Chapter 1
After several days of inclement weather, sunny skies appear over the village to where Inuyasha and his friends reside. Normally, Miroku and Inuyasha travel through villages to get rid of demons, but due to illness from the recent weather, Miroku is unable to work, and Sango has to take care of her husband. Meanwhile, Miroku and Sango's twin girls are running around outside with Shippo and Kirara. Due to the rains, all of the kids wind up playing in the mud and are instantly covered with the exception of Kirara whom happened to avoid involvement. Kagome had a lot of work to do since there are several villagers that fell ill or injured themselves while working.
"Inuyasha, would you like to come help me?" Kagome asks. "I could use an extra hand."
"Keh, sure. It beats boredom." Inuyasha replying. Kagome had a lot of people to attend to, so she thought Inuyasha would be able to assist her with carrying all the medicines and supplies. But recently, Inuyasha has been studying his wife's abilities to make specific remedies and medicines to treat the less fortunate. Hopefully, Inuyasha would be able to learn and excel in how to develop cures for others.
After spending all day treating villagers, Inuyasha and Kagome are ready to go home. But, they decided to check on Miroku's illness first.
"Hey, Sango." Kagome greeting her.
"Hey, Kagome. You look exhausted." Sango greeting in return.
"Well, I wouldn't have made it through the day without Inuyasha's help." Kagome explaining as she glances at her half-demon husband, only to see him smile in return. "Maybe I can make him my apprentice." The two ladies laugh simultaneously with Inuyasha rolling his eyes in embarrassment.
"How's Miroku doing by the way?" Kagome continuing the conversation.
"He is a little better, thanks to the medicine that Kaede gave me, but he'll need another day at least to be well enough to do anything." Sango knowing the extent of Miroku's health.
"Well, look on the bright side, Sango." Inuyasha says. "We won't have to worry about Naraku anymore, because he would have taken advantage of situations like this if he knew about it."
Sango nods in agreement. "At least we defeated him."
Inuyasha and Kagome give their final farewells to Sango as she starts to bathe her twin girls from running around in the mud, while Shippo decided to go to the hot springs nearby to clean off all of the mud he accumulated. It was starting to get dark as Inuyasha and Kagome start to settle inside their hut after working all day. However, they will have to wait for their sleep, for a gust of wind started to blow suddenly, and it caught the attention of most of the village. Inuyasha and Kagome go outside to check what the commotion was about.
"This wind can only mean one thing, Kagome." Inuyasha speaks as he notices a mini-tornado appearing through the village and stops directly in front of him and Kagome.
"It…can't be." Koga had returned. "Is that really you, Kagome?"
"Uh, yeah, Koga, it's me." Kagome replying.
"It was almost too good to be true, but I was curious. Your scent has not changed since I last saw you. Where have you been?" Koga excited about seeing Kagome again.
"Uh, I went back home for a while, and I just came back several weeks ago." Kagome attempting to be as comfortable as possible.
"Koga, are you simply stopping by or what!?" Inuyasha interrupts. Koga smirks at him uncontrollably.
"You haven't changed, have you mutt?" Koga replies.
"Damn you." Inuyasha whispering in anger.
"Well, since Naraku is no longer interfering with our business, I think it is time for me to do something I should've done a long time ago." Koga smirking with confidence.
"And what is that?" Inuyasha replying.
"I'm taking Kagome with me!" Koga stating.
