Story: Change of Body
Just to let you guys know, I sign reviews as "Me" or as Minuiko, not "The Big Pen." No, Minuiko is not my real name.
Enjoy!
(Hopefully, you'll know by now that Inuyasha's POV is in Shuuichi's body, Hiei's POV in Miroku's, etc.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Chapter Three
Shuuichi's POV
I brought the wood in carefully. Suddenly, a couple of stray dogs wandered over to me and began to lick my hands. I laughed. It must've been Inuyasha's scent.
Then I looked around the orphanage. It was a small, cramped place (Not to mention messy). I didn't see how anyone could live in a dump like this. I wrinkled my nose at the old, dusty smell. Then I wondered, "Are all humans' noses as good as Inuyasha's?" I mean, I could smell things I knew that I couldn't in Shuuichi's, I mean, MY body.
I went to the river in the woods for some water. Sighing, I got a wet rag and began to clean the place up.
*~*~*~*~ An hour later ~*~*~*~*
Shuuichi's POV
The old woman, who called herself Kaede, walked in. "Inuyasha, what are you- "
I looked up from my work. Wiping my forehead, I asked her politely, "Anything wrong?"
She looked amazed. Most of the room was spotless, except for the one table that I was now cleaning. Her hands flew to her face, and said in a teary voice, "No, nothing. What has happened, Inuyasha, for this sudden change of mood?"
I pondered. "I don't really know. I just figured this place needed a bit of cleaning up . . ."
She said while walking away, "Ye did a good job. Ye had best clean up, the kids will be coming in soon."
I finished with the table, swelling with pride. I bet Inuyasha never had a feeling like this, because he was too stubborn to care. Inuyasha . . . I bet he was in my body . . . a note of panic rose in my nerves. What if he WAS in my body?! My reputation would be ruined forever!!! It didn't help that I was helping his reputation get better.
Groaning, I cleaned up and walked outside.
*~*~*~*~ The Next Day ~*~*~*~*
Hiei's POV
I had to walk with that bubbly, hyper, talk-too-much and overprotective woman to her house and then to mine, yesterday. Is this what they do all day? I checked the clock. It was time for school. I was in my, aka Miroku's, house, not the old run-down orphanage that I had met Inuyasha at.
Flipping aside one of the many magazines bearing female models that inhabited Miroku's room, I grabbed my school bag and walked to school. I thought, /What are the Kami no Koori's going to do without me?/ (A/N The Kami no Koori is the name of Inuyasha's band of trouble-makers, sort of like the Marauders, if you've read Harry Potter. Kami no Koori means Ice God, I believe ^_^)
Sango (that WAS her name, right?) had been waiting for m in the middle of the road. She came up and smiled at me. Taking my hand, she chirped, "Now, let's go, shall we?"
Inwardly, I groaned. This was gonna be a long day.
*~*~*~*~ School ~*~*~*~*
Miroku's POV
That day was very pleasant and horrible at the same time. I met Inuyasha at the orphanage in Hiei's body. I didn't even know he was an orphan! I saw him scrubbing the tables and working like a dog (A/N Ironic, no?). I didn't want to bother him, and I don't think he saw me.
I was walking to school with a very, very cute girl named Yukina. She had long green hair that was tied in a ponytail and sparkling crimson eyes, like Hiei. I wanted to ask her out or something, as Hiei had a lot of potential in the romance department (A/N I agree), but couldn't yet.
In school, I couldn't resist. I inched closer to her. And closer (A/N Gross, Miroku! Don't you know that's *your* sister?!)
*~*~*~*~ Hiei's POV ~*~*~*~*
I saw my body. It was walking with Yukina, inching slowly closer. My body's face looked gentler than it usually was, rather cute, but also rather horny. I saw that hand reach out. God-damn it!!!(A/N . . . are censors annoying? I think I'll stop. But don't try to blackmail me in school because I didn't censor something!) That was my SISTER!!!
Running as fast as I could in Miroku's pathetically slow body, I managed to grab him away into the boys' bathroom. He stared at me, or rather, at himself. Then he said slowly, "Hiei . . .?"
I hissed, "Yes, you lecher! I don't need to ask you who you are, you're obviously Miroku! I mean, can't you control yourself?"
He blushed, which looked very strange on my own body, and muttered, "No."
I continued in a hushed voice, "That was my sister you almost groped!!!"
He stared at me, very taken aback. I glared at him. "Yes, MY SISTER!!! What would've happened if you succeeded?!"
He guessed innocently, "I would've been slapped?"
I groaned. "No! Yukina's never violent. She would've asked you what you just did, why you did it, what that action means, etc, etc! You wouldn't know the answer, would you? And if you mislead her, she could get into serious trouble!"
He said softly, "You care about her."
I stared at him. He was right. But I was Hiei . . . the quiet, cold, deadly, swift . . . I wasn't supposed to care. I snorted. "Don't be ridiculous."
He smiled, another thing that looked strange on my face. "You're lying. Oh, and I'm sorry."
I closed my eyes. "You're forgiven. Don't let me catch you again; I HAVE a reputation, you know. One more thing . . ."
He replied, "What?"
I showed him my, aka his, earlobe, asking sheepishly, "How do you take off these things?" He smiled. "Earrings? Here, let me show you . . ."
*~*~*~*~ Nutrition ~*~*~*~*
Shuuichi's POV
I was walking around in Inuyasha's body, being pushed around. I could easily stand up for myself in my own body; I was a master in practically everything. But I just wasn't used to being called a bunch of names that I wasn't.
Kagome was walking with me to my locker. She asked me concernedly, "Are you alright, Inuyasha? You've been awfully quiet."
Inuyasha AGAIN. I sighed, smiling. "No, I'm alright."
Now I know why Kagome's so popular and well-liked. She cares about everyone and everything. She tried to defend both Kouga and me this morning when he called me a mutt-face. I didn't react to it at all, but was grateful when she stopped Kouga from continuing.
She added with disgust, "Look at him! He used to act so nice, but he's beginning to show his true colors. I didn't believe it for a moment when he told his bitches to sod off, it must've been an act. Look at him now!"
She nodded towards someone who looked eerily familiar . . . I gasped. It was me! Or, actually, Shuuichi, in her opinion. He was flirting with five different girls at a time. I wrinkled my nose. It had to be Inuyasha in there.
I walked towards my body angrily. I clean up his own reputation and he ruins mine?! I grabbed him by the arm and headed into the boys' bathroom. To my surprise, both Hiei and Miroku were in there, Miroku hissing something that sounded like, "You promised!" (A/N Yes, Hiei is in Miroku's body, so Shuuichi's thinks that Hiei is Miroku)
Hiei looked at us and pulled Miroku out of the bathroom. I dragged Inuyasha (A/N I'm calling them by their proper names, if the person whose POV it is knows it's them. Try not to get confused!) into the bathroom as they left.
I hissed at him, "What was that for?"
He smirked. "You're the pretty boy, am I correct?"
I frowned. "I don't wish to be referred to as that, mutt-face."
He started to smile. "You're just showing your bad side. Nothing wrong."
I scowled. "I don't have a bad side. I DO NOT flirt with sluts, not like you do. I bet my room is a mess. And you probably got grounded by Mother, something that's never happened to me since I was born."
Inuyasha (In my body, so that people were starting to stare a bit) smirked. "Oooh, good boy (A/N in my opinion, it's the worst and best quote from Hiei in the show). You never acted at all, did you? Lemme tell you something, Shuuichi. No man is all perfect. I'm just helping you to stop acting the part."
I growled, "All this adds up to is that you're turning me into a careless street punk."
He put on an innocent face. "No. But you do need to lighten up a bit. I can help you there."
I got it. He didn't mean me harm but couldn't change his ways, so he made it look as though my politeness had been an act. I scowled again. "Don't ruin my image too much."
Closing my eyes, I went into third period.
*~*~*~*~ Last period (A/N I thought it would me fun to add this in) ~*~*~*~*
Kagome's POV
It was math class. Inuyasha was sitting behind me, actually IN CLASS. I smiled, passing a note to him. // You didn't skip? //
He wrote back in a neat, tidy flourish that even I couldn't imitate, // I'm here, am I not? //
I grinned. I wrote back, // Where did you learn to write like that? // He gave one of his rare smile, writing, // That, my friend, you may never know //
I gave a fake pout and continued, // Shuuichi looks weird today, huh? // It was the truth; he was barely paying attention and looked ready to jump out of the classroom with boredom.
He frowned a bit and looked away, rather distant. Was it something I wrote? He seemed a bit protective of Shuuichi's already diminishing reputation. I sighed and scribbled a drawing on the back of my homework paper.
The teacher called out, "Higurashi Kagome! Since you are PAYING SO CLOSE ATTENTION, I would like you to answer question fourteen in your math book, please." (A/N *Shivers* Reminds me of Mrs. Olson. This does not apply to people not in Portola Middle School ^_^)
I gulped. I hadn't been paying attention. The class went deadly silent. Inuyasha was smiling. I looked down at the notes we were writing, a bit sheepish. Then I gasped. Inuyasha had written something there in an elaborate cursive. I answered, "Five N squared minus three."
Inuyasha smiled quietly. The teacher raised her eyebrows and continued her lecture. I sank down in my chair in relief. After school, I told Inuyasha, "Thanks. I could've died in there."
He smiled yet again. It was very charming, unlike the mocking smiles Inuyasha usually gave my. He replied easily, "You're welcome."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Aw, isn't Inuyasha sweet (And by Inuyasha I mean Shuuichi). Yep.
On more thing: Sesshoumaru's coming soon. I dunno how soon, just . . . soon.
My longest chapter yet. You review, I update.
So review.
Just to let you guys know, I sign reviews as "Me" or as Minuiko, not "The Big Pen." No, Minuiko is not my real name.
