"SIS!"
"Hmmmm...." Kagome murmured in her sleep.
"Kagome! Wake up!"
Kagome turned over and saw her brother looking at her,
"What is it, Souta?"
"Your friends are here to see you."
"Huh?"
Kagome got up and headed downstairs. Walking into the living room, she was greeted by her friends,
"Hey Kagome, are you feeling better?" asked Eri.
"Kagome, why are you in your uniform?" asked Ayumi.
"Yea, we've been on break now for two weeks." said Yuka.
"Huh? Oh, I ... I forgot it was break ... I guess." replied Kagome.
"Well, duh, besides, you don't need to wear that uniform any more. You managed to make it into high school!" said Yuka.
Kagome laughed, "Yea, amazing isn't it?"
"It sure is, considering all the school you've missed." said Eri.
"So, fess up, how's it going?" asked Ayumi.
"How's what going?" Kagome asked back.
"Well, of course, your bad boy ... how's it going with him? Is he here?" asked Eri.
"No. Not right now. And everything's going fine." she replied with a smile.
"Is he still two-timing you, Kagome?" asked Eri.
Kagome hung her head, "No. Not anymore. His ... his first girlfriend passed away, I'm afraid."
The three teens chorused, "What? What happened?"
"She ... she was murdered." Kagome said, thinking quickly, 'Well, it is the truth. Naraku did kill her.' she thought.
"So he's with you now?" asked Ayumi.
"Yes. I comforted him after her death and now I guess you can say we're a couple!" Kagome smiled, 'And alot more than that!' she thought.
"Wow. I hope everything works out ok, Kagome." said Yuka.
"I'm sure it will." said Kagome.
"So, you wanna go to WacDnald's for lunch tomorrow? We can do some catching up." offered Ayumi.
"Sorry guys. But, I have a lot of things to do. I'll have to take a raincheck."
"Souta. I'm home." came a voice from the front door.
"Mama!" Kagome called out.
"Oh, hello dear. I'm glad to see you home" her mother said, then stopped when she saw Kagome's friends, "Uhh, how was your doctor's visit?"
Kagome smiled, "Fine. Just fine.", 'Thanks, mom, for realizing who was here.'
As her mother walked into the kitchen, Kagome excused herself,
"Uhh, guys, can we do this another day. I really need to talk to my mom."
"About your doctor's appointment?" asked Ayumi, "I hope everything is ok."
"It is, but I need some time alone with my mom."
The girls got up and Kagome showed them to the door,
"Thanks guys, for understanding. I'll talk with you later." said a grateful Kagome.
"Sure, no problem." said Eri.
"Yup! That's what friends are for." agreed Ayumi.
Kagome waved until her friends disappeared, then closed the shouji and walked into the kitchen.
"Mom, I have a slight problem and I'm wondering if you can help me with it."
"What is it, dear?"
Kagome went on to explain about Sango and the arrow. As she finished her story, her mother sat down in a chair and thought for a moment. Then snapped her fingers,
"I know just the person to talk to. Let me give them a call."
Kagome smiled and relaxed as her mother left to kitchen to make the call. A short while later, she returned,
"Tomorrow morning we head to Tokyo University. We will meet with Mister Yamada. He is the foremost authority in Tokyo on poisons." her mother replied, happily.
"Great, mom. How do you know this guy?"
"Easy. He was my chemistry professor in university. Now go up and rest while I make dinner."
Kagome hugged her mother, "Thanks mom!"

Inu yasha walked slowly out of the hut. Myouga had done what he could for Sango and he felt it best to leave Miroku alone with Sango and his thoughts. Kaede had managed to get Shippou to go play with other village kids while she busied herself walking and chatting with the drunken monk, Mushin. Hachi, Inuyasha noticed, had made himself scarce.
"Inuyasha!" Miroku called.
Inuyasha turned, "Miroku." he responded.
"Inuyasha, may I ask a favor of you?"
"I guess. What is it?"
"As soon as Lady Kagome returnes from her era with an antidote, could we journey to Naraku's final resting place? I want to see if he has been revived ... I need to know if he is the cause ..."
Miroku had grabbed his right wrist again and stared at it. Inuyasha felt a painful stab in his heart for his friend ... he'd offer to go in his stead ... but he knew,
"You want to make sure his powers are still sealed up with one of your sutras?"
"Yes."
"As soon as Kagome returns and Sango gets her antidote, we'll go."
MIroku looked up at his friend, "Thank you, Inuyasha."
Their eyes met and the two stared at each other for a moment. Miroku commented,
"Inuyasha, your eyes seem so serene and peaceful. I have only seen that in your eyes one time before. Tell me, what has happened to you that has given you that look of enlightenment?"
Inuyasha blinked. 'Enlightenment?' he thought, 'Could it be because ...'
"Nothing that I know of." he lied.
And with that, Inuyasha turned and hopped to Go-shinboku. Reaching the sacred tree, he retreated to the branch he favored high in the leaves and stretched out.

Somewhere far away ...
Rin swung her feet in the water as Ah-Un drank his fill from the stream. Kohaku sat cross-legged on the grass, while Jaken paced frantically,
"Oh, Lord Sesshoumaru, where have you gone without your faithful servant?" he muttered in a worried tone.
Further away ...
The proud daiyoukai walked purposefully through the forest. He normally had no real destination, going only where he felt he needed or wanted to go. But, today, he had a destination and it was, unfortunately, urgent,
'That damn Inuyasha coming around and asking questions like that. And his scent ... his scent had changed. The pure scent of demon blood like I or my father ... and it was laced with lust. So, little brother, you are experiencing it too ... even though you are just a half-breed. I, Sesshoumaru, find it difficult to control these urges. You, little brother, with your weak human side, must be going insane. Should you take your demon lust out on that little mortal girl who travels with you ... whom you seem to love ... HMPH! ... mortals do not understand the lust of a demon ... the need to satisfy that lust ... she will view it as no more than a mere rape and then you, little brother, will be alone again.'
Sesshoumaru stopped and looked ahead of him. The clearing was filled with hundreds of dogs. A beautiful woman approached him,
"Sesshoumaru, so nice of you to join us."
"Mother."
"We have plenty of females who are here for their first times. Landing you would be a boon for them."
"HMPH!"
Sesshoumaru walked further into the inu youkai mating grounds. He spotted a fair, young female inu surrounded by two strong males. He set his sights on her and walked over to her. When the two males vying for her saw him approach, they turned and growled. Sesshoumaru transformed into his dog form and attacked, easily overpowering the two weaker opponents. As the two losers limped away, Sesshoumaru proudly went over to claim his prize and satiate his lust..

"Master!"
Inuyasha awoke to Myouga's voice,
"What is it, Myouga?" he asked, sleepily.
"Master, you seemed to have changed. When I saw you before you were questioning me about your body. How are you fairing?"
"Fine, Myouga."
"Hmmm ... master the taste of your blood has changed ... have you ... mated?"
Inuyasha just stared into space. This was all Myouga needed.
"Master, you have mated!"
"Myouga, it's no big deal." Inuyasha said to the flea, though he knew differently.
"But, master ..." the flea insisted.
Inuyasha picked Myouga up and flung him far away, "I want to be alone!"
