A/N: The original is on the bottom, the adjustments I had to make in order to get this to meet FF's guidelines are on the top. This one was actually posted to in 2010 but as you can see, it was removed- either by me or by the site, I don't know- since it is in script format.

Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Rin-ne and Sakura found themselves dressed nicely, in a lovely little restaurant, on a group date. Previously, a mysterious spectre had informed them separately that they would be in attendance. As they entered the establishment, they saw each other, and immediately approached each others' company.

"Hi, Sakura!" Rin-ne exclaimed.

"Hi, Rin-ne! So, you're on this date too?"

"...Yup," Rin-ne grumbled.

InuYasha, Kagome, Ranma, and Akane also entered the establishment, looking around strangely. Kagome spotted Rin-ne and Sakura.

"Oh, look at those two! Aren't they sweet, InuYasha?"

"I gotta admit, I feel kinda sorry for them," InuYasha replied. "Being Rumiko Takahashi's characters, they're in for drama-hell."

"What are their names again?" Akane asked. Kagome whispered the answer to her.

"Sakura?" scoffed Akane, "Ugh, everyone's name is Sakura these days! Why can't her name be Winona or something?"

Kagome was taken aback. "Winona is a Cherokee name, I think."

"What's "Cherokee"?" Inuyasha frowned.

"It's a Native America tribe," Ranma responded, with some pride. "I trained with them once."

"I wonder what kind of drama Rumiko Takahashi will put them through," Kagome mused. "Inuyasha and I had the zombie ex-girlfriend, Akane and Ranma had the zillion fiancés, ALL of us had a guts-to-speak-up problem…"

Suddenly, Ageha also entered the room.

"Um…. Kagome? Do you see that girl over there? Rumiko Takahashi just added a shinigami named Ageha to the story… And it looks like she's got it for Rin-ne!" Akane exclaimed.

Kagome glared. "Why, I oughta-"

Inuyasha gently took Kagome by the arm. "You oughta nothin."

"But InuYasha, what if she messes them up real bad? It's obvious they like each other!"

"If it's meant to be, then it will be."

"Remember what she did to us, InuYasha? She put us through so much crap! And she showed you and Kikyo kissing, what, three times in the manga? But you and I, no, we ALMOST kiss." Kagome was clearly upset at this point.

"You're still jealous about that?" InuYasha grumbled, red-in the face. He pulled Kagome into a kiss, which was supposed to be chaste, but immediately became less than so.

Ranma and Akane tried not to stare at the kissing couple, or look at each other. After some time, InuYasha and Kagome pulled apart. Kagome looked around and saw the other two looking awkward nearby.

"You know what," she declared angrily, "that woman also made us too easily embarrassed."

The other three looked at her and nodded. "You've got that right!" they all exclaimed.
