Gender Confused

(Keera was asleep in her bed when she heard a knock at her window. She stirred and opened her eyes, looking toward her window. Forcing her sleepy self out of bed, she walked over to it and opened the curtains. There stood Sakura Ryokan waving cheerfully at her. Keera wiped her listless eyes and yawned. By that time, Sakura had poofed herself into the bedroom and was behind her. Keera felt something poke her side and this made her lightly giggle as she jumped and spun around facing Sakura. The two friends smiled at each other and Keera spoke softly, almost as a whisper.)

Keera: Hey Sakura. What are you doing here? Where have you been lately?

Sakura: Why are you talking so lowly?

Keera: Because mom is asleep and I don't want her to wake up and see that you've broken into my room like this.

(Keera giggled and placed her hand over her mouth. Sakura smiled and nodded in agreement.)

Sakura: I just came back from the year 3000 to check on my Callie and my family back at home and I thought I'd drop by here while I was at it. Everyone else is at the Mystical Forest right now and—

Keera: Wait, what's the Mystical Forest?

Sakura: It's the place where we are supposed to meet this guy named Vahn who can help us defeat Tsuyoku.

Keera: Oh. Well why are you here at my house?

Sakura: Can't a girl visit her pal once in a while? Besides, I want to bring you with me.

Keera: I can't. It's too risky.

Sakura: Risky? Pssh! I'm gonna be right there with you. Nobody will mess with us. We will catch up with Kakashi and the others and—

Keera: No, it's not that. If I just sneak off like that…

Sakura: Oh yeah. Your mom is strict. I forgot about that. Can't win for losing can I?

Keera: Afraid not. Sorry, I wish I could come, but—

Sakura: Can't you bend the rules just a little bit? Tell her that you are coming to my house to sleepover.

Keera: Heh, it's the middle of the night.

Sakura: Then we'll ask her in the morning. Come on. This could work.

(Keera thought about it for a minute and looked at Sakura's hopeful expression. Keera was unsure about the whole situation, but she finally decided to answer.)

Keera: …Okay, we'll try it.

Sakura: Yay!

Keera: Ssshh! Don't be too loud.

Sakura: Oops. Sorry. Okay then, I'll be back in the morning. Okay?

Keera: Sounds like a plan.

(Sakura nodded with a smile and poofed away. Keera looked over at her mirror and struck a confident, rebellious pose.)

Keera: I'm gonna be a wild child, a rule bender… I just hope I don't get caught.

(She had hesitated and gotten nervous as she bit her lower lip. Morning arrived in the year 3000, where Mikita was the first to stir and yawn. She intended to go back to sleep as she put her hands on her chest. Shockingly, she didn't feel what was supposed to be there. She kept her eyes closed and groped around her chest, then moved down to her genital area. It didn't feel the same either and her eyes flew open in surprise. When she yelled, a man's voice escaped her vocals. This awakened the others and they jumped up to see what the shouting was about. When they arrived at the spot where Mikita was, they saw a good-looking young man standing there in Mikita's blue and white kimono. He looked shocked as well as he was looking down at his body.)

Kagome: Who is this man, and why is he wearing Mikita's kimono? He even has ears and a tail like her.

Karasu: Ooh, he's cute.

Mikita: Stuff it incest freak!

(Hearing this come from the man's mouth made Karasu's jaw drop.)

Karasu: …Mikita?

Mikita: Am I that easy to figure out?

Inuyasha: That can't be Mikita.

Mikita: I can't believe it myself, dumb ass.

Inuyasha: Never mind. That's her… I mean him.

Mikita: Shut up.

Leona: Mikita, you're hot as a guy.

Mikita: Leona, just because I can't see you doesn't mean I can't hear you.

(Since Mikita has somehow transformed into a male now, "she" will have to be referred to as "he.")

Lutious: Well now that you're a dude, you need a better wardrobe… a manly wardrobe.

(Lutious had the smile as if he had an idea. He got Mikita dressed up in one of his futuristic outfits and Mikita just rolled his eyes.)

Leona: Ooh! Much better.

Karasu: Definitely. Now that's hot.

(Karasu then got the paranoid look as she walked away from Mikita with wide eyes.)

Karasu: Incest.

(Sesshomaru acquired that very same look.)

Sesshomaru: Friends… Not gay friends.

Mikita: At least I don't have a wedgie anymore. I still don't know how this happened, but at least I don't have to deal with being raped and all that shit... unless the guys are gay. Now that's a creepy thought. Oh well. Also I can fly! Yay! But now I have to carry a disgusting package around. Not yay.

Inuyasha: Not so easy is it?

Leona: At least you don't have to carry these!

Lutious: Leona, we… can't see what you are talking about.

Kagome: It's obvious what she's talking about.

Lutious: Really? What?

Kagome: (Rolls her eyes) Never mind.

(Meanwhile, Keera was getting her things ready for going with Sakura as she placed two bracelets around her wrist. Sakura walked into her room casually and leaned against her door.)

Sakura: Yo.

Keera: Sakura! What are you doing here?

Sakura: Relax. Your mom knows I'm here.

Keera: Oh. Heh…

(Her mother walked into the room.)

Mother: Oh and Sakura, I'll have to call your mother and talk to her about this first. What is your phone number dear?

Sakura: My… phone number?

(Keera began to feel a little nervous now as she felt a sweat drop roll down her face. Sakura tried to think of a plan and finally she came up with one as she looked at her watch.)

Sakura: All right. Hang on a second and I'll get a hold of her.

(She went over and grabbed Keera's phone, dialing the number and thinking, "The watches are also like phones, so if I can get a hold of Kara…" She got it to ring and Karasu looked at her watch in confusion.)

Karasu: My watch is ringing?

Leona: It can be a phone, remember?

Karasu: Oh yeah.

(Karasu answered it by clicking a green phone-like button.)

Karasu: Uhh… hello?

Sakura: Hey mom. How are you doing today on your business trip?

(Sakura was trying to throw hints to Karasu, but it didn't sink in just yet.)

Karasu: What the hell is wrong with you? I'm not your mother!

(Keera's mother acted like she could hear a bit of what was being said as she looked at Sakura curiously. Sakura just smiled largely and kept trying to convince Karasu.)

Sakura: Hahaha. Mom. You're such a kidder.

Karasu: Did you fall on your head again?

Sakura: Keera's mother wants to talk to you and make sure it's okay for Keera to come over. I know you already said it is, but she just wants to make sure.

(Karasu still thought Sakura was going insane, but Kagome understood what she was trying to say. The watch was like a speakerphone and everyone could hear it. Whoever was on the phone at Keera's house could hear all that were around the watch. Kagome looked at Karasu.)

Kagome: I got this. Hand me the watch for a second.

(Karasu shrugged and handed it to Kagome.)

Kagome: Hello Sakura honey. It's your mom.

(Sakura, dense like her sister, actually thought that Kagome was her mother.)

Sakura: Mom? How did you get there?

Kagome: Just give the phone to Keera's mom.

Sakura: Okay fine. Don't tell me how you got there and why you sound like Kagome. Here she is.

(Kagome rolled her eyes and Sakura handed the phone to Keera's mom.)

Mother: Hello?

(Kagome tried to make her voice sound all grown up and adult-like.)

Kagome: Yes. You wanted to speak to me about something?

Mother: Yes. I just wanted to make sure that you didn't mind my daughter Keera coming to visit your daughter today.

Kagome: Why, that would be no problem at all. I would be glad to have her over to visit.

(Inuyasha was arguing with Mikita in the background and Keera's mom could hear it.)

Inuyasha: You retard! Who says I want that?

(It sounded as if Inuyasha was talking to Kagome, but he was yelling at the now manly Mikita.)

Kagome: Uhh, we will be glad to have her over here.

Mother: Is that your husband I hear?

Kagome: Uhh, yes. That is my husband you hear. Heh…

Mother: He doesn't sound very happy about it though. Are you sure he doesn't mind?

(Mikita then yelled back at Inuyasha.)

Mikita: I know you want it because you're a man!

Kagome: Oh he doesn't mind. My husband was talking to… Sakura's uncle.

Inuyasha: Husband?

Mikita: Sakura's uncle?

(Kagome gave them an aggravated smile.)

Kagome: Yes, now would you please be quiet while I'm on the phone. Thank you.

(She hinted this toward them and they crossed their arms in agreement.)

Kagome: Heh, we are a silly family. Rest assured that she would be just fine here with us.

Mother: Thank you very much.

Kagome: No problem. Buh-bye.

Mother: Good-bye.

(They hung up and Keera's mother smiled.)

Mother: They sound like a funny family. I guess it's okay if you go Keera. Just be careful.

(Her mother hugged her and Keera was being squished with love.)

Keera: Uhh, mom. I can't breathe.

Mother: Sorry honey. I just worry about you. That's all. After what happened with Okashi…

(Thinking of her daughter again made her mother cry as she walked out of the room. Keera just shook her head and walked back to her bed.)

Keera: Every time she thinks of Okashi, it makes her cry.

(She then made her voice go to whispering level as she walked over to Sakura.)

Keera: That reminds me. Could you please take me to see her before we go to the Mystical Forest?

Sakura: Sure, but there's something I don't get.

Keera: What's that?

Sakura: How did my mom get in the Mystical Forest and why did she sound like Kagome? She was just in the Feudal Era not long ago.

Keera: (Sigh) That was Kagome, not your mom.

Sakura: …Oh.

(Keera just giggled at her friend's slow understanding.)

Keera: Come on. Let's go.
