(Okashi returned to her home, not even finishing the sleepover that she had been hoping for. She wiped away the last of her tears and opened the front door, where Keera ran up to her and opened a can of confetti in her face. This didn't even phase Okashi in the least, for she was too upset. Keera noticed this look in her sister's eyes.)
Keera: What's the matter Okashi? I thought you were spending the night at Kagome's.
Okashi: Don't talk about that liar around me.
(Okashi went to her room and flopped down on her bed with her diary. Not long after, her mother walked in.)
Mother: Okashi? Honey, what are you doing home already? I thought you were sleeping over at Kagome's house.
Okashi: No. I don't ever want to see that liar again.
Mother: She lied to you?
Okashi: Yeah, but I don't want to talk about it.
Mother: Well just don't let hatred build up in your heart.
(Her mother left the room and she resumed writing in her journal, letting all her feelings out on paper:
----
Dear Diary,
I can't believe how Kagome just came out and lied to me about everything. Somehow I ended up in Feudal Japan by traveling through this nasty well. This monk and demon slayer told me that I looked like the wolf/fire demon named Mikita. The one with the dog-ears thinks that I am the reincarnation of this demon, but that is impossible. I am not the reincarnation of some demon from the Feudal Era that died battling this evil Naraku fellow. I don't even like to say his name because it sounds evil as it is. Good thing he's not around anymore though, if he was even real. I don't believe anything that Kagome and her little friends have told me. It's all just a big lie, a big game to them, and I won't fall for it. I can't trust Kagome. I can't trust any of them. I can't trust anyone. It's always resulted in betrayal and lies. The only friend on my side now is God, and I know he won't let me down. This Kagura person even showed up in a patch of smoke, saying that she was from the year 3000. She said that I was needed to help defeat a perverted demon named Tsuyoku. I don't believe that at all. As far as I am concerned, it was all a setup. It was all a big lie, but now I know not to believe such nonsense ever again.

After letting out all her feelings in her diary, Okashi laid her head down on the pillow and fell asleep. She ended up having the same nightmare yet again as the hue from the wolf's eyes flashed into her own. This time, the dream went along even further. When Okashi looked down at her hands, she was growing claws—blood-red claws. The sky overhead was turning red with clouds of miasma, and Okashi was unable to move and escape. Her heart was beating rapidly, her body trembling, but she finally awakened from the terrifying nightmare. Sitting upright on her bed, she opened her eyes to see Keera sitting there looking at her.)
Keera: What's the matter with you? Why do you look so scared?
Okashi: I just had a nightmare, that's all.
Keera: Oh…
(Keera looked down at Okashi's hands and noticed that her nails were red.)
Keera: Since when do you paint your nails?
Okashi: I don't.
(She looked at her nails to find what Keera was talking about, and she gave Keera a mean look.)
Okashi: You little brat! You did this!
Keera: I'm not little I'm two years younger than you! And I didn't do that!
Okashi: Yeah right! It's pretty bad when I can't even trust my own sister!
Keera: But I didn't—
Okashi: Get out! Leave me alone!
(Okashi made Keera get out of her room as she shut and locked the door. She then walked over to her dresser and opened the second drawer, where she fumbled through it to find the nail polish remover.)
Okashi: I can't believe her. Now I have to use this stinky stuff. And since when did my nails get this long? I need to trim them down a bit.
(She tried to remove the redness from her nails, but it wouldn't come off.)
Okashi: What kind of paint did she use? It won't come off.
(She angrily attempted to remove the color from her nails, but it still had no effect. This was making Okashi rather angry.)
Okashi: Forget it! At least I know it won't peel off on me or anything.
(Back in the Feudal Era, Kagome felt really bad about what she had told Okashi.)
Inuyasha: Why did you go and lie to the girl anyway Kagome?
Kagome: I just didn't want to scare her with the thoughts of demons and things like that. She didn't want to know that she's the reincarnation of a demon. I didn't think she'd believe me anyway, so I didn't want her to think I was loony or anything.
Karasu: Well how do you think she feels about you now?
(Karasu sniggered with her remark and Kagome just looked down to the ground.)
Kagome: She probably hates me now. She thinks I'm a liar.
Hiei: Which you are… or were. No, it could still be "are."
Kagome: (Sarcastically) Jee thanks. You guys make me feel so much better.
(Oblivious to the
sarcasm, Karasu smiled and replied:)
Karasu: You're
welcome.
Hiei: Ugh! Karasu…
Karasu: What?
Hiei: Never mind.
(Hiei was about to explain that Karasu was being sarcastic, but he decided not to.)
Karasu: Hey Hiei. You wanna play grapes with me?
Hiei: No.
Karasu: We'll play house after that.
Hiei: (Smiles) Okay.
(Karasu started walking off and Hiei stood up.)
Hiei: (Low voice) Yes!
Miroku: You'd rather play house?
Hiei: Not that version of house… Karasu's version of house.
(Hiei shifted his eyebrows slyly and Miroku caught on.)
Miroku: Ah, I gotcha. Have fun man.
(After Hiei and Karasu walked off, Miroku focused on Sango with a smile.)
Miroku: Hey Sango. Do you wanna play house with me?
Sango: No.
Miroku: Damn.
(Lutious and Leona were supposed to be "playing house," but Leona was too busy eating her peaches of course.)
Leona: Oh yes! Oh the juicy goodness!
Lutious: Good grief woman! It's not like those peaches are going to make you have an orgasm.
(Leona glared at him while protecting her peach.)
Leona: My peach! Don't even think about stealing it!
(Lutious just sighed and leaned back against the bed as Leona finished her peach. She made such a juicy mess all over her chest, and she smiled craftily at Lutious.)
Leona: You know I really made a big mess all over myself. Do you think you could, you know, clean it up for me?
(She made little sexual passes toward him and he smiled, moving closer to her.)
Lutious: Oh yeah.
(He laid her down and pulled her shirt apart, laying over her. Just as he was about to move in for the love—POOF! Someone popped in through the patch of smoke from the future.)
Leona: Tsuyoku!
(It wasn't Tsuyoku however, but the same hippie-ish, skater boy type dude that popped in on Kagome while she was bathing.)
Lutious: What are you doing here?
Man: Didn't it work? Bogus dude. I was trying to zap over to Burger King for a smoothie.
Leona: Who's that?
Lutious: Oh, that's a good friend of mine. He's a little weird, but fun to hang with.
Leona: You must have an awesome name. What is it?
Man: …Bob.
(Leona appeared confused at his reply as she raised an eyebrow.)
Leona: Bob?
Bob: Yeah. Why? Is that a problem dude?
Leona: Dude? I'm not a dude.
Lutious: (Sigh) He calls everybody "dude."
(Bob then realized the situation that he had interrupted.)
Bob: Oh. Did you want me to, like, go? You seem like you're in the middle of somethin'.
Lutious: Yeah. That would be appreciated.
Bob: Appreciated? Dude, stop using such big words on me. I'm not school-a-lated.
Lutious: That's "educated."
Bob: Whatever man. I'm outie.
(The odd friend of Lutious' left through his patch of smoke and Lutious looked at Leona once again.)
Lutious: Shall we?
Leona: Yes we shall.
(Lutious began licking the peach juice off of her chest, but then Bob popped back up and asked:)
Bob: Uhh, Lutious dude? Do you happen to know which way Burger King is?
(They just stopped and gave him a nasty look. It seemed like they were always being interrupted.)
Lutious: (Points) That way.
Bob: Thanks man. I owe ya one.
Lutious: You can repay me by leaving.
Bob: Fine. Fine. I get the point. Don't twist your nuts in a knot.
(Bob left once again and Lutious was about to resume what he was doing but—Beep! Beep! Beep! Leona's watch went off and interrupted them yet again.)
Lutious: What the…?
Leona: Oh it's my alarm.
Lutious: Alarm for what?
Leona: (Excited) Alarm for me to eat more peaches!
(Leona grabbed the bag of peaches and began eating more of them. Lutious was disappointed as he banged his head against the wall repeatedly. In the meantime, Hiei and Karasu were playing grapes, but Hiei was bored of it since they had begun.)
Hiei: Can we play house yet?
Karasu: No. Not yet. Mommy grape hasn't even had her baby yet.
Hiei: Well mommy grape better hurry it up already.
Karasu: She's only six months along! Show some concern daddy grape!
(He went along with it for a moment, but then he smiled a mean little smile. Hiei "accidentally" squished the "mommy grape," and it splattered everywhere.)
Hiei: Oh look. Mommy grape had an accident and died.
Karasu: Aww… We'll just have to give her a nice funeral… for her and the baby that was never given a chance.
(Hiei slapped his hand onto his forehead and muttered, "Owww…" It's obvious why.)
