Mission Impossible: The Switcheroo

Chapter 10: It's Inuyasha's Turn!

((Author's Note: I'm sorry about a bit of Kikyo bashing the last chapter, But I had to get Sesshomaru to do something significant! Gomen… I thank Shrewy for the inspiration of this chapter's events! Thank you to all reviewers!))

"Sesshomaru-sama… Can we go home now? Rin's tired…"Rin said, yawning slightly. Inuyasha merely nodded, still in shock that Sesshomaru just murdered Kikyo in front of his 'friends'…And the kids. It wasn't fair. It should've been him in Kagome embrace right now, not his stupid half brother! Sesshomaru was in his spot!

"Oh Inuyasha…" Kagome moaned, not really getting the fact that Inuyasha wasn't…Inuyasha. "And how could you!? You just killed her without a word, or even a bit of mercy you cold bastard!!!" Kagome shouted. What a mood swing…. "Sit boy! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT…"

Sesshomaru fell face first into the dirt path, each time landing with a horrible thud. After many, MANY sittings, Sesshomaru moaned, and it began to hurt all over again. Kagome took a deep breath, and Sesshomaru winced. Kagome let out the air, and simply turned away. "Come on Sesshomaru," She said, walking past the youkai who was staring into the crater, "We're going to your castle." Inuyasha looked at his old body. He took it all back. He didn't want to be in his brother's spot anymore….

"Er…Very well." Sesshomaru said, as he frantically called up the path to the castle in Sesshomaru's memory bank. "Follow me."

Miroku and Sango each took one of Sesshomaru's wrists and dragged him out of the crater, and along the path behind Inuyasha. Shippo was sitting on his stomach to avoid having to walk the whole way…

"I'm sure glad I never hit on Kagome…" Miroku whispered to Sango, "Otherwise I'd be the one you're dragging…" Miroku said, smiling a bit. Sango blushed five tones of red, and slapped Miroku lightly.

"Don't kid with me, houshi-sama…" Sango taunted, walking in silence, and didn't even notice that Miroku's smile and stare at her never did go away…

Shippo looked at the two couples and leapt off of Sesshomaru's stomach, running beside Rin. "Don't you think Sango and Miroku make a good couple?" He asked her.

"Yes… If only Miroku-san would stop being so…Hands on type person." Rin replied.


"Sesshomaru-sama, are we there yet?" Rin asked, pulling on 'Sesshomaru's' sleeve. Inuyasha shook his head.

"No Rin we are not…" He said with a weary voice.

"Oh…" The little girl looked up at the demon lord. "Are we there now?" She asked again.

"No."

"Now?"

"No."

"Now?"

"NO!" Inuyasha shouted, making Rin scurry back to Shippo.

"I think Sesshomaru-sama's angry…" Rin stated quietly to the fox kit.

"Gee… Do yah think?" Shippo asked sarcastically. At that time, Sesshomaru had just woken up from the pleasant and kind of bumpy ride he had just taken for the last hour or so. "How long was I out..." he asked the two dragging him.

Sango shrugged before answering, "'Bout an hour or so…" Miroku smiled at the hanyou, a habit. "Besides, what don you never need to worry about? Kagome wouldn't leave you behind…"

Sesshomaru tried not to blush, but the hanyou body was not use to the lack of emotions… 'Damn it! Damn this hanyou body! Damn these freaking emotions!!!' He thought angrily. He knew his brother like the wenc- Err… girl.

"We're here…" Inuyasha said, marveled by the massive castle himself, and he couldn't quite help looking up at the highest tower in the center of the establishment. Cries from the servants roared as the little party arrived at the gates.

"Our lord's back!"

"Sesshomaru-sama, welcome back!"

All the welcome cries were pushed aside when one of the western lord's most trusted head of commands stride through the crowds. Surprisingly, it was a female, a hawk demon. Her hair went down to her shoulders, and feathers weaved through the her reddish-brown hair. She had two narrow horizontal v-shaped markings underneath each eye. Her piercing ice blue eyes glared at 'Inuyasha' and his friends. Taloned feet tapped against the hard dirt path, now meeting stone, as she asked with the same mellow, nonchalant voice as always, "Why, my lord, have you brought such strays along with you?" Her fangs shone at every speck of sunshine meeting it. Feathery wings sprouted from her back, each feather snow white dipped in tawny brown. Her tail was in the same fashion, as did her kimono and obi. She glared daggers still, and her armour was like Sesshomaru's, yet intended for a female bearer.

"Why do you grace our lands with such…Lowly creatures?" She asked again. Her finger tips were graced with one single, long, slander, black talon, that very same hand inching towards a very sharp spear, like Hakudoushi's.

The spear shaft itself was gold in color, the blade silver and lavender ribbons dangling from just below the blade.

"I'm sorry you feel that way, because this just so happens to be my brother and his 'friends'." Inuyasha said; trying to ignore the fact she just insulted his body, and companions. "As you know, my brother is the lost prince of the western lands."

At this bit of information, the demoness bit her lower lip. "My deepest apologies, Prince Inuyasha." She said, kneeling down before the hanyou, her spear strapped back onto her…Back. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes, and walked pass the hawk demoness.

"Whatever, Sephiroth…" Sesshomaru huffed, as Inuyasha lead them into the castle. As she was kneeled down, Sephiroth, obviously the demoness' dubbing, wondered this information. 'Strange… I have never told that hanyou my name yet… Quite bizarre…'

"Lady Kagome, this will be your chamber." A servant said, as Kagome nodded and looked in, the servant left. This single chamber was perhaps larger then the whole first floor of her house! The colors used in the room were vibrant, and everything looked to be of her favorite touch. But who could he have known? Inuyasha must have told him!

Miroku and Sesshomaru met in Sango's room, and got her to go to Kagome's room. Naturally, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha had an argument again because it was Sesshomaru's castle, and he had the right to remain in his own chamber. However, Inuyasha thought he might stay in that very chamber so they don't look so suspicious… Sesshomaru lost.

The little trio walked down the hall with the so called 'Inuyasha' walking in front of them, obviously because he knew this place like the back of his hand. Now that he was at Kagome's chamber door, he was fighting down the blush and hesitation again as he tapped gently on the fine paper doors.

"Come in!" Kagome called out, opening the screen door and letting in her 'friends'. The little group was laughing all afternoon, except for Sesshomaru, but it was okay anyways, because Inuyasha never laughed except when he fights anyways.


"Quite strange indeed… Lord Sesshomaru seemed to be suffering a personality change, and that 'Inuyasha' fellow knows more then he should, and both are acting out of normal behavior." Sephiroth debated with herself whether or not to seek the truth… "I'd better find out." She muttered silently, and dashed towards 'Sesshomaru's' chamber. There was some 'urgent' business to take care of….

-Knock-Knock-Knock-

"Proceed." Inuyasha replied, gazing out of the window with his arms crossed behind his back, and back facing Sephiroth. The hawk demoness went into an obvious, and reflexive respectful bow, while presenting her lord with 'information' previously discovered.

"Milord…" She said in a grave tone of voice. "The castle is under attack! What shall we do?" Of course, this information was made up, but Sephiroth was also very manipulative. She would see what 'Sesshomaru' would say…

"Err…." Inuyasha fumbled over words. Sesshomaru didn't have any of this in his memory! It seemed like the youkai was clockwork and could think out any solution! "What I meant to say was… Surround the perimeters! Tell every demon and being to stay on guard!"

Sephiroth nodded and left. "Just as I feared. My lord is not who he seemed to be… This 'imposter' is a very fake imitation… Sesshomaru would have question about the armies, troops, lands, or even where the attack was directed… This faker took my word, hook, line, and sinker… Next up… What to do…"

Inuyasha sweated a puddle. The castle was under attack?! Why was he so stupid not to notice!? Gods, he was messing up Sesshomaru's life! Wait. That wasn't such a bad thing…

Tomorrow, he would try to figure out how to get out of this position…

"I'm going to find out what's going on around here…" Sephiroth exclaimed, several servants looking at her as if she was crazy…

To be continued…


Author's Note: Well, there you have it folks! Someone's bright enough to pick up something's fishy in the air, and I don't mean Kirara's breathe… EW. Anyways, as you see, this story is coming to a slow end. I've got many other stories planned for the future! Look out for 'The Pet Chronicles'. Where demons take on the strangest of definitions… And humans rule the world? NOOO!!! Not to mention: 'What If…' A funny little alternate reality series where times hasn't changed all that much! Ja ne!
