Disclaimer: Isn't it obvious that I do not own Inuyasha? But if I did...hehehehe!

A/N: I have nothing to say

Chapter Four

Later that same day Miroku and Shippo found Inuyasha sulking under the braches of the Goshinboku. Inuyasha was kinda in a funk and the fact that he couldn't even use his demonic abilities to climb up the long slender body of the Sacred Tree hurled him into a deeper funk. Concealing himself within the leaves of the tree he had been sealed to fifty years ago was the first place in his era that he would run to for comfort and to think about things. Inuyasha sat cross legged between the great tangled roots at the base of the tree and rested his head on the hard, smooth bark. He sighed deeply and longingly stared up into the branches. He envied the small creatures and birds that could sit on it's strong beautiful branches. The leaves of the tree scattered the sunlight and created mysterious patterns on the earth from which the Goshinboku and every living thing survived on.

So many thoughts ran through Inuyasha's head. His heart was filled with confusment, concern, disbelief, weakness, anger, sorrow, and many other emotions that he couldn't recall ever feeling before. Inuyasha smirked half-heartidly and assumed that he was getting emotional because he was in Kagome's body and was most likely prone to more emotions. A peaceful aura fell upon the area around Inuyasha, but he seemed to be the only thing to experience unpeacefulness. His soul thrashed about inside Kagome's frail body until an overwhelming weakness befell him and seemed to numb him. No thought ran through his mind, all he felt was exhaustion.

"You know, ladies shouldn't sit like that. It gives lechers the perfect opportunity to catch a glimpse." a smooth voice chuckled.

Suddenly a heavy hand landed on his shoulder and he jerked upright, his breath caught in his throat and whatever oxygen was lucky enough escaped his mouth in a gasp. He snapped his head around and found himself face to face with a smiling Miroku and hyper Shippo. Inuyasha regained his normal breathing and cursed to himself.

"What the hell are you sneakin' up on me for?" Inuyasha shouted angirly and a slight red color burned hotly on his cheeks and expressed his anger and embarrasment.

Miroku chuckled again and Inuyasha repositioned his legs underneath his body. Inuyasha felt really embarrased, but he wasn't about to let the monk know that. Too bad he already gave it away, though. Shippo ignored Miroku and walked over to examine Inuyasha. Inuyasha glared at the child.

"What?" Inuyasha spat out as he glared Tetsusaiga's at him.

Shippo cried out and cowered behind Miroku's dark robes. Inuyasha used his trademark 'feh', crossed his arms and looked away. Miroku's dark eyes held compassion for Inuyasha.

"Let's go for a walk, shall we Inuyasha?" Miroku suggested.

Inuyasha slowly turned his head back around and gazed at Miroku in curiosity.

"I understand that you are going through a difficult time. Maybe talking about it will help make it more bearable?" Miroku explained.

"Feh. Yeah right," Inuyasha muttered. In truth, Inuyasha actually did want to talk to someone...or something. Inuyasha almost gave into the urge of talking to a squirrel, but it skittered away and Inuyasha tried to throw a nut at it. Yeah, talking would be a good thing - even if it was a lecherous monk like Miroku.

Inuyasha stood and the three of them walked off into the forest in silence before they started to converse and Inuyasha expressed his current feelings.

Kagome was kinda doing the same thing. Kagome was sitting in a small field of wild flowers when Sango found her. Sango approached Kagome from behind, but even before she was within two yards of her, Kagome uttered her name and turned around. Sango was slightly shocked but smiled and sat down.

"You could hear me, huh?" Sango asked kindly and picked a nearby flower that had caught her interest.

"Yeah," Kagome said as she looked at a flower as well. "That and I could smell you."

Sango smiled and began to make a flower chain. Kagome had already made three chains and six necklaces and crowns and was working on another necklace. The two girls sat in the same spot and made flower chains and necklaces and crowns and laughed for around half an hour. Then they put their new accessories on and argued about which ones were crafted better.

"No way, mine are way better than those dinky things!" Kagome giggled.

"Uh! Excuse me, how can you even call that a necklace?" Sango tried to sound angry but couldn't help but end the sentence in giggles.

"Simple," Kagome said and placed the ring around Sango's neck. "you can wear it on your neck. Therefore it's a necklace."

The girls giggled for a while longer and just sat in the field, enjoying each other's company. After they had sobered up, Kagome's eyes softened and she stared down at the flowers in her hands.

"Thank you," she said softly.

"For what?" Sango asked and looked at her friend. Kagome was silent for a while before repling.

"For keeping me company and being my friend." Kagome answered. "This is very difficult for me and I can only imagine how bad it must be for Inuyasha. He's stuck in a human's body, my body. He must feel completely helpless..." Kagome could do nothing about the sadness and guilt that overcame her or the tears swelling in the corners of her eyes.

Sango laid a comforting arm around her shoulders and drew her friend into a warm hug.

"It's going to be alright, Kagome. Don't worry too much about Inuyasha. Miroku and Shippo went to talk to him." Sango said and smiled reassuringly. Kagome smiled back and thanked her.

"Wow, look at me. I must be a mess." Kagome exclaimed and wiped her eyes.

Sango just laughed.

A look of horror suddenly crossed Kagome's face. Sango stared at her in concern.

"What's wrong?" she asked worridly.

"I - I've just realized," Kagome said softly as she turned to face Sango.

"How - how am I going to take a bath?" Kagome continued in fear.

Sango stared at Kagome and it took all her self control to keep from laughing. How was she going to take a bath? How was she going to be able to bath in Inuyasha's body? She couldn't even imagine what Kagome would have to do when she had to answer 'natures' call'.

"Hehehe, I'm sorry Kagome," Sango apologized as she doubled over with laughter. "But the thought of you taking a bath in Inuyasha's body is..." she paused to laugh. "...and then there's the thought of you going to the bathroom...hahaha! Oh Kagome, I'm so sorry."

"You're not helping," Kagome pouted and pointed out, but Sango was still laughing uncontrolably.

Back with Inuyasha

"So Inuyasha," Miroku smirked and stared at Inuyasha strangely. Inuyasha noticed this and backed away from Miroku nervously.

"What's it like?" Miroku continued.

"W - what are you talking about?" Inuyasha demanded nervously as he continued to enlarge the gap between them. His personal space bubble had just grown about twice it's size.

"You know..." Miroku grinned. "what's it like being in Kagome's body?"

"Uh..."

"Come on, Inuyasha! If I were in you position I'd take my chance now. Something like this may never happen again." the lecherous monk declared.

Inuyasha stared at Miroku in bafflement. Inuyasha had come to the conclusion that Miroku had just reached a whole new level of pervertedness.

"You corrupt monk!" Shippo cried angirly, but couldn't help but blush at the idea.

"Miroku, you're such a perverted idiot! There's no way that I'd ever take advantage of Kagome like that! I'm not like you!" Inuyasha roared and pointed an accusing finger at Miroku

Inuyasha couldn't help but blush either. He tried to get the blush to go away but he couldn't. Inuyasha shook his head and tried to get the image of Kagome out of his head. He also had no control over himself when he glimpsed down at his body. Miroku laughed and threw an arm around Inuyasha's shoulders. Inuyasha cringed and tried to escape him.

"Oh Inuyasha," Miroku sighed and shook his head. "I can't believe that you'd pass up an opportunity such as this."

Inuyasha then proceeded to beat Miroku sensless and stalked off, still blushing, leaving Shippo to transform and carry the 'once again unconscious' Miroku back to the village.

A/N: Hey. I'm sorry if this is kinda bad. I'm kinda in a hurry and I did this all in one night. I'm kinda surprised. I'm also sorry if there are any mis-spellings because I currently do not have access to Word or a dictionary, so just deal with it. Oh ya, I'm not sure if I spelled it right, but Goshinboku is suppose to be the Sacred God Tree or whatever. That's why there's a star there. Anyways, I'm glad that you're all enjoying it. I'm debating on whether I should have Kagome take a bath or not. To bathe or not to bathe? That is the question. Tell me in your review if you want her to or not, along with other ideas. Toodles for now. Thank you all!

Remember to Review!
