Switched Lives
Chapter 4
The Apparition of Naraku
An apparition appeared in the middle of the table. It was a man who had long black hair and was wearing a baboon pelt.
"Naraku!" Rika exclaimed.
"Ah, Rika, long time no see." He said in his cold voice.
Kaito stood protectively in front of his wife.
"She's not the one I want." Naraku said. "Somehow I see that the twins were put in the correct places. Wonderful job."
Kagome stepped forward. "What do you want with us?" She asked him.
"Nothing, besides to kill you." Naraku told her.
"Why do you wan to kill us?!" Sango asked.
Naraku looked at Sango. "I don't care about you." He said. "Its Kagome that's the problem."
Kagome gulped and took a few steps back. "W-why do you want to k-kill me?"
"Simple, you hold the power to destroy me and my minions five times over. My fortuneteller told me that would happen, so I switched you and your twin at birth with the other girls. I wouldn't have come after you if you were still a commoner, but unfortunately for you, you are back in your correct place." The apparition told her.
Kagome's face got serious. "Why does it matter that I'm a princess now instead of a commoner?"
Naraku's eyes looked into Kagome's making her feel a chill run down her back. "If your mother found out you were a miko which she did, then, she would have someone train you to harness those powers. In order to prevent that, I need to kill you."
"How are you going to kill me if your just an apparition?!" Kagome asked, she was now getting worried.
The apparition disappeared. "Like this." His voice said. Kagome quickly turned around and saw Naraku minus the pelt standing behind her with a sword raised above her head. He brought it down quickly and Kagome prepared for the worst.
"Think again you bastard!" Inu Yasha yelled as he blocked Naraku's attack with his own sword.
Naraku grinned and drew his sword back. "I see the mutt has some bite to go with his bark."
"Why you!" Inu Yasha charged at Naraku.
Inu Yasha tried to hit him, but Naraku parried every attack. Inu Yasha tried numerous amounts of time, but nothing seemed to work at all. Naraku used his free hand and punched him in the eyes making him go temporarily blind. He was still standing, but he was staggering a bit.
"Inu Yasha!" Kagome yelled when she saw that he was temporarily blind.
"Stay there you baka! This is my fight!" He yelled at Kagome. 'I don't know why,' he thought, 'but I can't loose her, and I won't.'
Naraku gave the final blow to Inu Yasha. He stuck his sword through Inu Yasha right where Koga's attack wound was causing it to be reopened and more serious than it was before. He pulled at his sword and put it in its sheath.
"Next time girl, its your turn." Right in thin air, Naraku vanished.
Kagome ran over to Inu Yasha who was still standing, but holding his stomach in pain.
"Inu Yasha, are you okay?!" Kagome asked worriedly.
"Keh, I'm fine, what time is it?" He asked.
"Around eight hours after midday." Kagome said.
"Damn it!" He yelled.
"What is it?!" She asked him.
"Its nothing, now I'm going to be, and don't anyone dare come in." Inu Yasha said. He turned around and walked off.
Kagome looked at Rika and Kaito, they were both very worried about Inu Yasha. "Something's not right." Kagome said under her breath so no one could hear her.
*******
Later that night, Kagome was still up. It was around midnight, and she kept feeling weary about Inu Yasha being all right.
Kagome slipped on her robe. "I don't care what he says, I've got to check up on him!"
Kagome walked to the next door to Inu Yasha's room. She quietly opened the door and gasped at what she saw. Se could tell if that was Inu Yasha or not. She got a little closer and realized that it was Inu Yasha, but he looked human. No claws or ears, and his hair had even changed.
When she got by his bedside, she realized that he was still bleeding, and the wound hadn't healed at all. She put a hand on his forehead and took it quickly away, he was burning up, and Kagome noticed that he was quite pale looking.
Without thinking, she ran into his bathroom and got first aid supplies. She removed his shirt and tried to blush and she wrapped up his chest. Kagome got a small pale of cold water and a rag. She dipped the rag in the water and rested it on his forehead, every half an hour changing the cloth, and cleaning up his wound.
Kagome felt his pulse. It was very weak and seemed to be getting weaker.
"No!" Kagome said quietly. "Come on Inu Yasha, you can't die on me!"
His breaths were short a jagged. He would take some large breaths, and then wince in pain as he exhaled them. Around five minutes later, Kagome checked and he wasn't breathing at all, and she only felt a pulse every thirty seconds.
"Inu Yasha!" Kagome cried loudly waking up everyone.
Seconds later everyone came running into the room. Rika and Kaito ran up to Inu Yasha's bedside.
"Kaito, carrying him to the medical ward, he needs to get stitched up." Rika demanded.
She turned to Kagome. "Thank you, if you hadn't checked on him, he would have been dead."
Kagome looked at his bed, which was covered in blood. She started to take the sheets off, the blood even soaked through to the mattress.
"What will we do about that?" Kagome asked Rika.
Rika looked at the mattress. "I'll take it to the cleaner, those sheets are ruined, just throw them out, we have plenty of spares."
"Are you okay Kagome?" Sango asked.
Kagome nodded and remembered something from earlier. "Would you come to my room, I know it's late, but I need to talk to you about something.
Sango shrugged. "Sure."
When Kagome walked by Miroku, she tapped his arm and winked. He smiled, as he knew what she was going to talk about.
******
"What is it Kagome?" Sango asked as she sat down in a chair in Kagome's room.
"Its about Miroku." Kagome told her.
Sango glared at her sister. "What about him?"
"His curse.."
Kagome went on explaining what Miroku had told her. She could tell that in Sango's eyes there was pity and guilt in them. Sango was guilty for yelling at Miroku without him giving her a full explanation.
"I-I don't know what to say." Sango said. "I never knew, its was like that."
"He also told me that if he didn't have the curse, then he wouldn't touch you. He doesn't want to touch you, but he doesn't have much control over his hand."
Sango stood up. "I need sometime to think." She stood up and left the room.
Sango started to cry. "I don't want him to do die."
"Thank you." A voice said behind her.
"Miroku!"
"I'll add your name to my speech." He told her.
Sango looked at him. "What speech?"
"My death speech." Miroku said.
"You have a death speech? You still have time left-"
Miroku started to raise his voice. "Sango, I have less than two weeks left! How am I supposed to fall in love in two weeks and get married?! Plus I would have to meet someone first! It would take a month at least just to find someone!"
Sango looked down at the ground and started to cry.
Miroku walked up to her. "Sango," he said while reaching his hand out to wipe away her tears. "What's wrong-"
Sango jerked her head up and showed Miroku her face that was currently covered in tears. "What about me?!" She exclaimed. "Did you ever think about me?! I know you, I may not have known you for long, but that doesn't mean I won't try to have a relationship in the next two weeks! I haven't gave up on you yet, so you don't give up on me! Understand?"
Miroku stepped forward and embraced Sango in a gentle hug. "Thank you," he said. He pulled away. "I now have a second chance." The both looked into each others eyes and their faces slowly drew closer and closer.
"Ahem!" Kagome cleared her throat. "I'm sorry to interrupt your romantic moment, but I need to have a word with Miroku."
Miroku pulled away slightly blushing and tuned towards Kagome. "What did you want to ask me Lady Kagome?"
"Its about Inu Yasha, he looked human tonight, and his wound wasn't healing very well, do you know what wrong with him?" She asked.
"First off, Inu Yasha isn't a youkai, he's a hanyou. Hanyou's turn human every new moon, tonight was his night, so he lost his youkai powers and features and turned humans. Its opposite on the full moon for him though. His demon blood takes over and turns him into a demon. His mother and father have to put him in a special room. He's killed people before, so they have to lock him up." Miroku told her.
"I knew he was a hanyou, but I didn't know the other details, thanks for the details." Kagome said. She turned around and headed for the medical ward.
*******
By the time Kagome got to the medical ward, it was almost sunrise. She found Inu Yasha awake, but human, sitting up in his medical bed.
"Inu Yasha, are you-"
Right before her eyes, he started to change back into a hanyou. His hair and eyes change form black and violet to silver and gold. His fingernails turned to claws, and his human ears disappeared while his dog-ears popped back up in their normal spot.
He stood up out of bed and looked over at Kagome. "I-I can explain!" he told her, worried, that she still didn't know what was going on.
Kagome smiled at him and walked to him so she could start playing with his ears. "Don't worry, I already know." She said while playing with his ears as they twitched every so often as they picked up a new sound.
"And." he said waiting to see what she thought.
Kagome took her hands away from his ears and wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him. "And, I think your cuter when you're a hanyou, you have ears!" Kagome giggled. "I know that's not what you meant." Kagome backed away, and moved closer so that her forehead was touching his along with their noses touching. Kagome could feel his breath on her face. "I don't care what you are, youkai, hanyou, or human, I like Inu Yasha because he's Inu Yasha, I don't care about your abnormal strength and features, I like you because of your personality." Kagome leaned forward and gave him a small kiss.
Kagome pulled away. "Sorry, but I need some food! I'm starving! I'll see you latter Chiisai Inu!"
"I'm not a little dog!" Inu Yasha yelled. He stood there and placed a hand to his lips. 'She kissed me.' he thought. 'And this time it wasn't an accident. Does that mean she likes me maybe, a bit more than I friend?'
******
Kagome stopped right before she entered the kitchen. "Did I just hear Inu Yasha in my head!?" Kagome exclaimed.
******
'I think I may be, may be starting to fall in love with her.' Inu Yasha thought.
******
Kagome just stood there as she heard what Inu Yasha thought right inside of her head.
