Chapter 5
Oooo….Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha have switched bodies cackle Am I evil or what? And I just found out that although I actually started writing on this idea first, someone beat me to the action slightly sulk on the other hand, their story's slightly different, so I guess I'm the first after all!!! And I have another twisted fanfic idea coming up very soon!!! Mwahahahaha!!! Um…my evil laughter needs practice…maybe I should take Naraku's 'Kukuku'ing classes? No? Oh well… Inuyasha belongs to Kagome, who belongs to Takahashi-san. Any questions?
'Sesshoumaru-sama, are sure you're all right?'
'I'm FINE.'
'But you look ill…let you faithful Jaken help you…'
'I said I'm FINE!!!' growled Inuyasha for the twentieth time. He was beginning to understand why his brother was always in such a homicidal frame of mind.
Nevertheless, he had to admit that being his much-loathed brother was presenting other difficulties – apart from the emotional ones.
There was the added height, for one thing. He hadn't really appreciated the difference until a tree branch he would have just missed in his normal body hit him straight in the face. He had had to sit down until the little birdies flying round his head got bored and popped back into hammerspace.
Then there was the tail. He'd had a lot of trouble balancing with it's added weight on his shoulder. And Jaken hovering like an anxious mother hen – a green, plucked, bug-eyed mother hen - every time he stumbled was not improving his temper.
On the other hand…
He was a full youkai, something he'd wanted for most of his short (by demons' terms) life. The heightening of his senses was almost intoxicating. He could run faster, smell better, see clearer, and was undeniably much, much stronger.
A little voice in the back of his head whispered that he could stay like this, stay a full youkai, and fulfil even his wildest dreams. He didn't need the others any more. As a full demon, he didn't need the Shikon no Tama. The voice was promptly stamped on by the rest of his brain, which pointed out that Sesshoumaru was in his body doing who-knows what to Kagome and the others, which he would be undoubtedly be blamed (and 'sat') for. Moreover, he was sworn to protect them, after all, they were his friends. Oh, added his brain, and Kagome is the only source of ramen in this time…
Inuyasha mentally gave in, leaving the little voice as a metaphorical bloody pulp on the floor of his skull.
Anyway, Sesshoumaru can't plan on keeping my 'worthless hanyou' body forever he mused. When I'm me and he's him again, I am going to bash seven kinds of SHIT out of him! A large, predatorial grin spread over his face.
'Sesshoumaru-sama, you really are not well,' said Jaken in distress. 'You are not yourself today.'
Inuyasha's eye twitched. What was he supposed to say? Yes, actually, I am not myself because I'm NOT F***ING ME!
'Are you certain that you are all right?'
That did it. Inuyasha finally snapped.
/BASHBASHBASH/
The sounds of Inuyasha's fist on Jaken's skull scared most of the nearby animals away.
'STOP…SAYING…THAT!!!.'
'Ah, Sesshoumaru-sama,' croaked Jaken happily. 'Good to…see you….back to normaaal…'
The toad fainted face down in the dirt.
Inuyasha shook his head in disbelief. 'Sesshoumaru must be even more psychotic than I thought,' he muttered. He leapt into a nearby tree to wait for the warty youkai to regain consciousness and contemplate various ways he could dismember his brother once he was back to normal.

Sesshoumaru sat on the porch outside Kaede's house, waiting for Kagome to return through the Bone-Eaters' Well.
Despite the fact that he felt like his head was stuck in a wet paper bag, Sesshoumaru was very happy. Kagome had fussed over him for the last two hours before suddenly remembering that she had a mock high school exam and rushing for the well. She had been mildly surprised that Sesshoumaru hadn't chased after her yelling 'GET BACK HERE!!!' but had eventually put it down to shock.
As soon as Kagome had left, a hysterical, crying Shippo had thrown himself at Sesshoumaru's feet and apologized repeatedly for teasing him (as a giant ramen cup), gnawing on his head, throwing foxfire at him, pulling his ears – er, well, let's just call it a general apology for his brattishness.
Of course, there was a catch…
'Inuyasha!' Kaede creaked out of her house.
Sesshoumaru sighed. Oh, yes…The ancient miko had been pouring foul-tasting (even to a hanyou's senses) potions down his throat all day in an effort to diagnose what 'his brother' had done to him.
'Don't make that face, Inuyasha. Just drink the potion.' Kaede proffered a black bottle with noxious yellow vapours leaking from the top.
Sesshoumaru sighed yet again and obediently drank the potion. It tasted even viler than he remembered, and it took all his self-control to keep his gag reflex down.
'Are you all right, Inuyasha?' asked Kaede with slight concern
Sesshoumaru smiled and nodded. In defiance of the statement, his face was turning a very interesting shade of green.
'Oh, well, if you're sure…' Kaede turned around and ambled slowly out of sight.
Sesshoumaru watched her slowly retreating and willed her to move faster. As soon as the curtain over her door flapped closed, he leapt up and ran for the woods.
He made it about halfway before retching up most of the potion.
'Inuyasha, you look awful,' said Sango in concern, coming up.
Wonderfully astute, human female Sesshoumaru thought grimly. What came out was more on the lines of 'hack, hack cough wheeze'
'Never mind. Kagome left some ramen for you, that should cheer you up, huh?' asked Sango in an irritatingly cheerful tone.
'I do not eat human food!' yelled Sesshoumaru before cursing himself for his knee-jerk response. 'I mean, Oh. Yes. Ramen. Ramen. Ramen. Hooray.'
Ten minutes later, he was en route to the woods yet again, this time to disgorge about six cups of ramen.
'Gods, how can my brother EAT that stuff?' wondered Sesshoumaru. He growled slightly. Normally, he would have liked nothing better than to kill all of Inuyasha's little friends, but when he'd tried to draw Tetsusaiga his hand blistered and burned like before.
'So I'm stuck protecting these stupid humans until the sword is properly attuned to me,' he thought in frustration.
Even worse than that was the fact that if he met his brother, he would be unable to fight him. Sesshoumaru had no intention of remaining a hanyou, so while Inuyasha was in his body, Sesshoumaru could not lay a finger on him. Inuyasha, on the other hand, had always wanted to be a full youkai, and could stay that way if he killed Sesshoumaru.
My hands are f***ing tied behind my back thought Sesshoumaru. For the first time in my life, I'm almost totally defenceless.
Review, pleeease? Or I will do something drastic next chapter!!! Oh yeah, Sess found out who Naraku is from the team.
