Legal Note: I don't own Inu-yasha. Why not? Because I lost it in a bid for copyright. The winner was Rumiko Takahashi. It helps that she made it and I just wanted to be able to say I owned it. Anyway lets move on.

"No." The woman in miko clothing said sternly.

"You mean you won't cure me?!" I stood ready to kill her.

"It's not that. I cannot cure you."

"You mean I came all this way for nothing!" I plopped down in an obscene manner.

"However, I may know a cure for your predicament."

"You do? TellmeTellme!" I grew rather impatient with this woman. She wasn't what I was expecting. She was actually pretty, in a human way. She had dark brown hair and was young, maybe only in her thirties if even. How could this Megumi be a powerful and wise miko.

"Calm down. I will tell you this under one condition." She emphasized the one with her index finger.

"What's that?"

"With your true form back you must do only good virtuous deeds."

"Pheh. I already end up doing that." I sank my head. "Time after time because of that damn Kagome."

"Hold onto her then. She has done wonders for you."

"Oh shut up and tell me the cure!" I felt as if my face was red. Was I embarrassed or angry. I'll settle with anger.

"Okay. All you have to do is make an antidote by using this herb." She handed me some stupid leaf.

"That's it?" It sounded too easy.

"No. You must mix this with the blood of the demon who cursed you. It makes a paste that you eat." That's when I grew disgusted.

"Eat the demon's blood? Ugh. Fine whatever! How do I get it's blood when the demon no longer lives?"

"Go to its body."

"What if, I had, totally destroyed it with Tetsuaiga?" I felt a bit embarrassed now.

"You, killed it? Well, I guess the blood would be on your sword still. You can get it from there. Simple."

"Simple? Simple! I'll give you simple!" I went to strike her, but she threw me with her damn powers across the shrine.

"Are ye still breathing Inu-yasha?" She peered out the hole I had made.

"Y-Yes. I believe so." I said staggering up.

"Too bad then." She gave a smile and walked inside.

"Stupid wench!" I jumped in only to be hurled out again.

"Pheh. Fine you damn woman! I'm leaving."

I started off when I realized Sessho-maru had the Tetsuaiga. The one mean to break this damned curse I'd have to fight him and get it back. Only, how can I?

"How do I fight that damn brother of mine without Tetsuaiga or my demon side? Of course! Toto-sai." I ran off in hopes of finding that senile bastard.

"A weapon? For you Inu-yasha?" The old man stood there staring at me a moment before bursting out in laughter. I whacked him over the head.

"Why was I laughing again? Who are you?" he said scratching his head.

"Gah! I'm Inu-yasha! You made the Tetsuaiga for my father."

"Oh yeah. What do you want?"

"A new sword or something so I can get Tetsuaiga back from my brother!" I was so close to ripping his damn head off.

"Have you always had black hair?"

"Grr! Listen will y-" I jumped for him but he sent me to the ground with his hammer.

"Why should I make you another weapon if you lost the last?" He said sitting atop his hammer.

"I only lost the other because I've become human. I need a weapon I can use in my present human state against Sessho-maru!" I stood up.

"Sessho-maru? Okay then I'll make you a weapon."

"Great." We stood there as moments passed. "Well get started!"

"Oh but I need to test you first."

"Okay tell me the test." I grumbled at annoyed.

"Test? This isn't school you know. Why are you here?"

"Stupid seni-" I lunged again only to be hit into the ground once again.

"Oh right. You will go to the nearby village and defeat the ogre Akandoji."

"Pheh. Sounds simple enough." I stood once more brushing off the dirt.

"Simple?" That's when the old fool started laughing again. What's his problem?

I went off towards the village not too far off. Defeating a stupid ogre won't be hard at all.

Yeah! The next chapter will be my favorite as of yet. You get to see human Inu-yasha in action as he fights the legendary ogre Akandoji. (He's from the Momotaro [Peach boy] legend.)
