Before I start ranting, I would like to take a moment to say...

Thank you reviewers!

Okay, that's done. I know that you're all eager to see 'what Sesshomaru is,' but have you ever thought about him being nothing at all? I mean, the only transformations we know about for sure are Inu/Ashi Mir/Kor and Kou/Neko. You people really like to jump to conclusions, don't you? Haha, that'll give you something to think about! But just to think about. Hey, some or all of your predictions may be true. I'm just trying to confuse you. Did it work?

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Ranma 1/2. Really...why do I have to do this every chapter? I mean, you know that it is impossible for me to own either one of them because I'm not Rumiko, right? Well, whatever. Here's your chapter. If you have a minute or two to spare, why don't you give me a review? :)

Inuyasha maliciously stormed into his other room; the one Miroku and he had gotten when they were both women. He slid the door shut, walked up to the wall, and sat down against it. -I can't believe Kagome is so mad about that stupid cat. I mean, it's just a cat!- He thought, bitterly. -But whatever. I'll go find him in the morning.-

He yawned, got comfortable against his wall, and fell asleep.

In the morning, he woke up right at sunset. He stood up and went to the door, but then paused. If he left this way. he would have to pass Kagome's room, or possibly meet one of his companions in the hall. Not to mention that he wouldn't be welcome, for he checked in when he was his female self.

So he turned around, walked to the window, opened it, and hopped out. From there, he took off to the mountains.

Kouga was sitting on a ledge a ways away from the waterfall that hid the entrance to his caves. He was looking down at the plastic ball of cat nip, which he held in his hands. "It smells disgusting." He muttered to himself. "I don't get it. How could it be so great before, yet terrible now?"

Before he could continue his study, another unpleasant scent reaches his nose. He growled. "Inu-koro."

Inuyasha quickly jumped in front of him, and looked down. He smirked. "Hey, Fuzzy. How've you been?" Kouga growled, jumped to his feet, and punched him. Inuyasha twitched. "That hurt, you know!" "What brings you here, Ashiyuna?" Kouga asked.

Inuyasha now put on a serious expression. "Kagome's really mad at me for letting you go. So can you help me out? Turn into a cat, I'll take you back, and then you can run away at any time you want." He said.

Kouga chuckled. "Sorry, inu-koro, but you're out of luck. I have no intention of becoming your pet again. Why don't you go find a nice squirrel or bunny for her? Besides, now that you're out of the league, Kagome's mine for sure!" He smirked. Kouga was about to take off, but Inuyasha pushed him off of the ledge. Before he fell, however, Kouga grabbed onto Inuyasha's leg, pulling him down as well, and they both fell into the water.

Ashiyuna glared at Kouga, and picked him up by the tail. "You know, you really are a pain in the ass."

Inuyasha returned to the town with Neko-chan, and looked around. He, of course, had used hot water to change back before finding the others. Then, he saw them just about to leave. "Kagome!" He yelled. Kagome paused for a moment, but then kept going. Miroku looked back at him, as though he were trying to tell him something, but Inuyasha didn't understand.

He ran up to the group, and jumped in front of Kagome. "Kagome! I'm sorry, okay? And look! I found Neko-chan for you! Here he is!" He held Neko-chan out to her. "So you're not mad at me anymore...right?" He asked, hopefully.

Kagome grabbed Neko-chan around his back, and held him close to her. She stroked his head, and then looked up at Inuyasha, anger filling her eyes.

"You..." She began, shaking with rage. "You think that this changes anything? Do you expect me to welcome you back with open arms?"

Inuyasha was taken aback. He stood there, shocked. He had never seen Kagome this angry before.

"How could you, Inuyasha? And, on top of it all, you never even told me! Not once mentioned anything! I hate you! I never want to see you again! Ever!"

Inuyasha stared at Kagome quite seriously. "Look, Kagome, if you're not mad about the cat, then I have no idea what I did to upset you. If you tell me, I'll find a way to make it up to you. I promise."

"Don't promise." Kagome replied, looking down as a tear streamed down her cheek. "You won't be able to keep it."

Then, she and everyone else, excluding Inuyasha, continued on. Kouga glanced back at him curiously for a moment, but then turned back ahead, wondering what on earth was going on.

Inuyasha sat at the lakeside he had always visited with Miroku. It was also the place where they lost Sesshomaru. Where had he gone, anyway? He was used to his brother doing strange things like that, so he didn't bother thinking about it for that long.

He got out his kimono, sandals, and hair tie, and set them by his side. Then, he looked around, removed his clothing, and set them down next to his kimono. Then, he descended into the water, though shivered at how cold it was. When she rose from the water, she was Ashiyuna.

She grabbed her kimono and began to get suited up as Ashiyuna. Once she was finished, she put away her hatori, and walked away. Inuyasha had felt the need to disappear, and hoped that his problems would go with his body. They didn't. Still, he did feel a bit better about being Ashiyuna, for he was able to relieve at least some of the stress of Inuyasha.

Ashiyuna walked into the forest of Inuyasha, not really paying any attention to direction. Just wandering, and trying to think of what she did wrong. Nothing came to mind.

"Excuse me, but do you know where the Cat Cafe is?" Someone asked her. She looked up. Ashiyuna had been too busy sulking to realize that a traveler was practically right in front of her. She blinked. "Kouga?" She asked, curiously. He sure looked a lot like Kouga. He had short hair, carried a large backpack, had an umbrella, and wore a yellow bandana with black spots as a headband.

He blinked. "Kouga? Who's that supposed to be? I am Ryouga Hibiki." He said. "Ashiyuna." She muttered back. "Sorry, but I've never heard of this 'Cat Cafe' of yours. Ask someone else."

"Wait!" Ryouga said before she had the chance to walk away, pulled out a map, and showed it to her. Ashiyuna blinked. "Never seen it before. Sorry." She said, and stalked off.

"Damnit..." Ryouga muttered, and walked away, his head buried in the map. "Where am I now?"

Ashiyuna spent many hours just walking around in the forest. About an hour before sunset, she noticed two figures running toward her. She raised an eyebrow, confused.

"Inuyasha!" One called. She knew that voice. "Inu-koro!" The other one yelled. Ashiyuna twitched. "Shut the hell up, Kouga!" She yelled, angrily. She began towards them, but before she could go very far, they reached her first.

"Miroku, Kouga, what are you two doing here?" Ashiyuna asked, with a blink.

"We came to find you." Miroku said. "It was lucky that Kouga was here to track your scent." He explained. Kouga smirked. "Miroku told me why Kagome was so mad. You're doomed." He said.

Ashiyuna blinked. "What? Why? What did I do?" She asked.

Miroku sighed. "Where to start...well, you remember last night when we ran into Kogema and Gonsa, correct?" He asked. Ashiyuna nodded. "Yeah, but what's that got to do with anything?" She asked.

"Just be quiet and let me explain. You see, last night in the inn, Kagome and Sango told me that two of their friends had met with Ashiyuna and Korumi. Those two friends were Kogema and Gonsa. Apparently, they told Sango and Kagome about how you, as Ashiyuna, told them that you and Inuyasha were a couple."

"The dogs..." Ashiyuna muttered. "Actually, the only dog here is you." Miroku pointed out. Ashiyuna glared at him. "But that wasn't your point, was it?" Miroku smiled.

"Anyway," Kouga said, "now Kagome and Sango both think you're a two timer. Or a three timer, if you include Kikyou." He said, matter-of-factly.

Ashiyuna scowled. "Great. Now I've got to find a way to clear this whole thing up. Damnit...Any ideas, you guys?" She asked. "You could tell her as Ashiyuna that you lied." Miroku suggested.

"No. Think about it, Kagome would never believe me. She'd probably think that I asked Ashiyuna to tell her that so Inuyasha could get back into the group." "Either that or only Ashiyuna lied so that she and Inuyasha wouldn't have anyone in her way." Miroku stated. "Good point."

"You could tell her the truth about you actually being Ashiyuna." Kouga offered. Ashiyuna paused for a moment, and looked back on all of the things she did as Ashiyuna in front of Kagome. -I tried to kill Inuyasha when Naraku had me under his control...ha. The idiot. Oh, and I also tried to humiliate Miroku the first time our girl forms met Kagome and Sango. Also, weren't we offered to go to the hot springs with them? Yeah, that's pretty bad. Not to mention the fact that Miroku and I see naked women practically every day now...yeah, that'll defiantly piss them off. And I'm sure she'll know about how I almost kissed a guy, too!-

"No." Ashiyuna replied, flatly. "They'd kill me. Do you have any other ideas?"

They both shook their heads. After taking a few minutes to think, Ashiyuna snapped her fingers. "What is it?" Miroku asked. "You have an idea?" Kouga questioned.

"Yes, but..." Ashiyuna hesitated slightly. "It'll be hard to pull off...and we'd need time to work it all out." She stated.

"No problem." Miroku replied. "About an hour ago, Kagome left for her world. She'll be back in about three days. Until then, I suppose you could say that we're on a break. So tell us; what is this plan of yours?"

Ashiyuna smiled. "Well..."

Kagome sat at the desk in her room. The light was on, she held a pencil in her right hand, and a sheet of blank line paper was lying on the desk. She had just gotten ready to write one of her two essays she had to make up. "Fantasy creatures..." She murmured to herself, and her pencil touched he paper. "Some... people... don't... belive... in... creatures... like... dragons... or... demons..." She recited, as she scribbled down the words. "but... I... do..." She recited, and her pencil stopped. She sighed.

"Man...I was never good at writing essays. I wonder what it'd be like if Inuyasha and the others went to my school...what kind of grades they'd get..." She murmured, and let her mind wander. After a few minutes, she realized what she was doing. "Come, on Kagome! Stop spacing out!" She scolded herself. Two hours later, she completed the essay.

Kagome looked over it. "It's good enough." She said, nodding, and putting it aside. "Besides, I don't have time to make a final copy. This rough draft'll have to do. Now, moving on."

She got out more line paper, set it on her desk, and then grabbed her notebook. She flipped through the pages until she found one of the most recent, where she had written the assignments she needed to make up on it. "Fantasy essay, check." She said, as she crossed out that item on the list, and them looked on to the next one. "Essay about someone I care about..."

She folded back the cover and pages before that one, and set the notebook on her desk, yet out of the way of her writing space. "Hm...who should I do it about..." She thought, touching her pencil to the paper. The first thing that came to her mind was Inuyasha. "Ugh, no! I am not writing my essay about him! He's nothing but an arrogant, selfish jerk!" She said, to herself.

"Yet..." She murmured, her eyes softening again. "He's got a good side too...he'd never let one of his friends get hurt. Sure he can be kind of rude sometimes...well, okay, most of the time...but still, he can be very kind...and he protects me." Kagome said, and her pencil began to move. Thirty minutes later, it was complete. Again, she didn't make a final copy, just put it in her folder with the rest of the work she had to make up. She looked at the notebook, and crossed out 'essay about someone I care about.'

Then, she folded the cover back on the notebook, and crammed all of her things into her bag. Kagome stretched out her arms, and yawned. "Wow, I can't believe I finished all of my assignments...even though I just guessed for math. I'm going to go to bed..." She said, while yawning. Then, she changed into her night gown, and went to sleep.
