The Switch

Chapter 11

Inuyasha wandered around aimlessly in Kagome's body. He looked as if he were in a trancelike state. Despite his emotionless appearance inside he was dealing with all sort of different, confusing emotions. 'What am I doing here? I should go back and tell her how I feel No! I can't! Sango was just lying. Kagome doesn't feel anything towards me! She'll just laugh at me. I can't let what Sango said affect me. It's not true! Its notright? Why is it so hard for me to admit my feelings Wait! Wait! What feelings! Ugh why is this so hard? I love her don't I? Do I?...II do! I love her! Andand if she can't accept that, thenthen' Inuyasha sighed to himself.

"Then I don't know what I'll do..." He whispered into the cool night breeze. "Come to pay me a visit, Inuyasha?" a cold voice startled Inuyasha from his deep thoughts and he turned around to see Kikyou . "Kikyou how did you know it was me?..." "I see that Kaede still kept that old potion, your aura is different" Kikyou spoke with a

cold distance in her voice. "Kaede? She did this? That old hag She's going to get it!" Kikyou chuckled but it sounded forced and fake.

"Inuyasha, aren't you forgetting? You promised you would go to hell with me...You won't be seeing Kagome inHell." Inuyasha eyes widened. "I said I would think about"

"Well then? I've given you more then enough time!" Her voice still cold was starting to rise.

"B...But NarakuI killed him, I've avenged your death-"

"Yes, you have. But I still want you to come with me!" She cut in.

"No!"

"...what?"

"I said No! I'm staying here, with KagomeI love her" Kikyou laughed.

"No you don't! You love me! And you will come to Hell with me, like you were supposed to!" Kikyou's eyes flared. She shot her hand behind her and retrieved her bow and a slim arrow. She shot an arrow at Inuyasha's surprised form, who fell to the ground, clutching his stomach. He got up slowly, Kikyou fired another shot, and he dodged the attack.

"Inuyasha. You will die with me!" She brought up another arrow and fired, luckily it flew over Inuyasha's head.

"No! I love Kagome! I'm sorry Kikyou, but I'm over you now"

"Kagome doesn't love you. You probably haven't even told her yet. You know why? Because you know deep down inside that she couldn't ever love a worthless, pathetic half-breed like you. So just give up now, and come with me. You don't deserve Kagome."

Inuyasha dodged another arrow."If that's how you feel, it just makes me love Kagome even more, she will accept my love and me!" Kikyou yelled in frustration, and shot a powerful attack. Inuyasha tried jumping out of the way, but the attack scraped him on his leg right under his knee. He yelled in pain and he fell to the ground.

"Look at you, you're pathetic, you know you can't win. You won't be able to in that body, and you can't defend yourself without a weapon. So stop resisting me, and come with me to Hell!"

"He's not going anywhere, at least not in my body!" A strong masculine voice said behind Kikyou. Inuyasha looked up to see Kagome, in his body. She was in a fighting stance, feet apart, knees bent, with Tetsaiga in front of her, firmly between her two hands. Inuyasha did a double take and saw that Tetsaiga was fully transformed. Inuyasha's eyes widened 'How can that be?' Kagome looked behind Kikyou to see that Inuyasha was on the ground clutching his leg and a hand on his stomach (he sounds pregnantDon't think that! lol He just got hurt, he's in Kag's body after all.) Kagome's eyes widened, while her gaze shifted to Kikyou. She sucked in her breath. Drew her eyebrows together, and began running full speed towards Kikyou, before any of them knew what was happening, Tetsaiga's blade collided with Kikyou's shocked face and fake body before the blade sliced right through her dead corpse. She shrieked as her body turned to what it really was, a pile of bones and grave yard soil. Kagome dropped

the sword and she fell to the ground, weeping in her hands. Inuyasha shook himself from his shock and slowly pulled himself up. He limped to where Kagome was crying, he reached out a hand.

"Hhey why are you crying?" Kagome peeked out from her hands still wet from her tears.

"II'm sorry" she sobbed.

"When I saw that you were hurt before I knew it, somehow Tetsaiga was in my hands and II was runningtowardsher. You must hate me. II killed Kikyou." She started to cry even more. Inuyasha painfully bent down.

"You didn't kill her, she was already deadI don't hate you." He whispered.

"I-" "Hey, you two!" They heard Miroku call out to them, He was climbing off of Kirara's back with Sango and Shippo following him.

"We got here in time to see what happened. We should get you both to the village, to have you bandaged up. As Sango and Miroku came up to Inuyasha to help him put him on Kirara, which he refused to do with any help. Shippo stood there in shock as he watched Kagome. To him it looked like Inuyasha was in the middle of the forest, on the ground, crying uncontrollably into his palms. Miroku came up to Shippo who was behind Inuyasha making sure he didn't fall while trying to prove that he could make it

to Kirara's back without help.

"That's not really Inuyasha, you can close your mouth now." He whispered. Shippo complied, and went back to Kirara but still with glances at the crying 'Hanyou'. He saw Sango come up to 'Inuyasha' she gave 'him' a smile and hugged 'him'.

Since there wasn't much space on Kirara, Miroku, Inuyasha, and Shippo stayed on her. While the other two started to walk back to

the village. And once Kirara dropped off her three passengers she went back to meet up with the other two.

Inuyasha had laid down on one of the futons, and put up a bit of fight while Sango tended to his wounds, she didn't want Miroku tending to Kagome's body's wounds. Kagome was outside the hut tending to her own wounds, which were not visible. Miroku sat down beside her.

"What are you looking for?" he asked curiously

"I don't understand it. I thought my stomach was bleeding, it was hurting so much. And my leg, while I was running through the forest, it felt like it was shot with arrows. But now that I look at it there's isn't even a scratch. I know I didn't imagine that pain."

Miroku's eyebrows shot up.

"Those are the exact places Inuyasha was hit by" Kagome looked down, her eyes tearing up again. She was still shaken up by what had happened earlier.

"It must be the effects of the curse." Miroku whispered his thoughts out loud, but it didn't go unheard by Kagome's new super ears.

"What? What curse?"

"Oh nothing I was just thinking out loud again." He gave her an uneasy smile, and Kagome was not about to let him go, and would have asked more questions if Inuyasha hadn't come up behind him and cleared his throat.

"Kagomewe need to talk" Inuyasha said nervously. Kagome sighed and stood up. Kagome knew she wouldn't be able to avoid this conversation, it was inevitable. She was sure this conversation would be Inuyasha telling her that she should not come with him anymore because she killed his first and only love, even though earlier he said he didn't hate her, she was positive he was lying because she was crying then. Kagome's shoulders slumped. As she walked in front of him into a more concealed part of the forest.

"Well you know we had to talk about this sooner or later"
