Chapter 4
Kagome met up with Inuyasha who was walking slowly through the village.
"I couldn't manage to make myself tell them for some reason" Kagome said looking down at her bare feet.
Inuyasha really needs a pair of shoes. Kagome thought.
"Yeah me either" Inuyasha replied.
"Oh, Inuyasha how do you deal with all of these smells? There's too many. I'm very confused."
"Ha, well, I'm just used to it" he said in a prideful tone.
"It must be weird for you to not smell a whole lot" Kagome said.
"Yeah. But I do turn into a mortal during the new moon remember? So it's not totally new."
"Oh yeah that's right."
"Just minus a few things" he said quietly looking down at his chest.
How do girls deal with this? I just want to rip this bra to shreds. I feel like it's suffocating them. Inuyasha thought.
Kagome laughed. "Well this is all very new to me. I've never had demon blood pulsing through my veins, or dog ears or silver hair or claws" she said examining the body.
Inuyasha smiled.
"I feel as if I have so much energy. I just want to run around! And now that I'm you..." Kagome took off speeding through the village into the forest.
"Hey! Wait!" Inuyasha laughed.
"What's the matter am I too fast for you?" Kagome mimicked Inuyasha.
"No!" Inuyasha tried to run but running was a lot harder in Kagome's body.
"You see why I use my bike?" Kagome laughed.
"HMPH. I'm not using that stupid thing!"
"Haha suit yourself!" she said looking up at the trees.
She launched herself onto a nearby tree branch.
"Haha this is cool!" she exclaimed.
Inuyasha smiled as he watched her jump from branch to branch.
"You know Kagome, you better be careful cause it takes some serious skill to jump around like that" he crossed his arms.
"Oh, hush look at me! I almost to the top!"
"You know when I was first learning how to jump like that I fell a couple of times..."
"Did you just admit that you have made mistakes before? I'm, impressed!" She said launching unto another branch.
"Grr... Whatever. All I'm saying is that you might fall since you're not used to jumping that high!"
"I almost there I think I'm going to do it!"
"Kagome..."
Kagome pushed off the last branch with all of her might (well Inuyasha's might) and landed on top of the tree.
"Haha! Look I did it Inuyasha! On the first try!"
"Hmph. Whatever" Inuyasha shook his head.
"Wow everything looks so cool from up here! Why don't you do this more often?" Kagome said looking at the horizon.
"Well most of the time I'm pretty occupied doing other things."
"I wish I could stay up here all the time."
"Well you better come down now. We need to figure out how to switch back" Inuyasha said.
"What? You don't like my body?" Kagome teased.
"Ur.. Um, well I just don't like being girl that's all. It's a drastic change from being half demon. Besides I don't like feeling wimpy"
"Hey! I'm not wimpy. I'm pretty strong if you ask me!" Kagome exclaimed.
"Ha. Are you now?" Inuyasha was amused.
"Mhm!" Kagome crossed her arms. The ears on her head started to move.
"Umm Inuyasha...?"
"Yes?"
"Why won't these ears stop moving?" Kagome said trying to hold them down.
"They sense something" Inuyasha said.
"Ehhh... What is it? I don't see anything."
"Hey uh... Kagome, what's that on the back of your neck?"
"The back of my..." Kagome felt something crawling.
"I.N.U.Y.A.S.H.A." She was trembling.
"What?"
"GET IT OFF MEEEEE!"
"What is it?"
Kagome screamed.
"I can't help you if you're up there" Inuyasha replied.
"Get it off! Get it off! Get. It. OFF!" she said shaking around.
"Ha, what's wrong Kagome? Are you scared?" he teased.
She began jumping wildly down branch to branch.
"Kagome slow down you might..."
Kagome lost her balance on the branch and began to fall. "Inuyasha!"
Crash.
Inuyasha came running over to his body which was twitching.
"Kagome are you alright?"
Sigh.
"What was on you?"
"A... spider" she said hesitantly.
"Ha! What? You mean to tell me after all the demons and dead bodies you've seen, you're scared of a little spider? Oh, give me a break" Inuyasha rolled his big brown eyes.
She shot up. "It was a really big and hairy spider okay? Imagine having that crawl up your neck!"
"I thought you said you weren't wimpy" he smiled.
"Grr! Inuyasha SIT!"
Inuyasha braced himself for the fall, but instead Kagome went down with a forceful thud.
"Haha! That's one good thing about being in your body, Kagome. That won't work on me." he smiled smugly.
Kagome laid still.
"Ugh, fine. I guess I'll help you up" Inuyasha held his girly arm out.
Kagome grabbed on but yanked Inuyasha down with her.
"HEY!"
Kagome giggled. The two were now laying side by side in the soft grass.
"This is nice. Just lying here, and not worrying" Kagome smiled.
Inuyasha felt his face to get a little red. "Yeah, I guess."
Inuyasha and Kagome were now looking into each other's eyes.
"Inuyasha?" she asked quietly.
"Yeah? What's the matter?"
"I just wanted to say that I'm..."
"Inuyasha! Kagome!" Shippo ran towards them.
The two sprung up from the grass, embarrassed.
"Um, did I interrupt something?"
They blushed and shook their heads no.
"We all have been looking for you two! Kagome, Sango wants you, she's in the village. And Inuyasha, follow me, Miroku needs to see you"
The two stood. Kagome began to head toward the village and Inuyasha began to follow Shippo.
"Um you guys, did you not hear me correctly? Inuyasha you're supposed to be following me and Kagome you're supposed to go see Sango in the village!"
The two had forgotten they were in different bodies.
Geez, they really are dummies. Something must've happened. Shippo thought.
