Later that evening in the feudal era, Miroku and InuYasha had caught many fish and were cooking them. Miroku said "that ball game was excellent. You won 5-3. We ought to do that more often." InuYasha said "true, but the jewel shards made it even better. Koga is such a sucker." He then sprinkled a liquid onto his fish, which caused huge flames to momentarily flare up from it. Miroku said "warn me when you do that." Shippo asked "what kind of liquid did you have?" InuYasha said "it's a special liquid called alcohol. This stuff is like flammable sake." Shippo said "wow." Sango asked "won't you still taste the alcohol?" InuYasha said "no, the alcohol actually fuels the flare-up. The stuff has already been consumed." Miroku asked "is the food ready?" InuYasha said "stand by." He got out a digital meat thermometer and stuck it in the fish. After taking the temperature reading, he said "we're good."
As they were eating, InuYasha stuck two leftover fries under his upper lip. He then clapped his hands and made seal noises. Miroku and Shippo were falling over in laughter. Sango rolled her eyes and said "InuYasha, you are so immature." She got two of her own fries and said "besides, this is how you do it." She stuck her fries under her upper lip and did the seal impression. The other three were rolling around laughing (InuYasha with his fries still wedged in). InuYasha managed to stop laughing long enough to actually eat his fries. Sango stopped the seal imitation and ate her fries.
In the modern era, Kagome was beating the virtual tar out of Sota on her Wii's boxing game. Grandpa said "I play winner." Sota said "I think that's going to be Kagome. She's already beating the shit out of me." "SOTA, LANGUAGE" her mother yelled from another room. "Sorry" Sota replied. Sota's virtual avatar eventually went down, and Kagome got grandpa's virtual avatar up. Soon, the boxing match began. Grandpa didn't take any damage as he sent Kagome down for the virtual count real quick. Kagome was in shock by the time the match was over. She looked at her grandpa's avatar, and then looked over at her grandpa and said "holy crap, grandpa." "Anyone else?" he asked. Kagome's mom said "OK, old man, I'll fight you."
In the feudal era, Sango had just finished baking a pastry. "Dessert's ready" she said. Shippo jumped onto Sango's shoulder and said "what kind is it?" Sango said "it's strawberry." InuYasha's mouth was watering a lot. "Strawberry" he muttered. Sango felt Miroku's hand on her rear. She lifted her foot and kicked back. Instantly, the Monk keeled over in a soprano-pitch moan. InuYasha was laughing his head off. "That's what you get, monk" he and Sango simultaneously said. Shippo also added "maybe you should think before you do that, monk." Miroku let out another moan as he rolled over and then said "I can't help it." InuYasha said "I've got a little secret for you, Miroku." Miroku leaned in, and InuYasha let out a loud belch. "Would you knock it off?" Miroku asked. "No, I don't think he will stop, Miroku" Sango said.
Later that night, as everyone was asleep, Sesshomaru was on the prowl. "Now is a good opportunity" he said. Rin asked "will you need any assistance, my lord?" Jaken said "I don't get why you would ask such a stupid question." Sesshomaru said "that wasn't a stupid question. I may require you to pin that fox down, Rin. Jaken, you keep the others at--. Oh, hi, brother, I didn't know you'd be out so late." Inuyasha responded "well I am, Sesshey, so what are you planning to do now?" Sesshomaru, said "don't call me Sesshey!" InuYasha whipped out Tetsusaiga and said "just try it, whatever it is." Sesshomaru replied "TIME TO DIE, INU--!" "Sit, lord" Rin said. As he slammed down, Sango and the others awoke in the hut. Sesshomaru shouted "WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT, RIN!" Rin said "just because you're taking him out, YOU DON'T NEED TO BE SO FUCKING LOUD! Others are sleeping."
Sango heard that and thought "InuYasha needs help." Getting the Hiraikotsu, she said "Miroku, Shippo, let's go." Sesshomaru heard them and thought "crap, we need to retreat and come back another night." He was instantly hit by the flying Hiraikotsu. "Leave him the fuck alone, Sesshomaru!" Sango said. Sesshomaru shouted back "FUCK YOU, I DIDN'T DO SHIT TO HIM." Miroku asked "then what was with your 'time to die, InuYasha'?" then Sesshomaru replied "well it was interrupted by Rin's sit command. Still, I didn't do anything. Right, Jak--? Where'd he go?" InuYasha lept onto Sesshomaru, saying "try me!" Sesshomaru yelled "hey, no fair tickling!" A few minutes after, Sango had another tape ready. "InuYasha…" she said. She hit play, only to hear a male voice from the speaker singing "I'm too sexy for my shirt; too sexy for my shirt; so sexy, it hurts." She immediately hit stop, but InuYasha took over with "'cause I'm a model, if you know what I mean…" Sesshomaru said "this is stupid, I'm going. Until next time, brother." As Sesshomaru left, InuYasha kept singing "I'm too sexy for my--." "Shut it!" Sango said.
The next morning in the modern era, Kagome had just finished a nice breakfast. Packing sodas and a cooler of ice into the trunk, she noticed the glint of the chrome on the trailer hitch. "InuYasha will be so excited to see me" she thought. In the feudal era, Miroku was looking at the sunrise on an exceptionally beautiful day. Sango joined him and said "this is so beautiful. Sunny day, not a cloud." InuYasha was heard saying "sure, it's beautiful." After he scoffed, Sango went in. InuYasha was still lying in his area of the hut. He let out a groan that had Sango a little concerned. "Are you okay, InuYasha?" Sango asked. InuYasha replied "I wish I was."
He suddenly had his hand over his mouth as his cheeks puffed. Sango thought "oh, man, he's going to hurl." Shippo shouted "don't worry, Sango, I got a bucket for InuYasha!" When he was handed the bucket, he threw his head into it and threw up. Sango almost cringed Miroku said "let's get InuYasha to lay back down." "PLEASE, NOT A SIT COMMAND!" InuYasha pleaded. Sango said "don't worry, InuYasha, just lay back down and rest. Okay?" As he lay back, Sango felt his forehead. "You're burning up" she said. InuYasha groaned in pain. Shippo said "Sango, you get to the well. Miroku and I will tend to InuYasha." Sango agreed and was off. "I'll only be around ten minutes" she said. InuYasha grabbed the bucket. Shippo got back in with an empty bucket just in time to see InuYasha hurl into the first bucket. Miroku thought "poor InuYasha." He then said "if I don't get out of this hut soon, I'm going to need that bucket." He went outside and waited.
At the well, Sango saw the car emerge. Kagome rolled down the window. "Sango, where's InuYasha?" she asked. Sango said "he's back at Kaede's hut." Kagome unlocked the car doors and had Sango get in. Sango said "he wasn't exactly able to come out to the well." Kagome asked "is he hanging out with Kikyo behind my back again?" Sango said "no, he's not. His health is a little wonky." Kagome instantly pinned the gas pedal to the floor. Sango was pressed into the seat by the acceleration. "Are you nuts, Kagome?" she asked. Noticing a concerned look on Kagome's face, Sango said "we're watching out for him, though. Miroku and Shippo are watching him as we speak." Kagome said "thanks for watching him for me. I'm just worried for him now." The car sailed off a hill, sending Sesshomaru diving for cover again. "Dang blasted demon cart!" he yelled. He then noticed that he landed in a bowlful of peaches. "Oh, man, peach stains" he moaned. Despite this, Rin and Jaken were laughing a little. "Ah, shut up" Sesshomaru barked as he slopped the two of them with the smashed peach goo.
At Kaede's hut, the car was arriving. InuYasha heard the vehicle and said "Kagome's here." He started to get up, when Shippo said "don't move." Too late, as InuYasha suddenly lay back and grabbed the bucket. Outside, Kagome asked "Miroku, what's going on with InuYa--?" She suddenly heard him retching from in the hut. "…sha" she finished. Miroku turned and asked "did he try to get up again?" Shippo said "yeah, he did." InuYasha moaned "Kagome" and hurled again. Kagome gasped "InuYasha" and rushed in. She saw him holding the bucket. As he gazed up at her, he said "Kagome, you're probably the most welcome sight I've seen all morning." Kagome replied "I think I've got some white soda to help your stomach, as well as some saltine crackers." Shippo, perplexed by this, asked "how's that going to help him?" Kagome said "it should settle his stomach. I'll then be able to give him medication from my time." Kagome got the soda ready and got to InuYasha's side. Opening the can, saying "here, InuYasha" she said. She propped him up and poured the soda in his mouth. She also removed the necklace. "Why is Kagome removing the necklace?" InuYasha thought. Kagome used her free hand to feel his forehead. "My goodness, you're burning up" she said.
After the soda was administered, Kagome laid InuYasha back down and said "now just take it easy while your stomach cools down." Shippo then came in with a big stack of buckets. The stack was a little taller than he was. "More buckets, Kagome." Kagome replied "I don't think we'll need that many buckets, Shippo." Shippo simply set the stack down and looked on. Shippo said "well, I hope Naraku doesn't show up." Miroku said "Sesshomaru, either." Shippo asked "do you think Koga would come?" Sango replied "I doubt that." Kagome almost dropped the remaining sodas. "What do you mean, Sango?" she asked. Miroku said "I'll explain that to her, Sango." InuYasha, hearing this, was starting to snicker a little. Kagome asked "what's so funny?" Miroku said "I'm about to explain that. Don't say anything, InuYasha. If you do, I'll break my fucking foot off in your fucking ass!" Sango chided "Miroku." Kagome put the necklace on Miroku and said "sit, monk." After plowing the monk into the floor, InuYasha was laughing his head off. "You got busted" he said. Miroku got up and said "I meant to say that Koga thinks you're dead, Kagome." Kagome asked "why would Koga think I'm dead?" Miroku replied "InuYasha, shut it!" InuYasha said "okay" and stopped laughing.
Miroku then said "Koga apparently witnessed your entering the well. Since he is unaware of the world on the other side, he believed that you had crashed your vehicle in an act of suicide." Kagome asked "how stupid could Koga be?" Shippo said "he even gave us all four of his jewel shards." Kagome said "what?" InuYasha said "it's true. He came to break the 'news' to us. I simply thought of my saddest experience to get tears going. I was faking being greave stricken over your supposed death, and I even had the others follow my lead. He gave us his shards in honor of your memory and said we could call on him if we needed any assistance in fighting Naraku." InuYasha got out the four shards, started laughing again, and said "he's so stupid." Kagome was looking at the shards and was about to laugh herself. "You didn't even ask for them? Koga truly is a sucker. I don't get why Koga would think that I would be dead and give up his jewel shards that easily." She then remembered seeing Koga land on the ground behind the car just before entering the well. "I guess Koga saw me and the car go into the well at a high speed" she said, "a speed no human could survive hitting the well bottom at. He'd also find no trace of either me or the vehicle. No wonder he thought I was dead."
Kagome said "okay, InuYasha, I'll be back in momentarily." InuYasha asked "what are you going to get?" Kagome replied "a device to see how burning up you are." As Kagome and Sango got out to the car, Kirara was going into Miroku's lap. Miroku said "Kirara, you can cuddle up here." Kirara suddenly lowered her head and started making noises. Her stomach was moving in and out. Miroku, perplexed by this, asked "Kirara, what are you doing?" Kirara persisted until she threw up into Miroku's lap. "KIRARA!" Miroku yelled.
Outside, meanwhile, Sango said "wow, those units on the top of the car are new." Kagome replied "I just got them done last night. They're made to resemble InuYasha's ears." They then heard Miroku yell out from in the hut. Kirara was darting out. Miroku was still seated and scooting himself back with his hands. "These were my good robes, too!" he yelled. "InuYasha" Kagome yelled. InuYasha called back "that wasn't me!" Sango looked and saw the barf in Miroku's lap. "Who puked on you?" Kagome asked. Miroku replied "it was Kirara." Kirara, was at Sango's feet when she dropped her head and started urping again. Sango said "oh my" and jumped back. Kirara barfed on the ground, and Kagome cringed with Sango after seeing that. "I hope Kirara isn't catching what InuYasha has" Sango said. Kagome felt Kirara's forehead and said "she isn't; there's no fever." Miroku asked "then why did she barf…all over my good robes?" Kagome said "I have no idea." With that, she got a thermometer and headed back inside. "Take care of Miroku and Kirara" she said. Sango said "okay."
Inside, InuYasha was still laying down. "Now that was funny" he muttered. Kagome said "InuYasha, what was so funny?" InuYasha asked "you didn't see Miroku?" Kagome asked "oh, that?" InuYasha said "yeah" and was nearly laughing. Kagome said "well, here's the device. How are you feeling?" InuYasha replied "well, I'm not puking anymore." "That's a good sign" Kagome replied, "but let's check your temperature." She activated the thermometer and said "okay, open up. This metal tip will go under your tongue. You need to make sure it doesn't move an inch out of position." InuYasha said "okay" and opened his mouth. Kagome stuck the thermometer in and said "okay, hold the tip there." With the thermometer in position, the temperature kept rising. Kagome dealt a hand of poker, getting a good hand in the process. "Yes, full house" she said. InuYasha got some paper and a pen (of Kagome's) and wrote "four of a kind." When he showed her his hand, she said "you've got me beat, InuYasha." The thermometer started beeping. Kagome said "okay, this can be removed now." She got the thermometer and looked. "Oh my" she muttered, "105.8 degrees." Shippo asked "is that bad?" Kagome said "that's the danger point. SANGO, MIROKU!"
Sango and Miroku (with a large towel around his waist) rushed in. "What is it, Kagome?" Sango asked. "InuYasha has a very high fever; he's in danger; just two degrees from a fatally high temperature." Miroku asked "what can we do to break the fever?" Shippo asked "why not use ice?" InuYasha said "I think that's a…good…ide--." He suddenly passed out. "InuYasha!" Kagome yelled. She turned to Sango and said "I've got ice in the car for the sodas. We need some of that ice, and fast!" "I'm on it" Sango said as she bolted to the car. Shippo said "I was going to say that I had a clean bucket available, but never mind." Kagome was looking at InuYasha worriedly. "InuYasha, stay with us" Kagome pleaded.
