InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Unexpected ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 3 )

Chapter 3

 

“Dear God” Sango whispered “Why me?”

 

Miroku's eyes widened for the 100th time this evening “What?!” he shouted

 

“I have a girls…thing” Inuyasha mumbled, cheeks turning quite red. An amazing feat for someone once buff.

 

“How do you know?” Miroku asked suspiciously.

 

“I can feel it.”

 

“Oh God” Sango said loudly “That means I…”

 

Sango left the sentence unfinished. Miroku suddenly felt dizzy.

 

“I guess we should all go to sleep and try to figure this out tomorrow” he suggested shakily.

 

Everyone agreed and decided that the best way to figure this problem out was to sleep on it.

 

Kagome still lay unconscious and Kirara and Shippo were in what looked like a permanent frozen state of shock. So they just left them lying there.

 

The next morning was filled with birds chirping.

 

Sango yawned and shook her head. Her hair was in a mess again. Silently, she combed her hair through with her fingers, which Sango noticed, looked more muscular.

 

She ran her fingers through her hair and then pulled it away. What happened now made her heart stop.

 

Twisted around her hand were strands of her hair. She was moulting! Frantically, she shook Kagome awake, who was lying next to her.

 

“Mph!” Kagome whispered and turned over

 

“Kagome!” she whispered furiously “Wake up!”

 

“W-what?” Kagome asked groggily.

 

“I'm moulting!”

 

That made Kagome jump wide awake “What?!”

 

“I need to use your reflection thing!”

 

“My mirror?”

 

“Yes!”

 

“Hold on”

 

Kagome rummaged around in her backpack. “Gotta be in here somewhere” Kagome muttered, while searching furiously. Sango's hair was falling out? Suddenly her hands stopped searching. Wait a minute…yesterday, Sango had said that her chest was flat…and Inuyasha had said that he had changed down…there.

 

Kagome was NOT going to faint again. She wouldn't allow herself to. Instead she forced herself to look for the mirror.

 

“Too late” a deep voice whispered sadly

 

Kagome turned around and Sango's hair was lying on the floor. Her hair was now shoulder length and looked like it had sharper edges. Her bangs, which were straight before, lay with pointed edges and hung over her eyes, much like Miroku's and Inuyasha's.

 

“Oh Sango…!” Kagome whispered “Your…hair! Your beautiful hair!”

 

“I know…” Sango looked away. All her life, she was trying to grow her hair as long as it could until it got in the way. Now it looks as if she was going to have to start growing her hair all over again.

 

Why was fate so cruel?

 

At least Inuyasha won't find himself moulting this morning, Sango thought sullenly.

 

“Kagome?”

 

“Yes?” Kagome asked nervously.

 

“I think I need some new clothes…” Sango had noticed that her slayer outfit had indeed gotten smaller and…well…a guy wearing a girl's yukata wasn't exactly too gentle on the eyes.

 

“Er…yeah” Kagome murmured. Wow, who knew Sango looked so good as a guy? Her once dark brown eyes had now turned a soft, light brown. She was now as tall as Inuyasha once had been and her hair was now shoulder length, the same colour as her eyes. Her arms were longer and now the muscles were apparent.

 

Kagome blushed. Inuyasha was still off somewhere thinking about the good times he and his `manliness' had and moping.

 

This gender switch was very confusing. Inuyasha who was originally a `he' is now a she. So she he/she be considered as a she? Or should he/she stay as a he? Same with Sango…

 

Argh. Brain fart.

 

Just whatever comes naturally, Kagome thought, shrugging.

 

Sango just watched Kagome making strange faces at nobody in particular. Huh…what is that girl doing now? Sometimes she can be so…strange…

 

Now noticing the fact that Kagome is quite pretty…

 

Ew. That just put a stab through her ego. Why would she think that KAGOME is pretty all of sudden?

 

Maybe cause you're turning into a guy?

 

Whoa. Where did that voice come from? Sango thought, confused.

 

I…am…your…FATHER!

 

No.

 

Fine. I'm your `Inner Self'

 

Just what I need, another ego, Sango thought grimly, rolling her eyes.

 

Sango's thoughts were cut short when they heard Inuyasha scream. Very loudly and girly in fact.

 

Kagome's head snapped up and her eyes met Sango's. They stared at each other, then sprang up and sprinted off to where the source of the voice was coming from.

 

OoO

 

“Inuyasha! What's wrong?!” Kagome shouted as the two burst into the clearing and thanks to Sango's tracking skills, they hadn't ended up in the middle of no-where.

 

“Th-there's a pervert!” Inuyasha cried out loud. “I was going to take a bath when…a pervert showed up! In the bushes! I threw a rock at him…”

 

Sango cautiously crept over and noticed a familiar foot sticking out. “Miroku!” Sango cried and dragged the unconscious monk out.

 

Miroku had a lump the size of a fist sticking out like a sore thumb.

 

“Who knew Miroku was this desperate?” Kagome muttered under her breath.

 

Sango dumped him in the cold river and he instantly woke up.

 

“Ugh, my head…?” Miroku glanced up and saw the trio glaring at him with icy glares.

 

“You sick, sick perverted monk!” Sango shot at him “Who knew you loved peeping on men!”

 

“Well, technically, Inuyasha is not a man anymore…she's turned into a woman” Miroku grinned slyly, shaking his wet hair out of his eyes. Suddenly, he noticed something odd…

 

“Sango? What happened to your hair?”

 

“I…ah…cut it?” she glanced at Kagome sheepishly.

 

“So you would look more manly?” Miroku nodded in a knowing way “Of course, you should tie it like mine, so we can go and protect young women together!” he smiled brightly.

 

“This form isn't permanent Miroku!” At least…she hoped it wasn't…

 

“Ah yes.” Miroku thought for a while “Then you should enjoy being a man while you can!”

 

…Idiot.

 

“Oh like groping? And peeking and spying and being perverted?!” Sango asked acidly.

 

Kagome and Inuyasha were just watching this conversation with open mouths.

 

“Hey Kagome?” Inuyasha whispered.

 

“Yeah?” Kagome was not paying any attention to the hanyou next to her and failed to notice him leaning closer.

 

“You know what I think?” Inuyasha mumbled lightly in her ear.

 

Kagome gasped lightly. She could feel his warm breath beside her ear. Her heart started to thump faster with every breath “W-what?” she stuttered.

 

“I think that…” he leaned closer.

 

Kagome's heart beat even faster and she felt a glimmer of hope “Yes?” she asked.

 

“I think that…” he was so close now… “Miroku is kinda cute!”

 

Kagome's hopes came crashing down.

 

Her face turned bright red “What are you saying?!” she shouted at him loudly. Miroku and Sango stopped their arguing and glanced over.

 

“Don't you think so?” Inuyasha queried.

 

“Think what?” Miroku asked. Sango nodded. She wanted to know too.

 

Kagome's face was now red from anger and embarrassment “H-he thinks that…that…” Kagome stuttered. She stopped “Why are you doing this?!” Kagome cried back at Inuyasha.

 

“SIT BOY!”

 

Inuyasha went slamming down along with Kagome's hopes earlier on. “W-what?” Inuyasha was looking pale. “All I said was if you thought Miroku was-“

 

“SIT BOY!” Kagome ordered.

 

His face slammed down again.

 

“SIT!”

 

Again

 

“SIT!”

 

And again

 

“SIT!”

 

And again…

 

“Um, Kagome? I think you should stop…” Sango asked nervously. She sure was glad that she didn't have a rosary.

 

Kagome was breathing heavily. “Stop getting my hopes up! I still have a lot from where that came from!”

 

“Oh dear…” Sango sighed. This dilemma was sure as hell not going to be a simple trip.

 

Miroku helped Inuyasha up from the ground. For once, he was on Inuyasha's side…alright, he just wanted to know what Inuyasha was going to say about him.

 

Inuyasha looked up at Miroku and blushed.

 

Oh. My. God.

 

Sango nearly vomited and Kagome looked stricken. Did Inuyasha just…blush? At Miroku?

 

This was not happening, Kagome thought desperately.

 

She looked over to find Sango looking at her and felt her cheeks heat up.

 

Shoot.

 

Bad Kagome! Bad, bad, bad, bad, BAD! Don't think that about Sango! She's a girl! Although she is one cute boy…no! Bad!

 

And Miroku was wagering the exact same thought in his head only it went something along the lines of:

 

Bad Miroku! You're straight! Don't think Inuyasha is cute…hmm…I wonder if I could peek-NO! You. Are. Straight! Bad thoughts! Bad, bad, bad!

 

Miroku pulled away from Inuyasha and Kagome ripped her gaze away from Sango's.

 

Everybody was caught up in an awkward silence. Kagome glanced over at Miroku. Both of them had looks that said “This did NOT happen” and both agreed to a mutual contract. Nothing about that moment would go out.

 

Great Kagome. Just Great. You're falling for your best friend, Kagome thought sarcastically

Good going Miroku. You think the guy that has stopped you from `protecting' Sango, is cute! Just perfect…Miroku thought to himself.

 

Indeed, Inuyasha had taken on a more softer appearance and while his eyebrows were sharper before, they had now taken on a more thinned look. His ears had grown more lady-dog-like and he had definitely shrunk; his eyes were up to Miroku's nose.

 

Yeah, this was just great. Falling for the opposite gender.

 

AN: Please review and tell me what you think. Should it be InuxSango later on? Or something else?
