The Hiraikotsu soared towards the tiger demon. The tiger was hit at the shoulder, but was relatively unscathed. The Hiraikotsu swung back around towards Sango and Miroku. She caught her weapon and started to undo the handcuffs on Miroku. Without her seeing it, the tiger instantly lunged at her, roaring loudly. "Sango, look out!" Miroku yelled. Unfortunately, Sango was hit. Kirara saw this and started attacking the tiger. Miroku was in shock. "Sango!" he yelled. He made his way down to the unconscious demon slayer. Kirara had a look of worry as well.
Meanwhile, on the ground, a car horn was being repeatedly honked. "Move it! Move it! Will you people move?" InuYasha yelled as he took the car through the midst of the village. Shippo looked up and saw something. "Kagome, Sango has been struck down" he yelled. "InuYasha, turn on the trail coming up on your right" Kagome commanded. "I'm on it" InuYasha replied. Turning onto the trail, Kagome saw the tiger demon and a familiar purple-ish glow. Kagome said "well it's the first time I've shot an arrow from a moving vehicle, but here goes." The arrow was off. Honking the horn more, InuYasha yelled "move your butts, people!"
Back on a village building's roof, Miroku was trying to tend to Sango when he saw an arrow streak over him and towards the tiger. The tiger was about to strike Miroku, when the arrow hit. Miroku thought "excellent shot, the tiger has lost its jewel shards." A familiar horn was heard below him as the car sped by. "Kirara, get me to that car!" the monk yelled. The big kitty got Miroku and darted for the speeding vehicle. "InuYasha, Kagome, combine an arrow and the wind scar!" he yelled. "I'm a little busy right now!" InuYasha replied. "Well, stop the car, first!" Miroku commanded.
InuYasha slammed the brake pedal to the floor. Shippo immediately felt the seat belt dig into him big time. Kagome had to grab the top of the windshield to keep from flying forward. "InuYasha!" she yelled. After stopping the vehicle and shifting into park, InuYasha and Kagome exited the vehicle Dukes of Hazzard style. An arrow was readied and Tetsusaiga was drawn out. Kagome shot the arrow as InuYasha swung the sword and yelled "WIND SCAR!" The combo attack raced at the crippled tiger, causing it to disintegrate. The jewel shards remained intact. They all headed for Sango, whom was still up on a village building's roof. Miroku said "Sango, are you okay?" Sango opened her eyes and said "that tiger bought it." Noticing their looks of concern, she said "I guess you guys bought it, too." Miroku said "yes, you sure had us fooled." Sango warned the villagers "you must bury this demon and give it prayers. Otherwise, the spirit of it will terrorize the village." InuYasha looked at where the demon was and said "I don't think there's anything left to bury." Sango looked for herself and said "HOLY SHIT! Well, if there are any remains found, bury them."
Back with Sesshomaru, Rin was trying to fan the fumes away. Finally, he was starting to come around. "You okay, Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin asked. "Yes, I'm fine" Sesshomaru said. "Ah-Un, take us that way" he commanded as he pointed in the last known direction the car was heading. After mounting the two-headed beast with Rin and Jaken, Ah-Un was off. Back with Kagome, everyone was getting in the car. "We'd better head back to Kaede's" she said. Soon, the sports car tore out of the village and was on its way.
Some distance away, a familiar girl was walking along with a red dragon at her side. "Souten, what are we doing here, anyway?" the dragon asked. "We're going to see Shippo" she replied, "and we're investigating these rumors of another InuYasha in existence." Koryu asked "another InuYasha?" Souten replied "is there an echo in the forest?" They then heard something approaching. They heard a most unusual roaring sound. Souten noticed a large red object moving on its own. "What the heck?" she said. Koryu said "a demon cart…assuming those large round things are wheels." Souten said "it's a possibility, but I'm not sure." She then noticed the yellow text on the side that read "InuYasha II." "InuYasha II?" she wondered. Koryu then remarked "well, I guess that confirms the rumors." Souten said "I'm not sure that this is the one." "What do you mean?" Koryu asked. "Although it confirms some of those rumors, the others are of a half-breed dog demon that looks identical to InuYasha" Souten replied. She then saw a familiar form in one of the car windows. "Shippo?" she wondered. She thought for a bit and then said "Koryu, we need to find a way to stop that metal demon." Holding up a water bag, Koryu asked "how about this?" "Perfect" Souten said, "now we just need to get ahead of that thing again." Koryu said "I can get us ahead of that thing in cloud mode. You just ride on top." Souten replied "let's do that." So, off Souten went on Koryu in cloud mode.
Later, Souten was ready with the water balloon. "Okay, Koryu, you know what to do" she said. As the vehicle approached, Koryu waited. Souten let the water balloon go flying. The balloon hit the bumper of the car, and the car came to a sudden stop. Koryu darted out in front of the stopped vehicle and lay down. Inside the car, InuYasha asked "what the hell did we hit?" Kagome said "I'm not sure." Putting the car in Park, she got out saying "I'll check it out." She went around the front and saw Koryu lying on the ground. "Holy crap, are you okay?" she asked. Shippo came out asking "what's going on, Kagome?" He was taking a drink of cola as he came around the front. He saw who it was and sent a mouthful of cola all over the place. "Koryu, is that you?" he asked. Koryu pretended to come around and muttered "Shippo." Kagome had a look of worry in her eyes. "Koryu, how'd you get here?" she asked. The dragon replied "I flew."
InuYasha, still in the car, leaned over and started honking the horn. Kagome turned and looked. "What's going on, Kagome?" he asked, honking a few more times afterwards. "SIT, BOY!" Kagome yelled. InuYasha was then slammed down into the horn. "CAN'T YOU SEE THIS POOR DRAGON IS HURT?" Kagome shouted. "No, I'm not" Koryu replied. Nonetheless, InuYasha got out of the car to look. "Holy shit!" he yelled. Souten came out of the bushes saying "I saw the whole thing. Koryu wasn't what you hit." Kagome said "then what did I hit?" "Take a look at the…uhh…front end…bar" Souten replied, indicating the bumper. Kagome looked and saw an expended water balloon stuck to it as well as a wet smear all around the balloon. "Look, Kagome, a water balloon" InuYasha said. Kagome gave InuYasha a look as she said "thank you, Captain Obvious." Turning to Souten, she asked "where'd that balloon come from?" Souten replied "I threw it at that thing. Apparently I'm a good shot." InuYasha yelled "WHY THE HELL DID YOU--?" "Sit, boy. I'll handle this" Kagome said. Turning back to Souten, she yelled "WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?"
Shippo yelled "SANGO, INUYASHA IS CUSSING!" "I am not" InuYasha barked. "He said a bad word!" Shippo yelled. "InuYasha, what's going on?" Sango asked, "are you cussing in front of Shippo again?" Shippo then said "yeah, he said 'hell' and 'damn'!" "I DID NOT SAY 'DAMN'!" InuYasha barked. Shippo turned to InuYasha and said "now you did." Sango asked "aside from who said what, why are we cussing?" Miroku got out saying "this is easily explainable, Sango. Everyone's a little ticked at what Koryu and Souten did just now." As Miroku was speaking, his hand was all over her rear. After slugging the monk, Sango said "you're such a fucking pervert!" Shippo said "I knew that was a bad idea, Miroku."
Kagome then asked more calmly "why did you throw that balloon?" Souten replied "I had to speak with Shippo." Shippo said "what do we need to talk about?" Souten replied "Shippo, after you left that time we were battling for those crayons, I wondered why you just forfeited the battle." Just before Shippo answered, Souten said "there's also something I wanted to get off my chest. This is a little hard to admit, but…" and she pulled Shippo into a massive kiss. Shippo, not expecting this, was highly surprised. The rest of them looked on in amazement. InuYasha said "HOLY SHIT!" After the kiss, Shippo said "Wow that was one kiss I will never forget." Kagome said "I never expected this!" Even Koryu was surprised. "Souten, what are you thinking?" Koryu asked. Souten said "Koryu, there's no sense in denying it. I'm in love with Shippo." Shippo said "WHAT? You are in love with me? Wow."
Kagome said "um, I'd hate to break up this love fest, but we have to get going." Shippo said "we will go to your area in three days." Souten replied "I'll be waiting" and gave Shippo another big kiss. InuYasha said "how many more kisses is she going to give him?" "InuYasha…" Kagome began. InuYasha had a worried look when Kagome said "shit, boy!" InuYasha instantly broke out in laughter. Kagome said "wait a minute, that's not what I wanted to say!" With that, Kagome and the others piled back into the car and resumed their journey, InuYasha cackling all the way.
Later, they arrived at Kaede's village. "InuYasha, it wasn't that funny!" Kagome yelled. "Sure it wasn't" InuYasha taunted. Both he and Miroku were doubled over as they got out.
