Chapter 3
Last time, the girls and boys started to plot against each other to have a little fun. Of course, neither group knows of the other's intention.
In the kitchen:
Sango took some dessert out of cupboard where she had been keeping it. "This sweet rice has been tainted with some magic powder, provided by Kaede. It makes the victims change color and personalities temporarily. Kisume and Katsu, I'm sorry but you have got to say here. Kagome and Rin, we will serve them these then sit back and watch the show!"
All the girls couldn't help but giggle.
In the sitting room:
"I hear giggling." Inuyasha growled.
"This confirms my suspicions." Answered the monk. "I say we use some of my special talismans for this occasion."
"Well," said Inuyasha impatiently, "What do they do?"
"We place them under each of the girls pillows, I say a few words to activate them, and the girls won't be able to say anything but the truth the whole time."
All the boys couldn't help but smile.
In a few minutes, the girls came in the room with the desserts and sat down. Unknowingly the boys fell right into the trap, probably thinking that anything as wonderful as food couldn't betray them.
"Wonderful sweet rice, Sango." Stated Miroku between mouthfuls. "Why aren't you eating any?"
"Oh, well the girls and I are quite stuffed from eating all that sushi before." Sango said, as the talisman glowed underneath her, "and, we didn't want to eat the magic powder stuck in them. Oh my gosh did I just say that out loud?!"
"What!?" yelled all three men as they spit rice everywhere, but it was too late for them, as they were already changing color. Miroku was changing into a red color, as Inuyasha turned blue, and Sesshomaru turned green.
Miroku stood up quickly and glared at Sango, rage apparent in his eyes. Sango swore that she could see fire in them. "Woman, I think that you should start talkin' real fast! What the hell is going on, damn it!?"
"Wow, what a potty mouth, and such a temper." Said Kagome, thinking about how much the monk sounded like Inuyasha.
"Shut up!" screamed Miroku.
"I think that we should understand the situation completely before jumping to any conclusions." Sesshomaru added very matter-a-factly. "Please tell us what you put in our desserts. Oh yes, I almost forgot." He said as he got up and walked over to Rin. "Would you be interested in bearing my children?"
The talisman under Rin glowed. "Of course I would... I mean...oh crap."
Sango wondered if Sesshomaru was possessed by Miroku, then looked over to Inuyasha who was still sitting there very calm, showing only a slight eyebrow twitch to indicate that he was irritated. This proved Sango's theory.
"Listen, all of you!" Sango yelled. "We put magic powder from Kaede in the rice. The powder must not only change their personalities, but it switches their personalities with the other people who had the powder. I think that Miroku got Inuyasha's personality, Sesshomaru got Miroku's, and Inuyasha got Sesshomaru. It will wear off in 15 minutes or so."
Everyone looked at her blankly for a moment before they all agreed that sounded right, then they settled down.
"I think that the boys aren't the only ones being manipulated." Rin cut in. "Why can I not control my mouth all of a sudden?"
The boys looked at each other sheepishly before Inuyasha finally said something. "The monk put a truth talisman under your pillows." Then added boardly, " and it can't be deactivated unless he says so."
All the girls glared at the monk who started to get defensive. "Hey! Why are you all mad at me, you did something even worse to us! Least I didn't screw up your whole personality! Feh!"
"Turn the talismans OFF!" Sango yelled at her 'husband'.
"All right, geez! I will need complete silence in order to find total serenity. Only then will I be able to break the spell." Miroku pouted, then tried to meditate. After about ten minutes, he burst out yelling. "Oi! I can't stop my mind from racing, and everything is pissing me off for no reason!"
Sesshomaru tried to help. "Just focus on one thing. Something very simple, like a circle."
"Feh! I can't!" Miroku stated frankly. "The girls will just have to stay this way until their little trick wears off on us."
"Maybe we should have some fun with this while it lasts." Sesshomaru said mischievously.
"NO!" said Kagome, "I think that we should just stay silent until this whole thing wears off."
Everyone sat there for a few minutes, until Inuyasha broke the silence. "So Kagome, do you think my brother is hot?"
"What?" Kagome stammered, the blushed. "I...I...I do. I mean really, what girl doesn't. But that doesn't mean I don't love you Inuyasha, because I do. I've always loved you."
Inuyasha just gave Kagome a slight smile.
Miroku looked at his wife mischievously, "So Sango" he said as Sango became rigid "Did you ever think that Inuyasha's little doggy ears were cute?"
"Um, no."
"No!?" yelled Kagome, "What do you mean, no? Those things are the CUTEST! I just want to play with them all day!"
"I mean no. I always thought they looked funny."
Inuyasha gave a quick evil glare to Sango that made her rethink her answer. Too bad she couldn't change it even if she wanted to.
"Oi! When is this stuff going to wear off!" interrupted Miroku. "I hate being so moody, and I can tell that the author is getting a headache writing this way. It's bloody confusing!"
"It shouldn't last more then five minutes." Rin responded.
"Oh yeah, we almost left out Rin." Laughed Miroku. "Did you ever have a thing for Shippou? I mean after he started to grow taller an' all."
"Hmm", Rin thought back, "No, I think that I was always very focused on Lord Sesshomaru. I did notice that Shippou was becoming very handsome though. I knew that he would make a very good kitsune when he grew up. Of course no one can level up to the strength of the western lord, and the..-"
"Yeah, yeah, give it a rest. You're gonna' make me hurl" Miroku said, cutting Rin's speech off short.
Inuyasha growled, "Pathetic older brother. I should have gotten both swords from father. They are only wasted in his incapable hands."
Sesshomaru growled back, "For your information Inuyasha, my full demon form is much better then your stupid hanyou one. I can turn into a big dog. Can you do that, can you? Yes Inuyasha don't hide the fact that you CAN'T."
"Oh my", Kagome sighed, "No matter what personality they have, those two are still going to fight."
"Yeah, it's quite pathetic. And you know it's true because I said it with this talisman active." Added Sango.
As the brothers were fighting and Miroku was getting all excited yelling 'fight, fight, fight!!!' over and over, the blue, red, and green tints slowly left their skin.
"Look, Kagome, I think they are turning back to normal!" Rin stated excitedly.
"Yes, and they are STILL fighting... how sad." Sango said.
"I'll break it up... SIT!" yelled Kagome, while her mate face planted in the dirt once again.
"Oi! Kagome how many times do I have to tell you..." Inuyasha stopped, the quickly added, "We're back to normal! Yes! I don't the stupid urge to stay quiet all the time even though my emotions are raging inside. Geez Sesshomaru, I would hate to be you all the time."
"Ahem, before another fight breaks out" Miroku observed, "We should all learn from this and understand why- oh Sango. Yes. Change you back, well of course I will. Why didn't you say so 10 minutes ago when we first went back to normal?"
"Ten minutes?" Inuyasha said dumbly.
"Yes little brother," Added Sesshomaru, "didn't you notice the color draining away and our personalities changing back?"
"Ummmmm...."
"I'll take that as a no."
The next morning..."Thank you Sango and Miroku for letting us use your house!" Kagome yelled back to them as she and Inuyasha left for home. They had stayed the night since they were traveling on foot, and it took them a half-day to get to their village. Sesshomaru and Rin on the other hand had left that night since they had Ah and Un to ride and they could get back to the castle in an hour.
Kagome was amazed that the little family reunion had gone so well, especially with the whole magic incident. The two brothers actually hadn't killed each other. Kagome looked over at Inuyasha and smiled. Inuyasha noticed from the corner of his eye and smiled too.
"Hey Kagome?"
"Yes, Inuyasha?
"Do you remember when you said that you always loved me, even when you thought my brother was hot?"
Kagome blushed, "yes."
"I just wanna' say that meant a lot to me, even though the part about my brother made me wanna' puke."
Kagome and Inuyasha laughed for a while, then Inuyasha spoke again.
"Kagome, I think it would be okay if we did this again next year."
Kagome almost stopped walking because she was so surprised. "Really?"
"Really" Inuyasha said as he pulled her closer. He figured he could always use a little more excitement. What else is family for?
The EndSo how was it? Did it suck? I don't know. Tell me by reviewing. Oh my goodness some of that was confusing to write. Do you think they will have another family reunion next year? That's up to you. Anyway, I'm done now. Hope you liked it!!!!!
