Sesshoumaru's Plan By: Arthia Maxwell

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, so don't sue me. Now then enjoy and laugh, often.

They had made their way to Kaede's hut with no more incidents. During the nights Kagome wasn't sleeping, being stuck in the hanyou's body wasn't doing to good for her sleeping habits. It appeared that his body didn't need as much sleep as hers normally did. Growling she dropped from the tree outside of Kaede's hut and quietly went inside. She make her way over to Inuyasha who appeared to be asleep with Shippo all to comfortable, and oblivious, snuggled up to the warmth of her body. Sigh quietly she stood after sniffing to see what that odd smell was coming from her body.it was one she didn't recognize and decided to ask Inuyasha about it in the morning. However, she just about jumped out of her skin when Inuyasha muttered something and looked straight at her in the dark.

"What's wrong, Kagome?" Concern coloured his voice. He was sure she was still upset about being stuck in his body. He was scared that she would completely hate him now. He watched as she turned to look at him then walked out of the hut. Sighing deeply he climbed out of her "sleeping bag" without disturbing the kitsune and followed her outside. There he found her sitting up against the base of a tree. Walking over he sat down beside her and leaned back against the tree. "I repeat, what's wrong, Kagome?" "I can't sleep." She said wearily, looking at him.

"Remember you're in my body now. Hanyou's don't need much sleep." He raised an eyebrow at her. "Or did you forget that?"

"I know. I just.I don't know.I feel lonely." She pouted, her ears drooping down. Inuyasha sighed and reached up, scratching the drooping ears. Kagome leaned into the touch, purring softly. "That really does feel good, and I always thought you hated this." She purred.

"I do like it. It's just that I can't be as aware if I'm enjoying having my ears scratched." He stopped and dropped his hands in his lap, looking down at them, ashamed he had admitted a weakness to Kagome.

"You could relax once in a while, you know." She said looking down at him. He didn't move so she leaned over resting her head on his shoulder. Surprised, Inuyasha went stiff, then relaxed. Inuyasha reached up and scratched her ears again. As Kagome sat there an intoxicating smell invaded her nose. She pulled away so suddenly that Inuyasha looked up at her in concern.

"What's wrong?" He trailed off at the look in her eyes. "Kagome, what's it smell like?" He asked carefully inching away from her.

"Intoxicating." She replied gruffly. For some odd reason she couldn't control her body, or should she say his body. She crawled toward Inuyasha with a half-lidded look on her face. "Inuyasha, what's happening?" She asked in fright.

"I think YOUR body just went into HEAT!" He yelled jumping up and taking steps back from her. He really didn't want this to happen now. In fact he was hoping to have his body back before this happened!

"What!? But why am I acting like this now? Sango had the same smell but the one coming from my body is different!" She broke down in tears, but her body kept moving. "Why, Inuyasha, Why?"

"Because."He stopped short as Kagome reached out and grabbed his wrist. "Kagome." He growled, well his best impression of a growl in a human body, warningly. Kagome didn't answer but tightened her grip on him. Inuyasha yelped in pain as her claws cut into his skin. "Kagome control my body!" He yelled in hope of shaking her out of the trance. (Ye asked for it so ye shall receive!) "Sorry, Kag." He whispered and really hoped that the rosary worked. "SIT!"

Kagome's eyes went huge and as she was thrown down face first into the dirt she letting go of him. Inuyasha not wanting to be in her body anymore, like he did in the first place, ran as fast as he could back to Kaede's hut set on telling her what had happened. He heard a hunting howl and pushed himself faster. He cursed being stuck in a human body, for its speed was nothing compared to his. He burst into the hut panting like mad and collapsed in front of Kaede.

"Kagome's gone mad!" He shouted then frowned when he realized just what he said. "Kagome's in MY body and she can't control it!"

"Kagome, what are ye talking about?" Kaede asked a little more then confused. Just then Kagome pushed aside the hanging door, looking around scowling at Inuyasha when her eyes landed on him.

"Inuyasha, how DARE you SIT ME!" She growled stalking toward him. Inuyasha afraid dived behind Kaede and said the only thing he could think of to keep her from getting any closer, "Sit!" Kagome hit face first into the floor breaking a few floorboards in the process. (Sorry I just couldn't help myself. Once just wasn't funny enough.)

"What is going on?" Sango asked watching as Kagome struggled to get up again.

"Some how Kagome and my body were switched! Now she's in mine and I'm in hers." Inuyasha seethed watching Kagome carefully as she sat where she was.

"But why does Inuyasha look like he's drugged?" Miroku asked still not getting what was going on.

"Because THIS body is IN HEAT and Kagome can't control MY body!" He growled hoping that if Kagome attacked that Kaede would be able to stop her, and if not he just 'sit' her again.

"He's right. I want my body back!" Kagome cried, tears slipping down her face.

"So ye wasn't lying. This sounds like a spell." Kaede muttered trying to think. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo all sat in shock. None of them could believe that Inuyasha was crying. Then again they couldn't believe that Kagome was stuck in Inuyasha's body.

"Ye must find who cast the spell and get them to undo it." Kaede said looking from the crying hanyou to the girl sitting behind her.

"Inuyasha, come out! I want the Tetsusaiga." Sesshoumaru's cold emotionless voice called from outside. Inuyasha stood and frowned deeply. He then turned to Kagome who was also standing but before he could tell her what the plan was she was gone. A sudden thought came to his mind, did I just think of a plan? He frowned and ran out with Sango and Miroku following. He saw his brother standing there with Kagome standing across from him, growling. Sesshoumaru turned his gaze toward Inuyasha.

"Brother you really need to keep your bitch locked up when she's in heat. You never know what youkai might claim her." He sneered. Inuyasha ran up beside Kagome.

"Kagome, give me the Tetsusaiga." He whispered hoping his brother wouldn't hear him. Kagome looked at him. He gasped and slowly backed away from her. She had the same look as before only this time it was mingled with protectiveness.

"Ye should leave, Sesshoumaru-sama. You have no right to be here." Kaede said from the doorway of the hut. Sesshoumaru just looked over at her.

"There's no need to hide the truth from me, I know." He looked right at Inuyasha. "I know that my brother is trapped in his woman's body, and that his woman is in his." His lip twitched on one side as if he was fighting a smile. "Which means the Tetsusaiga is useless." He reached out his hand. "So hand it over." Kagome looked from one to the other before rushing at him a blur sending Inuyasha's Iron Weaver Soul Stealer at Sesshoumaru. Surprised, but of course not showing it, he dodged barely missed getting hit.

"It seems your bitch can't control your body very well." He dodged again as a clawed hand came flying toward him. He took the opportunity and reached for the Tetsusaiga. Inuyasha, who was cursing his damned human weakness, saw what his brother was doing and did the only thing possible.

"Sit!" He cringed as Kagome went face first into the ground, Sesshoumaru just missing the sword.

"She's really going to kill him now, once she's back in her own body." Miroku muttered behind Inuyasha, his hand ready to use the air rip. Sango was beside him ready to use her boomerang. Inuyasha ignoring them ran to help Kagome up and to keep Sesshoumaru from getting the Tetsusaiga.

"You may not be in your body, Inuyasha, but if that body dies, so do you!" He quickly changed his target, aiming for Kagome's body's heart. Shocked he wasn't able to move. He had never felt so helpless. Babaa, who had been watching from a nearby tree, frowned. 'This is no fun.' She thought and waved her hand, sending Sesshoumaru off balance and he only cut the body across the side, cutting deeply but not mortally. She grinned as she watched him look around for her.

"Damn it, Babaa, get out here now!" He bellowed anger boiling up in him. Babaa grinning like the Chester Cat came floating out from the tree to land next to Inuyasha. Her black hair waved lightly in the gentle breeze.

"You called Sesshoumaru-sama?" She asked as if he hadn't yelled at her. He didn't miss that she stood slightly in front of his bastard half brother and his woman.

"Why'd you stop me?" She was the only person he would ever ask that question. Her silver eyes flashed with amusement.

"My plans differ slightly from yours." She said simply. "Do you challenge me?" Both her finely plucked eyebrows raised at him.

"This was the whole reason I inquired you to switch their bodies!" It was obvious to all that he was loosing his temper with the babaa. Inuyasha eye's rounded when he heard that, and he heard Kagome's gasp below him. Babaa turned and looked at the two.

"Yes, I was the one to switch your bodies. However, it seems that you have to learn what I wanted you to, so you will be stuck like that till then." She heard Sesshoumaru growl at being ignored. She turned back to Sesshoumaru with a board look. "Do you think that I would help you just because you asked?" She laughed when his growl deepened. "Oh, you did." Inuyasha reached out to grab onto the back of her plain kimono, but missed as she side stepped. "I don't think so. You will have to complete the task that I have set for you."

"What task?" Kagome asked sitting in a true doggy style.

"Wait!" But before Inuyasha could say any more he was pounced by Kagome, who was fighting the urge to kiss her own body. Inuyasha struggled but to no avail. Babaa turned to Sesshoumaru.

"You're no longer needed here, however, if you really want this sword in two days time, if you can find them I won't interrupt you." When he lunged at her she just transported him back to him home with a sleeping Rin in his lap. Sesshoumaru instantly went still and sighed. 'Damn her.' He thought as he stroked Rin's hair.

Inuyasha turned back to Babaa after having to sit Kagome again. "HAG! What's the task. I just want my body back!" He bellowed which was kind of odd coming from Kagome's throat. Babaa just looked at him.

"What's wrong? The truth about your feeling about to be exploited?" She whispered, instantly at his side. Inuyasha stood stiff. "Or is it you're scared she's going to mark this body and make herself yours? Does that scare you little inu?" She grinned. "Would that be so bad?" She dodged Inuyasha's fist as he tried to hit her.

"Stop playing around, Hag. If you haven't noticed, which I think you have, this BODY is in HEAT! SO either change us back now or give us that task so we can finish quickly." He was ready to strangle the witch. Instead she floated over to Kagome and wrapped her arms around her shoulders.

"Why? Do you think she can't control your body while hers is in heat?" She whispered receiving a glare from Inuyasha. Kagome turned and looked at the woman. Babaa just raised her eyebrows. Kagome blushed deeply as she realized what Babaa had said.

"I can control his body, Babaa-sama." She whispered, still blushing.

"AH! Someone who knows to show respect to those higher then her!" Babaa grinned happily. "Since she showed this woman proper respect then I shall tell you your task!" She walked over to Inuyasha and pulled him toward Kagome, and gestured to the others to come closer.

"So what's their task?" Miroku asked quite interested now.

"They have to go to the cliffs of Shinshikono." She looked around at the grim faces. "There at the base of the cliffs you will find a waterfall behind which is a pond filled with lotus blooms. You must bring me three." She paused. "A white, a red, and a purple." They were silent for a while.

"Isn't that a bit dangerous?" Kagome asked, her eyes half lidded and the her body leaning toward Inuyasha..

"Yes, but the two of you must do it, or," She grinned rather evilly. "You'll be stuck like that, and I doubt either of you can last very long with that body the way it is." She chuckled when Kagome snuggled with Inuyasha who looked like a talking chicken, breathing fire was attacking a village while telling bad jokes. Inuyasha tried wiggling out of her embrace but it didn't seemed to be working very well.

"Wait, isn't the cliffs a four days trip from here?" Inuyasha frowned. Babaa simply nodded.

"I suggest that you leave now." She said in a slightly board tone. "Oh! And watch out for dragons, they seem to be thick in that area." She stepped back and the air around her ripped then she was gone.

"Damn, hag." Inuyasha grumbled. He turned to the others. We need to get there and fast. Kagome, you'll carry Miroku and if Kirara will, she can carry the rest of us."

"There is no way I want that HENTAI riding on my BACK!" Kagome shouted, glaring at Inuyasha.

"No, I think Inuyasha is right, Kaogme-chan." Sango said quietly. "It'll be a bad idea to have Inuyasha riding with you if you can't control that body." Sango, showing just a bit of evil, turned to Inuyasha. "And why is it that Kagome can't control your body while hers is in heat? Considering she traveled two days like that when I was," She growled at referring to it like a dog, "in heat?" Inuyasha stared at her wide-eyed. He couldn't believe she just asked him that. Kagome looked at him, intent on knowing the answer.

"We have no time to waste on stupid questions. Remember we only have two days before that bastard Sesshoumaru is able to come after us." He flinched at the look on Kagome's face. "Fine! If you can wait till we are in our own bodies, I'll tell YOU, but only you." He grumbled. Kagome nodded in agreement, noticing the slightly depressed faces of Sango and Miroku.

Once they had everything they needed, Kagome, with great reluctance, let Miroku climb onto her back. She looked back to make sure that Inuyasha was comfortable on Kirara.

"Let's go." She said bounding off in the direction they needed to go. Her ears twitched constantly the whole time. By mid-day Kagome wasn't the one who needed the break but Inuyasha.

"Could we stop!" He yelled just to make sure everyone could hear him. "I'm hungry and my butt hurts.!" Sango swung her head around in surprise, having never heard Inuyasha complain about those things before. Kagome stopped and because Sango wasn't paying attention she let Kirara fly right over her. Sango blinked in surprise at seeing Kagome behind them. She had Kirara quickly turn around and land next to where Kagome had dumped Miroku.

"I'll be back." With that she was gone, leaving Inuyasha opened mouth.

"Either she's still mad at you, or her body is really bad right now." Miroku said a devious smile lighting his face. "I'm sure you wouldn't mind having her jump you now would you?" Miroku was so into taunting Inuyasha that he never saw Hiraikotsu until he was on the ground with a large lump on his head.

"Leave them alone!" Sango scolded, hitting him again to get her point across. They ate, and rested for a bit, but Kagome never came back. When they were ready to go though she showed up. She said nothing and had a rather peculiar blush staining her cheeks. They traveled all day and well into the night. By the time they did stop Inuyasha was asleep, leaning up against Sagno's back. Kagome dumped a sleeping Miroku on the ground and went over to help Sango pull Inuyasha off Kirara's back. Inuyasha muttered something about damned human frailty, and being cold. Kagome chuckled softly and tucked Inuyasha into her sleeping bag and settled Shippo in with him.

"You should get some sleep, Sango-chan. We're leaving early tomorrow." She looked around, her ears twitching nervously.

"Why'd you go off Kagome-san?" Kirara jumped up into Sango's arms and settled herself in to sleep. Sango looked down at her. "What's going on? Why are you so nervous?" When she looked up at Kagome, who was blushing again.

"Please never ask why I went off earlier today." Sango nodded. "As for the other reason, I think Kouga is following us."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ~Laughs evily~ Look at you now! Wait!.Screams.now how is Inuyasha going to deal with Kouga now that he's stuck in Kagome's body?! Will they EVER reach the cliffs? Will I ever stop asking questions, and will I ever stop with the cliffhangers? Of course not. Now R+R before I kick your reading ass!
