Mission Impossible: The Switcheroo

Chapter 5: Three Hours In, and We're already Crazy...

The door slammed shut behind the two Inu brothers, resulting in a lot of shouting as Kaede returned to her hut to tend to her other guests.

Inuyasha smashed his fist against the wooden door frame. 'Damn it, this door must be enchanted...' Sesshomaru, however, lit several candles and oil lights, their shine revealing a rather fine hut.

"At least these people have some taste..." Sesshomaru muttered sarcastically, being an ex-youkai lord and all that junk.

"About as much as a stink worm, if that's what you mean..." Inuyasha commented, running a clawed finger across the dusty crate which held two futons.

Sesshomaru merely rolled his eyes to the comment, choosing to ignore his brother's obviously lack of intelligence, which of course surprised him seeing as he was trapped in his own, VERY graceful youkai body... (A/N: Modest, isn't he?....)

The rain left eerie silhouettes on the window frames, as the brothers, glared out awaiting the end of the storm when they would finally be released from this prison cell.

Meanwhile...

"Hey, Kagura, bring the popcorn..." Naraku ordered, leaving an annoyed wind mistress to the kitchen. He and his other detachments settled down staring at the wall which held up Kanna's mirror. And let's all guess what they're doing...

"They locked Inuyasha with Sesshomaru..." Hakudoushi commented, shoving a handful of popcorn into his already open mouth. The pale skin on his face was stain with the occasional yellow butter.

"..." As usual, Kanna had nothing to comment. Even if she did feel amused, she wouldn't know what that meant... "If I'm lucky, maybe they'd kill themselves and I wouldn't have to continue pulling off spare body arts to create you people..." Naraku suggested, earning a three-second moment of silence from his detachments.

"And If I'm lucky, the sight of Naraku trying to make a joke won't literally kill me..." Kagura muttered, Kohaku just stuffing his face with the oily contents of popped corn into his mouth... (A/N: Let's all pretend I never typed that part of the story...)

Back to the village...

The rain kept coming down as if it was a waterfall or something. By the next three hours, the two brothers have already gotten a little but stir-crazy... Both were constantly digging into one another's nerves.

"Inuyasha, stop breathing down my back!" Sesshomaru yelled, sending back a surprised ex-hanyou.

"What?" Inuyasha shouted defensivly, "I just wanted to see what my ears look like!"

"Well, see them later!!" Sesshomaru snapped back, digging into the wooden floor boards with his claws, etching little circles on their surface. "Damn it, it hasn't stopped raining yet..."

"Thanks for stating the obvious, milord..." Inuyasha taunted, doing a very fake bow in front of his now scowling brother.

"If you weren't in my body, I'd claw your face out right this moment..." Sesshomaru grumbled, his claws tensioned and dug harder at the hard cherry wood. His complexion was now well kept as he had to make the best of what he had. A worthless cloven fang that's only suitable for scrap metal, and a hanyou body with a head you can shine a light through...

As usual, every seemed to be at their glummest moment possible currently, but then, since when was both brothers being together a good thing?

The tension in then air between then was so dense; you could slice through it with a butter knife. Sesshomaru's angry trace was broken as soon as he felt a sharp jerk on his ears.

"Do you mind?!" Sesshomaru shouted, swiping at his brother's hands.

"Kami, sorry ice prince ..." Inuyasha retorted, crossing his arms. "So..." He suggested, trying to strike up a conversation for his sanity's sake. "What do you think of my group?"

"The wimpy school girl's a whore, the taijiya's an idiot, and the monk is a bloody Hentai..." Sesshomaru replied simply, avoiding Inuyasha's pathetic intensions.

"Look, Sesshomaru, I don't like this any more then you do, so will you please even try?!?" Inuyasha roared in frustration.

"That's easy for you to say. You have a better body..." Sesshomaru said sarcastically once more.

"How the hell does one start a conversation with a person who refuses to even speak of anything other then to complain?!?" Inuyasha fumed. After all this, he was surprised he hadn't blown up in Sesshomaru's face yet.

"Easy. You find an idea that ACTUALLY strikes interest to him or her one is referring to..." Sesshomaru said, finding his brothers antics either, obvious, pathetic, or both.

"An idea that actually strikes interest..." Inuyasha mocked, his voice barely audible, but not soft enough.

"I heard that..." Sesshomaru snapped, accidentally struck a nerve in Inuyasha. Thus, starting another pointless argument.

Meanwhile...

"Kaede-sama, do you think Sesshomaru will kill Inuyasha?" Rin asked with bright innocent eyes.

'Amazing how such a child could fall into the hands of Sesshomaru and stay alive...' Kaede thought before replying, "Ye really have it for that arrogant youkai, don't ye, child?"

"Yes and what is arrogant?" Rin asked, answering a question with another.

"Arrogant is when one is proud, but then they are becoming too proud." Sango explained, soon slapping Miroku again for his most recent attempt to grope her... Which was about 5 seconds ago.

"Oh..." Rin said sadly. "Sesshomaru-sama isn't like that... Sesshomaru-sama is Rin's daddy.... He treats Rin nice..."

Kagome for once, nearly choke on a mouthful of green tea. Quickly regain her breath; she was able to choke out, "Sesshomaru? Nice?!?"

"Yes..." Rin said calmly, coping Sesshomaru exactly when one of the servants got on his nerves.

"This, I won't believe until I see it for myself." Miroku said, earning a nod of agreement from everybody and a frown from Rin. Then, they prepared to sleep.

To be continued...


Author's Note: I understand there was a lot of pointless talking in this chapter, but I was not all that pleased with the reviews from the last chapter...Mostly because there was none. I'm eager to know what you think, and what you think may be an interesting twist for the story! Ja ne!
