They're walking into the house, when Shippo sees an under-the-counter type can opener. "What a strange-looking box" he said. InuYasha said "that isn't a box, Shippo; it's called a can opener." Miroku then asked "so, I guess there's also such a thing as a 'can't opener'." InuYasha shakes his head and said "Miroku, you're more dense than I am." Sango said "it's nice to meet you, mother of Kagome." Then Kagome's mom said "it's nice to meet you, Sango is it?" Miroku came up and said "there is a request I have, miss." Sango started to roll her eyes, when Miroku continued with "I would like for you to not bear my child." InuYasha fell to the side and asked "Did he say what I think he said, Sango?" Kagome responded "yes, he did, InuYasha. Yes he did." Sango simply couldn't believe her ears. Shippo's jaw dropped when he heard what Miroku said. Kirara, meanwhile, was playing with Buyo. Kagome's mom replied "no need to worry about that request not being fulfilled."
After a while, everyone was busy getting settled. InuYasha was walking upstairs when he saw Shippo transfixed by something. InuYasha asked "what are you gawking at Shippo?" Shippo was a little too distracted to hear InuYasha, as he was gazing in amazement at Kagome's lava lamp. Then Shippo said "it's so beautiful, I can't resist it." InuYasha then said "Shippo. Shippo. SHIPPO!" Then Shippo snapped out of his daze and said "what, what, what's wrong?" InuYasha said "you looked distracted; I thought I'd snap you out of it." Shippo shakes his head and said "thanks, InuYasha, for snapping me out of it." InuYasha replied "don't mention it. Serioulsy, don't mention this to anyone; I have reputation as a tough half demon to up hold."
Kagome and Sango, meanwhile, helping kagome's mom with the cooking. Sango jumped back a little when Kagome flambéd the meat. "Warn me when you do that" she said. Kagome said "sorry, Sango, I forgot to tell you this before we started cooking the meat."
Later, Miroku was holding what looked like a white remote control. InuYasha was holding an identical controller. Miroku swung his arm back in an underhand backswing, and swung it forward again. On the TV screen, a Miroku-looking avatar flung a bowling ball down a lane and knocked down 7 pins. InuYasha said "nice throw, Miroku." Miroku tried a second throw, but the virtual ball went back into the virtual crowd. Upon a second attempt, Miroku scored a spare.
Shippo was at a chess set with Sota. Sota said "okay, shippo, eat...my...shorts" as he moved a bishop piece. Shippo, without so much as a second thought, moved a piece and said "checkmate." Sota's jaw dropped in amazment as he asked Shippo "how did you do that?" Kagome then yelled "dinner is ready!" Everyone except InuYasha and Miroku went in. Kagome said "guys, pause your game!" With that, they paused the game and joined them at the dinner table.
