Story: Change of Body

How's the story so far . . .?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Chapter Six

Shuuichi's POV

I looked around the clubhouse. It was relatively neat, for the meeting place of a gang. Sure, a whole bunch of stuff were strewn across the room, but still, it was relatively neat.

Then a familiar looking member came by . . . I said in surprise, "Yusuke!"

He snorted at me, scoffing, "Oh, so the great leader of our gang suddenly knows my name?"

I gulped. Inuyasha was clearly unpopular. Hiei, no, Miroku, came and whispered to me, "Watch your step."

I muttered, "Watch yours, pervert."

*~*~*~*~ A few minutes later ~*~*~*~*

Shuuichi's POV

Yaah! We were planning on how to make some fireworks at the dance. Yusuke suggested in a bored voice, "How 'bout we turn off the light switches and make a few girls scream?"

Miroku shook his head. He then said eagerly, "You know how they make the artificial mist? There's a small vent on the ground. There's a really strong wind there. I suggest that we turn on the air vent during the dance while a girl is on top . . ."

The guys cheered. Yusuke looked baffled and frowned. "Since when did you like to see a girl's underwear, Hiei?"

Miroku gave a horny smile. I clamped his mouth shut and lied, "I came up with the idea, you buffoons."

He gave a nod of understanding and we concluded our meeting. I breathed a sigh of relief, reminding Miroku, "Caution."

*~*~*~*~ Next Day, PE Field, Lunch ~*~*~*~*

Miroku's POV

Whoa. There's a track team race today, the second one this week. I haven't been running at all, in fact, I didn't even know how. (Not how to run, how to beat people) Hiei stalked towards me, saying monotonously, "Well? They're expecting you." He motioned to some very admiring girls.

I groaned. "I don't even get A's in my runs, how am I going to win against Kouga?"

He smirked. Which looked very wrong on my body, I might add. I asked, "How many times do you smirk a week?"

He smirked again, "Fifty seven, counting this last one. And it's only been four days."

He dragged me to the track, snarling, "It's my body, my leg muscles, that you have. Use them."

I ran as fast as I, no, his body, could. Who-o-o-oa! I was like . . . a tornado. It was natural. Normally, in my body, I could only run, like, five miles per hour? Hiei: faster than a cheetah. I sat on the ground, dazed. He poked my in the ribs. "Faster! That was only about sixty miles per hour. Kouga is seventy! We need to get you to eighty, like the last race, or faster!"

I stared at him. "You actually calculate your speed?"

He grinned. "No, Shuuichi does it."

I groaned. "But I just gave it my all!"

His face contorted slightly, half with disgust and half with amusement. "Your all is not enough. I give it one hundred and fifty percent."

He poked me again. I yelped and started running, not too fast to see the girls clearly. Inuyasha was at Hiei's side, giving a sincere smirk. He looked at his watch. I nodded with understanding. He was Shuuichi.

I finally ran to Hiei's satisfaction. He gave a grim smile. "Finally."

*~*~*~*~ Hiei's POV ~*~*~*~*

Good riddance! The buffoon, Miroku, actually lost in my perfect body! I said so to Shuuichi, who smiled, telling me, "Full of ourselves, aren't we?"

I rolled my eyes, saying, "I know that I'm perfect from trial-and- error."

He smiled, amused. I looked at the flyers already posted on the walls. "Hiei's First Loss! 'It must be bad losing to your long-time rival . . .'" There was a picture of a very smug Kouga stepping on my head, obviously computer generated.

I gritted my teeth. "Whoever printed this is gonna . . ."

I looked at the fancy signature at the bottom and growled, "It's the pacifier-wearing president-of-the-month!"

I looked at the loopy writing again. I jerked my head to "Inuyasha" (Shuuichi) and muttered, "You familiar to Koenma?"

He smiled again. "Yes."

I nodded at the posters, telling him, "It was a rhetorical question. Everyone knows the baby who landed himself in a teenage body."

Shuuichi admonished me, "It's not nice to call your superiors that," He grinned as I made a growling noise in my throat. He continued, "So what if he's a bit . . . different?"

I gave out a bark of laughter. He smirked. "I love being the only one who can make you laugh."

I pointed out, "You're the only one I hang out with."

He grinned. "You could hang out with Yusuke."

I grinned back, reminding him, "I would if he didn't hang out with that big buffoon, Kuwabara."

He smiled, teasing me, "You just don't like him because of the attention he's paying Yukina!"

I turned red. "Shut up, pretty boy."

The bell rang. We slid into class.

*~*~*~*~ After School ~*~*~*~*

Kagome's POV

I looked over at Inuyasha again, wondering if he was sick or anything: he's been in school, actually paying attention, all day! He took a book from his locker. I asked him nervously, "Inuyasha? Are you actually going to READ the book?"

He looked at me, a bit surprised. Then he gave me a strange look, half amused, half understanding. My heart pounded. This was the first time he ever made me feel like that. He answered with a smile that would've melted anyone's heart, "Of course I'm going to read it!"

I gulped again. I didn't even know that he could read! I asked him, "So. So you want to go to the arcade after school?"

I DO NOT KNOW WHY THE HELL I ASKED HIM THAT!!! All he ever did in the arcade was pick on little children and make trouble. But now, he grinned and shrug. "Alright."

We went to the arcade. I was still confused. He played every game with skill and grace, wasting very little of my money, too. He got to the last level in everything, eventually ending by saying breathlessly, "I think that's enough, don't you?"

My eyes were still wide with shock. I took a sip of my drink to calm my nerves, then nodded. "You want to study together at my house?"

He thought for a moment before agreeing. "Okay."

I called out, "Mom! Souta! I'm home!"

He smiled, saying, "That's your - oh I mean, of course that's your mom." He turned away, blushing violently. I stared at him harder. Since when did Inuyasha blush? And he met my mom before, so . . .

Mom said, "Kagome, you're home!" Stating the obvious . . .!

She then looked over to where Inuyasha was trying to hide his red face, but not succeeding. She smiled and said in a strained voice, "Inu - yasha! Good - to see you - again."

She coughed. I laughed, knowing why: Inuyasha was a bit rude the last time he met my mother. Inuyasha looked at my mother, and . . . he greeted her. "Good to see you too, Mrs. Higurashi."

Now everyone was staring at him He continued, "I'm here to study with Kagome. Do you mind?"

Mom fainted. Souta gave an ear-splitting grin, saying happily, "She doesn't mind!"

Wow. Inuyasha must have really surprised her with his recent manners. I whispered, "Upstairs." He nodded. I smiled, sighing eith relief. /Boy, I'm glad I didn't faint at first sight of Inuyasha/

He showed me five papers with perfect script. "I already finished mine at school. How about you?"

I fainted.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I'm not planning to tell the girls the truth yet! But the next chapter, or the next (I'm not sure which) is Friday: Hiei's date with Sango! This should be good . . .

So. Review!
