I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while but, if any of you read the author's note then, you know I couldn't help it. But, I'm back again and with every intention of finishing this story within the upcoming month known as: July. But, I'm not making any promises because well, you know how those always backfire. Um...If anyone else went on vacation I hope you had a good time and uh...I got a few questions from some ppl that I haven't answered yet. Someone asked me what was the meiji guys name in the movie.( He's a guy in the movie). His name is either Arden or Arwen...Something like that. I am almost positive that it's Arwen but, I'll have to watch the movie again and see if they mention his name. Someone else asked me about Shippo! He's just not going be in here guys. He doesn't fit in my story so...Uh...Yeah.. Since he's such a coward I would've made him Bennie but...(Possible spoiler might not want to read what is ahead) He'd die then and I like Shippo so, I can't do that. Anyway...Enough explanations and answering of questions I'm pretty sure you all want to read the next chapter so, Here it is.

"Kagome, this is crazy talk!" Inuyasha stalked around the room angrily. Kagome swerved around him to her suitcase, which she was packing against his will.

"It is not crazy, we let him out and I intend to put him back."

"Wait a second! What's this 'we'?" Inuyasha growled at her while scooping up the clothes she'd gotten to put in her suitcase putting them back in the drawer.

"Fine! 'I'!" Kagome glowered at him,"I would've thought you'd want to help since it's partially your fault anyway."

"My fault!" Inuyasha looked more flustered then ever,"How is this my fault? You read that book! I told you not to read that stupid book!" Kagome thought of an excuse.

"Well...You brought me there!" Inuyasha looked as though a light bulb had just clicked above his head. Kagome regretted saying that.

"You're right. I agreed to just bring you there so, mission done. Contract terminated!"

"So that's all I am to you.. A contract?" Kagome sounded insulted.

"Not anymore." Inuyasha snorted as he left the room. Kagome began to follow him but, bumped into his back instead. He was gaping and staring at something though she couldn't see from behind him.

"What's the–!" She looked over his shoulder to see...frogs. Lots of them. Croaking and hopping all over the town. They were nearly everywhere. She gaped also, it was the only thing she could do. Her legs would not allow her to move even though she knew she needed to because there were not only frogs but, there were gnats. A lake of them heading straight towards them. Inuyasha legs obviously didn't have a problem with running because he took off. Back up the stairs. He grabbed her roughly as usual and they made it back to their hotel room slamming the door behind them. They closed all the windows also.

"Yeah..We..We gotta put him away." Inuyasha huffed as they leaned against the door. They were both too out of breath to argue anymore and Kagome just looked at him and smiled a 'I told you so..It's the right moral thing to do' smile. Inuyasha sighed.

Hojo had been surprised when Oniugmo had said there was someone that he wanted him to meet but, he decided it would be nice to have company. He hadn't had much since the incident in the tombs he'd been very paranoid and had to get used to having no eyes or a tongue. It was a weird uncontrollable torture. Wanting something...And not being able to see it or tell anyone about it without straining very hard to make his words understandable but, now he was here with company and they were having a nice cup of tea. Onigumo's 'friend', however said nothing and Onigumo did all the talking. His friend (even though Hojo couldn't see it) had a iron mask over his face and a cloak around his body. He was waiting patiently for something.

"I'm so pleased to meet ywou.." Hojo tried his best to enunciate his words so that he could be understood. He stretched his hand out and felt someone else touch it. It was Onigumo's voice that cut the tense air.

"My friend does not like to be touched. A silly eastern superstition, I'm afraid."

"Oh..I swee." Hojo slurred a few his last word. He pulled his hand back too quickly and knocked over the tea in front of him.

"Oh...Whoops..." Onigumo sneered,"The Prince thanks you for your hospitality.." Hojo looked genuinely happy at first, the next sentence changed that," And for your eyes... And for your tongue." Hojo started shaking and making panicky noises. No one heard him," But, there is still more to be done!" Onigumo talked over him," He must finish you off and consecrate the curse, you and your friends have brought on yourselves!" Onigumo finished and removed the mask. The last thing heard of from Hojo was a agonizing scream.

I wrote the author's intro thing up there DAYS ago. It's July now. Oh well.

Yeah, this one is short it took too long as it is. I'm sorry. I have no excuse this time. I was just being lazy. So, I'll try to get the next chapter up and at 'em soon. Other then that read and review. Oh yeah, and to Hojo Lovers I told you I apologized so, uh..yeah...there you go.
