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

Inuyasha stood furious mumbling, "I hate life," repeatedly. Despite no one having said much since Koji traipsed off, Inuyasha knew everyone was still thinking about it. I mean, he himself couldn't get that stupid confession out of his brain. He sure has balls. Inuyasha mentally swore.

Eriko just couldn't stop laughing. That was the funniest thing I have ever seen happen to the poor guy.

Miroku himself was chuckling but at Koji not Inuyasha. Truly, a man after my own heart.

Hiromi, however, was worried about another rival coming into play. I must defeat Koji at all costs and make Inuyasha fall in love with ME!

Kagome was also worried but not exactly for the same reason as Hiromi. Poor Inuyasha, he probably has no idea what to do with this Koji character! Maybe I should try and cheer him up. Kagome glanced down at her hands and changed her mind. Or maybe not...what if I electrocute him again? Or set him aflame? Or worse? Can I do worse?!

Sango looked between the now frantic Kagome and the cursing Inuyasha and sighed. What an odd couple they would make.

Izayoi was humming a happy song. Ooo...already I can tell that traveling all together was a super idea!

Inuyasha whipped around to Eriko. "Would you stop laughing? It's NOT funny!"

"Hell yeah, it is!" Eriko managed between giggles, "A BOY just confessed to you."

"ARGH! IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP I WILL DISMEMBER YOU AND DEVOUR YOUR ENTRAILS, UNDERSTAND?" Inuyasha cried, "OR WAS THAT TOO COMPLEX FOR YOU?"

Eriko tried to quiet her laughter, wiping a tear from her eye, "I guess that was what you deserve for tricking us like that."

Inuyasha clenched his fists and tried his best not to strangle Eriko.

Finally her laughter subsided and she let out a sigh, "Well, we gotta go report your conditions to Mama."

"YES!" Inuyasha exclaimed, "You're leaving!"

Hiromi snapped out of her daze. "Wait, what?"

"We have to go Hiromi," Eriko sighed, grabbing her sister's arm.

"No, no we don't," Hiromi pleaded.

Eriko rolled her eyes. "Uh, yeah, we do."

"NO! I DON'T WANNA! LEMME STAY WITH INUYASHA!" Hiromi clutched Inuyasha suddenly, "YOU CAN GO!"

Eriko shook her head. I honestly often wonder who the big sister is. "As easy as that sounds, Inuyasha will kill me if I do and Mama wants both of us back home safe and sound."

"B-BUT WHAT IF I COME BACK AND HE'S WITH KOJI?!" Hiromi cried, causing Inuyasha to lose his breakfast.

"THAT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN! I LIKE GIRLS GODDAMMIT AND NOTHING THAT IDIOT IS EVER GONNA DO WILL CHANGE THAT!" Inuyasha cried.

"That's true, Hiromi," Eriko managed between chuckles, "You don't have to worry about Koji stealing Inuyasha."

Hiromi looked between Inuyasha and Eriko, "You sure?"

"Positive," Inuyasha seethed and Eriko laughed.

Hiromi dropped Inuyasha and beamed, "Okay then!"

Eriko laughed as Inuyasha got himself off from the ground.

"Oh wait!" Hiromi gasped like a four year old. "Your presents!"

"My presents?" Inuyasha wondered.

Hiromi pulled him close and kissed him on the cheek as she dropped something in his hands. "One from me and one from Mama."

Eriko rolled her eyes, "C'mon Hiromi."

"Bye bye! Inuyasha! Kagome! Sango! Miroku! Oba-chan!" Hiromi's voice began to fade away as she and her sister went farther and farther into the distance.

Inuyasha looked down into his hands. "WTF! ARGH!" He threw several small packets onto the ground. "SAKURA, I DON'T FREAKING NEED THESE! YOU STUPID-" (a/n: wondering what the packets are? Go back to chapter six and remember this is a gift from Sakura.)

"Inuyasha, don't talk about my best friend that way!" Izayoi cried, cutting off Inuyasha.

"Why on earth would you be best friends with someone who gives your teen aged son THESE kinds of presents," he gestured dramatically at the scattered little packets.

Izayoi sighed, "Um...she's just worried about you and wants you to be safe?"

"There's no need for the worry, Mom, and you know that," Inuyasha snapped, "She's practically encouraging it Mom."

Izayoi sighed, "I guess so but she doesn't mean to-"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "I beg to differ."

"Um," Kagome interjected, "I'm a little hungry, shall we...um stop by at the village Koji mentioned?"

Inuyasha shivered, "Never say that name in front of me ever again."

Izayoi smiled, "Kagome, I'm feeling a bit famished myself, I think we should. Anyone disagree?" Izayoi looked directly at her son.

"No..." he groaned, shortly before his stomach did.

Izayoi laughed as her son blushed, "You are just too cute."

Inuyasha gritted his teeth, "Let's just get to the damn village already."

Izayoi smiled as the group all walked a little faster to catch up with Inuyasha.

Just before the reached the village, Inuyasha stop and stared up at the sky.

"What is it?" Kagome groaned.

"One," Inuyasha replied not looking down, "I smell someone familiar. Two, it's a little easier to get food when I'm" hair goes black, "Like this." He turned around to face the group human and female. "As much as it bothers me to do this after today and the day before, for simplicity's sake, I'm just gonna do this."

The rest of the gang stared at Inuyasha.

"Shut up," s/he snapped.

They all shrugged while Izayoi chuckled and entered the village.

As Inuyasha took a quick look around, s/he froze and everyone bumped into her.

"What is it, hon-" Izayoi's voice trailed off, "Um...let's just go to the next village." Izayoi turned around.

"What is it?" Kagome seethed, starving, "What's wrong?"

"Yes," Miroku added, "What ever could be wrong with this place?"

"Is this where you got arrested?" Sango wondered.

Izayoi sighed, "No, it's-"

"Inuyasha?" a female voice called from a fruit stand.

Inuyasha's shoulders slumped.


Hmm...what is it about this village? And who is that girl and who does she recognize Inuyasha in human girl form?

Can any of you guess? (probably)
