Disclaimer: You know it, I know it, and everybody else in the whole wide world knows it, so why do I have to say it. I won't and you can't make me. (suddenly attacked by numerous lawyers armed with bunches of broccoli and cauliflower) AHHHHHHHH (runs away) NO NO NO NO NO! Not the evil afro veggies!...Fine I confess! I don't own Inuyasha. (Lawyers disperse) Whew! That was close (author faints).

Chapter 6: Let's Get Together

A/N: This is an update. The story hasn't changed, I just changed a few words all thanks to the wonderful sakura sama. I don't think I'll update the other chapters (too lazy) but I plan to use the words here and for the rest of the chapter.

Inuyasha(Souta) and gang could do nothing but stare at the shocking, maybe even disturbing scene just outside Kaede's hut.

It was a dog. A big, huge, fluffy dog lying on his back and pawing at the air while twisting side to side with his tongue lolling out of the side of his mouth. All the village children and some of the women are fondling the dog, which causes him to swish his tail back and forth, effectively knocking over a house and a few bystanders. This only makes the women and children squeal in delight.

Inuyasha(Souta) decides he wants to pet the dog as well and runs to join the women and children in fondling the great beast. "Hey, you idiot! Get back here," Shippo(Inuyasha) shouts chasing after him, "You'll get my filthy brother's scent all over my body!" No sooner is that said than Shippo(Inuyasha) is smacked on the head with Jaken's Staff(Name?) by Kaede.

"Filthy, ungrateful Kitsune! How dare you insult Lord Sesshomaru! Even smothered in dirt and filthy human hands he smells better than you!" Kaede continues to rant and rave at the confused Shippo(Inuyasha) while waving the staff around. In the background a loud THWACK! Is heard as Miroku(Kohaku) knocks out Sango(Miroku) for feeling up his sister's body. Kagome(Sesshomaru) watches Kaede with a bored expression, and comes to the conclusion that the old lady is acting much like Jaken.

"Jaken," she shouts and Kaede(Jaken) turns, "Be quiet." Kaede(Jaken)'s jaw drops at the audacity of this female human and is about to reprimand her when the kitsune yells back, "Stay out of this Sesshomaru. I don't need you're help in fighting the old hag."

"hn," was Kagome(Sesshomaru)'s reply as he turned and headed for his demon form.

Kaede(Jaken) just stands there and slowly processes this information. Suddenly he realizes that his master is in that body and chases after Kagome(Sesshomaru)'s retreating form, "Wait for me master Sesshomaru. Please forgive this lowly servant for not keeping a better eye on you're body."

Sango(Miroku) wakes up and looks to his body, "May I ask as to why I was punished this time"

"You know why." Miroku(Kohaku) glared back at him.

"I'm afraid I am at a loss"

"You were feeling up my sister's body…again!" He shouted in frustration,

"Ah, I'm afraid you misunderstand, Kohaku, I was merely attempting to satisfy an itch"

Miroku(Kohaku) gave him a disbelieving look before grabbing his collar and dragging him to Sesshomaru's demon form, who by now had rolled over onto his stomach and was watching everyone approach.

Miroku(Kohaku) dropped Sango(Miroku) upon his approach and asked, "Why is there a dog demon in the middle of the village and why is it so…docile."

Sango(Miroku), who was now sitting Indian style on the ground, spoke up, "It is my guess that this is Sesshomaru's body," Kagome(Sesshomaru) slightly nodded at this, "and that whoever is in his body is unable to effectively control his demonic powers to take on a human form."

Kagome(Sesshomaru) made no move to approve or disapprove this theory, but stood silently observing his body as it laid there and watched him.

Sesshomaru(Kagome) had watched as her body and friends approached and was shocked when Inuyasha started petting her. 'That must mean someone else is in his body too, because Inuyasha would never touch his brother. Much less pet him.' She was still trying to figure out how to change into a human form again. It was quite by accident that she transformed.

:FLASHBACK(from Kagome's POV):

Rin(Shippo), Jaken(Kouga)and I had just arrived at Kaede's village when the villager's began running and screaming, "Demon! Demon! A Demon has come to attack the village!" At this point Kaede had stepped out of her hut, somewhat bleary eyed from just having woke up. Upon seeing me she woke up and began running towards me, but stopped suddenly when she saw Jaken(Kouga). She then looked at herself and then back at Jaken(Kouga).Then she took a fighting stance and pointed a wrinkly finger at Jaken(Kouga).

"Whoever you are return my body at once," she exclaimed. That's when I realized that Jaken was in Kaede's body.

"You can have you're useless body. It's not like I chose to take it," Jaken(Kouga) replied.

At this point Kaede(Jaken) Became infuriated and started ranting at Jaken(Kouga) who just ranted right back at him. I was getting very tired and angry at them as their arguing wasn't solving our current dilemma. That's when I felt it. Some sort of power pulsating in the recess of Sesshomaru's mind. Curiosity overtook my anger and I tapped into the power.

Suddenly I was overcome by immense demonic powers and couldn't stop their flow into Sesshomaru's body. The Tensaiga(sp?) at my side was pulsating, trying to tell me something but I was unable to understand what. I slowly felt my consciousness ebb away as Sesshomaru's body transformed, but before I was completely swallowed by the demonic powers, the Tensaiga gave off an eerie glow and I came back to full consciousness. I think it was trying to protect me. The transformation completed and I realized I was in Sesshomaru's demon form and no idea how to get back. Jaken(Kouga) and Rin(Shippo) had run for cover in Kaede's hut while Kaede(Jaken) was standing there praising me on my wonderful powers and such. I took to ignoring him.

The villagers who were armed stared at me in fear so I decided to play my role and be a dog. I really didn't want them to be afraid of me. I rolled onto my back and playfully kicked my three paws in the air. Then I looked to some of the village children and began to whimper and wiggle my body. At first they were frightened but a few brave souls came up to me and began petting my fur. Kaede(Jaken) began to shout and complain, but he went unheard as more people came up to pet me. I gave out a low contented growl and licked a woman near my head. She gave a gasp of surprise and was covered in dog slobber. All the others laughed and soon I was swarmed by the village woman and children while the men just stood on the sides in confusion and shock with forgotten weapons either in their hands or by their feet.

It wasn't so bad being a dog, but I couldn't talk and it's rather difficult to move with only three legs.

:END FLASHBACK:

Sesshomaru(Kagome) hadn't meant to become a demon but she found it rather unnerving to find herself staring at her, well actually more like glaring. Deciding she had had enough and wanting to lighten the mood. Sesshomaru(Kagome) leaned toward herself. 'Whoever is in my body be prepared. No one glares at me and gets away with it.' Slowly she got closer until her nose was almost touching her body and then in one quick movement she stuck out her big tongue and gave her body one huge, slobbery lick that left her body completely drenched. Kagome(Sesshomaru) was shocked, no he was appalled that whoever was in his body would degrade himself to such a level as to lick a human! He glared at himself.

"How dare you disgrace this Sesshomaru!" he stated coolly.

Amusement danced in Sesshomaru(Kagome)'s eyes. 'So Sesshomaru's in my body, and I'm in his. This could be fun.' Sesshomaru(Kagome) looked at her body as if to say 'What are you gonna do about it' and then turned to Inuyasha's body and gave him a huge, slobbery lick too.

Inuyasha(Souta) scrunched up his face in disgust, "Ewwww. Now I have to take a bath. Just great." Rin(Shippo) and Jaken(Kouga) came out and saw the whole scene. Upon seeing Inuyasha get drenched, Jaken(Kouga) smirked, "Whats wrong dog boy, can't handle a little lick from my woman."

Shippo(Inuyasha) jumped at this and yelled, "What do you mean you're woman, Jaken?" Kouga glared at the little kitsune, "My name isn't Jaken. It's Kouga leader of the Wolf tribe," he declared puffing up his chest in pride, "And that demon is my woman, Kagome."

Rin(Shippo) came up to his body and inspected it thoughtfully, "Inuyasha? Is that you in my body!"

"Feh. What's it to ya, runt!" Shippo(Inuyasha) declared folding his arms.

"Nothing it, just seems, weird." Rin(Shippo) declared somewhat dejectedly.

Sesshomaru(Kagome) decided that she was rather tired being a demon and began using a claw to somewhat write in the dirt. Everyone caught her movement and looked to see what she was doing. Sango(Miroku) walked up beside her and began to read, "How….Do…..I….Change…..Back?" They all looked up at her just as confused and equally lost as to how to fix her problem except Kagome(Sesshomaru).

He cleared his throat and all attention was drawn to him, "Now listen carefully wench, as I'll only explain this once." Sesshomaru(Kagome) nodded and put her full attention on her body that was still standing in the same place as before, "You must focus on controlling the demon power running through your body. Once you have control you must slowly mold it and draw it together in one spot. Then you must push it back into the furthest recess of your mind where it belongs."

Sesshomaru(Kagome) nodded and closed her eyes to concentrate. Soon she realized that the demon powers were already being somewhat controlled by Tensaiga. Working together she was able to complete the task as Sesshomaru described it. When she was finished she opened her eyes to discover that Sesshomaru's body was back in its human form.

Everyone watched as Sesshomaru(Kagome)'s body began to glow and shift back into a humanoid form. Once the transformation was complete, Sesshomaru(Kagome) checked herself out, upon her discovery of success she jumped up and began to dance around, "Yeah! I did it! I'm no longer a dog! Yeah!"

"Wench," Kagome(Sesshomaru) growled, "You will do well not to make a fool of this Sesshomaru while your in my body."

Sesshomaru(Kagome) stopped and turned to him, "Well, excuse me! It's not like I chose to be in your body. I only wished…" suddenly Sesshomaru(Kagome) stopped as realization dawned on her. She wasn't sure how or why but somehow her wish to be emotionless like Sesshomaru put her in Sesshomaru. But how do explain everyone else being switched?

Inuyasha(Souta) looked at his sister concerned, "Hey sis, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."

"Souta?" Sesshomaru(Kagome) asked a little shocked that he was here too.

"Yeah it's me. Now what's Wrong?"

Sesshomaru(Kagome) bit her lower lip as she thought. (A/N: if you get tired of me constantly doing the whole body(mind) thing, let me know and I'll just put one of them down). In the silence another THWACK was heard as Sango(Miroku) was once again knocked unconscious and everyone sweatdropped. Sesshomaru(Kagome) looked at everyone who had now gathered around in a circle. She shifted nervously, "Ah..hehe…um I ….uh I ..think this whole…uh mess.. might…bemyfault!" she stated lowering Sesshomaru's bangs over his face to hide her embarrassment. Everyone sat still as they digested this. Shippo(Inuyasha) was the first to react, "WHAT! What do you mean your fault? What did you do wench?"

Sesshomaru(Kagome) became angry and felt the demon powers begin to react. She calmed herself some and got them under control before heatedly replying, "My name is not wench. It's Kagome. Get it through your thick skull. This is as much your fault as mine. If you didn't go chasing after Kikyo all the time, we wouldn't be in this mess!" By now she was standing and shouting at the little form of the kitsune. Her eyes were flashing red every so often as she fought to stay in control.

"Don't blame Kikyo for your own mistakes. She isn't as clumsy as you"

By now Sesshomaru(Kagome) was boiling and did the only thing she could think of, "SIT!" WHAM! The forgotten prayer beads around Shippo(Inuyasha)'s neck lit up and smashed his small body into the dirt and everyone just sat there in complete silence. Some were confused while other's were shocked. There silence stayed until all of the sudden a loud, dark voice shouted, "SESSHOMARU-SAMA!"

Everyone turned just in time to see Naraku burst through the trees and run straight into Sesshomaru(Kagome) pulling her into a tight embrace, "Sesshomaru-sama, Rin missed you so much." Soon Naraku(Rin) was chatting away to a bewildered Sesshomaru(Kagome) and everyone else was in a state of double shock. Shortly after Naraku(Rin) came Kagura, Kanna, and Kohaku. Soon everyone recognized their nemesis and went into fighting stances, or tried to.

Sesshomaru(Kagome) was busy trying to pry off an overly animated Naraku(Rin) who was retelling every single thing she saw while traveling here.

Kagome(Sesshomaru) went to pull out his sword only to discover it wasn't there. Then he began to look for the bow and arrows he always sees the girl carrying.

Shippo(Inuyasha) after recovering went to do much the same thing only to discover that he too was without his sword and took up a hand-to-hand combat fighting stance.

Sango(Miroku) lifted up hirakotsu to throw it only to realized he had no idea how to use it and set it back down.

Inuyasha(Souta) didn't know that this guy was dangerous and was just watching with amusement as his sister struggled to pull free.

Miroku(Kohaku) considered the wind tunnel but remembered the wasps, so he clutched Miroku's staff in determination to fight his best.

Rin(Shippo) realized he wasn't of much use and ran to hide in the bushes.

Jaken(Koga) took up a hand-to-hand combat fighting stance in front of Sesshomaru(Kagome) to try and protect 'his woman'.

Kaede(Jaken) put his staff over his head to prepare to fight should something happen.

Kirara had already fully transformed and Ah Un were beside her also ready to fight in a moments notice.

Kagura(Sango) and Kohaku(Kagura) stayed back as Kanna(Kaede) came forward with her hands behind her back, "We mean ye no harm children, now calm down before ye do something ye will regret. If ye wish to fix this problem it will require us all to be alive."

Everyone relaxed at this understanding and sat down to establish who was who and once again contemplate their problem. After introductions Sesshomaru(Kagome) turned to Kanna(Kaede), "Kaede, I believe in some inexplicable way, that this problem might be, in some way, my fault."

"And why is that,child," came the distant sounding reply.

"Because I remember last night that I was…thinking and I openly wished that I could be more like Sesshomaru and now look. I'm not like him, I am him! Maybe someone granted the wish or something."

Kanna(Kaede) thought about this, as did everyone else.

Inuyasah(Souta) broke the silence, "I remember making a wish last night too. I wished I could be like Inuyasha, but I don't see how that will solve our problem, unless you can unwish wishes."

"He does have a point," Sango(Miroku) stated, "Rather than look for the cause and lay blame let us try an find a solution. If this was brought about by a wish, maybe there's a way to make another wish to put it all back together." Many of them nodded in agreement to this.

"A wish to unwish," Sesshomaru(Kagome) speculated, "How do you make a wish that will be granted?"

Kagome(Sesshomaru) calmly replied, "One must wish on something for it to be granted." It was stated as if it was something everyone should know and if you didn't than you're an idiot.

There was silence..........

"Look what Rin found in her pocket!" Naraku(Rin) proudly exclaimed as she held up half of the Shikon Jewel. Then everyone got an idea, but Rin(Shippo) was the first to voice everyone's thoughts, "If we finished the Shikon no Tama, we could make a wish on it to fix everything." Everyone nodded in agreement and it was agreed that they work together to find the missing shards. Sesshomaru(Kagome) traded Naraku(Rin) a pretty rock and some hair clips for the Shikon and melded it to the piece she had around her neck. The jewel was now ¾ complete. Then she looked up at everyone, "I think this is a great idea, but before we head out on some great adventure I might like to point out that not all of us are as equipped as we used to be. I mean look at me. I'm Sesshomaru, but I don't know a thing about how to use these demon powers. I turned myself into a dog for cryin' out loud."

Sango(Miroku) nodded, "I believe that is an excellent idea, Lady Kagome. I myself found myself defenseless when I was unable to use hirakotsu." He then made to move his hand to his heart as though in despair but instead ended up grabbing his breast, SMACK! THWACK! Kagura(Sango) smacked him and Miroku(Kohaku) knocked him unconscious. Kohaku(Kagura) spoke up, "I am still able to use my fan and ,in fact, woke up with it. It isn't necessary for all of us to learn new techniques."

Kanna(Kaede) nodded to this and stated, "So it seems. Miroku can use his staff and Kohaku can use the wind tunnel and his kusarigama. Sango can keep her hirakotsu and work on training the body she is in. Sesshomaru will teach Kagome how to adequately defend herself especially if you hope to get you're body back," Kagome(Sesshomaru)'s only reply was a 'Hn', "Inuyasha will teach Kagome's brother also how to defend himself in his body and how to use Tetsaiga. Rin I believe is safe for now. Jaken can keep his staff but should he harm my body he will live to regret it. Shippo and Kouga will just have to work with what they have."

By the time all was agreed upon, the sun was setting. Everyone prepared and settled down for the night, waiting to see what tomorrow would bring.

A/N: Yay. Another chapter! Tell me what you think. I love input. Now here's a question for all you readers, where oh where do you think our lovely Kanna went? You might find out later if I feel up to it, but for now one can only guess. Next chapter will be up as soon as I find the down time between school. I'm also still working on 'Torture Naraku' ideas. So far I have chores, math test, school dance(I don't like dancing), and a visit to the dentist for a cavity…(gasp) oh my! Spelling and editing corrections are good too. If any one knows the name of Jaken's, please tell me? I need input on how in the world am I suppose decided whether to uses he or her when referring to such people as Sesshomaru(kagome) and Naraku(rin). The bodies are male but the mind isn't. What to do, what to do. Please review and avoid haunted toilets. Ja ne.

Sakura sama: Thankyou for your help. I really appreciate it. As for Sesshomaru, I kinda figured he knew archery too. That's why no one is teaching him anything. In the story he was trying to find them because I don't know where they are. I don't know so he doesn't know. The bow and arrows may just magically appear or something. I'm going with the unconsciously misplaced for now. Thanks much.
