Here it is! My post-Just A Kiss fanfic! Enjoy!

Note: The setting of this story is one of my own. A cross between Feudal Japan, Middle Ages and snippets of the present. You'll get it once you read it.

Makeshift Misfits

"What? What is it this time? Can't you see I'm venting!" he was acting really weird, even for people who had known him for less than a day, they knew that that was uncharcteristic of Inuyasha.

"You're…a girl," Miroku answered bluntly, "With breasts and everything."

Inuyasha scowled, "What do breasts have to do with anything." His (her?) voice sounded like readied daggers.

"Nothing…it's just…" Miroku knew that saying what he was about to say was not a good idea, "I just…noticed that."

"Pervert!" the (three?) girls cried and slapped him upside his head as Izayoi merely shook her head.

"I'm sorry if I have eyes," Miroku grumbled.

"So am I," Inuyasha retorted. But this moment was very surreal, he made a very pretty girl, that's for sure. He had long, beautiful, black hair just like his mom and dark chocolate eyes. And he was curvacious to say the least.

Izayoi giggled, "Well this is odd, I've never seen my 'son' like this during the day."

"Neither has your son," Inuyasha glared.

Izayoi turned to the others apologetically, "Female Inuyasha is a bit moody and vulnerable. She's…well hard to handle because she's easily offended and has an explosive temper. But she's also easily wounded…emotionally and is prone to crying. Even so, she can quickly get irritated. She's…a…a more open Inuyasha, essentially."

"Okay," the three nodded, understanding the gist of what Izayoi was saying.

"Mom! Don't tell people stuff like that!" Inuyasha screamed, "I sound so…so…weak! I'm not weak! I mean, my life may be in shambles…I've had my heart broken by the woman I love, I've had my mom confined into a necklace and I've been arrested…plus I'm cursed to switch genders from time to time and I'm destined to always be underestimated and discriminated against because I'm half-demon." S/he was almost crying. (I'm going to use that pronoun for him until he's a guy again.)

"I warned you, she's prone to crying," Izayoi replied and went to cradle her…child. "It's okay honey."

"No, it's not!" Inuyasha wailed, "Nothing about me ever is! That's why Kikyo…" her/his eyes shut as Izayoi began humming a lullaby.

"Nevermind that," she wiped his bangs away and placed him on the ground, "He might be back to normal once he wakes up."

"That was…odd," Kagome commented. "Very odd."

"Everything about us often is," Izayoi grinned, "I need to go back into the necklace, I'm a bit drowsy myself." She morphed into a red light and returned to the ruby around his neck.

"That was odder," Sango replied, "I don't think I've ever met anyone like those two."

Miroku added, "I don't think you ever will."

Kagome nodded in agreement, those two made an odd pair. Inuyasha by himself was odd but together with his mom... Kagome didn't want to even think about it anymore. All that consumed her thoughts was his sad eyes.

Inuyasha woke up and Izayoi was right, he was back to normal. He yawned, "Sorry about that, the transforming thing, that's never happened before actually. Usually it only happens on the night of the new moon."

"Maybe the spell is malfunctioning?" Sango wondered.

"Maybe it isn't," Kagome replied cheerfully, remembering, 'Everything in my life goes wrong!'

"Chances are, Inuyasha has some how somwhat gained more control over the spell," Miroku answered, matter-of-factly.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "Keh, I don't cares so long as it never happens again."

"I guess you hate 'venting'," Miroku cracked.

"Maybe you hate living?" Inuyasha warned.

Miroku held up his hands apologetically, trying to mollify the now peeved hanyou. "I was only joking."

"I wasn't, monk," Inuyasha responded.

Miroku rolled his eyes, I'm pretty sure being a girl has nothing to do with him being easily irritated. Then Miroku just realized something, "Why are we all in one cell?"

"Huh? What the hell do you mean by 'why are we all in one cell?' " Sango replied.

"Well, usually males and females are jailed seperately, why are we all in one cell? I can understand why Inuyasha could be in either, but what about the rest of us?" Miroku ignored the hanyou's growling.

Sango shrugged, "Maybe this godforsaken kingdom can't afford to split men and women up because they're to busy spending the money on objectifying females."

The other three rolled their eyes at Sango's blatant bitterness at the government for 'opressing her ideals'.

Miroku responded, "Sango's probably somewhat correct…somewhat."

They sat in silence for a few minutes, the four thinking different thoughts. Inuyasha- of his mother and Kikyo, resulting in the flickering of his eyes and hair; Sango- of how this ruthless, sexist society is unfit for success; Miroku- of how cool it would be to see girl Inuyasha, Sango and Kagome all naked; and Kagome of how pretty outside it was and how she wishes she could be at home.

"Hello prisoners!" a female voice from beyond the cell bars cried out.

"Great another girl," Miroku drooled without thinking.

"Pervert!" Sango and Kagome cried in unison and slapped on either cheek.

Inuyasha continued looking out the window, apathetic, his eyes fixated on brown for the time being.

"I'm Princess Hide," she smiled, she had long blonde hair and captivating blue eyes. She had Miroku spellbound.

"Hi ya, Princess Hide," Miroku's voice was uncharacteristicly…possessed sounding.

"What do you want?" Sango barked.

Kagome smiled apologetically, "Sorry for her rudeness, princess."

Princess Hide grinned, "No need, it was a valid question. I'm here to let you guys all go."

Inuyasha's eyes went gold for a moment and he looked at the Princess. His heart pounded a little faster and he felt himself willing to do anything for this beauty. What happened the last time you felt this way? A voice echoed and Inuyasha's eyes went chocolate. Suddenly that 'she's so beautiful I'd do anything for her' feeling vanished as though it was never there. When he looked at her through his female eyes, he saw her just as a women…that meant there was something up with this princess. When he looked at Kikyo, even as a girl, his love for her never faded.

"Oh really?" Sango sounded bored.

Princess Hide grinned, "Of course, I have a proposition for you…"

She's up to something and just so you know Hide means excellent, superior. That's why I picked that name for her, so be warned.

Well here's the thank you's from last chapter!
