Well, here's the chap.
Chapter 3 Sango's prying and Shippo's confessionAfter about 20 minutes of just being in each other's arms, Inuyasha and Kagome started to head back to camp. Kagome had already finished washing her face and Inuyasha had caught a few fish for breakfast like he had intended.
Miroku and Sango were at camp waiting for them. Once Inuyasha and Kagome started to just sit there, Sango and Miroku decided that they should go back before Shippo woke up and ran through the forest following their scent.
"Hey Sango. Sleep well?" Kagome asked walking over to her friend who was smiling uncontrollably. Kagome raised an eyebrow at her best friend's peculiar grin, but shrugged it off as just a Sango thing. But Miroku on the other hand, was staring at her and Inuyasha with a lecherous grin that gave away what he was thinking.
"What are you smiling at lecher?" Inuyasha asked, annoyed with the monk's expression.
"Oh my dear, dear friend. I am just smiling at how young love finds it's way to the best of people." Miroku said in his airy spiritual kind of voice. Inuyasha and Kagome's cheeks started to tint red. Kagome turned her face away to try and hide her blush from the persistent pervert. But Inuyasha took to the matter as an opportunity to yell at him.
"AND JUST WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!" Inuyasha yelled hotly.
"Nothing, nothing." Miroku said, trying to spare himself a merciless beating from Inuyasha.
"Miroku!" Inuyasha growled flexing his claws and cracking his knuckles. Kagome smiled wearily with a sweat drop rolling down the side of her face.
Sango took this opportunity to grab her friend and drag her away. But unfortunately for Sango, Inuyasha noticed.
"And just where do you think you are going?" He said, once again cracking his knuckles.
"Uh…um…to the uh…river! Yeah to the river, I need to wash up and I…uh…ran out of soap and am going to take Kagome with me. Ya know, girl talk." Sango said trying to cover up her tracks. Inuyasha glared at her and then looked at Kagome. A slightly softer expression on his face. He knew that if he tried to attack Sango or Miroku, he would probably get a big sitting for it. But to chase after them and see them run from him would make it all that much sweeter.
"(Growl) fine. But don't be too long. I'm starving and breakfast isn't going to cook itself!" Inuyasha growled, trying to cover up for his action of not killing them all. He glanced at Kagome to see she was smiling softly at him. He let escape a small smirk of his own and turned back to Miroku.
"Let's go Miroku, let's get some firewood." Inuyasha ordered. And like an obedient slave, Miroku followed after him. Shippo on the other hand, wanted to see how his plan turned out. He might not understand all of the details, but he understands a lot more than he lets on.
He was a little surprised though. Inuyasha said he would beat him first thing in the morning. But when he woke up, Inuyasha and Kagome were both gone and Miroku and Sango were sneaking into the woods.
He jumped and perched himself on Sango's shoulders.
"So Kagome what were you and Inuyasha doing in the forest this morning?" Sango asked.
Kagome looked over at her surprised and blushed deeply.
"Wh-what are you talking about?" Kagome stuttered.
"Oh Come on Kagome. Miroku and I saw you and Inuyasha in the woods! So I'm guessing that he told you how he felt about you or you did." Sango said with a sly smirk.
"Hey! That was a private conversation! Inuyasha's right, there is no privacy between you and Miroku!" Kagome screeched. Sango giggled.
"Nope, not when it comes to my best friend. Especially not since that best friend is like my sister." Sango said with a wink. Kagome gasped.
"You really think of me as your sister!" Kagome sounded surprised.
"Well of course!" Sango said laughing. Shippo didn't know what was going on at the moment. But he knew that if what Sango had said about seeing them in the woods then his plan had truly worked.
"So…What happened? Who confessed first?" Sango asked with platen curiosity.
"He did." Kagome whispered out. Sango squealed with happiness.
"Oh Kagome I'm so happy for you!" Sango said hugging her best friend to the point of choking.
"S-s-Sango I can't breath!" Sango let go.
"So what happened. What made him tell you?"
"I…I don't know. One minute I'm telling him to go see Kikyo because she was nearby and he could smell her. And the next thing I know, we're at the lake and he's telling me he loves me!" Kagome said hysterically.
"That's awesome Kagome."
"Yeah."
"Kagome…" Shippo said timidly.
"Yes? What is it Shippo?"
"Well, I did something. Something last night. To Inuyasha." Shippo said not looking at her but at the ground.
"What is it Shippo? What did you do?" Kagome asked in a sweet soft voice.
"Well, remember that powder I gave you to put in Inuyasha and my soup?"
"Yes."
"Well, I got it from Kaede. I asked if she had some potion that could switch Inuyasha and my bodies. I was just so tired of him making you cry and being so damn dense as to why you did so that I wanted him to see. So I gave you the powder and Inuyasha and I switched bodies last night, after supper." Shippo confessed. Kagome and Sango gasped.
"Shippo, was this before or after Kagome and I went to the hotsprings?" Sango asked.
"B-before." Kagome's face went beat red.
"So…So that was Inuyasha! You mean Inuyasha went into the hotsprings with Sango and I and saw us naked? AND HEARD ME TELL SANGO THAT I…" Kagome was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do. Yell at Inuyasha or scream at Shippo for not telling her about their switch, or thank him and hug him for showing Inuyasha how she really felt.
"Shippo…" Kagome finally spoke after a few long moments of silence.
"I'm so mad right now that I could punch someone. But at the same time…" Kagome looked up with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes.
"I'm so happy that you did what you did that I could kiss you." Kagome said softly.
Shippo smiled and sighed with relief. But he knew he wasn't off the hook yet. He still had the horrific Inuyasha beating to go through. So, with an evil grin on his face and a small laugh he made up his mind.
"And Inuyasha said that he was going to pummel me to within an inch of my life today for switching us." Shippo whined.
Kagome looked at him for a moment. Contemplating on what to say.
"Well, I guess he should, but I'll talk to him okay." Shippo was shocked to hear Kagome say that. She had never agreed that he be hit on the head for something.
"K-Kagome?" Shippo stuttered.
"Don't worry Shippo, he's not going to hurt you. I won't let him." Kagome smiled and patted his head. Shippo sighed with relief.
After Sango finished washing her face they headed back to camp.
When they got there, Miroku was lying on the ground nearly unconscious and Inuyasha was up in a tree, his face so red that a cherry would be put to shame.
Flash back…
"So Inuyasha, what were you and Kagome doing by the river?" Miroku pried.
"What?" Inuyasha growled.
"What were you two doing?" Miroku asked with a lecherous grin.
"Why?"
"Well, my dear friend. I was walking through the woods and just happened upon you and Kagome sharing a wonderful kiss. And If I say so myself, It's about time too." Miroku said. And frankly I think he just sealed his death sentence. Miroku looked over at his flustered friend with a smirk. But his smirk…soon turned to pure horror as his friends aura became massively infuriated.
"(Gulp) I-I-Inuyasha?" Inuyasha flexed his claws and was growling. He then balled up his fist and began to mercilessly pound Miroku to within an inch of his life.
End Flash back…"Inuyasha? What did you do?" Kagome asked walking over to Miroku and bending down to see if he was alive.
"He was spying on us!" Inuyasha yelled angrily down at them. Kagome sighed as Inuyasha furiously jumped down from the tree.
"Inuyasha…" That tone in her voice.
"Oh no." He whined.
"SIT BOY!" She shouted.
Inuyasha yelped and was pulled face first to meet the ground. Hard.
"Serves you right!" Kagome shouted, storming off towards Kaede's hut. Shippo jumped off of Sango's shoulder and stood at the foot of the hanyou sized crater where Inuyasha still lay.
"(Sigh) Idiot. Didn't that spell teach you anything?" Shippo said with a low sigh. Sango scrunched up her face in fear as Inuyasha sat up, eyes a blaze, staring coldly down at Shippo.
"Oh yeah…that reminds me." Inuyasha said with an evil tone of voice.
Shippo froze and looked up at the outraged Inuyasha.
"Inu-yasha…don't…don't do it…" Shippo stuttered. Inuyasha rose his fist into the air.
"KAGOME!" Shippo cried running away from Inuyasha.
"GET BACK HERE SHIPPO SO YOU CAN RECEIVE YOUR BEATING!" Inuyasha cried. Chasing after the frightened kitsune.
Meanwhile, at Naraku's castle…"Naraku?" Kikyo called out demandingly.
"Kikyo, what a pleasant surprise." Naraku said in the shadows.
"Come out here. I have a deal to propose." She said. Intrigued Naraku stepped out of the shadows.
"I'm listening." Naraku said with a wondrous smirk.
"I am in need of your assistance."
"About?"
Kikyo was silent for a moment. But them…
"Inuyasha." She said coldly and Naraku's interests peaked.
"Tell me."
