BELLAGIO

12:30 AM

Kilik, Xianghua, Maxi, Sango, and Miroku waited for Kagome to return with some news. "I hope that Inuyasha is ok". Thought Sango. "Naraku's up to old tricks again". Growled Miroku. The door opened and Kagome, along with Shippo came back with some news. "How's Inuyasha"? Asked Miroku. There was a long pause in Kagome and Shippo just headed to another room. Kagome finally broke her silence and answered Miroku. "Inuyasha is doing fine, he'll be out for a long time". Kagome said without thinking about Inuyasha in the hospital. "He wants Miroku in charge of the crew and not allow Naraku to take over". Kagome added. "I'll make sure Miroku does a good job". Said Sango. "What about Sesshomaru and his crew"? Asked Kilik. Everyone just looked over at Kilik. "Sorry, I asked". Said Kilik. "Inuyasha didn't say anything about Sesshomaru or his crew but I know he told me that he too was shot at by one of Naraku's goons". Said Kagome. Shippo was secretly in another room as he made a call to Souten. "Pick up, pick up" Shippo said anxiously. Finally, a voice answered the phone. "Hello". Said the voice on the other end. "Is this Souten"? Asked Shippo. "Hi, Shippo". Said Souten. "Do you know what time it is"? she asked. "I know but I got something important to tell you". Shippo said. "Can it wait"? she asked. "It's urgent and quick". Shippo replied. "Go ahead". Souten said. "Naraku's new guy was the one who was involved in taking out your brothers when Naraku was on his way to jail". Shippo said. Hearing this, Souten had a look of surprise. "This changes everything". Souten thought to herself. "Thanks for telling me this". Souten said. "See ya later". Shippo said as he hung up. "Who was that"? Xianghua asked. "A friend of mines". Said Shippo. Xianghua just shrugged.

Kagura came back from the hospital with Jaken and Rin to tell Siegfried, Raphael, Ah, Un, and Ivy some news. "Madam Kagura". Said Raphael. "Is Sesshomaru alright"? Siegfried asked. Before Kagura could respond, Jaken spoke up. "Sesshomaru is…uh… a little hurt and he'll make his eventual return". Jaken said. "Don't try and sugarcoat the situation"! said Kagura. "Sesshomaru won't be back for a while and he's entrusting Raphael as the leader of the crew". Kagura said. "No problem, we'll take the fight to Naraku and avenge Sesshomaru". Said Raphael. Rin just seemed to be down and not the usual happy Rin.

Caesar's Palace

1 AM

Just about everyone in Naraku's crew was celebrating throughout the night, even Kanna surprisingly. "So what's next, Naraku"? Asked Moryomaru. "We're going to host a tag team tournament here". Naraku said. "And the prize is a tricked out SUV that I ordered from overseas". Naraku added. "Now that's doing big business". Said Hakudoushi. Naraku then turned his attention to Kohaku. "I see you're finally awake for a change". Naraku said. Kohaku just got up, stretched, went to the refrigerator for some leftover beef burritos. "You're going to be fighting again, I hope". Said Naraku. "I am". responded Kohaku. "Moryomaru and Byakuya told me that they some plan". Kohaku added. "Good". Naraku slyly said. "You're fighting over at the Rio with this fighter named Zasalamel". Naraku said. " I expect nothing but a victory, Kohaku". Naraku added. "And to regain Vegas". Naraku thought.
