The Cure and TheBeginning of the Worst Day ofTheir Lives(Basic Insanity)
Note to those who are confused : When I write Rin/Sesshomaru that means that Rin's soul is in Sesshomaru's body and thus she must act like him for a day. The reason behind this will be revealed very very soon by none other than Artemis herself! giggles wickedly and begins to plot
Sesshomaru/Sango sat back while everyone argued. What were they all arguing about, you ask? They were, as usual, saying who had to suffer the most in their current body. Teh only one who had not taken part in their petty squabbles was Rin. She was deep in thought. Why does Artemis do this? Why does she put us in these kind of situations and expect us to pull through? Why? Why? Why? She thought intently; ignoring the others' chaos.
"You think you have it bad, I am stuck inside this helpless body of a human! A human!" InuYasha/Rin screamed loudly in Kagome/Miroku's face.
"Well, EXCUSE me, Mr. I'm all High and Mighty but at least you can use strong magick! I mean I'm inside a stupid disgusting monk's body! I mean Ewww! Groooooosss!" Kagome/ Miroku shrieked back in a shrill voice that was eons away from Miroku's regular voice.
"Hey, my body isn't that bad!" Miroku/Kagome yelled.
"Well neither is mine!" someone shouted back. Rin/Sesshomaru slapped herself on the forehead. This group was IMPOSSIBLE! She fought the urge to call all the elements against them, then found out that she couldn't. she couldn't use her magick! It was the end of the woooorld to her! She needed to get back into her body. She felt so weak and helpless in her current body, as did everyone else.
"SHUT UUUUP! If you really really need to know right now, I need to get back into my body! I think everyone else needs to too! Thus, let's just cooperate and see each others' schedules, we only have one chance to or else say hello to being a tree stump for the rest of your to be miserable lives! If you didn't notice yet, I DON'T WANT THAT!" Rin screamed in Sesshomaru's voice; she was getting worked up. She calmed herself down and spoke again. "Okay, let's eat breakfast, discuss schedules and daily stuff we need to deal with and hopefully, make it through this horrible day, okay?" she said with a vampire smile at the end for emphasis. "Oh, and anyone who doesn't obey, meet my...er- Sesshomaru's poison claws!" The group of five grudgingly got up and ate their breakfast of fish, eggs, and rice.
After the uneventful breakfast, they hurridly exchanged schedules and told each other of how to live a day in their life. Kagome told Miroku to get in fights with Kikyo, InuYasha said the same to Sango, except to get in fights with Koga. Miroku told Kagome to let herself get slapped by whoever was in Sango's body and Sango told Sesshomaru to slap whoever was in Miroku's body whenever they did something didgusting or of the sort. Sesshomaru told Rin to talk inmonotone and act bored around Kagura and Rin told InuYasha to glare at Kagura and act all shy and quiet. After about two hours of conversation, they were finally ready to go, and so they split up in their regular morning groups, InuYasha/Rin and Rin/Sesshomaru walking alone while Miroku/Kagome, Sango/InuYasha, Kagome/Miroku, and Sesshomaru/Sango walked together as they regularly did at morning. The most reluctant was Sesshomaru who thought he was too good to walk with mortals (that got him many glares that he ignored), but changed his mind after thinking about life as a tree stump for 'the rest of his to be miserable life' as Rin had said and relented and walked with the group, 'laughing and joking' as Sango would have done. He was (for the first time in his life) not speaking in monotone and showing emotions. Everyone gaped at his sudden character change and knew that he must strongly not want to live as a tree trunk. Classes went as planned and mgick was very last and ALL the students attended for a battle.
"Hey, Sesshy, dear! I'll go with you on our battle even if that stupid Rin somehow managed to defeat me! I swear she cheated!" Kagura sunnily said as she pounced on Rin/Sesshomaru happily. Rin staggered. KAGURA WAS ROCK HEAVY! (Just like Sesshomaru!) She resisted the urge to slap her in the face and say,"Get lost, loser!" because she too, did not want to live as a tree trunk. Instead, she spoke in monotone to Kagura, just like Sesshomaru would.
"No thank you, Kagura, I think the teacher will assign the partners for the practice match." she said with all her will power used in not showing emotion or slapping Kagura really, really, really hard. She totally deserves it. Rin thought as she walked "calmly" away from the wind user. Whew! All six of the soul switched people thought as Kagura walked away, half-fuming, half-pouting.
Artemis grinned wicked as she readied the battle charts. It would be seven two on two battles. This would be the most interesting practice match of an eon...since some bodies had alien souls inside of them. But, all the same, she hoped they could master each others' powers, for that was the key to true power; depending on your friends' strengthes and patching up their weaknesses. She hoped they could all make it it through. Especially Rin. Especially Rin.
The Battle
Artemis smiled happily. All was going according to her plan. The principle had let her use the rest of the school day (which was four hours) for magick battles in which all the students participated in. Obviously, she had to do a little bit of 'convincing.' But he had agreed in the end. That was all that mattered to her. Note:Artemis had threatened to cast an awful spell on him and when he still refused, well... let's just say that right now, Principle Kim is drooling in his sleep on his office desk..This is courtesy of her spell of sleep. He won't remember/care much about today's events now. She thought as she began to say the charts on which they would battle by.
Note to those who are confused: the list will say the names of the bodies they are in, not the souls. For example if Kagome is in Miroku's body, she will know it's her turn when Artemis calls out Miroku. Got it?
"First arena is the pool, the two facing off are... Kagome and Kohaku! No deaths allowed! Second arena is my classroom, those facing off are...Koga and Kagura! Third arena is the lawn the two facing off are...Kikyo and Miroku! The fourth arena is the cafeteria and the two facing off are...Rin and Naraku! Fifth arena is up in the air and the two facing off are... Kaede and InuYasha! The sixth arena will be in my room in which I'll set fire to temporarily! Yes, it is real fire so be careful, contestants Kanna and Sesshomaru!" Artemis said this totally cheerfully like as if burning her room purposely was no big deal. (Everyone fell to the ground anime style at this, Artemis of course din't notice it!) "And...the last but like, totally not least is Sango versus Hakudoshi in the Forest of no Return! Oh, I trust all of you not to kill each other, so get to your positions! Bye Bye and I'll be watching my pet demon, Silver Shivvers! Call me if you're in need of help or dead!" Artemis cheerfully said while everyone let that sink slowly in. She was leaving them out on their own! They were DOOMED! She was insane!
"This cannot be happening! This cannot be happening to ME! I mean, our teacher just abandoned us to go into some unknown terrain without supervision! AHHHHHHH! I'm stuck with a that freak that want's to kill me! Sesshomaru screamed in sango's body, just like he should have. Sango/InuYasha grinned, he screamed better than her!
"Hey! I am not a freak!" Hakudoshi retorted coldly while glaring at Sango unlovingly.
"You are a freak because you have no color whatsoever on you except white! And you do want to kill me!" Sesshomaru/Sango retorted, in the correct tone and emotion. (That was amazing since Sesshomaru had not shown any emotion or other tones in YEARS.) InuYasha/Rin gaped at his brother's acting.it was really really really good! Last time he had checked, his brother had not taken acting lessons!
They all suddenly got transported to wherever they needed to be by none other than Artemis, as usual. Ready... Steady... BEGIN!
"Welcome to The Artemis Coriania Show! I'm your host, Artemis and today, we are having fourteen people battle in different terrains! Who will win! Who will lose! Well, here are some of the opening quotes from our contestants!" Artemis cheerfully said while talking to her pet demon, Silver Shivvers. The snake shivvered in delight at her master's joy.
"I'm stuck with a demon slayer in training girl that calls me a freak!"-Hakudoshi
"Ahhhh! We're out in the Forest of No Return unsupervised! I'm stuck with a white-skinned freak! Oh, God, please save me!"-Sango (actually Sesshomaru)
"Help me anyone! I'm stuck with a disgusting monk!This is not fair, even for me!"-Kikyo
"Hi! I'm (touchy feelly gross out) havinf a lot of fun! I hope this is a (touchy feelly gross out) great battle! A priestess versus a monk!"-Miroku (actually an about to barf Kagome)
"Great...just...great."-Sesshomaru (actually Rin)
no comment at all, just a blank stare-Kanna
"Whoo-hoo! I'm gonna kick Kagura so hard, she'll regret it!"-Koga
"Why am I always not paired up with MY Sesshy?"-Kagura (who fell off the desk she was standing on after saying that)
"Ahhhhh! I'm against a little kid!"-InuYasha (actually a freaking out Sango)
"Ahhhhh! I'm againgst a half-breed!"-Kaede
"I'm... against...a puny... fifth... grader...? Impossible..."-Naraku
"Ohhhh...great, I'm against a kid in a baboon suit!"-Rin (actually InuYasha)
"Ummm...good luck?"-Kohaku
"I'm DOOMED! I have to face off against my best friends' little brother! EEEK!"-Kagome (actually a very 'happy' Miroku)
"And so... there you have it! The fourteen contestants, let the matches... BEGIN!" Artemis joyfully cheered as the fighters began to (well, duh) fight!
Note: The fights are all taking place at once, it's just that I write them one by one! Please don't get confused; no one can help each other physically and they cannot see each other! Now, back to the story.
Miroku/Kagome dove, swam, surfaced, took a breathe and repeated the process. Kohaku was a tough opponent and he did not know how in the world Kagome shot those arrows, thus, all he could do for now was defend. Well, Kohaku soon began to corner him. I'm about to die! He thought sadly. No! I won't, not today! He reminded himself he hadn't told Sango he liked her yet! Not now! NOOOO! He thought as Kagome's priestess powers kicked into action. He magickally expelled himself forward and BONK! He knocked Kohaku unconscious with a neon pink jet streak that had somehow formed upon Kagome's fingertips. It must be her priestess powers on auto-pilot. Just like Rin's magick. He dragged both of them to the pool's edge with the last of Kagome's little strength. He felt energized. The powers were also healing and refreshing him! Wow! He wondered whether or not Kagome knew this. He then stood up and wondered how the others were faring. Hopefully as well as him. Hopefully.
Sango/InuYasha had to keep jumping. Somehow though, she didn't feel tired. It probably was his demon half's doing. Good thing too, or else she would have died a minute ago. She/he (I have no idea what you say, body or soul?)and Kaede were about ten thousand feet up in the air with only air currents as their ground. So far, Kaede seemed to be in a better position than her/him. The priestess in training had managed to summon sone STABLE air currents to her aid. Now she/he was rapidly dodging huge blasts of cold air sent from Kaede. She/He was getting really really tired. Her instincts said ,'stop running away! you will atack...NOW!' Sango/InuYasha lunged forward when the currents had subsided and slashed Kaede's eye. Sango had never felt so bad in her life. Her heart felt weak and she plummeted along with Kaede onto the ground, both were stopped by air currents sent by none other than Artemis, both were out cold, and thus, neither won. Sango's last thought before unconsciousness took over was,' Is Miroku okay?'
Sesshomaru/Sango quickly dodged Hakudoshi's poison attack. The demon slayer's body wasn't too bad, it had it's ups; it was fast and agile, and always had a hidden weapon. He/She ran onto a treetop and waited for Hakudoshi to look around. Then, he would strike. (I decided to use the body's spirit as the gender!) He didn't have to wait long. Target...below! Take aim...and FIRE! Sesshomaru released Sango's sturdily gripped toes from the branch and hurled himself at Hakudoshi with a sword in each hand. What happened can only be described as astounding. Hakudoshi looked up, and got pinned by his sleeves to the ground. Then, he was just squirming way too much so Sesshomaru ended the squirming with a quick rabbit punch to the head. Out cold! He grinned. That was actually fun.
Kagome/Miroku steadied herself against Kikyo. Priestess to Priestess, though one of them was in the wrong body. She was busy trying to catch Kikyo and bonk her on the head with Miroku's solid gold staff. Sadly though, Kikyo was fast too, and she easily floated off the ground. She could only float five centimeters off of the ground though, because there was a barrier. Kikyo dodged another one of her attacks with a piroutte and steadied her bow, aiming for Miroku's head. Kagome steadied herself for the right minute, no second. Wait... wait... wait... NOW! Kagome twirled the staff between her two fingers, causing the arrow to bounce off of the fast spinning barrier Miroku's magick had created. Then, while Kikyo was still in shock, she jumped quickly and landed behind of Kikyo and gave her (with all of Miroku's strength she could muster) a great, big WHACK! upside of her head. Needless to say, she became unconscious immediately. Kagome inwardly grinned. This was actually fun. She would remember that forever. The joy of hitting Kikyo unconscious. Oh, the joy.
InuYasha/Rin scurried for cover from Naraku's hideous... tentacles. InuYasha hated this body, it was so utterly weak and helpless! He ran around, praying that sometime her powers of magick would kick in and save him. He hoped it would be soon or else he would die from the poison Naraku was emitting. Stupid weak humans. He thought. Stupid soul switching. Stupid everything. He thought as he fainted from the poison content in the air. Then, the magick went on autopilot. Kara (remember, that swan) floated down and flapped her golden wings. The poison immediately dissapitated and Naraku fainted from the LACK of poison in the. InuYasha/Rin woke up, dazed and saw all that was left was a single golden feather. Naraku was not conscious and he was feeling great. Wow, Rin's magick really IS strong! He thought as he sat down on one of the benches and waited for a teacher to come.
Rin/Sesshomaru elegantly sped away from where Kanna tried to suck her soul in. The room certainly was in flames and they were defimitely NOT fake. As smoke began to fill the room, she couldn't see anything Kanna, on the other hand, saw everything with her magickal mirror. She took aim at the demon... and pointed her mirror at where hi reflection would be... and sucked inward. Rin felt her soul being sucked out and growled in fury. How DARE she! Oh my Gosh! I'll show her! she fiercely thought as she pictured her reflection not fitting in the mirror. Then, she began to change, froman almost human-like creature to a gigantic, collossal snow white dog. She felt no pain or burning as she charged through the rafing fires and pummeled into Kanna! She 'gently' let the poison seep in, making the mirror demon unconscious. Then, she tossed her into the air and turned back into a more human form. She had won! Yipee for her! Yipee for her!
Koga dodged a wind blast from Kagura. The classroom was basically in shreds from Koga's kicking and Kagura's multiple wind blasts. She blasted at him again, he dodged. He striked her from the left, she dodged. They had managed to ruin the classroom, yet neither of them had gotten as much as a scratch on themselves. Kagura blew Koga into a twister and trapped him inside. He kicked at the twister, to no avail. Then, he looked upward, and saw the weak spot, as Kagura was about to call off the twister, he jumped into the sky and kicked her on the head hard. It was like she was prepared for that, though, because she instantly threw her fan into the air and had it strike Koga out as well. Both of them were unconscious. Artemis sighed. They were totally weaklings not worth being taught. Oh well. She had no say in who she was to teach. She waved her hand and immediately, everyone was back in her reborn classroom, all alive, well, and conscious.
"Congrats everyone! Those of you who won, especially! Thank you for participating! Oh, and for those of you who have a strange 'sickness,' do come with me!" Artemis said with a cheerful smile. She led the soul switched six into herroom, now reborn and nota trace of a burn anywhere.
"Anyway, you did really well and each of you has learned a power that the original owner of that body never knew! This was just for you to develop your magickal abilities! All that tree-stump nonsense was just a joke! (giggles at them actually beleiving it) Okay, so anyway...you can have your regular bodies back now!" Artemis happily said as she clapped her hands and everyone fell unconscious.
Next Morning:
"Yahhh! I'm me again!"
"Yipee! I love me!"
Hey, you know what? You're abilities are actually pretty good, Rin!"
"Thanks!"
"Yeah, Sango! I wish I got your -"
SLAP!
Miroku is now unconscious.
"Let's get to our regular classes."
"Yeah!"
