Title: Kiyori
Author name: Inuyashas Guilty Pleasure
Summary: Inuyasha and Kagome fall under a curse, and switch bodies. The concept isn't so original...but, maybe the story might be. Rated R for safety. Will have an Epilogue at the end, rated higher...but, a long while from now.
This is my first fic, ever. I don't claim it's beautiful...but, it will work, for now. Hope you like it.
PS Updates will be slow coming, but I will try to, at least make them long, and worth reading.
Chapter 1
"How can you go back at a time like this!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Inuyasha, I need-"
"You don't need anything!" He huffed. "You still have plenty of medicine, food, and don't even try to use the test excuse. You always complain about how badly you do on them, anyway."
"Inuyasha, please, I need-"
"NO"
Kagome crossed her arms and sighed in exasperation. "Inuyasha, SIIIIIIT! Sit! Sit! Sit!"
"Look at these two! Honestly! How can the rumours be true? They're embarassing! I, almost, feel bad for Kagome. But, my heart belongs to Inuyasha, and I will have him!" She reached out, and stroked the fur of a small black cat, that wore a black leather collar, studded with white diamonds.
A small campfire glowed between 3 people. Inuyasha leaned back against the trunk of a tree, eyes closed, ears twitching occasionally. Kagome and Shippo sat across the fire pit from Inuyasha, engaged in a tense, but simple card game called War. Occasionally, Shippo would make a victorious laugh and Inuyasha groaned, in annoyance.
A slight rustle in the bushes next to Shippo startled Inuyasha's sensitive hearing. He flattened his ears back and leapt across the fire, knocking Kagome and Shippo to the side. Kagome huffed, having missed the slight noise even happening.
"Inuyasha, what the-?"
"Hey!" Shippo complained.
Inuyasha quickly pushed the bushes aside, revealing a scrawny black cat, with large yellow eyes. His paw was outstretched over a spot where a tiny creature had just made his escape from. Inuyasha glared at it. "You're lucky. You could have become cat soup." The cat sat down and stared up at him.
"Mmrow."
"Inuyasha, what's going on?" Kagome tried to see around him. Inuyasha lifted the cat by the nape of the neck, and held him out, as if it were diseased. He turned and held itk in front of Kagome's nose.
She squealed and snatched the cat from him, holding it tightly to her chest. "Too cute!" She held the cat up and studied him. "What are you doing out here, little guy?" She sat him down, and scratched under his jaw. He purred and rubbed against her hand, and soon, Shippo, too, was infatuated with the cat.
"Feh!" Inuyasha blurted, and returned to his previous attempts at relaxation. Kagome fingered the black, diamons studded collar around the cat's neck.
"So, you belong to someone," she whispered.
Kagome woke up, expecting to find a cat and Shippo next to her. Instead, as she looked around the campsite, she only found Shippo. The cat, she had expected to be gone, but, Inuyasha was, too. Kagome frowned. Inuyasha must have done something to the cat. She climbed out of her sleeping bag, and to her backpack. It had been opened, but she, too, dismissed this as Inuyasha's fault.
She plucked out her compact mirror to see how bad the damage of sleeping was to her hair. "Inuyasha, you idiot," she said, to herself as she straightened a few stray hairs with her fingers. "Feh!" She said, mocking Inuyasha, in her mirror. She smiled and put the mirror away, and waited til Inuyasha returned. She didn't have to wait long. Not 5 minutes later, Inuyasha was strolling toward her.
Kagome stood up, ready to release the wrath upon him. "Inuyasha, where have you been? And what did you do with that poor cat?""She set her hands to her hips.
"I didn't do anything with your pet! It was gone before I got up. And, I went out to catch us some breakfast….I didn't realize that was against the rules." He smirked.
She held up a plastic hairbrush, curiously. "What have we here?" She smiled, and plucked 3 black hairs, and 3 silver-white hairs out of it. "Good work, Hiro," she said to the cat. She twisted the hairs together, then carefully placed them in a small bowl of boiling, clear liquid. "Now, let it simmer for the daytime, place it in this strange flask of water, " she said, holding up a small bottled water, also stolen from Kagome's backpack. "Then, you shall return what you've stolen, you naughty little kitty." She smiled, and scratched the cat's nose.
"Mmrow."
The campfire burned brighter that evening than the last. It had been a calm day. Kagome and Inuyasha sat side by side, this time. She leaned her head against his shoulder, a common move, lately. Kagome, often, even fell asleep this way. Inuyasha wrapped an arm around her shoulders. Kagome reached for her bottled water and took a drink, as did Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha?"
"Ya?"
"Do you still…have that pendant I gave you? You know… the one, just before the Kaguya thing?"
"Why would I care about a stupid thing like that?"
Kagome smiled. He still had it. "No reason. I just thought….If you did, maybe we should take new pictures. Those ones are a year old, now, after all, you know."
Inuyasha just sighed. Kagome yawned, and soon they were both sound asleep. Shippo was nowhere to be found.
