The Switch

Chapter 5

He was as confused as she was then it hit her she looked down and saw the familiar string of beads on her own neck

He followed her gaze and saw that the beads were right where they should be on his neck or rather on his body but he wasn't in his body now was he? They stood there in shock.

How could I not notice my subduing necklace missing? My subduing necklace, the one that causes all my pain! But I wouldn't trade it in for the worldit reminds me of Kagome and it makes me feel safe whenever I touch it, How could I not notice have I felt so safe that I didn't need to touch it? I guess since I'm in her body now I've been feeling so tense that I guess It went unnoticed. He wondered.

After what seemed like an eternity (a couple of minutes.) they both opened their mouths and spoke at the same time "Whaaa?" they shut their mouth and opened it again.

"Thewhaa? How could thisI" They were both baffled. The trees blew slightly in the win. The two teenagers still stood there motionless until a sly and mischievous smile appeared on Inuyasha's 'pretty girl face' and started to come forward, slowly. Kagome opened her eyes wider.

"Uh, hehehe Inuyasha whawhat are youI was just joking! Hahaha It was a joke! I'm not mad at you! Really! Hahahaha" She started backing up fast. He was a hand in front of her "It was a joke! Inuya" She tripped over a loose rock and fell onto her back. Unfortunately (or fortunately, however you look at it!) Inuyasha came down with her, and fell on top of her! They were a hair apart (which is not saying much!), nose to nose eye to eye, They both stared into their own eyes, and then they noticed they were staring into their OWN eyes!

Inuyasha jumped off her as fast as 'his' feminely human legs possibly could. Kagome sat up on to the ground and, slowly pulled herself up so her feet were firmly on the ground. They brushed themselves off, both of their gazes lingered towards each other; they quickly wipped their heads away with pink cheeks.

"Kagome, KagomeOh your still here welldinner is ready" He turned to 'Inuyasha'.

" We made ramen." Embarrassment forgotten, Inuyasha's eyes widened in happiness.

"Ramen? What are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Souta tilted his head to the side and wondered why his 'sister' would be happy to eat ramen that was Inuyasha's job. Did something freaky happen like they are occupying each others bodies somehownah! Oh I really have to get out more! They probably just admitted their feelings to each other and now are so shocked that they decided to be like each other!...Ha! Souta chuckled to himself and followed the two inside.

A little while later they all gathered around the table starring in silence as 'Kagome' wolfed down her ramen in giant messy gulps. Kagome stared at her messy self with wide disgusted eyes, she cleared her throat.

"Slurp. Splashslurp" she cleared her throat again, but louder

"Slurpslurp" She rolled her eyes and jabbed her elbow into his ribs. He coughed "OW!" he held his injured side. He wasn't the only one in pain. Kagome felt a slight pain in her side as well, but decided to shake it off. "What did you do that for wen" he looked around at the shocked open mouthed faces. Kagome's Grandpa cocked an eyebrow

"Uhh... Kagome are you feeling okay? You're acting like" Kagome stood up and put a hand on Inuyasha's forehead "Uhhh Your rightKagome you don't look so good I think you should go and get some rest" Now Ms. Higurashi stood up.

"Oh no, Kagome your sick?"

"No, no she just needs some rest i'll take care of her." She said without thinking while dragging a lost and confused (and 'sick') 'Kagome' out of the room. Ms. Higurashi smiled slightly and slowly sat down "Okay, sweetie you take good care of Kagome for me" she said quietly to none in particular, and resumed eating their supper.
