On the request of a couple of viewers who got a little confused with the chapters and the scenes within them I've made a summary of what's happened in the last 7 chapters.

Also on the request of a viewer, I've made a sort of family tree.

Nodoka Higurashi - married Genma Saotome - still married - one son - Ranma Saotome

Atsuko Higurashi - married - now widowed - kept married name - one son - Yusuke Urameshi

Akiko Higurashi - married - now widowed - returned to using maiden name - one daughter - Kagome Higurashi

Kagome Higurashi - mated Inuyasha - now widowed - one daughter and one son - Rei Higurashi - Shippo Genkaku (by adoption)


Chapter 1

The story starts by focusing on Shippo and gives a quick trip through his past, how he became the Lord of the Eastern lands. It also gives a peek into his potential love life as a human carpenter working on adding a room to one of his properties catches his eye (and ear! Did she kiss her mother with that mouth?)

Chapter 2 (same day as chapter 1)

Peeks into the life of an older Kagome Higurashi and her two month old hanyou daughter, Rei. It also introduces one of her 2 cousins, Ranma Saotome and how well they get along. Shippo comes to visit while Ranma is there and as the three of them (Kagome, Shippo and Ranma) speak in the living room downstairs. Upstairs, Rei is attacked by a purple haired girl with a really big sword.

Chapter 3 (same day as chapter 1)

Scene 1

Shikon no Tama feels the primal fear of it's host and reacts drastically. The enemy being human, the jewel changes Kagome into a dog demon.

Scene 2

Kagome, in the throes of a maddened maternal instinct driven bloodlust proceeds to rip Shampoo apart. Luckily for her Ranma and Shippo arrive and combine their efforts to save her. Scooping the injured amazon up, Ranma manages to get her to the hospital.

Chapter 4 (same day as chapter 1)

Cologne gets a call from Ranma and is told Shampoo's in the emergency room. Minutes after she arrives so does Shippo, and the three of them retreat to the roof where Shippo proceeds to tell the elderly amazon everything.

Chapter 5 (same day as chapter 1)

Ranma leaves the two of them alone, and Cologne is told what he expects the amazons to do within the week of Shampoo's release from the hospital. Leave and never return.

This demand is reinforced with the threat of the Joketsu's immanent destruction at the hands of the Demon Lord that rules that region.

After he's left, he calls one of his sub-ordinates in his company and finds out the overall status of the woman he had been watching earlier.

Outside the hospital, Ranma remembers happier times with his cousin to help sooth his temper before he loses control of it.

Shippo decides that it's time for the family to come together and help Kagome so he arranges for them to be taken to his manor. Arriving at Shippo's manor, he introduces Ranma to Tetsusaiga and asks that he take the ancient demon blood sealing sword to Kagome.

Chapter 6 (same day as chapter 1)

Ranma takes off with Tetsusaiga in hand for Kagome.

Alarmed at the unauthorized transformation, Koenma is only able to find a picture of Kagome and sends that photo down with Botan. Botan tells the Spirit Detectives that Koenma wants them to find the girl in the photo.

Yusuke never sees the picture, declaring that there's something up with his family and that he can't do the assignment.

Chapter 7 (same day as chapter 1)

We are introduced to Maeko Amherst, the woman that caught Shippo's eye and spend a day in her shoes.
