Wow this is excellent! I got two reviews within the first three hours of posting my story. It seems that I didn't do so badly after all so now my spirit has been greatly lifted. Thanks for the boost of confidence destroyer and kiwi I appreciate it greatly. Now that is said on to the next chapter!

Chapter Two: What. WHAT THE HELL!!!

"Ugh." Inuyasha's eyes went wide and then they glazed over and he collapsed on top of Kagome's still form.

Sango ceased choking and begging Miroku to heal Kagome as she watched her companion pass out. Releasing her death grip on Miroku's throat she made her way over to where the couple resided.

Miroku coughed and began thinking now that blessed oxygen could get to his brain. "I have it!" he yelled jumping up from the ground. "We can use the Jewel shard from the scorpion that Inuyasha just slayed to slow the flow of the poison!" Actions spoke louder than words and the monk stumbled over to pulp that used to be a demon and extracted the jewel shard. He then hurried over to where Kagome's body lay and pushed Inuyasha's limp form off of his patient.

Miroku put the jewel shard in the wound in and watched as it purified and began to shine. "I hope this works," he muttered. "We're screwed if it doesn't."

Sango reached down and took the pulse of the dying girl. "She's still alive!" she exclaimed. "Just barely but if we can get her to Kaede then perhaps she can do something!"

Carefully Miroku and Sango picked up the miko and placed her on Kirara's back. "Get up Inuyasha!" Shippo said, jumping on his body. "We have to take Kagome to the village!"

Still the hanyou's body didn't move. "Come on Shippo we have to go now." yelled Sango. "Leave Inuyasha, he can take care of himself."

Giving Inuyasha one last kick for good measure Shippo jumped on Miroku's shoulder and the party raced towards the village.

Upon arrival Kaede came out to meet them and Miroku informed her of the situation. Examining the injured shoulder Kaede announced. "Ye quick thinking hath indeed saved Kagome's life. The shard of the Shikon no Tama slowed the flow of the venom enough for one of my herbal remedies to be effective." The elderly woman motioned towards her hut. "Lay Kagome down inside and make her comfortable. I will be back shortly." Kaede said as she hurried off to find the necessary ingredients.

Inside the simple hut Miroku laid Kagome's body upon a mat while Sango looked for a blanket. "Perhaps we should remove her clothing so that Kaede can operate more efficiently." Suggested Miroku. "It is in Kagome's best interests that we do so." Sango gave the perverted monk a hate glare and sighed.

"You are right it would make the process a lot easier," replied Sango. Miroku's eyes lit up for a fraction of a second before Sango said "Why don't you fetch some water for Kagome. It's in her best interests to drink something when she has awakened." To emphasize her point Sango proceeded to push Miroku out of the hut, jamming a water basin in his hands as she did so.

Returning to Kagome, Sango took a cloth and dipped it into the water that was hidden in the corner. Placing the damp fabric on Kagome's forehead she began to remove the patient's clothes. Finished with preparations Sango leaned back and waited for Kaede.

************************************************************************ A/N: From here on out it's gonna get kinda confusing. When I refer to Kagome it will be in reference to Kagome's soul in Inuyasha's body. Similarly, when I refer to Inuyasha it will be pointing to Kagome's body with Inuyasha's soul in it. Back to the story! ************************************************************************

Kagome awoke with a groan. Her stomach hurt from what had to of been multiple kicks to the gut and she was dizzy. Suddenly it hit her. Blood! Fear! Sweat! Dozens of odors assaulted her nose. "AAAAAHHHH!!!!" she screamed. "OW!" the scream that she had emitted had deafened her. She reached up to cover her ears and stop the pain, but she couldn't find them. "Oh gods!" she screamed. "Where are my ears!"

Then she stopped panicking. She had heard Inuyasha's voice! Where was he? "Inuyasha?" she inquired. Then she realized that Inuyasha's voice was actually her own. "What. WHAT THE HELL!!!" Kagome stood looking for an explanation and spotted a nearby lake.

Running faster than a human could ever manage she sped to the lake. Unfortunately, Kagome was not used to the speed at which she approached and mistimed her stop. In short she fell in.

"Ugh." She sputtered climbing out of the body of water. She used her claws to wipe the white locks from her face and realized two things: One she had white hair, and two she had claws. "No way no way no way no way." She moaned as she peeked into the lake afraid of what she knew she would find.

Inuyasha's startled visage stared back at her. "I'm in Inyuasha's body!" The declaration echoed through the trees while flocks of birds took off, startled, from their resting places.

Back in the village, Kaede finished working on the miko's shoulder and wiped the sweat from her brow. "There." She stood and turned towards the others, "Kagome will be fine in a day or so. I suggest that ye let her rest for the duration."

Sango nodded her thanks and called out "Miroku you are allowed in now."

The monk entered the hut and gave a sigh. "I wish that you would have let me watch the process. After all she is my friend too."

Sango only replied by rolling her eyes and motioning to the other members of the company. "Come on Shippo. We might as well go look for Inuyasha and tell him the good news." She stopped Kirara and said "You should stay here and guard Kagome," She tossed a vehement stare Miroku's way "Just in case of a demon attack".

Sango and Shippo exited the hut and headed towards to area where they had left Inuyasha's unconscious body.

"Ok don't panic," Thought Kagome. "There has to be a perfectly good explanation for this." Sitting against a tree Kagome closed her eyes in meditation. "Oh! I don't know!" she yelled slamming a fist into the earth. "Last thing I remember I was dying and Inuyasha was holding me."

She reflected upon the moment and tried to figure out exactly what the hanyou had said as she blacked out. "Don't die. uuumm.. Was that all?" she asked no one in particular. She put her head in her claws and cut herself. "AArrrggghhh!" she screamed. "I hate this!"

Then she heard it. "Inuyasha!" Kagome's new dog ears perked up at the sound of the name. "Inuyasha where are you!" It sounded like Sango and Shippo!

Immediately Kagome got up from her resting place and took off using her sense of hearing to find her companions. And there they were! They stood in the clearing where the battle had been fought only hours before.

"Hey Sango! Shippo!" Kagome threw herself at Sango and wrapped her in a warm hug. The surprised Sango misinterpreted the meaning of this sudden affection and a resounding SLAP echoed through the forest.

"OW!" moaned Kagome clutching her bruised cheek. "What was that for?"

"What else do you think you'd get trying to come on to me!?" Sango angrily protested.

Kagome immediately realized her mistake and said "Oh! I forgot about my current situation. It's me Kagome!"

Yep well I gotta get going in ten minutes to meet up with some friends so I'm going to end the chapter here just to keep the story going. Enjoy and review!!!
