Daytime
Kimiko is swimming in a pond. She is wearing a bathing suit, while her school clothes, and a towel are on a nearby rock.
Kimiko stands up and raises her hands in the air happily saying. "Oh, this feels so good, Sparkling clear water and clean, fresh air! There's something to be said about this age, after all!"
"It's been three days since we left the village. Maybe there aren't any fragments of the Sacred Jewel left in Musashi county." Inuyasha said, resting on a tree nearby.
Myoga is sitting on a branch, looking in the distance. "Huh?"
"Say, are you listening?!" Inuyasha demands.
"Huh? Oh, you may be right. But my, my... the firm, luscious flesh of young women." Myoga answers then leers towards Kimiko's direction.
"Hey, you!" Inuyasha scolded.
"I'm just going to take a peek." Myoga tells Inuyasha hoping onto his knee.
"Stop! You'll only get whacked!" Inuyasha warns but something flashes past Inuyasha and catches his attention.
He gets off the tree and chases it, passing by Myoga.
"See? Master Inuyasha, you can't resist either..." Myoga mocks.
Inuyasha leaps among some trees. Kimiko notices something, turns around and screams. Inuyasha in midair jumps towards her, looking shocked. Inuyasha lands on a rock in the pond and struggles to balance himself.
"What?! I'm not peeking!" Inuyasha defends himself.
"I know that, but get my clothes back!" Kimiko demands pointing at something.
Inuyasha looks in the direction where Kimiko was pointing to. The thing that was flashed past him just now turns out to be a little white baboon. It continues sprinting off. A whistle is heard in the background.
"A finger whistle?" Inuyasha inquires intrigued.
...
A young man sits under a tree, with his hand over his mouth, whistling. The baboon from just is now hopping towards him with Kimiko's clothes and into his lap.
"Here, here... Hiyoshimaru. Good job." The Man praised as he reaches into the bundle of clothes and takes out a bra. "Th-this... isn't something to eat!" The Man says, embarrassed as Hiyoshimaru shrieks and slaps his forehead.
Inuyasha pops of out a nearby bush, clenching his fists. "Hey!"
Kimiko pops out behind Inuyasha embarrassed. "Please return my clothes!"
The Man unsheathes his sword and points it at Inuyasha and Kimiko. "Wh-who are you?! You look suspicious!"
Inuyasha kicks the young man in the face. "That's our line!"
Hiyoshimaru shrieks, raises his arms and runs around in circles.
...
The young man sits under a tree, munching on a bag of potato chips ravenously. Hiyoshimaru sits on his shoulder, biting into one piece of chip. Kimiko kneels next to him, and Inuyasha lies on the curved tree trunk.
"You really must've been hungry." Kimiko said and holds up her hand. "Want some tea?" Kimiko offers.
"Uh-huh..." The Man answers takes the tea and sips.
Kimiko reaches into her bag and takes out a bag of food. "Want something to eat too, Inuyasha?"
"No thanks." Inuyasha declines.
"If you eat, I'd have less to carry." Kimiko explained.
Inuyasha gets off the trunk and picks up Kimiko's bag. "Well, why'd you bring so much stuff each time you go back to the well?"
"Well, I have clothes to change into, homework..." Kimiko lists of.
Inuyasha slouches and closes his eyes. "Listen here..."
The Man slaps the empty bag of chips, Hiyoshimaru follows suit. "Mmmm... The dried potatoes were delicious. My thanks, woman."
"My name is Kimiko. He's Inuyasha. And..." Kimiko says through gritted teeth, but a sucking sound is heard and the young man slaps his cheek. "This is Myoga the Flea..." A flattened Myoga drifts from the young man's cheek towards Kimiko.
"Who the heck are they...?" The Man worriedly thinks.
"You said you had become separated from your comrades. Are you from a high-ranking family?" Kimiko wonders.
The Man folds his arms and turns away smugly. "For personal reasons, I cannot reveal my lineage." He walks a few steps away and turns around. "But call me Nobunaga."
Kimiko holds her face with her hands, excited. "Nobunaga?! No way!" She grabs Nobunaga's hand and shakes it. "Please let me shake your hand! And..." She grabs an ink-brush and a piece of paper, and bows her head. "Please give me your autograph!"
"Autograph?" Nobunaga questioned not knowing what to do or what that was.
Nobunaga holds the brush and paper, Kimiko pointing. "Oh, your name... Please sign your full name." Kimiko explains in further detail.
Nobunaga signs.
"Why're you so excited?" Inuyasha asks in a dead paned voice.
"He's Nobunaga Oda! Don't you know him? He's so famous!" Kimiko explained forgetting she was in the past.
"His full name is not Nobunaga Oda." Myoga points out.
"Nobunaga Amari? No! Aren't you Nobunaga Oda?!" Kimiko exclaimed crestfallen.
Nobunaga folds his arms and scoffs. "I belong to the Takeda Clan in the land of Kai. Don't lump me with that cretin from Owari!"
"Cretin?" Kimiko mutters.
"I mean fool!" Nobunaga replies.
"If you're not Nobunaga ODA, why didn't you say so earlier?!" Kimiko sighs in disappointment. "I got excited for nothing." Kimiko complains.
Nobunaga coughs in an important manner. "Ahem... Thanks for the food. I have an important mission, so I'll take my leave. Fare thee well." Nobunaga walks off.
"Hey, that's..." Inuyasha tries to warn.
Nobunaga's scream is heard in the background. Nobunaga is flat on a slope from where they were, and Hiyoshimaru grabbing onto the surface.
"The ledge...!" Inuyasha finishes.
"Such a simpleton, but he's not Nobunaga Oda." Kimiko complains.
...
A Small Village Surrounded By Mountains
A group of villagers gathers.
"Why are all the girls in the domain being taken there?" One Villager worriedly asks.
"I heard that none of the girls summoned to the castle have ever returned." Another Villager answers.
A group of girls walks in a line, with their hands tied up.
Nobunaga pops out of a bush. "Wh-what...? So the rumors are true!"
Inuyasha pops out behind with Kimiko. "Why do we have to keep this guy company?"
"Well... He doesn't seem like someone who can manage by himself very well." Kimiko replied.
"Look, we have to look for the Sacred Jewel!" Inuyasha reminds mad.
"Just between us, I heard that the lord of the castle has been possessed by a demon." A Third Villager whisper to the other two.
"What?!" Inuyasha exclaimed in excitement, but, in his excitement, he subconsciously steps on Nobunaga's head.
Hiyoshimaru shrieks and runs around in circles.
...
In A Castle High Up In The Mountains
In one of the rooms, a pretty girl kneels and pours some water into a bowl. A lord, with his head and arms bandaged up, holds up the bowl.
"Princess Tsuyu... Have you adjusted to castle life?" The Lord questions.
"Yes, I have naught for want." Tsuyu answers.
"I am glad to hear that." The Lord reply's.
"Err... My lord?" Tsuyu timidity questions.
"Yes?" The Lord answers.
"I understand that you have summoned many of the young village women to the castle... Where are you keeping them?" Tsuyu inquiries.
The Lord drops his bowl and slams on it. "You do not need to know!"
"Please pardon me... for being so intrusive!" Tsuyu quickly tries to amend.
The Lord walks off.
"I'm so frightened. I wish I could go back to the land of Kai." Tsuyu whispers to herself.
...
Nighttime, At The Bottom Of The Mountain Of The Castle
Inuyasha, Kimiko and Nobunaga look up.
"No mistake about it..." Inuyasha said and scoffs. "This place reeks with the smell of evil. I'm sure we'll find a Sacred Jewel fragment." Inuyasha squats. "Okay, let's take a leap up there! Kimiko, hop on my back."
Kimiko hops onto Inuyasha's back, knowing it's the quickest way. "'Kay."
Nobunaga follows suit.
"Hey, why're you jumping on my back?!" Inuyasha yells.
"I have business at this castle, too." Nobunaga explains.
"Then climb up yourself." Inuyasha says annoyed.
"Just take him, too." Kimiko said, knowing they were wasting time arguing.
"Please!" Nobunaga begs.
"Oh well! Hang on tight!" Inuyasha gives in.
Nobunaga nods, determined. Inuyasha leaps up and over the castle fence. They land. Nobunaga and Kimiko get off Inuyasha's back. One guard is sitting by a bonfire and he is asleep. Another guard lies on a staircase, snoring.
"Such lax security... Everyone's asleep." Kimiko points out.
"Master Inuyasha, please be careful. They're under a hypnotic sleep. Probably everyone here in the castle." Myoga said.
...
Inside The Castle
Nobunaga slams open a door and yells loudly. "Princess! Princess Tsuyu! Princess Tsuyu! Where are you?!" Nobunaga slams open another door and more people are sleeping inside. "Nobunaga is here to rescue you! Princess! Princess Tsuyu!"
"Is it safe for him to yell like that?" Kimiko wonders to Inuyasha.
"Well, everyone's under a hypnotic sleep. With this much noise, I'm sure the demon will come seeking us out." Inuyasha points out making Kimiko nod in agreement.
Nobunaga slams open a door and find a woman sleeping, face down on the floor. "Princess! Princess Tsuyu! Are you all right?!" Nobunaga questions turning over her to find a snoring old woman. "Princess, what has become of you?!" Nobunaga cradles her, mock tears flowing.
"Say, Nobunaga... Isn't the princess you're looking for... over here?" Kimiko helps out referring to Princess Tsuyu who is sleeping nearby
"Huh?" Nobunaga asked, but notices and plops the old woman onto the floor. "Oh!"
"Such a beautiful princess! We must awaken her!" Myoga said and hops onto Princess Tsuyu's cheek. "I'll taste her blood!"
Princess Tsuyu wakes up and slaps Myoga.
"Princess!" Nobunaga cries in relief.
"Nobunaga...? Why are you here?" Tsuyu questions confused.
"Princess Tsuyu... you recognize me?" Nobunaga states in happiness but also shocked.
"How could I forget you? You are my childhood friend who was ever so kind to me." Tsuyu answers making Nobunaga blush.
Hiyoshimaru, on his shoulder, blushes too.
"Oh... Thank you for those words! I thought you had long forgotten a lowly vassal like me." Nobunaga laughs nervously.
"You'd fallen into the pond... or slip on horse dung...and always made me laugh." Tsuyu answers innocently.
Hiyoshimaru falls off and Nobunaga sighs disappointedly.
"Say, Inuyasha... Do you think Nobunaga is in love with the princess?" Kimiko whispers to Inuyasha.
"Keh! What a silly question!" Inuyasha whispers back both of them knowing the answer.
"I wish I could return to those days...!" Tsuyu wishes and starts to tear up.
"Princess!" Nobunaga says feeling sorry.
"My lord husband began to act strange shortly after I came here as his bride." Tsuyu starts explaining. "He fell at the edge of the pond in the garden and ran a terrible fever. He completely changed... Almost like he was another being."
"Nobunaga, what am I to do?!" Tsuyu desperately begged an answer out of Nobunaga.
"You have no choice! You must return with me to the land of Kai. Even your father has heard of this lord's derangement. In fact, he ordered me to come for you." Nobunaga answers.
"My father's orders?" Tsuyu questioned.
"Even had he not ordered it, I would have..." Nobunaga tells trailing off.
"Nobunaga..." Tsuyu said touched by how far her friend would go for her.
"Princess Tsuyu, I..." Nobunaga starts trying to say something.
"Nobunaga... On top of your head..." Tsuyu says, noticing Hiyoshimaru is spinning a bowl on top of Nobunaga's head like a circus clown.
"Hiyoshimaru...!" Nobunaga cries as he clenches his fist with mock tears flowing.
Inuyasha hears the lord's footsteps. "Hmm... It's coming. Let's go, Kimiko."
"Uh-huh." Kimiko agreed, wanting to leave and follows Inuyasha.
...
"Intruders!" The Lord yells angry.
"Keh! So there you are, you demon!" Inuyasha replied.
The Lord sticks out a long tongue and attacks Inuyasha.
"Let us see your true form!" Inuyasha demands leaping and slashes away the bandage on the Lord's face.
The Lord falls back, revealing a large toad masquerading as the lord.
"A toad?!" Kimiko exclaimed.
"My lord...!" Tsuyu gasps in horror and faints.
"Princess! Hang on!" Nobunaga pleads as he catches Princess Tsuyu.
The Toad Demon laughs and croaks. A pink glow appears on his right shoulder.
"I see it... the Sacred Jewel!" Kimiko informs Inuyasha.
"For someone with the Jewel, he doesn't look strong." Inuyasha states.
"Beware of him, Master Inuyasha. This demon toad is 300 years old... the Toad of Tsukumo. He is a formidable foe!" Myoga informed as he hopped onto Inuyasha's shoulder.
"I'll crush him in one blow!" Inuyasha announced.
Inuyasha brandishes his claws and leaps at Toad of Tsukumo, who burps out a breath of fumes at Inuyasha. Inuyasha is taken aback and falls onto the floor, clenching onto his neck. Kimiko steps back, coughs and puts a hand over her mouth.
"Oh no! Toxic vapors! Kimiko, do not inhale it!" Myoga demands as he hops onto Kimiko's shoulder.
"Okay... kind of figured that out." Kimiko said.
Inuyasha, Nobunaga and Princess Tsuyu cough. The Toad of Tsukumo walks towards Nobunaga and Princess Tsuyu.
"Princess Tsuyu!" Toad of Tsukumo calls.
"Get back, Monster!" Nobunaga demands as he cradles an unconscious Princess Tsuyu.
"Fool! Just what can you do, mortal?!" Toad of Tsukumo taunts the boy.
Toad of Tsukumo sticks out his tongue. Nobunaga dodges and the tongue pierce his shoulder instead. He yells in pain and falls backwards, Princess Tsuyu falls out of his lap.
"Nobunaga! Princess!" Kimiko shouts concerned.
A loud crash is heard. Toad of Tsukumo is running across a roof outside with Princess Tsuyu slung over his shoulder.
"Princess!" Nobunaga cries out struggling to get up.
"Don't move! You're badly wounded!" Kimiko orders going over to him.
"Never mind me! Save the princess!" Nobunaga dismisses his injuries more worried about the princess.
"Nobunaga... You truly love the princess, don't you?" Kimiko chuckles amused and touched.
"How could you tell?!" Nobunaga asks, shocked someone figured out his secret.
"Don't you know it's pretty obvious?" Kimiko answered, amusement in her voice.
"That disgusting toad! He won't get away!" Inuyasha states irritated as he looks out of the hole in the wall that Toad of Tsukumo burst out of.
Princess Tsuyu's scream is heard in the background. Inuyasha runs out of the hole onto the roof.
"I'm going on ahead!" Inuyasha tells his companions.
"Fine! Be careful." Kimiko calls out holding up Nobunaga.
...
In another room, Toad of Tsukumo laughing in a semi-ribbiting-semi-croaking manner.
"Princess Tsuyu... I like you... Let me have you!" Toad of Tsukumo demands.
Princess Tsuyu cowers into a corner, frightened. A loud crash is heard and Inuyasha bursts through the door.
"Found you, you repulsive toad!" Inuyasha said, but gasps as he notices Toad of Tsukumo caressing a toad-egg like sphere with Princess Tsuyu trapped, frozen in motion, inside.
"It's too late..." Toad of Tsukumo states happily.
"Wh-what are these?!" Kimiko inquiries as she reaches behind Inuyasha with Nobunaga.
"Princess Tsuyu!" Nobunaga yells out.
"The rumors were true... Just like toad spawn." Myoga said. "A lot of eggs with women sealed in them. The Tsukumo toad seals the souls of young women until they mature, then eats them. He used the magical powers of the Sacred Jewel to possess the clan lord, as well as the domain."
"He intends... He intends to devour Princess Tsuyu?! Why you-!" Nobunaga says outraged.
Nobunaga takes out his sword and charges at the toad. The toad balloons up his cheeks, readying another burp of toxic fumes. Inuyasha shoves Nobunaga aside and takes out Tetsusaiga.
"A miasma! Back away!" Inuyasha calls out.
Toad of Tsukumo burps out his toxic fumes, but Inuyasha leaps in time and slashes Tetsusaiga downwards, which transforms.
"Die, Toad Demon!" Inuyasha shouts.
A loud crash is heard.
"You did it!" Kimiko cheers.
"Ohh! You're controlling the Tetsusaiga!" Myoga proudly said.
"Well, he is rescuing a human. Plus, I did give him hints on how to work with it." Kimiko informed.
"I'll use Tetsusaiga to slit your belly and dig out the Sacred Jewel!" Inuyasha shouts.
Toad of Tsukumo gets up and touches his heavily wounded shoulder.
"I'll die!" Toad of Tsukumo realizes. He raises a hand and yells. "Spirits! Spirits!"
The eggs behind the Toad of Tsukumo glows and several women float out of their eggs and flies towards him. He opens his mouth wide open and devours the spirits. The wound on his shoulder stops bleeding and closes up.
"Revival!" Toad of Tsukumo proudly yells.
"His wound was healed!" Kimiko says shocked.
"Why that...!" Inuyasha grumbles irritated.
"Keep stabbing me! And for each wound, I'll eat a fresh spirit!" Toad of Tsukumo smugly replies as he stands up.
Toad of Tsukumo notices something and turns his head. Nobunaga is prying, with his sword, the egg that Princess Tsuyu was sealed in. She flows out with a pile of goo.
"Princess! Princess Tsuyu! Princess!" Nobunaga calls out.
"Nobunaga!" Tsuyu replied waking up and coughing. Princess Tsuyu hugs him. "Nobunaga!"
"Princess Tsuyu!" Nobunaga said, blushing as he hugs Tsuyu tightly. "I now have no regrets in life!"
Hiyoshimaru spins a bowl on top of his head again.
"What're you doing to my princess?!" Toad of Tsukumo demands angrily as he trotters towards Princess Tsuyu and Nobunaga.
"Keep your mouth shut!" Inuyasha demands as he slaps the toad on the head with Tetsusaiga.
The Toad falls backwards and faints. He wakes and stares in disbelief.
"Princess Tsuyu! I... I..." Toad of Tsukumo says in a different but gentle voice. He feels his face and looks around. "Is this all my doing?"
"Huh? It's too late to act innocent!" Inuyasha states mad.
"That voice... It's the voice of my kind lord husband!" Tsuyu says surprised but happy.
"I see! The real Lord still lives inside the toad! I know it!" Kimiko says relieved for Princess Tsuyu.
"What a frightening thing I have done! Although I was possessed by a toad demon, my heart was still human. But lately, even my heart... Kill me!" Toad of Tsukumo muses to himself then demands Inuyasha.
"Huh?" Inuyasha shockingly asks.
"Otherwise, I will end up devouring Princess Tsuyu!" Toad of Tsukumo further explains his odd request.
"My lord!" Tsuyu sadly says.
"I beg you! Slay me now!" Toad of Tsukumo cries.
"Pretty noble words... I gotta hand it to you, lord!" Inuyasha praises impressed as he holds up Tetsusaiga. "'Kay then, as you say!"
"Hold it, Inuyasha! What about the real lord?!" Nobunaga demands.
"Yes! He still has a human heart!" Kimiko agreed.
"Will you stop yapping?! The REAL lord is asking me to slay him! This is no time for silly sentimentality!" Inuyasha complains.
"Stop! Sheathe your sword, Inuyasha! Inside this monster, the real lord's heart still beats!" Nobunaga begs as he stands in front of the toad, like a shield.
"Why you-!" Inuyasha grumbles as he points Tetsusaiga at Nobunaga. "If you don't move, you'll die, too!"
"I can't die." Nobunaga replies back.
"Then move." Inuyasha demands.
"I can't do that either! I cannot allow you to kill the monster while the lord's heart beats! Even if he weren't a lord, I despise the taking of life!" Nobunaga reveals.
"Nobunaga..." Kimiko softly says.
"This may sound naïve considering the times in which we live... Laugh at me if you like. But I still... still...!" Nobunaga admitted.
"All right! I won't lift another finger. You guys can settle this. " Inuyasha said as he sheaths Tetsusaiga deliberately. Inuyasha sits down, folds his arms and sulks making Kimiko quietly giggle. "Humph!"
"Inuyasha..." Kimiko replies glad.
"Thanks for sparing me." Toad of Tsukumo laughs and talks in a different tone. He stands up, sticks his tongue out and pierces Nobunaga's shoulder.
"Nobunaga! The toad demon is back!" Kimiko warns.
"Nobunaga!" Tsuyu called out worried.
"Inuyasha!" Kimiko yells.
"If I help, the lord will die." Inuyasha states still folding his arms.
"Princess Tsuyu!" Toad of Tsukumo says tottering forwards.
"Kimiko... Pay me no heed. You must take the princess and escape!" Nobunaga explains struggling.
"All right! Let's go!" Kimiko nods determined.
She grabs Princess Tsuyu'shand and runs off.
"Nobunaga!" Tsuyu calls out.
Toad of Tsukumo totters forwards, making slurping noises. He stops and looks downwards. Nobunaga is grabbing onto his feet tightly.
Toad of Tsukumo kicks Nobunaga aside, next to Inuyasha. "Move!" Toad of Tsukumo said then totters out of the room, following Kimiko and Tsuyu.
"Fool. Now do you see?" Inuyasha asks.
"Do NOT kill him!" Nobunaga demands as he winces in pain.
"You!" Inuyasha yells annoyed.
"Princess..." Nobunaga softly says to himself.
Inuyasha remains seated and looks pensive in Toad of Tsukumo direction.
...
Kimiko Running In The Corridor With Princess Tsuyu.
"Isn't there something we can do?!" Kimiko desperately asks herself.
"Though a demon, he's still just a toad. He should have an aversion to heat." Myoga informed as he hops onto Kimiko's shoulder.
"Heat?" Kimiko realized as she stops and stares at Myoga.
"Then the toad will be in agony and the real lord will be released." Myoga explained his reasoning.
"And just how do we get hot water?!" Kimiko shouts frustrated.
"Stop!" Toad of Tsukumo called out tottering behind.
"He's coming!" Kimiko grabs Princess Tsuyu and runs again. "Something hot...! I know, fire! Is there something like a large torch?" Kimiko asks but not expecting an answer.
"Huh?" Tsuyu inquiries as Hiyoshimaru jumps onto Princess Tsuyu's shoulder.
"Hiyoshimaru! When'd you appear?!" Kimiko questions.
Hiyoshimaru leaps off Princess Tsuyu's shoulders and sprints forwards. While running, Princess Tsuyu trips and falls. Kimiko stops and turns around.
"I'll gobble both of you!" Toad of Tsukumo yells.
Hiyoshimaru hops towards Kimiko with a candle in his hands.
"Fire! Good work, Hiyoshimaru!" Kimiko praised as Hiyoshimaru leaps onto Kimiko's palms and scratches his back.
"It's too small..." Kimiko mumbles to herself.
Toad of Tsukumo unreels his tongue and attacks Kimiko. He hits her bag, causing her to fall onto the floor. The contents of her bag spill out. Toad of Tsukumo laughs smugly.
Inuyasha leaps from behind Toad of Tsukumo. "Wait up, repulsive toad!" Inuyasha lands in front of Kimiko, facing the toad and with his back facing Kimiko.
"Inuyasha!" Kimiko says in relief.
"Kimiko, the time for niceties is over! I'm gonna get 'im!" Inuyasha informed.
"Niceties? I know..." Kimiko starts, but comes up with a plan and turns around and notices an aerosol can that spilled out of her bag. "Hairspray! Thank you Kagome for packing this. It'll work... this will drive the toad out!"
"I'm gonna get 'im!" Inuyasha calls as he sprints towards the toad.
"Sit!" Kimiko shouts knowing it's the only way for Inuyasha to stop now as she turns around.
"Wh-whaa...!" Inuyasha says, confused as he falls flat faced onto the floor.
Kimiko stands up, holding her hairspray in one hand and the candle in the other. She sprays and a torrent of fire bursts at Toad of Tsukumo. He yells in pain, transforms into a tadpole-like form and flies off.
"It worked! Inuyasha, get the fragment!" Kimiko orders.
"I don't need you to tell me that! Die!" Inuyasha yells out annoyed as he gets up.
Inuyasha slices the flying tadpole into two with a transformed Tetsusaiga, which dissipates into thin air. The Sacred Jewel fragment falls out and Inuyasha catches it. Inuyasha sheathes Tetsusaiga.
"Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" Nobunaga calls out as he tumbles towards Inuyasha and holds his hand.
"Huh?" Inuyasha asks unconcerned.
"Well done! The lord is alive! You waited until the toad was driven out! Good work!" Nobunaga praised while he laughs joyously.
The real lord lies flat faced on the floor.
"No, I..." Inuyasha try's to explain.
"Just let him believe that." Kimiko says gently but Inuyasha could tell she was annoyed at the situation.
"Nobunaga..." Tsuyu calls out.
"Princess Tsuyu!" Nobunaga stutters out.
"Nobunaga!" Tsuyu calls again as she walks forward.
"Princess Tsuyu!" Nobunaga shouts happily with outstretched arms.
Princess Tsuyu hugs the real Lord tightly instead, who just stood up.
"Thank you for protecting my lord husband!" Tsuyu thanked grateful.
"Princess Tsuyu!" The Lord replied.
Nobunaga falls on the floor.
"My lord, you are your old self once more." Tsuyu says happy.
The face of the real Lord is seen at last. He has a tiny nose, a tiny mouth and two dots for eyes.
"Forgive me for all that has happened." The Lord requests.
Nobunaga's legs twitches.
"He seems like a very kind lord." Kimiko remarks.
"Hah!" Inuyasha scoffs.
...
Under A Tree Outside The Castile Grounds
Kimiko and Inuyasha sit on a picnic mat. Nobunaga sits further away, back facing them. Hiyoshimaru sits on his head.
"The toad demon's spell was broken and all the women have been saved. I'm so glad! Umm... Please cheer up, Nobunaga." Kimiko tried cheering up Nobunaga.
"I knew it... He IS a first class fool! He was almost killed, yet he saved the life of his bitter rival in love!" Inuyasha says.
"That's true... I am the world's biggest fool." Nobunaga grimaces as he answers and bows his head and sighs.
"Oh well... But thanks to you, many were saved. Why not keep it at that?" Inuyasha consoles.
"Okay! I'm feeling quite chipper now! I'm off!" Nobunaga says as he looks at Inuyasha and smiles.
He gets up and walks off.
"Off to where?" Kimiko questions.
"Nobunaga, that's..." Inuyasha tried to warn.
Nobunaga walks and falls off a ledge.
"The ledge!" Inuyasha finished the warning.
"He really is a fool." Kimiko tells Inuyasha making both of them laugh.
