Kagome knew that somehow Buyo had to go back to his own time. It tugged at her heartstrings that she'd take him away from Kilala. Kagome had be so sick with worry over Buyo that she didn't see a jewel fragment in Buyo. After a good night's rest she had begun to give up on every finding out how to bring her cat home to her family. As the days went on Kagome's anxiety lessened, but her heart sank at the thought of telling her little brother that their family pet couldn't come home. Kagome walked around in the fresh air one afternoon and spotted Kilala and Buyo chasing eachother. She felt a jewel shard present. It was flying around Buyo. She squinted her eyes to see what exactly was near Buyo, but to her astonishment she saw that it wasn't near Buyo at all. It was in him! "InuYasha! Sango! Shippo!" She yelled. The quartet ran towards her and asked what was wrong. "There's a jewel shard in Buyo's throat! I hadn't sensed it before because I was so anxious. I can't believe I didn't see it sooner!"
"So, that's why Buyo transformed into a cat like Kilala". Shippo said.
"Now, you know how to get him back home. You just have to take the jewel shard out." Miroku said.
"Yeah, but how?"InuYasha said.
"It's not like we can cut him open and then sew him back up again." Sango said.
"Why not?"Shippo asked.
"We're not doctors." Kagome said in a panic. "What do I do now?" "Well, I guess he'll have to stay here unless you want to find some kind of surgeon." InuYasha said.
"I don't think they are advanced in animal care, I don't think there's even a word for a vet in this age."Kagome said.
"There must be some way."Shippo said.
Just then Miyoga, the flee, hopped on InuYasha and said, "Master InuYasha...It's been too long", and sucked a bit of blood from InuYasha's nose. InuYasha automatically swatted at Miyoga and slowly the flee fell to the ground.
"That's it!" Sango said.
"What's it?" Kagome asked.
"Miyoga is small enough to go inside Buyo without blocking his air way. If Miyga could some how get the shard out then everything will be solved. Suddenly, Kilala and Buyo stopped playing and perked up their ears. Kilala sense something had changed. She ran to Sango to see what the news was. Buyo followed happily. "Kilala, I know you love Buyo, but we have to get a jewel shard out of him. Miyoga is going to go into his throat and retreive it." Sango said. Kilala didn't understand that the jewel shard had changed Buyo from an ordinary house cat to one like her. "Kilala, I'm sorry, but Buyo is not going to be the same as you when we get the jewel out." Kagome said softly. Kilala started to whimper and Buyo tried to comfort her but it was no use. The group all sighed in unison at what had to be done. Miyoga said that they might give Buyo and Kilala one more day to spend with eachother. Kagome agreed and told Buyo that he'd have one day with Kilala and then he had to go home. Kilala and Buyo flew off together to a nearby forest so they could be alone. Sango said that Kilala will keep her word on returning Buyo. Kagome had faith in Kilala, but not Buyo. What if Buyo didn't agree to come back with her? InuYasha said even if he was going to resist they could still find him because he had the jewel shard. Kagome still felt bad that her cat was going to be torn apart from his love. She felt that she had some how betrayed Kilala. The next morning Kilala flew back. Kagome didn't see Buyo and screamed in terror. What she had feared had come true! Then Kilala meowed to get her attention and had shown Kagome that Buyo was on her back! "How did he change?" Kagome asked.
Sango stepped out and said that Miyoga had traveled with them and that they agreed that first thing in the morning he'd retrieve the jewel shard. Kilala kissed Buyo one last time and purred her goodbye. Buyo rubbed up against Kilala and kissed her farewell. Kagome carried her cat back to her world and told the group she would be on in three days. Kilala knew that she had to give up Buyo, but she didn't tell them that she didn't give up all of him. She was carrying his children at that very moment.
