"Whoa, wow what is this place?"

InuYasha looked around. Miroku had led him to a cliff at the top of a valley behind Kaede's Village. It was absolutely beautiful, there were many big houses, lots of people, children playing with dogs in the fields, cats sleeping among the flowers, birds singing in the trees, the wind blew puffy clouds in the bright blue sky, the river was so clean you could see the rocks on the bottom floor. At the top of some concrete steps under a red wooden arch was a main house busy with people talking and selling on the planks surrounding it. Curtains hung covering the windows to see inside and the door was framed with grandly crafted architecture, statues on every corner.

"Excuse me there." Miroku asked one of the vendors. "Do you know where the holding lockers are?"

"In the main door and left down the hall." The man pointed.

"Thank you. Come on InuYasha, I think we're nearing the end of our quest."

"Finally, the afternoon is getting late."

Miroku led InuYasha to a locker with the same number as the key, they opened the shed and gasped, "Look InuYasha, there are two parcels in this sack!"

"It's the gifts we finally found them! Ha, ha! But wait, why would they be here, what would we be doing here?"

"I dunno, let's see what else there is." Miroku dug in the locker and found some more little trinkets.

"Hmm, let me have a look see in here." InuYasha poked his head in and pulled out a scroll and opened it. "Ohoyo!"

"Nani?"

"Dude, we speak Japanese! Konichiwa!"

"Baka hanyo, no duh we are in Japan, where this damn anime originated!"

"Hai? Gomen."

"Dameno oni!"

"Hentai!"

"Otsouri!"

"Doesn't work coming from you."

"Shut up."

"Look, is there a sword in there?"

"I dunno let me check."

"There'd better be." A new voice made the duo turn.

"YOU!" InuYasha cried seeing Jakotsu with a man.

"This is my brother Bankotsu."

"Where is my halberd? We paid you in advance yesterday!"

"Well that explains the money for all these things." InuYasha thought.

"Hey look what I found." Miroku struggled to pull out a huge sword.

"Ah, Banryu!" Jakotsu cried as Bankotsu took it. "Oh thank you InuYasha!" She kissed him. "And you too kind monk." He kissed him too. The boys looked at each other, feeling grossed out major.

"Thank you for finally completing the transaction, better late than never." Bankotsu shook their hands. The two brothers hugged each other happily and left.

Miroku and InuYasha turned to each other and shrugged, going back to the cell, "What about the other sword Miroku, we still haven't found it, and we've ended our search. Now what do we do to save the girls?"

"What do we know about the sword InuYasha?"

"That it's very mystical and mysterious and powerful nobody but the demon owner has seen it."

"And so that means nobody really knows what it looks like right?"

"Yeah, so?"

"I've got an idea." Miroku smirked as he saw a vendor selling swords.

"That was Miroku and InuYasha!" Kohaku set down the telegram from the messenger. "They have the sword Tokajin!" Everyone cheered. Kagome and Sango were happy but surprised.

"That was from the lecher and the mutt." Koga smiled after picking up the telegram. "We have to find the priestess so I can get my pleasure."

"Are you sure this will work?" InuYasha asked.

"Yes just trust me, they'll be here." Miroku nodded confidently.

"There they are!" Kohaku's dad cried. "Now, give us the sword."

"Give us the girls." Miroku held the sword close.

"Same time." InuYasha spoke up and the slayers nodded. Miroku handed Kohaku's dad the sword as he let go of the girls. Everyone cheered and the girls were untied. "Kagome!"

"Sango!"

"InuYasha!"

"Miroku!"

"And I'm Koga." Everyone turned to see the wolf demon. "Where is it?" The two couples pointed at Kohaku and the slayers. "Give me that sword." Koga stormed over, Ginta and Hakaku letting Kaede and Shippo go as the four ran over.

"No way, who are you of any importance anyway wolf demon?" Kohaku's dad growled.

"I'm here, now where is the jewel?" Kikyo appeared.

"Man, this is really getting out of hand." Kohaku frowned.

"The jewel!"

"The sword!"

"Where is Tokajin!" Jaken and Rin cried, everyone turned to them.

"You can't have this!" Kohaku cried, clenching the sword with a growl. "We must use the Tokajin and the sacred jewel shards, you have no right to possess the sword!"

"But that is not the Tokajin." Jaken blinked. Everyone froze and turned to InuYasha and Miroku.

"Uh, dude?" InuYasha gulped.

"I know, just slowly start walking backwards and get away." Miroku nodded quietly.

"Wait, let me just get the last of the stuff in our locker." InuYasha pulled out the pack and put it on his back. "Hang on, looks like there's one last thing left." He pulled out something. "Don't wanna forget it."

"Whoa." Miroku gasped. "What an ominous sword, feel the power of the aura omitting from it!"

"Huh?" InuYasha looked up at his hand.

"AH, it's Tokajin! Quickly, give it to me!" Jaken cried. "The jewel shards have touched it, the energy is unstable!"

"No, don't give him the sword." Kikyo growled. "Only I can purify it."

"No, she can't hold it as a human, it will overpower her and the world will be in danger as it controls her body to bend it to its will."

"No, he is not the rightful owner."

"My master is!"

"He will use it for evil and destroy the world."

"You have to believe us, your brother Sesshomaru is the owner of that sword." Jaken turned to InuYasha. "We ran into each other last night here during the party."

"No you ran into me, remember? How could you forget me."

"Stop copying me."

"Stop copying me!"

"Oh man I dunno who to believe." Kohaku's brain was splitting in pain.

"Wait, stop. I can settle this." InuYasha stepped forward and Miroku followed his lead. "If we really did meet with you last night at the party, you'll know the answer to this question."

"But dude man we don't remember last night." Miroku whispered.

"Sh, I have a plan." InuYasha looked at them. "Who drew the winning prize at the number drawing?" InuYasha looked at Kikyo, then at Jaken. They looked at each other.

"You did." Jaken nodded.

Rin smiled, "The vendor gave you a whole bunch of boxes as the prize."

"That's correct!" InuYasha cried out.

"The sword!" Jaken grew happy as he held it. "We did it Rin!"

"But wait, how did you know?" Sango asked.

"Yeah, I thought you didn't remember yesterday?" Kagome added.

"Yeah, the prize." InuYasha pointed to the old banner that still hung.

Miroku read it in awe, "The winner of tonight's lottery prize picking will get a year's supply of ninja snacks!"

"Oh you had a plan and it worked, you saved the day!" Kagome cheered.

"No!" Kikyo screamed and began to power up.

"Whoa what's going on?" Kohaku gasped.

"Master!" InuYasha heard a small voice and looked to see Myoga jump up. "Quickly, you must do something before the priestess attacks and destroys everyone!"

"Myoga, what are you doing here if there's danger?"

"Uh, ahem." Myoga gulped but InuYasha already saw the beautiful ladies at the buffet.

"You are such a perv Myoga." InuYasha smirked.

"What are we going to do?" Miroku gulped as the dark power began to swarm around the priestess. "How could the dark chi take over her body?"

"Because that's a fake body, that's not the real Kikyo of the past, it's been warped by evil, we have to do something." InuYasha's eyes shook. "But what?" He didn't want to hurt Kikyo, but if he didn't do something, something bad could happen… to Kagome.
