Sibling Showdown
*episode 2*

“So Inuyasha is in Sesshomaru’s body?” Kagome say. Inuyasha, who is indeed in Sesshomaru’s body, says, “Jeez, how many times are you gonna keep askin that?” She says, “I’m sorry, but this is just a little…weird.” “Hmph, you’re one to talk.” he mutters. “What do I have to do, beat up Shippo? Hey wait,” he reaches up to his neck, “No beads! Hey Shippo, get over here you scruffy little ankle biter!” Inuyasha pursues Shippo out the door. Kagome runs after them shouting, “Sit!” Inuyasha is pulled forcefully down to the ground. “What gives?!?” he shouts. “I don’t have the stupid necklace, so why can she still do that?” Miroku, who has followed them outside, says, “It must have something to do with the method in which this was done to you. Now, if you’ll all come back inside, we can discuss how that happened and what we can do about it. When they are all gathered back inside Kaede’s hut, Miroku says, “As I said before, we are dealing with a plot device; a most dangerous and formidable magic.” Kagome says, “What can we do about it?” Miroku says, “Well, for starters, we can get the brothers on the talk show circuit. We start by going back to Jerry, then Oprah, and we see where it goes from there. There’s at least one book in this, maybe two. I’m not sure if we can work out merchandising but…” Sango cuts him off, “Miroku, what about getting him back to normal?” Miroku says, “Back to normal; Inuyasha, is that what you want?” There is a collective groan from everyone except the monk. He says, “Well that’s an entirely different story. I’m not sure we can do that. You see, only the author can use a plot device. However, I’ll say this: most plot devices resolve themselves. If we wait till then end of the story, you’ll probably be restored to normal whether we try to get you back to normal or not.” Inuyasha says, “Monk, you’re givin me a headache.” Kagome says, “Why not leave out the philosophy and give us the Sparknotes?” Sango says, “Kagome, you use Sparknotes?” Kagome blushes, “Well, with all the time I spend here, sometimes I don’t have time to read the material.” “Anyway,” Miroku says, “Everything will work out just fine by the end of the story.” Kagome says, “How can you be sure?” The monk says, “Didn’t you read the instructions? This can’t be a cliffhanger.”
