"I can go on now,"
Sesshomaru announced.
"Good," Kaede replied. "Let's go! Hey! Keep your fingers OFF that mushroom, idiot..."
"Hey! Are you calling me an idiot?"
"Yes! Yes I am! Now, do you want to find Koga, or not?"
"Fine..." Sesshomaru replied sullenly. Suddenly, he started weeping, and sobbed into Jaken's robe. "I can't go on, Jakky! I can't!"
"It's all right..." Jaken replied soothingly. "It'll be all right..."
"Well..." Hakudoshi commented. "This is interesting. But are we going to go, or not?"
"Yes!" Kaede replied firmly. "Jaken, keep Sesshomaru happy, alright? Now, COME ON!"
"I wonder how powerful the Placemat-no-Tama is?" Naraku wondered as they ambled along the path. "Can it REALLY turn us all into placemats?"
"O'course," Jaken said. "It's supposed to be the most pewrful jewel out there, much better than the Shikon-no-Tama and the Screwdriver-no-Tama."
"What a bunch of losers," Sango remarked. "Hiten and Manten, y'know, trying to find the Screwdriver-no-Tama. They're mad. Who would want to be a screwdriver?"
"Yeah," Kikyo said. "Midoriko, too... who would have thought?"
"I thought Midoriko was dead," Miroku said, confused.
"I dunno," Kikyo said. "Does it really matter?"
"Slice that Shippo," Inuyasha muttered. "I'll slice him through with my Tetsusaiga."
They had come to another grove, of walnut trees. Sesshomaru picked one off the tree and ate it. No one noticed, until later...
"I have a tummy ache," he moaned, clutching his side. "And it hurts!"
"Again?" Kaede groaned. "Why?"
"It was that walnut," Sesshomaru said, his eyes narrowing with pain. "It... it was yucky. But I was hungry, Kaede..." He stopped at the look on Kaede's face.
"Jaken," she seethed. "Please get some chains."
"Erm... okay," Jaken said. He let go of Sesshomaru's hand, and ran into the forest. He returned later with a length of metal rope stuff.
"Good," Kaede said. "Please affix them around Sesshomaru's neck, like a dog collar and leash."
Jaken did so.
"Good. Now, lead him on, tummy ache or not, and DON'T LET HIM EAT ANY MORE ... STUFF!"
"Alrighty," Jaken said. He tugged the makeshift leash, and Sesshomaru dejectedly followed, clutching his side.
"Good," Kaede replied. "Let's go! Hey! Keep your fingers OFF that mushroom, idiot..."
"Hey! Are you calling me an idiot?"
"Yes! Yes I am! Now, do you want to find Koga, or not?"

"Hey! What's that in the distance?" Miroku yelled, pointing at something on the horizon.
"It looks like... Shippo!" Kaede called. Everyone tensed, and Sesshomaru strained against his leash.
To be continued...
AN: Um, I don't really know what happened here... yep.
