Kogomaru

Chapter 3: The Bad News

"Where are the jewel shards?" The centipede screeched.

Kogomaru leapt into the air, whip in hands. 'hmm it's nice to have the use of both arms again.' he thought to himself so Kagome wouldn't hear.

He began to tear into the centipede but it hardly noticed. The centipede looked at Kagomaru, "Where are the jewl shards! I need them! I'm going to die. Can I please have them?" He asked his last question with a retarded look on his face. Kagome looked at his face deeply he was actually cute, tight jaw bone, he reminded her of an actor. (A/N: Your choice of witch actor..My choice is James Laferty from OTH! AWW sexyness..any ways) "He's hot." Kagome said. Sesshoumaru once again took control of the body and had a very confused look on his face.
"Kagome?" He finally asked
"Yes?"
"HE IS A DEMON!!! HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A HUMAN BODY!!!" she scenced a hint of jelousy.
" Yeah, I know." Kagome replied she now had a sort of embarrassed look on her face.
" Hey, I could be with a human if I wanted to." The centipede was kinda shocked by this conversation, but decided to be apart of it anyway.
"But, your not gonna be with her!" Inu Yasha yelled charging at the centipede wanting to be the one who got the attention other the Sesshoumaru. The centipede turned fast to face InuYasha knocking Kagomaru through one of the huts into a wall and through the other wall of the hut, finally coming to a stop at the last wall.
"Ok, I don't like the whole human thing! IT HURTS!" Sesshoumaru yelled grabbing Kagomaru's head. The other thing he didn't like so much is that he coldn't control his anger very well.
" Oh, if you get out of my body and still follow InuYasha this will be mild! This feels like a normal headache actually. If you count everything, I have been this close to dying, 45 times!" Kagome said, spacing her fingers less than an inch apart.
"O." Sesshoumaru said in an, 'I-care-why?' tone of voice. He turned his head to the side, looking at the staff of heads that miroku had dropped when he was thrown into the well.
" I think, I have an idea!" Kagome squealed. Grabbing the staff, she began to run to the centipede that was easily dodging all of Inu Yasha's blows. (Inu Yasha was convinced he didn't need his sword.) Kagome jumped as high as she could, jumping on top of the centipede and jammed the staff into the bottom of the human form. The mouth of the man opened having a ton of ashes pushed up into the air. The Centipede demon screamed in pain as he disappeared becoming the ashes that were now completely covering Kagomaru.
Kagomaru had completely disappeared under the ash of the now, dead centipede with the jewel on top glowing a bright pink. InuYasha ran over to the gray powder and began to dig, "Kagome? Kagome?! Where are you?! Are you OK?!" At the very end of the sentence an old man carrying a staff with feet on it, instead of heads, appeared behind Inu Yasha, "She is okay and will be easy to find as long as she still has the staff in her hand." He said with a smile in his face as though he had just found gold.
"And if she isn't?" Rin asked clinging onto Inu Yasha's kimono.
"She'll be swept away to the demon underworld with the demon's ashes." The old man shrugged "And, I'll have the staff of heads!"
The man brought the staff down to the ground and the feet began to pat a rhythm. The ashes were swept away into a black whole that the feet had created, Kagomaru was safely hovering above the black whole, limp from unconciousnes, (Can't spell) Everyone, including the old man, gave a sigh of relief. Kagome came around, 30 minutes later, after she was already taken to a hut and was placed by a fire. Inu Yasha was sitting against the wall asleep the others had gone to get food, "Inu Yasha?" Kagome said weakly. Inu Yasha's ear tweaked and he woke up. He got up and walked up to Kagome and sat down, like he often did, beside her.
" You need to go back to sleep." He said trying to hide his worry.
Kagome smiled, "1. I am not tired, 2. This is around the only time i will have to talk to any one without Sesshoumaru hearing."
"He's still out?"
"Yeah."
"Kagome, that was some great fighting back there. How did you know how to use the staff?" He said getting closer to her.
" I Don't really kn-" Inu Yasha her sentence off by a soft kiss. Kagome felt a shock go through out her body. And she willingly kissed him back. Her shock had woken Sesshoumaru up. His vision slowly surfaced and he began to see what Kagome was seeing.

Sesshome began to freak out and pushed Inu Yasha onto the fire.
" Ow! Kagome what the hell was that about!?" He said blowing on his hands. He put them in a tub of water and be gan to rub his butt..
" Yeah, Kagome I don't want to Kiss him!!" Sesshoumaru yelled.
"I'm sorry, it wasn't me that pushed you.. Sesshoumaru woke up.And i didn't expect you to wake up while we were um..well sorry." Kagome said in a very embarrassed tone.
The brothers glared at each other until Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Rin, and the old man came with food and wood for the now put out fire. After they had eaten the old man explained who he was.
"My name is Huntara. I am the true owner of the staff of feet." He paused for a second lookin at both staffs " Trade you?"
"NO WAY! I can use it when I want it." Kagome yelled grabbing the staff of heads and clenching it to her so Huntara couldn't grab at it.
"Fine, i was watching you with the staff of heads. Did you mutter any words?"
"No Kagome didn't say any words, we were just buried in ash!" Sesshoumaru said.
The old man looked at the odd looking human girl " Is there two people in your body my dear?"
"Yes. Sesshoumaru is in my body, until he can have his own body back. Then we all are back to normal.I can't wait for that!" Kagome said.
"I take this wasn't thought about before it happened?" The old man said.
" What are you talking about.Jaken never told me anything else than it would save my life." Sesshoumaru said.
" He didn't tell you it would kill the human?" Huntara asked concerned.
"No... Wait, she is going to die?!" Sesshoumaru became worried. Kagome then, had been given controll of her body so that his emmotions didn't show.

Kagome began to cry. Inu Yasha walked over to her and hugged her tightly. "It's alright kagome. we'll find a way. I promise."

Sesshomaru just watched, not sure of what to do, his feeling had never been so raw and exposed. He never thought he'd feel pitty in his life.
