Everything's Back To Normal At Last!
----------------------------------------------
All three of the boys stood over Shoga with angry looks on their faces. It had been a day since they had drank the antidote that Kaede's friend had made and they were very, very, VERY angry. "The next time you try to poison Myoga with one of your potions, just make sure that it's not in the food that WE are eating as well!" Miroku shouted.
Shoga was sobbing. "I'M SORRY! BUT IT'S STILL NOT FAIR! MYOGA SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST TASTED SOME OF IT, TOO!"
"For once, he had brains," Shippo said. "Kilala won't even come anywhere near me now because she thinks I'm gonna chase her down a hollow log or a rabbit hole!"
Inuyasha glared at the girls. "I wonder why you girls didn't do anything to help us!?"
"We tried, but you were all just way too out of control." Sango was a very good liar.
Kagome nodded. "Yep. That's right. You were all just too busy running around like chickens with your heads cut off."
Inuyasha walked over to her and took her hand -- the one that was wearing his ring. "Well… I guess it wasn't all that bad… You know what I mean?"
Kagome smiled. "Yeah, I know."

Kikyo watched from the window of Kaede's house as the group left the village to continue their journey.
"Sister Kikyo," Kaede asked. "Why is it that yee did not wish to see Inuyasha?"
She sighed. "Because my time with him is over now. Besides, it would have upset Kagome."
"But you seem as though it is troubling you that you did not get to see him."
Kikyo shook her head. "That's not what is on my mind." She looked at her sister. "Kaede, from what you have told me, everyone has been a love struck frenzy for the last three days, correct?"
Kaede nodded. "Yes. I believe I told you that before… What's the problem?"
Kikyo made an annoyed face. "Just one question… Why was no one chasing after me!?"
