A/N: I am so sorry that it took me this long to update! Like I said before, I moved from Surprise, Arizona to Manhattan, Kansas. Took 19 hours, not to mention all of the packing and unpacking. My mom still has to enroll me in school. Crud. And this chapter is going to be awesome. I am back in my anime habits. YAY!

Disclaimer: Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear, fuzzy wuzzy had no hair, fuzzy wuzzy wasn't fuzzy was he? Oh and I don't own Inuyasha.

Recently:

"Inuyasha! Are you okay!" Kagome ran up to Inuyasha and held him.

'What does this girl think she's doing?' Sesshoumaru thought to himself before he pushed Kagome off of him.

"Inuyasha...what's wrong?" Kagome asked in pure concern. Sesshoumaru's eyes glazed over.

"Inuyasha? How dare you compare me to that pathetic half-breed!" Sesshoumaru took his stand and looked down at the now frightened miko. Kagome scooted her way across the ground over to Sango. Inuyasha found the strength to stand and he looked down at his hands.

"I only have control over one of my arms. What did that damn light do to me?" Inuyasha said before he realized that he only had one arm. Inuyasha fell backwards and looked up to see a mirror image of him glaring a hole through Kagome. Sesshoumaru broke his gaze with Kagome and glanced over at his half brother. Sesshoumaru was shocked to see that Inuyasha looked exactly like him, and was at Inuyasha's throat in a second.

"What did you do half-breed?" Sesshoumaru had Inuyasha by the neck.

"I was about to ask you the same thing Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha bit back. Sesshoumaru lifted Inuyasha into the air and dug his nails into Inuyasha's neck.

'Why aren't my poison claws working?' Sesshoumaru asked himself.

"Heh. Don't think you're going to get away with it that easily Sesshoumaru." Inuyasha freed himself from Sesshoumaru's deadly grasp and wiped the blood from his neck. It was then that Sesshoumaru realized he was dressed in Inuyasha's haori and pants.

Chapter 3: Memories and Training

As morning flooded into Kaede's village, Inuyasha woke up to discover that switching bodies with Sesshoumaru wasn't just a bad dream.

"Keh. This body is hopeless." Inuyasha said as he placed his hand over his limp, armless, shoulder. "And this armor is heavy." Inuyasha whined as he took it off.

Kagome moved in her sleep, not knowing that Inuyasha slept right beside her. Inuyasha turned his attention to the beautiful miko that was lying on the ground asleep. 'She looks so peaceful.'

Kaede walked into the hut and held a cloth out to Inuyasha. "Here ye go Inuyasha. This cloth is the same as ye last one. I had it made to fit ye." Kaede smiled.

"Tch. Thanks." Inuyasha snatched the haori and pants away from the old priestess and walked into the hut next to them.

Kaede shook her head and walked away to help heal a villager that had been injured. Kagome opened her eyes slightly and sat up. It wasn't like her to sleep in like this. Kagome turned to look at Sango, Shippou, and Kirara. They weren't there.

"They must have gone outside." Kagome herself wearily as she stood up and packed all of her things. Kagome walked outside to see Miroku, Sango, Shippou, and Kirara all lying on the ground laughing.

"What's going on?" Kagome asked the group without even realizing the angry Inuyasha standing by a tree. Miroku found it in himself to recover from laughing and answer the young miko's question.

"Have you seen Inuyasha today?" Miroku whispered to Kagome, who only shook her head then looked in the direction that Miroku was pointing.

There, by the tree, was Inuyasha himself in his big gaudy red outfit. Kagome smiled and had trouble restraining her laughter. It wasn't that Inuyasha was wearing his ordinary clothes, it was just that he was in SESSHOUMARU's body dressed like that. Who couldn't resist laughing?

Inuyasha looked over at the now laughing Kagome, and growled. "What's so funny! Ya got somethin' to say? Say it to MY face!" Inuyasha shook his fist at the gang. Kagome stopped laughing and looked at Inuyasha.

'He looks scary when he's mad, since he is in Sesshoumaru's body...' Kagome could fill the full effects of resentment towards Inuyasha's half-brother resurfacing. 'So scary..'

Inuyasha stopped yelling as he noticed Kagome's gaze on him. 'What is she thinking?' Inuyasha thought as he put his hand back down by his side and stood up straight. Kagome stood still staring at Inuyasha with a look of hatred in her eyes.

"But it's not Sesshoumaru. It's Inuyasha!" Kagome sternly told herself. Inuyasha lowered his eyes to the ground before walking off into the forest.

"Maybe I should test my new abilities. So I can handle this youkai body." Inuyasha said to himself. Kagome turned her gaze away from Inuyasha to her friends standing behind her.

"What just happened?" Sango whispered to the houshi standing next to her.

"I don't exactly know." Miroku answered as he stared back at Kagome. Shippou, on the other hand, didn't know what was going on, and he really didn't care. If Inuyasha wasn't there for breakfast, then Shippou had more food.

Kagome sighed and headed towards her yellow backpack. 'What's wrong with us? We were just fine yesterday. I'm so confused...' Kagome thought as she took some Ramen out of her backpack.

"Sango?" Kagome smiled and looked at the taijiya.

"What is it Kagome?" Sango asked as she looked over at Kagome.

"Would you like to come and get some water with me?" Kagome held up a pot.

"Uh...sure." Sango said before walking alongside Kagome down to the river. Miroku blinked twice then looked down at Shippou.

"I guess that means Kagome wants to talk to Sango." Miroku plopped down on a rock before he noticed a beautiful young woman entering the village.

...Kagome and Sango...

"Sango, do you have any clue what's going on?" Kagome knelt down beside the river and placed her pot in the water.

"Huh? What do you mean Kagome?" Sango sat down beside her best friend.

"It's just that ever since the other day, things have been a little weird between me and Inuyasha." Kagome looked into the water in despair.

"Kagome...I don't know what to tell you. It could be the effects of Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru switching bodies. But if that's it, then Sesshoumaru would be feeling it, too. And that means that he would feel the same way towards you as Inuyasha did. And Inuyasha would feel the bitter hatred of humans." Sango tried her best to explain. Kagome nodded to let Sango know she understood.

'What if Sango's right? Does that mean Inuyasha is feeling hatred towards me, as I am towards him. NO! What am I saying? I don't hate Inuyasha.' Kagome was in deep thought and Sango noticed.

"Kagome, I think we should head back now." Sango said as she placed her hand on Kagome's shoulder. The miko nodded and stood up.

"Right." Kagome and Sango headed back towards Kaede's village.

...Miroku...

"My lovely lady, may I ask your name?" Miroku was in front of the woman in a heartbeat, holding her hands in his.

"Oh...uh...Takiya." The young lady giggled.

"And are you new to this village?" Miroku smiled.

"Yes. I just came today as a matter of fact." Takiya answered. She was indeed beautiful. Takiya had lavender eyes with long silver hair. She also wore a white kimono with cherry blossoms as a design. The kimono had a light purple trim to set off the color of her eyes. And on her side, she wore a sword. Miroku was to dazed to realize that this woman was no ordinary human.

"My dear Takiya, I have only one more question for you." Miroku rubbed the woman's hands on his cheek.

"And what's that?" Takiya asked in a disgusted voice.

"Will you bear my children?" The houshi smiled and looked into the young woman's eyes.

"HENTAI!" Sango bonked Miroku over the head with her fist. Takiya backed away from the scene and ran away.

"That was too close. That miko knows who I am." Takiya waved her hand from her head to her feet and disguised herself as a human.

Kagome stared off into the direction that the young woman had ran into. 'Was she a human?...'Kagome was broken from her train of thought by the whimpering Miroku.

"No need to be jealous my dear Sango. My heart belongs to you only." Miroku grabbed Sango's hand.

"Who ever said I was jealous?" Sango snatched her hand away from Miroku and sat down by the fire. Kagome remembered that she was cooking breakfast and ran to put the pot over the fire to boil the water.

...Inuyasha...

Inuyasha stood on a hill and closed his eyes to concentrate. "Imagine it happening and it will happen." Inuyasha chanted over and over again. The energy whip slowly appeared from Inuyasha's index and middle fingers.

Suddenly, Inuyasha collapsed on the ground and his mind went blank.

...Flashback...

Sesshoumaru ran through his father's castle playfully in search of his mother. "Mother? Where are you?" Sesshoumaru called out to his mother. He couldn't have been more than twelve years old at the time. At least, in human years.

Sesshoumaru ran into a bedroom to discover his mother staring out the window in depression.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Sesshoumaru asked as he tugged on the bottom of his mother's kimono. His mother was beautiful, she had silver hair just like Sesshoumaru, with big beautiful amber eyes. She looked almost exactly like Sesshoumaru, expect for she had a feminine touch and her voice was sweet.

Sesshoumaru's mother looked down at her son and gave him a weak smile.

"Do not worry about me my dear boy. I'm fine." His mother placed her hand on Sesshoumaru's head.

"Where's father?" Sesshoumaru asked in confusion. It wasn't like his father to be gone for two years straight.

"Sesshoumaru?" His mother looked down into his amber eyes, which shone in the morning sun.

"Yes mother?" Sesshoumaru asked, his arms wrapped around her leg.

"Will you be strong for me?" Sesshoumaru's mother knelt down next to her son.

"Of course. Always." Sesshoumaru answered his mother in a strong voice. His mother placed her hand under his chin.

"Sesshoumaru, you won't see your father again. I'm so sorry." His mother wrapped her arms around the boy as his eyes filled with tears.

"What do you mean mother? Why won't I see father again?" Sesshoumaru asked as he pushed away from his mother.

"He's gone son. He left for a mortal. Taoshi claims that she has boar him another son. A half demon." Sesshoumaru could hear hatred surfacing in his mother's voice. Something that he had never heard in his life.

"A half demon?" Sesshoumaru ran out of his mother's room, not knowing that that was the last time that he would see her alive.

...End Flashback...

Inuyasha grabbed his head in pain and grunted.

"What the hell was that?" Inuyasha asked himself as he struggled to regain consciousness. Inuyasha forced himself to stand up. "W-was that one of Sesshoumaru's memories?" Inuyasha could feel the pain of loss enter his heart. 'Is that why Sesshoumaru hates me?' Inuyasha looked into the open fields. It was a beautiful day, but for some reason, Inuyasha felt gloomy.

...Kagome...

"Breakfast is ready." Kagome shouted cheerfully. Everyone gathered around and sat down. Kagome held a bowl out to each of her friends and took some Ramen for herself.

'I wonder where Inuyasha could be?' Kagome thought to herself before she noticed a red figure standing almost directly in front of her. Kagome fell back in shock.

"I hope you saved some Ramen for me!" Inuyasha said angrily as he helped Kagome sit back up.

"Uh...of course..." Kagome said as she pointed to a bowl sitting next to Shippou.

"You little runt! You better hope that you weren't planning on eating MY FOOD!" Inuyasha yelled at the kitsune. Shippou shook his hands in front of his face.

"No no of course not!" Shippou laughed nervously. He was indeed planning on eating Inuyasha's Ramen. Inuyasha dropped onto the rock and started slurping down the food like he hadn't eaten in a week. His bad manners were back, and it was strange to see them suited on Sesshoumaru.

Kagome still thought it was odd that Sesshoumaru's voice was still in his body. So anything that Inuyasha said, sounded exactly like Sesshoumaru.

Kagome sighed and thought about what Sango had said. 'If it's true, I wonder what Sesshoumaru's thinking right now...'

...Sesshoumaru...

Sesshoumaru had gone to the tailor in his castle and ordered that they make him a new haori and pants just like his old ones. And being the cowards that his servants were, the order wasn't taken lightly.

Sesshoumaru wondered through the castle and attempted to move his left arm. It felt weird having two arms again, since it's been two years since he did have two arms.

'That girl. I feel the need to see her and be with her. Nonsense. Such desires cannot ovetake this Sesshoumaru.' Sesshoumaru walked back down to his tailors. It had been one night and he wanted to get out of Inuyasha's pathetic clothes.

"Are my clothes ready?" Sesshoumaru asked the head tailor.

"Yes Sesshoumaru-sama. They are here." The head tailor pointed to the table with Sesshoumaru's clothes lying on it. Sesshoumaru approached the table and picked up his haori and pants.

Sesshoumaru walked out of the room and headed towards his own. The head tailor, being dumb witted, yelled out to his Lord.

"Will you say that you are pleased my Lord?"

Sesshoumaru abruptly turned and looked at his servant. But said not a word. For some reason, Sesshoumaru didn't have it in him to kill for no reason. 'This body seems to be controlling me. How is this? I must find Inuyasha.' Sesshoumaru changed into his haori and pants, then started walking towards Kaede's village.

"Sesshoumaru-sama! Where are you going?" Rin called out from the castle door. Sesshoumaru turned around and looked at the human girl.

"Rin, stay here with Jaken." Sesshoumaru replied.

"Ai, milord!" Rin waved off to Sesshoumaru.

...Inuyasha and the gang...

After breakfast, Kagome packed up everything she used to cook with into her yellow backpack. Inuyasha thought if he should tell Kagome about the flashback he had into Sesshoumaru's past. But he decided that he wouldn't make matters worse by confusing Kagome and making her even more drawn away from him.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha placed his one hand on Kagome's shoulder. Kagome jumped from being startled and backed away from Inuyasha. "Kagome? What's wrong with you?" Inuyasha asked as he stared into Kagome's eyes.

"Nothing. It's just...it's just that it's weird seeing you in Sesshoumaru's body. I'm not comfortable with it yet." Kagome said honestly. Inuyasha turned away from Kagome.

"I'm sorry." Inuyasha whispered, but it was loud enough for Kagome to understand what he said.

"For what Inuyasha? You didn't do anything." Kagome walked in front of Inuyasha and stared up at him. She wasn't used to him being so tall. Kagome normally came up to Inuyasha's chest. But now, she came up to his waist.

"What if I never get my body back, Kagome? Will you always be uncomfortable around me?" Inuyasha looked down at Kagome.

"Inuyasha, don't say that. You will get your body back. I'm sure of it." Kagome smiled.

"You didn't answer my question." Inuyasha said sternly and controlling. Kagome backed away from the youkai, which stood in front of her.

"Inuyasha, I don't know!" Kagome backed away from Inuyasha as her walk slowly turned into a run. 'He's acting just like Sesshoumaru now.'

Inuyasha decided to leave Kagome alone for a few hours as he decided to go and practice his new abilities once more.

...Sesshoumaru...

Sesshoumaru walked through a field near Kaede's village. He was almost there. A few times he ran to speed up his pace. But he decided that getting to the village quickly wasn't the best idea. The miko would attract him and he needed a way to keep himself from being pulled to her.

Sesshoumaru stared clear ahead and placed his hand on Tetsusaiga. He finally got the sword of the great dog demon, his father.

Sesshoumaru felt a stinging sensation enter his head. It was hard to keep himself on two feet but he managed although he lost consciousness.

...Flashback...

Inuyasha ran through the forest away from a herd of demons that were chasing him. He had nothing to protect him, and his mother had just died. Inuyasha was getting tired of running since he had been trying to escape from the demons for almost a whole day now.

"What am I going to do? If I stop I'll be killed." Inuyasha told himself as he ran onto a cliff, with no way to go but down. Inuyasha looked all around him but found nothing to defend himself, and the demons were closing in fast. From the other side of the cliff, humans were throwing rocks at him.

"Go on half demon! You aren't welcome here anyways!" One of the children yelled.

"Yeah! You would be better off eaten by one of those things!" Another one yelled. Inuyasha's eyes watered up as he became angry. He wanted nothing more but to kill those kids and the demons that were after him. Inuyasha averted his eyes down to the bottom of the cliff. He had no other choice but to jump, or else he would have been killed.

Inuyasha jumped off of the steep cliff and landed into the river below. He looked up at the edge of the cliff to discover the children that were tormenting him, had been eaten by the demons. The sight brought a slight satisfaction to Inuyasha, but mostly disgust. Inuyasha climbed out of the river, soaking wet and found a cave to sleep in for he had nowhere else to go. His mother had died, and his father was also dead. Inuyasha was left alone to fend for himself as a young child.

...End Flashback...

Sesshoumaru shook away the memory and opened his eyes.

'What was that? Did I just experience one of Inuyasha's memories?' Sesshoumaru looked on towards Kaede's village.

"Maybe this is more serious than I thought it would be." Sesshoumaru said to himself.

Continued in Chapter 4

A/N: Once again I am sorry it took me so long to update. If this chapter is rusty, sorry. I've been dealing with all advanced classes and I haven't had time to even think about completing this chapter. I worked out in a gym, and it hurts my arms to type. I'm sore and it's funny. If Sesshoumaru isn't in character, sorry about that too. I'm working on it people. I hope you liked the flashbacks, because I thought they were cool. I will have at least one in every chapter, or at least I'll try to.

REVIEW TIME!

Karen12- Thanks for the compliment! Although I have to admit I got confused a little, so I had to erase the part and write it over. Hehe. I try! I had an excellent time moving, too! Thank you!

Thanks also to Inuyasha's Girl and Kikyou hater and kowzkowzkowzkowzect.
