The six shard hunters sat around the burning flames of a fire, breaking the serene silence of night with idle chit chat. The day had been a long one, filled with rumors of new shards and fighting demons. The day's activities seemed to be wearing on kagome and she decided to call it a night. Standing up and stretching her sore muscles, Kagome bid goodnight to everybody and headed to her sleeping bag. Miroku decided to follow her example and stood up to find a good place to crash. Sango, Kirara and Inuyasha were the only ones left around the fire for Shippo had scampered off to sleep with Kagome.

"The fire's dying" Inuyasha's low voice broke the silence that had once again covered the camp. "I'm going to get more wood" he grunted out.

"I'll come with" Sango's more feminin voice added. She was replied with another grunt as Inuyasha stood and headed deeper into the surronding forest. Sango hurried to catch up after grabbing her boomarang. Inuyasha and Sango starting talking and suddenly got lost in friendly converstation. They strayed off any familiar path that was once created by the flattening of grass and ended up at an eerie looking cave. All talk suddenly ceased as a chill ran down both their spines. Their eyes became glazed over and suddenly, they were compelled to continue and travel into the cave. With slow strides, they entered the cave.

A short, plump-looking demon watched with glowing red eyes as the human and half-demon entered the cave. He began to cackle manically, that is, until he choked over his own spit. The demon coughed to cover his mess up and brushed invisible dust off his shoulders to regain some of his lost dignity. He cleared his throat as an almost invisible barrier sealed the exit of the cave. Sango and Inuyash continued to walk until the little demon stepped into their path. A fog seemed to clear from Sango and Inuyasha's vision and suddenly, they were very aware of their surrondings. "Lower beings" the half pig, half frog looking demon began, "bow down the the almighty Pigzollo!!!" He finished his speech with more crazed laughter. Inuyasha quirked an eyebrow before throwing his head back and outright laughing his head off.

"What are you? A half pig, half frog!" Inuyasha taunted with barely controled laughter.

"That's half dolphin, half pigme shrew to you, buster!" the little demon yelled, outraged. His small webbed fingers clenched into a tight fist as his red eyes narrowed in dislike. "I am the ansestor of royalty, you should be bowing down to me you useless-" the demon's rants were cut short by the sudden bouts of laughter emitting from Sango. Her face was a deep red colour from trying to hold in her laughter.

The demon suddenly lost all patience that he once had and charged Inuyasha with…his bare webbed hands. Inuyasha lifted the demon by the coller and connected his fist with the demon's face. The demon began to babble in absolute furry before his head adorned another beautiful bump. "I warned you, you-you DOG!" the demon sputtered angrily before he began to glow and the cave was covered in a dark purple hue. Inuyasha and Sango instantly dropped to the floor, unconcious. The last thing they heard was mad cackling.

Birds twittered as sunlight poured into the once dark cave. "Inuyasha!….Sango! Where are you?" the feminin voice of Kagome echoed throughout the forest. Inuyasha groaned and awoke with a throbing pain in his head. "What the hell happened?" he whispered hoarsly. His eyes grew wide at the feminin tone of his voice. "Hello?" he tried again, but he spoke with the same high-pitched voice. "Inuyasha?" a male voice said beside him. Wait…that was HIS male voice.

"Sango?" he replied uncertainly. He sat up only to stare directly at….himself. "WHAT THE HELL??!!" he yelled in alarm.

"That demon-thing….he made us switch bodies…" Sango answered his silent question.

"Oh, that's just peachy!" Inuyasha yelled sarcastically. "Should we tell the others?" Inuyasha asked with a mix of furry and uncertainety.

"hmm…maybe we better not…what would the others think?! Being beaten by…that…THING!" Sango listened to his agreement with other ideas running through her head. This could prove to be the perfect chance to help get Inuyasha and Kagome get together! ...bwahahahaha...er...cough...

"Inuyasha!!!!!!!" the voice of Kagome seemed to draw nearer as footsteps could be heard.

"Kagome, I'm here!" Inuyasha yelled in a high squeaky voice.

"I-I-Inuyasha???" Kagome questioned outside the cave. "Was that you?" Inuyasha realising his mistake, tried to fix it.

"No, it's Sango…er…but Inuyasha is here too!" Inuyasha said while getting up and following Sango out of the cave. They were greeted by the relieved faces of the other shard hunters. Suddenly Kagome's face became dark.

"What on earth were you thinking!!! Leaving the campsite and not coming back? I was worried to death! What happened???" Kagome began to rant.

"Well you see…" Sango began, "We ran into a demon who trapped us in that cave and-"

"A demon who trapped you in the cave you two so easily just walked out of? WHO DO YOU TAKE ME FOR INUYASHA? SIT BOY!" Kagome yelled in fustration. Sango was suddenly slammed into the ground as Inuyasha's eyes sparkled with relief. Kagome walked up to Inuyasha and linked her elbow in his. A bright blush started to paint his cheeks so he looked away

"Sango, what really happened?" she asked kindly. Inuyasha combed his mind for an excuse.

"Well you see…there was this giant, um…turtle pig thing….that was really giant…and it was a turtle…with pig features….and it…was huge! And pig-like….with a turtle shell…" Inuyasha began.

"Yea…I get it…a giant pirtle…" Kagome pushed.

"A pirtle?" Inuyasha questioned.

"Pig tutle" Kagome clarified.

"Yes…and it was giant! But anyways…so…there it was, a giant pirtle! And I grabbed my sword-"

"Sword?" Kagome interrupted suspiciously.

"Yes…the one that I carry with me…because my boomarang…um, lost itself…" Inuyasha clarified.

"Ah…yes…untrusty boomarangs! Always losing themselves!" Kagome added in.

Inuyasha glanced at her quizzically before continueing, "YeswellIhititandithitmeandBAMiwokeupandthereyouweresocanwekeepmovingbeforepirtlestikesagain?" Inuaysha finished in a rushed slur.

"Um…maybe you're a little worn out…maybe you should lie down…" Kagome suggested after not catching a word Inuyasha said.

"Naw! Can't keep them shards waiting!" Inuyasha replied with a grin.

"Since when did you care about shards?" Kagome asked suspiciously.

"Um…did I say shards…I meant cards! Let's play cards!" Inuyasha corrected. And that's how the shard hunters found themselves playing cards the whole afternoon.

Kagome decided that spending most of the day out in the sweltering sun would be enough to make a girl dirty, so she came up with a brilliant plan! "Hey Sango! Wanna go have a bath?" she questioned.

"Sure!" a deep male voice replied. Kagome squeaked in surprise, realising that voice belonged to Inuyasha. A large blush envelopped her face as Sango realised her mistake. "Er…Just kidding!" Sango said nervously.

"Inuyasha, SIT BOY!" Kagome yelled in embarrasement. Kagome turned to face Sango to repeat her question but was met with another strange sight. Miroku, like usual went to grope Sango, but Sango was anything but usual.

"EWWWWWWWWWWWW…..GROSSS! YUCK! PERVERT! EW! SCARD FOR LIFE!" Sango began to run in circles before screaming in disgust. Suddenly she stopped and slugged Miroku right across the jaw. Miroku fell unconcious immediately.

"Sango!?" Kagome half yelled half laughed in complete shock. Inuyasha awaited the sit but it didn't come. Instead Kagome laughed, "Where on earth did you learn how to punch like that! You…you punch like a guy!" Inuyasha could have almost rolled his eyes but instead grinned with satisfaction. "So, wanna go have a bath?" Kagome asked again. Inuyasha's smile of satisfaction was wipped clean off his face.

"Er…um…heehee…you see I would but…" Inuyasha began.

"But…?" Kagome pushed. "I thought you loved baths…"

"I DO!" Inuyasha shouted nervously.

"Sango?" Kagome asked with concern.

"She does love baths, but she promised to train with me this afternoon, right Sango?" Sango butt in, just in the knick of time.

"Ya!" Inuyasha said relieved.

"Okay…well then I'll go take my bath alone…you two enjoy" Kagome began while gathering her batheing supplies. "And Sango, maybe you should lie down, I think the heat is taking its toll" Kagome finished with a joking air.

"Will do wench," Inuyasha replied before realising his mistake. "wench….wench will you be back from your bath?" he covered up poorly. Kagome simply stared in shock.

"What?" Kagome asked dumbfounded.

"I said, when will you get back from your bath!" Inuyasha answered.

"The heat must be getting to me…" Kagome mumbled to herself, "Oh um, maybe in half an hour…have fun training!" Kagome smiled joyfully before bounding off into the woods with her towel dangling over her shoulders.

"That was close!" Sango said with relief. Inuyasha just nodded his head before loud groaning was heard from the ground. Miroku jumped to his feet and dusted his robes before mumbling to himself. "Maybe you hit him a little too hard…" Sango whispered to Inuyasha in a joking manner yet she was worried. "How ya doing Mir-Monk?" Sango asked and attempted to be 'Inuyasha-ish'.

"Great! Although, if my dear Sango would kiss the booboos, it would feel-" Mirroku started but was interupted.

"Hell no!" Inuyasha rudely injected before attempting to jump into a tree to sulk. Key word: attempting. He conveniantly forgot that he wasn't a half-demon anymore and ended up looking like he was doing an odd version of the bunny hop. "What the-Oh bloody hell!" Inuyasha yelled in fustration.

"Why, my dear Sango, such a fowl mouth you've aquired this morning! You sound just like Inuyasha!" Mirroku joked. Inuyasha and Sango stared at him like he was crazy. crickets "What? Did I miss something…?" Mirroku asked quizzically.

"AHAHAHA!" Sango laughed nervously, "miss something, what's there to miss…?" Sango flushed at her loud, obviously fake laugh.

"Inuyasha, are you…blushing?" Mirroku asked before laughing.

"I don't blush, asshole!" Inuyasha replied. Mirroku stopped laughing.

"Sango…I wasn't talking about you…geese…you do sound like Inuyasha!" Mirroku said while rubbing the back of his head in confusion.

"AHAHAHAHAHA!" it was Inuyasha's turn to laugh nervously. Mirroku stared at him before backing away slowly.

"What's that Kagome? Okay, I'll be right there!" Mirroku excused himself lamely before running into the woods.

"Kagome didn't call him…" Sango said in confusion. Silence passed between the two before Inuyasha realised something.

"The fucking pervert! Kagome's taking a bath! I'm going to wring his bloody neck!!!!"

-------In Australia----------

"Did you hear somethin' mate?" a young, tanned man asked his friend.

"Sounded like an upset shella! By crockie, I wouldn't want to be at the end of that anger!" the other man replied. They laughed at their outrageous conclusion.

-----Back with Inuyasha and Sango-------

Inuyasha took a brief pause to somewhat control his anger before dashing into the woods. Sango stared. On one hand, Miroku deserves it. On the other hand…Inuyasha is going to kill him. Oh no! MIROKU! Sango thought in panic before sprinting after Inuyasha. Her sense of smell and speed had really increased and so that makes it much easier to track and catch up to someone. Too bad there are millions of smells in a forest!!!!
