Sesshomaru, after a while, was walking along cussing under his breath. Rin said "I hope you know I can hear all that!" Sesshomaru replied "it doesn't matter now, because InuYasha has all of my damn money!" Jaken said "not all of it, me lord." Sesshomaru replied "I thought all that money was in all that gold." Jaken opened Ah-Un's carrying pouch and said "no, you've got a fair amount of other gold and silver in here." Sesshomaru said "if only I could find out how much I gave that son of a--." Rin asked "great…dog…demon?" Sesshomaru replied "I wasn't thinking of that obvious ending. At least I wrote down how much I started out the day with."
Rin pulled out an abacus and handed it to Sesshomaru. "I guess I might as well calculate that" Sesshomaru said. He counted his remaining gold money and put it on the abacus beads. Sesshomaru then did the subtraction of the result from the money he started the day with. As the beads were being shuffled back and forth seeming endlessly, Jaken asked "how does Lord Sesshomaru do that? He doesn't skip a beat." Rin replied "I taught him. Don't forget that is my abacus." Sesshomaru finally shuffled the last bead and looked very shocked. The abacus slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground, erasing the result. "So, how much was it, me lord?" Jaken asked. Sesshomaru only maintained the shocked stare as a bead of sweat formed on the back of his head. Then Rin asked "Lord Sesshomaru, are you okay?" Sesshomaru fell back and went swirl-eyed. Rin worriedly whined "Lord Sesshomaru." Jaken said "this doesn't look good. Maybe you should re-do it all." Rin agreed and, with the abacus on the ground, set to work re-counting the gold coins and subtracting from what they had started with.
When Rin finished re-calculating, she almost fell back. After hearing her let out a whimper, Jaken asked "so, what is it?" Rin replied "986 gold coins." Jaken let out a horrified scream. "THAT'S HOW MUCH WE LOST?" he then yelled, "THAT ROTTEN LITTLE--!" Rin said "forget InuYasha, now! We need to revive Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken replied "oh, right." Sesshomaru was still in a swirl-eyed daze as Jaken said "are you okay, me lord?" Rin pleaded "Lord Sesshomaru. Lord Sesshomaru, can you hear me?"
InuYasha, meanwhile, was with Kagome in her car. They were heading back to the well. InuYasha asked "you mean you haven't even counted it yet?" Kagome replied "I haven't had the chance. Now I can with you helping me." InuYasha agreed, and then Kagome slammed on the brakes. With this near-collision with Kikyo, InuYasha stuck his head out the window and yelled "you want to watch where you're going, jackass?" Kikyo thought "what the heck has Naraku done to InuYasha by turning him to metal?" Kagome gave Kikyo the finger and yelled "get the hell out of the way, mother-fucking bitch!" Kikyo said "piss off, wench" and went on her way after giving Kagome the finger. Kagome resumed the journey to the well.
Once in the modern era, her grandpa was outside. "There you are, Kagome" he said. Kagome got out and asked "what's going on, grandpa?" Grandpa said "Sota is up in your bedroom playing with those coins." After going up to her bedroom, she saw Sota stacking the coins in a triangular arrangement with each coin supported by two others beneath. "SOTA!" Kagome yelled. Sota jumped up, startled by Kagome's sudden shout, and knocked over a section of the arrangement. "Sis, I didn't expect you back so soon" he said. He left, and InuYasha gathered the coins up from everywhere. Kagome knelt down to help, only to be bounded off by Buyo. Buyo subsequently landed on the remaining section of the coin arrangement and knocked it around before jumping onto Kagome's bed. InuYasha playfully asked "Buyo, what are you doing, you crazy cat?"
They soon had all the coins gathered. Kagome examined one of the gold coins and noticed that each of them had the diameter of a tuna can and the thickness of a flash drive. InuYasha said "well, we might as well get to counting them." Kagome agreed and they were putting them in stacks of ten. When they accumulated ten stacks (of ten coins each), Kagome put the stacks into clusters of 100 coins as InuYasha continued to make stacks of ten coins. Soon, InuYasha had stacked all the coins from the bag. Kagome then counted 9 clusters, 8 completed stacks, and 1 incomplete stack of six coins. InuYasha asked "so, how much have we got?" Kagome stated "I count 986 gold coins." InuYasha yelled out "WHAT?"
Kagome, noticing InuYasha having fallen back with a look of utmost shock, asked "InuYasha, are you okay?" InuYasha moaned "986 coins; man, Sesshomaru is going to be pissed beyond forgiveness; he's going to kill me when he finds out I swindled off this much money from him!" Kagome noticed InuYasha was stressing out about this; especially since he appeared to be hyperventilating in panic at that point. Kagome tried to calm down InuYasha by saying "InuYasha, calm down, please. InuYasha!" The thought of a sit command crossed her mind, but she thought that the command would only make it worse. Then she said "your brother can't get to this time InuYasha, so we are safe." "He might be waiting" InuYasha whimpered. Then she gave him a paper bag and instructed him to breathe in and out slowly. As he was doing so, Kagome said "If you want, InuYasha, I'll go back and ask Sango to keep a look out for Sesshomaru." When he finally calmed down, he said "that might not be needed. However, that's still a heck of a big jackpot." Kagome said "it doesn't sound that much in this time InuYasha." She then looked at the coins dimensions as InuYasha stated "with 986 gold coins, you could buy three castles spanning 5 square miles each, and still have quite the riches left over!" Kagome replied "maybe in your time, but in this time, InuYasha, I'm not sure." InuYasha said "I'd better tell Miroku and Sango." Kagome shouted to Sota "thanks for the website; I'll get to checking the modern day value!" Turning back to InuYasha, she said "I'll come to get you when I figure out the modern-day value."
Meanwhile, back with swirl-eyed Sesshomaru, Rin asked "Jaken, what are we going to do?" Jaken had an idea. "I have water in this pouch" he said, "I'll pour it on him." Jaken uncorked the pouch and dumped the water onto Sesshomaru, snapping him out of his daze in the process. Rin asked "are you okay Lord Sesshomaru?" Sesshomaru whimpered and said "I hope so." Jaken replied "we figured out how much it was." Sesshomaru said "as did I. We really got suckered." As Sesshomaru let out another whimper, Rin replied "it wasn't your fault, Sesshomaru, it was InuYasha who tricked us." Sesshomaru whined "but he got quite a fortune off us. He's probably sitting pretty in the three 5-square-mile castles he could buy with that while sleeping with god knows who." Jaken said "I understand that was quite a fortune, but he also could be scared on spending that money since he knows that you want revenge…or a refund." Sesshomaru stood up and said "you'd better hope you're right, Jaken. We must find him...NOW!" Rin replied "I have a feeling that InuYasha is truly too scared to spend any amount of money knowing that you're on his tail." Sesshomaru yelled "Ah-Un, wake up!" The dragon's left head awoke, while its right head remained asleep. After butting its right head with its left head, the right head awoke as well. Sesshomaru got on the dragon and said "we're going, guys. MOVE!" Rin and Jaken scrambled onto the dragon and they were off.
InuYasha emerged from the well on foot, only to duck back in as Ah-Un landed nearby. Sesshomaru said "we question his friends as to his whereabouts. We'll then find him and interrupt his little party at his newly purchased castle with every hooker in the land." InuYasha thought "why would I need a hooker when I've got Kagome? I wouldn't need any castle either, just a hut will do." Sesshomaru and his entourage were walking by the well when Rin said "I don't think InuYasha will be using any of the money since you're looking for him. Also, isn't he in love with that mortal friend of his?" Sesshomaru replied "yeah, and a priestess; who knows who else he'll want to snag." Jaken replied "I heard the priestess tried to kill him, and he lost interest in her after the incident." As their conversation continued into the distance, InuYasha got out of the well and went to Kaede's hut.
He found Sango and Miroku making out. He taunted "Sango and Miroku sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes the love, then comes the marriage…" "InuYasha" Miroku said. InuYasha just continued with "…then comes the baby in a baby car-- OW! What'd you do that for, Miroku?" Miroku said "enough. Besides, you and Kagome are no different." Sango asked "so, how much did you swindle from Sesshomaru?" Miroku looked at Sango and said "oh, right." InuYasha had them lean in, and he muttered "986 gold coins." Sango and Miroku nearly jumped back. "HOLY JEEZ" Miroku yelled. Sango yelled "whoa, man. Holy crap." She nearly had a panic attack. Miroku said "holy shit, InuYasha!" InuYasha hissed "get down, Sesshomaru's coming!" As they got down, they heard Sesshomaru, Rin, and Jaken talking more. Sesshomaru asked "how did you hear about the wench priestess trying to kill InuYasha, Jaken?" Jaken replied "well, a demon told me when I was on my way to get InuYasha to help us with the war we had with the cat demon tribe." Sesshomaru said "well, either way, he needs to either refund me or die." Rin replied "well, given that he knows you're looking for him, he will not show his face around." Sesshomaru said "which is why we need to find him."
Moments later, Kaede and Shippo came in. InuYasha hissed "hit the deck!" Kaede and Shippo both dropped to the floor. Miroku said "Sesshomaru is out there." Kaede asked "why would Sesshomaru be here?" InuYasha said "he's seeking vengeance for my swindling a fortune off him." Kaede asked "how much did ye swindle off yon brother?" InuYasha said "986 gold coins." Shippo yelled "holy shit!" Miroku chided "Shippo, watch your language." Before Shippo said anything else, Kaede said "InuYasha, ye and Kagome need to get married immediately!" Everyone else got a look of shock. InuYasha whimpered "m-married?" and fell back in a swirl-eyed daze. Kaede, not noticing InuYasha's daze, said "aye, married." Miroku said "Kaede, look at InuYasha." Kaede looked and said "oh, my." Shippo said "I guess we should wait until Kagome returns."
Kagome, meanwhile, had gotten onto a currency conversion website. "Okay, 986 circa-1497 Japanese gold coins" she thought as she typed the amount and selected the source currency. She clicked a button, but then said "crap, I had it set on U.S. Dollars instead of Yen." The computer blipped up "986 gold coins- 1497 Japan = $15,000,000.00 U.S." Kagome was stunned, upon estimating how much Yen it would equal. "Holy Shit!" she whimpered, "Sota, get up here!" Sota came in and asked "what is it, sis?" Her mother and Grandpa were there, too. "I converted the amount and came up with 15 million," Kagome said. Grandpa said "¥15,000,000 could barely even get a Rolls-Royce. What's the big deal?" Kagome said "I don't mean Yen, grandpa. I mean 15 million U.S. Dollars." Her mother yelled "HOLY CRAP!" Grandpa said "U.S. Doll--? Kagome, fetch InuYasha back here at once. The two of you must marry immediately." Everyone else asked "WHAT?" Kagome asked "why?" Grandpa replied "you guys are set for life with that kind of money."
InuYasha was still in his swirl-eyed daze. Shippo asked "what are we going to do?" Sango said "I'm not sure." Miroku had an idea. He got some ice water and drenched InuYasha. InuYasha shot up, yelling "COLD! HOLY SHIT, THAT'S SO FREAKING COLD!" As he was shivering, Kaede said "aye, marriage." The near-frozen half demon asked "what's that supposed to mean?" "Ye and Kagome must marry immediately, since you have more than enough money." InuYasha shivered "I'm f-f-f-f-freezing here! Could I get a blanket?" Sango got a blanket and moved him closer to the fireplace. "What were you saying, Kaede?" InuYasha asked. Shippo asked "didn't you hear her just now?" InuYasha spat "I was freezing my dingle berries off! I wasn't exactly tuned in fully." Kaede repeated "Ye and Kagome, with the fortune ye got now, must marry immediately!" InuYasha got nervous again. "Married?" he whined, "how do you know we're ready?" Kaede replied "if not, then ye must get ready, and immediately." InuYasha's jaw dropped, then Sango spoke up. "besides, despite having a fortune of any magnitude, why should Kagome and InuYasha get married?" Kaede asked "well, don't they love one another? You did say without regard to finances." InuYasha blushed and said "yes, I do love Kagome." "Then marry immediately," Kaede barked, "ye have an opportunity with all that money!" InuYasha said "look, I'll need to discuss this with Kagome, okay."
Kagome, meanwhile, was on her way to the car. "I need to discuss this with InuYasha first" she said. Grandpa said "okay, then after that, you can marry here and the other side." "…if they agree to do so" Sota replied. Kagome vaulted into the car over the side and said "I'll be back." She was then off.
InuYasha was waiting at the well. The car raced out of it, and stopped. "InuYasha" Kagome said. "Kagome" InuYasha said. They went to one another and shared a nice kiss. Kagome said "you were right, InuYasha. That amount of money was one hell of a fortune." "Kagome, Kaede is insisting we get married immediately." Kagome, shocked as heck, said "so is my grandpa." InuYasha said "I'm not exactly ready for marrying just yet." Kagome replied "neither am I. I think we'd better wait a while." Once back at Kaede's hut, they were informed about the no-go decision. Kagome said "I'm sensing another jewel shard." With that, they were off.
