Kagome and the others had piled into the car. They were on their way in pursuit of a jewel shard. Kagome said "Sango, I think I found out something new about the Shikon jewel." InuYasha asked "something new about it?" Kagome replied "yes. This is how I am able to have this car's gas tank made out of the same material as the jewel without compromising it." She told of her dream with the periodic table of the elements. Sango said "so, let me get this straight--." InuYasha interrupted with "you put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up; you put the lime--." "InuYasha, not helping!" Sango chided. InuYasha said "sorry, couldn't resist." Sango said "anyway, Kagome, let me get this straight: the Shikon jewel is actually an orb of a magical element called Shikonium?" Kagome said "correct, and I'm able to form more of it while limiting the magical properties of the newly made samples." Miroku said "so that's why no demon has ever been coming after this thing's gas tank."

They soon reached the coast. Kagome stopped the car and said "I think we'll need some water transport. We'll stay the night in my era." She went off towards the well. InuYasha said "oh, Miroku, try and control yourself." "What did I do?" Miroku asked. InuYasha replied "let's see, act like a pervert to the ladies of Kagome's time. Especially for Kagome's three friends." Kagome said "yeah, that reminds me." She got the necklace off InuYasha and put it on Miroku. InuYasha said "at least I'm not the one trying to flirt with everyone." Kagome then went off for the well again.

Sesshomaru, meanwhile, went to the lair of Totosai. The sword smith barked "what are you doing here, pest? I've got swords, and I'm not afraid to use them!" Sesshomaru said "Calm yourself, Totosai, it's me Sesshomaru. My presence is not hostile this time." Totosai then asked "well, what can I do you for? Third sword? Accessorizing gems? Name engravement?" Sesshomaru replied "it's about Tenseiga, but I would like to have another sword afterwards." Rin said "sit, lord." Sesshomaru plowed down and asked "what was that about, Rin?" "Don't you have an effective enough fighting sword?" she asked. Sesshomaru replied "well I was thinking that for the third sword it would be used as either a fire sword or a double-bladed sword." Totosai said "those features will cost extra." "How much total, Totosai?" Sesshomaru asked. Totosai replied "it'll run you 270 gold coins." Sesshomaru was shocked. "Why 270 gold coins?" he asked. Totosai replied "I'm in business, now. Features such as twin blades and fire ability are pricey." Sesshomaru turned and asked "Jaken, how much do I have in there?" Jaken looked and said "you have 269 gold coins and 33 silver coins." Sesshomaru yelled "WHAT?" He then grumbled "damn that InuYasha; especially since it takes 100 silver coins to equal one gold coin." Rin said "this is…not…good."

In the modern era, the red sports car raced its way out of the well. Everyone got out as Sota ran out to greet them. "Hi, guys" he said. Soon, everyone was inside. Kagome's mom said "oh, InuYasha, I wanted to tell you that it's steak night." InuYasha said "excellent" and continued playing with Buyo. Kagome barked "will you put that cat down, InuYasha." InuYasha put the cat on the floor and Buyo simply rolled on its back. "Who's a good little kitty?" InuYasha cooed, "who's a little kitty cat? Little pussy cat, yes you are." Everyone except Kagome was looking at this in shock. Kagome said "he loves these kinds of pets." Miroku said "I don't blame him." Sango said "it reminds me of Kirara." Soon after, grandpa shouted "OKAY, DINNER'S READY! EVERYONE GET YOUR FAT ASSES AT THIS TABLE!" "Dad" Kagome's mom chided. Grandpa said "sorry, dear."

Sesshomaru, meanwhile, asked "can't I get a discount for this sword? You knew my father." Totosai said "he's the one who, some time ago, suggested I go into business like this." "Still, can't I get a discount?" Sesshomaru begged. Totosai replied "sorry, sir." Sesshomaru said "then you won't get the information I have about Tenseiga." Rin said "well...not from him, maybe." Sesshomaru said "don't even think about it, Rin." "Sit, lord." After plowing down again, Sesshomaru spat "I'll still not give him the information; only if he makes me a sword, I'll give him the informa--. Rin, where'd you get that gold coin?" Jaken looked and said "Rin, you could've told me you had one of these?" As Sesshomaru grumbled, Jaken said "that makes...270 gold coins." Sesshomaru said "Where did you get that gold coin, Rin?" Rin replied "it was in here with the rest of them." Sesshomaru asked "why didn't you tell me you had that one in the first place?" He handed over the gold coins and said "270 gold coins. Don't you need a fang of mine?" Totosai got some pliers and said "open wide, Sesshomaru." Sesshomaru did so and the sword smith positioned his pliers. "You might want to cover your ears" he said. Rin and Jaken did so. Sesshomaru asked "cover my--? AAAAHHHHHHH!" Sesshomaru looked over at Rin and Jaken and saw them uncovering their ears. "You two are lucky you didn't hear me scream" Sesshomaru said. Totosai said "one double-bladed fire sword." Sesshomaru said "oh, that would explain why you got two of my fangs. Now my mouth hurts."

Back in the modern times, Kagome and the others were enjoying dinner. InuYasha picked up a narrow-neck red bottle and, mispronouncing the text on the label, said "tab-bay-scew." Sota said "oh, that's Tabasco." InuYasha said "okay," opened the bottle, and began slopping the sauce all over his steak. Kagome took notice and said "uh, InuYasha, that's the kind of stuff you shouldn't be messing with." Finding that she was too late, she said "I'm going to get some water." InuYasha put the bottle down, ate four pieces of sauced steak, but did not get the fifth one down before he felt steam racing out his ears. He was screaming and grabbed Sango's Pepsi. Sango thought "oh, dear" as InuYasha slammed down the whole can of the soda. Miroku said "maybe I should get another one." InuYasha grabbed a metal tray and was smacking himself in the face with it repeatedly. Kagome finally made it back in and found InuYasha smacking himself with the tray. "InuYasha" Kagome said, "InuYasha, give me that!" Grabbing the tray, she handed him the glass of water and said "here." InuYasha drank the glass of water and had finally put his tongue's fire out. Kagome said "InuYasha, here's the steak sauce. What you had was the spiciest stuff known to man."

Grandpa said "I'll trade you steaks…wimp." As the trade occurred, InuYasha stood up and barked "what'd you call me, old man?" Grandpa stood up and said "I said you were a wimp. What are you going to do about it?" InuYasha said "let's see you drink the whole bottle of that!" Kagome said "uh, that's a stupid idea, InuYasha." Grandpa still shouted "if I do that, you do it, too!" InuYasha yelled "YOU'RE ON!" Miroku muttered "this will end badly." Kagome said "I know." Grandpa chugged the entire bottle of Tabasco and said "now you, dog boy!" "Grandpa" Kagome chided, "would you two give it a rest al--." She saw InuYasha already drinking the sauce and, defeated, muttered "…ready." InuYasha got the whole bottle down, slammed the empty container onto the table, and said "beat you, old man." His tongue immediately flared up. Grandpa's tongue too had started smoldering as well. Kagome heard both of them screaming, got water for them, and said "enough of your stupid challenge." After extinguishing their flames, they gawked quizzically at Kagome. Kagome said "now no more challenges." Her mom said "now, I'm not sure what to do with this tray; it's all dented." InuYasha said "you could keep it for when you're serving something al dent-é." Kagome's mom started laughing as everyone else groaned. "Lame joke" Sango said, "very lame joke."

Back with Sesshomaru, Totosai was hammering the fangs into blades. Sesshomaru said "I believe Tenseiga has gained a new ability." Totosai said "a new ability, how interesting. Tell me more." Sesshomaru said "I was swinging it when it slipped out of my hands and into a lake." Totosai snorted and said "klutz." Sesshomaru said "laugh all you want, old man, but the sword started emitting a blue glow when it was in the water." Totosai stopped laughing and muttered "the Lake of Life." Sesshomaru started with "precic--." He then got mildly shocked and asked "wait, how'd you know about this lake?" Totosai pulled out a map and said "this is one of only four copies of this rare map. The lake up here is described as being sacred." Rin said "I think I have one of the other three copies, Totosai." She pulled out her copy and Totosai said "how astounding. So, what's the new ability that was gained from the lake?" Sesshomaru replied "the sword is no longer limited to just one resurrection." Totosai was overwhelmed. "That's an amazing new ability" he said.

Back in modern times, Kagome, InuYasha, and the others were outside by the car. "So, where is this special watercraft?" InuYasha asked through a mouthful of sherbet. Miroku asked "do you ever stop eating?" InuYasha replied through the same mouthful of sherbet "hell no." Kagome said "InuYasha, swallow what you have and then talk." InuYasha swallowed and said "sorry." Kagome asked "so, what did you ask me earlier? I couldn't get a word of that since I don't speak Sherbet." InuYasha said "I asked where this special watercraft is." Kagome said "it's over here in the shed." She opened the shed and pulled out the trailer holding the very boat she won at her school picnic. Painted the same shades of purple as Miroku's robes and bearing yellow text reading "Miroku II," the others were amazed. "Whoa" InuYasha said. "Look it has a miniature version of the staff's headpiece" Shippo said. Sango asked "so boats from this time have wheels?" Kagome replied "no, the wheels are only on this special cart the boat sits on. This cart, called a trailer in my time, allows me to take the boat with me where there's no water."

Then, an all too familiar voice called "oh, Yashey-Washey!" InuYasha's ears perked up and he thought "oh, crap, don't tell me it's Kagome's three friends." Shippo said "hey, it's Kagome's three friends." InuYasha muttered "son of a buck." Sure enough, Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi all came over. Ayumi went over to the boat while Yuka and Eri both got hold of InuYasha. Eri said "so, what are you up to, Yashey-Washey?" InuYasha, slightly ticked, said "Kagome, I could use a little--." InuYasha was cut off by Eri giving him a massive kiss. Miroku slapped his hand over Shippo's eyes. Shippo yelled "hey, why is it so dark, now?" Kagome turned to see InuYasha being kissed by Eri and held by Yuka. The kiss ended and Eri asked "…action? You were saying you could use a little action? I could probably arrange that." Sango gasped and Kagome yelled "ERI!" Yuka said "yeah, you got action from him the last time; it's my turn." Kagome said "Eri, Yuka, let go of him before I kick your sorry rear ends."

They released him as Ayumi said "besides, you two, you ought to be checking out this thing." Kagome noticed that Ayumi had gotten in the boat. Ayumi then said "I think Kagome is going to take this thing for a spin!" InuYasha scoffed and said "it's not like you're invited to join us." Kagome, forgetting that the necklace was on Miroku, said "InuYasha…" InuYasha casually asked "yeah, what?" Kagome said "SIT, BOY!"

She heard Miroku slam into the ground and yell "I didn't do anything; what was that about?" InuYasha said "I can't believe you said that since Miroku's got the necklace and not me." Kagome got the necklace off Miroku and on InuYasha. "Okay, smart butt" she said. She then turned to the monk and asked "are you okay, Mir--?" Her eyes bugged out as she saw the monk by Eri and Yuka. He was rubbing a certain area on them as he said "if you wanted a little action, you could've asked me." The two were quivering as Miroku kept rubbing until they finally screamed and hit him. InuYasha said "Miroku, just because Kagome isn't threatening you with the necklace, it doesn't mean you can start womanizing." Kagome said "I'd have to agree with InuYasha on this one; no womanizing or that necklace is going right back on you." Miroku said "all right, I'll stop." Yuka looked at her watch and said "holy smoke, we're going to be late, guys." Eri said "yeah, we'd better get going." Shippo asked "where to?" Ayumi said "we promised Hojo we'd meet him at the ballgame tonight." With that, the three went off with "see you, Kagome."

Later, at a local boat ramp, Kagome was reading up on how to launch the boat. InuYasha, as per Kagome's instructions, disconnected the trailer lights and brakes and then said "okay, Kagome." Kagome said "okay, now undo the tie-down straps." InuYasha did so and signaled to Kagome. She gave InuYasha the end of a line attached to the boat saying "hold this so the boat doesn't get away. Kagome backed up in the car to maneuver the trailer down the ramp. Kagome stopped short of the water, got out, and undid the safety chains on the trailer. She then maneuvered the trailer into the water, released tension on the winch, and disconnected the winch from the bow hook. When Kagome pushed on the boat, Sango and the others were amazed when the boat simply floated off the trailer. InuYasha kept his grip on the line he was holding as he moved the boat to the nearby dock and secured it. Kagome, meanwhile, pulled the trailer back out onto land and parked the car elsewhere. Sango said "that boat is so awesome." Miroku said "that thing is sleek-looking, but where are the paddles?" Kagome sprinted back to the dock from the car and said "okay, let's get on board, guys."

They got in and Miroku asked "Kagome, where are its paddles?" Kagome replied "they're not really necessary, but there are 'just in case' paddles in that compartment near the bow." She pointed out the compartment in question and Shippo asked "so, if the paddles aren't needed all the time, how do we get underway?" Kagome replied "like this" and started the boat's engine. "Untie us, InuYasha" she said. InuYasha untied the boat and said "okay, Kagome." Kagome backed the boat up a little and then threw the throttle full forward. As the boat took off, everyone got pushed back into their seats. Shippo said "holy shit." Kagome chided "Shippo." Shippo said "sorry, but that scared the crap out of me. What the--?" Sango said "we get the idea and don't blame you." Miroku, not noticing this conversation, said "oh, yeah! WHOO! This thing has got speed!" InuYasha was standing up and yelling "WHOO-HOO! This is the best boat ride ever! YEAH! WHOO-HOO!" Shippo said "InuYasha, I think that's a big understatement." Kagome said "InuYasha, get back in the seat, please" and turned on the panel lights and navigation lights. InuYasha sat back down with his excitement going sky high. He then stuck his head out past the windshield and looked ahead.

Meanwhile, on a bridge ahead of the boat, Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi glanced over to see a boat far off but closing in. InuYasha had his head out to the side of the windshield and screamed with excitement. "WHOO!" he yelled, "hey, ladies, WHOO!" Kagome turned to InuYasha and said "InuYasha, enough of the yelling. We know already that the boat is awesome." The boat had passed below Kagome's three friends and they recognized the voice. Eri said "wow, sounds like InuYasha is excited." The three resumed their walk to Hojo's house as Ayumi said "true, but it's too bad he keeps turning down opportunities for us to get him more excited." Yuka said "not before I get him more excited, Ayumi." Eri said "you two are going to look very embarrassed when you miss your opportunities while I get laid with him."

Later, the boat was getting back to the dock next to the boat ramp. InuYasha said "wow, Kagome, you are one heck of a good boating instructor. Thanks for teaching us about how to drive this thing." Miroku said "I am amazed at this thing's turning ability, there's no boat in our time that can turn quite as sharply." Kagome got the boat tied at the dock and replied "thanks, guys. Now, we can get to that offshore jewel shard; tomorrow after breakfast."
