DISCLAIMER: "Mwhahahaha..." brisk33 cackles insanely.
"What are you going to do with me?" Frentel asked in a quivering voice, "You don't own Inuyasha."
"I know I don't own Inuyasha, but you will help me do so," brisk33 explained, "You will help me locate the Shikon jewel."
"I...I can't detected the jewel," Frentel stammered, "I'm just your little sister."
"Well you'll learn," brisk33 firmly stated and Frentel quivered in fear.
Chapter Three: The Switch
'Bang, bang, bang' Mrs. Higurashi knocked against the door.
"You have school, wake up." She shouted.
A figure moved under the covers of the bed, but did not want to wake.
'What is that racket?' he thought. Waking up more fully, he pulled the covers from his face and gazed around the room, shock wiping all intelligible thoughts from his mind.
"Inuyasha!" Mrs. Higurashi yelled, "If you don't get up this instance I'm going to let Souta wake you up." Inuyasha shot straight up and promptly fell out the bed anime style. Thousands of questions flew through his mind.
'What am I doing here?' he thought, 'This is Kagome's room, but… it's different.' Gazing about the room, he realized that though it looked like Kagome's room the portraits on the walls, the ornaments on the dresser, the color of the bed spread, and several other aspects of the décor were all different.
"What the hell?" Inuyasha muttered as a small boy ran into the room and tackled him to the floor.
"I'm the wrestling champion of the world," Souta cried in delight while sitting on Inuyasha's chest. Inuyasha pushed him off and was so bewildered he didn't know what to do in response.
"Mom says you have to get ready for school." Souta said in a mocking voice, "I'm going to eat your pancakes if you don't hurry." He then left the room slamming the door behind him. Inuyasha stood dumbfounded to the spot. There was a mirror to his side and his own reflection caught his attention. He gazed more intensely and discovered that his sliver hair and golden eyes had failed to return with the sun.
"I'm human," he muttered to himself in complete shock while staring at his clawless hands, "What in the seven hells is going on?" Wanting to find an answer, Inuyasha searched the entire room for his usual attire, since he had woken in only boxers. All he could find, however, were several pairs of jeans and t-shirts. He pulled on a red t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. Intending on receiving some answers, he exited the room.
Inuyasha wandered down the hallway in search of the voices that he could barley hear. He scowled as he thought of how with his regular ears he could have heard exactly what was being said in the other room.
"Human's have such weak senses," he complained.
"Inuyasha!" Mrs. Higurashi called, "Are you ready for school yet?" Inuyasha entered the kitchen to find Mrs. Higurashi cooking up a storm, Souta devouring her concoctions, and Mr. Higurashi reading the morning paper.
"There you are dear," Mrs. Higurashi responded as she noticed him, "Sit down and have something to eat." Inuyasha really only wanted to get to the well and find out what was going on, but the smell of the pancakes caused his resolve to melt. He sat down at the table and began wolfing down the food in front of him.
"Pig," Souta insulted. Inuyasha stopped consuming breakfast and glared at the young boy.
"Souta leave your older brother alone," Ms. Higurashi retorted.
"Cough…cough," Inuyasha chocked at hearing himself being referred to as Souta's older brother.
"Well if you chewed your food that wouldn't happen," Souta mocked.
"Inuyasha, are you alright?" Mrs. Higurashi asked with immense concern. Managing to catch his breath, Inuyasha responded,
"I'm not his older brother." Mrs. Higurashi rolled her eyes and muttered something about sibling rivalries, and Mr. Higurashi looked up from his newspaper and stared at the two boys. Concern fled into Inuyasha,
'They think I'm there family, not Kagome,' He realized.
"Look," He began, "Something's wrong with you. I'm going to find Kagome." He stood up from the table and was about to make his way to the front door.
"I don't think so," Mrs. Higurashi said sternly with a scowl stretched across her face, "You have a test today and you're going to school." She stood in his path to the door. He considered pushing her aside, but didn't want to harm Kagome's mother.
"You don't understand," Inuyasha pleaded, "Something has happened. I shouldn't be here… be like this… Kagome should."
"What are you talking about?" Mr. Higurashi asked, slightly amused. Mrs. Higuarshi put her hand on Inuyasha's forehead.
"Nothing," she concluded, "He's just trying to get out of his test by faking delirium."
"No, I'm not," Inuyasha defended, but Mrs. Higurashi cut him off,
"I'm not that easily fooled honey. You're going to school. Now get moving." She held out a backpack for him. Inuyasha stared at the bag, then at the women holding it with disbelief.
"Now Inuyasha, please don't try my patience." Inuyasha reluctantly took the bag, he would go through the well when he got back if he couldn't go now.

'Damn test,' Inuyasha bickerly thought as he miserly left the classroom, 'I get why Kagome hates those things now.'
"Hey buddy," Hojo called and slapped Inuyasha on the back. Inuyasha stared at him for a moment.
'It's that Hobo guy Kagome's always with,' Inuyasha thought.
"Hi," he responded, wishing Hojo would leave him alone.
"How'd you do on the test?" Hojo asked, not sensing Inuyasha's desire to be left to himself. Inuyasha sighed in frustration at the realization that Hojo was not going to let him be.
"That bad, huh" Hojo responded, misreading Inuyasha's sigh.
"Well at least there is only one more block left," Hojo continued.
"Yeah," Inuyasha half-heartedly agreed, while looking for any excuse to leave the conversation.

"Oh my god!" Eri squealed, "Did you see Tria's new look?"
"Yeah, it was pretty lame," Yuka retorted.
"Hey, isn't that Higurashi Inuyasha?" Ayumi asked pointing down the hall at the dark haired Inuyasha.
"Yeah," Yuka answered.
"He's sooooo dreamy," Ayumi continued.
"You should go talk to him," Eri pushed, while literally pushing her towards Inuyasha.
"No, no, no," Ayumi squealed and attempted to stop Eri, "I wouldn't know what to say."
"How about Hi, I'm Ayumi and you're the sexiest thing to walk this earth," Yuka suggested and all three girls burst into fits of giggles.
---
The sounds of feverish giggles met Inuyasha and Hojo's ears.
'What are they laughing at?' Inuyasha wondered.
"Oh…it's Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka. I better leave you to it," Hojo joked and then swiftly left the scene. Inuyasha actually wished he had stayed; he didn't want to face the girls alone.
"Hi Inuyasha," Eri greeted as the girls approached him. Inuyasha looked for somewhere to escape to, but found no salvation.
"Hi," Inuyasha reluctantly responded.
"Hi," Ayumi stuttered. Eri and Yuka smiled knowingly and backed off just enough to let Ayumi be alone with Inuyasha, but not enough for Inuyasha to find a path of escape.
"Um…ah," Ayumi stammered, turning a deep shade of red and staring at the floor, "I was thinking…maybe…if you want…we could…um…maybe see a movie this Friday?" She looked up into Inuyasha's eyes in this last part. Inuyasha felt small and trapped, he widely searched around for any excuse not to respond. He wished he could be anywhere, but in that school at that moment.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter and please review. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.
