Kaede came out of her hut. Seeing the monk and half-demon laughing their heads off, she wondered what was so funny. "What's so funny?" she asked. Kagome looked at Kaede, saying "I mis-spoke the necklace command, and they found the way I spoke it to be hilarious." "What was said, my child?" Kaede asked. InuYasha jumped in and, in his best falsetto, said "InuYasha…shit, boy!" His near-perfect match of Kagome's voice really got Kagome's goat. Kaede, meanwhile, had to fight to contain her laughter. Although Miroku and InuYasha were laughing, Sango was ticked.
Kagome had finally reached her critical level. "InuYasha, SIT, BOY!" she yelled. InuYasha was flung into the ground, and Kagome started belting out in mile-per-minute speech "sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit…" InuYasha appeared to be in an almost continuous downward motion into the ground as the necklace jolts were sounding like amplified automatic gunfire. Miroku was now scared out of his mind. Now, it was Sango's turn to be doubled over in laughter. "Presenting the InuYasha pile driver 2000" she proclaimed.
Kagome finally finished out her round of sit commands and found InuYasha to not even be there anymore. "InuYasha, you there?" she asked, "stop playing around." With the lack of a reply, she began to worry. "What have I done?" she thought. Upon going over to where he was, she noticed that there was now a 500-foot deep hole, as though drilled out with a massive auger. "InuYasha!" she desperately called. She whipped out a flashlight and found what looked like a tiny red dot at the bottom. "Sango, I need some ropes, fast!" she yelled.
After the ropes were found, Kagome tied one of them onto her waist. "Please tell me I didn't kill him" she thought to herself. "Why not see if Kirara can dig the hole bigger so we can find him?" Miroku suggested. Kagome thought for a moment and said "I'll think about it." Looking back down the hole, she yelled "INUYASHA, CAN YOU HEAR ME?" A moment later, she heard a distant-sounding pop noise from the bottom followed by a continuous whooshing sound. The sound appeared to be getting closer as a pyrotechnic-looking green light was seen soaring rapidly to the top, leaving a smoky trail behind in the process. The luminous orb left the hole and started coming back down around 17 feet above them. When the sequence repeated itself twice, Kagome knew what was going on. "I think those were flares" she said. Miroku said "at least we know he's alive and well."
Kagome had tied all the ropes end to end and tossed the pile to Sango. "Lower me down" Kagome said. With Sango and Miroku holding the rope, Kagome slowly descended into the hole. She pointed the flashlight down and saw the same tiny red dot. "I'm coming down for you, InuYasha!" she called. After a while, the surface was starting to appear as only a tiny point of light. "I hope he's not injured" she thought. Kagome looked down again and saw that the red dot had increased in size slightly and had some white details on it. "You okay, Kagome?" came Sango's voice. "I'm all right. I'm still worried that he's been injured, though" Kagome called up. After some more time Kagome finally recognized what she had been seeing at the bottom: InuYasha himself. "Yeah, he's here, all right!" Kagome called up.
Soon after, she finally reached the bottom. "Hold it there!" Kagome called up. She looked over InuYasha. His face appeared to be pressed into the bottom. "InuYasha, hang on" she said. She soon had him secured to the rope. "Take us up!" she yelled. Sango replied "okay, going up." Turning to Kirara, she said "pull the rope." As they were ascending, Kagome thought she should check InuYasha over some more. After a long ascent, the two finally made it to the surface. Miroku said "they're up."
Kagome saw InuYasha's cheeks appeared puffy. "Are you okay?" Kagome asked. InuYasha simply spat out a mouthful of dirt. "I'm fine, but does anyone have mouthwash?" he asked. Sango looked horrified when the mouthful of dirt was spat out. Miroku only looked as though he was about to puke. Kagome let out a shrill scream when she saw a worm start crawling out of one of InuYasha's nostrils. "Good grief, that's so gross" she whimpered. InuYasha joked "I hope I get over this cold soon." "ewwwww, InuYasha!" Kagome whimpered, only to yelp again when the worm started crawling into the other nostril. Her hand was shaking as she reluctantly started reaching for the night crawler. Shippo moaned and was suddenly trying to hold back a mouthful of vomit. Kagome grabbed the worm and yanked it out, throwing it aside in the same reflex. "That was so sick" Kagome whined. She then saw poor Shippo with puffed cheeks and hands clamped over his mouth. "What's Shippo's deal?" Sango asked. "I think he's going to hurl" Kagome replied. Grabbing an empty bucket, she said "here, Shippo." Shippo flung his head into the bucket and let loose the contents of his overturning stomach.
InuYasha was spitting out more chunks of dirt. Kagome, nearly having her own stomach overturn, thought "okay, I'll know not to shout the incantations like that again." InuYasha said "I hope you don't do that again, Kagome. I'm not exactly finding the dirt-and-worms diet too appealing." "EWWWWWWWW, That's so gross Inuyasha" Kagome said. Spitting out a large stone, he then remarked "it's the most disgusting thing I've ever experienced."
"Are you finished spitting out dirt, InuYasha?" Miroku asked. "No, just one last rock" InuYasha replied. He promptly spat it so that it hit Miroku where his legs met. "You fucking son of a--." "MIROKU!" Kagome shouted, "I didn't exactly blame him for doing that. He still needs to wash his mouth with something like water under pressure." A mental light bulb then illuminated in Kagome. "Hang on, I've got my super soakers" she said. Miroku, meanwhile, was still keeled over and still cussing. "Knock it off, monk!" Sango yelled. "Oh, screw you, Sango!" the monk snapped. "Kagome, could I borrow that necklace for a moment?" Sango asked. Miroku instantly shut up and started to run off. He tripped over the car and fell, yelling "damn it!" afterwards. "That fucking hurt!" "Enough, perverted monk" Kaede scolded. Kagome managed to get InuYasha's mouth scoured out with her super soakers and was now administering mouthwash. "Well, I must be heading to my era" Kagome said. InuYasha, spitting out the mouthwash in shock, asked "why are you going back to your era?" Some of the discharged mouthwash landed in Miroku's eye as he was about to cuss some more. The monk let out a loud scream as his eyes stung big time. Kagome said "well, the car needs a little work and--." She was interrupted by the monk body-slamming InuYasha to the ground. "Miroku, what are you--?" InuYasha asked. Miroku roared "you wanna try me? Huh?" Soon, a full blown one-sided brawl ensued. "How'd you like a rock in the crotch?" Miroku yelled as he was beating the tar out of poor InuYasha. "Knock it off, Miroku!" Kagome yelled. "You tell him that!" Miroku snapped back. Sango stepped in. "back down, Miroku" she said. Given the lack of effect, Sango opened an ice cold Coke and dumped it down the monk's back. Miroku froze and looked. "What was that for, Sango?" he barked, "perhaps you should be next."
"Don't even think about it, monk" Sango warned, "I've got a Hiraikotsu, and I'm not afraid to use it. Now, WHAT IS YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM?" Miroku calmed down and said "sorry, guys. I guess I just snapped." "Twice" InuYasha remarked. "I'm still sorry" Miroku replied, "so, you were talking about your era?" Kagome replied "yes, the car needs some work and we're out of the sweets." She even tempted them with "I'll even bring back some…uhh…Krispy Kremes." InuYasha looked tantalized. "Krispy Kremes" he thought. As the others were enjoying lunch at Kaede's, InuYuasha was beneath a tree with Kagome. "Could I come with you?" he asked. Kagome said "unfortunately, not this time." "Aw, come on, Kagome" InuYasha whimpered. "Maybe next time" Kagome replied. InuYasha took a bite of a pear he had. "So, exactly how long will you be gone, Kagome?" he asked through a mouthful of food. "I'll be back tomorrow morning" Kagome said.
In Kaede's hut, Shippo said "Miroku, I've never seen that side of you before." Miroku said "join the club; we've got kimonos." His hand slowly reached over. Sango felt something and slapped the monk. Kagome then arrived back. "I see you're up to your usual tricks" she said. Sango said "gee, you think?" Kagome pulled something out of her pocket. "You'll probably need this when I'm gone. This is a tape recorder." Sango examines the device saying "what exactly does it do?" Kagome replied "if InuYasha tries any of his usual antics, you just press this button in the center. This button on the end should be pressed after the…spell…has been recited by this thing. This may work, but I don't know. I haven't done this with a tape recorder before. After the spell completes, you hit this double-arrow button to reset it for another round of the same spell." "Um…okay" Sango replied. InuYasha came in. "We'll be waiting for your return, Kagome" he said, promptly kissing her…big time…afterwards. Caught off-guard by the kiss, Kagome said "uhh…thanks." With that, she got into her car and sped to the well.
