AN: So, yeah, here it is. My first Inuyasha work on this site and it's this...
I would like to know if anyone is interested in this sort of crazy scenario as a whole finished Fanfic. Seriously, guys, this one is one of my favorites and I kinda wanna try writing it out after I get my other monster 'fic finished.
Truth of Love Shown Through Time
One god was talking to another god about having to switch two Inuyashas from two different times on their timeline for a week to ensure the proper outcome. They had somehow messed up their aim and accidentally put Future Inuyasha in the wrong body. The other god told them that they did just fine and things worked out perfectly. They wanted proof and the other god asked them to follow them to see the results.
As Kagome came to, she felt someone gently rubbing her ears as she was lying with her head in their lap. A wonderful smell drifted into her consciousness through her nose. She drowsily wondered what it could be and shifted slightly as she slowly drifted upward out of sleep.
The hands on her ears paused for a moment before resuming their petting of her ears. Wait. Hands. Rubbing her … ears? What?
Kagome snapped her eyes open to find herself staring into the face of her own human twin. One that was gently massaging her ears, making her feel relaxed. She immediately leapt to her feet in alarm.
Her double slowly got up and approached her like one would a frightened animal. Kagome freaked out and leapt out through the roof of the hut she had been in. She looked back at the hole in the hut that she had just created by jumping before realizing that she was heading for a head-on collision with a tree trunk. She closed her eyes just in time to hit the tree with her face. Wham!
She groaned as she slid to the ground, face throbbing from the impact. She slowly opened her eyes to try to assess what had happened to her. Had she seriously just jumped through a roof and into a tree twenty feet away!? Also, where was Inuyasha? Wasn't he always somewhere nearby, keeping an eye out for danger?
-∙-o-∙-
She heard her double call out, "SIT BOY" before she felt something around her neck yank her face first into the dirt. Urg! Somehow, her mouth had gotten full of dirt and she couldn't move her head enough to spit it all out.
-∙-o-∙-
Kagome asked her double, "K-Kagome, d-do you have a m-mirror? I n-need to see myself."
-∙-o-∙-
While Kagome had been expecting it, when she first looked in the portable hand mirror that her double had hanging on the wall, she had still been surprised to see a very disgruntled and surprised Inuyasha staring back at her from the other side of the mirror. Kagome blinked, looked down at herself and back at the mirror, and made very silly faces that mirror Inuyasha mimicked perfectly. She felt very light headed and abruptly sat down. She couldn't help but feel that this was officially the strangest, most crazy thing that had ever happened to her. She was somehow in the body of the man she loved sitting next to his wife who was her own future self. What insane god could have possibly cooked this up?

Inuyasha now felt like he finally understood what had happened that week before Kagome and him got together. Just before she'd officially confessed her feelings for him. All of her downright bizarre actions and words now made so much more sense. It wasn't even Kagome doing and saying all those things, it was him in Kagome's body. He had been the one who had claimed to be himself that first morning and it had been him who had tried to fight Sesshomaru with an untransformed Tetsusaiga. It had been him who had called himself a coward too afraid to face his feelings for and fears of rejection by the one woman who would never reject him.
Oh gods, his head was spinning from the sheer shock of a morning he'd been having.
Wait. What had happened to the Kagome whose body he was currently trapped in? Was she currently under the tender loving care of his wife, her own future self? Oh gods, what if his wife tried to do fun things with her younger self, mistakenly thinking that she was him!? This whatever it was would only last a week, right!? It had better!
At that moment he heard some twigs snap, breaking him out of his thoughts.
Inuyasha turned his head and spotted his past self sauntering into the clearing where he was sitting. He knew what he had to do. He just had to pretend to be Kagome. Ka-Go-Me. How hard could that possibly be? Oh, wait, he already knew he was going to do a terrible job of it. He groaned into his hands. This was going to be a long stressful week.
AN: I hope you all enjoyed this 'fic, as crazy and probably confusing as it may be to read.
For clarification, Past Kagome is in Future Inuyasha's body in the future and Future Inuyasha is in Past Kagome's body in the past. Inuyasha of the past doesn't find out about the body swap until he becomes Future Inuyasha in Past Kagome's body. All sorts of crazy antics are implied here.
