Chapter 2: How do we break the spell?
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!"
The sudden scream caused Sango, Shippo and Kirara jumped and look up from the book. They saw Sesshomaru or whoever it is in his body jumped to his feet and look down at his body in shock. His eyes were wild and frightened.
They quickly put down the book and rushed to him. He stopped screaming when he saw them running toward him.
"Sango, Shippo, why am-am I Sess-Sesshomaru now?" he stuttered.
"Who are you then?" Sango asked.
"I'm Kagome."
"WHAT!?" Sango and Shippo cried. Kirara mewed.
"So what happened?" Kagome asked anxiously, looking around her. She saw her own body, Inuyasha and Miroku still sprawled on the grass. It gave her a strange feeling to see herself from a distance, without a mirror of course.
"Well, I…" Shippo didn't know how to put it so Sango answered for him instead.
"Shippo intended to cast a calm people spell on Inuyasha and Sesshomaru so they'll stop fighting but he accidentally cast the body switching spell instead of the calm people spell. It was all an accident," Sango explained.
"So I got switched into Sesshomaru's body?" Kagome asked. She was taking in slowly.
"Yes," Sango replied.
She blinked at them.
They blinked back at her.
"This must be a dream," Kagome said. "Wake up! Wake up!" She yelled while slapping herself hard on the face.
"Stop it, Kagome!" Sango yelled, grabbing her arm. "You're not dreaming," she said. "See?" She pinched Kagome hard on the arm.
"Alright, I feel it," Kagome sighed. "I guess you're right."
Just then, Inuyasha groaned and sat up. He blinked a few times and looked around him. They immediately rushed to his side.
"Are you okay?" Sango asked, concerned.
"Yeah, I guess so," he replied. "Just a little sore here and there."
"So who are you?" Shippo asked enthusiastically.
"Can't you recognize me? I'm Miroku," he said incredulously. Geez, do they have eyesight problem or something?" he thought.
"Well, unfortunately we can't because Shippo here accidentally switched our bodies," Kagome replied.
Miroku looked down at his body. "Huh!?" he yelped in surprise and shocked to find himself wasn't in the right body.
He looked up at them to see whether they understood his shock, they nodded and said, "Mm-hmm."
"Then who are you then," he asked, looking at Kagome up and down.
"I'm Kagome."
He sighed, "It really is a shame that I didn't end up in your body instead."
SLAP!
SLAP!
"You pervert!" Kagome and Sango screamed and gave him a slap each.
No sooner they had slapped him Kagome's and Miroku's former body began to stir and sat up. Kagome's former body muttered a string of curses as it sat up.
"That's Inuyasha no doubt," Shippo pointed out. They all nodded in agreement.
"So Sesshomaru is in my body then," Miroku said, looking at his former body sat up with an emotionless expression on its face. "What luck," he muttered.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome rushed to his side. "Are you okay?"
"Get away from me you bastard!" he shouted, attempting to shove her away.
"I'm Kagome. I know this may sound crazy but Shippo accidentally switched our bodies so now we're in the wrong bodies," Kagome explained as calmly as she could. She got a little hurt when Inuyasha called her bastard.
"What the hell are you talking about?" he asked, giving her a weird look.
"Look at yourself," Kagome said, pushing his head downwards so that he could look at his body.
"WHAT THE HELL!!!!" he screamed and jumped up in shock, putting his hands on each side of his head.
Kagome grabbed his arm; again it felt strange grabbing the same arm she used to have but only this time without feeling it, and yelled, "Calm down! We're not going to die! We're just not in the right bodies that's all." Her yell make the others turned their attentions to them. Sango had just finished explaining things to Sesshomaru and to their surprise; he seemed to be taking in everything so well. He didn't scream when he saw he wasn't in the right body.
"SHIPPO!!! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!!!!" Inuyasha screamed at the top of his lungs or Kagome's lungs.
"EEEEEP!" Shippo shrieked in fear. He quickly hide behind Sango when he saw Inuyasha was about to charge at him. Whether Inuyasha is in his right body or not, he still looked as menacing as ever when he's angry. Sesshomaru on the other hand just looked on their commotion as calmly as ever.
"Stop, Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted, moving quickly to block his way before he could reach Shippo. She was surprised how fast she could move now.
Inuyasha skidded to a halt. "Inuyasha, I know you're probably blaming Shippo for what had happened but shouldn't we be spending time figuring out how to get out of this mess than kill someone?" Kagome asked, standing boldly in front of him.
"Grrrr…" Inuyasha growled through gritted teeth and then said, "Alright then, we'll figure it out but I'll kill Shippo when this is all over." He waved his delicate girl fist at Shippo.
"Good," Kagome sighed in relief.
"So have you figured it out how to break the spell, Shippo?" Kagome asked.
"I haven't because I haven't finish browsing through the book," Shippo said.
"Do any of you here know anything about breaking spells?" she asked, looking at all of them.
"Keh! Don't look at me. I know next to nothing about magic," Inuyasha said, folding his arms in front of his chest.
"Sesshomaru?"
"I'm a warrior, not a magician. Magic does not interest me," he answered flatly.
Kagome sighed and turned to Miroku, "Miroku?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know anything as well," Miroku shrugged.
"Hmm…spells huh?" Kagome frowned, rubbing her chin. Then she snapped her fingers, "Now I remembered!"
"Remember what?" All of them asked eagerly.
"I remembered I read somewhere about breaking fairy spells. It's often involving something simple, like walking backwards or holding your breaths or spinning in circles," she explained.
"Yeah, right," Inuyasha said sarcastically. "But you forget; this is demon magic."
"Of course I know!" she exclaimed. "But it doesn't harm us to try, right?"
"I think Kagome has a point," Miroku agreed.
"Keh! Whatever," Inuyasha said. "The sooner we break the spell the better."
They started by holding their breaths. They held their breaths until they turned blue but still nothing happened. They ended up out of breath instead.
"No, not working." They shook their heads.
Next, they tried walking backwards and that doesn't work either. And finally they try spinning in circles but they all ended up dizzy except for Kagome, instead.
Inuyasha, Miroku and Sesshomaru were staggering in dizziness after their spin.
"So any more wise ideas, Kagome," Inuyasha sneered.
"Hey, I was just trying to help!" Kagome defended herself.
"Yeah, and making us all look like idiots," he muttered.
"Well, why don't all of you get something to eat while me and Shippo try looking for it instead?" Sango quickly cut in before they can get into a quarrel.
"Yeah," Shippo chimed in, hopping onto Sango's shoulder.
They nodded and set out to make camp. It was afternoon but the sky was cloudy without sunshine so they can sit comfortably in the clearing.
Inuyasha dug through Kagome's backpack and brought out six cup ramen. "Kagome, can you make some ramen for us?"
"Why don't you make them? Since you're me now," Kagome pointed out.
"Keh! Fine," he replied unhappily.
"What!? Asking you to make ramen is too much?" Kagome said angrily. "Can't you see I got only one arm?"
"Well, you can try practicing it right now," Inuyasha replied while pouring hot water into each cup.
"You're unbelievable!" Kagome stormed away to where Sango and Shippo were reading the book.
When the ramen was ready, they all sat and eat together. Sesshomaru didn't want to accept the food at first but he accepted it in the end after his stomach growled.
"So Sango, no luck," Miroku asked.
"No, I'm afraid not," Sango replied.
"We've almost browse through the whole book but we still couldn't find anything," Shippo sighed.
"Where did you get the book?" Sesshomaru spoke for the first time in the conversation. He tended to remain silent and emotionless all the time.
"From a fox demon named Taiki."
"Why don't we find this Taiki and asked him to help us instead?" he suggested.
"Hey, that's not a back idea," Inuyasha said. "Why don't we go find him after we eat?"
All of them nodded in agreement.
"Hey, wait," Kagome said. Then she turned to Sesshomaru, "Where's Rin and Jaken and the two headed dragon of yours?"
"They're safe back in the palace," he replied.
"Then we're all set then," Miroku said.
After their meal, they packed up and leave in search of Taiki. There's going to be many adventures ahead of them than they thought before they can return back to their bodies.
