Chapter Six
"How sad. His wife passed away," Kagome said as she was walking along side her bike with her usual strange company of demons and friends. "I wonder if her death had anything to do with the soul switching demon."
"Feh, who cares," Inu Yasha commented, his arms crossed. "As long as we got that demon's name that's all that matters."
"But what if one of us has to die in order for the soul switching to work?" Shippo asked, his usual fear now seen in Miroku's face. "What if it has to be me? No I don't want to do this anymore!"
Kagome turned to face him. "Don't worry, Shippo, no one's going to die."
"Man!" Inu Yasha yelled in frustration. "How is it that you know who is in whose body? I get all confused!" He held up his hands to his head.
Kagome smiled warmly, radiating through Naraku's evil aurora. "It's just that you haven't been here long enough to get used to it. I did sorta push you down the well the first day this happened."
Inu Yasha brought down his hands and crossed his arms again. "Sorta!"
"Oh come on you know what I mean."
"No I don't! You practically shoved me into that well with no regards at all for my safety!"
"Oh don't be stupid! You've gone through that well enough times to know how it works. Your safety is up to you anyways. There's nothing I can do once you're inside the well."
"And just what is that supposed to mean!"
"Please, Inu Yasha," Miroku spoke calmly through Inu Yasha's loud words. "Keep it down. Kirara is asleep." He acknowledged the sleeping demon cat that rode in Sango's arms. It was the reason they were walking back to the village. Something in the soup had strong knock out effects on demons, at least the little ones.
"But Kagome started it!" Inu Yasha complained to Miroku.
"But she's not the one yelling."
Kagome gave a mocking laugh aimed towards Inu Yasha, accompanied with the childish action of sticking her tongue out.
"Do you think maybe we should rest in the next village?" Sango put an end to the arguments. "It is getting late and in the condition we are, I don't think we will be able to handle any demons that may appear."
"That would be wise..." Miroku commented.
"Okay then maybe there we can-" Sango cut herself off as she lifted her head and sniffed the air. It was a familiar scent that sent rays of hatred through Inu Yasha's body. It was amazing how Sango knew the source of the scent even though she was not too familiar with it. It must be some demon thing...
"Um," she said turning around to her friends that all gave her a quizzical look. "I think it's best if we get out of here as-"
Too late.
The mini tornado was seen coming at them, cutting down everything in its way until it reached its target: Kagome.
"Kouga..." Inu Yasha hissed as he saw the wolf demon inching towards him. 'Ah hell!' He thought. 'I forgot...I am Kagome!...Wait a second...this can prove to be entertaining...'
'Oh no!' thought Kagome in horror. 'I'm in Naraku's body! Kouga too wants revenge on him for the slaughter of his tribe! He's gonna kill me!"
'Wait a moment...' Sango pondered. 'I'm in Inu Yasha's body. Doesn't Kouga want to kill him?'
"Well Shippo," Miroku said turning towards him in his body. He seemed to have gotten used to it. "I think we should sit this one out. I don't think we have any worried thoughts to think about. Let's sit back and enjoy the show."
"Yeah," he agreed. "Maybe we can get some of that 'popcorn' from Kagome's bag."
Kirara, who had finally woken up due to Kouga's loud entrance, walked up to Shippo and Miroku with a bag that read 'Buttery Popcorn" in her mouth.
"Alright Kirara!" Shippo said as she grabbed the bag.
"Now, how do we make it...uh...pop?" Miroku asked.
"Ah, Kagome," Kouga said as he walked up to her or at least the physical body itself that was at that moment inhabited by Inu Yasha. Kouga's usual habit of grasping Kagome's hand between his own was performed.
"Has mutt face taken good care of you?" he asked looking at Kagome with his usual expression that showed his total devotion towards her.
"Hey wolf boy let go of me!" Inu Yasha spat as he tried to wedge his hand free.
Kouga easily released the hand as he first became aware of Naraku's presence. "Well, well, well," he said walking towards who he thought was Naraku. "It seems the lovely scent of Kagome had blocked my scenes from acknowledging your presence."
'Lovely scent?' Inu Yasha thought in awe. 'Then again I never knew Kouga had such a high vocabulary...acknowledging...'
"Uh...um..." Kagome began to panic as Kouga now made his way before her, a sinister look in his eyes.
"I'm going to enjoy this," Kouga snickered.
'Damn!' Inu Yasha thought. 'I forgot that Kagome's in Naraku's body. What should I do?' He looked up at Kouga's walking figure and gulped. 'Sorry Kagome!'
"Hey Kouga!" Inu Yasha yelled in the sexist tone he could muster in Kagome's voice which to his surprise wasn't too hard (or unpleasing for that matter) to accomplish.
Kouga turned, also pleased by the tone that radiated form Kagome's throat. He smiled. "Please Kagome. I know that you are worried about me but don't worry. I'll kill Naraku."
Kagome flinched inside Naraku's body. 'Ah! Inu Yasha help me!'
"But Kouga..." Inu Yasha insisted in the pleasant and alluring vocals Kagome's voice seem to naturally have. It was so enticing that even Shippo and Miroku were distracted from the shredded popcorn bag before them. Even Kagome herself was amazed at...uh...herself...
Kouga began to walk up to Inu Yasha, clearly more mesmerized than ever by Kagome's way of being. Once in front of him, Inu Yasha, behind Kouga's back, waved at Kagome to slowly inch away from the scene.
Understanding Inu Yasha, Kagome deliberately inched her way towards the heavy vegetation that would safely conceal her. There she planned to break into a run away from Kouga's nose and hopefully hope Kouga wouldn't chase after her. She could only pray that Inu Yasha would hold him off.
As she crawled over, Kagome noticed Sango standing a few feet away from Inu Yasha and Kouga. 'Strange...' Kagome thought. 'Kouga hasn't picked up on Inu Yasha's scent.' She suddenly blushed. 'Is my voice really that...binding?'
"Kouga..." Inu Yasha teased as he twirled Kagome's hair around his fingers. He remembered watching a show while waiting for Kagome to emerge from her room one day. The girl had the guy in a similar lock and would do and say several things that would keep the guy's attention. Inu Yasha didn't really think it would work until now. Not that he had any thoughts of using it or anything...
Sango, who still remained feet away from the scene watched with an undescribable expression on her face. 'This is embarrassing. Inu Yasha is literally flirting with one of his most hated enemies...Inu Yasha is flirting with Kouga...' She sighed. 'Just to make sure that Kagome safely gets away, I think I'll go help her. Kouga isn't looking this way anyway.'
She turned and began walking towards the still slinking Kagome when, as fate would have it, (or maybe it was bad luck!) she stepped on a twig. "Uh-oh..." she gulped eyes wide, slowly turning towards Kouga.
The cracking noise of a dry twig reached the sensitive ears of Kouga. It was a disturbing and evil noise for it shattered the delicacy that Kagome's voice was creating. Annoyed beyond all reason, Kouga turned to the soon dead being that had caused it.
"Mutt face!" he cried seeing who he thought to be Inu Yasha.
'Damn! Now Sango's in trouble. I'm sure she doesn't know how to fight in my body, demon exterminator or not!' Inu Yasha desperately thought what to do. Then he recalled something else in that show he saw that day. There was something the girl did...
'Sorry Kagome! Please forgive me one more time!'
Blocking out all thoughts to make his task more bearable, Inu Yasha reached out and grasping Kouga's face between his hands, he brought him closer to his face. Inu Yasha then kissed Kouga.
o.O...XD I usually don't laugh at my work because I don't find it funny at times, but that Kouga and Inu Yasha scene was to die for! Ha! That was so cool! I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did writing it! Thanks for reading and leaving your thoughts!
