The Miko Switch



Chapter IV

Disclaimer: No, Inuyasha doesn't belong to me! I swear!!!!!

Summary: Kagome and Kikyou switch bodies. To switch back, they must meet at the tree where Kikyou pinned Inuyasha 50 years ago after one month. But what if Kikyou does not want to switch back?

KIKYOU

"Inuyasha, I think I left my bag in the forest," I lied to Inuyasha as we were walking toward a village. Actually, Sesshy and I were meeting. He promised to make sure Kagome was nowhere in sight. So now, I had to have an alibi so Inuyasha won't be suspicious.

"I'll get it," Inuyasha insisted. "Kagome. . . "

"And if you meet Kikyou?" I asked him sharply. "No way, Inuyasha. Anyway, I have defense." I motioned to my bow and arrow.

"Inuyasha, let Kagome-sama go," Miroku said smoothly. "She's right, if you meet Kikyou, you'll end up lost."

Inuyasha reddened. "Shut up, Miroku!"

Sango grabbed hold on Inuyasha arms, and so did Miroku. Shippou used a charm to keep Inuyasha on the floor.

"Lemme go!" Inuyasha yelled, trying to escape. But the charm was unbreakable unless Shippou wanted it, and both Sango and Miroku pulled Inuyasha.

"Hurry, Kagome-chan!" Sango yelled as they dragged a wriggling Inuyasha.

I smiled faintly and said goodbye then ran to the forest.

Soon I felt a very familiar aura. Too familiar. Suddenly my senses realized it was Naraku. I immediately jumped up on a tree as Naraku came on view, dragging his stupid baboon pelt, face half-hidden.

"Kagome? The reincarnation?" Naraku called. "I know you're here, so come out." I snickered. Even the great Naraku did not realize who I was. I suddenly noticed Sesshomaru, then. . .

WHAM!

Naraku was unconscious.

"He let his guard down too much," Sesshomaru sneered. "Oi, Kikyou, get down here."

I smiled and jumped down. "Hello, Sesshomaru."

He motioned to the unconscious Naraku. "We better get out of here. One of Naraku's slaves'll be here soon."

"You're not going to finish him?" I asked incredulously. "Who are you and where is the real Sesshomaru?"

"It'll take too much time," Sesshomaru said defensively. "Come on."

Sesshomaru grabbed me and we reappeared in a lake, and there stood Rin and Jaken.

"Kikyou-neechan!" Rin squealed, and hugged me. "Rin so glad to see you!"

"Kikyou glad too," I told her, smiling. "So, Sesshy, your report?" Sesshomaru turned to Rin.

"Rin, go back to the hut." Rin obeyed, and Jaken followed Rin. Sesshomaru turned to me. "She's very sad and lonely," Sesshomaru said. "I think you're being too harsh."

I laughed at that. "And now you're being soft. First Naraku then the bitch. Oooh, who are you, really?" Sesshomaru ignored me and asked me something I expected he'll ask sooner or later."

"Well, so what is your plan, Kikyou? It obviously changed. Your old plan was to send Kagome's soul to yours and kill Kagome."

"My current plan is to make Inuyasha fall in love with me," I told him. "Or, should I say, me in Kagome's body. He will forget Kagome in my body and soon, I will order the Shinidama-chuu to stop giving Kagome souls. Then she will die, and I will rule in Inuyasha's heart. Then I'll reveal who I am."

"Nice plan," Sesshomaru said in a whisper. "But Kikyou, you've forgotten one thing."

"What is it?"

"Well, don't you think Inuyasha will be furious when he finds out you've been using Kagome's body all along?"

"Then I'll go back to my body, but Kagome will be dead," I answered smoothly. "My body is truly dead, you see."

"You do know that will create more anger at you."

"Sesshomaru, Sesshomaru. Always cautious, eh? Don't worry, I have plenty of back-up plans."

"Kikyou, Kikyou. Always the more evil one," Sesshomaru said in his cold voice.

I rolled my eyes. Seriously, Sesshomaru hates when people get better than him. Even if it's something as stupid as the one more evil. "Don't worry, you surpass me in that part," I told him dryly. "I do better in planning, however. Like Inuyasha, you just jump in something and don't bother anything else. You always believe you'll win, don't you?"

"Shut up," Sesshomaru said angrily. "Well, I better go."

I looked at him curiously. "Why, may I ask?"

"Your reincarnation is a weak one," Sesshomaru replied. "See, I'm taking care of her for now. I wouldn't want her to die yet, we need her for further torture."

"Now I know you're the old Sesshy," I said, grinning. "Take care of my body, please. She'll be fine soon, my souls can refill anyone as quick as a snap."

"Fine then." Sesshomaru returned me to the forest, and I decided to go back to the village where we were staying. But Naraku was there.

"Hello, Kagome," He said darkly. "I realize that your friend has knocked me unconscious, but I have awakened. I'm thankful to whoever it was, for he didn't finish me. Well, now I shall take you."

I couldn't help but smile. This body was better than my old dead one; I wasn't in constant fear that my souls would get sucked out.

I grabbed my arrow and bow then aimed for Naraku's heart.

KAGOME

"Where am I?" I muttered, awakening. I had a really bad dream, about Kikyou and Inuyasha. I shuddered. I looked at my surroundings. I was in a small hut, sleeping in a small straw bed and covered in a mattress. I was wearing Kikyou's clothes.

So I was still Kikyou. I sighed.

"Are you awake, Kagome?" asked a small voice. I turned to see Rin, Sesshomaru's human friend.

"Yes, Rin," I replied. "Where's Sesshomaru?"

"He went out to visit Kikyou," she replied, smiling.

"VISIT KIKYOU?!" I said, shocked.

"Yeah, they're friends," Rin said, backing away. My outburst had obviously shocked her.

"Gomen," I told her softly. Jaken came inside, grumbling about taking care of a human.

"You're awake," Jaken said rudely. "Get out and get your own water."

I got annoyed. Who did Jaken think he was? Rin went out to fetch water as I punched the heck out of Jaken.

"Who the heck do you think you are?" I screeched, clawing him.

"I didn't know you were so ferocious," said Sesshomaru. I turned to realize that Sesshomaru had been standing behind me for a while. I blushed.

"Sorry, I just lost control."

"I expected it. Sometimes it happens to Rin."

"Oh."

"Humans are so strange."

"Youkai are stranger."

"Hmm."

"Can you bring me to Inuyasha?"

KIKYOU

I had hit Naraku. Naraku growled, and it turned out it was really him. I saw him wince, and then he disappeared.

"Coward."

I saw in the corner of my eye an Inuyasha.

"KAGOME! Daijobu ka?" He asked, eyes full of concern.

"Hai."

"I knew we shouldn't have let you go alone," Inuyasha said. Behind him were Shippou, Sango and Miroku.

"I'm fine, Inuyasha!" I said, a bit annoyed.

"Did you find your bag?" Shippou asked.

"No, didn't," I said sadly. "Someone probably took it."

"So must you go to your world to get some stuff?" Sango inquired.

"I won't be able to tell my Mom I lost that much," I lied.

"I see."

Suddenly a brilliant red light was seen.

WHAM!
