Inuyasha
A Mile in Their Shoes
Chapter 4: In the Shell of My Adversary/ Kikyou's Day at school
"What an unusual turn of events indeed." Kikyou pondered. Contemplating the recent incident. She was now trapped in the smaller body of her reincarnation.
"Yeah, and I particularly, am not happy about it in any way." Kagome replied cynically, hands on her hips. The antecedent actually looked adorable with a pouting face. Inuyasha cracked a toothy smile. He finds the situation quite hilarious (and cute, too) yet he is fully aware of any possible consequences. That demon? Who was she? Is she a progeny of Naraku? Or it could be worse: was she a bigger threat than the fiend in mind? Even if it may be, it wasn't the first time for a villain to surface who is more threatening than Naraku. Reflect on Menoumaru and Kaguya for instance. "Kikyou who was that?" He questioned, prompting Kikyou to gaze at him seriously before she gave him a reply.
"Inuyasha I know of nothing about her. Yet I do recall that she mentioned that she's assisting us."
Kagome was shaken by Kikyou's answer. "She's helping us?" She asked incredulously. "How is she helping us?" A look of innocence etched on Kikyou's delicate face. "I am as uncertain just as much as you are. Although I know for a fact that it is almost like she's testing us." Kikyou replied objectively.
"Oh and I do not like tests." Kagome muttered caustically. Then a thought popped up in her mind. Inuyasha's wasn't going to like this one bit. "Yeah. Speaking of tests. . ." Inuyasha gave her a hot glare when he caught on to what she was saying.
"Oh no you don't Kagome!" You're staying here. Besides we have to figure out how to return you and Kikyou back to normal." The bastard.
Kagome pouted. "Aw! But I have a major exam tomorrow."
"No!"
"Please Inuyasha. I've completed those make up assignments and they're due tomorrow as well. Inuyasha, I must go." She implored.
"Come on Inuyasha if she has something important to tend to then let her be." Sangou inclined.
"Feh." The girls took it as a 'yes.'
"Yes! Allow me to treat you guys to an afternoon snack before I leave for my time." She took a glance at Kikyou. "You can come along too."
"I rather not." Kikyou replied, callously.
"You don't really have a choice, Kikyou. I don't like this just as much as you do. And I. . ." Resentment gathered in her voice. ". . .have to go to school in your body." Kagome clarified. Inuyasha and Miroku smiled mischievously at her explanation, making her curious of what crossed their minds. She hoped that they weren't thinking what she was thinking.
"Get your heads out of the gutter you two." She scoffed. Halos appeared on the monk's and the hanyou's head as they as they simulated innocence.
"Very well." Kikyou conceded. "For once I will cooperate with all of you in order to get this situation back to customary." A cynical thought conjured in her mind.
'I thought that demon mentioned that I'll meet Inuyasha and that girl in a matter of days. Oh well.'
At the hut Kagome was preparing victuals for the gang. She still had some fresh deli sandwiches, ramen, and fruit punch remaining in her bag. They were sitting patiently for the food to prepare. Kikyou, on the other hand was sitting smugly in a corner with an air of insecurity around her. Maybe she shouldn't, but Kagome had a sudden urge to approach and try to comfort her. "Kikyou, would you like anything to eat? My stomach's probably grumbling right about now."
"No thanks. I'm fine." Kikyou replied sullenly. Kagome pouted at her response. Was Kikyou still as stubborn as a smart ass little girl. Well technically she is but this is just straight ridiculous. With a sigh, Kagome resumed with preparing the food. "Wait." Kikyou signaled with her lips curling into a smile. She is so unpredictable.
"If it's not too much to ask." She stammered. "May I have some tea?" The sweet smile was still displayed on her face. Kagome was now staring at her own pleasantly blessed face and now knew why a lot of young men her age chases her around. She went over to the cooler and fished out a can of tea. "Here. Enjoy." Kagome smiled as she gave Kikyou the can of Brisk. Kikyou scrutinized the container with uncertainty. "How do I dispense the fluid from the container?"
"Oh. Just lift the end of that tab until it pops open." Instructed Kagome.
"Hey Kagome. Are the ramen done yet?" Snapped Inuyasha.
"Do I look like your personal laborer to you?"
"No. You look like Kikyou." Inuyasha snickered sarcastically, making her aware that he was doing so again. Ignoring the hanyou's petty laughter she went back to tending the steaming bowls of instant ramen. Shippou hopped from Sangou's shoulder to assist Kagome and it was a good thing he did too. Kagome bent over. . .way over in order to stir into the bowls. Fortunately she was in Kikyou's body but the half breed and the monk began staring at her as she did this. Sangou clasped her hand over Miroku's eyes to block his vision. Kagome finally noticed Inuyasha was smiling and blushing furiously at her bending form, oblivious to him.
'Why is he gawking at me like that?' She thought. 'Phew, It's a good thing I'm not wearing my school clothes. Otherwise, I would of flashed him.' Then it finally dawned on her and she made a indignant burlesque expression at it too. He was gaping at what she thought he never seen Kikyou do in front of him. The fool was enjoying it too! He's still attracted to Kikyo! He was staring at her. . .
"Hey turn your head Inuyasha!" Shouted Kagome, livid with choleric rage.
"I can't help it Kagome. It's all in my face!" The dog boy retorted.
"Inuyasha as flattering as it may be, it is disrespectful to stare at a woman's derriere in such a manner. Especially mine." Kikyou added solemnly sipping her tea.
"Feh." Inuyasha snorted. "It's no wonder that Naraku has a thing for you."
Kkyou threw her tea can and it landed on the back of his head.
"Oww!!"
"Baka."
Kagome witness the scene between Inuyasha and Kikyou and fumed. 'That idiot! If I were to smack him up side his head with a can he'll jump down my throat!' And speaking of throats, an evil idea appeared in her head. Devil horns grew at her head as she went to dig inside her duffel bag again. 'Now where could it be. . . Aha! Here it is.' It was a bottle of hot sauce. Not an ordinary one either. It was produced straight out of the spice crops of Brazil. With that in mind, one must always be prepared to have a bowl of ice or at least a gallon of water to cool off. 'Musashi has just became a little hotter.' She grinned as she poured the contents into a bowl of ramen. A little cliche but still will haul in the laughs.
"Ah it must be a new flavor." Inuyasha said as he caught the scent.
"Yeah. It smells delicious." Shippou praised.
The hanyou was easily falling into her trap as she passed out the bowls. "Bon Appetite." Sangou and Kikyou were meditating in grace. Inuyasha and Miroku were chomping away on their ramen. Shippou was innocently sipping at his fruit punch and Kagome starts to cackle mischievously.
*BURP* "Man, is it getting hot in here or what? Aye Kagome lemme get a soda pop from ya."
Kagome smirked. "You're sure that one can's enough, Inuyasha?" Inuyasha began to sweat. "Yeah it's enough wench. Shit is it getting hot to you guys in here or is it just me?" Kikyou and Sangou backed into a corner in alarm at a whistling sound. Fear etched on their faces.
"Whoo! Oh shit! It feels like I'm rotting in hell!!"
"Oh look at this." Kagome fronted revealing the bottle with an evil smirk. "Maybe this explained why you're so hot." Inuyasha gazed at the bottle before explodind and taking off like a rocket through the roof.
"You BIIIIIIAAAAAAAHHHH!!"
Sangou, Miroku, and Shippou raced out of the hut to witness Inuyasha blasting through the air and screaming like a panther along the way.
"Oh. That wasn't very nice." Kikyou sympathized, clutching her ears because of the irritating wailing.
"I know." Kagome remarked with tears streaking her face from hysterical laughter. Kikyou sighed.
"You do these kinds of things to him? He's actually in lo. . ." Her statement was cut off by the sound of an explosion. The exchanged girls rushed out the hut to see a huge mushroom cloud in the mountains far off in the distance.
"You're mean." Kikyou chided.
"Will he be okay?" Sangou inquired worriedly.
"I dunno." Kagome replied, sympathy seeping into her voice. Until that unmistakably voice shouted in the far off mountains.
"KAGOMEEEEEEE!!!"
"Well that answers that. Well I'll be on my way back to my era. Ciao!" She exclaimed in a hurry.
"Do not worry. Inuyasha's maybe choleric but he wouldn't dare to inflict you any pain. Besides, he loves you." Kikyou stated reverently. Kagome was surprise at Kikyou's last words. Kikyou. . .is she finally accepting the fact that Inuyasha is in love with Kagome? Reluctantly, she finally makes her way to the mystical well.
* * *
Kagome hoisted herself out of the Bone Eaters well and sealed it shut just in case Inuyasha want to show up and curse her out because of the hot sauce incident. She arrived back at her house in modern day Tokyo. Temporarily free from the inconvenience of the Sengoku Jidai she took in a whiff of the evening skies. Ah. Air pollution. The gradual onslaught of the earth's atmosphere. Life certainly has it's up and downs.
"Mama! I'm home!"
"Welcome back dear." Ms. Higurashi greeted in a sanguineous tone coming from the kitchen. She was struck flabbergast as she took in her daughter's feature's "Do I know you, young lady?"
"What? Mama it's me." Apparently Kagome had forgotten the fact that she's in Kikyou's body.
"My. Kagome you've certainly have become taller since you left." Ms. Higurashi criticized. "What have you been eating back in the past? Or have you and you friend, Inuyasha been doing the 'thing' lately?"
"Mama! I, oh. . ." She finally remembered her altered appearance. "Well you see, mother, I've been caught up in a little hocus pocus situation back in the Warring Era." Kagome replied sheepishly.
"Wow! Kagome, this must be an ancestor of ours?"
"No, not really. Mama, remember when I was very maudlin and wondered off to the Goshinboku tree. . .well this is the reason why, mother."
Ms. Higurashi pondered for a moment. "My goodness! This must be Inuyasha's other woman. I have to admit, Kagome, she's very beautiful. As a matter of fact, she looks a lot like our first cousin from Hokkaido. I guess this kind of beauty runs in our family, ne?" Ms. Higurashi stated earnestly, pinching her daughter's cheek.
"Yeah. Whatever mother. Say, tomorrow is Friday, right? I lost track from all the time traveling."
"Yes dear. Tomorrow's Friday."
"Thanks mama." Kagome replied and ambled her way upstairs to her room.
Kagome laid on her bed in deep thought. What Kikyou said to her about Inuyasha's feelings for her earlier should have her jumping for joy. Instead, the thoughts became a heavy burden on her. She was certain that she was hearing things but Kikyou was actually talking and looked serious about it. Besides, does she ever kid around about anything. Such a misunderstood soul indeed. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of knocking at her room door.
"Souta, I know it's you. Come in."
"Kagome you bought back any souvenirs back with you? I heard. . . you know, I think time traveling is starting to takes it's toll on you. You look like you aged a few years." The boy ranted.
Kagome put up a front. "Souta? You remember on those Saturday morning cartoons you be watching and a funny accident happens due to the main characters?. . ."
Souta arched a brow. "You got plastic surgery. To be honest, it's a improvement to you."
A vein popped up at her temple. "No you dolt! You know when two people have a swithcheroo on those lame science fiction cartoons you be watching." She grimaced as a thought came to mind. "Ew! Did you say plastic surgery in a show you saw!? Souta what the heck you've been watching?"
"Late night anime and shows on Comedy Central." Souta replied.
"You need to take your ass to bed early, Souta. Shoo! Scram! Get out of her you lewd joker, you." Souta retreated out of her room muttering something about crash dummies for an older sister.
"I heard that!"
"Blow me!" Souta retorted from down the hall.
"Why you mannish little creep! I'm going to tell mama first thing in the morning!"
"Okay! Okay! I stop my ways! Please don't tell mama, Kagome." Souta pleaded.
"That's better you man." Kagome accused in a motherly fashion. "Now take your little ass to bed."
The next day is going to be crazy.
The following morning, Kagome scrutinized herself in the mirror. Her school dress felt a little tight and it was okay. "Gosh, for a miko, Kikyou has a rather toned body. She must have been very observant about her health and dam. . .Ew! What am I thinking!? I out of here." Without hesitation she snatched her backpack off her bed, skipped breakfast and made her way to school. She was eager to get this day over with.
"Whoa! Is she new?"
"Daaaaaamn!"
"Amazon!"
"~I like it how you do that right thurr!~"
Kagome's face were red from blushing and embarrassment. Almost every boy at school were swooning at her today. Why should she care anyway? It's Kikyou's body after all. She just hope that she didn't ran into Hojou today.
"Kagome!" It wasn't Hojou, but it was everyone favorite trio of inquisitive girls. Eri, Yuka, and Ayami. Oh god, here comes drama.
"Hey girl! You look different today." Ayumi greeted.
"Must be her diabetes acting up." Eri commented.
"You've been working out in the gym, haven't you? You do so in order to cope with your illnesses. Good notion Kagome. It done wonders for you." Yuka added. This is not what Kagome needed right about now.
"I'm in a bad mood, but I'll live." Kagome replied.
"Bad mood!? I wouldn't be in any bad mood if I were as healthy and resilient as you Kagome."
Kagome ignored Eri's comment and continued her way to class.
"That's a big bitch!" Another male voice screamed from afar.
Oh what a day. . .
Kagome sat callously on her desk in math class. Today her math teacher was absent and now the class can pretty much do whatever the hell they wanted to do after solving equations at the chalkboard. The substitute teacher was a young man, a sophomore in college. A young woman finished her equation at the board and returned to her seat. Thus plenty of the boys was whooping and wolf whistling at the girl, much to the young lady's annoyance. The teacher went over her equation and confirmed it was correct.
"Thank you, Azumi san. Your answer proved correct." Mr. Kazuya stated.
'Perverts. All of them.' Kagome thought bitterly.
"Now for the next equation. . ."
'They really need to get their minds out the gutter.'
"The next person to approach this equation is. . ."
'Curse her! Why does Kikyou had to have such a alluring body!?" Kagome thought disdainfully.
"Ms. Kagome Higurashi."
'I bet most of these boys here will go home and give themselves hand jobs thinking about this wretched body!'
"Um, Kagome. You're up. Don't worry this is the last equation." Mr. Kazuya reassured.
'Damn! Of all my luck!' She stood up from her desk and approached the board. A chorus of "YEAH!!" from the boys followed. Kagome surveyed the book and looked for the last equation and nearly fainted. It was horrible! It was one of the longest algebraic problem she has ever seen. She cursed her luck. She hastily began working on it. So far so good. . .
"Man it looks like she may have to bend over to finish that problem." A boy whispered to one of his peers.
"Yeah. I know."
"Hey dawg. Take out a camera. We're gonna make front page."
"You're doing good so far. Ms. Higurashi." Kazuya complimented. "But you must finish that last little part of the problem."
'Hell no!' Kagome thought fearfully. "Um, Mr. Kazuya. I don't think I can answer the last part. It's kinda tricky." Pleaded Kagome.
"Of course you can Kagome. You're doing better than most of the class has done so far. I'll say algebra is definitely your forte. I bet your trying to surprise us." Mr. Kazuya explained.
Give the class a surprise indeed. . .
'Oh what the hell I know this. Here goes nothing.' She grimaced before bending over to solve the problem. She damn sure did surprised the class. She flashed them!
"Yeah!!"
"~ She'll be coming around the mountain when she comes!~"
"Kagome!! Ew!"
"Bend over and show the world!!"
"Um..." Kazuya stammered. "You're correct Ms. Higurashi."
"That's a big bitch!!"
'All of you perverts go to hell!'
Hours later, it finally came for the school's dismissal of students. Kagome walked through the hallway with an annoyed look on her face. Thanks to the motley crew of high school boys stalking her and handind her roses, candy, and their phone numbers at her. Yet, she was relived that dumbass Hojou was absent today. It wasn't no telling how he'll react. She dismissed herself from the conversation of her "friendly trio" and promised to call them later. She must hurry as soon as possible before she gets kidnapped or something.
Kagome finally made it home. In record timing that is. Kikyou's body is surprisingly fast too. Must be when her and Inuyasha used to play in the forest. Oh well. . .
"I'm home. . ." Kagome greeted in a somber tone.
"Baby. You're home. How was your day at school?" Ms. Higurashi inquired.
"Mama, it was rough. I mean, there was guys chasing me more than usual today. Thanks to this body!" Kagome replied contemptuously.
Ms. Higurashi chuckled at her daughter's plight. "Like I said yesterday, it runs in the family. Have some pride in your heritage, Kagome." The phone began to ring. Kagome's mother went over to the phone and answered it. "Hello? Oh, it's for you, Kagome."
Curiously Kagome took the phone. "Hello?"
Ms. Higurashi looked on with a grin on her face.
"Hey! How did you get my number? Tanaka!? I don't know anyone named Tanaka! Huh? What am I wearing!!?" Ms. Higurashi cackled at her raging daughter. Kagome cursing into the phone was quite funny.
The conversation continued. "Hey D.T. wants to have a word with you." Kagome stated false pleasantly with an evil grin on her face.
"Who's D.T.?"
"Hold on." Kagome angrily slammed the phone back on the hook.
"Ha! That's D.T. bitch! Stupid lechers!" She suddenly realized she cursed in front of her mother and clasped a hand over her mouth remorsefully. Ms. Higurashi burst out in laughter.
"You're just like me when I was younger dear. Ah. How I missed my high school years." Ms. Higurashi sighed nostalgically.
"Mama. I'm going back to the Sengoku Jidai and rectify this problem once and for all." Kagome swore before leaving the house.
"That's a big bitch!" A voice shouted from outside the window. Kagome grabbed a empty glass bottle and threw it out the window, ultimately knocking the peeping Tom unconscious.
"Ow!!!"
Kagome resumed on her way out the house to the well house.
"Have fun dear!"
* * *
Kagome pulled herself out of the well back in feudal Japan. Anxious to find a way to return to her body she begins to stomp her way back to the hut. She hoped someone had come up with an idea by now. Suddenly a gust of wind caught her skirt from behind.
'Uh oh! Girl your skirt is up! Skirt up! Someone could be looking!' The gale stopped and she hastily smoothed back down her skirt and looked around for any sign of lecturers. No sign. Good. She resumed on her path back to the village.
Until the blast of wind occurred again. 'Ah!!! Not again!!' The wind ceased again and she flattened her skirt for a second time afterwards. Just her luck, because someone is peeping on her. She hard the snickering of two males behind a dense bushed a few meters away from the well.
"What he saw and it was good." Said the voice. It was obviously Inuyasha!
Kagome was livid with rage. "Whoever's doing that better 'SIT' their asses down!!"
"ARGH!!"
*WHAM*
"Ouch. . ."
Kagome walked over passed the bushes and saw Inuyasha kissing the ground and Miroku with a philandering grin on his face. "Damn wench! You're no fun!!" Inuyasha retorted as he recovered from the spell.
"Inuyasha who did you do that?"
"Do what? This?" He went behind Kagome and inhaled and exhaled a gust of wind. Big Bad Wolf style. Kagome yelp and cover her upper thighs with her arms. Inuyasha ceased the minor tempest.
"Yeah, that!!??" Kagome retorted in a choleric tone.
"Feh. You're so dumb Kagome. You should know by now that some of my powers hails from the wind. You know, the Kaze No Kize, the Bakuryuuha. . ."
"Sit!! Sit that ass down!! SIT!! SIT!!! OSUWARI!!! GOD DAMN IT! OSSUUUUUUWAAAAAAARRIIIIII!!!"
Inuyasha cursed and began doing a funny dance before he fell through the earth and showed up in the New World. Damn!!
"And you!?. . ." Kagome directed her wrath at Miroku.
"Who? Me?" Miroku asked sheepishly.
Kagome charged at the monk and nearly knocked him into orbit. He became a falling star in the skies.
"Hmph. Serves you right you perverts."
A/N: Man! Kagome's acting a fool today! She ain't playing the radio!! Anyway fellow readers with enough reviews I'll update it A.S.A.P. I'm out.
