The fog cleared from Ranma's mind as the gentle sun shone on his face... her face, Ranma corrected, as she sensed the now familiar feeling of laying on her chest with the two springy pillows of her breasts under her. She tried to fight the feeling of consciousness laying siege to her sleeping mind. Ranma threw a few mental pots of boiling oil on the invading forces, holding off their horrendous forces from the city walls, and Ranma slipped back into the dreamworld.
A dream came, although it was more of a memory than a dream. It was concerning the previous day, laying on the roof mulling over her life and fiancées... particularly how if she chose one over the others it would bring infinite pain onto her head as well as dishonor to his house... her house... whatever. Then she thought about how every enemy and rival hated her because his male form was such a chick magnet. (This was his ego talking.)
The few passing fish-on-stilts and flying daikon against the mauve background were the only things to remind him that he was still asleep during all this.
It was then that she wished to be free of all that crap, out loud and with heartfelt feeling. A gasp drew her attention to a weird, floating girl in flowing, colorful robes. She glowed brightly, a lance of light shooting from her forehead into the sky. The clouds parted with its passage before returning as the light died away.
Ranma could tell that this was part of the real memory, not something extra bubbling up through his subconscious... though he didn't think of it in that way; he just knew that it wasn't part of the dream. No, that glowing girl thing
The girl, who reminded Ranma strongly of Kasumi, said, "Your wish has been approved, although not in the way we usually fulfill them." Ranma watched, stunned, as the girl floated into the house and vanished in a hand mirror Akane had laid on the table.
Ranma's world faded...
The predator alighted onto a tree branch across from the window, beyond which his quarry lay. Silently, the silent stalker lifted the pane, the slight sound of metal scraping upon metal floated softly through the room. He sat upon the windowsill staring at his prey, a young girl who lay sleeping in the nice comfy bed.
The predator gave himself a knock on the head with a deliberately loud curse. Why was he even bothering being quiet? He wanted his pray awake!
Inuyasha hopped off the windowsill and landed heavily on the floor. He scuffed his feet across the carpeted floor, taking pains to make as much noise as possible without it traveling outside the room. He even made sure the Tetsusaiga bumped loudly into the furniture to make more noise. Soon he stood by Kagome's bed.
Kagome lay face down upon the mattress, clutching the pillow and burying her face into its softness. The gentle sound of her breathing reached his sensitive ears.
Inuyasha blushed. Cute... He exorcised the thought violently.
"Wake up, you lazy girl!" he snarled curtly at the sleeping form.
She shifted around under the covers. "Lemme alon', Pops..." she slurred. "I don' wanna practice t'day..."
A vein throbbed on the dog-eared boy temple. Taking a deep breath, he leaned in close to the girl's ear. Once in range, he let lose at the top of his lungs, "WAKE UP, YOU BITCH! WE NEED TO LOOK FOR THE SHIKON SHARDS!!!!"
Kagome's arms flailed around as she screamed in response, "WAAAAHHHHHGH!!!!" Eyes as wide as saucers, Kagome sat up erect in the bed, her hair in disarray and panting heavily. "Wazza big idea, ya fat panda?!!" he yelled. Then blinked, looking down. "Waitaminit. Where the heck did this bed come from?" she asked, examining the sheets between her fingers.
Then she noticed that her fingernails were painted, leading to a fury of checking herself. "What the..." she murmured, twisting this way and that to get a better view of all her sundry parts.
A moan from across the room captured her attention, and Kagome looked to find a body clad in a dingy red kimono laying in a heap across the room. "Owwwww..." groaned Inuyasha, rubbing his cheek as he gathered himself together from his heap on the floor. "Since when have you been that strong, girl?" Inuyasha groaned, rubbing his bruised cheek.
If you haven't figured out by now, it was Ranma-chan inside the body of Higurashi Kagome. Here she was, waking up in a strange bed, in a strange (and suspiciously girly) room, wearing strange pajamas, and wearing a strange body! And if that wasn't strange enough, there was a strange guy in her room (well, she assumed that the room and the body were owned by the same person, anyway) who had strange white hair, strange ears and strange eyes, wearing a strange sword and... well, you get the picture.
"Hey. Anyone home?" Inuyasha asked, waving his hand in front of Kagome/Ranma's face.
The girl started and looked into Inuyasha's eyes. The look hardened as she frowned. "Who are you?" she asked at last.
