Right Minds, Wrong Bodies... Or Something

Chapter 4: What Do We Do in the Meantime?

------------------------------------------------------------------

From now on, when I say Sango or Miroku, I am referring to their mind, so in eachother's bodies. So if I say, 'Sango did this,' it would be Sango in Miroku's body. Okay?

Kagome was in the corner, whimpering something about being violated by a pervert who deceived her by taking the place of her best friend. She knew it wasn't like Miroku had never seen her naked before. What about all those times when he was caught spying on her and Sango? Actually, come to think of it, maybe it was just monkeys half the time, and he got blamed for scaring them away. But now was hardly the time to be feeling sorry for him.

Kagome turned so that she was facing the group. It had probably been about twenty minutes since she had found out about the switch. Everyone else was sitting on the ground, save for Kaede. She was busying herself with closely examining the last remaining herb of the one that Miroku and Sango ate. Probably trying to find some sort of antidote.

Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha all sat around a slowly dying fire. Inuyasha was just about to ask Kagome for some noodles for him to warm up, when Sango spoke from his right.

"It could be worse, you know," she said softly. Then, realizing that she had the whole group's attention, she went on. "At least me and Miroku know eachother enough that this won't be completely awkward. Sure, it's not going to be the most enjoyable time of my life, but I guess we better get used to it, because it doesn't look like we'll be getting our bodies back anytime soon."

Kaede looked up from the small table she had the herb on. "Yes, t'is truth that she speaks. I cannot see any one herb which could cure such a... disease," she finished off, obviously unsure as to what she should refer to the occurance as.

Miroku, who, until this point, had been gazing down at his breasts, attempted a perverted voice of reason. "I think that me and Sango should stay close to eachother. Very close to eachother, to make sure that we both stay safe and that we both stay in character to those who don't know about our... change."

This got him a few stares from Sango and Inuyasha, but he continued, hoping that they'd agree. Furthermore, I think we should take this is a wonderful opprotunity to explore eachother's bodies."

Wham.

Miroku's own staff suddenly came in harsh contact with his skull. He rubbed his head of long brown hair and looked up to see who had done it. He saw himself standing there, and Sango had placed a smirk on his face. From under his breath, Inuyasha snorted. Miroku attempted to reason again.

"Actually, I think I should be the one to be in control of my sutras and my staff," he said. "Sango may carry her boomerang," he added, remembering the time when he had tried to carry it, but couldn't so much as get it off the ground. (Movie 1, people, you should see it ).

Sango was about to oblige when Kaede stepped in. "Nay!" She shouted. "Ye musn't let any other know about this switch! Human or Demon!" Everyone realized she had a point there. It would be terrible to run into Naraku with him knowing that both the monk and the demon exterminator were out of commission because they didn't have the right bodies.

"There are differences between males and females besides the most obvious ones," Kagome spoke up, startling the group. She glanced towards Miroku as she finished that last part. "Some of the muscle structure is different. I was reading up on it in one of my health books. You might have trouble walking, let alone fighting."

"So from now on, I'm going to be acting as a monk, and he's going to be acting like a trained demon exterminator?" Sango questioned, making sure that she was hearing everything right.

"Yup," Kagome said. "Well, we don't really have any other choice now, do we?"

Sango mumbled something, probably a reluctant agreement to Kagome's statement. Then she blushed a little. "Well, speaking of us having, er, other 'parts', I kinda have to... use the toilet."

She nearly mumbled this last part, as it dawned on her that she wasn't exactly, well, sure how guys emptied their bladders. Yes, she knew that they stood up and everything, but she wasn't sure exactly... what... they did.

She stood up, and looked round at the group, who were obviously expecting her to just go. No one looked as if they were about to get up to hepl her, so she was going to have to ask about it herself. But who should she ask? The group in general? Miroku? Miroku would be the most logical choice, but she wasn't really in the mood to have a lot of sex references out of such a simple question. Shippo, well, Sango wasn't quite sure that he knew that there was a difference between boys and girls, and he'd probably be very curious as to why she forgot such a thing. Inuyasha? Did she want to die? 'Eh, better than the other two,' she thought, bending down to grab the dog demon's arm.

She grabbed his arm and hoisted him up. "What?!" he demanded, somewhat surprised by her actions. Why him? Why did she need someone to come with her?

"Umm... I could use just a little bit of help," She said quietly, and with that, she dragged him out into the small forest area.

...Yeah, quite a bit shorter than the other ones. Originally, chapters four and five were just one big one, but I didn't want one that was too huge.
