Chapter Twenty Two
Miroku ran into Inuyasha's house, panting. The parents were in the dining room and all turned around and saw Inuyasha in Kagome's body chasing Miroku upstairs. Miroku slammed the door open, scaring the girls half to death.
"What in the world are you doing?!" Kagome screamed, of course it sounded funny coming from Inuyasha's voice. The noise could be heard from downstairs, so their parents got shocked and ran upstairs.
"Ok, so what's going on!?" Inuyasha's dad screamed.
"Nothing dad, we-I, uh, it's nothing." Inuyasha said. (The body, if any of this confuses you, I'd be glad to help)
"What? Did you just call me 'Dad' Kagome?" Inuyasha's dad asked.
"Did you two get married without us knowing?" Kagome's mom asked in glee.
"NO!" Inuyasha and Kagome pushed them out the door and slammed it.
"Great going, Inuyasha." Kagome said.
"Hey, he IS my dad, what I was supposes to say?" Inuyasha went over to a chair.
"Why couldn't you just say, 'Nothing!' or "Not what you think" or something like that?"
"I don't know."
"Well, anyway, we'll, worry about that later, why were you chasing Miroku?"
"He knows someone that might be able to help us with our situation."
"Really? MIROKU, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US SOONER?!" Kagome started to hit Miroku who was curled up in fright of Kagome's exploding red aura surrounding her at the time.
"Kagome, don't kill my boyfriend, plus, he knows where the person lives. And the sooner we get there, the sooner we can get you two switched back." Sango said calmly from Kagome bed. Inuyasha was sitting on a chair next to Sango watching the amusement. "Anyway, I don't think you want Inuyasha mood changing temper either, I think it's starting to rub off more, one second you're calm, and the next, you want to kill my boyfriend."
Kagome calmed down, "You're right, Miroku, let's go, come on people, LET'S GO!" She screamed as she pushed Miroku and dragged Sango and Inuyasha along.
After a lot of yelling, pushing, and fighting, on the bus they got on to get across town, they finally got to a house with a very sun shiny garden and butterflies were fluttering everywhere. They rang the doorbell that chimed along with a wind chime hanging by.
The door opened and there was a middle aged woman standing there with a bright smile, "Hello there, how may I help you kind people?"
"Hi Mrs. Kairi you remember me, Miroku. My friends and I need your help." Miroku said politely.
"Oh yes, Miroku, how may I help?" Mrs. Kairi said, "How rude of me, please come in and make yourselves at home. I'll get some lemonade for you all. She came back with 5 glasses of lemonade, "Now, tell me f your problem."
"Well, you see, my friends seem have switched places, well, it seems their souls have." Miroku explained.
"Well, I will try to help as much as I can." She said, "Please follow me." She walled into a hallway and pulled down a set of stairs that led to the attic. There was one window that light shown through, the ray of light made it possible to see all the dust in the attic. In the middle of the attic was a large round table. "All of you please sit."
They all sat down around the table, "Can you tell me more of you friends' situation, Miroku?" she asked.
"We were talking when I asked that they were acting like each pother more, and before we knew it, they had switched places or something."
"Did you see anything in particular?"
"I saw a pink and blue thing when they were talking." Sango added.
"I should think that was their souls." The lady said.
"Well, do you know how to return their souls back?" Miroku asked.
"I can try, but their souls have to cooperate as well." Mrs. Kairi said, "Inuyasha, Kagome, please stand up and face each other. We will circle around you and start to chant, close your eyes, and we will see if it'll work or not."
Inuyasha and Kagome stood up and faced each other as instructed. The three stood around them and started to chant a spell. Inuyasha and Kagome closed their eyes and started to feel something come out of them, slowly. Mrs. Kairi let out a small gasp before chanting again. She saw wings, Inuyasha's body was growing pink wings and Kagome's body was growing blue wings. Then the wings shot back in through the bodies and high above the two. The two souls collided and shot back into the bodies, making Inuyasha and Kagome fall over.
"Are you two back to normal?" Miroku asked.
Inuyasha and Kagome opened his eyes and sigh, "It didn't work, "Inuyasha said.
"Why didn't it work?" Kagome asked the lady."
"For some reason your souls didn't want to leave your bodies, they were tied down to something. You both have to want to let go."
"Well, I'm letting go" Inuyasha threw his head back. Kagome let out a heavy sigh.
"It doesn't matter who's not letting go, but if you two want to get back to normal, then just cooperate." Sango said.
"Alright, let's try this again, are you ready?" the lady said.
They both nodded. Sango, Miroku, and the lady started to chant. They opened their eyes wide open, threw their heads back, and screamed. Their eyes were glowing and were floating with a spiral of air around them. Their souls left their bodies and circled around them. The souls started to collide together while they were being tossed around in the air. The two landed and at that instant the souls hit the two bodies.
Everyone ran to their aide Sango held up Kagome's body, "Are you ok? How many fingers am I holding up? A better question, who are you?"
"Uh, I feel like I got run over by a truck" Inuyasha said.
"You're back to normal." Miroku said.
"Kagome, are you ok?" Sango asked.
"Yeah, I guess." Kagome stood up rubbing her head, "Let's get back home before our parents do something crazy."
"You mean something crazier than usual." Sango said.
They walked home and on the way, Inuyasha and Kagome weren't looking at each other at all.
'The souls were tied down to something, they didn't let go, they didn't WANT to let go...' Kagome thought.
'My soul...what was it tied down to? Kagome's just my friend, were the souls tied down by our friendship? That has to be it.' Inuyasha let out a little sigh.
Miroku and Sango noticed that they weren't looking at each other either and started to whisper to each other...
"I think I have a plan." Sango whispered. As they were whispering to each other, Inuyasha and Kagome were fidgeting and oblivious to Sango's plan.
They finally got to Inuyasha and Kagome's house after an hour or so. (Wow, long silence eh?) They went to their room and saw a note on their door. It read:
Inuyasha and Kagome,
WE all went out for dinner, if you want your own, call for pizza, we left some money on your drawer. Well be back around 10. If Miroku and Sango are with you, their parents are with us too, so they can sleep over if they want to, just make sure to remember there's school tomorrow.
P.S. Don't do anything that we wouldn't do.
Love Moms and Dads
"Ugh, I can just see them giggle and wink at that last thing they said." Inuyasha said in disgust.
They went in the room and the first thing the guys did was run over to the TV and pulled out the PS2. Sango and Kagome went over to the bed and started to talk and/or gossip.
"So Kagome how is it like to be back in your body?" Sango asked. Kagome was string out the window. "Hello...Kagome; are you there?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry, yeah, its feels just like my soul never left." Kagome responded.
"Thinking about someone special, Kagome?" Sango teased.
"What? NO!"
"Sure..."
"YOU KNOW WHAT?!" Kagome shouted and everyone in the room looked at her, she said sweetly, "Let's play a game"
Sango and Miroku grinned at each other 'she's helping us more than she thought with our plan' they both thought. "What do you think we should play?" Inuyasha asked.
"What games do you have?" Sango asked with that same grin on her face.
"Probably all of them" Kagome said.
"TWISTER!" Miroku and Sango yelled and stood up jumping. Inuyasha and Kagome of course blushed after Miroku and Sango left running out of the room to go get the game. They were alone in their own room. Little did they know that Sango and Miroku already got the game, but came back to spy on the two.
"So, uh, how are you feeling?" Inuyasha asked.
"Fine, you?" Kagome avoided eye contact.
"Yeah, but one thing bothers me." Inuyasha looked up at Kagome, she looked up at him.
"What?"
"Our souls were holding on to something, any idea what it was?"
Kagome blushed and looked down again, "Nope, no idea whatsoever."
'What is she blushing for?' Inuyasha couldn't figure it out.
Miroku and Sango came in with the game and set it up. "Hey, who's going to spin?" Sango asked. Inuyasha and Kagome both volunteered. "No, let's ask the girl across the street, Rin. I used to baby-sit for her when she was little, I'm sure she'd help us with her problem."
A few minutes later Rin came, "Alright people, left hand on green." They all followed. "Left leg red." for now, they were all in the same positions. "Right hand yellow" "Left hand red." Miroku had to reach on the other side of the mat and fell.
"I guess I'm out." Miroku smiled and winked at Sango. Sango smiled knowing that that was her signal. Being in the position they were in, Sango shoved Inuyasha, who was next to her, over and he landed on Kagome, brushing his lips on hers. He got off her and they both started to gag. Rin, Miroku and Sango burst out laughing. Inuyasha and Kagome turned to their audience with flames in their eyes.
"Uh, Sango, I'll see you later, nice to meet all of you!" Rin ran out laughing her head off.
"Hehe, uh, IT WAS SANGO'S IDEA!" Miroku covered his head for protection.
"MIROKU! YOU WERE IN ON IT TOO!" Sango screamed at him.
Suddenly, Kagome stopped and looked blankly at them, then at Inuyasha, then back at Miroku and Sango, who were silent. Inuyasha was still in rage though. 'Why am I mad? I actually enjoyed it... AHH! What the hell am I thinking! He's my friend and nothing more!!!' she snapped out of it when Inuyasha started to chase her two friends around while they were laughing, "So, are you two sleeping over or not?"
They all stopped running and were panting, "Yeah, I'm ok with it." Miroku said.
"Me too." Sango said as she walked out the door.
"Where are you two going?" Inuyasha asked.
"To get our overnight things, duh." Sango giggled out of the room with Miroku. Inuyasha and Kagome were once again alone.
"That damn Sango, huh?" Inuyasha walked over to Kagome who was on the bed.
"Huh? Oh, yeah."
"You've been spacing out lately, what's up with you?"
"What? Nothing! I just have a lot on my mind, that's all!"
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes,"That's ALL?"
"Yes, that's all."
"Nothing's bothering you?"
"No"
"Nothing at all?"
Kagome was getting ticked off, "NO!"
"So you're NOT thinking about that kiss?"
"NO!" Kagome groaned in frustration then she covered her mouth, just now what he asked and what she responded was processing through her mind. "AHH! YOU DRIVE ME NUTS! I WAS NOT THINKING ABOUT THAT KISS!!! OK?!"
Inuyasha showed a wide and evil grin, "Haha, you WERE thinking about that kiss!"
"I was not!"
"You were, so what'd you think?" Inuyasha smiled sweetly.
Kagome got really nervous of that smile, "Ahh, uh, SHUT UP!" Just then, Miroku and Sango came in, 'Whoa, saved by the evil couple.'
"Anything happen while we were gone?" Miroku asked nudging Inuyasha.
"Yeah Kagome, did you two do anything?" Sango tried to stop herself from laughing.
"Are you two working for our parents are something? Since when did you two try to ACTUALLY hook us up? Because you two are the ONLY ones who know we're dating as friends. Either you're really trying to push us into liking each other or you two just like being beat up to a pulp." Kagome was angry, really angry.
"Hun, it's ok if they know." Inuyasha plunged Kagome into a kiss. Miroku and Sango laughed their head off, and quickly became shocked to see how long they kissed without taking a breath of air yet. And the fact that Kagome didn't even try to stop him. After the kiss ended, Kagome was in a bit of a daze and snapped quickly out of it.
Kagome started yelling, "What the hell was that for?! And since when do you call me 'hun'?!"
"Hehe, you know you liked it." Inuyasha said slyly.
Kagome turned red from embarrassment and anger. "What is with you all today?!" She stormed off downstairs and got herself a cup of hot chocolate. The rest of the group slowly and cautiously went downstairs. "Haven't you all had enough fun for one day?"
"Oh come on Kagome, you know we were all just playing around." Sango said.
"I highly doubt that."
"Well you don't have to get all irritated about it." Miroku added.
Kagome perked back up immediately, "Fine, whatever, let's just get back upstairs and get to sleep, when we wake up, I'll make you all breakfast!"
This not only scared everyone, this made Inuyasha very nervous about going to bed.
Well, how'd you all like it? You're all the lucky ones because other people had to wait for 2 months for me to post this chapter, I was on hiatus for aquite a while because of school. I HAVE to finish this story before summer because my internet will be shut down until I get another internet service, or I might just keep on writing and upload them on here when I'm on someone else's computer when I get the chance. That's probably what I'll do...Ja ne, hopefully my other chapters will come sooner. ((Oh yeah, this was a longer chapter than usual, for all of you that've been waiting for so long, I'm so sorry TT))
