Story: Change of Body
Ah, yes, the joys of being grounded . . .
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Chapter Nine
Hiei's POV
I looked into the hall again and again, wondering if I should react. Some guy with long, black, wavy hair and cold, dark eyes was stalking Yukina! She didn't notice anything. She was just her usual, cheerful, gentle, sweet self. Her long, mint-green hair fell from her ponytail almost to her waist.
"Hey, Houshi-sama!"
Sango. I cursed, wondering how the two girls I cared about most could be so different. Sango was headstrong, brave, powerful, skillful, a bit hyper . . . Yukina was gentle, sweet, and caring, though a bit weak physically. I cursed again. I did not care a bit for Sango! Yes, I did. No, I didn't!
Whatever. She came up to me, very close. I started to sweat. She smiled. It was as bright as my sister's. She said, winking, "Are you gonna ask me to the dance today, Houshi-sama?"
I groaned. I forgot that Miroku was, supposedly, her boyfriend. I muttered, "I'll get to it later. If I remember."
She chirped in a voice very different from the suspicious look in her eye, "Alright! I don't think you'll forget, though."
I heard a frightened voice, shaking with panic, "W-what do you want from me?"
I turned back to Yukina, forgetting Sango. The teen (I think his name was Narako or something. At least, it starts with "N") was grabbing her wrists. I yelled and punched Naraku in the gut. He doubled over, a malicious grin still on his face.
He disappeared down the hall, and a light, very slightly nasal voice said, "I hope you know that I can't let you go unpunished, Miroku. What he did was wrong, but you should have let me handle it."
I turned around. It was Koenma, the head of the school, junior advisor to the principal. He was also a teenager, but his leadership skills (leadership, not intelligence ^_-) surpassed even Shuuichi's. I looked at the blue pacifier in his mouth (yes, I was very pissed) and snarled, "Shouldn't you have outgrown that silly pacifier by now?"
He sighed. "I have my own reasons for wearing this 'silly pacifier' that you needn't bother with. Now, you have lunch detention with Yusuke Urameshi and Shuuichi Minamino on room 6B at lunch. Have a good day."
I stared. Shuuichi? Then I remembered who was in Shuuichi's body. Yes. Our fearless leader, Inuyasha. I made a face and made to go when I remembered Sango. I turned to her. She looked back, her mouth quavering. I gulped. "Sango . . .!"
She turned away. "I should've known why you've been acting so weird lately. You like Yukina, is that it? Well fine. I can do without you. Bye, Miroku."
Ouch. I've gotten so used to her saying "Houshi-sama" that it really stung when she called me "Miroku." Yukina said to me, "Thank you . . . Miroku. That was very kind of you. I am very sorry about Sango. I hope that you two will make up soon."
She left me all alone in the hall. I groaned. How was I going to get out of this one?
*~*~*~*~ Nutrition ~*~*~*~*
Kikyo's POV
Naraku told me the incident. I cackled with glee. "You are good, Naraku!"
He gave a grin. "Now. About my date with Kagura . . ."
A muscle twitched in my jaw. "Um, Kagura's kind of . . . with Kouga right now . . ."
He frowned. "Ah. I see. Well, break them up, then hook me up with her, alright?"
I sighed and agreed. These hormone-driven boys and their crazy ideas . . .
*~*~*~*~ Lunch ~*~*~*~*
Miroku's POV
I looked at a cheerful Yukina, lost in my own little world of girls in swimsuits, Playboy magazines, and others I could name . . . I looked at her, hormone-crazy. Of course, I wanted Botan, Keiko, Shizuru, Kagome, Kagura, Sango, Ayame, and others, too, but Yukina was my current goal.
"Yukina, will you go to the dance with me?"
I saw my body, or Hiei, suddenly stiffen. He looked like he was going to pee. I grinned. Yukina smiled back sweetly, saying in a musical voice, "That's very kind of you, brother, but I'm going with Kazuma. Why don't you ask Sango? I mean, you have liked her for ages . . ."
She trailed off. I saw Hiei's back, if possible, stiffen even more. Me, I was just relieved that she didn't take me seriously. I mean, even the part about Sango had no meaning to me. I had completely forgotten Hiei's relationship to Yukina. Again. Before nutrition was over, he shouldered me. I understood.
*~*~*~*~ After School ~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha's POV
I was sitting on the roof of the apartment. Still grounded. I mean, Shuuichi's mom is MEAN. She was currently rambling about how good "I" was to her before, and how everything was wasted. Stupid, right? (A/N Dumb Inu . . .)
I tossed again. I was reminded about how kind Kagome was to me, and how I took it for granted. I sighed, saying, "I don't wanna admit it, but I'm actually kind of . . . missing . . . that cheerful little pipsqueak."
I growled again. No matter how much I missed Kagome as a friend, she wasn't ever coming back. EVER. My only friend . . . The only one who really understood me. I went in and took a nap to cure me of my madness, still shaking feverishly.
*~*~*~*~ Evening ~*~*~*~*
Shuuichi's POV
I was walking with Kagome to the orphanage. There, I saw an injured fox. Kagome gasped. "We need to help it!"
Duh. I rolled my eyes. We, after a while, managed to pick it up. It was really heavy, or at least heavier than it seemed. I paused for a while to admire it. It had beautiful, fluffy white-silver fur. When it opened its eyes for a few seconds before collapsing again, I noticed its sharp, piercing golden eyes. I shivered. That was not normal.
After healing it a bit, I took the fox to Kaede. She gave me bandages, and I cast them on the fox. After it ceased whimpering, I sat down. Kaede said, "I have news, Inuyasha."
I looked up, beginning to feel tired. She continued worriedly, "Your brother, Sesshoumaru, is coming a few days earlier than planned. He said he wanted to get it over with fast."
I blinked. Get what over with? I shook my head. "That's okay."
Kaede stared at me strangely. "Are ye not mad? Ye hates Lord Sesshoumaru."
Lord? Ah, whatever. I shook my head. "I can't think right now."
Kagome was staring at me too. I looked at her, blushed, then looked away. I cursed myself for the male hormones that were surging right now. Inuyasha's body was very unpredictable, especially at night.
I said tiredly to Kagome, "You've done a lot. Thanks, Kagome. I think you should go now."
She smiled. "Alright, Inuyasha."
She left. I sighed, unconsciously stroking the fox's fur. Without realizing it, I slipped into sleep.
*~*~*~*~ Next Day ~*~*~*~*
Shuuichi's POV
I woke up groggily. I looked down at the sleeping fox. Its – his? injuries looked better; it had stopped bleeding. I said softly to myself, "Who could've done it?"
As Kaede came in, I got up. The fox stood up swiftly and sniffed the air. When he saw me, he started to make a noise – was it purring? Kaede chuckled. "He's grown a liking to ye. Foxes have keen senses; they can tell who does them good or bad."
Before I could speak, she smiled and said, "Yes, ye can keep him."
I grinned, and led him outside. He was still slightly limping, but okay. His silver fur was less enchanting in the daylight, but still beautiful. He followed me willingly. I smiled. "I think I'll call you Yoko."
Yoko purred again.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I think that's a good place to stop . . .
Don't forget to press the little "Go" button. Yes, I'll need . . . 75 reviews (In other words, 7) to update. But don't count on it: I'm STILL grounded.
Ja!
Ah, yes, the joys of being grounded . . .
