"Yay! You did it Kagome!" Shippo cried as he jumped into Kagome's arms.

"Uh... Kaede, what did I just do?" Kagome looked at the old woman confused.

"I didn't just put that rosary on him to improve his looks, It is a magical rosary that will react to the first person who says a subduing word. Each word has its own reaction. Down, forces the wearer to the ground... I seem to remember it doing something else to..." Kaede said looking up thoughtfully.

"Kuso, that hurt." InuYasha cussed as he stumbled to his feet, "Your going to regret doing that B*ch!"

With that he went at a charge again.

"Down, Boy!" Kagome squeaked, clutching Shippo with fright.

"Kuso!" InuYasha cursed as his leap was brought to an abrupt end.

"It's no use InuYasha, you are now unable to harm Kagome in any way." Kaede said firmly in an effort to stop his foolish assassin attempts.

"D*me it!" he cursed (yet again) as he picked himself gingerly off the ground, rubbing his head softly as he made a mad attempt to escape from his verbal attacker.

Kagome was just about to let out a sigh of relief as she saw InuYasha dash away, when suddenly it was like he hit a barrier of energy. Sending him flying back landing near Kagome's startled form.

"Oh, that's right!" Kaede cried, "The down command also makes it so the commander and the commandie are unable to be separated."

"What do you mean by not separated!?" Kagome cried in surprise, not liking the way it sounded, oh no not at all!

"You and InuYasha will be unable to be more them about 50 feet apart." Kaede said calmly.

"NANI!?!?" Kagome and InuYasha cried at the same time.

"Well then I guess I will just have to wait to kill you." InuYasha glared darkly at Kagome, "You can't stay awake forever."

"I would not think of that if I were ye." Kaede cut in.

"And why the H*** not?" InuYasha asked glaring at the old woman.

"If Kagome is to die then you will follow." She said calmly.

"So what, I cursed with this Demon boy for the rest of my life! I'm starting to have my fill of curses." Kagome said frustrated.

"Oh and being with you is going to be a bundle of roses?" InuYasha snarled back.

"You brought this upon yourself!" Kagome snapped back befor turning to Kaede, "Is there anyway to get this curse thing undone?"

"Aye, it wouldn't have been this much of a problem if you had said a different subduing work, Down happens to be one of the least used commands, and for good reasons as you can see, so I didn't expect you to use it." Kaede explained.

"So how do we get the thing off?" Kagome asked looking at the necklace around InuYasha's neck wearily.

"The Jewel of Four Souls." She stated calmly.
