Hi, I'm back with the long awaited Chapter Four. Wow! It's been a whole month. Sorry for the wait but semester two of University has started and most of my time is being sucked up into the oblivion that is homework. Alrighty perhaps I should just let you read it. Hope you enjoy it, its my longest chapter yet and I've finally brought in the bad guy. I figure we might need one. Also, Thanks to Frentel, loveyaa, and swasdiva for reviewing. I love my reviewers, you're the best.

Frentel: no you don't have a choice you will be my Jewel Detector.

loveyaa: I'm really glad you like my story so far, and sorry for leaving it on a cliffhanger.

swasdiva: I'm happy you think this was a great Inu/Kag switch. (I have no idea where the idea came for) also, I would say you're thinking a wee bit to much into this cause you brought issues to my attention that I had not thought about(It's a good thing I'm thinking about them now. Thanks for bringing them to my attention). The switch is a little bit more simple than your mused one. Read this chapter and if you have any questions feel free to ask and I promise I will attemp to anwser them providing they don't give away plot points.

DISCLAIMER: "I don't own Inuyasha, yet!" Brisk33 shouted angrily.

"I'm working on it," Frentel shouted back, "You don't intimidate me. Can I have Shippo? He's so cute.--as in awww cute, people--"

"We can't have any of them unless we FIND THE JEWEL!" Brisk33 yelled.

"Ok," Frentel approved with an innocent grin on her face, "It's that way."

"I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU COULDN'T FIND IT!" Brisk33 burst.

"But that was before, this is now," Frentel explained without explaining anything at all.

"Are you coming?" She asked Brisk33 as she walked off in the direction of the jewel. Brisk33 stood fuming on the spot.

"You had to pick your little sister, didn't you?" She complained to herself, "You couldn't have pick someone else, ANYONE ELSE!"

Chapter Four: The Rescue

A cold breeze swept through her hair and the birds chirping loudly woke her from her slumber. She smiled as she recalled the last trickling memories of her dream. She didn't want to wake up.

'It was such a good dream,' Kagome thought. Letting go of the warm feeling, she shivered and mused that someone must have left a window open in her room.

'huff,' She sighed in annoyance and opened her eyes so she could shut the blasted thing. However, she found she was no longer in her room; she was not even in her house.

"I'm in a tree!" She cried out and clung to the truck. Miroku looked up at her with tired confusion.

"Of course," He responded, "You climbed up there before you transformed last night."

"Transformed?" Kagome hysterically questioned, "Transformed into what?"

"A human, of course. You've reverted back to your regular form now," Miroku continued climbing to his feet filled with both annoyance and concern, "Are you feeling alright, Kagome?"

'A human?' Kagome thought, 'I'm always human. How could I transform into one.' She looked down at her hands trying to reassure herself that she was in fact human. Unfortunately, her eyes met claws instead of finger nails. Instantly, her hands leapt to her face. As she searched herself for more changes, she felt her ears sticking atop her head and realized they felt like Inuyasha's.

"I'm a demon," She redundantly whispered to herself. Panic quickly overcame her.

"What's going on?" Sango asked as she rose from her sleeping spot.

"Something is wrong with Kagome," Miroku answered.

"What?" Shippo chimed in as he rose from sleep.

"I'm not sure," Miroku responded with caution.

"Not sure!" Kagome shouted from atop her perch, "Not sure. I'm a demon Miroku! Look at me!"

"See what I mean," Miroku told Sango and Shippo.

"You've always been a half-demon, Kagome," Sango told her with concern. The panic in Kagome's mind sweep over her entire body and she shook.

'They think this is normal,' She realized, 'I have to find Inuyasha. He'll know this is wrong.'

"Where's Inuyasha?" She asked, wanting to speak to the hanyou immediately. Miroku stared at her in disbelief.

"You sent him home yesterday," Shippo informed her, "After he started talking all funny." Kagome blanched.

"I'm…I …I stated the prophecy, not Inuyasha," She exclaimed.

"Demons can't be prophets," Miroku explained, "It's a human magic."

"But Inuyasha is a demon!" Kagome exasperated.

"What!" Miroku and Shippo blurted as one in the shocked of the ridiculousness of the statement. With caution and concern, Sango approached the tree,

"Kagome, Inuyasha is a human. He has always been a human and you sent him home to his era yesterday, so you wouldn't have to protect him during the new moon." She explained as if she were talking to a very small child.

'We've switched lives,' Kagome realized and in shock she fell from the tree. Her friends would have found the situation very funny, if they were not already overly concerned about Kagome's strange behavior. Kagome rose from the ground and rubbed the sore spot on her bottom.

"I'm going to find Inuyasha," Kagome announced, "He'll know that this is all wrong."

"Kagome, Inuyasha said he had a test today," Shippo told her," You should leave him alone for now. I'm sure he'll come back soon."

"No!" Kagome cried, "I need to talk to him now." With that she began running towards the well.

He sat in the dark pondering his approach with his left hand clutched tightly around his treasure. The seer sat quivering in front of her mystical tools.

"Where?" He hissed in a low menacing voice.

"I… I..," She stammered, "I do not know."

"Don't know!" He cried in out rage, "I was told you were the pick of the crop when it came to foresight. See what I ask." He slammed his fist into the table before her and she knew only restraint on his part had keptit from breaking.

'He is going to kill me,' She thought to herself knowing the truth of the statement.

"It does not work this way," She whispered in calm fear, "I can direct my visions, but I can not force them upon myself nor control what I see."

"Then you are useless to me," He blankly stated. She began to cry and beg for her life.

"Please, please do not kill me," She sobbed in desperate despair.

"Kill you," he laughed. The cold ring of it flooded the room and chocked the prophet into silence.

"Do you know what this is?" He asked her, holding a perfectly smooth orb in her line of sight. Panic over took her and no audible sound met her lips. She had seen this jewel in her sleep and none of those dreams ended pleasantly; most ended with her death or with the death of a white haired demon. She knew the dream was forked prophecy, one whose path had not yet been determined, only narrowed. He laughed again,

"Yes, Lady Tayeso, this is your fate. You will only wish you were dead.

'huff,' Kagome sighed in annoyance as she leapt out of the well, 'I hope Inuyasha remembers the way things are suppose to be," She thought as she walked past the Goshinbu (AN: sp? I need some help if you know how to spell Goshinbu please tell me. Sorry for butting in.) tree, and towards the steps leading from the shrine.

"Hi, Kagome," A voice called to her.

"Souta," Kagome greeted, "Why aren't you in school?"

"Half-day," He answered, "My big brother's still at school."

'Big brother!' Kagome exclaimed to herself, my family must be affected by what ever this is.

'I can't wait for him to get out of school,' She decided and began descending the steps.

"Where are you going?" Souta asked.

"To find Inuyasha," She exasperated.

"What if somebody sees you?" Souta reasonably stated, "Here at least cover your ears." He handed her his baseball cap and she put it on.

'Man, this is very uncomfortable. No wonder Inuyasha doesn't like to wear one,' She complained to herself and wiggled her ears to try and relieve some of the pressure as she entered the school building. Classes were changing for the last block and the halls were filled with students.

'How am I going to find him?' She wondered. 'Duh, use your nose,' came the answer. Kagome stopped walking and considered the smells wafting about her.

'huff,' she sighed in frustration 'I can't pick up his scent muddled with all these other ones; I just don't have enough practice.' She looked around hopelessly.

'Well you're not going to find him by standing here, now are you?' She began walking down the packed hallway.

'Ok Kagome, you're not going to find him this way either. Use your brain. If you've switched lives then he's living yours. Where would you be right now?' She reasoned with herself.

'Just finishing math,' she realized happily, but another blacker thought dawned on her, 'Where I've just finished writing a test, Oh baka!' She hurried through the building towards the math room knowing her next class was in the same hall.

'Inuyasha will be in that hallway,' She reassured herself and sure enough she saw him as she turned the corner. He was standing looking trapped as her friends surrounded him. She knew the look in their eyes; it was a hungry look.

'They're man hunting,' she thought as a jealous rage overcame her, 'and their pray is Inuyasha.' Kagome marched quickly over to the small group, just in time to hear Ayumi stammer,

"…see a movie this Friday?" Kagome saw Inuyasha's eyes widen and frantically search for an escape. They fell onto Kagome. Attempting to remember that Ayumi didn't remember her what so ever, she exclaimed,

"He can't. He's busy." Relief washed over Inuyasha and he meekly smiled as Ayumi look at him to confirm this statement. Inuyasha fled to Kagome's side, leaving Ayumi feeling a bit glum. Kagome felt sorry for her, but knew she couldn't hang around. So, she grabbed Inuyasha's arm and began quickly walking out through the building.

"That was cutting it close," Inuyasha exclaimed, as soon as they had left the school, and Kagome sent him a daggered stare.

"I'm just saying you could have come and got me sooner; then I wouldn't have had to suffer through this."

"You think you suffered," Kagome shouted, "I woke up in a tree! A TREE!"

(AN/ I bet you can see where this is going so we'll just leave them to it.)
