The Switch: Chapter 11

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.

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

Ooh, it's different this time: When I say Miroku, I mean Miroku in Miroku's body.

When I say Inuyasha, I mean Inuyasha in Inuyasha's body.

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

"Is everything all straightened out?" Kagome chirped from where she was sitting, that is, as far away from Miroku as she could without seeming rude. AN: But she still thinks he's Inu, remember?

Sango blushed and smiled at the same time. "Yup," she said happily.

Inuyasha nodded. Haha, that stupid lecher's gonna be mad at me for once. It's about time.

Miroku's jaw dropped. Did he…? Does she…? My Sango! Oh, he's asking for it… "Well good for you." He pulled Kagome to her feet, put an arm around her shoulders and kissed her.

Sango and Inuyasha just looked at each other. "That's just sick," Shippo exclaimed, making faces at the two as they continued to kiss. When they broke apart, Miroku raised an eyebrow at Inuyasha as if to say 'whaddya think of that?'

Inuyasha wasn't fazed. "Hey Miroku. What did Kagome say when you told her we switched back?"

"What did Sango say when you kissed her?"

"You… and Inuyasha… kissed?" Kagome said faintly. She looked at Sango. "YOU KISSED INUYASHA? I thought I could trust you," she said, sounding hurt and glaring at the demon slayer.

"Hey, it's not my fault I thought he was Miroku. And you know what else?"

"I don't want your excuses. You said I could have Inuyasha and you just liked his ears. And that was all." Breaking into tears, Kagome fled into the sanctuary of the forest.

Inuyasha looked at Miroku. Miroku looked at Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked at Sango. Shippo looked at all of them and asked "Now what happens?"

Inuyasha scratched the back of his head and stepped closer to Sango, staring at the ground and not her face. "Look. I'm sorry. I don't think it's gonna work out between us. You should be with the monk and I should be with Kagome. Please don't kill me." He took off into the woods after Kagome before Sango could decide whether she'd kill him or not.

"I think he was telling the truth," Miroku commented. He moved closer to Sango, about to take her hands in his.

"Oh no you don't. I've seen way more than enough of that for one day," Shippo said disgustedly, pushing the two apart. "It's just gross," he muttered, seeing the disappointed look on Miroku's face.

-----

When Kagome heard Inuyasha stop in front of her, she asked harshly "Was choosing between me and Kikyo too difficult?"

Inuyasha sighed and sat next to her. "Look Kagome." She turned away from him, tears still trickling down her cheeks. Hesitantly, he brushed some away. "Kagome, I don't know what I was thinking. I guess it was one of those spur of the moment things. But I really regret it now. It didn't mean anything to me."

Kagome just turned her back to him, still letting out the occasional sob. Inuyasha tried brushing some of her hair out of her face. I guess I was being a jerk. I wish she'd stop crying already. "Kagome. You're a lot prettier than she is."

"Inuyasha, just because you apologized doesn't mean it didn't happen. I thought maybe we could make it work out between us. But I guess not."

But Inuyasha wasn't finished. "Kagome, I even told Sango she'd be better of with the monk." Inuyasha took a deep breath before finishing his thought. "I decided that if I can't have you, I'll just stay… alone."

"Oh, Inuyasha!" The tears stopped and Inuyasha could see Kagome was smiling through her tears. cue cheesy romantic music Does he really mean it? "That's so sweet!" She hugged him and then, taking his hand in her own, she led a now-relieved and very happy Inuyasha back to the group.

-----

"Sango? Do you have feelings for Inuyasha?" Like the other12 times Miroku had asked, Sango wouldn't answer his question. Blushing, she wouldn't look at him.

Shippo jumped on the monk's shoulder, whining "Can we talk about something else please" Is that all they can think about? I hope I never grow up, I wanna think about having fun, not about if people love me or not.

"No. I am waiting for Lady Sango to answer my question." He repeated it.

"I heard you the first time, hoshi."

"How was I supposed to know? You wouldn't answer me. Do you have feelings for Inuyasha?"

Sango rolled her eyes. I guess Inuyasha was right. And Miroku is pretty concerned about it…"You've asked me 15 times now. And since you wanted my answers, I'll say it for you 15 times. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No!" The demon slayer was relieved to see Kagome and Inuyasha coming back before the perverted monk could try anything.

"Not you two too!" Shippo sighed disappointedly, seeing Kagome holding Inuyasha's hand.

"Okay, let's play hide and seek, Shippo," Sango suggested. She smirked when he glared at her.

"Why don't we hide and you look for us, then?" Miroku added. He whispered to the demon slayer "I'll hide with you Sango. I'll find us a good spot so we can stay there longer."

She smacked him. "When will you ever learn, monk?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, Sango. I was trying to help Shippo have fun."

"I know a game we can play," Inuyasha said suddenly. Everyone looked at him. Inuyasha never wanted to play games, especially with Shippo. Whenever Kagome made him, he always muttered something along the lines of "If Koga/Sesshomaru saw me now…"

"And what game is that, Inuyasha?" Miroku asked. He gulped when he saw the look on the half demon's face.

"It's called 'Make Inuyasha some Ramen.'"

Kagome sighed. "Inuyasha, I don't have anymore."

"I know. But Miroku does. You gave it to him because you didn't want me to have it." The monk took this as his exit cue and got to his feet, slowly backing away.

"Why would you think I still have it?" he asked innocently.

"Don't give him the ramen!" Kagome and Sango shouted at the same time. Miroku nodded, his attention on Inuyasha

"I'll get it myself, then," Inuyasha growled. Suddenly, he leapt at the monk who quickly held up his staff to block him. "Ooow," he moaned as the metal part hit him in the head. But he did succeed in knocking Miroku over. As soon as he'd recovered, Miroku started scooting away as quickly as he could while sitting down, eyes wide with fear.

Crouching, Inuyasha leapt again. But he didn't come close to Miroku this time. "SIT!" Kagome bellowed, and he fell face-first to the dirt.

When Inuyasha raised his head, he was looking into the trees, not yelling at Kagome or chasing Miroku. His ears twitched as he listened and the others watched, waiting for the verdict.

Before Inuyasha could tell them what he heard, something appeared in the campsite. Miroku and Inuyasha groaned. Shippo burst into laugher. And Sango and Kagome just watched, intrigued by the creature's appearance.

"It looks like a mouse… and a chicken…" Kagome said faintly.

The chicken-mouse's eyes grew large and round when it looked at Miroku and Inuyasha. "How did you do it? No one has ever been able to escape my switching spells!" it squeaked

Sango and Kagome joined Shippo, laughing hysterically. "That… that's the thing that switched you two?" Kagome managed to gasp.

Now the chicken-mouse's eyes narrowed at Kagome. "Would you like your friends here to be switched again?"

"No, no! I'm sorry," Kagome apologized.

"It's too late for apologies now," it clucked angrily.

"Wait!" Miroku shouted. The chicken-mouse turned to him. "Would you like to have lunch with us first?"

After a lunch of beef-flavored ramen noodles, which the chicken-mouse thoroughly enjoyed, it promised to leave the group alone since they had given it such wonderful food. As soon as possible, the Inuyasha gang left the mouse-chicken's territory and never returned.

---THE END---

Yes, I know, the ending wasn't what you expected. Go ahead and tell me how much it sucked in your review! I was amazed at the number of you who almost killed me for almost making it I/S. Don't worry, I'd never do that to you guys! Anyway, as always, thanks for reading and reviewing. And thanks for sticking it through 'til the flop I called an ending. I love you guys! I have an idea for another (hopefully funny) story so I hope y'all stick around!
