AN: *cough* Put two crazy people together and insanity ensues. If this
story doesn't prove that, then I don't know what would.
Ghoul King: Speaking of crazy people..
Lei: Yeah well, when has Inuyasha not opened his mouth and inserted his foot?
Tori: Yes! Pity Inuyasha! He has to deal with female hormones!
Insomni: Long live fluffy comedy. Best type of movies anywhere, and great fanfics too.
Cat: Actually, it was not only funny, but clich?d as well. Oh well! Bet you weren't expecting the 'demon in the sac' comment at least!
Tsukikage: Actually, there WAS no point to Ryoga, minus pointless comedy. And as for the name and stuff, just for my own laughter. But actually, the DID go to the ice cream store at night. Sorry to confuse you with that! -_- But as new to IY as I am, how could I make a mistake like that? I mean, 'Mystery of the Black Haired Inuyasha' episode made me go off the walls. I could watch it all day, just for the cool looking hair and his pretty red eyes. And yes, I am simply referring to that 5 second shot where he transforms.
Real-Rosie: Maybe you should just not hold your breath anymore, love. How long as it been since we last updated?
SunStar: You can slow down reading you know. ^_^ This fic's not going anywhere. Then again, it's a pretty confusing story to begin with. I mean, you have no idea how many times Em and I screwed up referring to their bodies and stuff. it's more confusing than, well, Ranma.
Inu/Kag Fan: I write fluff. She writes comedy. Ours is a give and take relationship, so bear with us when it's something you don't like, okay? ^_^
Of Memories Past: This is probably true. We are crazy, after all.
Dragon: Riddle? *innocent look* What riddle? You realize, of course, that nothing is ever THAT easy in the IY world, right?
Mara Roberts: How could we leave it there? And yes, koi is a type of fish, but (and I can't speak Japanese other than the typical otaku's use of 'I love you', and 'I'll kill you', as well as various insults) a lot of people use it to refer to lovers (I think because of 'koibito', if I recall correctly. Again, I can't actually speak Japanese!) So hence the fish joke,
Thanks for all the great reviews! It's thanks to all of you that Emmie and I can boast we have over a hundred reviews for our IY fic! ^_^ We hope that you guys enjoy this chapter just as much as we had fun writing it! (7 hour time differences make for very sleepy writers, and sleepy writer make for very odd posts.) Enjoy!
"HA!" Inuyasha laughed, pointing at Kagome. "You landed on me! I have both of these properties, and I don't have any houses on them, so the amount if doubled. Seventy-dollars Kagome!"
Her bottom lip trembled as the sun rose, and her hair became snow white again. Having fangs made the pout look rather foolish. She hugged her money tighter. How the heck had Inuyasha managed it all? He had never played Monopoly before: she should have won!
What did she own? Sussex drive. That was it. Well, she owned B&O Railroad too, but after landing on Water Works she had to mortgage it. 'Not only did she have only two properties, they had to be the ones with the worst names on the board!' Inuyasha thought. Okay, so he was being mean. But he was winning! 'You aren't that bad yourself. When you're acting nice of course.' Her words rang in his head and he sighed. "Okay, fine then, I'll let you stay on my property for free, seeing as how you're about to pass 'go' and then I can take two hundred from you when you land on another one of my properties.'
"Why when I try to explain simple things to you do you not get it and yet I read to you the instruction book... You understand fully? This is MONOPOLY! No one is suppose to understand it and yet..." Kagome let out a loud 'Feh' and twisted about, folding her arms over her chest Kagome found herself staring at legs, looking up she smiled sheepishly. "Morning Mama."
Her mother stared at them. It was six AM and they were playing Monopoly? She noticed the bags under their eyes. "Couldn't you two go to sleep or something?"
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "She said that she wouldn't let the body of a male get in her bed, whether it was her mind inside it or not. And she wouldn't let me take the bed because she said my mind would ruin it." He turned to look at Kagome. "So does that mean that letting you land on my stuff without paying first is a no?"
"Plus, I had ice-cream. Inuyasha's body is seriously not use to sugar. It's still on a sugar buzz. Makes you wonder how coke and other artificial sugar supplements have effected the youth of this time -No, Inuyasha, you can't have any, at least, not when I am in your body. Which hopefully won't happen again." Kagome said thoughtfully and Inuyasha's last question registering in her mind she sighed and spun around to face him. "Do you know what a megalomaniac is, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked slowly, glaring at Boyu who just showed up and simply RAN over to Inuyasha. Sure, it was Kagome's body, but the cat only did that with Inuyasha. Damn cat. "How does he know?!"
Shaking her head, Kagome's mother tried not to laugh. Sometimes those two were just too much.
Inuyasha let the cat climb in his lap and started to pet the already purring creature. "I haven't clue. Sometimes animals can just tell. On the other hand, maybe your cat can just tell that I'm a good guy and wouldn't hurt him." He wondered if Kagome caught his meaning.
Kagome glared at him, her doggy appendages wiggling a bit as she sat there glaring. "That. Is debatable. See, where I'm sitting from, it just looks like he is a silly kitty who thinks you are going to feed him. I mean, look how fat he is! Of course he expects food! Cats don't love. See? Dogs, they love and are loyal, cats? They love you when you have food. So he just thinks, I, since you are in MY body, have food. Simple. So. Yeah." Kagome ended the stupid explanation. Damn cat and doggy boy in a girl's body.
HER body.
Much to his surprise, he laughed. "Kagome, if food were the only explanation between a cat and a dog, my name would be, say, Nekoyasha or something," he said, thinking of how much he loved the Ramen she brought him. Staring at the Monopoly board, he scratched his head and tried to think of how the game could go on longer. "Screw money. I have enough of it. I'll let you stay in Park Place if you tell me who this Hojo is that your friends were talking about." What Inuyasha really wanted to know was if his body actually looked better than this Hojo's. "Or do you just feel like packing it up?"
Kagome looked down at the board game and scooped up the dice. "Packing up sounds good." She said in an embarrassed hurry throwing Boyu a glare. 'What a betraying cat.' Kagome thought when Boyu's purrs and deep meows twitched at her ears.
Shrugging, he put the money back in the banker's stall. Inuyasha wondered when he should tell Kagome that he had been sneaking 500 dollar bills? 'Not for awhile.' And then she slammed the board closed. 'Not for a very long while.' Instead he asked her when she wanted to be leaving.
Kagome looked down at her watch. "Well, I can't go to school." Kagome sighed mournfully, she could just see all of her exams going down the drain. "I suppose after breakfast?"
"What are we having for breakfast?" Inuyasha's stomach growled as he put the lid on the box and put it with all the other games. "Can we have ramen for breakfast?"
Kagome glared at him. She was going to have to have a diet once they were back in their rightful bodies. "I don't know, we'd have to ask mama." Kagome said then pulled the slip of paper on which she wrote the riddle out of Inuyasha's pants and handed it to him. "Are we sure horny-piggy was telling the truth?" Kagome said then thought about it. "What if you were to sit in the bath and I were to jump in?" Kagome asked then shook her head. "Never mind, it happened already. Though I doubt Souta's pushing me in, would count as me jumping in."
He thought about the riddle a second. "Well, he was pretty drunk. What if he missed a word or two?" And then Inuyasha was struck by a horrible thought that made him want to stalk down the pig and beat him until he saw stars. "What if there was more to it than that??"
Kagome's face paled almost to the color of Inuyasha's white hair. "WHAT?!" Kagome yelled and got hit in the back of her head by a sac.
Her grandfather was standing in the doorway. "It's lizard nails ground up with Oni teeth! Both of you eat them and chant how you want to return to your own bodies!" He called to them and stubbornly stood there waiting.
"I don't think so," he said, helping Kagome back up. Inuyasha tried not to shudder at the idea of eating lizard nails and oni teeth. "Well, like I said, he was pretty intoxicated. What if we're missing something?"
"Well... I mean, what could it be?" Kagome asked softly looking at the riddle. "It looks pretty... Done. Doesn't it?" Kagome asked handing Boyu the bag of treats. The cat went about eating it gladly then running away with the bag in its mouth when Grandpa raced after him screaming.
Inuyasha never remembered liking Kagome's pet more. He went to look over her shoulder, remember she was in his body, and had to be content with peering around her arm instead. "How am I supposed to know? I'm no poet!" He sighed. "I guess we can always hope that Kaede found something."
Kagome nodded and got up. Her shoulder hitting Inuyasha's chin. Whirling around, Kagome's knee accidentally hit his nose and as she fell to the floor to help him, she by accident slapped him. "Inuyasha! Stop hurting my body!" Kagome yelled angry that he was so close and underfoot. But more so, worried that there might be bruises left.
"I can't wait to be a male again," he groaned. Did that sound as wrong in Kagome's voice as he thought it did? Oh, more than likely! The only thing keeping him from being even more complaining was the satisfaction he got from knowing that Kagome would be the one to have to live with the dull ache of a throbbing nose or a split lip after all of this was done.
Just at that moment, the doorbell rang. Kagome went to answer it, but Inuyasha stopped her. "I don't even think so. I don't want strangers to start pulling my ears."
Kagome glared at him and pulled him back roughly. "Mama!" Kagome shouted and pushed Inuyasha into the living-room, pulling the door shut she glanced through the small crack to see who was there. All she needed was a repeat of last night. He imitated her horribly. Was that how he saw her really? Kagome growled, her ears twitching.
Noticing this, he shrugged. "What's the matter with you? You're the one who was getting all the compliments last night, and then I try and get one simple answer out of you and I get insulted. Maybe I should have let you win at Monopoly, if this is how you act afterwards." He crossed his arms and leaned on the wall. "I don't think I'll ever understand you, Kagome."
Kagome swirled around and just stared. Her ears twitching back in anger. Folding her arms over her chest, Kagome stood there with narrowed eyes and just... Stopped. Quickly doing the monthly calculations in her head, Kagome's jaw dropped open revealing the canine like fangs. It was close to that time of month... Oh, Inuyasha REALLY wasn't use to female hormones... That explained SO much!
"Uh, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked softly taking his hand and leading him to the couch. She really had to relax him and calm him down, before he had a crying fit or something. "It's okay. As long as I understand you. And I wasn't getting the demon in the sac compliments." Kagome pointed out and smiled softly, well, as soft as she could manage in Inuyasha's form, her yellow eyes blazing. "I could've won if I wanted to." Kagome said after a minute. "I just let you win."
Feeling less like himself than he had since they had switched bodies, Inuyasha refused to let Kagome take her hand away. Covering a yawn, he curled up on the couch with his head on Kagome's shoulder. "Your body gets tired too easily."
"Well, why don't you go to sleep?" Kagome offered still feeling wired. "I'll study down here and you can sleep on my lap." She offered.
"Okay." He let go of her and barely managed to stay awake while Kagome ran to get her math text book. Inuyasha put his head in her lap, snuggling under her arm as she balanced the textbook on her knee. He stared at the numbers on the page and his brain started to get fuzzy. "This is the stuff that you study? It looks." he yawned again, "confusing." And then he was fast asleep.
