Disclaimer: How many times do you insane people want me to say that I do not own Inuyasha!
A/N: Oh yes, I would also like to let all of you beautiful people know that I do not have bad grammar (my spelling my suck like a vacume, but my grammar is pretty good). for some insane reason, will not show some of my punctuations, such as (!) (?) (-) and stuff. I'm just informing you, because another author is also suffering from these same things.
Anyways, on with the story. -DON'T FORGET TO READ AND REVIEW "INTO THE INUYASHA WORLD" WRITTEN BY MY COMPANION SESSISHOT2005!

Chapter Two
Outside of Kaede's hut the sky was dark and clear of clouds as the stars timidly began to reveal themselves to the night. The crickets softly began to chirrup their warm lullaby as many of the small woodland creatures retired to their nests and dens for the night. A night owl let out a long screech as it flew off into the night to find its unfortunate prey. A warm breeze drifted over the village and settled around Kaede's house, creeping through the open window and washed over everything in the room, causing the flame to dance slightly faster for a brief moment.
Inuyasha could feel the wind playing around on his face and in his hair, beckoning him to wake up. He gave into the winds' request and slowly forced his eyes open. He found himself lying on his back in Kaede's hut, staring at the ceiling. He jammed a fist into his eyes to rub the sleep out of them, that's when he noticed that his deadly claws were missing. Inuyasha panicked for a split second and rolled over onto his side, still staring at his hand. A stray lock of his hair fell across this face and it was not white or silver, but a raven black. Inuyasha's eyes widened with confusion.
'What the hell!' Inuyasha screamed in his head. He examined his clawless hand and then clamped it to his aching head. 'I'm human! I can't be...it's not a new moon, is it?'
Inuyasha pondered this and tried to sniff out something or hear a small cat prowling on the outskirts of the village, but found that he could not. This confirmed his suspicions. Inuyasha craned his neck from where he lay to get a glimpse of the moon outside the window and found that it was almost the complete opposite. Outside the window the 'almost full' moon smiled down at him from the cloudless night sky. Utter confusion heavily washed over him as Inuyasha glared at the pale moon. Despite his aching body's' protest, he sat up and said aloud"I don't like this...huh"
Inuyasha was shocked to find another disturbing fact...his voice wasn't his. Now Inuyasha was extremely confused. His voice sounded waaay more feminine and tiny. He looked around the hut and saw Shippo curled up with Kirara, Sango and Miroku snuggled together (they didn't start out that way ), and Kaede huddled and sleeping around the fire. Kagome was missing from the group so he looked around the hut and couldn't find her. He hopped up in fear and frantically whipped his head around in search for Kagome when he heard a gruff sound behind him. He quickly spun around and saw himself lying on a mat beside his own.
His eyes widened as he stared at himself lying on the floor. After a few moments of thinking he came to a suspicion and dreaded to confirm it. Slowly he began to look down at his own body and when he saw himself his eyes nearly popped out of his head and he let out a very shrill shriek.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS"
Inuyasha ran his hand over his new features, in hopes to find out that this was all one sick dream that he would soon wake up from. His new body felt so real under his hands and it scared him half to death. Then he realized that this was a woman's body. He blushed and really started to freak out now.
"Kagome, what is it? What's the matter" Kaede asked with concern as she woke up from her sleep along with the others.
Inuyasha turned to look at them in confusion.
"You fools, I'm not Kagome" Inuyasha growled and gasped because his voice sounded just like Kagome's. Everyone else was clearly puzzled.
"Lady Kagome, what are you talking about" Miroku asked sleepily and rubbed a bump on his head.
Sango's eye was twitched and she was blushing crazily because when she woke up she found herself snuggled tightly in Miroku's arms. Not that she minded or anything, but she still freaked out.
"I'm tellin' ya for the last time, I'm not Kagome" Inuyasha shouted loudly.
"Hnn? What's going on, you guys" a new, yet familiar, voice entered the conversation.
Everyone turned around and say the silver haired half demon sit up and stifle a yawn with his hand. He turned and looked over everyone but stopped on Inuyasha. His eyes widened and he screamed rather loudly.
"EEEK! What are you doing in my body"
"You fool! You're the one who's in MY body" Kagome (Inuyasha actually) shouted back.
Kaede stepped in before anyone could say anything more. She looked at both of them for a short while before speaking her wisdom and opinion.
"Hmm. It seems that Kagome and Inuyasha's spirits have exchanged bodies." Kaede mused.
"WHAT" Kagome and Inuyasha cried in unison and stared at each other.
"Sit down and let's talk about this rationally" Kaede instructed and the others sat down as well. After a short period of time had passed a few things had been established.
"So" Miroku said thoughtfully. "The demoness, Uraiz, who attacked Inuyasha and lady Kagome earlier today, used some sort of black magic to curse them and cause their souls to exchange bodies."
"Aye" Kaede said. "So it appears."
"But why would she attack you" Sango pondered. "I mean, she even gave Kagome the shard Naraku gave her to aid her in defeated us. Do you think it's a trap"
"Knowing Naraku, it probably is" Miroku said as he played with his prayer beads on his forearm.
"She probably knows how to lift the curse, too" Sango announced.
During most of the conversation Inuyasha and Kagome had remained quiet, soaking up all this information. Inuyasha, in rage, jumped up and growled"Then we have to go and hunt this Uraiz demon down" (A/N: please keep in mind that Inuyasha is in Kagome's body and Kagome is in Inuyasha's body. So when I say Inuyasha, think of Kagome-same goes for Kagome. I know, it's confusing)
"How can we find her if we don't even know where she is" Sango asked gloomily.
"I don't suppose that lady Kagome would be able to sniff her out..." Miroku added.
Kagome sighed. "I really wish you guys wouldn't be so pessimistic about this." This seemed to get through to her friends that their attitude really wasn't doing much to help the situation. The apologized and for the first time, Shippo spoke up as something suddenly clicked in his head.
"I think I know where we can find her" Shippo shouted excitedly.
Inuyasha bopped the little kitsune on the head and said lowly"Then why didn't you say something earlier"
Shippo cried and cowered behind Kaede, still not completely used the seeing Kagome's body abusing him. 'Wow, this is really confusing. It's gonna be so odd to sleep with Kagome if she's in Inuyasha's body...' he thought as he began to explain to the group what he knew about Uraiz.
"Uraiz was a black vixen right? Well, not many fox demons are black, and really the only ones who are black are part of a certain notorious clan. The clan never really gave themselves a name, so they're usually referred to as the 'Nameless Ones'. They're known for their dark magic and lethal swiftness. They really are a breed to reckon with, and their extremely lethal, so it's no wonder Naraku would've chosen her for an assaination job."
"Oh yes, I believe I have heard rumors of this clan of demons" Kaede said.
"But from the look of the situation, when I showed up" Inuyasha commented. "She wasn't trying to be stealthy one bit. She wasn't hiding in the shadows or anything. It was a completely direct confrontation."
"Exactly" Kagome added. "She just showed up out of no where and began to follow me. I started to run and she just ran after me, not caring to hide herself."
"Hmm..." Kaede thought carefully. "Well, I do not know much about these, but I do know one important thing that ye all must heed. If ye do not heed my advice, it may prove to be critical to everyone." All attention was on her as she dramatically paused.
"We all need sleep." Kaede uncharacteristically chirped
Everyone sweat dropped and fell over. Inuyasha and Kagome were the first to recover and jumped to their feet.
"How on earth do you expect me to get any sleep in this body" he demanded.
Kagome glared at Inuyasha and asked"Oh yeah? What's so wrong with my body? I think it's pretty nice."
Inuyasha flinched and looked down at his (Kagome's) body and poked it. Kagome, unable to prevent him from touching her body, blushed and screamed at him.
"Hey! Don't go thinking that you can go and screw around with my body! I swear, if you do anything..." Kagome left off threateningly.
Inuyasha fidgeted and blushed as he actually realized that he was in Kagome's body. Kagome's body. The girl he has had secret feelings for the past few months now. He quickly withdrew his hands to his sides and began sit down.
"Eh he, um, why don't we all just sit" Inuyasha was unable to complete his sentence for the necklace around Kagome's neck glowed before dragging her to the floor. Kagome shrieked as her face made contact with the wooden floor. Inuyasha stared at her in shock. Then he smirked as he sat down.
"Feh. Now you know how it feels to get 'sat', you stupid wench."
Everyone soon settled down to sleep that night, except for Inuyasha and Kagome. The tossed and turned on their mats, unable to clear their minds or fall victim to world of slumber. Finally, just a few hours before dawn, sleep took them and they decided that they wouldn't travel after Naraku or this new demon for at least a day or two.
A/N: Well, what do you think? As I mentioned earlier, the website is acting up and makes it look like I have bad grammar, but I don't, so NAH!
