Ichigo was passing that night in company of Kana, Yura and the others. Nurarihyon and Youhime were sitting in that room too, after their talk with Setsura. Rikuo and Tsurara were nowhere to be seen. The tea had never been one of his best likes, but that night Ichigo was enjoying his tea with all of them.

"So, what will you do now, Ichigo?" asked Nurarihyon.

"Well," said Ichigo, scratching his neck. "I guess we will wait for tomorrow and then Inuyasha and I will go to the town to search for some trace of those bastards. Why do you ask? I'm sure you know what we are going to do."

"Yes, I do. But still it's good to know it," said Nurarihyon, playing with the hair of Youhime.

The truth was that he did not wanted to let those two boys go that fast. He and his clan owe them a lot, and as for himself he owed them his very life. Youhime smiled brightly as he squeezed her face. Somehow he felt that if Inuyasha and Ichigo left his house, Youhime would go with them.

"And after that… what will you do?" asked Kana, insecure.

"Well, I guess that Tessaiga will tell us where to go," said Ichigo looking at her.

"That's how you get here in first place, right?" asked Yura, remembering the tale of how those two got there.

"Yeah, a very handful ability…" said Ichigo.

He yawned and stretched his body.

"Well, I guess I am going to bed," added Ichigo raising from his seat. Kana and Yura looked at him, surprised.

"It's still 9 p.m."

"All the more we have to go to sleep," joked Ichigo, rubbing Kana's head. "Children must sleep early to grow more, you know?"

"I… I am not a children!"

"Really?" smiled Ichigo. "You look like one."

"And you behave like one," observed Yura, drinking her tea with her eyes closed.

"And you look like one, too," said Ichigo, still smiling.

"Really? What must I do to not look like one?"

"Are you asking that to me? Where are those two women when you need them?" wondered Ichigo, looking around even when he knew that Setsura and Gitsune were not there.

"It would be very sad when those two idiots go," said Nurarihyon in low voice to Youhime, who nodded.

"Yes, Ayakashi-sama," conceded her. "We must try to make their stay here as pleasant as we can."

"Leave that to us," said Nurarihyon, kissing her on her nose while Ichigo was still arguing with Kana and Yura.

For the first time on tehir lives they were doing that, apart from kissing for the first time too, was combat to the feelings of embarrassment. The desire was having the best of them and they were not feeling like put away their instincts this time. So when with just a single look at each other they understood that they wanted to do it, they knew that that was their night.

Rikuo started it. The kiss he shared with Tsurara was gently at first, then it grew in strength to be a mere sign of sexual desire. Every single day, on his two forms, day and night, he found himself undressing Tsurara with just his eyes. From her school uniform, from her usual white attire. Now he had her in front of him and, joined with the desire of make her forget the matters of her mother, there was his own desire to possess her, in body and soul.

Soon she found him untying her obi, slowly and patiently, even when she saw him drooling from time to time. She was insecure herself. She just could not stop trembling. And was worried about her corporal warm. She was cold by nature, so how would Rikuo feel having her like that?

But he looked like if he just did not cared about that. After her obi, he took gently the scarf that she always wore on her neck, and then there was her furisode, very much like her mother's. Slowly, he reached her shoulders and slide his hand on her furisode to let it down, on the floor at last. Thinking of dying at any moment, he also thought that the view in front of him was beyond beautiful.

Tsurara was looking away, and she was trying to cover her breasts and her more private parts. Rikuo smiled, and moving his hands again he took the arms of Tsurara, separating them from her body, to give himself a gift which he was not willing to share to anyone in the universe.

He kneeled, and approaching his head to her chest, he grabbed a breast with his mouth, just when he was thinking that Tsurara was well endowed, especially there, where now he was having his way. He embraced her by her waist and with her hands caressing her back, he started to lick and suck her right breast and her pink nipple, the only difference in colour among all that white perfection.

Tsurara just raised her head to the roof, when she felt what her master was doing. She felt him kissing and then caressing her breast with his mouth and his hand, while the other descended through her back to her buttocks. She opened her eyes wide when she felt that the not so expert, but caring, hands of Rikuo moved into her butt and then into the middle, sending chills of electricity through her spine.

Rikuo laid her down on his futon, and with her arms standing on both sides of her head, he kissed her again. She was red and her yellow eyes were shining with the tears that he wished were of happiness. She closed her eyes with the contact of his lips on hers and with his hands on her cheeks. After that he separated his lips and moved down to her neck with his mouth, while his hands were taking care of her breasts. Tsurara took her pointer finger to her mouth to stop the sounds she was doing, but said moans were making Rikuo even hornier than before. He descended his right hand from her left breast through her waist and back to her buttocks again. He really enjoyed their tact on his hand and the sense of her crotch on the other, and by the looks of Tsurara it seemed that she enjoyed it too.

Not able to restrain himself anymore, he took away his coat. And then his kimono and his trousers. After all that would be his first time, he thought desperately. He slipped his hands through her thighs, all of her legs, and ascending to her waist and her breasts again he did not noticed the words he was saying.

"I could die now… How I couldn't do this before?"

"I feel the same, Rikuo-sama…"

Rikuo opened his eyes. What he was saying? He could not even remember, and was embarrassing things for sure. But the look of Tsurara under his total will was about to take over of his mind.

"Don't ever get away from me…" said Rikuo, breathing on her right ear. He could see his own breath because the coldness of the body of Tsurara was affecting them. But he did not cared about it. In fact, he could feel that he loved that kind of weather already.

"Tsurara…"

"Please, Waka…" begged Tsurara, even when she was scared about what was about to happen. And she could not stop the scream which startled Rikuo just when he thought that he was in the very heaven.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah…" said Tsurara smiling, despite the tears in her eyes.

Rikuo embraced her, and when he started to move the feeling of happiness on his heart was the greatest he felt on his life.

Inuyasha was walking on the top of the train, trying to avoid the steel and the cables which were like the veins of that thing. He was walking forward on the top of the compartments towards where he could felt the essence of Naraku.

And once he was on the compartment of which he could felt Naraku, Inuyasha hesitated. The train was still moving in the middle of that enormous city, and of course that compartment was full of people. He did not knew the best way to get into the compartment. Breaking the roof? Jumping to the running street and again into the train by a window? Or maybe that time it would be better if he used a more quiet way of getting in.

He went back to the roof of the next compartment. But there was not a joint that he could use to get into the train that way. Sighing, he jumped to the ground out of the train, landed on the ground of outside, and jumped again towards the moving train, getting himself into it by one of the opened windows.

He landed into a compartment like that one where he left Gitsune and Aoi a while ago, and saw how all the people there was looking at him in awe. A weird man dressed in red had just entered into their compartment by a window, with the train at full speed? Inuyasha sighed again.

"Are you okay?"

A beautiful girl asked that and Inuyasha took a good look of her. She had purple hair, picked in two twin tails, her eyes were kind and some kind of green. She was wearing a squared blue skirt and a blue hitoe over her white shirt. She also was wearing those black 'pantyhose' things to her thighs. Or at least that was how that things were called, as Inuyasha could recall. That girl was sitting before on one of those comfortable chairs with another girl, and now both girls were standing in front of him. Her friend had the same appearance than her, except for her hair, yellow, and tied up in a ponytail. She was not wearing those black pantyhose, but they were white and were up to her calves; and her eyes were blue.

And somehow, Inuyasha felt like if he had seen those two girls somewhere before.

"I am fine," said Inuyasha, turning and walking decidedly to the door which connected that compartment with the compartment of which he thought Naraku was.

"Are you filming a spot or something?" asked the girl of the twin tails, making Inuyasha stop, rolling his eyes.

"What is that?"

"What are you doing?" asked the girl of the yellow hair. "That thing you did was amazing."

"And what did I do?" asked Inuyasha, turning again to deal with them.

"You just jumped from the roof to the ground out there, and then into the train!" exclaimed the girl with yellow hair. "No matter how good athlete you are, what you did is impossible to do."

"Besides, you are dressed funny," said the girl of the twin tails. "Are you doing cosplay or something?"

"No, damn it," said Inuyasha, seeing how the people around them was starting to gather.

"Why are you wearing those ears then?" asked the yellow-haired girl, suspicious. "And that hair…"

"Which ears?" asked Inuyasha, moving his ears without helping it.

"My, they look so real," said the girl with twin tails, approaching a little to Inuyasha, raising her hands.

"Damn it, I know what you are trying to do," said Inuyasha, bored. "If you let the things like they are now, I promise you I will return to let you touch them as you like. Just leave me alone now."

The girl in front of him stood silent, thoughtful. Her yellow-haired friend was looking at him, still suspicious.

"Okay," said at last the twin tailed girl. "But if you don't keep your word I swear I will find you, and punish you."

She said that with a mischievous glare, but charming nonetheless. And also moving her fingers. Inuyasha was having a hard time to not laugh.

"Right…"

"I am Toujou Nozomi, by the way," said that girl, lowering her hands and smiling. "She is my strict friend, Ayase Eli."

Eli bowed her head a little when she was introduced, but her glare of distrust was still present. Meanwhile Nozomi had extended her right arm to offer her hand to Inuyasha.

"What?"

"Don't you even know what is this?" asked Nozomi, smiling more. "Just take my hand…"

Inuyasha took her hand into his. Her hand was soft and white. He could even sense that he could crush it into his own if he wanted. The smile on her face was beautiful.

"And you are?" asked Eli, crossing her arms under her breasts.

"Inuyasha," said he, looking at her. "Later, then," added Inuyasha, letting go the hand of Nozomi and turning again to go out of the compartment.

Once Inuyasha disappeared behind the door, Nozomi returned to her chair with Eli, while the other people were chatting about what happened.

"So?" asked Eli. "Is that what your cards predicted?"

"I guess so," said Nozomi sitting like Eli. "A very accurate prediction, isn't it?"

"That boy was kind of rude," said Eli, looking out the window. They had saw him appearing from the roof of the train to the street outside, and then he jumped like if nothing into the train. "That was amazing."

"I think he was cute," said Nozomi. "I've never figured that what my cards told me about a fateful encounter would be like this. If we had not go to the Ukiyoe district for that walk, maybe we would not meet him."

"So you are happy to have meet him?" asked Eli.

"Yeah…" said Nozomi, after a pause. "I hope we can see him soon."

She smiled again, and leaned on her chair to let the speed of the train to take away her thoughts of nostalgia, as she pressed the kotodama that was inside of her hand.

"You are just annoying, Inuyasha."

Naraku was sitting in a chair of that train, surrounded by a bunch of humans dressed in black suit. Even he was wearing a suit which definitely looked terrible on him.

"Like if I care about what you think!" yelled Inuyasha with a hand on the hilt of Tessaiga.

"Now, you must calm down, Inuyasha," said Naraku, standing as he smiled. "This train is full of innocent people. Or maybe now you do not care about them?"

"What are you doing here?" asked Inuyasha, furious. It was a good thing to not have broken the roof to enter. Maybe Naraku would have exploded or something worse.

"I paid a visit to a friend," said Naraku. "Sousuke and I are arranging the things to have… help, in our business."

That made no sense to Inuyasha, who did not knew of what was talking about that bastard.

"But having ended that I was about to return to my home," said Naraku thoughtful. "And I found you here. It's the destiny, maybe?"

"If it is your destiny, better not try to get away from it, right?" said Inuyasha, unsheathing Tessaiga in the middle of sparks and lights.

"So reckless as always," said Naraku, as his men raised from their seats in all the compartment and pointed their guns at Inuyasha.

"I can't think a way for you to have this stupid men on your side," spouted Inuyasha. "Are you controlling them some way?"

"Not at all, my idiot friend," said Naraku mockingly. "They are on our side by their own will."

"So by their own will, they choose to die!"

Inuyasha said that but when he charged towards Naraku, Inuyasha avoided to hit those men. An attitude that Naraku's men did not thank him appropriately. They opened fire towards Inuyasha, who had to turn in mid-air and wave his sword to dodge the bullets.

Gitsune and Aoi were sitting in the same seat, while they were waiting for Inuyasha to return. And from time to time they looked at each other and smiled creepily.

"So, little girl," said Gitsune, seeing with amusement the vein on the temple of Aoi. "How did you met Inuyasha?"

"First, are you calling me 'little girl'?" said Aoi, smiling as well. "Aren't you my same age?"

"Of course not, little one," replied Gitsune, crossing her arms and making her boobs move. "I've lived more than what you could ever think."

"I don't doubt it," said Aoi, looking at Gitsune.

"So? Answer me."

"We've met him some days ago," said Aoi, crossing her legs too. "He was a weird guy who squeezed the legs of Nana-san, just after meeting her."

"Typical of him," laughed Gitsune, sincerely. "I guess you know that he did not did it on purpose, right?"

"It cost us to learn that he was just a stupid man," said Aoi, smiling as well. "He was wearing the same outfit and we thought that he was a cosplayer or something like that. His friends were with him and tried by all ways to avoid showing us his ears," recalled Aoi. "But that stupid got me out of the train, when I go to them to know what they did to Nana-san."

"So it was your fault," said Gitsune, with her left arm on the arm on the chair and her face resting in her hand.

"Of course not!" said Aoi scandalized, not helping the smile on her face with the memory. "He let me on the riverbank on our way to the Kabuki district. I was furious. I was walking to the closest station but he came to pick me up again and took me to the train, just running and jumping. That's how I knew already that he was not just a mere human."

"He is a Youkai, dear," said Gitsune looking out of the window. "A strong Youkai. An alive legend even among us."

"Are you a friend of him?" asked Aoi. "How you know him?"

"Well," said Gitsune, looking at Aoi again. "I was visiting a Clan, friends of mine, and he was there. He was so rude and stubborn… and funny. Despite his looks and his behaviours he can be very charming."

"Tell me about it," said Aoi, without thinking. "Since we met him Nana-san and I can't talk about anything else…"

Suddenly she realized what she said and blushed to the colour of her hair.

"Well! It's not like we have a more interesting things to talk, you know!"

"I understand you perfectly, little girl," said Gitsune. Looking out the window again.

"Do you think that what he is doing is dangerous?" asked Aoi, worried. Gitsune breathed, some kind of bored.

He was late. What was he doing to be that late? She was starting to worry, when a sudden boom was heard from the compartments of the front and smoke was being left behind as the train was moving.

"That's your answer, dear."

"What is that?"

Eli and Nozomi were holding each other when they heard the shots, which at first they thought were fireworks or something like that. But what they did not expect was the tremble at their feet. Or the yellow lightning which appeared from the sides of the compartment in front of them to the street outside. And the smoke which started to came out from it.

"I don't know," said Eli, scared.

"We… We have to go and see," said Nozomi, as scared as Eli.

"Nozomi! That would be very dangerous!"

"But…!"

Nozomi could explain herself. She just had seen that boy for some minutes and now she was sick worried for him. He just entered into that room in front of them.

Nozomi could not resist it anymore, so she got up from her seat and walked to the door and opened it. She found that there was a little room which joined her compartment with the next. So she approached to the next door and opened it.

Inuyasha was there, standing in front of her with the wind waving his silver hair, and with a huge sword on his hands. That sword was so big, that even looked bigger than her. The whole roof was gone, and the surroundings of the train on its march to the next station was visible. The buildings, the poles of light, the people, and the sky, free of the purple cloud left behind a while ago.

"Are you okay?" asked she to Inuyasha, worried.

"I am seriously thinking of not talk to girls anymore," said Inuyasha, without turning. "You are so careless."

"What about you?" asked Eli, who had followed Nozomi and was holding her close to not fall with the shakes of the train.

"I know what I am doing."

"Destroying the roof is your idea of knowing what you are doing?"

"Just do me a favour," said Inuyasha, turning at last. Nozomi and Eli saw the anger and the care on his golden eyes as he ordered." "Return to your damn seats."

"But…"

"I will not say it twice," sneered Inuyasha, turning again to face whatever what was behind that cloud of dust and smoke.

"Just if you promise to keep your word, Inuyasha," said Nozomi, walking a step towards him.

"To this day I've never failed on that," said Inuyasha smiling. Thought they could not see him.

"It's a promise, then."

"Yeah, you two have to tell me why your faces are painted on the walls of the buildings and on this train," said Inuyasha. Ata last he remembered where did he saw her faces before.

"You will be very surprised," said Eli, pulling Nozomi into the joint of the compartments again. "Don't forget your promise!"

"I won't."

Nozomi and Eli returned to their seats on the other side, but left the door open. They tried to explain the people of their compartment what happened when suddenly one of them screamed and pointed to the door.

Nozomi and Eli turned to see through the door how Inuyasha was standing in the door of the other side, and waving his big sword he cut the joint of steel, cables and iron, all of it destroyed with a swing. And how the train car were they were was being left behind, and how his compartment was still joined to the locomotive pulling it.

He turned again, after notice their helpless glare on him, and waving good bye, he returned to face whatever that was on that train.

Before they could do anything but breathe, by their door they noticed that they were slowing their speed, and saw in awe how a girl with long black hair and dressed in a black sailor uniform from some school, was jumping towards the moving train of one compartment in front of them.

Nozomi and Eli stayed in the cars left behind, kneeling in that door and watching the train getting away in front of them.

"I hope that idiot will be fine," said Eli, still trembling.

"Oh, he will," said Nozomi, smiling despite the fears. "Until now my cards have not lied to me, and he will be fine to prove that."

She looked at the kotodama on her hand and then at Eli, who smiled and embraced her. She really needed it.

"Naraku, you are a bastard…"

"Inuyasha, you must restock your load of insults," said Naraku emerging from the hole in the compartment where the Wind Scar had left him.

"You will tell me what you are planning…" said Inuyasha, furious.

The things had flowed faster than what he could ever thought. After those men started shooting at him, and seeing that they could not hit him, Naraku lose patience and used something to explode the car. All of the men inside died due to the commotion or went out of the train by the force of the explosion. And, furious, Inuyasha used the Wind Scar against Naraku, destroying the remains of the compartment. Then those two girls arrived, and by little their safety was having Inuyasha more worried than his own life.

"Who were those two beautiful girls, Inuyasha?" asked Naraku.

"I don't know, stupid."

"But they looked like they know you very well," observed Naraku, floating in front of Inuyasha, now with his usual outfit of mandrill.

"Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha turned to receive Gitsune on his arms, as she was falling from the sky.

"Silly woman. I've told you to stay in that thing, didn't I?"

"Oh, you really do believe that I will wait for you just like that?" asked she hugging him. "You still owe me this night…"

"I guess, after I clean this mess," said Inuyasha. "What happened to Aoi?"

"I made her stay in the train after it started to lose speed. Was you who separate the cars?"

"Yeah."

"You really are something."

"I know."

Somehow relieved that Setsura was safe in the house, Inuyasha let her go and turned to see Naraku, who was smiling even more.

"Not having Kagome nor Kikyou here, you are up to your tricks, don't you?" asked Naraku, while the tentacles appeared from under his white mandrill outfit.

"That's none of your business!" yelled Inuyasha, preparing Tessaiga, and not sure about what Naraku was talking about.

But what Naraku said did not escape Gitsune's ears. Kagome? Kikyou? Who were those names? And why Inuyasha was suddenly even angrier than before?

"You stupid Hanyou," said Naraku, sounding mad for the first time since Gitsune met him. "Somehow you manage to do as you please."

The tentacles attacked, and Inuyasha waved his sword to destroy them, and Gitsune released her tails to let her powers shown. She jumped and intercepted the tentacles with her tails, destroying them. Then she landed and stood back to back with Inuyasha, who smiled satisfied.

"Impressed, love?" asked Gitsune, squeezing the face of Inuyasha with one of her soft tails.

"You'll never know," said Inuyasha, smiling and not paying attention to what she said. He jumped against Naraku and took his sword to his back to cut him in two, but stopped when Naraku pulled a human dressed like Nana and Aoi with one of his tentacles.

"Naïve as always…"

And you are a coward as always!"

Naraku laughed and threw the train driver to outside of the still moving train.

"I'll get him!" exclaimed Gitsune.

She kissed Inuyasha on his cheek, making him and Naraku to open wide their eyes. Inuyasha felt like if he just reborn again. Knowing that no one beside him and Naraku was on that train, he screamed loud while Gitsune went out of the train with a jump to catch the falling man.

"Kaze no Kizu!"

Naraku cursed and the Wind Scar crashed against him, destroying his body and the remains of the train. Inuyasha jumped out as the explosion grew due to the combustible body of Naraku inside of the train.

The train stopped at last, burning like hell itself. Inuyasha landed on the ground of asphalt. And then he jumped into the train again, as he could hear screams and sirens around. He could even sense a flying object approaching from behind of those buildings.

Once in the remaining trash which was now that train, Inuyasha searched for Naraku, even when he knew that the one which he was talking with a while ago was just the burned puppet that was now on his hands.

Cursing, he jumped out of there, before the humans and their mess and noise arrived there.

Setsura opened her eyes when she heard the fuss outside of her room and Kejouro's. The members of the clan were running from here to there, exclaiming about what they just heard in the news. So Inuyasha did it again, for what she could heard. He and Gitsune were seen, one in the middle of a burning railway and the other catching a man falling from the highs of that railway.

Setsura was worried for them. And at the same time she was glad, but she did not wanted to acknowledge that her happiness was because that date had not go as it was supposed. She felt like trash, thought.

"That idiot can't be without doing a mess!" said Ichigo, coming out of the room he shared with Inuyasha.

"What happened?" asked Rikuo, coming out of the building with his night coat over his nude torso.

"Apparently Inuyasha and Gitsune-san ran into trouble in the city," explained Wakana, in a nightgown as well. "Where is Tsurara? She had not came to sleep yet."

"She is…"

"I will go pick him up," said Ichigo quickly, in part to get the attention away from Rikuo who, despite being on his night form, was blushing like never before.

"That won't be necessary," said Setsura, also happy for her daughter and sure of what she was saying. "Those two will come by soon."

Nurarihyon appeared, and like Rikuo, he looked like if he had been interrupted in the middle of a battle.

"That boy again?" said he. "I guess if it was not coming tonight that would happen tomorrow."

"Yeah," conceded Ichigo, sitting in the grass of the courtyard, while a yawning Kana and Yura approached to him. "He wouldn't have destroyed that train if it was not absolutely necessary. So, Naraku or Aizen were there, or some of their offspring."

They stayed silent. It was 3 a.m. already. And they would not thought that that could happen just then, when the things looked like if they were setting quiet for a while.

Setsura was so nervous that she approached to the main door of the house and stayed there, waiting for those two to return.

Inuyasha found Gitsune by her smell a little while after he left the remains of the train behind. On a crowded street where she mixed herself with the citizens to not call unwanted attention. She was so glad seeing him happy to know that she managed to save that man from a certain death, that she was happy about that herself. If Inuyasha was giving her that glare for every time she save a human, she felt like doing it more often.

He guided her to a lonely alley were he let her climb on his back to go home with her. Despite not seen where the train took them, he carried her in the right way. And soon they reached Ukiyoe Town, the place from where they parted in first place.

"I want to see the face of Setsura when I tell her our adventure," said Gitsune, pressing her body to the back of Inuyasha, and resting her head on his shoulder. "She must be dying of concern for us."

"Really?" said Inuyasha. "I am so happy that she did not come with us…"

"Are you serious?" asked Gitsune, seriously. "Don't you..?

"That was dangerous," said Inuyasha, thinking in loud voice. "She is so fragile to be in situations like that."

Gitsune breathed, relieved. Inuyasha was trying to protect Setsura from danger and not to having her away from him. That was so cute from him, that she almost ignore the other thing he said.

"So, I am not fragile?" asked she, pulling his ears.

"Like Setsura, I doubt it," said Inuyasha, straight as always. "Stop it."

"So weren't you worried about me?" asked Gitsune, pretending to be upset.

"Of course I was," said Inuyasha still jumping. "I thought I could lose that battle for my anxiety for you."

That words disarmed Gitsune. She just wanted to have him face to face and kiss the whole hell of him, but she contented with just embracing him even more, and press her face against his.

Soon they reached the main house of the Nura Clan. Inuyasha headed towards it from one of the walls and jumping in he landed with big leaps in the middle of the crowded courtyard. All of the clan were talking loud to him and Gitsune, but he was searching for Setsura and Ichigo.

He was about to stop his last leap, when Setsura appeared and by little he did not hit her.

When he saw her, running to their encounter, she looked so white and beautiful that he felt like embracing her, holding her on his arms and… The wind was moving her long hair and her clothes gently, her face showed worry for them, and her lips were gracefully open in a beautiful smile when she reached them.

"Are you two okay?"

He stopped at last, since that last leap seemed to have lasted hours. And she embraced him fiercely, resting her head on his other shoulder, just like Gitsune was doing with the other.

"Those two can't be more obvious," said someone, and Inuyasha heard it.

"Of course we are," said he to Setsura, pretending proudness and security of himself. "Did you doubt it?"

"Not for a moment," smiled her, separating from him a little.

"Told you," said Gitsune, on one of Inuyasha's ears.

Happy, he separated from Setsura and left Gitsune down. He walked to Ichigo and Nurarihyon, feeling a little dizzy, by some reason.

"What happened?" asked Ichigo. He would have time later to scold Inuyasha about those two women.

"Naraku was on that thing called train," explained Inuyasha. "That bastard was like if nothing happened the nights before, and is doing something with the humans in this city."

"Is that so?" asked Rikuo. "That's not impossible, if he could have yakuzas on his side those nights."

"The problem is with who he is having business," said Nurarihyon, embracing Youhime who had just appeared on his side. "People in the government? The army? The police?"

"Either way, we have to find it out."

Inuyasha said that convinced. And more when he felt two pair of arms holding his.

"Well, my boy," said Nurarihyon. "I guess we cannot have anything else tonight, so I recommend you to sleep now."

"Sleep? We can start to search for them!" yelled Inuyasha, but a punch over his head, courtesy of Ichigo silenced him.

"We will go tomorrow," said he. "I would like to go now too," recognized Ichigo, "but we can't keep worrying them here."

He said the last in low voice, just to let Inuyasha know, and Gitsune and Setsura due to their proximity to Inuyasha. Inuyasha sighed.

"Al right then," said he, and letting himself go from the grasp of Setsura and Gitsune, he jumped high to land into the little lake of the house.

"What are you doing?" asked Ichigo.

"He is cleaning himself," said Setsura, laughing with a hand near of her mouth.

"Talk of a weird way to clean himself," said Ichigo. "Can't you just enter into the shower?"

"That thing which releases hot water? I don't think so."

"You fight against fire every single day!"

"That's different."

They all laughed. If the things were to be like that from then on, they could get used to it easily.

And suddenly, a hint of inspiration came to Setsura's mind, as she saw Inuyasha floating in the water. She was suddenly so decided that she felt like putting her plan on action right then.
