All right! I've achieved my goal of getting over 100 reviews! I'm so happy!
queen of air: I don't like Hojou either. Last chapter wasn't really fun to write...but this one was awesome! I loved writing it. That's probably why I updated so quickly.
Eleature: Yay! I love your review! Now I feel special XD
Disclaimer: Lawyers are evil! And I do not own Inuyasha or Ranma 1/2. This is...what...the fifteenth time I've made my point? o.O Why do I have to remind you every chapter!? Isn't it painful enough knowing I will never have them?! Haha...but that's okay. Rumiko can keep them! As long as I still have Kyou! Well, okay, he's not mine...not yet, anyway.
Enjoy this slightly disturbing yet still funny chapter.

"All right, you two. What's the plan?" Miroku asked. They both scowled. "Miroku, we've repeated it about a hundred times!" Kouga protested, angrily. "Of course I still know it!"
"Yes," Miroku said, "but repeat it anyway." He ordered. Kouga scowled again, but began to speak.
"Kagome thinks that Ashiyuna doesn't know about her knowing that Ashiyuna and Inuyasha planned to get married. So Ashi and I are going to pretend to be a couple, 'accidentally' run into Kagome, and say hi. Then, we'll make up a bunch of lies about me and her being together. Then, Kagome will think that Ashi is cheating in Inu-koro, and tell him. Inu-koro will act sad and apologize to Kagome, and then they'll make up somehow. But I'll have you know that every part of me HATES this stupid plan." He said.
Ashiyuna nodded. "But why Kouga? Can't I just find this stupid villager, pay him to play along, and then kill him to get my money back?" She complained. Miroku shook his head. "It's too late now, Inuyasha." Then, he suddenly stopped them. "Do you hear that?" He whispered to them. They did. It was Kagome, and it sounded like she was talking to someone, but they couldn't hear the words.
---
"I'd like to thank you again for helping me out, Kogema." Kagome said, smiling to the person standing next to her and Sango. "Don't worry about it." Kogema replied, with a grin. "Now, what's this plan of yours?" He asked.
"Well..." Kagome began, "We're going to pretend to be a couple, 'accidentally' run into Inuyasha, and say hi. Then, we'll make up a bunch of lies about me and you being together. Then, Inuyasha will get really mad and jealous, and Sango, who will be hiding in the bushes the whole time, will take a picture. I'll go on pretending that I'm your girlfriend, and prove to Inuyasha that I don't need him." She finished, nodding. "So, what do you say? Will you help me?" She asked, hopefully.
"Of course." Kogema replied. Kagome's grin widened. "Thank you so much!" She exclaimed, and hugged him. Meanwhile, Sango's eyes darted across the clearing. "Someone's coming." She said, and quickly hid behind the bushes.
Then, the two pairs caught sight of each other. "Kagome's with someone!" Kouga hissed, quietly. "It doesn't make a difference!" Ashiyuna muttered back. "Let's just go!"
Kouga nodded. Then, he glanced at Kogema. -What?- He thought, -I've seen that man before somewhere...but where?- He pondered.
Kagome pulled away from the hug, and noticed Ashiyuna and Kouga. -That's Kouga! But what's Ashiyuna doing with her?- She thought. "Hey, Kogema!" She whispered, leaning over to him. "Yeah?" He asked, leaning in as well. "That's Ashiyuna, Inuyasha's fiance! If we act in front of her, she's sure to tell Inuyasha! So let's keep it cool, okay?" She instructed, quietly. Kogema nodded. "Right." He said, and they both straightened up.
"Hey!" Ashiyuna yelled, waving. Then, she ran up to them, and Kouga followed. "Kagome! I didn't expect to see you here!" She exclaimed, happily.
Kagome nodded, and tried her best to sound normal, and not angry. After all, this was the girl she found out was going to marry the man she loved, and was now seen with another guy. One of her admirers, for that matter! Even though she never felt anything special towards Kouga, she couldn't help but feel that Ashiyuna was taking everything from her. Who wouldn't be mad?
"Actually, I'm on a date with my boyfriend, Kogema!" She exclaimed, happily. Ashiyuna suddenly twitched. Kagome blinked. "Hm? Is something wrong?" She asked, curiously. "No...nothing at all!" She said. "After all, why would anything be wrong? I'm on a date too! With my boyfriend, Kouga!"
-Kagome!- Ashiyuna thought, angrily, -What the hell are you doing with this freak who almost kissed me?! I'll teach her to cheat on me! Wait a minute...what's that?- She thought, noticing something.
"Ooooh, Kagome! What is that pretty rock around your neck?" She asked, excitedly. "Hm?" Kagome replied, blinking, and looking down at the pendant that Hojou had given her. "Oh, this! A guy I know gave it to me. Do you like it?" She asked, with a smile.
"Of course! It's lovely!" Ashiyuna replied. -And just who is this guy?! I'll kill him!-
Kagome sighed, happily. "It's so nice when a guy gets you gifts, don't you agree?" "Yes, of course!" Ashiyuna replied. Kagome smiled. "Inuyasha would probably never get anyone a gift." She said, shaking her head. Kouga chuckles softly as he glances at Ashiyuna. She ignored him.
"Oh, I know!" Ashiyuna said. "Inuyasha is so rude. Kouga is much better." She said, grinning. Kagome nodded. "Hey, how about we make this a double date?" She asked, eagerly. "Sure!" Ashiyuna replied, smiling.
"Hey, I've got a great idea!" Kagome said, smiling. "Let's go to the ocean! But we should hurry, so we can catch the sunset." She said, thinking quickly. Ashiyuna and Kouga froze.
-The ocean?- Ashiyuna thought, -I'm sure glad that the water is cold! But wait...that would mean that...Kouga!- She glanced at him, who was also worrying about this. -No! If I turn into a cat, it'll all be over!-
Kagome blinked. "Hm?" Then, she gasped, making a realization. "You two...don't tell me that..."
Both of them seemed extremely tense. -No! It can't be! Has she figured it out?- They both thought. Miroku, who had been watching, was just as tense. -She knows...how did she figure it out? Man, I'm dead!-
"You can't swim, can you?" Kagome asked. All three of them suddenly felt like morons. "No, I can't!" Ashiyuna said. "What about you..honey?" She asked, as though he was pained in saying that last word. Kouga shook his head. "Of course I can't...darling!" He twitched.
Kagome smiled. "Well, that's all right. We'll just stay on the shore." She then looked up to the sky. "Come on, guys, we'd better get going!"
---
They made it to the beach, just in time for the sun set. The supposed 'couples' sat together in pairs and watched, while their stalkers (Sango and Miroku) watched from the shelter of the trees. Kagome, Kogema, and Ashiyuna 'oooh'ed and 'aaah'ed at the pretty colors, but Kouga looked highly uninterested. Of course Ashiyuna thought it was boring as well, but she played along. Once the sun had set, the waves began to grow a bit larger, but they paid no attention to it.
"There's nothing like a sunset on the ocean." Kagome said, happily. Ashiyuna nodded in agreement. Then, Kouga noticed something. "What's that?" He asked, pointing out into the ocean. Ashiyuna squinted. "It's looks like a..." Kagome's eyes widened. "A tsunami!"
Then, everyone appeared to be in panic, Miroku and Sango included. Before they had the chance to high tail it out of there, however, the tidal wave hit. It covered the whole sandy beach, and even went into the forest a bit. That's when it happened. Four people in the area transformed. Kouga became a cat, Miroku became Korumi, Sango became Gonsa, and...
When the wave withdrew from the shore, Ashiyuna, who was on the ground, looked up, a bit dizzy. What? He thought he saw two Kogemas...and one was wearing a...
Before she could continue her observation, many meows made him turn around to see Neko-chan sitting on top of Kouga's clothes.
Miroku and Sango both neglected their friends on the beach, and quickly changed into their clothes for Korumi and Gonsa.
Kogema looked around quickly, and then down. -Oh no!- He thought, -I've changed!- Then, he quickly turned to the other Kogema. "Shippou!" He hissed, "Quickly, turn into me!"
Kogema quickly nodded, and transformed into Kagome. "Stall them!" Kogema whispered, and ran off into the forest.
"I'll stall them!" Ashiyuna whispered to the cat, grabbed Kouga's clothes, and threw them into the forest. "Go find Miroku! He'll help you!"
So Neko-chan ran off into the forest. Ashiyuna looked at Kagome, and blinked. "Where did Kogema go?" She asked. "What about Kouga?" Kagome asked her in return. "Do you think they got carried away in the tidal wave?" Ashiyuna asked, alarmed. She knew, of course, that it was not so. "I don't know! Let's look!" Kagome replied. Shippou knew, of course, that they were both perfectly fine, but they had to stall somehow.
A few minutes later, Kouga appeared, in his clothes. "I found Kouga!" Ashiyuna called to Kagome, and was relieved that he and Miroku managed to find hot water.
"Hold on," Kagome said, "I think I saw Kogema!" With that, she ran off into the forest. "Hey Kagome!" Shippou whispered. "How'd you get the hot water?" He asked. "Never mind that!" Kagome said. "Come on, yo've got to change back into Kogema before they get suspicious!"
So Shippou quickly transformed into Kogema, and they both left the forest. "Hey, I found him!" Kagome said, waving.
"That's good." Ashiyuna replied. Korumi and Gonsa, who had gotten in the appropriate clothes for their gender, sighed in relief. Korumi began to move to the right, towards Gonsa, so she could get a better view. Gonsa began to move left towards Korumi, so he could get a better view. Then, they bumped into each other.
They both looked surprised, but kept quiet. "What are you going here?" Gonsa whispered to Korumi. "I'm making sure that Ashiyuna's date with Kouga goes well. What are you doing here?" She asked. "I'm making sure that Kogema's date with Kagome goes well!" She said. Then, they stared at each other. Both of them smirked. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Gonsa asked. "I think I am." Korumi replied, with a nod.
---
Korumi and Gonsa walked out on the beach, both smiling. Everyone looked up at them, alarmed. "Mir--Korumi!" Ashiyuna said, correcting herself, "What are you doing here?"
"And what about you, Sa--Gonsa?" Kogema asked.
"Ashiyuna! I had no idea that you were here!" Korumi said, smiling. "I'm on a date with my boyfriend, Gonsa!" She said. Ashiyuna and Kouga stared. Kagome looked up at Gonsa, confused. "Is this true?" She asked. Gonsa nodded.
It was perfect. They were both spying, weren't they? It would defiantly easier if they pretended to date each other!
"Well," Gonsa said, "we're going to stay here, I hope you don't mind!"
Kagome shook her head. "It's fine." She said. -Well, she's got to have a reason for this, so I'll just go with it...- "Yeah." Ashiyuna said. "Fine." -What the hell does he think he's doing?-
Kagome and Ashiyuna both let out small gasps. -That's right!- They thought, -I'm here to convince him/her that I'm in a deep relationship with Kogema/Kouga! It's getting pretty late, and this could be my last chance!-
Kagome put her arm around Kogema's shoulder, and Ashiyuna did the same for Kouga. In return, Kogema put his arm around Kagome's shoulder, and Kouga hesitantly did the same for Ashiyuna.
"So," Kagome began, "you're serious about Kouga?"
"Of course!" Ashiyuna replied. "Are you serious about Kogema?" She asked. Kagome nodded. "Yes! But...I thought you an Inuyasha were engaged. Kogema told me." She said.
"Oh, him?" Ashiyuna said, blinking. "Yeah, but that was before I met Kouga." She told her. Kagome suddenly got really angry, but didn't let it show in her expression. -She's cheating on him! With Kouga, nonetheless! I can't believe this!- But then, she paused. -Wait...maybe she just wants me to think that, so I'll be friends with Inuyasha again, and they can continue their relationship behind my back! I can't believe this!-
-But...which one is it?- Gonsa pondered, thinking the same thing as Kagome. -And Ashiyuna will tell Inuyasha about Kogema and me, so Inuyasha will think I've dumped him for good!- Kagome thought. -Maybe this plan wasn't such a good idea in the first place...wait, what am I saying? I don't care about Inuyasha! I just want to know if Ashiyuna is serious about cheating on him! And, if she and Kouga are that close, then I'm sure we'd see some sign of affection to prove it...hey, speaking of signs of affection...I still have to prove to her that I'm serious about Kogema! Since it's Shippou, it'll be easy for me! He's a child, after all.-
"Well," Kagome said, smiling, "we should all get going. It's getting pretty late. But first, Kogema..." She said, turning to him passionately, "I'd like to thank you...for a great date." She said, wrapped her arms around him, and kissed him.
The other four all looked amazed, and Gonsa took a picture with the Polaroid camera that Kagome had given her. He had to; he couldn't resist. Then, a square photo came out, and he took it.
Kagome withdrew from the kiss, and winked at Kogema, so the others couldn't see it. Ashiyuna hesitated, and began to sweat. Kagome looked over at her, and smiled. She sweated even more.
-Damn...damn...what do I do...damn...damn!-
She swallowed hard, and quickly wrapped her arms around Kouga. Before he had a time to react, she kissed him. Again, everyone looked amazed. But not nearly as amazed as Korumi. Again, Gonsa took a picture.
Two seconds later, Ashiyuna quickly let go and edged away from him. Kouga. Was. Angry.
-They're defiantly serious about each other...I can't believe it...I've got to tell Inuyasha!- Kagome thought, and then glanced Korumi and Gonsa, suddenly remembering that they were there.
Korumi and Gonsa looked at each other. "I'm not kissing you." They said, in unison.
Kouga was desperately trying to hold back his rage. He put on a forced smile. "Well...it...was...fun...see...you...later..."
Kagome nodded. "All right, bye."
They left in two groups. One of Kagome, Kogema, and Gonsa, and the other of Ashiyuna, Korumi, and Kouga.
---
Once they were far enough away, the Ashiyuna group stopped. Kouga was shaking with rage. "Kill...you..."
Ashiyuna had spit on the ground at least five times, and scowled. "I didn't enjoy it either! But I had to prove to Kagome that--" "Kill...you...!"
Then, the furious wolf unleashed his rage.
---
Miroku returned to the village, dragging Inuyasha by the collar. He walked into Kaede's hut, where Kaede, Kagome, Sango, Shippou, and Kirara were sitting down to stew. Immediately, all eyes went to Inuyasha. He was in the worst condition he had been in his whole life.
"Miroku, what happened?" Kagome exclaimed, worriedly. Miroku began to sweat. "Let's just say that we're lucky he's not dead."

"All right, you two. What's the plan?" Miroku asked. They both scowled. "Miroku, we've repeated it about a hundred times!" Kouga protested, angrily. "Of course I still know it!"
"Yes," Miroku said, "but repeat it anyway." He ordered. Kouga scowled again, but began to speak.
"Kagome thinks that Ashiyuna doesn't know about her knowing that Ashiyuna and Inuyasha planned to get married.
