Chapter 1- When It All Hits The Fan

Kagome yawned as she woke up from a good night's sleep. She sat up straight and surveyed her surroundings. 'That's funny,' she thought, 'I don't remember falling asleep against a tree.'

Shrugging it off, she discovered that her big yellow backpack was missing. 'Inuyasha must have taken it. Right now, he's probably rifling through it for ramen.'

Kagome sweatdropped, for she was certain that Inuyasha would make a colossal mess. She sighed and stood up. It seemed she would have to wear her pajamas until she could find Inuyasha and get her clothes. She knew that her period would be starting soon, which explained why she woke up with a headache. 'But why do my pants feel a little tight? I don't feel bloated…'

All of a sudden, she felt compelled to look down. The fact she was wearing boots and that her hand was pale and clawed didn't seem important when she saw the tenting the front of her pants. (A/N rhetorical question: do demons get 'morning wood'?) There was a spring only a few yards away. She rushed over and splashed water in her face, trying to wake herself up from what she thought was a bad dream. She looked down into the water. When the ripples cleared, the reflection staring back at her was not her own. It was a familiar, devastatingly handsome male face, framed by silver hair. 'Stripes, crescent moon, golden eyes… OH CRAP!!'

Those were the last thoughts to go through Kagome's mind before her eyes rolled back into her head and she fell to the ground in a dead faint.

Not far away, Sesshomaru was also waking up to a nasty headache. The great demon turned away from the bright morning light and massaged his aching temples. His first thought upon waking up was 'I should never have opened that twelfth bottle of sake.'

(A/N: You guessed correctly. Our favorite sexy demon lord has a hangover. Bad Sesshy! I'm just guessing, but it probably would take a lot of alcohol to get Sesshomaru wasted.)

If the indignity of a hangover wasn't bad enough, the loud, obnoxious shout of "Oi, wench! Where's breakfast?" was torture to his already pounding headache. Irritated beyond words, Sesshomaru turned around to face his despised half-brother. Normally he would have showed more restraint, but he was busy dealing with a massive headache, and his lower abdomen felt as if he was receiving a continuous kick to the groin. Right now, he was just too pissed to put up with Inuyasha, or even wonder how he came to be in the company of the fool. He growled irritably at the whelp, snapped "Silence, half-breed!" and stormed away.

"What the hell is wrong with Kagome?" Inuyasha snorted

Ever the peacemaker, Miroku reassured his friend. "Calm down, Inuyasha! It is likely that Lady Kagome's behavior is the result of her 'little friend's' impending visit."

"You mean Myoga?" asked a perplexed Inuyasha.

Slightly irked, Miroku tried once again to explain. "I am referring to the little friend that visits her once a month."

"You mean that Hojo guy?"

"No," the now clearly annoyed monk replied, "I mean the little friend that makes staying in her company difficult for you."

"Aw, crap! Is it the night of the new moon already?"

One lost temper and several staff-shaped concussions later...

"So the new moon isn't tonight," said Inuyasha, "Hmm... Hey, Miroku, was my flea bath the little friend you were talking about?"

Once more, the monk's staff became acquainted with the dog boy's cranium. The hapless half-demon attempted to seek aid from Sango. "SANGO! Who the hell is the little friend of Kagome's that Miroku is talking about?"

The demon slayer looked up from her game of go-fish with Shippo and replied, "She's on her period, you moron."

Inuyasha turned red at the mention of Kagome's feminine cycling and muttered, "Keh. Whatever."

Sesshomaru walked through the woods, trying to ignore the pounding between his ears. 'Damn them,' he thought to himself, 'damn that foolish half-breed, damn the formal invitations, damn the partying, damn the sake, and damn this blasted hangover!'

The pissed-off demon lord continued toward his destination. It wasn't long before he could hear the trickling of a nearby spring. As he exited the forest, he stopped in his tracks when he saw what was on the other side of the stream.

Kagome regained consciousness. 'That's funny,' she thought, 'I had the strangest dream that I had somehow turned into Sesshomaru!'

The girl stood up and saw someone approaching from the treeline. A cloud moved, causing the sunlight to land directly on her face. Kagome winced, clenching her eyes shut. She massaged her temples and, when the pounding subsided, she opened her eyes and was faced with the shock of her life. Her eyes widened and her mouth fell open when she saw who was standing on the other side of the stream. 'I'f I'm over here... THEN WHO THE HELL IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREAM?!'

Sesshomaru was unable to contain his shock. He could see himself standing on the other side of the stream! Unwittingly, he placed a hand over his pounding heart. To his surprise and horror, what his palm met wasn't his armor-clad torso, but wat was undeniably a pair of breasts. He looked down at his reflection and, instead of seeing his own glorious visage, the sight that met him made his eyes widen and his jaw drop. 'Inuyasha's wench?!'

The two of them looked back up and met one-another's eyes. Although neither of them had anyway of knowing what the other was thinking, the thought that went through both minds at that instant was the same. 'Oh shit.'

Well, that was wrong on many levels. Fortunately for those of you who were amused by this, the Authoress is already insane. Next time- Kagome and Sesshomaru have to put their heads together to figure their problem out, Inu throws a tantrum when Shippo suggests a remedy for the situation, and just where the hell are Rin and Jaken?!
