In his study, Sesshomaru is sitting in his armchair, reading a book. He puts it down on the coffee table beside his chair. "Yeah," he says without enthusiasm, "I'm starting to get kinda fed up with having to start and end every single chapter, so I'm just gonna stop doing that. I'll see you at the end of the story when I wrap everything up. Enjoy the rest of the tale. Good night." He picks up his book again.
Doctor Suikotsu was standing at the front door. Jakotsu was watching him on the monitors in the lab. Sango and Inuyasha were hidden inside the giant box. Bankotsu and Kikyo were by their master's side. Kagome had been sent to gather the newly-weds. "Look at him," Jakotsu hissed, "just standing there, thinking he's all that and a packet of crisps." He laughed evilly. "Let's let him in, shall we?" Bankotsu nodded and pulled a lever on the control panel on the wall. A magnet. Doctor Suikotsu had metal fillings in his teeth.
Suikotsu was pulled through the front door, through the hallways, up the elevator, and flew right into the middle of the lab, then shot right towards the magnet. Bankotsu deactivated it. Jakotsu walked over to the rival doctor. "And," he growled angrily, "what are you doing here, my good sir?"
"I've come here," he responded as Kagome led Miroku into the room via the elevator, "to speak with you, Doctor Jakotsu." He smiled and got to his feet.
"Really?" Jakotsu inquired. He was about to say more, but a sound emanated from the giant box. Everybody walked over to it and peered in.
"Inuyasha!" Jakotsu gasped.
"Sango!" Miroku gasped.
"Miroku!" Sango gasped.
"Inuyasha!" Bankotsu gasped.
"Sango!" Kikyo gasped.
"Inuyasha!" Jakotsu gasped.
"Sango!" Kagome gasped.
"Miroku!" Suikotsu gasped.
"Doctor Suikotsu!" Miroku gasped.
"Inuyasha!" Jakotsu gasped.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha gasped.
"Jakotsu!" Kikyo gasped.
"Inuyasha!" Sango gasped.
"Okay, okay, hold it, hold it," Bankotsu said. "This could go on forev-"
"Kikyo!" Kagome gasped.
"Miroku!" Jakotsu gasped.
"Sango!" Suikotsu gasped.
"Doctor Suikotsu!" Sango gasped.
Bankotsu sighed and walked away.
"Inuyasha!" Jakotsu gasped. "What are you doing in here with this," he paused and stopped. Smiled. "My mother told me if I can't say anything nice, I shouldn't say anything at all."
Sango scoffed. "Yeah right," she said between gritted teeth, her arms folded over her chest. "And by the way, he was much more satisfying than you were."
"Oh," Kikyo said with a smile. "Burn."
Jakotsu stamped his foot on the ground angrily. "Wise up, Miss Sango," he stammered.
Jakotsu: You think you're all that in Japan, though,
You'd better wise up, Miss Sango.
Your doughnut can in a pan go.
You'd better wise up, Miss Sango.
He dashed over to the control panel and began to fiddle with the knobs.
Jakotsu: I've done my deed; it should befall indeed
Your, ah, sensual lust and your greed.
Wound up like a baseball pitch, an itch.
When we made it, your hubby was my bitch!
Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha and Doctor Suikotsu all found themselves completely paralyzed. Kikyo and Bankotsu pointed and laughed. Kagome wanted to help them escape, but she was afraid of what Jakotsu might do to her. "And now," said the mad scientist, "Won't you kindly join me for dinner?" He clapped his hands. "Bankotsu, Kikyo, Kagome. Prepare a meal for my guests and I."
"Me and my guests," Bankotsu corrected. His face met with the back of Jakotsu's palm. The sound of the slap made Kagome jump. "Right away, sir," Bankotsu said, rubbing his aching cheek. "Dinner."
They were seated at the table. It was long, stretching the length of nearly the entire room, which was pitch black, save for the small light from the candles on the table's clothed surface. Jakotsu sat at the far end. Bankotsu and Kikyo stood behind him. Doctor Suikotsu sat at the opposite end. Miroku and Sango sat beside each other to the left of Suikotsu, and Kagome and Inuyasha sat to the right. Bankotsu and Kikyo walked around the table and poured everybody a glass of red wine. When they were finished, Jakotsu picked up his own and raised it. "A toast," he said, "To absent friends."
"To absent friends," his guests said in unison. They drank the wine. It tasted like iron. Like blood.
"Koga," Suikotsu said out of the blue, "He was a disciple of mine. A student. He wasn't really much of a hard worker, though. He liked to slack off and have fun, like all teenagers do." As he talked, Bankotsu and Kikyo went around the table, placing slices of a strange smelling meat on everybody's plate. "He had spirit, though, I'll give him that much," Suikotsu continued. "The soul of a rocker."
"Indeed," Jakotsu said flatly. "Yes, the half of his brain that I used for Inuyasha seems to have made him somewhat of a free spirit also." He shot his creation a cold look. Inuyasha glanced down hurt at his food and remained silent.
"I loved him," Kagome said. Everybody turned to her. "He was the only man I ever really loved. And now," she began to sob, "And now he's," but she couldn't finish.
"Yes," Jakotsu said with false concern. "This is a rather touchy subject, isn't it. Please, allow me to put your minds at ease." He rose to his feet and grabbed the edge of the cloth. He pulled it away from the table, and to everyone's horror, Koga's frozen body was underneath. They all gasped in shock and terror, rose from their chairs, spat out their food, gagged and chocked. Jakotsu just smiled. "Yes," he said, "I hope you liked my dinner. A specialty, you know. Koga à la carte." He laughed maniacally. Then he nodded to Bankotsu and Kikyo, who were holding Star Trek style ray guns. They fired.
Miroku, Sango, Kagome, Suikotsu and Inuyasha had all been turned to stone.
"Prepare them," Jakotsu ordered, "for the Floor Show."
"At once, my master," Bankotsu and Kikyo said in unison.
