The Miko Switch



Chapter VI

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?

KAGOME

"Kikyou!" I gasped, eyes wide. Sango, Miroku and Shippou looked at the bedraggled Kouga as Inuyasha and I stared at Kikyou.

Kikyou's eyes were a blazing inferno. If she looked murderous before, it was nothing compared to what she looked now. Her eyes were dark and dangerous, she was seething and the way she touched her bow and arrow was a scary sight.

"I HATE YOU!" Kikyou yelled, tears streaming down her face. "The two of you will pay, dearly!"

"Kikyou, I. . . " I began.

"No. You are not to talk," Kikyou said, eyes fiery. "Don't you know what I've gone through for years? Hated by people who loved me before, forgotten by humans who used to respect me, losing friends because I was DEAD! I was just an EMPTY BODY!" Kikyou gulped, eyes swollen. "I can't even talk to my own sister! I'm constantly chased by people who suspect me for doing something! I was hated because I took souls!

"My entire life was wonderful till I met Onigumo. After that, I had died, pinning Inuyasha to the tree. I had lost my love, but I decided it was my destiny for that to happen. I thought then that I would just be remembered as the woman who released the evil of the Shikon no Tama. I burned it along with myself.

"Then you came along, Kagome!" Kikyou yelled at me. I was shocked beyond words as Kikyou continued her story. "You came, you brought the Shikon no Tama, you spelled trouble for this place again! You made Youkai constantly ruin villages, you made people die, and most of all, you revived me!"

"How could have she-" Miroku began furiously, but Kikyou interrupted.

"Urasue revived me, didn't she? AND WHAT DID URASUE WANT? The Shikon no Tama! She revived me for cruel intentions, but I did not heed her. And who brought the Shikon no Tama here? THE BITCH! Then I found about Inuyasha and everything that happened about Naraku. See? If you never came along, I would have died peacefully, and I wouldn't be carrying the guilt of pinning Inuyasha to the tree!" Kikyou screamed hysterically. "Everything went wrong when you came here!

"Everyone used to regard me as perfect. When I died, they still respected me. But no. You came, and soon people saw you as a replacement, then soon they saw you as me myself! You are just a stupid reincarnation who stole my life. Everyone forgot me, they're always worried about Kagome-sama," Kikyou said sarcastically. "Look at you. You have friends, family, everything in your own world. Why do you have to come here? Can't you be satisfied with your own part of the world? I already have little, and you come try to take that away! You try to get friends here, you try to get my family, you try to get MY everything!

"When I exchanged bodies with you, I felt so happy! I had friends, I had people who cared for me. I thought I could live happily as you. It was my life before. And you have stolen my life. So Kagome Higurashi, you will be very sorry," Kikyou ended, her body trembling.

Kikyou collapsed then. I turned to look at Inuyasha, who had a panic- stricken look.

"I'm sorry, Kikyou," he murmured softly. He went to pick up Kikyou, when Sesshomaru reappeared.

My friends gasped. I looked at Sesshomaru.

"Are you taking her now?" I asked him. My friends looked at me, they didn't get why I was talking to Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru glared at me. "Hn." Then he grabbed Kikyou and they disappeared.

"HEY! Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha yelled. "Where are you bringing Kikyou?!"

"Leave him alone, Inuyasha," I ordered.

"Huh?" My friends (including Kouga) looked at me shocked.

"But Kagome. . . " Inuyasha began. Kouga gasped.

"Kagome? But that was Kagome!' Kouga said frantically, pointing to where Kikyou had collapsed.

Sango and Miroku explained the switch as Kouga looked broken into pieces.

KIKYOU

"Uhhh," I groaned.

"Kikyou? Daijobu?" I heard a familiar voice ask. I realized that it was Sesshomaru.

"Hai," I replied.

"I hope you aren't too broken," Sesshomaru said pointedly. "And you shouldn't have exploded like that. I mean, that was totally stupid."

"I know," I said, my eyes teary. "But I couldn't help it. I was just so sad, just so trampled on, just so depressed. I mean, I saw Inuyasha and Kagome KISSING. Even if I had tried everything to get them away from each other." I sighed.

Rin ran to me, carrying big flowers.

"Here, Kikyou-neechan, I heard you were so sad, so I wanted to make you happy," Rin said, putting the flowers on my lap.

I half-smiled. "Thank you, Rin. It makes me feel better."

Jaken looked at me. "Kikyou-sama, you are way better than that reincarnation of yours. She began hurting me a while ago."

I laughed.

Sesshomaru smirked. "Well, I better get going."

I turned to look at him. "Where are you going?"

"To Inuyasha and his group."

"What for?" I asked curiously. "You aren't going there to hurt him because of me, aren't you?"

"No way!" Sesshomaru said furiously. "Why would I do that?"

I smiled to myself. Sesshomaru was so nice. He knew I was really depressed, so he was going to get revenge. He would never admit it, but it was very obvious.

"Well, what are going there for?"

"I visit him every once in a while, you know," Sesshomaru lied. "Going to have that little fight again, the usual."

I grinned. "Have fun, then."

"Oh, I will."

SESSHOMARU

I spotted Inuyasha and his friends. I smirked, then attacked Inuyasha.

"AAH!" Inuyasha yelled, as he got wounded. I had aimed for his stomach, so now he had a large cut.

"Sesshomaru!" Sango growled, and she sent her boomerang at me. I blocked it with my sword.

I immediately aimed for Inuyasha, again, and I wounded him terribly. Soon he could barely stand up.

"Leave him alone!" Kagome yelled. "Why are you doing this?"

"Don't worry, Kikyou did not order this," I reassured them. "This is my own free will. It seems you don't love her, Inuyasha, so I decided I'll take care of her until she returns to her death."

"WHY YOU?!" Inuyasha screeched.

"So are you saying you love her?" I asked.

Inuyasha fell quiet. His friends all looked at him, waiting for an answer.

"I can't say that now," Inuyasha admitted. "But that doesn't give you permission to take care of her!"

"So who will?"

Kagome looked at me with teary eyes. "Sesshomaru, will you kill Inuyasha?"

I smiled at Kagome. "Be thankful that Kikyou loves you, Inuyasha. I cannot finish you for that one reason." I turned to his friends. "But if you take a move to hurt Kikyou, I swear you will die." With that, I returned to Kikyou.

"Did you harm them too much?" Kikyou asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I didn't kill one," I reassured her.

"Good." Kikyou smiled. "Thank you, Sesshomaru."
