(Kaeru no uta ga. kikoetekuru yo.)
Nobunaga tried to save princess Tsuyu from the frog demon's evil clutches, but things weren't looking good for him at all. The frog had dodged all attacks and had even encased him in an egg. If it had not been for InuYasha, he may have been done for.
InuYasha leapt at the frog demon and brought the Tetsusaiga down on its head. It hit with a clung and stunned the creature long enough for InuYasha to cut Nobunaga out of the egg.
"I said don't help me," Nobunaga said as he climbed out of the egg.
InuYasha scoffed. "Look," he said, pointing his finger at Nobunaga, "I remember last time we fought this thing, and you couldn't do anything about it then. What makes you think it's gonna be any different now?"
"It is different," Nobunaga whispered. "I can beat it."
InuYasha frowned. "Fine then. But don't come crawling to me when it bats your sorry ass into the ground."
Nobunaga smiled. "I don't think that will be happening anytime soon." And with that, he dashed to the frog demon, who was had already gotten to its feet. He swung his sword at the creature, striking it across the face. One of its eyes got cut open in the slash, and spilled red fluid.
The frog was enraged now. It jumped at Nobunaga, swinging its arm frantically. He ducked out of the way, rolling on the ground. The frog made another strike, and again missed.
InuYasha smiled.
(Maybe there's hope for him after all.)
Then the frog growled loudly. It seemed to be calling for something. The others looked around and saw a wave of frogs come from the swamp. They headed directly for the bulk of the group, who were standing off to the side of the real fight.
Sango brought out her boomerang and hurled it at the oncoming horde of frog demons, slicing all of them to pieces.
"You're getting good at that," Miroku smiled.
"I'm just warming up," Sango smirked.
Nobunaga continued fighting the frog demon, while the rest of OmegaNihon battled the smaller frogs. Kagome wondered how all these things had so much power. Then she saw it. Embedded in the frog's back was a glowing red thing.
"Nobunaga!" she called. "His back! There's a shard of the Shikon jewel!"
Nobunaga nodded and dashed behind the frog and slashed. His sword cut through the creature, but it failed to cut out the shard. It turned around quickly and smiled wickedly. Then the wicked smile turned to an evil laugh.
"Fool!" it roared. "Do not think that a weakling human like you could hope to destroy a powerful demon like me!" It lashed once more at him, striking him across the face. He fell to the ground, covering his face with his hands. The strike had left a gash leading from his left cheek up to that side of his forehead. His left eye had been cut too.
It walked slowly up to him, licking his lips. "Say good-bye, boy." Just when things looked their worst, Nobunaga slid under the frog's legs and slash its back one more time. He knocked the Shikon shard from out of its back, and it fell to the ground, dead.
"Good-bye," Nobunaga smirked. He picked up the shard and walked over to Tsuyu, who was still unconscious. Then the ground began to rumble. More amphibious demons leapt from the marsh.
Nobunaga picked Tsuyu up in his arms and lead the retreat, joined by Hiyoshimaru. The eleven of them now ran from a massive tidal wave of frog, toad and salamander demons. Kagome noticed that deep in the center of the wave was another shard.
"Shippou," she said, "Turn into a bow." He did, and she fired an arrow right at the shard. It hit it, and embedded it into a tree. The wave of demons disappeared right before their eyes. She walked over to the tree and grabbed the shard, and then they all ran out of the forest.
It was unanimously agreed upon that now that they were home, they should all return to their respected houses for rest. Nobunaga brought Tsuyu and Hiyoshimaru back to his place. He figured he could take care of her until she got better. Miroku winked at him when he heard this, causing Nobunaga to blush.
(Gigady gigady gi.ga.dy.)
Miroku and Sango arrived at their place shortly after. They were shocked to find that Kirara wasn't waiting for them. Sango smiled. "She's probably at Kagura's, looking after Kohaku."
"We'll go see them in the morning," Miroku said. "But for now we should rest."
Sango nodded and the two of them went to bed. Separate beds, mind you; despite Miroku's protests.
(One of these days we'll have just one bed. I can't wait for that day.)
Sesshoumaru returned to his creepy mansion to find Jaken and Rin waiting up for him.
"Lord Sesshoumaru!" the little green creature yelled excitedly, "Welcome back! We didn't expect you home so early- " Rin interrupted him by running up to Sesshoumaru and giving him a big hug. Her eyes began to fill with tears; she was so happy he was home.
Sesshoumaru smiled. "What have you two been up to since I was gone?"
"Not much," Jaken admitted. "It's been really boring here."
Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes. "I'm not that exciting. You two should go out and make some friends."
(Like Kagura's pests maybe.?)
Meanwhile, Kouga had returned to his cave. The guarding wolves were excited to see their master returning home. They jumped and danced excitedly around him as he entered into the cave. He stood in front of his bed, and collapsed face first onto it.
"It's good to be home," he whispered and closed his eyes.
The return journey had ended for only half of OmegaNihon. InuYasha, Shippou, Kagome and Juuroumaru still had to go to Kagura's. They had things to discuss. They arrived at her place earlier than they expected, but it was still getting dark and cold outside.
InuYasha was about to knock on the door, when Juuroumaru stepped forward and opened it.
(Oh ya. He lives here, doesn't he.)
He shrugged and the four of them went inside. As expected, Kohaku, Kanna and Hakudoushi were having a free-for- all on the Play Master 6000. What wasn't expected, however, was the fact that Kohaku was winning.
(The curse is broken!)
"Oh," Hakudoushi said, "Hello. Welcome back." He didn't take his eyes off the game as he said this.
"Where's Kagura?" Kagome asked.
"Kitchen," was a droned response from Kohaku.
Shippou sat down on the couch and Juuroumaru picked up the fourth controller. Meanwhile, Kagome and InuYasha went into the kitchen and found Kagura sitting at the table, drinking a cup of coffee and reading the Nikkei.
She looked up at them and gasped in shock. "I didn't think you guys had come back yet."
"Sorry to disappoint," InuYasha muttered. "So, how's every little thing-"
"We don't have time for small talk," Kagome interrupted. "We have something to tell you."
They took their seats and began to fill Kagura in on their fights with the ice army, about how they found the woman, who turned out to be Queen La Saia
(!!!)
and their battles with Friezer and the Kooriookami.
"We were also attacked by ice demons," Kagura said. "As was Kikyou."
A wash of dread swept over InuYasha and Kagome upon hearing this. If the ice demons attacked them, that means they knew where they lived. InuYasha, Kagome and Kagura continued discussing the ice army and its queen, KooriKisaki and failed to realize they were being watched. A single Saimyoushou hell wasp was peering through the kitchen window.
When it obtained all the information it needed, it flew back to its master to relay the news.
Inside his hidden castle, Naraku was busy preparing for a little trip.
"KooriKisaki," he muttered under his breath. He continued stirring the giant pot in front of him. "Perhaps she could help me."
Suddenly, from inside the pot, a purple hand emerged and grabbed the rim. Naraku smiled. "Welcome back, Goshinki."
The big purple monster stepped out of the pot. "It's good to be back," it growled. The two other pots behind Naraku started to bubble.
"They're almost ready as well," he smiled. "All is going as planned. Tomorrow, I will find this fortress and join forces with the ice queen."
"I know," Goshinki smirked. "You don't have to tell me anything. I know all and see all."
(Because I can read minds. heehee.)
Naraku rolled his eyes. "Indeed." The pot closest to them began to bubble more rapidly. They noticed a small grayish scythe rise from the bubbling mass. As this was going on, Juuroumaru felt complete loss of all his senses for a split second, and then everything went blank for him.
Nobunaga tried to save princess Tsuyu from the frog demon's evil clutches, but things weren't looking good for him at all. The frog had dodged all attacks and had even encased him in an egg. If it had not been for InuYasha, he may have been done for.
