Disclaimer: I'll say this in EVERY chapter... I do not own Inuyasha and never will-sniff-
Inuyasha, Is That Really You?
Threaten to keep it secret
Last Time,"AAHHHHH, WHAT IN THA HELL?! WHAT DID KOGA DO TO ME? I HAVE HIS FACE!!!" (The whole chapter in one phrase... not bad :P)
She had been in that little room for over a day now. Her soul snatchers couldn't get to her, Naraku had kept his barrier up. He wasn't about to forgive her for failing to do such a simple thing. A spell, nothing more, just a small spell to extract one's soul and change it with an other. But she had failed, she hadn't been able to do as she was ordered. Some day, he wouldn't need her anymore. 'That day' he thought, 'I'll be waiting for that day dear Kikyo. But for now' He gave entry to one of her soul gatherers. 'You have to take back what you have caused.'
In the village, the sun was setting, the children stop playing, silence was all that could be heard, although silence itself didn't seemed that calm. Sango had taken Kagome for a walk. She needed to get some exercise, what with that unexpected confrontation with Kikyo.
In Kaede's hut, Inuyasha woke up, slightly shaking. He looked around to see that he had been deserted. The hut was empty, no one in sight. He walked out and saw Shippo, lying on his back admiring the now bright stars.
"Hey Kid. Where is everyone?" He startled the young fox child by hitting him with his foot to get him to answer.
"Hey Inuyasha! You had us scared, you didn't snore as much. Miroku said you..."
Inuyasha looked down at his hands, they were a bit paler than usual. His robes smelled like Dog-Shit. His hair weren't in a ponytail, they were hanging along his face. The colour had changed, he was accustomed to his hair being dark brown but they were now silver. 'This cannot be happening. Wake up!'
"So then Sango hit him behind the head.. Everybody laughed and... Inuyasha where are you going?"
He left, as quickly as possible. He wasn't Inuyasha, he knew it. "I'm not that Dog-Face. I'm Koga, prince of the wolf tribe! I've got to find my body, whatever happened to it." He fallowed his scent. How could one forget his own smell.
--------------------------------------
Deeper into the forest, Ginta and Hakkaku tried to reason with the now fully awake Koga.
"LET ME GO! I'VE GOT TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED!" He freed himself and went to look for the real Koga, wherever he was. 'Something's really wrong. Somewhere out there is me, I mean, my body. Something tells me Naraku's behind this.' "DAMN YOU NARAKU!"
-------------------------------------
The night was getting colder, the wind icy. Kagome and Sango decided to head back to the hut only to find a crying Shippo, a confused monk and an absent Inuyasha.
"Miroku! Where is Inuyasha?"Shippo ran onto Kagome's lap, rubbing his now wet with tears face on her skirt.
"He's.... he's gone.... He just left... pouf! Like that!"
"Do not worry little Shippo. Inuyasha is capable of taking care of himself. He will be find. Let's get some rest." He went inside, so did the others. Except for Kagome.
'Where are you Inuyasha? I know Kikyo is out there. I don't know what I'd do if something happened to you.' She stayed out in the star light to wait for someone she knew wouldn't come back tonight, maybe not even tomorrow. Still she waited, and waited till she finally fell asleep by a burning fire.
---------------------------------
The sky was pitch black, the stars had faded and the forest seemed deeper than before. As he was running he sensed that he wasn't alone. Somebody was following him, but what for? Then it hit him. His encounter with Kikyo in the cold wet field had slowed his reflects for sure. Two demons, now face to face. Koga and Inuyasha. Or was it Inuyasha and Koga? Still they were there, both of them.
Before they could even speak a word, no doubt loose words were going to be spoken, a reddish light came from behind a tree and A familiar voice came to their ears.
"Well, I see you two have finally found each other. Certainly you have acknowledge this little change in both your minds and body. Am I right?" Kikyo chuckled silently.
Inuyasha got up ready to go at her, when Koga stoped him.
"Why did you do that for? She did this to us! You're just going to stand there and do nothing? I want my body back! You always were the weak one Dog-breath."(starting to get confused?! I know I am :P)
"Before attempting to harm me, witch I inform you, you are incapable of doing. You might want to know what exactly happened and what I can do to help."
"I don't need to hear this! I want MY body back!" Inuyasha ran towards her again, put got blocked by her force barrier. Foolish he was to think he could just attack her like that.
Koga hadn't move, he watched as Kikyo crossed her hands in front of her chest and waited. A light breeze made her hair wave. That little movement made Koga think of Kagome. How he really wanted her to be here right now. He never wanted her so badly before. If only he didn't make her mad all the time. 'Snap out of it Inuyasha.'
"Now If you two can concentrate for a minute or so. I could get you out of this mess." She narrowed her eyes at Koga. "Now, Inuyasha you are in this body... who is this in your body? An other demon for sure, this could only work on demons but who is it?"
---------------------
(Ok now, from this moment and so on... when I say Inuyasha it actually means Inuyasha in Koga's body. When I say Koga it means Koga in Inuyasha's body. Just so we're clear on that point and I don't loose anybody on the way.)
-------------------
"Why are you here Kikyo? Aren't you supposed to be with your master? Or does he ignore everything about your encounter here?" Inu's voice was strong and calm, no doubt it was due to Koga's vocal cords. Him and Inuyasha always did have different kinds of voice, one powerful and sexy, the other charming in some moments but mostly annoying.
"Ah but Inuyasha, have you forgotten? I answer to no one, Naraku can think what he wishes, it is none of my business." As she spoke that outrageous lie, she felt as though her master could hear her and she regretted. But he didn't know her plan, she wanted to make things better, worse for some people. She would bring the two demons apart and then she would lure them into some trap so that Naraku could get rid of both of them! He couldn't be mad at her for that, now could he?
"What's this shit about helping us?! You have something to say then say it so we can have our bodies back!" Koga all but yelled that little piece of statement out.
"If you would just let her talk asshole!"
"Be calm, or you'll never get my help! Now..." She had their attention. Koga on one side, laying against a tree, and Inuyasha on the other, standing up, eyes narrowed at the dead clay princess. "You have been victim of a spell... my spell. It wasn't supposed to end this way, but now that it has I thought I'd could warn you about the consequences."
"Consequences? What consequences?"
"Since the spell wasn't aimed at the both of you, there has been some little complications." She omitted the fact that the change was supposed to be between Naraku and Inuyasha, but she thought that at this point they wouldn't even noticed. "You know, Inuyasha, that every new moon your body changes."
"It does?" Koga looked at his body. "What you get like an extra tail or something?"
"It's not that simple stupid wolf."
"A wolf demon... Listen. Inuyasha's body changes to human at the new moon. If till then you are still in his body. Your soul won't be able to change with the body. Therefore, you will be destroyed. There is no way you can survive as big of a change as Inuyasha's transformation. The only way to save yourself is to let me help you get your respectable bodies."
"You mean, that if I stay in that dog's body I'm sure to die when comes the first moon? And this is YOUR fault?"
"That is correct."
"And why should we trust you?" 'Something doesn't seem right. Kikyo's definitely hiding something.'
"You know you have to trust me. That is your only chance. But for me to help you, you must keep it secret. No one must know that you have changed bodies or else I wouldn't be able to bring you back to normal."
"I don't trust her." Koga crossed his arms and looked at Inuyasha.
"We don't really have a choice, now do we?"
"I still don't trust her."
"Kikyo. When can we change back? The next moon is in three weeks."
"I will let you know. Till then, remember, secret or else..." And she vanished like she had in the field. But this time the light vanished with her, leaving the two demons perplexed and outraged.
"So now what? We go back like nothing's happened?" Koga really didn't act like normal. He had always been the calm and control one. Probably Inuyasha's hormones going through his body were affecting his behavior.
"Look Koga. I don't like this either but whe have no other solution. You want to die fine by me, when I get my body back I'll be glad to assist you, but I won't let you drag my body down with you! It's mine!!!" Right then, they heard two rusted voices, calling Koga's name. Ginta and Hakkaku.
--------------------------------
Out on the porch to Kaede's hut, Kagome had been asleep for an hour or two when Miroku came out for some fresh air. Shippo had been talking in his sleep and it made it difficult for him to concentrate on other things than food and little fox girls!
"My dear Kagome. You cannot wait until Inuyasha comes back. You know as well as I do that he may not soon." She got up.
"But what if something happened to him? We're not there to help him if something does!" 'Like he even needs our help.'
Flashback
"You can't even track down a jewel shard! The only thing you're good at is being captured by some demon or getting yourself in danger! I can't watch over you every single time!" Inuyasha wasn't even looking at her when he spoke. He knew his words would make her mad and he didn't want to bare with her face swelling up in tears. That always made HIM feel bad. Her pretty little face, wet, by his fault.
"YOU'RE SUCH A JERK!!! IF IT WASN'T FOR ME, YOU WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE ANY JEWEL SHARD RIGHT NOW!!"
And he did it again. "YEAH, WELL, IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU, I'D STILL HAVE THAT STUPID JEWEL IN ONE PIECE!!! AND I WOULDN'T NEED TO GET JEWEL SHARDS!!!" That went straight to her heart. So rough, yet so true.
'He's right. If it wasn't for me, the shikon jewel would still be intact. He wouldn't have to drag me all around. Still there's a better way to say it... I think.' "INUYASHA SIT!!!"
End of Flashback
The chill that came up her spine woke her up from her previous thoughts. She felt something wasn't in it's place. "You're right Miroku. I'll go inside, he's not going to come back tonight and I don't even think he would want to see me right now." As she made her way into the hut...
"HEN..."he told her to shush.
"Ah, ah ah... people are sleeping..." -slap slap-
"That doesn't give you the right to touch me pervert!"
"Koga? There you are. We've been looking everywhere for you. You don't seem well. Let us take you back to the den..."
"Let's go guys. I've had a trying day." They looked at him curiously. Koga had forgotten that he was Inuyasha. He had followed Ginta.
"Eh... Inuyasha? Are you feeling alright?"
The real Inuyasha answered. "He's just fine. Need some rest is all." He looked at him for a reply.
"Ah.. Yes well, I should be going back to hem.... wherever Kagome is." He took a step but got intercepted by Inuyasha.
"You're not going back there. Alone with her. I'm going too."
"But Koga. The wolfs needs you. What should we tell them?" The look in their faces was confused and sad. Their leader didn't want to come home anymore.
"Tell them... that....th... I... Koga... am going to... seduce Kagome!" He didn't even believe what he had just said. Seduce Kagome? He was in Koga's body for God's sake! "It could take up to three weeks. Till then, I won't be coming back." Inuyasha took his powerful voice and ordered them to take charge of the den while he was gone.And they left more perplexed then ever.
"What did you that for Dog-Shit? Their incompetents. They couldn't lead a pac of seeds if their lives depended on it."
"Well then wolf boy. That's your problem, not mine!" he smirked and started walking back to Kaede's hut, followed by Koga.
"Oh and it would be better if you didn't call me Dog-shit when we're not ourselves. Could get people to suspect.And while I'm at it. DON'T LAY A FINGER ON KAGOME GOT IT?"
Koga didn't speak. He just followed, dragging his feet. He would have to face the problems at the den when this would be all finished. 'Stupid Dog-Shit. You'll pay for that. Kagome might like you, when you are yourself. But wait till she gets a looks at the new improved Inuyasha. She'll be quick to run back into my arms. Well when I get them back that is."
Oooohhh... ok well took me two-three days but finally finished it!! And I hope it's long enough! :) The other chapters will be easier to write for sure! Anyhoo keep sending reviews they're all great.
