Kagome was dreaming of being in her science classroom. As she was washing some chemistry glassware, she heard a voice from behind her. "Kagome" it said. Kagome almost dropped the test tube she was washing. She looked and saw a periodic table with eyes and mouth simply floating in midair. "Kagome, I must inform you of a power you have" this periodic table said. "What do you mean by that?" Kagome asked. The periodic table replied "have you wondered about how your car's gas tank is the same material as the Shikon jewel without actually compromising it?" Kagome replied "no, but now when you bring it up." The periodic table said "well, as you know, the Shikon jewel contains four souls: friendship, love, wisdom, and courage. When that priestess expelled the jewel, what was actually expelled was the combination of tangible forms of those four souls. The combined souls reacted with the oxygen in the air to form an orb of a new element called Shikonium. This orb of an element with magical properties is better known as the Shikon jewel, named for the Shikonium content." Then Kagome said "then why didn't professor Derus know about this?" The talking chemical chart replied "well, when a priestess had the jewel burned with her corpse, the only occurrence of that element was gone, having turned to a dust called Shikonium Oxide in the intense heat." No records of this element were made, but you have resurrected it. You also now have the power to turn other materials into the substance. With your power, the magical properties of these samples are also given limits, unlike the original jewel." Kagome watched a new block appear on the talking chart, which bore an atomic number of 119, the name Shikonium, and the atomic symbol "Sk." Kagome's reply was "amazing." Yuka came up behind her and asked "who's that little fellow there?" That moment, Kagome woke up and found herself in her room.
She felt something close by on her face and moving around. She giggled and said "InuYasha." She turned and saw Buyo sniffing away. She then discovered that InuYasha was gone. "InuYasha?" she asked, thinking he might have been nearby. She thought "don't tell me he'd go back." Buyo was pawing at something in her hand. She looked and saw the note that InuYasha had tucked there the night before. "Buyo, leave that alone" she said. She looked at the folded-up piece of paper and thought "maybe this is a love note." She unfolded the paper and found that it read "Kagome, I went back to the feudal era. I'll see you in a little while. Love, InuYasha." Kagome got out of bed and heard her mom say "breakfast is ready, Kagome!" She got dressed and replied "okay." Just as she was about to head down to the kitchen, she heard Sota yell "Kagome, get your fat ass down here!" "Sota" her mom chided. Kagome arrived in the kitchen as Sota was saying "sorry, mom." She saw that breakfast was French toast. Taking some on her plate, she said "mom, this looks so good."
Back in the feudal era, InuYasha and the others were discussing what to do while waiting for Kagome's arrival. Shippo suggested "how about a game?" InuYasha burped and Miroku said "InuYasha, must we?" After another loud belch from InuYasha, Miroku asked "is that a challenge, InuYasha?" Sango said "InuYasha, don't challenge him now; especially not with that." InuYasha said "too bad, Sango" and burped again. Before Sango could put this to a stop, Miroku let out two loud belches. Shippo was laughing while Sango was rolling her eyes. InuYasha and Miroku started passing wind to beat the band. Upon getting a whiff, Sango clapped her hand over her nose and mouth. "You guys are so gross" she said. InuYasha flopped down on the floor and said "okay, you win, Miroku. Man!" "Sorry, InuYasha" Miroku replied.
Kagome had arrived back in the feudal era, when she heard her Palm Pilot going off. She picked it up and looked. The screen was showing "warning: new moon night imminent." Kagome said "oh, no." She made her way to the village and found InuYasha at Kaede's hut. Seeing her, he said "Hi, Kagome. Back so soon?" Kagome said "yes. I had to. Do you know that tonight is the night of the new moon?" As she showed him the Palm Pilot, InuYasha replied "I already knew that without electronic assistance." "That's true" Kagome said, "you want some breakfast?" InuYasha replied "sure." Shippo asked "what did you bring, Kagome?" "French toast" Kagome replied. Shippo asked "French toast?" Trying a little bit, the fox demon leapt up and said "this is really good!" InuYasha said "Merci, Mademoiselle Kagome." Kagome said "not that kind of French, although it is impressive." After breakfast, she asked "how about we walk for a while?" InuYasha agreed and they went off. As they walked, they found a flower patch. InuYasha picked some flowers and gave them to Kagome. "How sweet" Kagome beamed, "thank you, InuYasha." "You're welcome, Kagome" he replied, leaning in for a kiss. Kagome had also leaned, and their lips met. Kagome's heart was aflutter and InuYasha felt light as a feather. "That was wonderful" Kagome said.
Sesshomaru, meanwhile, was asleep on Ah-Un's back. Rin and Jaken were gazing out. "Rin, we could've had information on InuYasha" Jaken barked. Rin snapped back "how would you know if they would've known where InuYasha was?" She thought "Jaken, you're a moron." Jaken said "well, the fox tyke did wish Lord Sesshomaru sarcastic luck in finding him." Rin barked back "well, it may not be a case of the fox tyke hiding anything. Besides, if they knew, they wouldn't wait around and sit--!" A loud thud was heard from behind them as Sesshomaru was flung into Ah-Un's back by the inadvertent sit command. "Oh, shit" Rin thought. Sesshomaru asked "what was that for, Rin?" Jaken asked "well, me lord, just getting up?" Sesshomaru barked "'just getting up'? Are you insane? I was slammed into Ah-Un's back!" Rin said "I was arguing with Jaken and I accidentally said the 's' command." Rin turned to Jaken and said "we would not have been any closer to InuYasha than had we continued interrogating." "Well, who didn't apologize at the hut when they retrieved the sword?" Jaken barked back, "we'd have saved a lot of trouble if--!" "ALL RIGHT, STOP IT!" Sesshomaru yelled. With Rin and Jaken's attention, he said "get a grip! At least you're alive." He looked down and said "besides, I see InuYasha down there." He pointed at what looked like a moving red dot on the ground. "He's in the midst of that village, me lord" Jaken said. Sesshomaru replied "let's not land there; we'll scare too many people. Let's land on the outskirts, where we won't attract attention." Rin asked "how do you do that, Lord Sesshomaru?" Sesshomaru turned to Rin with a puzzled look as she continued with "how do you know what I'm about to suggest?" "That was freaky" Sesshomaru replied. Jaken said "even I must agree." After a hard turn to the left, Rin said "I think I've got it." As they descended, Sesshomaru asked "Rin, are you sure you don't want me to--?" They crashed into a tree at that moment.
As Kagome and InuYasha walked along the lake together, he asked "did you hear something?" Kagome replied "what did you hear?" InuYasha said "it sounded like the results of a distant sit command. Oh, well, I guess I imagined it." They then noticed Miroku up to his usual antics as he was flirting with the women. InuYasha looked and said "what a pervert. Flirting around like that, I swear we ought to put him in a box." Just then, Kagome had a mental light bulb illuminate. "InuYasha, have you ever wanted to make a fool out of Miroku?" she asked. InuYasha replied "yeah." "Meet me at Kaede's later on" Kagome said, "I'll get something from my car." As she went, InuYasha snuck up behind Miroku. "Well, I have only one favor to ask of you. I wish for you to--." InuYasha immediately slugged the monk in the head. "Shut up, pig" he barked. Miroku turned around and said "InuYasha, I didn't see you there. What a surprise." "Sure thing, you filthy fucking monk" InuYasha retorted. "Ooh" the nearby ladies said. "I'll show you fucking" Miroku barked. He immediately plowed into InuYasha, causing a massive brawl between the two. The women, meanwhile, were screaming with fright.
The screaming got Kagome and Sango's attention. Upon arriving, they saw the massive (one-sided) fight between InuYasha and Miroku. "Where do you think you're going, dog boy?" Miroku barked as he pounded the living tar out of poor InuYasha. "Miroku!" Sango yelled. Kagome went to InuYasha and attempted to get him away. Miroku wasn't exactly making it easy for Kagome. "Sango, I could use a little help, here" Kagome yelled. Sango rushed for the raging monk. "I'm already ahead of you, Kagome" Sango said. She flung her fist right at Miroku, slugging him in the face. "What was that for?" Miroku yelled. Kagome knew that InuYasha was merely feigning unconsciousness. Despite this, she yelled (with a convincingly sad tone) "are you happy you killed him?" Miroku looked back no longer in rage. "What do you mean, Kagome? He can't be dead." "Damn" InuYasha said, slapping a tree root in the process. Kagome looked at InuYasha and said "crap, we could've had him fooled." Sango, meanwhile, said "you deserved that sock in the chops for beating the living tar out of InuYasha. What is the matter with you?" InuYasha and Miroku simultaneously pointed at one another saying "he started it." Stunned by Miroku's comment, InuYasha barked "me? You're the one who had to be womanizing! I was just stopping that."
Some distance away, on the outskirts of the village, Sesshomaru muttered "pity how my possessing that monk had little effect. I almost had him kill InuYasha when that demon slayer intervened and broke my spell." Jaken said "aye, me lord. At least Naraku didn't see this failure." Then Sesshomaru said "don't be so sure about Naraku seeing my failure. He could be watching this as we speak." Turning to Rin, whom was washing Ah-Un and nursing two bruises on the beast's left neck nearby, he said "Rin, do us a favor. Make sure you're able to manually fly Ah-Un proficiently before doing so with us riding along." Rin said "I'll try my best, Lord Sesshomaru."
Later at Kaede's, InuYasha asked "so what do you have in mind for making a fool out of Miroku, Kagome?" Kagome said "well, tonight is the night of the new moon, right?" When InuYasha murmured in agreement, Kagome said "okay, here's the deal. Tonight, Miroku will meet a lady from the village in need of him; someone who is also in need of someone whom she could bear children from." InuYasha asked "and where in the village can we find such a girl?" Kagome replied "I'm looking right at her." "WHAT?" InuYasha yelled, "Kagome, you realize I'm not a girl, don't you?" Kagome said "well…uhhh…" She then noticed Sango peeking her head in. "Sango, hi" Kagome said. Sango asked "what's going on here?" Kagome said "we're planning to make a fool out of Miroku." Sango replied "well, I want in on this, too." InuYasha said "Kagome, this isn't going to work. I'm not a girl." Sango got a shocked look on her face, until Kagome said "maybe not right now, but all you need is a little prep." "Huh?" InuYasha said in shock. Kagome opened her backpack and drew out two flesh-colored water pouches, some flesh-colored putty, and an adhesive. Filling the pouches, they were each some 5 inches across at their maximum capacity. Kagome held the pouches up to InuYasha's chest saying "here's where we start." InuYasha's eyes were bugging out as he said "you've got to be kidding me." Kagome said "I'm not kidding, InuYasha." Turning to Sango, she said "Sango, I'll need your feminine help on this as well." As Sango agreed with a handshake, InuYasha's eyebrow was twitching nervously.
Kagome removed InuYasha's top kimono and shirt. She glued the water pouches to his chest and used the putty to conceal the gaps, making the pouches appear as growths. "What are you…" InuYasha asked. "Now, we're on a roll" Kagome said. Sango got lipstick on InuYasha's lips as Kagome applied eyeliner. InuYasha grumbled at this. "Stop moving, InuYasha" Kagome said. "Roll up your pant legs" Sango said. "For what?" InuYasha barked. Kagome said "siiii…" InuYasha quickly got his pant legs up. "Thank you" Kagome replied. She then applied strips of a strange parchment with a somewhat hot coating to his legs. "Sango, you take that leg" Kagome said as she handed more strips to her.
InuYasha asked "what are you doing, Kagome?" Kagome lied "just applying some herbal strips." InuYasha was still worried. "Do the herbs really need to be heated like that?" Sango said "this leg's got full coverage." Kagome said "Kaede said they do wonders when heated." She had gotten the last of the strips on. After five minutes, Kagome said "treatment is done. Ready, Sango?" Sango gave Kagome a thumbs-up and Kagome said "okay, 1, 2, 3!" They both yanked hard simultaneously. The layout of the strips had both legs cleared in one rip. InuYasha let out a loud scream. Hands twitching, he yelled "SON OF A BUCK, THAT HURT! THAT FUCKING HURT!" Kagome said "well, the wax hair removal seems to have worked." "YOU SAID IT WAS AN HERBAL TREATMENT! Why hair removal?" InuYasha wailed. He was rubbing his own legs in disbelief. Kagome said "Sango, if you may." Sango replied "to make for a more realistic illusion. All of us ladies remove hair from the legs." "Well, I guess beauty hurts" InuYasha said. Kagome said "well, that was one of the more painful means of removal." "THERE ARE METHODS WITH LESS PAIN? WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU USE ONE OF THEM?"
After some 30 seconds, the pain was subsiding. InuYasha asked "so, anything else?" Kagome said "yes. Get undressed." InuYasha was stunned. Both he and Sango simultaneously ask "WHAT?" Kagome held up some women's clothing of that time. InuYasha said "okay, but I'll need privacy for the lower part." Kagome said "I figured. Oh, Shippo, we're ready." Shippo came in with a folded-up privacy screen, which he promptly unfolded. InuYasha, upon seeing the screen, thought "wow, they're really prepared."
After InuYasha was fully changed, Kagome said "come on, InuYasha." InuYasha came out and said "I look ridiculous. Miroku isn't going to fall for this." Kagome held up a mirror and said "the sun hasn't set yet." InuYasha replied "even so, he'll know it's me. He'll recognize my scent and the necklace." Kagome said "I think you're right." She promptly removed the necklace and said "Sango, if you may." Sango then drenched InuYasha with perfume. "What the heck is this smell?" InuYasha spat, "Kagome, what is this stuff?" Kagome said "it's perfume." InuYasha said "I do detect a hint of strawberries in this scent, though." Kagome said "now all we have to do is wait for the sun to do the rest." InuYasha replied "agreed."
Kagome said "here's how it'll work. When Miroku walks to you, he'll ask if you're the woman looking for him. You say so. He may do his usual antics, so don't do anything to give the whole thing away." InuYasha replied "got it. So when do I reveal the truth to him?" Kagome said "well, when he kisses you--." "WHAT?" InuYasha yelled, "How do you know it'll happen?" Kagome replied "well, I just have a feeling he will. However, if nothing else, you may need to kiss him yourself." "WHAT?" InuYasha yelled. Sango was shocked as well. "Kagome, is that such a good idea?" Sango asked. Kagome said "why not? Miroku won't recognize InuYasha until he reveals himself after doing that." Still shocked, Sango said "I'm still not sure about this."
Shippo suddenly said "InuYasha, hide; he's coming!" InuYasha vaulted into a storage bin and said "Kagome, make sure he doesn't get suspicious." With that, he closed the lid just as Miroku entered. Kagome said "play with these cards" and handed Shippo a deck of playing cards. Sango grabbed some makeup as Kagome grabbed another handful. Miroku asked "how's it going in here?" Kagome said "okay." Miroku said "that's good. Have you seen InuYasha anywhere?" Kagome and Sango, faking concern, said "no, we haven't. Why do you ask?" Miroku said "oh, I was afraid of this. Tonight's the night of the new moon and he's off on his own!" "Crap, we forgot tonight's the night!" Shippo yelled. Sango asked "what are we going to do?" Kagome said "I don't know, but we've got to find him…fast." Sango said "Kagome, try a sit command." Kagome said "I don't know if he's out of range, though." Sango said "borrow Kirara, Miroku. Well join in when we're ready." Miroku said "okay. We'll meet at the well." He was promptly off.
Kagome said "okay, InuYasha." InuYasha got back out of the storage bin. Sango said "Miroku is looking for you. Get back into your normal garb." "What about the makeup, Kagome?" InuYasha asked. Kagome drenches him in water, removing the makeup and perfume instantly. InuYasha spat out some water and said "thanks, Kagome." Kagome promptly placed the necklace back on him. "Kagome, don't you trust me? I don't need to wear this stupid thing!" InuYasha yelled. Kagome said "except for cosmetic reasons." InuYasha asked "what do you mean 'cosmetic'?" Kagome said "Actually, I made that to look like the real necklace. Observe as I make you SIT!" InuYasha flinches, only to see the actual necklace fly out of Kagome's pocket and onto the floor. With two more sit commands, InuYasha sees the empty necklace jotter a little on each command. "I get it: the one I'm wearing now is a fake; Miroku won't get suspicious" InuYasha said, "Good thinking, Kagome." Kagome handed him his folded-up kimono, saying "I leave the rest to you." InuYasha promptly changed back into his normal kimono. When he came out, he said "well, what about these things?" Kagome said "I'll just empty them out." Kagome drained the water out of the pouches, flattening them. "Now, let's find Miroku" Sango said.
At the well, Miroku was waiting. He was playing his favorite tune on a bamboo flute. Sango arrived. Kagome and InuYasha stayed hidden in the foliage. "Any luck, Sango?" Miroku asked. Sango replied "I looked everywhere and couldn't find him. Kagome went to search in a different direction, but she got no leads." Miroku said "InuYasha should be around here somewhere." Sango commented "I don't think he'd go to Kagome's world without her." Kagome then yell "I found him!" She whispered to InuYasha "okay, just like I told you." As InuYasha gave her thumbs up, Kagome turned the other way and yelled "you're in big trouble, mister!" Grabbing one of InuYasha's ears, they got out of the foliage moving as though Kagome were actually pulling on his ear. InuYasha added to that with "ow, ow, ow, owww! Kagome, let go of my ear! I'm not a kid! OWWWWW!" Kagome let go and said "you're in so much trouble, pal. Come, Kaede's hut, NOW!" InuYasha asked "what did I do, Kagome?" Miroku asked "what did he do this time?" Kagome said "you've got a lot of nerve running off on your own like that when your powers are going to disappear!" InuYasha replied "I was trying to do some training before I become mortal. I wasn't going to fight my brother, Sesshomaru, or anything." Kagome said "still, we need to talk. Kaede's hut. MOVE!" "Yeah, yeah, whatever, Kagome" InuYasha replied. Kagome grabbed his ear again as she yelled "MOVE!" As they got further into the woods, Miroku and Sango heard him yelling "okay, okay, stop pulling my damn ear…" Miroku said "well, at least we know InuYasha is safe and sound." "Safe and sound, maybe" Sango replied, "but he is in trouble." Miroku agreed with "I know; he's in deep shit."
Further into the forest, however, Kagome let go of InuYasha's ear and said "okay, I think we're out of earshot now." They high-fived one another and made it back to the hut. "Okay, InuYasha, we need to go back into lady mode" Kagome said. "Come on, Kagome" InuYasha complained, "not the ladies' clothes again." Kagome replied "unless you want to wait until after the sun sets." InuYasha said "oh, right." He got back into the clothes and asked "so, Kagome, you have everything--?" Kagome promptly whipped out a toothbrush, Full Metal Alchemist edition toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash. InuYasha dragged the rest of his statement with "…I'll need…afterwards." Kagome said "right here and ready to go." With that, she began re-applying the makeup and refilling the water pouches. He was ready with perfume soon after, and Kagome said "now we wait for the sun." InuYasha agreed.
Back by the well, Sango said "Miroku, there's a lady in the village who said she wants to meet you." Miroku asked "a woman who wants to see me. Any reason why?" Sango said "she said she wanted to meet someone who would give her company." "I will gladly provide company for her" Miroku said. Sango merely thought to herself "sucker. You're taking the bait."
