Naraku's Mind Games
Sorai
Dinner was an uneventful affair.
If one were to summon it one sentence; Kagome thought, it would be like, enduring constant stares from everyone. Oh how she hated the superiority complex that some of these had. What wouldn't she do to just go and shoot purifying arrows at all of them! They were getting on her nerves now.
She had figured that it wasn't such a good idea to open her mind of all barriers as of yet, and was avoiding reading anyone's mind for now. Of course occasional thoughts kept on coming in, mainly concerning the fact that she was a human. Open your eyes people! You live in a world WITH humans goddamn it!
She was really annoyed with everyone, as she explained to Sango on their way back to their rooms.
Kagome stopped suddenly, startling Sango. As Sango opened her mouth, Kagome signaled for her to be quiet. Her gaze fell on a window, out of which a certain Ugly Bunny seemed to be peeking, looking at them. Upon realizing that he had been seen, he darted away.
Kagome looked after him, but decided that pursuit would be useless.
Sango had also seen him, and started, "Isn't that the same time of hideous rabbit, like Sesshomaru killed?"
Kagome nodded, fuming. Someone was following them. Trying to make their lives hell. She was going to kill that person.
"Don't you understand? Someone is following us, the same one who made our body switch happen! Ohh...That person is going to wish he never saw us, once I'm through with him!"
0000000000000000000000000000
Ugly Bunny scurried away. He did not want to go the same way as Obnoxiously Ugly Bunny, now did he?
As he ran through the gardens to a safe spot, he spotted Sesshomaru and a few of his officers coming his way.
Oh crap! Naraku cursed through the rabbit's eyes. He hadn't got one chance to embarrass the both of them, the enemies he felt were the most threatening to him. We need time to hide! Ok, bunny, do the body swap, anything to buy us time. The rabbit stood in the middle of distance of the two, chanted a verse and went off to hide, for the swap had taken place.

Sesshomaru experienced a falling sensation and swayed slightly in the company of a few of his officers.
Kagome fared worse. She fell flat down, a very worried Sango behind her.
Kagome opened her eyes to be a demon again. Damn! She cursed. I must be in Sesshomaru's body again! Oh no! He was with his officers! How the hell am I going to pull this off? Crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap...
Why now? She wailed in her mind. Wait! Maybe she should try to locate sesshomaru using her powers...she was interrupted by a very loud thought.
ACT AS IF ME, MIKO!
She snapped to attention. Luckily not one of Sesshomaru's officers had noticed her acting a bit out of character, as they were happily chatting among themselves, but if she wanted to respond to any possible upcoming questions, she'd better listen.
They were discussing politics. How boring! She thought.
Suddenly a voice squirmed in her mind, past in her barrier.
Listen miko! It called.
I am sitting not too far from you, and can see and hear you perfectly. Act like me, and answer what I say to you if someone asks you a question.
I will not take lightly to have you squealing over a butterfly in my body, and you WILL regret it. And yes, that was a threat.
Kagome fumed. Not fair! He got his reputation saved but what about hers?
Ok..scratch that.. she didn't have a reputation, she generally followed her heart in all matters...but still didn't mean he could order her around! she had already been nice to him already, and avoided 'fluffy'ing him in his castle. Stupid arrogant sesshomaru! She thought.
You know I can hear you miko?
Damn! Oh well, then you saw my side of the argument.
There is no argument about it! You will act like I tell you to in my body, especially in my castle, or else I will be forced to get the message across in another way.
Hmph!
She began listening to the droning conversation.
Politics...blah...more politics...blah..blah..how do stand this stuff?
Sikb raised an eyebrow. He was sitting directly across her, pretending to read a book.
I am a lord. You seem to forget that, wench.
I have a name, you know that?
Hhmm...Wasn't it something like Inuyasha's wench? That's the only name I could remember of you.
My, my, not terribly bright with names are we? Or any other way for that matter!
You've known me for this long, plus spent the last few days with us and you don't know my name. Bah!
Humans are beneath my notice.
Stupid attitude...stupid sesshomaru..stupid castle...stupid body switch...stupid mind reading ability..stupid everything!
Including yourself?
SHUT UP! Even listening to this politics argument would be better then listening to you!
He crossed his arms. Fine I'd like to see you try.
I will!
With that, Kagome began to try to listen to the unfolding argument. Before long, though, her eyelids began to close.
YOU! MIKO, DONT YOU FALL ASLEEP ON ME!
She jumped two feet in the air at this loud thought. The other officers stared.
Trying to sound like Sesshomaru, she said, "Excuse me for moment please, gentlemen." and got up. As she walked right by her own body, she heard the confused thoughts of the officers behind her.
Since when did Sesshomaru-sama say please?
Is he alright?
I think he's going soft or something!
Wait...come to think of it, why did he call us gentlemen?
We aren't men if he bothered to notice! We are demons!
Hearing this, Kisb sniggered. Wipe that smile off my face, miko!
Oh god! You and your reputation!
Yes me and my reputation! Now stop smiling goofily. It is the most unflattering.
Now out of sight of sesshomaru's officers, Kagome grinned harder.
Stop that this moment, Kagome, or I shall be forced to Fluffy you, or come after you.
Do it all you want! Your reputation's the one who will be taking a beating!
Oh wow! You said my name!
Yes I did! Now clear your-MY face of that degrading smile. It looks like I've spending too much time around Rin.
At this Kagome laughed openly for a moment, but recovered and became sober.
Looking back around the corner, she caught sight of his tail.
Her face brightened.
Sikb's face darkened.
Oh my god! She squealed with happiness, in her mind.
OH HELL NO! Sikb almost yelled out. He wasn't even making an effort to look like he was reading a book.
She gingerly raised her hand.
NO! MIKO! GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF!
She smirked, and was about to pet it, when he stood up and hurriedly walked over to where his body stood.
I will force you to stop that kagome!
Oh? She raised her eyebrow. What will that look like? A miko come up, ad grab the Great Sesshomaru's hand, and they both walk off, singing? Life Jingle Lalaa?
Damn you! He cursed. How about we call a truce for today?
What's in it for me? She thought.
Hm...I won't kill you when I get back?
You won't anyway! Sesshomaru, why do you act so cold? You just saved me brain damage, back in my room, and then threaten to kill me? Do you really think I'd believe that threat?
So, you think I should have just left you like that? He asked quizzically.
No, I think you aren't a bad person inside, so you should stop trying to act like one!
He growled. You know nothing miko. Now, come. We are going to wait this switch out talking to Sorai.
She came without hesitation.
