The next day at Kagome's school, Kagome's day went like any other. At lunch, Kagome met up with her friends. "Hi, Kagome" Eri said. Ayumi said "after what we did to InuYasha, we decided to make it up to you." Yuka said "we will treat you and InuYasha to the best night of your lives." Kagome asked "you are?" Eri said "you bet. Get this: spa treatment, dinner at Les Sœurs Heureuses, and a special surprise afterwards." Kagome asked "dinner at Les Sœurs Heureuses? I thought it was impossible to get a reservation there." Yuka replied "not for us three." However, on their way to their weights class later that day, they heard the rumble of thunder from an ever-darkening sky. "Oh, no" Eri whined as the wind began to pick up. Yuka replied "great, there goes the special surprise." Kagome said "don't worry. There's still the spa treatment and dinner at Les Sœurs Heureuses left."

At Higurashi shrine, InuYasha was waiting. "Man that sky is looking really ugly out there" he remarked. Kagome's mom replied "I know; they said it'd be storms like this for the next three days." "Lousy weather" InuYasha said. Kagome's mom replied "well at least we won't be caught walking in this crappy weather any time soon." Then, some rapid beeping was heard from a small black box mounted under the cabinets. "What's that thing?" InuYasha asked. Grandpa replied "it's the weather radio." Kagome's mom turned it on and heard its computer voice saying "the weather service has now issued a severe thunderstorm warning in effect for all of Tokyo. Repeating, a severe thunderstorm warning is now in effect." As the radio continued, Kagome's mom said "oh, dear. Hopefully the electricity doesn't go out."

Meanwhile, in weights class, the coach was in the midst of his pre-starting lecture when he and the students saw a very large lightning bolt flash outside. An exceptionally loud thunderclap was heard as well. Suddenly, all the lights promptly went out. "Oh, crap" the coach said, "I hope the power comes back soon. Stay seated, everyone, the lights should be back on sometime." However, it was only the back-up LED-based lights that came on. All other electronics (along with the main lights and the wall outlets) were still dead. Yuka remarked "so much for our plans this evening." Indeed, Ayumi got a text on her phone from the restaurant informing her of the inconvenience forcing them to shut down. The spa also sent a similar text. They all looked at Kagome. "The restaurant and spa can't open" Eri said.


At the shrine, the power was also out. Only the weather radio (having its own back-up battery power supply) was still active. "The city is currently experiencing a power loss" it declared, "at 1:48 pm, a power loss occurred, darkening 90% of the area." InuYasha, over the radio's rambling, said "well, this sucks." Grandpa said "I'd better find the flashlights." Kagome's mom said "Where are you, Buyo?" The radio then continued with "the weather service has now issued a tornado watch in effect for central and southern Japan. Areas impacted include Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto…" InuYasha got a panicked look as he whimpered "tornado?" Kagome's mom said "no need to worry, InuYasha." "There's a tornado out there, that thing said" InuYasha wailed. Kagome's mom replied "it's only a tornado watch, which is no cause for alarm. A watch only means that conditions are favorable for a tornado to form. You only need to worry with a tornado warning, which indicates that one has formed. We're only under a watch." InuYasha calmed down and said "okay." Grandpa was heard saying "Buyo, where are you?" A loud yowl and a louder thud later, InuYasha said "I found him." Grandpa came up from the basement with a flashlight saying "here we are."

Later, Kagome and Sota arrived. InuYasha said "Kagome, thank goodness you're safe." Kagome replied "I'm fine, InuYasha. The thing is my three friends had a special evening planned for us. However, with the power loss, the events had to be postponed." InuYasha said "it'll be okay, Kagome. They could just move it to some other time. Right now, that thing said the area is under a tornado watch." Kagome said "oh, goodness." Later, during a candlelight dinner, InuYasha kept glancing at the sky outside. Kagome said "InuYasha, just because there's a watch doesn't mean a warning is guaranteed to follow. Tornado warnings rarely happen, so there's no need to worry." Indeed, the weather radio said "the tornado watch for the Tokyo area has been cancelled. At 7:52 pm, the storm that prompted the watch had weakened in strength and is no longer capable of producing a tornado." With that, InuYasha was able to focus more on the food. Kagome thought "good grief, now he's going to be more into the food than anything else." After dinner, Kagome and InuYasha were still hearing the storm raging on. Kagome was about to turn on a battery-powered home planetarium when all the lights went on. InuYasha said "hey, the power's back." Kagome said "oh, darn. I was hoping we could do some stargazing with this planetarium. We could even have made a little love under the stars." InuYasha said "we just need to cover the window and turn off the lights. Kagome looked at her cell phone and said "maybe, but it's 11:30 pm. We'd better get to bed."


The next day, the storm was over. After a good and hearty breakfast, InuYasha and Kagome were getting the stash of gold coins out of her closet. InuYasha said "are you sure about this, Kagome? What about your grandpa's wishes?" Kagome replied "he'll have to get over our not using this money for an immediate wedding." InuYasha asked "so we're just going to split the money evenly between us when you exchange these gold coins with your era's currency?" Kagome said "exactly. We split the money evenly and we decide how to use our individual shares of it. I won't decide how you use your share, but I will plan on going on one heck of a shopping trip with my share."

Later, InuYasha had the coins stacked up in a little red wagon. "Oh, man, this thing is going to be a pain to get uphill" he said. Then Kagome asked "are you sure you don't want to use the car to carry the coins? That could save your back, you know." InuYasha said "I guess we can use the car." With that, they got the coins in the car and went up to the shop. Upon entering, the clerk said "good afternoon. How can we help you?" Kagome said "we have this stash of circa-1497 gold coins we'd like changed over." The clerk asked "how would you like it?" Kagome said "Yen, please." The clerk counted all the coins and started handing out the Yen bills in bundles. As the number of bundles kept growing, Kagome said "holy schnikes!" InuYasha replied "man, it just keeps coming and coming." Soon, the clerk said "here we are: ¥1,367,097,794. Sign here, miss…uh." Kagome said "oh, I'm Kagome Higurashi." She then signed her name on a piece of paper that was on a clipboard. After putting all the money in the car, they went back to the shrine.


In Kagome's room, Kagome was dividing out the cash 50-50. Kagome got it all counted and said "here you are, InuYasha. Your share: amounting to ¥683,548,897." InuYasha stammered "six…hundred…eighty-three million…" Kagome replied "not one yen less." InuYasha said "you'll have to…excuse me…for a moment, but I think I'm going to faint now." Sure enough, he fell back. Kagome, catching him in her arms, said "InuYasha!" She then started fanning him. "InuYasha, you need to wake up now! I know it's a lot, but you can't just faint on me like this. InuYasha! Can you hear me?" Kagome continued fanning, thinking "what can I do?" "InuYasha, please snap out of it" she pleaded. Kagome called "Sota, I really need help, here!" Sota asked "what is it, sis?" He then noticed InuYasha passed out in Kagome's arms. "Oh, lord" Sota said. Kagome said "Sota, InuYasha fainted." Sota asked "oh my goodness, what'll we do?" Kagome replied "get me a glass of water; I have an idea." Sota said "right away."

When Sota returned, he said "got the water right here, Kagome." Kagome replied "thanks, Sota," and then poured the glass of water on InuYasha. InuYasha slowly started to awake. Kagome said "InuYasha." InuYasha asked "Kagome, w-what happened?" Sota said "you fainted, InuYasha." Kagome said "you're lucky I was here to catch you as you fell."
