Lady Chango: OMG! I'm on the favorite's list of more than one of my favorite authors! I'm, like, my favorite author's favorite author!
Go to my MySpace site and see my bio. I don't have pictures, of course, but it's a way to learn a little more about Lady Chango. And I have pretty pictures!
For some reason, when I update my chapters, there are mistakes on the site that I didn't make. Why is that?
I don't own Inu Yasha. If I did, I would make this story come to life.
If I Was Your Woman
Kagome, Sango, and Yashirah were on a reconnaissance mission to catch Kikyo in the act and have Inu Yasha walk in at the perfect moment.
Kikyo was wearing a miniskirt and hooker boots with a school girl shirt that plunged low in the front. It made Kagome sick. There were most certainly laws against being a ho.
Yashirah was leaning on a pole on the corner of the street, wearing a huge trench coat and Capone hat and trying to be inconspicious. Kagome sighed desperately as a sweat drop fell down her forehead.
But when Kikyo leaned into the driver's side window of a car, all this was thrown out the window.
"Slut! Bitch! Whore-!" Kagome and Sango practically jumped Yashirah and pulled her behind some bushes just in time. Kikyo glanced at the spot and turned back to the car.
"That was close!" Sango gasped.
"You almost gave us away, Yashi!" Kagome snapped at the girl.
"She wouldn't have known it was me."
Kagome looked at her like she was stupid. "You look like Baby Dolomite!"
Yashirah waved her off. "Whatever. That was Naraku, one of Inu Yasha's worst enemies. That's low even for her. I mean, really, he has the worst body odor! Talk about low standards!"
They turned to look back at the car, but found Kikyo wasn't there and neither was the car.
"Where'd she go!"
"Hello, ladies." They jumped and turned to see Kikyo standing right behind them. "Being brown-nosers again, huh?"
None of them had anything to say. How would they get out of this?
"I can see up your skirt!" Kagome screeched.
Suddenly developing some decency, Kikyo attempted to cover herself (ironically), and gave the girls enough time to dash off.
The girls were slouched about Yashirah's living room. Kagome felt it was pretty purposeless to try to convince Inu Yasha now.
"'Sup," the said half-demon greeted when he walked into the room. He was wearing a black thermal and baggy camouflage shorts that reached halfway down his shins.
"Hey, Inu," Kagome muttered. Suddenly a thought came to her. "Inu Yasha..." she said seductively.
Inu Yasha sensed the change in her voice. He gulped and replied, "Yes...?"
She beckoned for him to sit next to her. "Inu Yasha," she began. "I'm so sorry I tried to get you to break up with Kikyo. I guess I was just jealous and wanted you to myself." Biting her nail in a nervous manner, she glanced up to see his reaction. He seemed mildly surprised.
"It's okay, Kagome..." he began, but his breath caught in his throat when Kagome placed her hand on the top of his thigh.
"No, it wasn't right of me to get between you guys." She placed her hand on his chest and looked into his eyes, her own getting watery. "Just promise me we can still be friends." He nodded the affirmative and she buried her head in his chest, clutching at his shirt.
"Of course, Kagome," Inu Yasha said gently. Putting his arms around her, he allowed her to fit against his body. "To tell you the truth, Kikyo isn't as nice as you."
Kagome nodded in fake understanding. She knew damn well the bitch was, well, a bitch. Yashirah and Sango left the room to give them some privacy. They were privy to Kagome's plot.
"Yeah, she's into telling me what to do," he said, slightly forlorn.
Kagome sighed in sympathy and placed her hand on his. "Well, Inu Yasha, if I was your woman," she began, licked her lips slowly and searched for the words. Discreetly she was moving closer. "I would cherish our relationship. And I wouldn't take advantage of you."
"Yeah, well, y'know...What can you do," he said weakly. Her hand was still on his thigh.
"But as long as you love her, there's no reason for me to get in your way. Do you forgive me?"
"Of course, Kagome," Inu Yasha said, slightly flustered. He was having a hard time controlling himself, as far as she could tell.
"Oh, thank you, Inu!" She looked up with her face bright and brushed her lips against his for a millisecond before going upstairs to Yashirah's room, the other two girls in tow. Inu Yasha watched after her, slightly disappointed.
"That was perfect, Kagome! He didn't even push you away. That means he can't resist you," Sango cackled.
Yashirah was apexing on her bed, cross-legged. "We know the bond between Kikyo and Inu Yasha is fragile. We have to break the last of his bonds."
"Well, what's next?" Sango asked, her legs dangling off the edge of Yashirah's huge, soft white bed.
"Take five and then we regroup and hit 'em hard!" Yashirah said, hitting her palm with her fist.
The girl left the room, and when she was a safe distance away, Kagome asked Sango, "Why is she so intent on doing this?"
Sango looked pained. "Inu Yasha's been Yashirah's best friend since their mother died. He was all she had. And then Kikyo came in and took over. She's really messed up, emotionally. I feel bad for her. Kikyo doesn't care about anyone but herself, even though Inu Yasha cares about her. Yashirah truly can't bear to see him hurt."
Kagome looked down at the black rug, and her mood darkened. "How can he put up with a woman like that?"
Sango searched for the words to explain the situation. "He's looking for someone to replace his mother."
"The pros of Kagome far outweigh Kikyo's," Miroku said, tossing down the pencil he'd been using to write his 'Pros and Cons of Kagome and Kikyo' list.
"How many pros does Kikyo have?"
Miroku sweat-dropped. "None."
Inu Yasha fell over anime-style. "None!"
Miroku shook his head. "On the other hand, she has twenty-six cons, including cruel, pale, greedy, insensitive, and conniving." He paused and tapped his lip thoughtfully. "She's pretty."
"Okay, put it down. Now how many more does Kagome have?"
"Thirty-seven."
Inu Yasha anime-fell-over again. "You mean to tell me we've only known Kagome Higurashi for two days and we know enough about her to say she's the entire package compared to Kikyo?"
Miroku held up his hands in defense. "Hey, don't shoot the messenger, man. She's your girlfriend."
Inu Yasha sweat-dropped (A/N: Does that even make sense?). "It's not your fault. I'm just surprised that I like her so much so soon." Inu Yasha's clawed hand flew to cover his mouth, and Miroku's eyes zeroed-in on him with a calculating curiosity.
A catlike grin spread across Miroku's features. "Inu Yasha..." he said quietly.
"Yeah..."
"You like Kagome!" He jumped up and ran toward Yashirah's window. "Hey, Kagome! Hey!"
"What!" Kagome snapped and stuck her head out of the large window.
"Inu Yasha-" Miroku was pummeled by Inu Yasha and beat nearly into a coma, despite his near immunity to pain at the hands of Inu Yasha and Sango, specifically.
If a question mark could appear over Kagome's head, it would have. Inu Yasha looked at her sheepishly and waved. In turn, Kagome gave him a dazzling smile that made his knees weak. She disappeared back into the house and Inu Yasha let out a sigh.
"You are so in denial," Miroku pointed out, rubbing his head. Injury must not have been prevalent in his family. It was the only answer to the question: Why wasn't he dead yet?
"I'm not going to break up with Kikyo just cause I think I like Kagome. That would be unfair to Kikyo, and it's like rebounding or something."
Miroku just stared at him blankly. "Denial," he repeated, slowly, and danced out of Inu Yasha's reach before he could get hurt.
The girls were still plotting when Yashirah's cell phone rang. After singing along with the ringtone into the phone, she actually picked it up. She put on a businesslike air. "Yashirah. Holla if you hear me." There was a few seconds before she hung up with an evil squeal.
"What!" Kagome and Sango said in unison.
The hanyou focused her blue eyes on them. "We have an insider," she said, grinning maniacally. "Miroku."
