DISCLAIMER: WOW over 800 hits, thank you, lol! Well, I spaced out and forgot the last chapter. I went 'oh crap' when I saw it in my documents, lol, so sorry for that. But, it's been a long strange trip eh...? lol. Thanx for reading, and as always, reviews make me live happy for those of you who actually DID read and then follow up with a review unlike the rest of you... you know who I'm talking about, you know who you are... until the next time!
Kikyo screamed as the power exploded from her body.
"Here, you must use the sword, only it is strong enough to defeat such power!" Kohaku cried.
"But no human can touch it without becoming warped like she has." Jaken replied.
"But I'm no human, I'm a half demon." InuYasha smirked, ran over and grabbed the Tokajin.
"Oh!" Jaken gasped in shock. "No, hey!"
"Kikyo!" InuYasha roared and looked up at her demonic presence. He was struggling within, his eyes shook as tears welled in the corners. "I know this isn't you, but it's still so hard. Please forgive me, you must find peace or else your spirit will wander the earth possessed by the overwhelming power of this evil sword." InuYasha choked and closed his eyes. "Please… FORGIVE ME!" He swung it… everyone gasped, he actually swung it… HE SWUNG IT! Kikyo screamed as the power swept over her. Everyone in the town gasped and looked up as the energy exploded.
"Whoa…!" Miroku gasped as the smoke cleared.
InuYasha panted and fell to his knees as he dropped the sword, "It's over…"
"And I'll be taking this back now." Jaken picked it up.
"Well I guess that's that now." Miroku approached them.
"Not yet, there's still one matter left at hand."
"What's that InuYasha?" Jaken asked.
"Dude, have you seen my shard?"
"You lost the shards?" Rin blinked.
"Wow, you guys were really drunk last night." Jaken smirked. "Well I'm afraid that after all this, I'm going to have to wipe your memory."
"But why?" Kohaku asked.
"Cause if Sesshomaru ever finds out about this, he'll kill me for working with humans and his little half brother!" Jaken stabbed his staff into the ground and a bright light flashed over the town and everyone in it blacked out.
Chirp, chirp. The birds were singing in the trees that morning as the sun rose over the horizon. Once again the half dog demon InuYasha woke up from a restless night sleep. Miroku yawned as he tended the fire.
"Morning boys." Hachi yawned.
"Morning Hachi." Miroku smirked as he took a drink. He stopped and took a double take, but then shrugged it off.
"Alright here's the plan." InuYasha was pep talking Miroku as they got ready to head down to see the girls. "We go give the girls our anniversary gifts."
"And then?"
"They give us the special presents the promised us for our first year together."
"And then?"
"And maybe we'll go visit Kaede, I'm hungry."
"And then?"
"…dude man, that's not cool." InuYasha stopped. He looked around. "Wait." He felt around himself. "Dude where's my shard?"
"Where's your shard dude?"
"Dude, where's the shards!" InuYasha looked around the campsite and picked up the pack to put it on his back. Against the tree hanging on one of the lower broken off branches was… "Oh, there it is." He smiled and put it around his neck under his shirt.
"Come on let's go." Miroku smiled and they both went down to the village.
"Happy Anniversary!" They cried.
"Oh, aw!" The girls cooed as they opened their gifts.
"A new hair brush and beautiful pin barrettes for my hair!" Kagome cheered.
"How cute, this fuzzy little toy looks just like Kirara with a heart." Sango held the small statue in her hands.
"Thank you boys."
"Now we have something for you." Kagome smiled.
"A real special present too." Sango smiled.
"Oh thank you." Miroku put his hands together and uttered a short prayer.
"Tada, here you go!" Kagome and Sango pulled out their gifts.
"A hat…?" InuYasha took it.
"An earring…?" Miroku looked down at it.
"I made them with the stone gems myself." Sango smiled.
"And I sewed that cap from the finest threads of silk." Kagome grinned.
"Thanks…" The boys sighed.
"Hey what's in here?" Kagome and Sango looked into the pack.
"More gifts I guess." InuYasha shrugged.
"Oh, they're pretty." Kagome pulled out a necklace.
"I really like it." Sango put it on.
"Hey check this out." Miroku read a card. "To Miroku and InuYasha, this is thanks for what you did yesterday. I'd like to show you my appreciation, I hope your girls like these, I know you will. Oh and PS… PLEASE DON'T TELL MY LORD!"
InuYasha blinked, "Wow, how drunk were we last night?"
"Oh, look!" Miroku looked down at Sango's chest, her shirt was coming apart slightly as it seemed her breasts grew larger. "Oh, yes, schwing!"
"Shibby." InuYasha's jaw dropped as he stared at Kagome's chest. "I'll never think of Kikyo again."
So the two couples went outside into the rented cart they got again and Miroku went behind the reins, "So ladies, where to now?"
"I'm hungry, let's get Kaede and Shippo and go somewhere to eat."
"Sounds like a good idea Kagome." Sango smiled.
"Man my back really hurts, it's itchy." InuYasha scratched it.
"InuYasha you got a tattoo!" Kagome screamed.
"You too Miroku." Sango gasped in shock.
"Cool what does it say?"
"Mutt."
"What about mine?"
"Lecher."
"Kagome really what doe sit say?"
"Mutt."
"Stop calling me that!"
"Sango please tell me what mine says?"
"Lecher."
"Come on I can't help myself, that's just my personality."
"Kagome seriously just tell me what the damn tattoo is already!"
"SIT!" Kagome cried and InuYasha fell off the cart as it kept going.
InuYasha groaned and lifted his face from the dirt, "It says…. SIT?"
