plChapter 14

"Inuyasha?" asked Kagome her eyes widening at the sight of him.

Everyone gave a slight glance to Kagome and then back to Inuyasha.

"Do you know him Kagome?" asked Sasuke not taking his eyes off of Inuyasha.

Kagome didn't answer she just pushed through everyone, taking in his usual attire. Dressed in his red fire rat kimono, prayer beads around his neck, clawed hands resting at his sides. Kagome looked up at his face and then glanced at the top of his head where is two small dog-like ears rested followed by long streams of silver hair which framed his golden eyes.

Kagome locked her eyes with his as she came to stop in front of him, the squad behind her watching him for any hostility as Kagome raised her hand to the prayer beads, fingering them thoughtfully, Inuyasha watching every move she made.

Kagome then moved her hand from the prayer beads sliding it up his neck and to cup his cheek with her hand.

"Is this really you? Inuyasha?" asked Kagome

Inuyasha reached up and covered Kagome's hand with his own, has she searched his eyes for something she wasn't even aware of.

"I missed you" she whispered

"I've missed you too…" he whispered softly "Kagome!" he finished harshly in a voice that wasn't his own, his hand tightening over hers, causing Kagome to give out a little gasp of surprise, his sharp fangs glinting dangerously has his eye's looked at her menacingly.

The squad behind her tensed at his harsh voice, which sounded very familiar to them as they saw Kagome's body frozen from shock. Sasuke narrowed his eyes as the scene began to unfold in front of his eyes.

"This isn't Inuyasha" Kagome thought frantically, and then she heard Naruto's voice which sounded distant in her mind.

"Where have I heard that voice before?" Naruto asked thoughtfully to himself.

"It's Orochimaru, dobe" Sasuke answered harshly

"Teme…" began Naruto but was cut off by Kakashi

"Both of you stop it, now!" he demanded sternly

The squad turned there attention back to the situation at hand.

"Am so glad you can recognise me in another's body, Sasuke-kun" hissed Inuyasha-Orochimaru's voice very clear "How have you been since you left?"

(A/n: If you haven't figured it out yet, Orochimaru is in Inuyasha's body and I will now be referring to him as Orochimaru from now on.)

Hearing him speak brought Kagome out of her thoughts, has the pressure to her hand began to numb. She pushed her hand back causing it to loosen the grip Orochimaru had on her own hand. At the same time Kagome used the palm of her free hand to push his chin up, so he wasn't able to see what as happening. Kagome then leaned in slowly and swiped his legs from behind him catching him off guard, has he fell to the floor roughly.

Kagome jumped back a few paces has she glanced slightly at the squad behind her taking in their shocked and surprised faces.

'Well this is interesting, Naraku didn't mention she was a fighter, I'll have to be more on guard while facing her.' Thought Orochimaru

'Girls got some moves' Jiraiya thought as he grinned to himself taking in Kagome's behind.

Sasuke glared at Jiraiya but intensified when he looked at Orochimaru. Sasuke grabbed Kagome's arm and pulled her behind him and his team mates.

"Oho, Sasuke-kun, you seem very protective of you're…" Orochimaru paused for a moment as a sicken grin appeared on his face "Cousin?"

Sasuke just glared in response, while Orochimaru just smiled fangs glinting in the afternoon sun, before looking back at Kagome, as she tried to continuously push her way through the squad to the front, but was pulled back by Sasuke and behind him, out of Orochimaru's view, causing Kagome to give an annoyed whine, so instead she observed what was happening. Kagome noticed the Konoha nins tense form and by the way Shikamaru's eye's were darting around here and there and then back to Orochimaru, he was trying to figure out a plan of escape. She also noticed how calm Orochimaru was, his form relaxed but ready to fight showed his confidence in the situation. Kagome saw Orochimaru glance at Jiraiya before speaking.

"Long time no see Jiraiya"

Jiraiya didn't answer.

'I wonder what their reactions would be to the attacks this body can produce?' thought Orochimaru sadistically as he began to build up the demon energy into his clawed hands and that's when Kagome felt that familiar prickle in the back of her head and seconds later her mind put together what was about to happen.

Orochimaru started towards them.

"Iron reaper soul…" began Orochimaru

Kagome's mind began to panic as she tried to push past everyone just to be pushed back behind Sasuke for protection, Orochimaru still coming close.

'Oh no, there all going to get hurt, what can I do?' Her panic mind going overload 'I can't purify him in case Inuyasha still lives in that body as well, wait a minute…' she thought her racing mind halting in an idea.

"Sit!" Kagome shouted at the top of her lungs.

Orochimaru was pulled down to the ground roughly, face planted in the dirt.

The whole of Kakashi's team blinked in surprise, before Naruto's full blown laughter was heard echoing around the clearing, a smirk graced Kakashi's and Sasuke's face as a small giggle came from Sakura, while Shikamaru turned his head to the side, the corners of his lips turning slightly.

Kagome seeing everyone was distracted by the sight of Orochimaru, quickly ran to the front of everyone, pulling out a thin piece of writing with an inscription on it, she quickly threw it at Orochimaru, landing on his head.

Kagome clasped her hands together, her thumb and first fingers stood up against each other as she began to chant, eyes closed in concentration.

These actions quickly caught the squads attention as they watched her, pink energy surrounding her hands as she continued to chant.

Orochimaru attempted to get up, but soon found he wasn't able to move so he began to struggle to get up but still couldn't move from his face planted form.

"By now am sure you've noticed that you are unable to move your body." Stated Kagome eyes still closed I concentration

Kagome heard a small annoyed growl come from him, and almost laughed. Kagome opened her eyes and lowered her arms to her side.

She turned to look at Kakashi.

"He will be frozen for at least 12 hours, so we better get a move on!" she explained

Kakashi just nodded and decided he would question her later.

"Can you keep up on your own?" asked Kakashi.

"Not now that I've used that much energy to subdue him" she explained

Kakashi nodded.

"Here I'll…" he began but was interrupted by Sasuke who walked in front of Kagome and said,

"Get on my back"

Kagome starred at him for a moment before nodding and climbing on his back, she was too out of energy to argue with him.
