Authors Note: Some of this story will be told from other points of view, I just think that will suffice for my purposes. Right now Chapter 1, also known as The Body Switch, will be told in Miroku's point of view. So--Pay attention! Please read and review!
Chapter 1 [The Body Switch]
I woke up with a start. There seemed to be no end the throbbing pain emanating from my head. First off, I was scared; I had no idea where I was. Really, if I had known then I wouldn't have this anxiety knocking at my front door.
To my surprise I was not alone. Sango was here to, wherever here is. She groaned before she finally looked at me with those piercing auburn eyes.
"Houshi-sama?" she rubbed her head wearily," Where are we?"
Her confused voice reminded me when and why we had gotten where we were. The witch, oh yes, her. She was a natural beauty, in her transformed state, of course. I would prefer nothing old and shriveled like she had first appeared to us. I still remember why I had gone and done what I did. It was because I felt worthless to my Lovely Sango at the moment and decided to get my fill of someone else. Not that I would ever go along with a women that accepted to that question.
"I-I don't know." I hesitated to answer. The truth of the matter was, I knew why we were here but I still had no clue where we had gone.
She scratched her head in an impatient manner before turning to me with a disappointed frown on her face," Oh yes, that's right. We're here on the account that you lack morals.... whatsoever."
Sometimes she doesn't know how that hurts me. All I can do is sit there and act obedient towards her so that I won't be beaten up. I'm not only physically wearing down now; emotionally I'm breaking inside too. She's my whole world but I don't know how to tell her without scaring her away. I feel so worthless, so unworthy for her, yet she stays by my side.
Enough of my sap, we needed to find a way out of here...
This toil and trouble can only end,
When first love's kiss comes to mend
I recalled that much from yesterday too. I think the evil witch meant something by it...but I'm not sure what exactly. I hope we had plenty of time to think about that in this world...plenty of time. We seem to be alone.
She eyes me suspiciously; I guess she knows precisely what I'm thinking about. I don't know how she can always read me so well. It's scary. Instead of giving me another snide remark I feel a small arm snake around my neck. When has she become so bold?!
What? Now she's screaming at me.
"Ah!! Houshi-sama!! HOUSHI-SAMA!" she started pointing enthusiastically at my head.
I had no idea what her problem was; her arm was still around me. Wait a second...one...two...how could she have three arms?! Three arms?!!
"What is it, what is it, what is it?!" I repeated over and over, I'm really scared of what has gotten her so shooken up.
Her eyes widened and I heard a hissing in my ear,"Sn-snnn-snake."
She was right, there was a snake slithering around my neck and I didn't know how to get rid of it. My breathing came in short gasps as I tried to turn my head to get a glimpse of it. I still couldn't though as I was afraid it would lash out and bite my neck. If only wish Sango was that feisty...
"Don-don't move Houshi-sama, please don't move." She turned around in search of something, I don't know what though.
Okay, so it was rock. It came smashing into the side of my head and neck and boy did it hurt like hell. I fell to the side with a large plop. Somehow my headache had expanded ten times more. She ran to my side and started rubbing my temples, oooh, that felt good.
"Houshi-sama, you okay?" Obviously that snake had crawled elsewhere since she was no longer freaked to come near me. Where did she learn how to massage like that? I was in complete bliss...until...
"Heheheh!!!!" An evil cackle sounded over us and Sango squeezed my neck so tight I thought my head would fall off.
She pushed me roughly to the ground, obviously embarrassed that we were so close. She's cute when she's shy.
"Who's there?! Show yourself." Sango stood up quickly and looked around the surrounding area for any sign of who it could be.
"You still haven't caught my drift,
That's why this curse cannot lift.
As your punishment you will see,
Your body will no longer belong to thee."
That evil hag. What was she going to do with my body? I was really frustrated by now, she had gone too far. I had just gotten up when I felt Sango timidly tugging on my robes once again.
"What?" she had a voice, why couldn't she just use it?
"Houshi-sama...look..." She said this shakily, but kept her composure. Up in the corner of this cave/room/hut a blue light was collecting larger and larger until suddenly it triggered and flung both Sango and I backwards. I did not know where Sango had gone but I felt tremendous pain as my back dug into the rock hard walls.
It must have been at least twenty minutes later when I finally found the strength to lift myself up. I felt...weird...to say the least. My back still hurt from the impact and I reached around to feel if I was bleeding or if there was a puncture wound. There wasn't anything there, but my robes gained a new texture.
Everything seemed to be in tact...my legs, my arms, my head, my breasts.... my what?
Just then I heard a very manly shrill scream and I got up to see who it could be. Oh, it was only Miroku.
Miroku? But I was Miroku! Why was I out of my body? It was then that I decided to look at myself. I was Sango!
We looked at each other, our eyes racing back and forth from each other's faces then down our bodies.
"What happened?" that was my voice all right.
"I-I don't know." I like her voice, it's very soothing and now I could make her say whatever I wanted, "Miroku's handsome." Oooh, that sounded nice.
"What?"
"Nothing." If I played innocent sometimes she pretended not to hear.
Okay, this was a problem. I don't know how we're going to get out of this one. Let me just tell you this--this is the first time in my life that I ever had to suppress the urge to touch myself. Kami, she had a gorgeous body and so far it looked like it was mine to touch. I started rubbing my butt, grimacing to show that I was doing it from some sort of pain. She saw right through me, I knew it. I got a big payback for that one. Man, I can certainly pack a punch.
"Stop goofing around! And stop fondling my body while I'm not in it!" I think that was a slip, she meant to say stop doing it all together but she just told me I had to wait to touch her until she came back. Fair enough.
"How can you stand this, it's very tight...but flattering." I was stretching out the demon exterminator uniform until it snapped back against my body. There was no way this suit could go anywhere.
She blushed as she saw how interested I was with her body. It's the truth; I am very interested in her body she just doesn't want to believe it. I was kind of sad to see that she didn't want to discover my body while she had a chance.
"I-I need some time to think." Out of nowhere there was a small hut to her right and she went in it to have time to think, as she said. She's probably going to scheme up something. What if she cries? If she does then I will be in a lot of pain, I wouldn't be able to stand it.
When I've grown tired of looking at myself...and not touching, mind you, I pace up to the small house and knock three times. My body comes barging through the mat covering the door and she stops with her hands over my chest. She's blushing. She looked. She just couldn't restrain herself and she snuck a peak. I knew there was a dirty side to that girl.
"Like what you saw?" My voice now is like honey, she looks away and seems to find something very interesting with the dirt floor.
"I didn't see anything. I don't know what you're talking about." She huffed and didn't realize she blew some of my bangs upward when she did so.
"Don't deny it."
I noticed she was a bit peeved with me, but hopefully if I kept pressing my luck she would admit it and I would know she liked my body too. Will she ever tell me any compliment that I long to hear? At least tell me I'm good looking...but maybe to her I'm not. That's probably it.
"I-I had to use the bathroom. How else was I supposed to control the thing?!" Sango exploded at me and threw her arms up in the air. It was quite funny even though I could not will myself to laugh. The way she said it, 'thing', is that what she thought it was?
"Besides, it's not my fault. You were the one that drank so much that I had to go."
I knew she would make an excuse. Well, it was believable and even I couldn't deny that. Finally I noticed that she was fidgeting. What for? I don't know, she was just moving around like she had ants in her pants. Maybe she did, who knows...
The silence was uncomfortable until I heard myself moan and fall to the ground. Now what was she doing?
"What's wrong?" I rushed to her side, "You aren't hurt are you?" I sounded a little feminine, did I not?
"Nothing...but...well...I was just curious." Now I knew exactly what she did.
Miroku, no me, no I mean Sango touched me. Touched me. Not only that but in a place I never thought a girl world. Especially her. I was kind of irritated that she was playing with my body while I was restricted from doing anything with her.
"We've got to switch back" I heard Sango's voice say. I must have been desperate to end the awkward silence.
"But how?"
I shook my head, I really didn't know. I grabbed my hair, rather Sango's, and ran my fingers through it. It was the only way to stop myself from blowing up. I took one deep breath. Still, there was no way I could calm down.
"What is it that you want?! What?! Huh?! Tell me!!!" I yelled into the emptiness as I fell to my knees.
No one answered. I guess that witch wasn't willing to answer and we had to figure this riddle out on our own. I just didn't get it though, I was thoroughly confused. I felt Sango's, no sorry, my own arms enclose around me in a tightening embrace. My fingers were splayed against, how fitting, Miroku's chest as she comforted me. This wasn't right, nothing was at the moment.
"We have to do something Houshi-sama. We can't give up." I was thanking her silently right now. In a women's body I was more vulnerable to the emotion of sadness. I literally was going to cry like no man had ever cried before. She began to gently caress my hair and tenderly run her hands up and down my back. Well-er-more like hers so she had no shame in touching what she was used to.
She was making my body shake and I realized she was making me cry. Soft tears spilled from my violet eyes and it was almost humorous to know I was crying. I wouldn't let her know that though. I instead tried to comfort her,"Shhh." I told her as we switched the actions she had been doing before.
Then...I don't know what happened. I don't know how to explain it...but it was an overwhelming feeling that overtook me then. In a flash of another blue light we were gone and taken to another place. To where, once again I had no idea.
Thanks to the reviewers:
[Ignore the first review. That happens to be my cousin being silly.]
Soli-To answer your questions; I might be rewriting Western Proposals and reposting Chapter two and three. I just feel that those chapters were more poorly done. I would like to thank you very much for the compliments! I hope you like the rest of the story as well!Bluefuzzyelf-Yes, the witch is rather spooky. Normally we don't see magic among the people in Feudal Japan so I threw in a twist. Thank you very much for reviewing!
Nitogumi-I am quite sure Miroku will be okay. As you can see, he is frustrated with trying to stay away. But he'll manageā¦some of the time. Thanks!
Jenma-This is what happens next! Hehe! I wish I could translate "Evil One" into Japanese. Hmm, I look for that. It might make a good nickname. Hehe. Anyway, thank you!
