A gloomy village surrounded in fog was all around Inu-Yasha. To make matters worse, there were no villagers. Instead, there were fiendish-looking people that hunched as they walked…right toward Inu-Yasha. It occurred to him that the people where dead, yet they still hungered for living blood. "Oh, so you living mummies wanna fight, huh?" Inu-Yasha sneered as Tetsusaiga was unsheathed. "I'll send you all back to your damned graves! TETSUSAIGA!!!"

With almost a single swing of the mighty katana, the dead were vanquished. He made sure that each horrible being was sent back to the afterlife. As soon as he had defeated the creatures, he heard Link call for him. "About time you showed up!" he scoffed. "Inu-Yasha…" Link began. He seemed hesitant to talk to his companion this way. "The tasks ahead are too dangerous for you to handle. Go back to the Lost Woods and into the Traveler's Stone Well. That'll take you back to your home."

Inu-Yasha in truth wanted to go home very badly…yet he didn't want to leave behind a friend. "I don't wanna sound sappy," he said to Link, getting his undivided attention. "…But I'll never forget what we went through Link. Thanks for…being a friend." Link smiled as he took Inu-Yasha's wrist into his hand a shook it. "Thanks to you too, Inu-Yasha." He said in a proud voice. Just before Inu-Yasha could turn to leave, a familiar blue light flew into his face.

"YOU!" shrieked Navi. "How dare you squish me and then steal my companion! You think you got more power than me?! Well I'll show you, doggy-boy! I'll prove to you that I can kick your sorry-" Inu-Yasha once again squashed Navi with a single clap. Then he said a final goodbye to Link and made his way back to the Traveler's Stone Well.

"Whew!" said Inu-Yasha as he climbed out of the well. "What a trip!" As he walked out of the forest, he heard a familiar girl's voice calling for him. "Kagome! You're back!" he ran over to her side. "Hello Inu-Yasha!" Kagome exclaimed. "Shippou said that you were gone the whole time I was away. Where were you?" "Well…" Inu-Yasha chuckled. "Let's just say I was on my own vacation! Wanna hear about it?"
