Disclaimer: You should all know this by now: I don't own Inuyasha. I do, however, own this sad excuse for a story. Enjoy!
Shippou: *cough* Freak *cough*
Starr: Hey! That isn't nice!!
Shippou: So? Never stopped me from being kawaii before.
Starr: …True, true. *sighs* I shall not be the one who challenges your cuteness.
Lessa: I think you're both freaks, personally.
Shippou: MEANIE!!! *cries*
Starr: Now look what you did, you made my muse cry! *huggles Shippou* I'll be alright, Shippou, the bad lady didn't mean it…
Shippou: *sniff sniff*
Lessa: Honestly!
Now, back the randomness that is my imagination!
*random people cheer*
Starr: *bows* Thank you, thank you!
Shippou: n_n;;
The First Ever Adventure of Foxman and Muttboy
Chapter Five: Mind, Body, Soul
"So all we have to do," Kagome twirled the empty glass in her hand, "is drink one of these things?" she arched an eyebrow. 'There has to be a catch.'
"No-"
"Aha! I knew it! The is a catch!" Kagome laughed evilly and pointed to the startled youkais. Sesshoumaru coughed, "Three."
The miko we all know and love sat back down and blinked stupidly. "You must drink three."
"Three?" Kouga cocked his head to the side, "Why not four? Or five? Or two? Two is a very nice number."
"Mind. Body. Soul. One glass for each." Kouga quickly counted on his fingers and nodded. Kagome sweat dropped, and lifted one of the glasses.
"Let's get drinkin' then!" she raised the glass in the air, Kouga mirroring her every more.
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!" They both quickly put the glasses to their lips, and with one final nervous look at each other, and the demon lord, they drank…
And spit out the contents, drenching the demon lord's clothes with the indigo liquid. Taking a white cloth out of nowhere in particular, Sesshoumaru calmly wiped the liquid from his face.
"So, eheh…" Kagome backed up, "I think I'll be going now…" she crawled on her hands and knees. Soon, she felt a clawed hand grip her ankle and stop her. She greedily clawed the ground as the hand pulled her back to her seat.
"Sit." he said simply. An uneasy laugh was her response as she obeyed the youkai.
"So…" she coughed after a moment of silence.
"That was Mind." Sesshoumaru averted his eyes from her gaze.
"Sorry." she looked down.
"It isn't needed."
"Oh?" Kouga and Kagome said simultaneously.
"But considering you drank some," he returned his gaze to Kagome, "You may share the same thoughts." Kagome held his gaze for a moment longer.
"You mean we share telekinetic powers?"
Sesshoumaru nodded, "If that is what it is called in your world, than yes."
'Woah…' Kagome looked across the table at Kouga and blinked. He grinned and nodded towards her, 'Tell me about it.'
'Kouga-kun?'
'Yes?'
'Are, are you listening to my thoughts?' she questioned. Kouga nodded.
"WELL, GET OUT!!" she slammed her fists on the table and smirked at the wolf's face.
Sesshoumaru handed fresh glasses to the two, and sat silently once more. Kagome looked at the now blue contents, and grimaced.
"Drink." he demanded.
"Here goes" Kouga shrugged and drank, a pleased growl escaping his throat. Kagome followed his example. This drink, she found, tasted very nice.
'Very nice indeed!' she breathed in the sweet smell of nectar and the hot liquid soothed her aching throat, and warmed her senses. She sighed in ecstasy as her head became lighter. A smile snuck up on her face as she set the glass down.
"Ah!" she grabbed her head as a sharp pang ran through her mind. The warmness leaving as the pain crept up on her. She pulled at her hair with one hand, and clawed the corner of the table with the other.
She heard a pained groan from the other end of the table, and growled in response.
"M-Make it stop!" Kouga growled.
"Yes! Please!" Kagome pleaded, digging her nails into her knees, the flesh opening, "Anything, just make it stop!" she gasped as the pain grew. Tears fell freely from her eyes, "Please…"
Her vision fogged slightly as she looked at the roof of the cave with glazed, yet pleading, eyes. 'Inu…Yasha…' a sob escaped her burning throat.
"Inuyasha!" she chocked, attempting a shriek.
"W-What is this shit?!" Kouga coughed, "S-Some kind of poison?" he clawed desperately at his face and throat, sending blood landing on the table. He cried out in pain.
Kagome withered in pain once more, and the, just as quickly as it began, the pain disappeared. She froze, afraid to breath, afraid it would return.
"You bastard!" Kouga grabbed for Sesshoumaru, who calmly twisted his arm behind his back, "Let go of me! We could have died, and all you did was sit there like some lazy ass mutt!" Sesshoumaru growled, and loosened his grip. Kouga stepped back, gripping his wrist in his other hand.
"You… bastard…" he repeated.
Kagome blinked and cautiously sat up. Before her stood the always calm Sesshoumaru, and a woman who looked oddly like herself. Looking around for Kouga, she froze. It hit her. Like a ton of bricks, it hit her.
"K-Kouga-kun?" she choked out.
"Hai?" a gruff voice answered. Kouga's voice. The young woman turned her kind brown eyes to Kagome, and her eyes widened. Both stared, afraid to blink. Afraid to breath.
'It's like looking into a mirror…' Sesshoumaru, after what seemed like an eternity, straightened his clothes.
Simply, he stated the truth in one single word, sending chills down the spines of both the miko and the wolf, "Body."
"I can't go back to the others like this!" she cried, looking down at her now manly form, "I'll scare poor Shippou to death!"
"Quiet." the demon lord growled. Kagome desperately silenced her tears as Kouga sat down beside her.
"Shh…" his arms wrapped around her, "It'll be alright. I promise, Kagome."
"Drink." Sesshoumaru laid two more glasses in front of them. Kagome shook her head, "No. No more."
The youkai growled, "Yes. Last one."
"What will this one do, kill us?" growled Kouga.
"No," Sesshoumaru huffed, "Make you act like the other when needed. Conceal your voices. And your scents." he added, smelling the air in added affect and frowning.
"W-Will you change us back?" Kagome rubbed her eyes. 'What a disturbing site I must make,' she told herself, 'a strong wolf youkai balling her, err, his eyes out.'
"Once I get the Tetsusaiga." Kagome nodded, and drank.

All the nice people who reviewed:
RaspK FOG: Thank you!! I was actually doubting anyone would find it interesting. Err… Stupid is good, too. Sometimes. ^-^
WarriorGL: *blushes* People are recognizing my names? Wow… Coming from one of my favorite writers on FF.net, I take that as a very high complement!! I hope you continue Of Stars, Hearts, and Rainbows!!!
Aurelia Lothlorien: Yea… Jaken as Kagome would be very disturbing. Actually, my original idea was for Sesshoumaru himself to switch bodies with Kagome, until my good friend Tabby pointed, "There's no way Fluffy would even THINK of switching bodies with a idiot human wench!" *sweat drops*
buster 019: Hai, hai… Alas, I'm not good at writing long things. At all. This'll probably not be the only long(er) chapter in the story. I hope…
Wizardess Gal: Yesh, Kouga haters are very, very stoopid. *beams* Glad there are more Kouga fangirls out there!!
SERENITY GODDESS: Yea, I realize that Inuyasha is more of a man than Shippou, but it's funnier this way. ^-^ It's supposed to be a little twist on Batman and Robin, and just 'Mutt' didn't sound right, but I didn't want to have Inuyasha challenge Shippou's *cough* authority in the matter at hand, so Foxman and Muttboy were born!
