Humans Don't Do That

"Is she asleep?" Sango asked carefully.

"Yeah." InuYasha sighed in relief as the others visibly relaxed.

It had not taken long for them to realize that any communication, whither with Kagome or simply near her, was a risk. Sometimes she would go off on an angry rant or start crying spontaneously, no matter what they did.

"So what's wrong with her?" Shippo asked unhappily.

Dusty considered the question, "Well… a large part of her chemical communications seem to have been turned off, causing her to act… like… this." She waved in Kagome's general direction.

"You don't know." InuYasha scowled.

Dusty gave in a dry look before breaking into a mischievous grin and spreading her arms wide, "Give us a hug!"

InuYasha scrambled back to get away from the suddenly affectionate drug producer.

"Dusty," Miroku spoke as she slowly made her way toward the frightened InuYasha, "I don't see how adding an amorous InuYasha to this situation would be at all helpful."

Dusty sighed, "He's just so fun to tease. And I do know what's going on with her. It's just that I don't want to tell you. It'll be funnier that way."

"Dusty," Miroku again addressed the pixy calmly, "I believe we have had enough fun at Kagome's expense. What's wrong with her?"

"It's…" Dusty thought how best to describe it and settled for, "her reproductive system, it's been turned all the way down. Her body is suffering from the lack of input that system provides."

They let Kagome sleep in the next day, figuring that would be safest. Once she did get up she was grumpy over breakfast and annoyingly chipper on the march north. Until mid-day, when she suddenly dropped Shippo and told him to walk on his own for once, then turned on InuYasha and yelled at him, apparently for walking in her peripheral vision.

Shortly after that out burst they reached the rock that marked the southern border of the non- and semi-non corporeal being vacation resort. It was a large brown lump jutting out of the ground, slightly taller than it was round.

"You guys stay here." Dusty floated gracefully into the sky again, "I'll bring back some passes."

Before anyone could ask about these "passes" she disappeared with a Th-pop!

"How long until Kagome changes again?" Shippo asked from his position on Miroku's shoulder.

"A few hours more Shippo." Miroku answered, "I am positive that Dusty will return in time to witness the next stage of the curse."

"I wonder what it will be like." Sango sighed, casting a wary glance at Kagome, who was staring passively out to sea.

"Anything'll be better than this!" InuYasha Scowled at the ground.

Kagome turned to glare at InuYasha "It's happening to me you insensitive jerk, SSsss-hmph!" she stood stiffly and walked around to the other side of the rock.

"I'm back!" Dusty drifted up to the group, "What'd InuYasha do now? Breath?" she asked and indicated Kagome as she pouted.

"He spoke." Sango said simply.

Dusty grimaced, "Big mistake. Anyway, Angel will bring the passes out tomorrow at this time."

"Uh… Dusty," Miroku approached her, "what is this pass?"

"And who's Angel?" InuYasha demanded.

"The passes allow corporeal beings to comprehend most of the resort and its occupants, which would otherwise be beyond your senses." Dusty explained, beginning to feel a little like a tour guide, "And Angle is… well, she's a semi permanent resident of the resort, as well as a … uh, corporeal being herself."

"Why do we have to wait another day?" Shippo asked impatiently.

"Yeah!" InuYasha exclaimed, annoyed that Shippo beat him to the question.

"They feel the next phase of Kagome's curse would be too disruptive to the tranquil atmosphere of the resort." Dusty recited, "And they need time to prepare that many passes and warn some of the guests." Dusty settled down next to Sango and called around the rock to Kagome, "Please come back around to this side, Kagome. It's almost that time again."

Kagome grudgingly got up and walked around the rock to sit facing the group.

"Better?" She barked.

"Yes, thank you." Dusty replied happily.

Silence fell on the group and Kagome fell into a depressed mope then turned a little green.

"Times up." Dusty chirped, "How do you feel Kagome?"

"The same," Kagome glared at Dusty, "and a little sick."

Dusty nodded, "I thought so, in this case, too much is similar to too little. The sickness should pass soon." Dusty continued to watch Kagome intently.

"Do you mean we have to put up with another day of this shit?" InuYasha yelled at the Pixie.

"Not exactly," Dusty replied distractedly, "There are likely to be some differences."

"Like what?" InuYasha asked cautiously.

Dusty shrugged, "We'll have to wait and see."

Kagome's face had returned to its normal color, and she started to look around at the group carefully. She paused on Miroku before turning her full attention on InuYasha. A strangely strong feeling began to well up inside her, and it urged her towards InuYasha.

"Kagome?" Sango asked, having noticed a strange look come over her friends face, "Are you alright?"

Kagome ignored her, "InuYasha, come here please." She said sweetly.

InuYasha looked up to see a predatory look in Kagome's eyes, "…Why?"

She shrugged, "Then stay there. I don't care." Kagome started to crawl to him.

InuYasha jumped up just as Kagome tried to pounce on him. "What the hell is going on? … Dusty?"

Dusty was grinning widely, "I was afraid of this."

Kagome made another grab at InuYasha and again he dodged just in time.

"What's going on with Kagome?" Miroku turned to Dusty.

"Isn't it obvious?" Dusty replied, laughing as InuYasha lead the frustrated miko around the camp, "Her reproductive system has been turned all the way up! Her body wants to make babies and apparently InuYasha is her preferred male donor."

"What should we do?" Sango wanted to stop Kagome from doing anything she might regret later, but the way she was moving… Sango wasn't sure she could grab her without hurting her. And then there was the rest of the day. Would they have to restrain her until the curse switched again?

"Place bets?" Dusty suggested, "How long will it take Kagome to think to subdue him? How long till InuYasha gives in?"

"Dusty," Miroku said in the warning look, "can't you do anything to help? I find it hard to believe you wouldn't be prepared for this."

Dusty gave him an annoyed look, "I think it'd be good for them, make them see some stuff, bring it out in the open." She shrugged, "I could give him a good hug, move things along."

Miroku arched an eyebrow at Dusty and she sighed, "Or I could give Kagome a big kiss. But she has to stay still. Sango be prepared to hold Kagome, I don't think it will be long now."

"What won't be-" Sango was interrupted by a resounding SIT! from Kagome, and the answering yelp and crash, some where down the beach. Followed by the sounds of a struggle.

"Come on! We've got to do it now, before he takes off again." Dusty jumped up and ran toward the sound as fast as she could, with the others not far behind.

"Shippo stay at camp!" Sango yelled over her shoulder.

"Awww!" Shippo stopped where he was and pouted, "I wanna know what's going on too!"

But the others had already reached the source of the noise. Kagome was sitting on InuYasha, trying to remove his haori, while InuYasha tried to prevent her from doing so, without hurting her. The panicked look on his face almost caused Dusty to change her mind. But her conscience won out in the end.

Sango grabbed Kagome and pulled her off of InuYasha, much to his relief, and Dusty stood in front of her.

"What are you do-" Kagome was cut off as Dusty held the sides of Kagomes face and gave her a big, overly dramatic kiss. Kagome's eyes widened in shock before her whole body drooped and her eyes closed.

"There," Dusty put her hands on her hips and grinned, "Problem solved. For a few hours anyway, until she wakes up again."

A/N: Sorry it took so long, I've been out of town and effectively with out computer. Sorry this moves so… badly, I'm hoping the next chapter flows alittle better. And gets out faster.

The count now stands at:

Kouga- 1

InuYasha- 1

And 1 for "just a test"

Remember only your last guess will be counted in the final chapter. And you don't have to guess to review ^_~

Happy guessing!
