Nez: Hello and welcome to a Fish-chan/Nehszriah collaboration! We by no means own Inuyasha or any affiliated characters, blah, blah, blah... we just like to write fanfiction because we are über geeks.

Fish: -big watery eyes- Did you have to say that?

Nez: -frankly- Yes. 'Tis the rules.

Fish: -pouts- Baka rules.

Authors' Note: When the bold, italicized words say Nehszriah Mode, this means that the Nehszriah is writing. When they say Fish-chan Mode (Minor Nehszriah Editing), then it is Fish-chan's turn to write, with minor grammar and spelling corrections by the Nehszriah. Enjoy!

Once Upon A Dream

Nehszriah Mode

Nehszriah walked up the creaky stairs and into a dark room. The sixteen year old brunette seemed slightly apart from the dismal room dressed in her blue jeans, rusty-red long sleeved shirt with a tan and blue plaid shirt over it. She had been in the room before on a few occasions, but she seemed to stumble around blindly in order to find a light switch. After giving up on the light switch strategy, she cautiously whispered into the darkness for her friends.

"Carl... Fish..."

"BOO!"

Nehszriah jumped to find it was her two friends Carl and Fish. They were both older than Nehszriah by two years and looked quite different from each other. Carl was slightly rotund, dirty-blond and wore eyeglasses, while Fish was small and twig-like with coppery hair and platform sandals. Even with the sandals she was not taller than Nehszriah, but she still tried anyways. Nehszriah turned on the light to discover the two of them had been hiding right behind her. They both had hidden themselves in what was Carl's bedroom and decided to scare their friend.

"That wasn't nice!" Nehszriah growled. Fish gave a giggle of triumph and signaled the v-for-victory, making Nehszriah mutter obscenities under her breath.

"So?" Carl laughed. He went and sat down on his bed and turned on the television next to it. "Time for Inuyasha!"

"Yay!" Fish squealed. She hopped down onto the bed next to her boyfriend. "Come on Nez!"

"Alright, but I've got a chair," Nehszriah sighed. She had no idea to why she was over at Carl's house to begin with, until scenes from the anime "Inuyasha" graced the screen.

"Wouldn't it be cool to be in Inuyasha?" Fish sighed.

"Like be one of the characters? I call Inuyasha!" Carl said happily.

"You two are nutters," Nehszriah moaned.

"I am not nuts, I am Kagome!" Fish insisted.

"Both of you are c-r-a-z-y, crazy!"

"Now, now Sessho-maru," Carl said, trying his best not to laugh. "I know you are jealous of me, being less loved and a pedophile, but that is no reason to be sarcastic."

"Fluffy-sama is not a pedophile," Nehszriah grouched. She turned her head away and closed her eyes. She did not think that Carl's continuous joke was a very funny one. Sessho-maru was her favorite character from the anime and she did not like her friends teasing her about it.

Now Carl had put in a tape filled with episodes of Inuyasha he recorded from the television. He, Fish and Nehszriah watched it willingly, but after a while, all three began to fall asleep. Soon, each one was sleeping... that is, until something very odd happened.

"Nehszriah! Wake up!"

"Five more minutes Carl..."

"We need you to get up!"

"Fish..."

"NEHSZRIAH!"

Nehszriah sat upwards. Her vision was blurred from sleep, but she could hear her friends' voices clearly.

"What is it?" She went to rub her eyes, but only her right hand reached. Quickly, Nehszriah looked down to her left arm, but...

"My arm!" Nehszriah squeaked. She reached inside her kimono sleeve and felt her little stump of an arm. "Oh, my arm... my arm..." She curled up into a ball and rocked back and forth.

Then, something dawned on her: a kimono. She was wearing a white kimono with red patterning on it. There was grey stone armor and a yellow sash around her waist and two swords at her hip. In amazement, she ran her fingers through her hair.

Oh my God! My hair is silver! My hair is long and silver!

Nehszriah did not want to look up at her friends. It took all she could to do so. When she looked at Carl and Fish, there was not the small skinny girl and slightly rotund boy there that she knew, but Kagome and Inuyasha.

"Hello," the Kagome said with Fish's voice. Nehszriah jumped back.

"Kag... no... Fish? Huh?"

"Hello Big Brother," Inuyasha said with a spiteful version of Carl's voice.

Nehszriah looked down, not sure about what she was about to encounter. Carefully, she took off the top half of the kimono, letting it fall down around her waist. She gasped, for she was staring down at a nicely sculpted man's body, not her own thin and scrawny one. The response could be heard from miles away.

"OH MY GOD! I AM SEXY!"

"Umm, Nez," Kagome-Fish said, a slight bit embarrassed. "You are not sexy, you are Sessho-maru."

"Is there a difference?"

"Yes... but remember...?" Fish pointed to Nehszriah's left arm-stump.

"Gick!" Nehszriah waved the stump around wildly. "Meih! Me arm!" The new youkai jumped into a stance and pointed the stump at the Inu-Carl. "This is your fault!"

"Not at all," Inu-Carl laughed. Nehszriah glared at him.

"What's going on here?" Miroku asked. Kagome-Fish, Inu-Carl and Sessho-Nez all jumped. Miroku had come all the way from Kaede's village nearby, followed closely by Sango, who was ready to attack demons with her hiraikotsu.

"Miroku?" Inu-Carl asked.

"...or are you our Ken?" Sessho-Nez finished.

"Now why would he be that kid from school?" Inu-Carl asked.

"Dunno," Nehszriah said with a shrug of her bare shoulders.

"Kagome, what is up with their brains?" Sango asked.

"Oh, Carl and Nehszriah are always like this," Kagome-Fish laughed nervously.

"That is Inuyasha and his elder youkai brother Sessho-maru, not who you just said they were," Sango said, a bit afraid. "Are you feeling alright?"

"I feel fine," Kagome-Fish said.

"Stop telling me that I am not sexy!" the Sessho-Nez yelled at Inu-Carl.

"You are not sexy! Just a transgender freak of nature!"

"Look who's talking about freaks of nature hanyou-boy!"

"Not my fault Inuyasha is a hanyou!"

"Same with me and waking up like this!" the Sessho-Nez bellowed as it swung around the arm-stump. "THIS is not my fault!"

"Why don't you can it you baka fangirl! You are too busy squawking to realize that you are going through a pure fangirl fantasy! Enjoy yourself in your obsession's body!"

"Fluffy-sama is not my obsession!"

"Well, at least one of them!" Inu-Carl said as the Sessho-Nez began to break down.

"...but Slayers! Amelia! Zelgadis! Fanfictions!" it sobbed. Carl looked slightly confused as the Sessho-Nez began to sniffle as it slumped down into the grass in the small field. Sango and Miroku looked at each other with suspicions concerning the whole scene.

"What in the hell is going on here?"

"Your guess is as good as mine Monk."

Suddenly, there was a rustling in the bushes and out popped Sessho-maru's green frog-like servant Jaken and the young human girl Rin. They seemed to have come from a long distance away, as if they had run there all the way from Mount Hakurei.

"Mi Lord! What are you doing here?" Jaken panted. Sessho-Nez jumped into a stance and pointed the arm-stump at the poor creature.

"Jeezum crowe! You are Jaken! I can barely believe it!"

"Are feeling alright Sessho-maru-sama?" Rin asked, stepping cautiously up to the Sessho-Nez.

"Rin-chan!" the Sessho-Nez cried happily, scooping up Rin and giving her a big bear hug. The small child was slightly shocked at this display of affection at first, but then happily hugged back.

"Ha! Pedophile!" Inu-Carl yelled. Sessho-Nez went through a dangerous mental snap at that moment, putting down Rin and eyes glowing blood red.

"NOT A PEDOPHILE!"

"Don't deny it!"

"I can't deny what I'm not!"

"Carl, SIT!"

Inu-Carl did a sound head plant into the ground.

"OW! FISH!"

"Stop yelling at her!"

"That's not a 'her'!"

"That is our friend Nehszriah, even if she is in Sessho-maru's body!"

"...a sexy body at that too!" Sessho-Nez chimed in.

Sango, Miroku, Jaken and Rin could barely believe their ears. Not only did Inuyasha, Kagome and Sessho-maru have different voices than before, they were acting like complete lunatics.

"I think we need you to go lie down for a while Inuyasha," Miroku said as he led the Inu-Carl away.

"Same goes for you Kagome," Sango added, dragging off the Kagome-Fish.

"You had better take a rest too mi Lord," Jaken said to the Sessho-Nez as he started to walk in the opposite direction of the others.

"Where are you going Jaken?" Sessho-Nez asked in an almost childish tone.

"Wherever you decide to stop to clear your head mi Lord."

"Then come on!" Sessho-Nez said happily, following the others. Jaken and Rin followed their lord in a confused manner, but followed all the same.

Now it surely was a sight for the people of Kaede's village to see as everyone strolled into town. First was Inu-Carl being led by his hair at Miroku's mercy, then Sango and Kagome-Fish and finally, Sessho-Nez happily taking up the rear, kimono top still down, playing with the long silver hair upon its head and Jaken and Rin at its side.

"Oh my," Old Kaede whispered to herself as the troupe marched up to her hut.

"Kaede-sama," Miroku said. "We believe Inuyasha, his brother and Kagome might be under some type of spell. Help us correct them please."

"Why would you want to correct this?" Sessho-Nez asked, motioning with the arm-stump to its exposed upper half.

"Exactly why we need your help," Sango sighed.

"This is disturbing indeed," Kaede gasped. Yet before she could get them all inside, a demonic aura sped towards them all and suddenly stopped in front of the door to the hut. It was Koga the Wolf Demon Tribe leader, blocking the entrance.

"Stay away from my Kagome!" Inu-Carl snarled, getting into Koga's face.

"What do you mean?" Koga asked. "I don't even like Kagome."

"You don't?" everyone else seemed to say.

"Nope! I came to see my sister," Koga said, pointing at Sessho-Nez and smiling brightly.

"Ototo! Little Brother!" Sessho-Nez yelped, putting Koga in a headlock. Awkwardly, it took the arm-stump and tried to noogie Koga, failing horribly due to the lack of a fist on the stump.

Fish-chan Mode (Minor Nehszriah Editing)

Fish comes over.

"Zan?" she asks.

"Fish?" Koga asks back.

"Zan!" as Fish hugs Koga.

Sango, Miroku and Kaede stun at what looks like Kagome hugging Koga. After the hug Fish went to Carl seeing that he needed a hug, so Fish hugs him and holds his hand.

Jaken and Rin comes back from picking flowers for Nez.

"Here you go Lord Sessy!" Rin said, pleased with the bouquet.

"Thank you for all the pretty flowers," as she puts one in Rin's hair. "Can you please call me 'Nehszriah' though?"asked Nez as she hugs Rin. After Rin and Nez released each other, Rin noticed Carl holding Fish's hand.

"So you two are finally decided to stop arguing and mate?" Rin asked Carl.

"What! We are just dating. We are not going to 'mate' anytime soon," Carl stated.

Rin being confused with what Carl just told her, she turned to Nez.

"Oh, Fish and Carl are only seeing each other for a long period of time. This is dating," Nez explained to the little girl.

-in the background Kaede comes up to Sango with an idea-

"Sango," as she jumped and realized it was Kaede.

"Why don't you take the three diseased ones out to pick herbs. So I can find a cure for them. You might want the help of the little girl and the little demon that's with her," Kaede brought up to Sango as Carl was yelling at Nez.

"That's a good idea. Thanks Kaede."

"Don't mention it my child," Kaede said as Fish yelled at Carl and Nez to stop arguing with each other.

-hut next to Kaede's-

"Here's the tea my sweet," a guy said to his wife.

"Thanks Honey," the woman said, then all of a sudden they heard a loud 'thud'.

"What was that?" she asked.

"I don't have a clue," he said, as they continue to drink their tea.

-back at the hut-

Carl trying to pull himself up but Nez's foot was stopping that. Sango was telling everyone what was going to happen.

"I'm okay with that,"Fish said as she turned around. "Nez get your foot off of Carl's head," she yelled

Nez stood straight up and looked innocent. Carl finally got on to his feet and stayed by Fish as everyone (except Kaede) went out of the hut. Now the villagers were really wondering what's happening.

Some thought it was the end of the world.

Nehszriah Mode

"That's it!" Inu-Carl yelled. "I'm tired of you beating on me! We are going to have to duel!" He drew the Tetsusaiga and got into a fighting stance

"Now why would you want to do a silly thing like that?" Sessho-Nez smirked, striking a clearly female pose with its hand on its hip. The crowd of spectators sweatdropped at the mere sight, embarrassed for the unaware creature.

Goody, goody, Sango moaned to herself as she stepped between Inu-Carl and Sessho-Nez.

"Come on you guys," she said with authority. "We are going out."

"We? What do you mean by that?" Inu-Carl asked as Sango shoved him out of Kaede's yard, dragging along Sessho-Nez by its long hair. She ordered Koga, Jaken and Rin to come along and they obediently followed, not wanting to end up on the bad end of Sango's wrath.

More Authors' Notes That The Reader Can Probably Skip

Sessho-Nez the "It": Since Nehszriah is female and Sessho-sama a male, it is only right that Sessho-Nez is referred to as an "it" in order to leave the whole gender thing alone.

Amelia, Zelgadis and Slayers: The Nehszriah is absolutely in love with the anime Slayers and her favorite pairing happens to be the Amelia/Zelgadis one. Anyone would know this simply by looking at the Nehszriah's stories that she has written.

Koga: This is Nehszriah's younger brother Zanbato, incase anyone was wondering. He exists. -Zan parties in background-
