Luna: Konnichiwa Minna-san!
Veron: She basically just said hello everybody in a respective manner
Luna: *grin* Anyway, time for yet another chapter! YAY! This has Sango/Miroku fluff in it sorta... I'm not rather good with the couple itself so bear with me.
Veron: She's more the Inu/Kag type actually. But she loves San/Mir pairings just as much.
Luna: I like alot of them. Until you get into the creepy incest and yaoi ones. Yuri's fine, I just can't really see Inu attracted to his own brother for Christ's sake. *Shudders* Zelda yaoi I can handle. But inuyasha yaoi?
Veron: She flinches when she sees it.
Luna: And you scream in a diabolically hysterical manner into your hands so shut up.
Veron... -.-
Luna: Anyway, here is Chapter 11!
BTW: ANGST WARNING! And some romance too ^.~
DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING! NOTHIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!
Except the plot
Chapter 11: You're taking over me...
*~*
Kagome yawned and stretched as she packed her belongings into boxes. Ever since the whole mishap with the black out a good four months before. Sesshomaru had ordered her to move into one of the guestrooms for now. Until she had grasped her bearings again.
The young miko rolled her eyes as she heard a loud thwap and a yell of hentai course through the room. She sighed and opened the sharpie, writing rapidly on the cardboard box.
' Clothes'
Not that she had all that many. Considering, she arrived in this era with a bloody and torn school uniform. That as she had learned had been phased out a good fifty years earlier with a new version. So technically if she mended it and made it look new she could see it as an antique for quite a hefty price.
But moving into Inuyasha's own brothers' home. Inuyasha would've had a fit. Kagome speculated he was most likely rolling over and banging on the boards of his grave at the moment. Or just floating around dangerously on the wind, ripping old trees apart and demolishing poorly built huts. She never really knew if he was buried or cremated. But she never wanted to ask Kagome was afraid of losing it again.
Kikyo had lied. It had been four months and she hadn't seen Inuyasha at all. But she never tried to look for him either. Kagome viciously chucked the empty tape dispenser across the living room and scowled. She'd given up as soon as she had looked in the archives of the old phonebooks in the library.
" Kagome-sama?"
" Daijabou ka?" Sango asked, rushing over to her friend and putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
" Hai. Gomen for worrying you. I'm just stressed out. I don't want to lose my job."
Miroku chuckled and a familiar lecherous grin spread across his face.
" Why Kagome-sama, you are always welcome to begin a job in my establishment."
Kagome raised a brow and answered dryly, " You hentai. Sango's right here you know."
" You think he would..." With that, Sango slammed a nearby empty suitcase upon his head and the past monk fell to the floor unconscious.
Kagome giggled slightly felt like old times actually. Waking up to a hentai and a thwack...
The miko shook her head wildly. Dammit, she didn't need this right now.
" Pack first, mope later..." She murmured as she stacked some boxes atop of one another.
" Kagome-Chan... We've been at this for hours. We should go and get something to eat."
The young girl sighed tiredly and nodded weakly.
" Yeah, lets go to Chiroru. I haven't visited Chii and Hideki in a while I've been so busy."
" What about Houshi-sama?"
" Tape a note of where we are to his forehead."
Sango felt a tug of a smile at her lips.
" All right." After scribbling something, she promptly stuck it to his skin and laughed.
" That was easy," The two girls swung their purses on their shoulders and waited for their persocoms to leap on their shoulders. As they did, Sango cupped her hand about her mouth, " Kohaku! We're going to go eat! C'mon!"
" Hai!"
And the once possessed little boy ran out the door following his sister and her friend. Leaving an unconscious monk behind.
*~*
Chii's eyes lit up as the bell on the door handle of the business jingled.
" Ohayo!" The persocom cried, smiling.
Kagome smiled down at the young girl.
" Ohayo Chii-Chan. Long time no see. How have you been?"
" Chii has been fine."
" And Hideki?"
" Hideki is working every day and studying very hard."
Kagome chuckled.
" What kind of pastries do you have today?"
Chii smiled and began to show the customers the various new confections that had been made that very morning.
*~* 6 months later
Kagome stretched and smiled as she swept the floor around the living room. Rin was reclining in the leather couch, her eyes half lidded as she clicked through the various channels. Sesshomaru was scheduled to be home in a couple of minutes and she'd get off and go to the movies with Miroku and Sango. Life was good.
Well as could as it could be considering.
Rin's eyes lit up as a video began to play on the screen on the opposite side of the room. With a silent giggle of delight, she rapidly made the volume higher. To the point where it pounded off of the walls and slammed back into you, making you lurch and feel as if every molecule in your being had been thrust out and returned in the wrong order. The throbbing of the bass of the guitar slammed into Kagome's every being until she couldn't ignore the oncoming pain in her skull as she dropped the broom. She was about to scold the young girl and yell at her to turn down the volume when her ears picked up a voice.
A loud clear feminine voice that was dripping with deep heart felt sadness and regret.
Kagome's blue gray eyes widened and slowly fell to the screen. The lyrics echoed through her ears, filtering out Rin's off key voice and only letting the original singer's voice slide through. The lyrics were echoing sadness.
Sadness that Kagome would soon connect with as the words of the music complied with her headache induced brain.
~*~
You don't remember me...but I...remember you...
I lie awake and try so hard...not to think of you...
But who...can...decide...what they dream...
And dream I do....
~*~
Kagome gasped and she strained harder, making herself listen desperately to the words. Clinging to the woman's voice as if it were her lifeline.
~*~
I believe in you...
I'd give up everything just to find you...
I have to be with you...
To live...
To breathe...
You're taking over me...
~*~
The miko felt a familiar pain flash behind her eyes. They began to sting as long buried tears began to glisten in the blue gray depths. Dropping to her knees, the young woman wrapped her arms about herself, her mind submerging in memories long buried inside...
~*~
Have you forgotten all I know...?
And all we had...?
~*~
~ Inuyasha eyes opened slowly in recognition as the demon blood was silenced by the young woman's obvious love that poured through her lips to his. His eyes drooped as his mind echoed the young girl's name before tenderly kissing her in return.
Kagome pulled back slowly, her eyes soft and happy.
" Inuyasha...you're okay now right?"
Inuyasha was suddenly overwhelmed with emotions and took her into his arms.
" Kagome." The young hanyou said, his voice laced with emotion cracked slightly as he buried her deep into his arms.
" Idiot...you're always so reckless."
The boy held her closer, his eyes molten gold with love as he buried his head deeper into her hair.
" I'll stay hanyou a little longer, just for you."
Kagome nodded slightly~
~*~
You saw me mourning my love for you...
And touched my hand...
I knew you loved me then...
~*~
Kagome fought back the tears, her eyes scrunched tightly, falling deeper into the depths of her soul. The lyrics echoing inside of her.
~*~
~ Inuyasha looked up warmly at the miko, her tears staining her dirt stained face.
" Do you love me?" He asked, the demand gone from his voice that was there a mere moment earlier.
The miko visibly looked surprised and her body tensed. Until she saw the hopeful frightened look in his pained violet eyes.
" Yes." She admitted, running her pale fingers through his matted, blood crusted hair.
The hanyou smirked in an effort to cover his emotion. But the emotion was apparent.
At least to Kagome.
The happiness of being loved in return had overpowered the piercing pain that was once in his purple eyes. ~
~*~
I believe in you....
I'll give up everything just to find you...
I have to be with you...
To live
To breathe
You're taking over me...
*
I look in the mirror and see your face....
If I look deep enough...
So many things inside that are just like.... You...are taking over....
~*~
Sesshomaru stepped into his home, to see the young miko sitting on the carpet, a fallen broom at her side. Her eyes were tightly shut and she was rocking herself back and forth as she gripped herself tightly with her arms.
" Rin. Turn off the television."
"Wha-" Rin suddenly was brought to attention the emotional hazard the song was doing to her nanny. The pain was still too great...
" NO!" Kagome cried out, her eyes snapping open and glowering at both the human girl and the demon lord.
" Let it play." The miko demanded, catching both witnesses of guard.
" As you wish." Sesshomaru nodded and Rin turned the television on once more, before tossing the remote at her guardian and fleeing the room. She hated to see her idol like this.
Because she knew she was powerless at comforting her.
The singer's voice turned into a pained desperate whisper as Sesshomaru knelt before Kagome. His hand placed gently on the stricken girl's shoulder.
"Kagome?" He inquired.
~*~
I believe in you...
I'll give up everything just to find you...
I have to be with you...
To live
To breathe
You're taking over *me*...
~*~
Sesshomaru's eyes widened as the last lyric pounded though his consciousness. He could hear his heartbeat throbbing in his ears. Louder and louder, but his sense of hearing and sight became dimmer and dimmer. Until he could not see, feel, think, or hear. Something had taken over his body and sealed his soul in the world between death and life. But who?
~*~
I believe in you!
I'll give up everything just to find you!
I have to be with you!
To live!
To breathe!
You're taking over me!
~*~
The singer screamed the last words desperately into the microphone. Until Sesshomaru's hand was lifted from Kagome's shoulder and he turned off the television.
" Kagome?" He asked again gently, his hand cupping her cheek.
Kagome's eyes slowly opened, she knew that voice. Tears slowly fell down in hot trails down her face as she met her boss's gaze.
To see the same cold eyes, only filled with love and worry. And they didn't look like his in the least they were....
" Inu...Yasha?" Kagome asked, her voice cracking. Was she delirious or was it really him?
A smile spread across the 'demon lords' face.
In an abrupt show of emotion, the man embraced the miko burying his face deep into her ebony hair.
" I miss you so much..." He whispered hotly into her ear, making Kagome blush darkly. But she pulled away, much to the boy's disappointment.
" How-"
'Inuyasha' put a clawed finger on her lips.
" Shh...I'm not Sesshomaru gone mad. I sealed his soul for a while in sleep while I took over his body."
"What?"
" Shh...I'm in his body. But only for a while."
Fresh tears fell down Kagome's face.
" But..."
" Don't you believe me?" 'Inuyasha' asked sadly, if he had his dog-ears, that they would've flattened against his skull at this point.
" I.... I don't know..." Kagome answered weakly.
" What can I do to prove it to you then wench? I came all the way from death to come and see you and this is how you fucking act?" He demanded quietly, trying to make sure that Rin didn't hear, but the fury was apparent in his amber eyes.
Kagome was silent.
" You could..."
"Could what?" The boy demanded viciously thoroughly pissed that his time was ticking by faster and faster with her hesitation.
" Kiss me...Kiss me like you did in Kaguya's Castle of Illusions..." Kagome whispered, her cheeks inflaming rapidly, as her eyes cast down in embarrassment.
" How would you know it was me?" He asked, the anger diminishing. Inuyasha moved his face closer until their noses touched.
" You're the only boy I've wanted or been kissed by..." Kagome answered, losing herself in the molten gold depths of his eyes.
It was the 'hanyous' turn to blush.
Slowly, the boy wrapped his only available arm around the miko's waist and pulled her close. Before their lips met in a heated kiss.
Inuyasha held Kagome there in his one-armed embrace, cursing himself for cutting off his brother's arm.
He could really use it about then.
Kagome sighed and snuggled deeper into his embrace.
" If I wake up and find out that this entire incident in a dream, can I personally curse you if I find your grave?"
Inuyasha chucked despite himself.
" Fine."
"Good."
Kagome straddled the young boy and kissed him hotly.
And so a silent make out session occurred.
With not a single witness but the two participating in it.
~*~
The miko awoke from her slight nap to a rapid shaking of her shoulder.
"Kagome!"
"Wha? Inuyasha?"
" Sesshomaru's breaking through the spirit barrier. I have to go." The boy admitted sadly, as he saw the girl's tears glitter in the light of the falling sunset.
" When?"
" By sunset, I'll be back in the land of the dead." The boy replied softly, not being able to look the grief stricken girl in the eye.
Kagome flung herself at the boy and kissed him again.
" Did Kikyo lie?" She asked softly.
" No. You'll understand later."
"What?"
But it was too late. The sun diminished from the horizon leaving only trails of soft pink and burning orange in its wake.
With a searing hot farewell kiss, the boy retreated back to the land of the dead, letting his brother's soul return to his body. Inuyasha pushed Kagome away as he felt himself become torn away from the body.
Kagome merely looked on as she was thrown across the room. She had to leave. Or else...
The miko scrambled up and fled out of the house and onto her bicycle. And was two blocks down before Sesshomaru even began to collect any coherent thoughts.
~*~
Luna: a reviewer inspired this entire soul-switching thing. And the song was by Evanescence, "Taking over Me." It fit in my eyes for this chapter so.
Veron: The reviewer was...PuNkRoCkBuNnY182
Luna: If it wasn't for her inquiry this would've NEVER happened! ^_^ *Hands her a whole shitload of pocky and other goods* Enjoy!
Veron: Time for the review responses!
~*~ Review Responses ~*~
PuNkRoCkBuNnY182: No Inu-Chan's soul isn't locked inside Sess's body. His soul is in the land of the dead. But, it sparked the idea of him locking away Sess's soul and using his body for a short period of time. ^.~ Ty for reviewin!
Dragon Tears Wing: To tell you the truth. I STILL don't know if the sexy puppy ish returning. And you're right Sess is hot but totally a hard ass. But a sexy hard ass so it kind of makes up for it. Like Inuyasha, he has cute ears and looks hot without his shirt on so that makes up for his totally assholic behavior ne? And you're right; he IS sexy when he smirks. God I'm such a bishie whore. You should see my thing for Tamahome, he's hot and so is Link from Zelda and god knows whom else. Heh heh.
iNiGmA: I bought this DVD from my manga store, called Vol. 19. It has episodes that happened WAY after issue 25. ^_^ And I read in an old Issue of Animerica with Inu on the front and the anime director said that after episode 50 the show surpasses the actual manga so they have to ask Rumiko what she wants to be done next before she even draws it! And somebody dies in the DVD...can ya guess who? ^.~ Yeah I feel bad for Kag too. I totally torture her in this fic no not literally. *sigh*
SakuraLuna: Aw...you're always so nice and enthusiastic about my updates. I luv ya so much for that. *Glomps back* Ja-ne and your welcome!
Lost Darkness: I believe you have reviewed before, but that's all right! ^_^ And let me tell you, you don't have to remind me to binge myself on chocolate. *Looks at herself* Though I really should cut back on it.... Heh heh
CosmicMoon: I can't go online at school, there's only one computer class and I get it next trimester. That and all the comps are set in such a way that he can see what you're doing. Though the library might be a good spot...
DynastyWarriorsFreak: Arigatou!
KagomeKia: Arigatou!
Black_Twilight_hitokiri: If you people keep begging I won't bring him back at all. Tho I still don't know if I am and if I do how I'll do it... *shrugs* Oh well.
FAV REVIEW!
~This normally means the review that made me get off my lazy ass and post the next chapter, cause I was so pleased. She's also the reason why I didn't let Dan_Chan beta read this chapter. I was just so happy I HAD to post! ^^~
NekoKaji: *smiles softly* Aw...pure art? Thanks so much! Because of you and your ego boosting compliments I updated! That and I normally wait for about 10 reviews before I update anyway...But thanks again! ^_^ *glomps you and gives you a giant Inuyasha plushie* THANK YOU! ^_^
~*~

With a searing hot farewell kiss, the boy retreated back to the land of the dead, letting his brother's soul return to his body. Inuyasha pushed Kagome away as he felt himself become torn away from the body.
Kagome merely looked on as she was thrown across the room. She had to leave. Or else...
The miko scrambled up and fled out of the house and onto her bicycle. And was two blocks down before Sesshomaru even began to collect any coherent thoughts.

Luna: a reviewer inspired this entire soul-switching thing. And the song was by Evanescence, "Taking over Me." It fit in my eyes for this chapter so.
Veron: The reviewer was...PuNkRoCkBuNnY182
Luna: If it wasn't for her inquiry this would've NEVER happened! ^_^ *Hands her a whole shitload of pocky and other goods* Enjoy!
Veron: Time for the review responses!
~*~ Review Responses ~*~
PuNkRoCkBuNnY182: No Inu-Chan's soul isn't locked inside Sess's body. His soul is in the land of the dead. But, it sparked the idea of him locking away Sess's soul and using his body for a short period of time. ^.~ Ty for reviewin!
Dragon Tears Wing: To tell you the truth. I STILL don't know if the sexy puppy ish returning. And you're right Sess is hot but totally a hard ass. But a sexy hard ass so it kind of makes up for it. Like Inuyasha, he has cute ears and looks hot without his shirt on so that makes up for his totally assholic behavior ne? And you're right; he IS sexy when he smirks. God I'm such a bishie whore. You should see my thing for Tamahome, he's hot and so is Link from Zelda and god knows whom else. Heh heh.
iNiGmA: I bought this DVD from my manga store, called Vol. 19. It has episodes that happened WAY after issue 25. ^_^ And I read in an old Issue of Animerica with Inu on the front and the anime director said that after episode 50 the show surpasses the actual manga so they have to ask Rumiko what she wants to be done next before she even draws it! And somebody dies in the DVD...can ya guess who? ^.~ Yeah I feel bad for Kag too. I totally torture her in this fic no not literally. *sigh*
SakuraLuna: Aw...you're always so nice and enthusiastic about my updates. I luv ya so much for that. *Glomps back* Ja-ne and your welcome!
Lost Darkness: I believe you have reviewed before, but that's all right! ^_^ And let me tell you, you don't have to remind me to binge myself on chocolate. *Looks at herself* Though I really should cut back on it.... Heh heh
CosmicMoon: I can't go online at school, there's only one computer class and I get it next trimester. That and all the comps are set in such a way that he can see what you're doing. Though the library might be a good spot...
DynastyWarriorsFreak: Arigatou!
KagomeKia: Arigatou!
Black_Twilight_hitokiri: If you people keep begging I won't bring him back at all. Tho I still don't know if I am and if I do how I'll do it... *shrugs* Oh well.
