Chapter 1: The Switch.

Inuyasha sat beside Kagome silently, they were arguing again and this time it was because Kagome wanted to take them all to her place for a while. Nobody was actually crazy about the idea except for Miroku…he wanted to meet the 'people' of her time. By people he meant all of the girls though…and that didn't make Sango very happy. So now Miroku and Sango were in a fight.

"Sango!" Miroku called running after her to the lakeside, "Wait up!"

Sango turned her eyes narrowed, "What do you want?"

Miroku sighed and looked at her, "Why're you mad at me now?"

"Because all you care about is meeting a girl once then not seeing her ever again. It's like you don't even care that we're going out. At least when Inuyasha and Kagome go out they sometimes act like they mean it!"

"I act lik-," Miroku began.

"Trying to get me alone at night isn't acting like it," Sango said and sat down staring at the lake waters.

Miroku slowly sat by her, he messed up and he knew it. Now was the time to try to make peace with her. "Listen…you know how I care about you and you know I love you…I just don't know how to show it like other people do. Besides about going to Kagome's time just to meet girls, I was kidding about that. You know me I make stupid jokes…"

"More like hurtful," Sango said but starting to loosen up all the same, much to Miroku's relief.

Miroku sighed and slowly hugged her, "I will always love you, no other girl can take you away from me so don't worry."

Hugging back Sango smiled, "Ok I believe you."

Inuyasha looked at Kagome then looked away just as Kagome looked at him. This had been going on for a while and Shippo was watching. So far it looked like they were about to make up, because earlier they wouldn't even look at each other.

"I don't want to go to your time for a week," Inuyasha said.

"Why not?"

"Because I don't know a thing about there, it'll be weird for me and everyone else, just because you found a way to get us all to that time doesn't mean that you should have the right to boss us around."

"Well…if you come I promise that you can have a cup of instant ramen every day that we're there."

Inuyasha looked at her and stood, "What're we waiting for lets get going!"

Kagome smiled and stood wearing a long dress with flowers on it. Since school was out she wanted to spend her time wearing…partly normal clothes to this time. She looked around the house then outside seeing Miroku and Sango walking back arm in arm.

"Inuyasha…," she began her eyes growing wide.

Looking at Kagome Inuyasha blinked, "What is Miroku being normal and not flirting with each and every girl he sees?"

"That and…I sense a demon coming…"

Inuyasha quickly ran outside, "Miroku! Sango! Hurry up and come in there's a demon heading directly this way!"

Sango blinked and ran inside quickly getting into her armor, Miroku and Inuyasha outside waiting patiently for the attack to come. Neither were worried because they thought it'd be an average demon…they were wrong.

The demon walked in slowly, taking the form of a human. It's energy was still higher than ever though and the human body it took couldn't take it. The skin was beginning to melt off of it completely leaving nothing but bones when it melted away. People began running when they saw it horrified that they may be next.

Inuyasha seen this odd figure and charged toward it his sword out once more.

Miroku ran along side him, his staff out and ready.

The demon seen them and smiled ejecting from this human form nothing but a skeleton remaining. Landing he stood no higher than Inuyasha 3 large horns on its head. Large bloody fangs came from its mouth and its claws were huge looking about as big as its hand. He looked between Miroku and Inuyasha looking at the aura between the 2. Both were high and rising much to the demons pleasure. He wanted to have a little fun, as his eyes began changing colors rapidly.

Miroku suddenly felt pressure on his body as well as Inuyasha. The two groaned in agony then felt a white hot pain through their body then as quick as it began nothing. They looked around the demon gone then their eyes slowly fell on…themselves.

"Me…," Inuyasha said looking at his body...

Miroku gawked at his own then slowly looked at his hand seeing…claws then blinking he noticed he had a sword in his hand.

Inuyasha looked at himself noticing the staff in his hand. He almost cried out when he realized that he was mortal.

It slowly began to dawn on them that they were not themselves. The demon had tricked them and they had switch bodies.

They quickly ran into the forest,

(Now since they switched bodies when Inuyasha talks he's in Miroku's body and vice versa)

"How did this happen?" Inuyasha roared looking at his body.

"I-I don't know…I remember feeling like my body was being pressed down then a pain then…next thing I knew I was in your body. I must say though I enjoy these dog ears," Miroku said smiling playing with the dog ears on top of his head.

"Yeah I like them t-THAT'S NOT THE POINT! We've switched bodies and we have to keep this hidden from the girls or they'll flip," Inuyasha said picking up an ofuda (Japanese Talisman of sorts)

Miroku nodded, "So I have to act like you, cranky, pigheaded, and…in love with Kagome…" Miroku said slowly images of finally telling Sango how he felt long gone.

"I have to act perverted, calm and…in love with Sango!" Inuyasha cried and sighed his own images of Kagome gone completely.

The two sighed once more and trudged back to the house. "Well the demon got away," Miroku grumbled and sat down against the wall much like Inuyasha did.

"Indeed…," Inuyasha said sitting down with his/Miroku's staff.

The two had separate feelings for each of the girls and this would only complicate things. They had to adapt to each others feelings and motions and they had to do it fast.

"So…that means another trip?" Kagome asked home seeming far away now.

Inuyasha snorted and nodded, "Of course it does!"

Sango and Kagome did a double take looking at Miroku not used to him bursting with emotion that quickly.

Miroku slapped a forehand to his head which got a stare towards his way. Miroku stood and walked outside muttering, "I need some air."

Inuyasha muttered something to himself that sounded a lot like 'sure leave me in here with 2 suspicious girls.'

"You two are acting odd…," Sango said and sat down besides Inuyasha.

Kagome nodded and sat down also and looked at Inuyasha, "Yeah why is that Miroku?"

Inuyasha looked around nervously, "I don't know what you 2 are talking about."

"Come on you 2 are acting odd and you know it," Sango said and slowly kissed his cheek. "You know…if you tell me you may get a kiss on the lips too," Sango said knowing Miroku always broke down after she used that.

Inuyasha sighed, "There's nothing going on," he said and stood up walking out leaving the 2 alone.

"Maybe there's really nothing going on, you know how those 2 get when they lose miserably against a demon," Kagome suggested staring at the door.

"Yeah maybe…but I doubt it I'm going to find out exactly what it is…," Sango said. "Miroku normally would have spilled his guts to get a kiss from me…you don't think its another girl do you?"

Kagome shook her head, "No he'd die to have you with him before he let anyone else…I think there's more to them battling this demon and losing than what meets the eye."

Miroku sat in a tree silently, high up in the branches. He could see how Inuyasha did this to think. With everyone so far down he could easily think. Looking at the clouds he sighed, he hated doing this to the 2 but knew he had to. He just couldn't seem to get used to Inuyasha's attitude. That was his problem and basically everything else Inuyasha did.

"Sit!" Kagome called as Miroku came crashing down through the branches landing face first.

He sat up, "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" he bellowed not used to this yet…or anything else.

"Good to see your back to normal then," Kagome said and smiled hugging him. "I was worried at first when you walked out."

Miroku hugged back, "There's nothing to worry about it's been a long day I just want some time to be alone and think."

"Ok Inuyasha," Kagome said and walked back in the house, "I didn't get anything out of him either."

Sango sighed and looked outside Miroku sitting by the lake side.

Inuyasha sighed and looked at his now human body. There was no way he could get used to this…being a human AND Miroku was to much. But he knew he'd have to bare…for now anyway. He looked at his staff and spun it quickly, the technique not to much different than his sword. As he looked out at the water he knew this journey would be deadlier and more dangerous to the girls and themselves than any before them.
