Chapter Sixteen: Pink and Lime Green
TT
The party of four began to leave to go to the room Kagome's family was in. Officer Freely was left stupefied by the conversation he had been left out of. Sango was really Kagome and Miroku was really Inuyasha? And Sango…or Kagome wasn't really pregnant? Did he miss something here? Seeing the group he was interrogating in his mind begin to walk off, he stepped in.
"Now wait just a darn-tooting second!" They all turned back around to face him. "Do you kids really think I'll let you get away with tricking an officer of law? Speeding reckless down the road. Making me think you were an expectant couple in dire need of assistance. Tricking me into escorting you to the hospital just so you could gossip about people with your friends."
"Well actually we never tricked you into escorting us," Inuyasha piped up. "You kinda just… forced yourself on us…"
The officer ignored him. "You made me think I was helping bring a new life to this world. And I—" He stopped to take in a shaky breath, his eyes brimming with tears. "I thought you'd name your kid after me cause I was so helpful!" He broke into sobs. "Now the world will never know I.P. Freely!"
"He does what now?" Miroku asked Sango sceptically. She just shrugged.
"Iota Poe Freely!" A harsh loud voice sounded throughout the waiting room. Everyone looked over to see a tall, skinny lady with straggly light brown hair and an abnormally large nose trudge over to them, not looking all too happy.
"Where have you been?!" She asked Officer Freely. "I have been searching high and low for you mister. Your office said you had gone on an important mission and that lives were at stake. How was I supposed to know whether or not you were all right? And throughout all this life saving you couldn't once answer your cell phone?!"
"Left it in my car, my apologies my little pickle jar."
"Oh don't you little pickle jar me!"
"What kind of a nickname is pickle jar?" Miroku asked his three companions.
"You know you're supposed to pick up Michelle from his ballet practice don't you?"
"His ballet practice?" Miroku was just plain confused.
"Uhh, of course I did snuccums. In fact, I was just leaving to go get him right now. Why don't you go wait out in my police car and we'll drive out there together hm?"
The woman looked sceptical for a moment. "Well… I suppose…" Her expression turned soft, making many wrinkles on her face visible. "Oh, how can I stay mad at you mustard bottle? How about when we get to your big old car you can show me how sorry you really are…" She winked at him before departing.
"Eww… now that was just gross," said Sango.
"My poor ears!" said Kagome.
"Mustard bottle? What is wrong with these people?"
Officer Freely turned to face them again. "I'm not through with you kids yet. I'd appreciate it if you'd wait right here until I return. I should be back around tomorrow morning… gotta handle my family first… toodle-loo!" He skipped his way out the door.
"That was um interesting…" said Inuyasha. "Well we better get going."
They began their way down the corridor towards the unnamed room holding Kagome's family, one after the other with Sango in the lead. Suddenly, out of no where, Kagome froze causing both Inuyasha and Miroku to slam into her. They all fell with a thump on to the tiled floor.
"Why the hell did you stop?" Inuyasha bellowed at Kagome, picking himself off the ground.
"Inuyasha keep your voice down. This is a hospital," warned Sango.
"Inuyasha? I think we have another problem," said Kagome looking over at him as she stood up. "When I told my mom I was staying with you, I didn't exactly tell the truth. More of a white lie. Because of all the bad comments I've said about you in the past, she isn't too fond of you believe it or not."
"What exactly did you tell her?"
"That you were a new girl named Inuyashiya."
"What?!"
"Oh and you have a phobia of hospitals because of a traumatizing experience when your were a little girl. It's amazing what I think up when put on the spot."
"It's fascinating."
"So what are we gunna do about… well… you being a guy?"
"What you want me to get a sex change?"
"Well…"
"Sorry Kagome," Sango said. "You have to book months a head for that kind of thing. We can just head over to the children's playroom and pick out a 'lovely' dress for him to wear out of their dress-up box. It's only two rooms away."
Before Inuyasha could protest, he was already being dragged down the hall and into the second room down. Miroku just followed everyone else.

"No! Uh-uh! There is no way in hell I'm going out in public wearing this!" Inuyasha stood in front of his friends and a few on looking children, wearing a bright pink dress covered in large sunflowers, a pair of old black high heels, and to top it all off a woven sun hat with a big pink flower on it to cover his ears.
"Oh Inuyasha, my family isn't really public now is it? They won't even recognize you."
Inuyasha growled in response. "You are gunna pay big time for this."
Miroku looked his best friend over, his hand rubbing his chin in thought. "You know Inuyasha," he began. "I really think pink suits you! You should wear it more often. And the golden colour of those huge sunflowers your sporting really bring out the colour in your eyes!"
This caused Inuyasha to sink into more growling and glaring. "Hey! How come Miroku doesn't have to wear a dress? Won't Kagome's mom want to know why her daughter's hanging around some guy she doesn't know?"
"Inuyasha," Miroku said, shaking his head. "To hide my masculine beauty would be a shame. These lovely, fine ladies would never dream of trying to conceal me. Would you ladies? Kagome? Sango? Why are you both looking at me like that? Guys? No… no… NO!!!"
Sango and Kagome both jumped on Miroku, tackling him to the floor. "Ok. Kagome go get the lime green dress with the brown flowers. I'll hold him down," said Sango as she struggled to keep the resisting boy from running off.
"Brown? What kind of flowers are brown?" Miroku asked.
"Well they used to be purple but… when you give stuff to kids…" she trailed off, believing he had gotten the idea from the look on his face.
"Lime green, lime green…" Kagome muttered as she dug through the chest of clothing. "Ah! Found it!"
"Ah! He touched my butt!" When Kagome looked over, Sango had successfully thrown Miroku to the other side of the room as well as back herself up to the door.
"I hold no responsibility to the actions of my hands."
"Yeah I'll bet. Ya nasty lech…" Inuyasha said from where he leaned on the wall with his arms crossed over his chest and a scowl on his face. The tough guy act could have worked, if he hadn't been dressed so femininely.
"Anyways…" Kagome held up the green dress she had sought out. "Are you going to get into this on your own Miroku, or will we have to force you?"
Miroku looked thoughtful for a moment. "What types of things will this 'force' involve?"
"Just get into the dress."

"Alright, now its not enough to just look like women guys," Kagome said to the two very masculine looking ladies beside her as they stood beside the door entering Kagome's family's room. "You have to act, talk, and think like a girl. My mother will see right through you if you present any less. Ok? Any questions? Yes, Miroku?"
"Just one question. Does this dress make me look fat?"
"Yes, you look like an oversized apple," Inuyasha answered.
"Well now that wasn't very nice. I think I may cry…"
Kagome sighed in frustration. "You can bawl all you want when this is over! Right now it's go time!"
She mouthed a count of three before swinging open the door. "Hello, mom! So good to see you!"
