The guys go over to the bushes and pull them out of the way. "No way!" Inuyasha proclaims "There is a whole cave behind these things!"
Miroku says "I believe those things are called bushes, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha turns red in the face "Shut up, Miroku!"
Yusuke starts to snicker. Inuyasha balls up his fists "You shut up, too!" Inuyasha rushes over to Yusuke and punches him in the head, hard.
Yusuke winces and starts rubbing his head "That really hurt."
"Inuyasha needs to learn how to control his temper" says Shippo.
"Yes and Yusuke needs to learn how to keep his mouth shut" answers Keiko and Botan.
Inuyasha gives Shippo an evil glare "Come here Shippo!"
Shippo yells "Kagome!" as he runs and hides behind her.
"Settle down, Inuyasha" Kagome says to him.
Inuyasha simply states "Humph. Fine then." and calms down.
Yusuke looks at Keiko and Botan and asks "What is that supposed to mean?"
"Enough of this," Sango says "let us just go check this cave we found."
Keiko looks inside the cave "It sure is dark in there" and she starts to shiver.
"Don't worry," Inuyasha says "really the only thing you should be afraid of is that stupid lecherous monk trying something," he then clenches his right fist "but I'll make sure he behaves."
Miroku shacks his head. "Believe me," he says "being spun like a top and getting hit in the head with an oar is something I'd like done only once."
"What about demons?" Yusuke asks.
Inuyasha says "Believe me. If there were any demons around I would have heard or smelt them by now."
"Heard or smelt them?" Keiko asks.
"Inuyasha is half dog demon" Kagome says answering Keiko's question.
Yusuke asks "Well then what's his other half?"
"Looks to be human to me" Botan says.
"Shut up" Inuyasha yells.
Shippo looks at Botan "You hit the bulls eye...um...Botan?"
"Yes my name is Botan." she says.
Keiko looks at Shippo's furry tail and then looks at Yusuke. Yusuke looks at Shippo and asks "So, What kind of demon are you?"
Shippo answers "I'm a fox demon."
"And a little idiot" adds Inuyasha.
Shippo whines "Kagome, Inuyasha's being mean to me again."
"Inuyasha, be nice and say your sorry" Kagome says while hitting him in the head.
Inuyasha starts rubbing his head and says "Fine then. Shippo I am ssss..."
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yells as she gets ready to hit him again.
"Sorry! Shippo I'm sorry, ok!" Inuyasha quickly says for fear of being struck again.
Botan begins to giggle "Alright then. Let's head for the cave."
"Wait. We still don't know what exactly a spirit beast is." Sango says.
Puu (who is being held by Keiko) answers Sango "Puu."
"Meow" Kirara answers Puu.
"I think Yusuke's twin is saying it is a spirit beast" Miroku proclaims.
Yusuke says "A spirit beast is the reflection of your true inner self, and that's why he," points to Puu "has my hair cut because he is my spirit beast."
"Oh" Kagome says.
Shippo says "Kirara is not a spirit beast. She's a demon."
"I knew that" Yusuke says with an expression that proved he didn't.
Inuyasha says "Well any way, let's go check out the cave." Inuyasha rushes into the cave and then comes flying out screaming and then lands in a tree trunk. "Ouch. That really hurt." Inuyasha says as he pulls himself from the tree and then asks no one in particular "What the heck happen?"
Miroku walks over to the cave mouth and waves his hand in front of it. He pulls his hand back and rubs his chin saying "There appears to be some sort of spirit shield preventing passage into this cave."
Yusuke points his finger at the cave "Well then. Let's get rid of it." Yusuke's finger starts to glow a sky blue.
Miroku yells "No! Wait! Don't! Stop!"
Yusuke yells "Spirit gun" and the energy that had gathered up in his finger comes shooting out heading straight for the spirit shield. The spirit gun energy bounces off the shield and heads for Inuyasha's head.
"Whoa" Inuyasha says as he ducks from the energy "watch where your aiming, stupid."
Yusuke just looks at his smoking finger then looks at the cave mouth questioningly "Huh? It didn't work?"
Miroku shacks his head "I tried to tell you but you wouldn't listen."
Yusuke's face turns red then he looks at Miroku and says "Shut up."
Kagome pulls out her bow and an arrow. "Let's give this a try" she says as she takes aim for the cave mouth.
Botan flies on her oar behind Kagome and asks "What makes you think that will work?"
"Because she is the reincarnation of a powerful priestess" Miroku answers Botan's question.
Kagome fires the arrow and it goes through shattering the spirit shield. Botan blinks and says "Well it looks like that worked."
