Hello my fellow writers of fanfiction. I'm sorry to say that no this is not an update for my other work Never Mess with an Elder Sister I just had a sudden burst of inspiration for this idea after reading Prepare the Masses. Its a good story idea and i'm sad to say that it's writer hasn't updated in more than two years. I kinda liked the idea of a maleKagome and Iktou pairing , so I thought i would give it a go and see how it comes out. If anyone has read my other fan-fiction and are waiting for an update, plz be patient, I will be updating it soon. I welcome criticism as long as it's constructive and not a flamer, i would ever do it someone else so I ask for the same curtesy.

If there's one thing that hasn't changed about that damned dog in the last five hundred years is how infuriating he is, Kagome thought venomously as she gazed at the door that would lead to her new 'classmates' with blank blue eyes.

"Alight everyone please give Taisho Kage-san your warmest welcome," said the teacher. "He's come to our school due to circumstances with his home life and at the wish of his guardian." Yes sensei, tell them all about my personal problems why don't you? Stupid wench, 'her' venomous thoughts sounding much like the dog demon that 'she'd' been cursing only a second ago.

"Taisho-san come in and, introduce yourself to the class."

A young man about 17 years old opened the door and walked up to the front of the classroom. The youth had long ebony hair that was tinted blue and was tied in a braid that stopped at his waist. Blue eyes the same color as the sky looked at them while a almost delicately handsome face displayed no emotion whatsoever. The youths skin was slightly tanned and his body looked lean despite the aura of strength around him. The schools uniform pants were slashed at the knees and he didn't wear the school jacket. Instead he wore the uniform black shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, untucked from his pants and the first two buttons unbuttoned. Giving everyone a small glimpse at a delectable collarbone, the schools signature cross necklace laying against his unblemished skin, looking almost sinfully innocent to the females of the class. His right hand was covered with a dark purple color glove that went to his elbow, even darker colored beads wrapped around the youths gloved hand(think Mioku's). And finally on his left ear was a silver ear cuff attached to a small chain that connected to a red, fox shaped piercing.

The youth's eyes scanned the classroom, passing girls that were looking at him with rapped attention or splashes of pink on their faces and males that gazed at him in hostility or curiosity, other than another youth with dark blue hair that was gazing out the window there was nothing different with this class than the hundreds of others that he'd seen over the years.

Damn you Sesshomaru for putting me here, damn you for putting me back in hell! "I'm Taisho Kage," the blue eyes youth said, his voice a soft timber that melted a good deal of female classmates, and a few males. Kagome inclined his head in greeting, "A pleasure."

"Good Taisho-san, go take the free seat besides Tsukiyomi-san so we can get started with today's lessons. Tsukiyomi-san raise your hand so Taisho-san can see where you are please."

The blue haired youth stopped gazing outside and barley raised a hand.

"Hn," Kagome nodded slowly to show that he heard the teachers instructions, and the blue haired youth. He walked to the empty desk besides him and got out the textbook needed for the day's first lesson.

(Kagome will be referred to Kage and he from now on to avoid confusion, answers will also be coming up next so please hardcore Inuyasha fans don't have an aneurism.)

Kagome Higurashi, now Kage Taisho, quickly tuned out the teacher when he saw that the first subject of the day was history. The easiest subject for her, well 'him' now. Instead he pondered how his life had been so screwed up.

It wasn't really hard to figure out, damn you INUYASHA! It was all his fault that he was a 'he' in the first place, if he'd only realized that the Kikyo that he'd know wasn't the same as when she'd been resurrected he wouldn't have to masquerade as a male.

...Is it a masquerade when you physically 'are' a male?

The answer eluded him even now. And he wasn't sure he even wanted an answer.

He sighed, Kage doubted that the idiot would have done anything even if he had known. He never could see things clearly when it came to his precious Kikyou.

Kage could still remember everything that had happened over 500 years ago as if it were yesterday. He along with Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Seshomaru, Kouga, Ayame, and Inuyasha had finally found Naraku's hiding place. They, along with the armies of the north and west, had planned and strategized how best to attack. Kage along with Miroku and Sango had been given the rank of general over the armies, Inuyasha refused because it meant swearing fealty to the West, and therefore his brother, and Shippo had been too young to fight in a major military campaign.

The humans had had no problem with their oaths, after spending two years fighting each other and Naraku the daiyoukai had developed a grudging respect for the human members of his half brother's pack, it helped that his respect had grown after they'd saved Rin from being eaten by a random bat youkai. He'd even helped train them when the idea of a campaign was first brought up.

Eight months of perfectionist hell and they had been deadly, Kage and Miroku especially since their Ki was specifically used against anything tainted and youkai; and they were ready to destroy Naraku and the Shikon no Tama once and for all. Course not all their soldiers were okay with taking orders from humans, after a heated debate that ended with Sesshomaru promising to behead anyone who continued they began their assault.

The resulting battle had lasted three days and nights but at the end he and his friends had purified Naraku from existence and the jewel had once again been in his possession. Many from their army had died, including Sango's little brother Kohaku, but their nightmare had finally come to an end. A large funeral had been held for those that had died followed by a celebration to Naraku's demise.

Tired and sore from battle they had no way of defending themselves against another assault, this time lead by Inuyasha and Kikyo for the jewel. He had snuck up on them and given the jewel to Kikyo when they had hesitated to attack their former friend and pack mate. The clay miko made her wish while the rest of them had stood momentarily in shock.

Kage sighed again, leaning his head against his hand while he starred at the teacher, no longer seeing her. But instead he saw a young woman in miko garbs clutching a tainted jewel as her lifeless eyes and emotionless face, so similar physically to his own, twisted hideously with envy, rage, and hate.

I wish that Kagome could never be with Inuyasha.

Such a foolish female, she'd been. She'd gotten what she'd wanted, the jewel had granted her wish, but like all that Kage had seen regarding that cursed jewel the one who used it hadn't lived to see it's effects. And it twisted the wisher's desire to fit it's own goals.

Kagome Higurashi, the Shikon no Miko, had been turned male. And therefore could never be with Inuyasha in a romantic way, at least as far as Kikyo's limited knowledge of relationships had thought. Kage would bet that she hadn't even considered a same sex relationship that was so common in the present, it wasn't that odd in the past either but the most same sex couples that Kage had seen were with Fox demons, so she had no way of knowing. But neither had Inuyasha.

The jewel had disappeared after that, and Sesshomaru had executed the two of them like the traitors they'd been. Kage had wept for the half demon that he'd loved so much after the deed had been done; he had tried to flee back to the present. However without the Shikon the well no longer functioned, he had been stuck in the past. With a heavey heart Kage had taken to raising Shippo as his own son for as long as he could since he was human and later serving Sesshomaru as one of his Generals when Miroku and Sango had gotten married and settled down in Kaede's village.

Time might have healed the wounds left from his first love's batrayal, but it had left scars that had drastically altared his own destiny. Ten years after the defeat of Naraku and Inuyasha's betrayal and he hadn't aged at all. When he told Sesshomaru, the two of them had returned to Kaede's village to discuss what might have been the cause. They eventually hypothesized that because of Kikyo's desire for Kage's death counterminded the jewel's desire to keep it's current protector, the jewel had twisted the nature of her wish. Instead of killing him, which Kikyo had hopped for no doubt, it had used her limited knowlege as a advantage while still fullfilling her wish. He'd been given the lifespan of a daiyoukai, who according to Sesshomaru could live for hundreds of years if he chose. Kage would have outlived Inuyasha by centuries and they wouldn't have been a couple do to his new gender. So both Kikyo and the jewel had gotten what they'd wanted. Even if Inuyasha died earlier than anticipated and the Shikon dissapeared to Kami knows where.

He hadn't really minded the news, he'd been rather thankful actually. With his new lifespan he officially adopted Shippo as his son without the fear of dieing and leaving him alone growing up. On the whole it hadn't been a bad life. Shippo had taken his transformation from female to male well, even went as far as teasing him by calling him 'kaa-chan' instead of 'tou-san' in his more rebelious years, his kit was far to crafty for his own good despute being a father himself now. He served someone he respected, and liked as an older brother, even if he did want to strangle the older dog demon sometimes. He had even promised to care for his friend's descendants when he realized that he'd outlive them. From what he could recall the only living descendants were called the, Hinamori's? He'd have to check Sesshomaru's notes when he returned to the manor.

That was if his lord brother's many pups and his own grandkits didn't distract him when he returned, he thought with a small smile. How he adored his grandchildren and all his nieces and nephews.

All in all, life was pleasant for the 500 year old Priest.

"Taisho-san?" a voice asked.

Kage blinked, looking at the young female that had broken him of his thoughts, "Hn?"

"It's break, I-I thought I could show you around the campus, since you're a new student, and all," the female said, a light blush sprinkling her cheeks when his gorgeous blue eyed gaze didn't leave hers.

"Hn," he said, standing from his chair with a nod to the young woman's question. She smiled and guided him out of the classroom. Stupidly happy, not noticing the slightly predatory smirk on his handsome face.

All in all life was pleasant, and would get even more pleasant when he got Sesshomaru back for putting him back in the Hell called highschool.
