Kagome decides that she wants to try something new, something exciting…like changing genders for one! Yep, after strapping down her breast and dressing as a boy, and even cutting her hair! She looks pretty much like a guy! But can she fool the others? Chaning her name to Dante, she goes to find out...What? Inuyasha…LIKES DANTE! WTF!

Chapter 6: The Secret Unfolds

Later that day at camp, the new "guy" in the group, Dante, was happily leaning back against a tree reading a small book to pass the time away. After the hot springs incident, she decided not to wear white tank tops so much as she wanted to. She had changed into some new baggy blue jeans with various zippers on the legs. She had bought a black shirt from Hot Topic the other day, so she decided to see how that would work. The others, especially…well, maybe only, Inuyasha was watching him carefully. That incident at the hot springs made Inuyasha think hard about his sexuality, but soon after throwing the thought of him being gay, he now thought this Dante guy was the one who was gay! But it also seemed to somehow wash, yes wash, his scent off. It smelled almost like Kagome, yet there was still some of that axe smell stuff. He kept trying to sift through that smell to find out his real scent, but no good.

Kagome smiled as she closed the book she was just reading, 'Man, that Harry Pot head guy sure can get into a lot of danger every minute…' He giggled slightly to herself then looked up at her companions. Miroku was pestering Sango, trying to talk her into only God knows what. This would be a job for Kagome to take Sango and head for the hot springs, but how could she save her best friend in this outfit? Dante sighed as he looked over at Inuyasha who, he could have sworn, seen turn red and look away. Dante shrugged as he looked back to Sango and Miroku.

"Eh!" Dante jumped up and ran to Sango then caught her hand, about to pummel the poor monk. With another sigh, he let go of her hand. "Hey, you wanna go for a walk?" Kagome asked Sango in her deep guy voice.

Sango looked up at the newcomer, trying to see why he would ask such a thing. But looking to Miroku who was in total shock, probably jealous more like it, and then looking to Inuyasha, who also seemed shocked yet…kind of disappointed. Sango looked back to Dante, smiled then nodded. "Okay, let's go." Sango stood up and looked to the other guys.

"We'll be back soon, don't move." Dante quickly said as she linked arms with Sango and quietly walked into the forest, leaving behind a growling hanyou and a stunned monk.

Once the two were far enough away from the rowdy guys, Kagome stopped walking and let go of her friend. "Hey Sango…I have a question." Still using her manly man voice, Kagome smiled down at her friend.

"What is it Dante?" For some reason, Sango knew she could trust him. It was something about him…but she couldn't quite put her finger on it, so she decided to let it slide for now until she knew more about Dante.

Kagome grinned, 'Even Sango is still fooled. Man! Am I good at this or what!' Dante reached his hand up and took a hold of Sango's ever so gently, "I have been wondering…" Slowly Dante lowered himself down onto one knee.

Sango couldn't believe her eyes, what in the world was he doing! A proposal! She couldn't move, she just stared down at Dante as she continued to listen to him.

"Sango…" Inside Kagome was cracking up. She knew when it came to romance, Sango had skipped a few chapters, so she wondered what she would do if this would ever happen. And she found that her hypothesizes were true. "...Would you…become my wife?" Kagome couldn't keep it in much longer. She stared up at Sango's face, which was twisted into what seemed many emotions. She was scared, shocked, angry, confused, and just down right freaked out. But no one, well besides the lecher and that prince, had ever asked her something like this! And just so suddenly! She's only known this guy for like a day! How could he even ask her such a thing!

As her friend began to freak out, Dante couldn't hold it in…she let go of Sango's hands, holding onto her own stomach, fell over and laughed, almost to death.

"Eh." Sango raised an eyebrow. Was that just a trick?...Why that dirty cocky bastard! 'I'll teach him some manners for tricking a girl like that!' Just as Sango was about to kick the living hell out of the laughing "boy," Dante raised her arms and tried to stop.

"Wa-wa-wait!" She yelled between laughs. Sango lowered her leg and folded her arms roughly across her chest, obviously not seeing the same humor in this situation as Dante did.

After a few deep breaths, Kagome held a hand over her chest and looked up at her long time friend, "It's me Sango." Kagome's voice was no longer deep and rough like the boy she now hide behind. Her voice was back to normal to show Sango it was really her.

Sango gasped. Wh...Kagome? But how? That's Dante, not Kagome. She stood there in complete and utter shock.

Realizing she didn't really see, Kagome stood back up then dusted herself off. She tried to think of what she could do to prove that she was Kagome. "Ask me any question and it'll prove that I'm Kagome."

Sango eyed this stranger carefully, maybe it was a demon in disguise, you never know. "What is my brother's name?"

"Kohaku." She simply said with a smile.

"…That's right. Eh, if you're really Kagome, what happened to your hair? Kagome's was down to her back."

Kagome sighed as she thought back to that memory, "I cut it. A lot."

"Then…if you're Kagome, who is a girl, where are your breast?" She asked with a blush on her face. If this was really a guy, she would totally kick herself to death.

Kagome smiled as she lifted up the black shirt she had on to reveal a big tan-colored wrap across her chest. Sango didn't understand. Kagome sighed, "I put this on to hold back my breast, ya know, so I'd look like a guy instead of a guy with breast, yeah…" Kagome mentally slapped herself for saying such a thing. She was slightly embarrassed, but she didn't care. Sango would understand her reasons for doing these things, she was her best friend after all.

Sango blinked, this really was Kagome. But why in the world did she do all these things? "Okay…But, Kagome, why?" She was still so confused. Maybe this was a tradition in her time or something, but whatever it was, Sango definitely did not want to take part in it.

Kagome chuckled to herself as she pulled her black shirt back down and straightened it out. "You of all people shouldn't ask that question." She let out another chuckle until she plopped down on the soft grass and laid out, stretching her lips knowing that she was alone with her best friend, who now knew her secret.

The taijya still didn't understand, "What do you mean by that?" She took a seat next to the cross dressing teen. Slowly, she pulled her legs up to meet her chest, letting her chin lay between both of her knees. Her hands found each other after she wrapped her arms around her legs, making sure the vine green material of her yukata stayed put down, not to show off any of her ahem privacy parts.

Her eyes drifted shut before letting out another chuckle mixed with a grunt, "C'mon Sango. You and I both know that…well, I have no body. You're the only girl here with a body wanted by guys, maybe even girls, but that's a different story. Maybe I would fit in there. Oh, but I'm digressing."

Sango's head tilted in her knees as she listened to her friend, "You have no body? Of course you do Kagome, and believe me, it's a good body at that!" She sounded cheerful and confident in her words.

Kagome just shook her head, "No I don't. I mean…I can understand Miroku liking me, but, he'd probably take an ugly girl just so long as she had legs or something he could touch."

Sango rolled her eyes, "He'd probably take anything that could move…Eh, but that doesn't make you unattractive Kagome. Houshi-sama…of course he's attractive to women, pretty women at that…he…" She let out a sigh as she trailed off, "Enough about him, we're talking about you. Let's get one thing straight, you do have a body liked by gu-"

But Kagome cut her off with another chuckle, "So what. Maybe a few guys do like my body…it's not like they like the personality that goes with it. If they do like my body, it's probably only to take advantage of me or something. That's what all guys wan-"

It was Sango's turn to cut off her distraught friend, "Kagome…Where is all this coming from? I mean, I'm glad you came to me to talk about this, but…I've never heard you so down. It's not you." She straightened up, reaching a hand over and laying it on her friend's shoulder.

Kagome's eyes fell onto her friend's hand and she sighed. "…So maybe I do have a good body…And so what if guys like it…Guys, but…The one guy that matters…doesn't."

Sango stared at Kagome, letting her hand drop fro her shoulder back to her lap. Now she understood, it all makes sense now. Kagome wasn't upset about her not being liked by guys, she was upset about not being liked by…him.

------------- To The Guys -------------

Miroku stay where he was, eyes still wide. 'She…she went with him…alone…'

Inuyasha was no where to be found on the ground…of course, considering he was up in a tree, a hellish look in his eyes, 'That damn bastard! He went with her alone!'
