Chapter 6
Inuyasha leapt off of the well and started to walk a little bit deeper into the forest. He held up his arm and poked one of his nails into it, drawing blood. "This ought to bring the little blood-sucker out of hiding." Inuyasha thought. Sure enough, Myouga smelled Inuyasha's blood and flew straight to the small cut on his arm. "Hey, Myouga. Where have you been hiding?" Inuyasha said sarcastically. "I wasn't hiding! I was.. uh.. trying to think of a way for you to defeat Naraku!" Myouga sputtered. "It's amazing how you always disappear when I need your help the most. And by the way, Naraku's dead!" Inuyasha exclaimed. "You killed him?" Myouga asked. "Yeah. Kagome and I finished him off for good." Inuyasha answered. "How did a half-demon like you kill someone like Naraku?" Myouga asked, realizing immediately that his words came out wrong. Myouga was quickly flattened and flicked to the ground. "Sorry, Lord Inuyasha." Myouga said, trying to un-flatten himself and avoid another squishing. "Was there something else you wanted?"
"Actually, yeah, there is. I have a question to ask you." Inuyasha said. "Go ahead, my lord. I'll try my best to answer it." Myouga responded. "How does a half-demon age, Myouga? Will I age like Kagome, or will I live as long as a normal demon?" Inuyasha asked. "Well, a half-demon like you will age as a normal demon would. You will out-live Kagome by hundreds of years, presuming you die of natural causes." Myouga answered. "Then I know what I will use the jewel for. Thanks, Myouga." Inuyasha said, turning around and flying towards the well. "Inuyasha saying thanks? What's going on?" Myouga wondered to himself.
Inuyasha waited by the well until nightfall, when Kagome came by ready to go home for the night. "Inuyasha. What were you doing the last few hours? I missed you." Kagome asked. "I was thinking about some things, and I had to have a talk with Myouga." Inuyasha answered. "Were you waiting for me, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. "Yes. I wanted to tell you that I have decided on what I want to do with the jewel!" Inuyasha responded. "Y..You have? What will you do?" Kagome asked wearily. "It's a surprise. Just let me have it." Inuyasha said. "But.." Kagome tried to say something, but Inuyasha stopped her with a "Trust me". Kagome obliged, and she put her three shards together with the rest of the jewel; it became completely round once again. She handed the jewel to Inuyasha, who swallowed it.
