The priest: The mafuuba fruit is legendry! "It been around for centuries" The mafuuba fruit is on a legendry mountain call the mafuuba mountain.

Sango: "That the same name as the mafuuba fruit"

The priest: Yes, that because it come from the same place.

Sango: "We hear you one time went up there"

The priest is all suddenly is quite and doesn't say anything, once Sango bring up the fact he went to the mafuuba mountain.

The priest: Yes but it didn't end well.

Sango: "What do you mean by that?"

The priest: Well everyone that has gone to mafuuba mountain has never came back, I am the only one who has ever came back from there."

Sango: "Why do you say that?"

The priest: Because there an ancient guardian who guard the mafuuba fruit."

Sango: "A ancient guardian?"

The priest: The guardian is a spirit who guard the mafuuba mountain and fruit, only those who prove themselves worth can have the mafuuba fruit However no one has ever done that and come back from the mafuuba mountain.

Sango: "But didn't you go up there yourself?"

The priest: "I did one time but it was a long ago"

Sango: "What's happened?"

The priest: I went up to the mafuuba mountain to see the mafuuba fruit heard a about. That when I come face to face with the guardian!

Inuyasha: "So you went up against the guardian?"

The priest: Yes. I fought against the guardian but I was no match for the guardian! My spirit powers are great but even with them I still didn't have chance. The guardian's powers were far beyond my or anything I ever see before in my life!

Sango: "What's is the guardian?" "Is he a demon?"

The priest: No, he not a demon or human He like spirit of the mountain but only different!

Sango: Huh!

Inuyasha: "Tell us more about the mafuuba fruit" We heard that it clear somebody body of poison and miasma!

The priest: If someone eat the mafuuba fruit it can purify of their body poison and miasma.

Sango: "What if the miasma and poison are mix together?"

The priest: Their body will be purify it doesn't matter if they're a demon or a human or even a Half demon!

It get Inuyasha attention that even a half demon like him could be purify of miasma and poison by the mafuuba fruit."

The priest: You said you want the mafuuba fruit for a friend of yours.

Sango: His name is Miroku and he was poison with both miasma and poison from a demon call Naraku, he dying and doesn't have much time left. We need this mafuuba fruit to save his life.

Inuyasha: Our friend is going to die unless we can this mafuuba fruit, you speak of.

Sango: We need to save him.

The priest: "Going up to the mountain is dangerous" I fought against the guardian, his powers were far more powerful than any demon or human I ever came a cross. His power is greater and far beyond anything I ever saw before in my life.

The priest warn Inuyasha and Sango how power the guardian but Inuyasha is just sitting there like so what? Sango listen while Inuyasha is ready to take on the challenge, not worry one bit."

The priest: If you go up there you will have to go against the guardian! I am the only one to come back from the mafuuba mountain 7 years ago. You have no idea of what you will be dealing with.

Inuyasha: "We don't care" All we want is to find the mafuuba mountain so we can the fruit to save Miroku! "So tell, us where is the mafuuba mountain?"

The priest: On east side in the western region but heat my warning, the guardian is more powerful than you could ever imagine.
