The Miko Switch

Chapter XIV

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? INU/KAG KIK/SESS

KAGOME

The talk with Sesshomaru made me feel a lot better. And I should have understood how much Kikyou meant to him. She was the part of his life that gave light. With a small smile, I returned to the village.

"Kagome! Where have you been?" Kaede cried as I entered her hut. "I had the entire village searching for you!"

I smiled. "You shouldn't have, Kaede-san. I was just thinking away about everything's that happened."

"So, what will you do?" Shippou asked curiously.

I smiled happily. "I'll meet Kikyou."

"Nani?" Shippou asked, horrified. "Kagome, she already has Sango and Miroku! Don't play into her hands!"

I looked at the ground, knowing it would be hard to explain this.

However, Kaede simply silenced Shippou. "I trust my sister, Kagome. She will do nothing to harm you," and with that, she gave Shippou a tender look.

Shippou sighed. "What made you change your mind, then?"

I smiled to myself. "Someone persuaded me to give Kikyou a chance. And I trust that person." I laughed. I trust Sesshomaru? Well, he was sort of nice to me when we talked.

I saw Inuyasha walking towards us, looking worried. When he reached us, he exclaimed, "Kagome! You're alright!"

"Why wouldn't she be?" Shippou asked defiantly.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Get off, runt."

"I'm meeting Kikyou, okay, Inuyasha?" I said, wondering what his reaction was.

He smiled. "Good."

"Well, you'd better get some rest. You have only one week left with Kikyou's body and you better be strong before you meet," Kaede chirped, and led me away to her hut.

Shippou and Inuyasha followed, bickering away.

I looked up. Soon everything will be alright.

KIKYOU

I was going to meet Kagome today. I smiled.

"Good luck, Kikyou," Sango called out.

I turned to her. "Thanks."

"No pranks," Miroku said half-cautiously, half-teasing. I laughed.

"Of course." I fixed my dress and loosened Kagome's hair. I had worn it in a ponytail for sometime now, and I had a quickly released it off. Now I looked just like Kagome, however I was wearing my dress. I picked up Kagome's clothes.

"You're going to return her clothes to her, now?" Sango asked curiously. I nodded.

"She would certainly want them back."

"Is it only you and Kagome meeting?" Miroku questioned. "No Inuyasha and Sesshomaru?" I looked at him, confused.

"Why would they come? It has nothing to do with them," I said. I smiled. "Inuyasha told me yesterday it was Sesshomaru who convinced Kagome to come along."

"Did you tell him you knew?"

"No. He seemed so happy yesterday, I didn't want to burst his bubble."

"Why would he be happy?"

"He's made me happy, that's why." I blushed a bit, cursing my frankness.

Miroku and Sango nudged each other, but told me nothing.

"See you," I called out, and went on my way.

Soon I reached the clearing in the forest. I sat on a small stone, waiting patiently.

After about two minutes, Kagome came sweeping out. She saw me, and smiled.

"Hello, Kikyou," she greeted.

I smiled back, and rose from my seat. "Hello, Kagome."
