have nothing to do with it Inuyasha! Stop blaming me!" Sesshomaru retorted, his voice choking.
"You would very well keep that mouth of your in check, this Sesshomaru won't allow any insults especially from a hanyou." Kagome spoke up beside Sesshomaru.
Inuyasha groaned, forgetting that it was Kagome who was in Sesshomaru's body and him in hers. He scratched his head with a confused look and turned away.
"Feh, whatever!" he slumped back once again on the wooden floor.
"Kaede-sama, do you know of any way that could get them back to normal?" Sango cut in the silence.
"Iie, m'child. I don't know of any way, demo----" Kaede answered stirring the stew she had over the fire, "----I will try m'best to find out. The best ye all could do would be to stick together." She eyed Kagome and Sesshomaru looking for approval to her suggestion.
"NANI?" Inuyasha growled protesting. "I won't travel with that bastard!"
Kagome's brow raised, "This Sesshomaru wouldn't stay with this hanyou and his crew… demo I don't have a choice."
"I guess that would be the best thing to do." Sesshomaru answered smiling, "It would be best to stay together for a while I think."
The two threw a glare at Inuyasha that sent him shrinking to the floor while Sango, Miroku and Shippo's eyes widened, 'It'll take a while to get used to this.' They all looked at each other with horror reflected in their eyes.
