GOMEN NASAI MINNA! I've had A LOT of work at school (I'm a freshie in sophmore and junior classes), so cut me a little slack, mmk? So here's the next installment of Hyouhen! By the way, I've decided to just call everyone by their real names, instead to doing something complicated. Just remember who's in who's body (Inuyasha and Kagome, Sango and Miroku, Kaede and Shippo).

Everyone settled down, Sango sitting next to Miroku so she could beat him whenever he tried to feel her body out, Shippo next to Kaede, shooting death glares at her as she did back flips in his body, and Kagome next to Inuyasha, attempting to keep him from trying to take on all of Japan to find out who did this. "First things first everyone," Kagome began, "we can't let anyone know about any of this. The villagers would panic if they knew something had happened to you Kaede, and I don't think they'd be too keen on the idea of an inexperienced girl being the only thing in-between them and utter destruction from invading demons…Speaking of which Inuyasha, you're going to have to teach me how to do some of your attacks. I'm not used to this body."

"Yes," Sango replied, "We will all have to coach each other so we understand how we are supposed to act in our current bodies." She shot a glare to Miroku, who was trying to discreetly look down the front of her kimono. He faked innocence when he saw her glare.

"I WANT MY BODY BACK NOW DAMMIT!" Inuyasha and Shippo screamed at the same time, both rushing (or in Shippo's case, hobbling as fast as Kaede's legs could take him) for the door.

Kagome stood, grabbing Shippo's ponytail as he tried to hobble away and shouted, "OSUWARI!" Everything went silent for a minute, and no one moved.

Inuyasha grinned evilly, and turned his head slowly towards Kagome, before speaking quietly, "Osuwari." Kagome face-planted into the ground, an almost inaudible "itai" rising up from where she lay. "YES!" Inuyasha screamed, jumping up and down and currently forgetting he was wearing Kagome's short skirt. Sango proceeded to smack Miroku when she saw where his eyes strayed to, and Inuyasha continued to jump up and down in excitement, "There ARE some perks to this! WOOO!"

Kagome growled, dragging herself up. "Inu-"

"OSUWARI!"

And once again, Kagome became acquainted with the ground which, coincidently, did not want to be her friend.

In a tree in the woods overlooking Kaede's hut, two children laughed. "This is funny, Mai-chan!" Kai giggled happily, all the while eating something that looked remarkable like it used to be a villager's leg…

Mai snickered along with him, "See? I told you I din't mess up! Well, except for Obaa-san and the kitsune, but that made it funnier, ne?" She paused to wipe the blood off a corner of her black haori, throwing down a humorous bone (for those who don't know anatomy, that's what's referred to as someone's "Funny bone," but it's not in the least bit funny when you hit it)onto the bloody pile of clothes that apparently DID used to belong to one of the villagers.

Kai nodded, his mouth full, and they turned to watch the show unfold a little more.

After a few minutes, Inuyasha finally let Kagome up, mostly because he was laughing too hard to osuwari her anymore. Sango and Miroku had to physically restrain her from killing her own body, but eventually things calmed down…with the exception of Shippo, who was chasing Kaede, who was STILL doing flips in Shippo's body…

Ignoring those two, the rest of the group agreed to coach each other on their respective mannerisms and attacks. And so, the group settled into some semblance of normalcy, until…

"Oh SHIT! I promised Mom I'd come back home and go to school today!"

Again, gomen nasai for the long wait. I'm not sure how long you'll have to wait again, but pweeze review! That might give me incentive to go faster! In the next chapter, Inuyasha has to go to the future and pretend to be Kagome, not just with her family, but at her school as well! And what new surprises will happen to the rest of the gang in the Feudal era while he's gone! And the gang might just meet Mai and Kai (I haven't quite decided on this one yet…). Anywho, pleeze review!And congrats to those who found the Hitchhiker's Guide reference in this!
