"Wow, I didn't think you had a conflict with Naraku." Kagome said. Once again they were on a dirt path to another adventure, but to what? Nukude stopped for a moment. ".Maybe I should leave you." Nukude said. "What? Why?" Shippou cried. "I don't know what it was back then, that killed everything but me." Nukude replied. "But why leave?" Kagome asked. "Maybe I'm cursed. I don't know; maybe I should just go to a place without anyone, or anything around." Nukude sighed. "Cursed? But. Huh?" Kagome stopped as she noticed Nukude had just vanished. "Gone."

"If only there was a way to communicate with you two." Nukude sighed. "You'd be able to tell me what it was that killed everyone including you." The two spirits looked at each other, and sighed. They wished to tell him what it was too, but being spirits that they are, robbed them of their speech. (No vocals you know.) Nukude sat on a rock within some woods, pretty secluded, but not entirely. "*gasp*, I hear footsteps." Nukude quickly jumped upon a branch, to see who.or what, was coming. "Jaken, where have you taken us now?" the figure appeared, it was Seshomarrou.

"I don't understand it milord, it has never wronged me before." Jaken said worriedly. "You have disappointed me once again Jaken." Seshomarrou said as he began squishing Jaken with his foot. "Please.mi.lord.I'm.sor.ry.ugh." Jaken fainted under the stress. "Ha! Serves you right Jaken, for misleading our lord!" Rin shouted. "Hm.It seems we are not alone." Seshomarrou said. Nukude gasped for a moment, but thought that it was no use, so he jumped down. "And you are?" Seshomarrou asked. "I should ask you the same." Nukude replied. "What!? How dare you insult the great lord Seshomarrou!?" Rin shouted. "Quiet Rin." Seshomarrou ordered.

"Yes milord!" Rin obediently replied. "Seshomarrou, I have never heard of you, but your scent, is almost that of someone I know." Nukude said. Seshomarrou's eye's narrowed. "Are you an ally of.Inu-yasha?" Seshomarrou asked. "Not at the moment. And how do you know of him?" Nukude replied. "I do not have to answer to the likes of you." Seshomarrou said. "Well, aren't we rude?" Nukude sighed. "Jaken, Rin, come." Seshomarrou ordered, and they walked off. "Hm, strange how he has friends with that attitude." Nukude sighed once more. "I wonder what happened to Nukude." Kagome sighed. "Feh, he was no use anyway." Inu-yasha said. "Oh come on! He's just as strong as you are!" Kagome shouted. "I WAS WEAK FROM HIS DAMN HAMMER!" Inu-yasha shouted back.

Nukude continued his journey alone with Tao and Tai by his side. Up ahead of them, was an ominous looking castle. "That scent.it's unmistakable. The scent of Naraku." Nukude quickly broke into a sprint to the ominous castle with Tao and Tai trailing behind. "Well he wouldn't have hit you if YOU hadn't gone nuts using his spells!" Kagome shot. "What's that supposed to mean?! I was getting him back!" Inu-yasha shot back. "There they go again." Miroku sighed. "Why can't they ever agree on one thing?" Shippou asked. The two continued bickering until Inu-yasha heard something. "It sounds like someone screamed." Inu-yasha said. "HEY! HAS EVERYONE FORGOTTEN ABOUT ME!?!?!" Koga shouted. "Koga? When did you get here?" Kagome asked. "You too? GRR!!!"

"Well now it's my turn to start shouting." Koga said. "I CANT BELIEVE YOU WERE BEAT BY A HALF WOLF DEMON!!!" Koga bolted. "Hey you're right Koga; he might even be stronger than you." Inu-yasha said. "WHAT!?!?!?!? That's absurd! I could whip him and you!" Koga bolted some more. "Yeah right, when pigs fly!" Inu-yasha bolted back. "Hey! What's that?" Shippou asked as he pointed upward. It was a pig with wings, flying. Koga smirked as Inu-yasha said, "Ok, scratch that last bit. Instead when humans fly! Ha! Top that!" "Uh, actually in my era people DO fly." Kagome said. "Ha! So I will be able to beat you! Uh. when exactly is your era Kagome?" Koga asked. "Oh, I'd say 500 years from now. "WHAT!?!?!?" Koga shouted.
