Ch 14

~*Kagome's subconscious*~

Inuyasha was pouting, and Kagome tried to comfort him, "Inuyasha, having SesshouMaru around isn't to piss you off. It's because we need help in defeating Naraku."

"Feh. Yeah right! And I bet you're going to say that you trust him NOT to kill us!"

"Well," Kagome hesitated, "I do trust him not to kill us in our sleep."

"WHAT?! How stupid are you?! He only wants Tetseiga."

"Inuyasha, I told you that I would keep him from getting the sword, and I will. Ok?"

"Fine." Inuyasha sulked for a bit, then looked at her, "But, can I come out this morning?"

"Huh?"

Inuyasha sighed, "You know, have control of the body. At least to wash. I don't like that damned fox being around, and I figured that if *I* were out, he wouldn't want to look. Unless………" Inuyasha trailed off, then shuddered.

"Sure." Kagome said, sweat dropping.

~*outside her head*~

Inuyasha (he looks like a guy version of Kagome with dog ears) stood up and looked around. SesshouMaru had yet to return, and the others appeared to still be sleeping. He looked down, 'Yuck, I'm wearing a skirt!'

~What's wrong with a skirt?!~ Kagome asked, from inside the henyou's head. (………if you're confused, don't hesitate to ask………)

'I'm a guy! Besides, I want to fine something a lot more comfortable. I feel so naked.' Inuyasha made one more check to be sure that everyone else was sleeping, and ran off.

Yoko cracked an eye open, 'So, the henyou is in charge of the body today?' He smirked and closed his eye, pretending to be asleep, 'This should prove to be quit fun………'

~*~*~*~

Inuyasha was running towards Keade's village, and seemed to be looking for something. ~Where are we going, Inuyasha?~

'Feh, I'm getting out of this damned skirt. How can you wear this thing?!' Inuyasha stopped in front of a tree that was right behind the well. "Here it is."

~What?~ Kagome asked as Inuyasha jumped into the tree.

'A spare set of cloths.' Inuyasha said as he reached into hallow spot of the tree, and pulled out a set of the fire-rat outfit he usually wears. (I forgot what they're called.) 'I figured it was good to have these, incase my cloths got too bloody or ripped up in battle.'

~Wow. I never would've expected you to think about something like that. By the way, you should bath first.~

Inuyasha ignored that first comment, and started towards a lake.

~*~*~*~

Yoko had waited until he could smell Inuyasha again. (Since Inu is in control of Kagome's body, it smells like him, not her.) 'Hmm, he's bathing.' Yoko got an evil grin, 'I think that now is an opportune time for me to have some fun.' The fox got up, and walked to the spring.

When Yoko got there, he saw Inuyasha washing himself in the water. He smirked, and started to remove his cloths, making enough noise to get Inuyasha's attention. (Don't worry, this won't be lemon, or yaoi, or anything like that.)

When Inuyasha saw the thief, his eyes became the size of Frisbees. "W-what are you doing?!" and Kagome was thinking the exact same thing.

Yoko smirked, and got into the water, "Just bathing." he said as he got closer to Inuyasha, who was backing up. "I won't bite……..maybe." On the outside, Yoko seemed serious, but on the inside he was trying with all of his might not to burst out laughing at the look on Inuyasha's face.

Inuyasha growled as he backed into a wall, "BACK OFF!" At this point in time Kagome fainted. He swiped at Yoko, who dodged. Seeing that the fox was ignoring his warnings, Inuyasha lunged at him. Yoko jumped up high enough to force Inuyasha, who is going to fast to stop, to go underneath him. He landed when Inuyasha turned to face him, and started to stalk towards the dog. Inuyasha, in a panic, backs into another wall of the lake.

Yoko smirked as he placed his hands on either side of Inuyasha's head, and leaned close to his (Inuyasha's) ear. Then, he whispered, "If you would get Kagome out here, it would be greatly appreciated, unless *you* want to play some more."

Inuyasha paled at the last comment and pushed Yoko off of him before getting out of the water and putting on the cloths he got from the forest earlier. "Basterd!" He threw a rock at Yoko, who dodged again, "And don't EVER try anything like that with Kagome, understand?!" He growled.

Yoko got out of the water and dressed, "I understand, but why shouldn't I? You're not afraid that she would *want* to play with me, are you?" He teased the pissed-off dog some more.

Inuyasha just "Feh-ed" as he went back to camp.

~*~*~*~

SesshouMaru was at his castle, about to leave with Rin, when a certain cowering toad (whom we all hate ^.~) decided to show up. "Lord SesshouMaru!!! PLEASE, WAIT FOR THIS HUMBLE SERVANT OF YOURS!!!"

SesshouMaru spared his 'retainer' an annoyed glance, "Jaken, your orders are clear. You are to remain here, and watch over things in my absence. Fail to do so, and I shall kill you, revive you with Tenseiga, and kill you again."

"Yes milord, but-"

"But, how are you going to do as instructed if you are away with Rin and I?"

Rin decided to answer, "He can't!" She said, smiling in her childish way.

SesshouMaru smirked, "Exactly. Now, come Rin." He waited for Rin to stand next to him before forming his demon cloud, and flying away. Watching them from the ground was Jaken.

"It's not fair. Lord SesshouMaru always gives me the stupid jobs." He mumbled as he waddled back into the castle, to do as his lord bids.

~*~*~*~

Inuyasha sat against a tree, his eyes closed. He felt something on his head. It seemed to be……… biting him. He cracked open an eye, "What is it now Shippou?!" came his irked voice.

"Bring Kagome back out!" said the young kitsune, as he continued to gnaw on Inuyasha's head. "You don't need to be doing *those* kinds of things with *her* body anyways!"

"Feh, what in the seven Hells are you talking about?!"

Shippou shuttered, "Don't think I didn't see what happened between you and Yoko in the woods. You're disgusting, Inuyasha!"

"Why am *I* the disgusting one, huh?! It was all the fox's fault to begin with!" Inuyasha growled, as Yoko ignored them whilst sitting against a tree with his eyes closed.

"Because, half-breed, there is rarely a time when it isn't your fault." SesshouMaru just landed, with Rin hiding behind his legs.

"Who the fuck asked you?!"

Before Inuyasha knew what was going on, SesshouMaru's hand had (somehow) wrapped itself around his neck, and was squeezing really, really hard. SesshouMaru growled, "NEVER use that kind of language in front of Rin!"

Inuyasha, noticing Kagome had finally woken up, switched with her, hiding in the recesses of the young miko's mind. Kagome eyes widened, "What……………did……………………he…………..do…………..now?" She asked between gasps for air.

SesshouMaru, noticing this change (and Yoko's growls) dropped Kagome, "He said something in front of Rin that he shouldn't have."

"Well, don't take it out on me!" Kagome said, rubbing her neck. Noticing the 'scary man' was gone, Rin ran over to Shippou, and the two started to play tag. Kagome smiled, when she felt something, "Guys, a jewel's headed this way."

Just then, a demon with messy orange hair, tiny horns on his head, and a white outfit ran into Kagome, knocking both of them down. He got up, and smiled down at her, "You wouldn't mind lend'n me a help'n hand, now would ya'?" He spoke with an Irish accent.
