Dayime
Shippo and Kimiko kneel by a spring.
"It tastes great." Kimiko says excited scooping up and drinking the water.
"Kimiko, are you all right now?" Shippo asks worried.
"Thank you for worrying about me, Shippo. It seems my soul went flying out and back into my body but I seem to be perfectly fine." Kimiko reassured with a smile.
Shippo and Kimiko continue drinking more water.
"The only thing that's changed is that after his run in with Kikyo." Kimiko thinks becoming worried and looks over her shoulder at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha spends more time staring into the distance.
Inuyasha stands a distance away, looking at the sky.
"I don't know anymore... I gather up all the fragments and become a full-fledged demon... then what? If I become a demon, will I become stronger inside?" Inuyasha thinks as a image of Kikyo appears across the sky. "Can I forget Kikyo? Will my heart not be swayed by anyone else?"
Kimiko walks up behind Inuyasha, holding Shippo in her arms.
"Kimiko, there's something funny about Inuyasha." Shippo says.
"I think you're right." Kimiko softly replied.
"Take that, you!" Shippo announced suddenly as he jumped up and thumps Inuyasha on the head but then hides in Kimiko's arms.
"Ow..." Inuyasha grumbled out and grabs Shippo by the tail. "What was that for?"
"Quit moping! Have you given up on gathering the Sacred Jewel fragments?" Shippo demands.
"Zip it, will you! Even I sometimes have things to think about." Inuyasha retorts back mad and frustrated.
"That's really funny." Shippo mocks.
"What's that?!" Inuyasha growls out raising his fist and starts chasing Shippo in a circle around Kimiko. "Wait, you little pip squeak!"
"I'm not that dumb!" Shippo told him still running.
"Why you...!" Inuyasha says annoyed.
"Such sorrow from the Sacred Jewel. Kikyo claims that Inuyasha betrayed her. Inuyasha claims that she betrayed him. Their stories don't match. Will gathering the fragments lead to the solution of this puzzle?" Kimiko thinks pondering hopefully.
...
A monk stands in the middle of a forked path. He throws his staff on the ground, which points to the right path.
"To the right." The Monk announced.
Two merchants walk past him.
"I hear there's a young woman working at the rest house up ahead. They say she's lovely, with fair skin and large eyes." The First Merchant said.
"I'm feeling a bit hungry. Shall we stop in?" The Second Merchant asked the first.
"Sure." The First Merchant replied and walks on the left path with merchant one.
"To the left." The Monk decided pushing the staff to the left with his feet.
...
The Monk is now sitting at the rest house with the merchants.
"It's true she has fair skin and large eyes, but..." The Monk complained thinking with his arms folded and eyebrows twitching.
A fat woman with fair skin and large eyes walk out of the rest house.
"Here you go." The Woman said holding a plate of food.
The Monk bows and takes the plate. The fat woman goes into the rest house.
"Should've gone right." The Monk thinks eating.
"I hear the daughter of the lord hereabouts has been possessed and has taken to her bed." The Second Merchant tells the first.
"My, that is a terrible thing." The First Merchant comments.
The Monk overhears the conversation.
...
At A Mansion
"Are you sure this one's a priest of high virtue?" The Lord's voice is heard.
"Yes. So he claims." A Servant's voice is also heard.
...
Interior Of A Mansion - A Room Of Treasures
The Monk sits with the lord of the mansion.
"Monk, if you can't drive away the demon, I'll not offer you a bowl of gruel, understand?" The Lord informs the monk.
"My, to live in such opulence in so turbulent a time. Your subjects must surely resent it." The Monk compliments looking at the treasure.
"Impudence!" The Lord shouts outraged.
...
The Monk is walking into a room with the Lord. A big gold statue of Buddha sits in a corner of the room. A young woman lies on a straw mat, back facing the screen.
"Princess, a monk has come to see you." The Lord tells the princess.
"Pardon me. Let me see your face." The Monk requests and kneels and looks at the princess. "My!" He becomes sympathetic. "Her face is so swollen!"
"It was always so! Are you really a monk?" The Lord questions mad.
"That statue of Buddha..." The Monk said noticing the statue.
"I received it from some impoverished nobleman. It's a blessed statue." The Lord explained.
The Monk stands and scrutinizes the statue. Two feelers are seen on the Buddha's face.
"All right. Leave the princess here, and take everyone outside your gate." The Monk orders.
"What?" The Lord questions confused.
"And listen carefully. No matter what you hear, you are not to look in." The Monk continued to order.
"Uh-hmm..." The Lord says unsure but then nods.
"I will now begin the exorcism." The Monk said.
The Lord leaves the room.
"Now..." The Monk says and turns to the statue. "Leave peacefully and I will show you mercy."
The Monk points his staff at the statue. It shakes violently. The mouth of the Buddha suddenly turns into a menacing grin.
"I don't suppose you'll give in so easily." The Monk scoffs.
A weasel appears from the statue and flies at the monk.
"Huh! So you're a demon weasel!" The Monk said.
The demon weasel attacks the monk, who dodges. A pink glow appears its the forehead.
"Huh? That light... A fragment of the Sacred Jewel?" The Monk inquires.
The demon weasel attacks the Monk, who dodges. It crashes into the wall instead. The Monk leaps and hits it on the head with his staff. The demon weasel growls.
...
Exterior Of Building
The Lord and his servants look on.
"What is it? That sounds like some beast..." The Lord questions.
"What's going on in there?" The First Servant asks confused.
"Shall we take a look, my lord?" The Second Servant inquiries.
"No, wait... He said not to look until he gave the word. I don't want to catch any flak from the exorcism." The Lord reminds.
The building shakes violently. Sounds of rummaging are heard.
"But, my lord...it sounds like someone's searching the mansion." The Second Servant protests.
"Just hold on awhile..." The Lord requested.
...
A While Later - Sunset
The Lord is in the princess's room. The princess is seated behind the lord, who picks up a weasel.
"So you say this tiny weasel turned into a demon and had a hold on you?" The Lord repeats.
"Yes." The Princess answers.
"And what of the monk?" The Lord inquired.
"He gave me no name, and left as cool as you please." The Princess answers holding her face and blushing.
"Oh, my lord! It's a disaster!" A Servant exclaimed coming in the room.
...
The Lord is staring at an empty treasure room.
"Oh...!" The Lord says shocked.
"Everything worth anything has been taken. And three horses, too." The Servant said.
"I've been had..." The Lord replied and falls to the ground.
...
The Monk is riding on a carriage full of treasures. Three horses are pulling the carriage.
"Now, where can I sell these off?" The Monk muses to himself.
...
Nighttime
The Monk baths in a hot spring with two snow monkeys.
"Oh, well... After all the trouble transporting everything, they fetched such a small price." The Monk says and then he holds up the Sacred Jewel fragment from the weasel. "I guess this Jewel fragment was the only item worth anything."
"A hot spring bath! How wonderful!" Kimiko's voice is heard in the background excited.
The Monk peeps behind a boulder to the other side of the spring. A naked Kimiko enters the spring.
"My, it feels glorious." Kimiko sighs happily.
"A girl... Huh?" The Monk thinks but then notices the fragment on Kimiko's neck. "That's a fragment of the Sacred Jewel... and it's huge." He moves forward...
"Don't you dare peek!" Kimiko yells out.
"Huh?!" The Monk thinks surprised she caught him already hiding behind the boulder.
Inuyasha is sitting with his back facing Kimiko on the other side of the hot spring. Shippo looks at Kimiko.
"Don't worry. There's nothing there that interests me." Inuyasha replied.
"My!" Kimiko says feeling slightly insulted and turns around. Kimiko then began thinking. "How rude! But also sweet."
Shippo starts undressing himself.
"Huh? Shippo, what are you doing?" Inuyasha asks him.
"I'm going in too." Shippo replied like it was the most obvious answer in the world.
"Wait a minute!" Inuyasha demands grabbing Shippo's tail.
"Inuyasha, you come too!" Shippo invites.
"Wha...?" Inuyasha stammers out surprised.
"I've always wondered... Why don't you and Kimiko ever bathe together? It's more fun bathing together!" Shippo asked.
"Listen..." Inuyasha said exasperated.
"When my mom and dad were alive, we always bathed together." Shippo continued to explain.
"You're a kid, so you probably don't understand..." Inuyasha replied.
"Be honest. How far have you gone with Kimiko?" Shippo stares at Inuyasha whispering.
Inuyasha gasps nervously and incredulously.
"When I ask things like that, grown ups get tongue tied. I wonder why?" Shippo ponders curious folding his arms.
"You wonder why?! I almost said something I shouldn't!" Inuyasha exclaimed relaxing and pinches Shippo's cheeks angrily.
"Yikes! I won't ask again!" Shippo says.
...
"So, I'm not a beauty like Kikyo..." Kimiko thinks hurt and sinks herself into the water.
Kimiko turns around and notices something and screams. Inuyasha stops bullying Shippo and runs to the spring. Shippo follows.
"What's wrong?" Inuyasha demands jumping into the water worried.
Kimiko gasps as she sees Inuyasha . Kimiko's head is only visible while Inuyasha has his back turned embarrassed. Several snow monkeys sit behind Kimiko.
"I'm fine. Get out of here!" Kimiko replies embarrassed.
Inuyasha falls into the water loosing his balance from embarrassment and slippery rocks.
"Shoo! Shoo!" Kimiko shoo's turning to the monkeys.
"Monkeys!" Shippo says excited.
...
The Monk is putting on his clothes behind a tree.
"She's with a guy... Too bad. I hate violence." The Monk comments resigned.
...
In A Forest
The Monk thumps a raccoon on the head with his staff.
"No, please... Miroku..." the Raccoon pleads holding his head.
"I said I'd compensate you, didn't I?" Miroku reminded knocking the Raccoon's head.
"Yes..." The Raccoon replied unwillingly.
...
Daytime
Kimiko pushes her bicycle along a mountain path. Shippo sits in the basket, while Inuyasha sulks behind.
"How long do you intend to stay mad? You saw me naked, so we're even." Kimiko scolded.
"I didn't." Inuyasha retorts embarrassed blushing and looks away.
"He did, didn't he?" Kimiko questions Shippo.
"I can't really say..." Shippo answers not wanting to get on either of their bad sides.
...
Up On The Cliff
Miroku and the Raccoon are overlooking them.
"I have to attack the guy, right?" The Raccoon nervously asks.
"Yeah. Meanwhile, I'll take the girl." Miroku replied.
"But, Miroku...why go so much trouble? If you use your right hand, it'll be over in seconds." The Raccoon inquiries.
"Fool. You know better than that." Miroku scolded and holds up his right hand. "If I use this hand, everyone will die."
"That's true..." The Raccoon conceded and became worried. "Well, if anything should happen, please save me." He takes out a leaf and puts it on his head
"Don't worry." Miroku said as he pats the Raccoon on the shoulder.
"Change!" The Raccoon shouts as he jumps of the cliff.
The Raccoon transforms into a huge boulder and rolls ominously towards Inuyasha's gang. They look up to the rumbling noises.
"Huh?" Kimiko and Inuyasha question confused.
"I've come for you..." The Raccoon says fiercely.
The Raccoon boulder crashes into Inuyasha's gang. Kimiko falls forward, while Shippo falls down the cliff. The Raccoon boulder continues crushing on Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha!" Kimiko calls out worried running to the cliff edge.
Miroku appears behind Kimiko on her bicycle. He pulls her onto his lap and rides on.
"Who are you?" Kimiko demands.
"You have nothing to fear. I am a Buddhist Monk...no one suspicious. When I searched for the Sacred Jewel fragment, you were attached to it, you see." Miroku explained with a smile.
"You've got that backwards, mister." Kimiko said.
...
Inuyasha is pushing the Raccoon boulder. He notices Miroku riding away with Kimiko.
"Kimiko! What's going on? That guy...!" Inuyasha says and then pushes the Raccoon aside, who crashes onto the ground. "Get out of my way!" Inuyasha unsheathes Tetsusaiga. "Out of my way I say!"
The Raccoon boulder is frightened and transforms back to normal.
"H-he's going to kill me!" The Raccoon cowers.
"Tsk..." Miroku scoffs and stops. He removes a chain of beads around his right hand. "What a vicious fiend!"
"What's the matter with you?" Inuyasha questions.
A strong gust of wind suddenly blows. Tetsusaiga is sucked out of Inuyasha's hand and strikes a rock. Inuyasha is sucked upwards and crashes onto a rock wall.
"Inuyasha!" Kimiko called out worried and pushes Miroku. "Let me go!" Kimiko runs off.
"Certainly." Miroku said putting the beads back on his right hand. He holds up Kimiko's chain of Sacred Jewel and say to himself. "All I need is this..."
Miroku cycles away.
"Inuyasha, are you all right?" Kimiko asks concerned.
...
A Short While Later
Inuyasha sits on the path.
"Damn... Who was that guy, anyway?" Inuyasha curses frustrated.
"He said he was a Buddhist Monk, but..." Kimiko informed but starts thinking. "What was it he did with his right hand?"
"I felt like I was being pulled by a strong wind. What did he do from way up there?" Inuyasha thinks angrily.
"Oh no!" Kimiko yells gasping.
"Huh?" Inuyasha said.
"He stole my bike! The nerve!" Kimiko said becoming mad.
"Forget the bike! You were being kidnapped! I look away for one second, and..." Inuyasha demands annoyed he got worried for nothing and folds arms.
"Inuyasha... I'm sorry." Kimiko apologized.
"It wasn't you I was worried about. It was your Sacred Jewel fragment..." Inuyasha lies as he blushed and looks away defensively embarrassed.
"Well... It seems he stole my Jewel fragment, too." Kimiko sheepishly admits as she claps her hands and looks at Inuyasha with guilty eyes knowing the Monk only got the jewel fragments because she was distracted with Inuyasha's safety.
"What?!" Inuyasha demanded of Kimiko trying not to glare at her since the reason she was distracted was because she was worried about him.
...
In A Village
The villagers look on excitedly as Inuyasha leaps with Kimiko and Shippo on his back.
"Damn that guy! He can't have gone very far. I'll find him wherever he is." Inuyasha promised angrily.
Inuyasha is now on all fours, sniffing the ground. The villagers gape at them.
"Inuyasha, what's taking you so long?" Kimiko questions.
"Leave me alone. The smells are all mixed up, so I can't tell!" Inuyasha explained becoming frustrated.
"People are gathering around!" Kimiko complained embarrassed.
"They're really suspicious of us." Shippo added.
"Where'd that bugger go?" Inuyasha questions ignoring Kimiko and Shippo's complaining.
"A demon here in our village?" The First Villager questions.
"See?!" Kimiko states wanting Inuyasha to hurry up before they got into trouble.
"That guy and kid aside, look at that girl." The First Villager said.
"Is she a demon?" A Second Villager inquires.
"Who, me?" Kimiko said surprised.
Inuyasha continues sniffing the ground.
"He's probably not here." Kimiko commented wanting to leave.
"No doubt about it. He's here." Inuyasha replied shooting up flings over a door, peer into a barrel and goes back to sniffing the ground.
"Why would a robber hang around..." Kimiko ponders before she gasps and points saying. "Oh." Kimiko had found her bicycle parked outside one of the huts.
...
Inside The Hut
Several ugly geishas are singing and playing musical instruments. More geishas surround and fawn over Miroku.
"Yippee-aii-ayy!" The First Geisha sings off tune.
"Phew... "We have nothing but beauties," he said? I'd have been better off drinking with the raccoon." Miroku whined drinking disappointed.
All of a sudden Inuyasha bursts into the room with Shippo and Kimiko and shouts. "You!"
"You bike and jewel thief!" Kimiko said angry.
"Oh, it's you!" Miroku said as he stands and rushes to Kimiko, holding her hand happily. "You're just what I need. You're a sight for sore eyes!"
"I'll take care of you!" Inuyasha says annoyed and irritated as he flexes his claws.
Inuyasha attacks Miroku.
Miroku dodges and said. "Hold it." He runs backwards. "Such violence."
"What do you mean?! Just who was it that used a raccoon to attack us?! I guess you're not ready to hand over the Jewel fragment." Inuyasha reminds annoyed.
"This isn't something a demon should have." Miroku said smiling as he holds up Kimiko's necklace of Sacred Jewel.
"Don't get funny!" Inuyasha shouts sprinting towards Miroku.
Miroku leaps out of the balcony and runs off.
"Hey!" Inuyasha cried out still chasing him.
Miroku runs in the village with Inuyasha still chases him.
"Hold it!" Inuyasha called out.
"I will not fight a senseless battle." Miroku tells Inuyasha.
"Is that right? Then you'll die!" Inuyasha states as he unsheathes Tetsusaiga and leaps.
Miroku spins around and blocks Inuyasha's attack.
"He stopped the Tetsusaiga! This guy's no ordinary mortal." Inuyasha thinks somewhat impressed.
"Do you insist on being punished?" Miroku asked.
"Who the hell are you?" Inuyasha demands leaping backwards and lands.
"My name is Miroku. I use my spiritual powers to save people." Miroku introduced himself.
The villagers gather around Miroku and Inuyasha.
"What's going on?" The First Villager asked.
"A demon?" The Second Villager questioned.
"He's slaying demons?" The Third Villager inquires.
"Can he do it alone?" The Fourth Villager asks.
"Hey! A monk is slaying demons!" The Fifth Villager shouted out.
Kimiko and Shippo run into the scene.
"You use your powers to save people? Why, you're nothing but a robber. Give us back that Sacred Jewel fragment. We went to a lot of trouble to gather all those fragments!" Inuyasha demands mad.
"I understand... " Miroku replied and holds up the Sacred Jewel but started to say. "However, it would be best for you to let me keep this, Inuyasha..."
"So, you know who I am?" Inuyasha asks.
"Not at all." Miroku says making Inuyasha drop before continuing to say. "Your beautiful companion called you by that name."
"My, he doesn't seem to be such a bad person." Kimiko said blushing from embarrassment.
"Wake up, Kimiko! He stole your Jewel!" Shippo scolded pinching Kimiko's cheek.
"You won't be flapping your lip when I get done with you." Inuyasha scoffed unimpressed and starts sprinting and swings Tetsusaiga at Miroku.
"You're very strong." Miroku complimented blocking all of Inuyasha's attacks easily while running backwards.
"Damn! He predicts my every move." Inuyasha curses thinking.
As Miroku runs backwards, he trips over a pile of logs and fall backwards. Inuyasha knocks off his staff. Miroku gasps and sits up.
"Hand that Sacred Jewel fragment over... if you want to live." Inuyasha threatened pointing Tetsusaiga in Miroku's face.
Miroku somersaults backwards and sprints away.
"Oh?! Trying to run again?" Inuyasha's asked.
"People! Get as far away as possible, for your safety!" Miroku shouted his warning.
The villagers, Shippo and Kimiko gape in confusion.
...
Miroku and Inuyasha running to the outskirts of the village. Miroku stops and turns around.
"Give up! You lost." Inuyasha said stopping.
Miroku smirks and holds up his right hand.
"His right hand!" Inuyasha thinks nervously.
"Sorry, but I hate losing." Miroku simply says and removes the beads around his right hand saying. "Spiritual power!"
A black hole on his palm is revealed and starts sucking in the air and ground.
"Wha...!" Inuyasha said surprised struggling to hold on.
Inuyasha thrusts Tetsusaiga into the ground to gain a foothold. Miroku continues sucking in chickens and horses.
"It's like that time on the cliff... What is this wind? A Wind Tunnel in his right hand!" Inuyasha theorized.
"How long can you hold out?" Miroku questions.
Tetsusaiga slowly shifts and Inuyasha struggles to keep his footing.
...
In The Village
The villagers are panicking. Kimiko and Shippo peer from behind a wall.
"Get away! You'll get sucked to your death!" A Sixth Villager calls out a warning.
"It's like a black hole! This isn't about spiritual power!" Kimiko said becoming angry.
"Kimiko! We'd better run, too." Shippo says.
"I've got to stop him." Kimiko replied making Shippo gasp. "That Miroku..."
...
Flashback Of Earlier On, When Miroku Was Running
"People! Get as far away as possible..." Miroku shouted his warning.
...
Present
"He's trying not to suck in humans." Kimiko thinks coming up with a very dangerous plan.
"D-damn!" Inuyasha curses.
"Surrender. If you get sucked in, you'll never get out." Miroku tells Inuyasha.
"Forget it!" Inuyasha denied as he gets sucked towards Miroku and starts angrily saying. "I'll chop that right arm off!"
"It's no use! It'll suck you in, sword and all." Miroku retorts.
Miroku gasps as he notices Kimiko flying towards him.
"Kimiko!" Inuyasha shouts out panicked.
Miroku puts on the beads over his Wind Tunnel immediately. Kimiko crashes into him from above and they fall backwards.
"Kimiko!" Inuyasha shouts out worried.
Kimiko gets up from Miroku's body.
"Ow..." Kimiko complained clutching her head but then notices the beads on Miroku's right hand, thinking. "Those prayer beads... They seal off his right hand. He controls himself. He's not an evil person."
Miroku is unconscious.
"Kimiko... Did you willingly rush in." Inuyasha scolded rushing to her.
"Well, this Miroku... He could have killed us long ago using his right hand. I'm sure he'll be reasonable if we talk to him." Kimiko explained.
Miroku's eyebrows twitches and he gropes Kimiko's butt with his right hand. Kimiko shrieks and leaps off Miroku. Inuyasha rushes forward and holds Kimiko protectively. Inuyasha glares at Miroku angrily while Kimiko clutches onto Inuyasha's shirt mortified.
"Kill him after all!" Kimiko said furious.
"You good for nothing monk!" Inuyasha said angry on Kimiko's behalf.
"Settle down. We'll talk." Miroku said.
...
Sunset
Shippo sits in a tree, eating a fruit. Kimiko, Miroku and Inuyasha sit on the grass near the tree.
"I'm gathering the fragments of the Sacred Jewel in order to find a certain demon, and eliminate him. That demon's name is Naraku." Miroku explains.
"Naraku...?" Kimiko questioned.
"This Wind Tunnel in my right hand was created by a curse placed by Naraku." Miroku answers.
"What sort of demon is Naraku?" Kimiko inquires.
"He is malicious, and devours people. That's all I know." Miroku says.
"What do you mean?" Kimiko asks.
"Well..." Miroku said looking up before trailing off.
...
Flashback
A monk walks in a city. Various people are shown.
"It was my grandfather who battled Naraku in his youth. That was about 50 years ago. Their battles lasted several years. Whenever they met, Naraku appeared as a different person." Miroku's voice is heard explaining.
...
Present
"As a different person?" Kimiko asked confused.
"In their final battle, he took the form of a beautiful woman." Miroku explained.
...
Flashback
An image of a beautiful woman appears.
My grandfather had great spiritual power, but unfortunately..." Miroku's voice is heard.
...
Present
"Bet he was a lecher." Kimiko cuts off guessing.
"That's a good guess." Miroku comments.
...
Flashback
Miroku's grandfather fought the beautiful woman in a room. He throws a handful of sutras at her. The woman throws blades at him. He falls backwards and a hole appears in his right palm. He yells in pain.
"Naraku pierced my grandfather's right hand with the seals and escaped himself." Miroku's voice says.
"That Wind Tunnel that I have cursed you with, shall be passed on to your progeny, so long as I live. Each generation shall be cursed, until no one remains." Naraku explained.
...
Present
"This Wind Tunnel gets bigger by the year, and stronger. If I don't kill Naraku, I'll probably get sucked in myself." Miroku said looking at his right hand.
"Does that mean you'll die?" Kimiko asked.
"Yes. And that's all right...if that's my fate. But I can't let Naraku go unchecked. The Sacred Jewel that vanished 50 years ago has appeared today in fragments. Naraku is sure to gather the fragments in order to strengthen his powers. It is said that Naraku nearly got the Jewel 50 years ago. After killing the priestess protecting it." Miroku explained.
"You say he killed the priestess?" Inuyasha gasped out standing up.
"Yes." Miroku replied.
"He's the one who took my form and wounded Kikyo. There's no doubt about it." Inuyasha thinks before grabs Miroku and says. "Miroku! You say Naraku takes different forms? What does he look like now?"
"If I knew that, I'd have found him long ago, and slain him." Miroku said.
...
Flashback
Naraku is posing as Inuyasha and attacking Kikyo.
"He laid a trap for Kikyo and me, and made us hate each other. The one who killed Kikyo is still alive and is after the Sacred Jewel." Inuyasha voice is heard.
...
Present
"I will find Kikyo's killer and avenge her death!" Inuyasha thinks clenching his fists angrily.
"If we keep looking for these fragments, we're sure to run into Naraku, right?" Kimiko said holding up the necklace of the Scared Jewel on her neck.
"How'd you get that...?" Miroku starts asking before trailing off.
"Let's gather the fragments together." Kimiko said.
"Huh?" Miroku asked confused.
"Well, I'm sure Inuyasha's not about to give this up." Kimiko comments.
"Of course, not!" Inuyasha replied.
"That's why." Kimiko simply says.
"I'm not very good at dealing with people..." Miroku said looking away.
"But, if you don't kill Naraku soon, you'll die, won't you?" Kimiko reminds worried.
"Kimiko... Are you concerned about me?" Miroku asked holding Kimiko's hands.
"Sort of..." Kimiko answers.
"Then, I have a request. Will you do me the favor of bearing my child?" Miroku requested.
Kimiko grimaces in confusion.
"What...?!" Inuyasha demanded glaring at Miroku his face twitching.
"What's this all about?" Kimiko asks.
"If I should fail to destroy Naraku, and die, I need a child to carry on my family's mission." Miroku explained as he grabs Kimiko into his arms and sighs
"Quit it, will you? You lecherous priest!" Inuyasha said shoving Miroku away.
"I'm a Monk." Miroku says.
"If you lay a hand on Kimiko again..." Inuyasha starts to threaten.
"Inuyasha..." Kimiko said smiling happy.
"Well, pardon me, I thought you were just a companion... You're in love with Kimiko...?" Miroku apologized and asked Inuyasha.
"Huh...?" Inuyasha asks taken aback.
"Please forgive me." Miroku said.
"Damn it! She's just a Jewel detector!" Inuyasha shouted lying since he was embarrassed blushing and becoming defensive.
"Jewel detector?!" Kimiko shouts stepping back and elbows Inuyasha. "How dare you!" She folds her arms annoyed before considering. "Well, I guess you do have someone you love."
"Huh?" Miroku and Inuyasha asked confused.
"What shall I do? Miroku is nicer..." Kimiko teased knowing she wouldn't leave Inuyasha but wanting some payback for the Jewel detector comment.
"Why, are you going to betray me?!" Inuyasha demands a little worried.
"You must be nicer to the womenfolk." Miroku tells Inuyasha.
"Shut up!" Inuyasha scoffed.
"I'm only a Jewel detector..." Kimiko reminded Inuyasha.
"Weren't they having a serious discussion?" Shippo questions confused and shakes his head saying. "I don't understand grown ups."
"You could learn from Miroku." Kimiko tells Inuyasha teasingly.
"Gentle." Miroku repeats.
"Yes. Be more gentle." Kimiko said.
"Yes, be gentle..." Miroku says.
"Hey, don't touch me there!" Kimiko's shrieks running behind Inuyasha for protection.
.
"Did you touch her again?!" Inuyasha demands planning on keeping Kimiko far away from the Miroku's lecherous hands far away from Kimiko.
