“ Are you sure its okay for him to carry that, Koki?” Shippo asks.

“ Its fine. He won’t steal it from me.” Koki says.

“ I know you trust him, Koki, but how can you be for sure?” The fox demon asks.

“ Who do you think guards it while Koki’s sleeping.” Miroku answers, Shippo nods.

“ Yeah and I always give it back, runt!” InuKame says in his defense, while Koki tans himself under the morning sun..“ Koki...do you have to do that in front of that lech?!” The half demon asks annoyed.

Miroku keeps staring at Koki’s well toned upper body when he thinks InuKame’s not watching. The monk won’t do much more than stare though, since Koki only has eyes for their half-demon friend. Its just a shame that Koki can’t have InuKame’s complete focus, not with Ren walking this realm and not with InuKame still being in love with him.

“ Yes, I do. But not to make you irritated...I can’t help it if Miroku looks, besides he’s not the only one that watches me...now is he?” Koki whispers in InuKame’s ear, making him blush before putting his shirt back on.

InuKame blushes at Koki’s teasing question, its a good thing Koki didn’t expect him to answer a question they both know the answer to anyway. The more InuKame watches how Koki’s muscles move fluidly under his skin, the more he can’t take his eyes off the bulge in Koki’s jeans...the more he wants to feel from him what Ren promised him years ago.

He watches as Koki heads into the surrounding trees for a bit of shade since the sun started to get hotter as the morning wore on, he decides to follow him.

“ Hey InuKame, I have to go back to my time period in a few days to check on my business.” Koki says, seeing InuKame sitting in the tree above his head.

“ Are you staying away for good?” InuKame asks, their fight from a week ago was still fresh in his mind.

“ Not if you don’t want me to, I won’t. Do you want me to stay and not come back?” Koki asks, he still remembers their fight and his encounter with Ren as well.

“ You can come back and to make sure you do...I’ll come to get you if I think you’ve been gone too long.” InuKame says jumping down from the tree, so he’s face to face with Koki.

“ Okay.” Koki smiles.

“ About that kiss...while I always wanted one from Ren, there was too much hate and anger behind it. It wasn’t....” the half demon was cut off by Koki’s lips on his.

Koki gently nips InuKame’s bottom lip asking for entrance, the half demon obliges and allows Koki’s tongue to slip between his lips. Koki tilts his head to the side and deepens the kiss, pouring all his emotions into it. InuKame moans softly, this was the kiss that Ren had promised him all those years ago and what he didn’t get from the dead man a week prior. InuKame’s hand runs up Koki’s back, his nails unconsciously digging into Koki’s flesh and pulls him closer...wanting more from the one who’s now kissing him and not Ren. Koki breaks the kiss and their chests are heaving slightly, he smiles at InuKame.

“ Just as with ‘him’, my kiss spoke no lies either. Now its your choice, as it always has been, if you still want to chase the shadows of what was or chase what can now be.” Koki says.

Koki leaves InuKame where they were standing and goes back to the river’s edge. He’s showing Shippo how to skip stones across the water’s surface when he sees something float their way.

“ Are those...heads?” Shippo asks.

“ Yeah but why are they size of peaches?” Koki asks.

“ That’s a good question, Master Koki, a very good question. It seems they came from somewhere up stream.” Miroku answers.

“ Well, what are you all standing around for? Do you want to check it out or not?” InuKame asks the other three, wanting to get this done before nightfall since its the New Moon and he changes into a human.

Miroku nods, while Shippo asks, “ Well...yeah. But what’s with you all of a sudden? You hate helping people unless there’s a shard or two involved.”

InuKame ignores Shippo’s question and tosses Koki’s back pack to him, with a slight smirk. Koki returns the smirk and slings the bag over his shoulders and the four head off up stream. Koki and InuKame are walking a little behind Miroku and Shippo, when InuKame tells Koki that he can shorten the use of his name, if he wants.

“ You can stop calling me InuKame, Koki. You can just shorten it to ‘Kame’.” InuKame thought that after a kiss like that, that maybe he should let Koki in his heart just a little...for right now. He can’t forget Ren nor what they once shared and he’s grateful that Koki’s not forcing him to do what they both know can’t be done.

“ Okay. Kame it is then. Oh and next time...watch your claws, will you? Those aren’t exactly human finger nails.” Koki says.

“ I’m sorry.” InuKame says just as Shippo’s shouting gets their attention.

InuKame and Koki catch up to the other two and sees what Shippo was shouting about. It was a tree, but instead of fruit...they were human heads.

“ Hello?”

“Can you hear?”

“ Th-they’re heads! Human heads!” Shippo recoils in fear.

“ They’re all female? That’s odd.” InuKame says.

“ Listen to their tales. Tell us please...Who are you? What’s happened?” Miroku asks the heads in the tree.

“ We were devoured, by the old woman of the mountain.” One of the heads starts.

“ Old...woman...?” InuKame asks.

“ Not a demon?” Koki asks, both him and InuKame were confused.

The head continues, “ We were all people who tired of this world , who left our homes and hearths. Because we had heard that this mountain was a paradise on earth, tended by an ancient master.”

“ We were only food, for the hermit called the “ Peach Lady”. Another head says.

“ What a bunch of fools! Being taken in by a story like that!” InuKame says with an annoyed snort.

“ K-Kame!” Koki says in shock at how unfeeling the half demon just was.

“ Don’t you think they’ve suffered enough?!” Miroku reprimands and bonks InuKame on the head with his staff.

“ Do forgive him. Is there anyway we can help you?” Koki asks to the head that told the story.

“ Its alright. Its too late for us...however there must be others who have not yet been devoured. If you can at least save them...” the head answers Koki.

They hear a noise coming down from the mountain above the tree, looking up they see something bouncing down towards their location.

“ Huh?! Something’s dropping from above...” InuKame says as the object lands at their feet, narrowly missing Koki’s head by inches. It would’ve had he not moved back when he heard the noise.

“ They’re human bones!” Shippo exclaims from his perch on the monk’s shoulder.

“ And still fresh..” Miroku finishes.

“ Kame, Miroku...look at the tree. Something’s emerging from the branch.” Koki says pointing.

“ Its the head of the owner of the bones..A head of enchanted fruit. The heart of the Peach Lady’s Elixir of youth, longevity and vitality...” the head explains.

“ Whatever you call her, she sounds like a demon to me!” InuKame shouts and heads up the mountain side alone.

“ Kame! Wait up” Koki shouts.

“ Its too dangerous to go at it alone!” Miroku calls.

“ There’s not much time, by the time I lug everyone of you up the hill one by one, the sun will have set!” InuKame calls back down, “ Just wait there!” he says before heading up.

Shippo jumps on Koki’s shoulder and asks, “ What’s the sunset have to do with anything?” whispering in Koki’s ear, “ Tonight’s the turning of the cycle.”

“ The turning of the cycle....” Koki mutters then it dawns on him what day it is. ‘ The new moon!! The night Inu-Kame’s demon powers disappear..and he becomes human!’

Meanwhile at the house on the top of the hill, the Peach Lady waits chomping on the fruits of her victims.

“ Ahhh...If I don’t eat a bite of fruit once in a while, those humans give me heartburn.” she sighs contentedly.

Inu-Kame comes bursting through her window catching her by surprise. She wasn’t expecting unintentional victims...err visitors.

“ My, my..aren’t you tough looking fellow. Handsome too, despite the ears.” She says smiling pleasantly.

“ So you’re the Peach Lady, huh? I’ve come to kill you.” Inu-Kame says as cracking his knuckles and extending his claws, noticing there was a bit of Koki’s blood on them. He’s definitely going to have to be more careful, Koki’s flesh isn’t has tough as his.

“ Kill me...but why?” she asks the half demon sweetly.

“ You look well fed, I see...it pays to pose as an ancient master and then devour your poor students, eh?! Say good-bye to the fat shell you call beauty!” InuKame says as he swings his blade.

He hits the woman’s stomach but the blade bounces off, ineffective against the layers of fat. Who knows how long this has been going on before they found out. It recoils in Inu-Kame’s hands, taking him by surprise.

‘ H-her flesh repelled the Tetsusaiga!’ he thinks to himself.

The Peach Lady grabs her staff from its niche in the floor next to her.

“ Fool. I don’t know where you’ve come from or even who you are, demon...But you’ll see that I do not POSE as an ancient master!” She shouts and waves her staff only for...flowers to come out of it.

“ Flowers?! Such a cheap diversion for a‘Master’ don’t you think?!” InuKame shouts back.

“ Look carefully at what you deem to be mere flowers.”

“ Shit! They’re huge! So you can make gigantic flowers....so what?!” InuKame says as a large hand reaches for him.

“ Idiot! They didn’t grow...you just shrunk!” she says grabbing InuKame and tossing the now pint sized half demon down her throat.

“ Dammit!” InuKame says he’s swallowed whole.

His sword falls to the ground reverting back to normal size and turning back into a rusted piece of junk again, now that the half demon no longer holds it.

“ I’m going after him, even if I have to climb up there.” Koki says adamantly.

“ But he told us to stay here, Koki.” Shippo says.

“ You two maybe but he expects me to follow him. I won’t leave him by himself...not today of all days.” Koki answers back.

“ Let’s go then....Shippo if you would be so kind.” Miroku says.

Shippo changes into a giant floating head and carries the humans up the hill. They’re just about there when Shippo starts lose the form he’s holding.

“ Koki! Jump!” Miroku shouts and they jump the rest of the way.

They land just under the Peach Lady’s hide away and start making their way up. On the way they come across what appears to a model of a miniature landscape. Shippo runs over and looks at it.

“ What the..a mini village?” Koki asks.

“ Imminent victims of the Peach Lady.” Miroku says as they lean closer.

“ Look women! Under the tree in the corner.” Shippo points out.

As they’re watching the women, the whole thing starts to glow.

“ Don’t get too close!” the monk shouts out.

Miroku, Koki and Shippo find themselves inside the miniature garden and the Wishing jewel shard Koki was wearing, it well...

“ Its gone! The shared I was wearing must’ve fell off when we shrank!” Koki shouts.

“ So then that means....” Miroku starts as the trio look up.

Meanwhile the Peach Lady has a bit of an issue, it seems demons don’t quite agree with her. She heads to where she works out her spells and she starts looking for something to cure it with, when the something catches her eye.

“ Ugh! I need something for my stomach. That demon I ate seems to have given me indigestion...oh! What’s this?!” she asks picking up the jewel shard, “ Such a huge piece of a Wishing shard. Just this little shard in my naval will give me a body that repels the strongest of swords. With this baby...no blade can touch me.” She picks up the giant pot she was looking in and swallows the contents.

“ That wench! Once I get out of here, I’m gonna slaughter that fat pig!” InuKame says as he starts climbing out, only to be knocked back down by some strange liquid.

“ What the hell..?! It stinks of..medicine!” Then he hears the sizzling sounds of the Peach Lady’s body digesting the liquid, “ Shit..I don’t have much time.

“ Maybe I can rip my way through her stomach!” He uses his claws in the stomach wall. He’s bounced back on his ass, “ What the...this thing’s rubbery inside and out.

All of a sudden his ears disappear, his hair changes from white/silver to black. He watches as his claws change into human nails, just like Koki’s and the monk’s. He freaks out. He’s hated this night ever since he was a child, only back then he had his mother to protect him but now he’s alone, inside the stomach of something inhuman and being digested. ‘ N-no! My demon powers are fading, and when I’ve completely turned...I’ll dissolve! Now, how I’m gonna get out of this?!’ he thinks as he continues to change.

“ Its the new moon...my powers are fading...I’m trapped in a monster’s belly, and I’m about to be digested!” InuKame says as he hears an ominous bubbling sound under his feet. He freaks out..only to catch something out of the corner of his eye. He goes to check it out.

“ Huh?! A light? Her flesh is translucent.” He touches the stomach wall only to recoil in pain, “ Yaaah! Damn...I’m start to feel pain. That hurt! I know..I’ll use the scabbard and rip through her flesh.”

While InuKame is trying to find a way out before its too late. The ‘thing’ that ate him finds InuKame’s sword laying on the ground. She picks it up and looks at it.

“ Hmm...no matter how I look at it, its just a rusty old sword. But when that Dog-Demon swung it, it seemed to transform.” then she feels something akin to kicking coming from her belly, where the shard is. Like someone’s trying to dislodge it. She shoves it back in and tells it to be still.

InuKame was knocked backwards into the stomach acid and his clothes started to dissolve. ‘This can’t be the end...can it? Koki...I..’ but his thoughts are interrupted by the scabbard vibrating in his hands. “ Its calling the blade! I think I just found my way out...Tetsusaiga! Come to me!” he shouts.

The sword lifts off the ground and, with the blade pointing right at the demon’s belly, it comes flying at the thing that devoured its master and hits it with such force that it cause the Peach Lady to throw up everything she just ate..including InuKame. After shaking off what happened, InuKame grabs his blade and attacks the her again. Only to be thrown back from the recoil of the monster’s flesh. He still can’t penetrate the creature.

“ YOU!!” The Peach Lady shouts before doing a belly slam right onto InuKame, knocking him unconscious. She stands back up and grabs an unconscious InuKame by his hair, “ Could this be..The same demon I swallowed?” she asks, confused.

InuKame wakes up sometime later, trapped in a tree of very sharp thorns. He’s pissed.

“ Wake up, you.” she says to InuKame.

“ What in the name of the seven circles--?!”

“ You’re a half-breed, aren’t you? I don’t taste half-breed flesh very often. I think I’ll bleed you, pickle you and save you for later!”

“ I like a monster with big ambitions!” InuKame snorts and pulls against the thorns.

“ Struggle all you like. It’ll help the thorns to suck your blood.” she giggles in sheer amusement.

Then InuKame sees the source of the glowing light he saw when he was inside her belly. He’s afraid and pissed, and for InuKame’s enemies that never bodes well. He knows Koki’s here...but where.

“ That..that shard..Who did you steal it from?!” he demands.

“ I found it my house, boy! That makes it mine.” she answers.

Meanwhile back in the mini garden....

“ Hurry, ladies. You have to leave or you’ll all be eaten by the fake “Master” of yours!” Koki says, but doesn’t get an answer in return. -They’re all so spaced out- he thinks in horror.

“ I’ve attempted to reach everyone of them..But its as if they’re soulless shell.” the monk says, walking over to Koki.

“ But Miroku..” Koki starts.

“ That monster must’ve put them under some sort of spell.” Shippo says from Miroku’s shoulder.

“ But we’re fine..how?” Koki asks.

Then Miroku spots a fruit seed lying on the grass and sees the women picking the fruit from the branches and eating it.

“ Now I get it, Koki. If you eat or drink from within this miniature garden, your volition is stolen from you.” the monk says.

“ Why does that make sense all of a sudden.”

“ So as long as we don’t eat or drink, we’re fine...right?” Shippo asks Koki.

“ Yeah..” Koki starts...

“ Until we die of starvation or thirst.” Miroku finishes.

Right, now to find a way out of this and back to InuKame. They hear a thunderous type noise and the sky starts to swirl..like its trying to produce a tornado. They see a hand emerge from the swirling clouds.

“ Look its a hand! Let’s grab it!” Koki shouts

“ For better or worse...its our only way out!” Miroku agrees.

The Monster pulls her hand out of the mini garden and looks at what she’s picked up.

“ Now..which ones should I eat? Not that one...or that one. Nothing but skinny, bitter little women..huh? A young man!” She says seeing Koki laying in her palm.

‘ She’s the...woman eating monster?! Looks more like a fat blob in my opinion.’ Koki thinks with a snort.

“ Ho, Ho...I don’t remember catching this little bonbon! Its my lucky day...I catch myself a demonic half-breed and this little...

“ You caught...InuKame?!” Koki asks as he feels giant fingers wrap around his waist.

“ Huh! Don’t tell me you two tasty creatures know each other!” she says to Koki.

“ He’d better be alive and whole, Peach Woman! If he’s not, I’ll..I’ll kill you myself!” Koki shouts back.

“ Amazing..where does he get the nerve?” Shippo asks holding onto the monk’s shoulders.

“ By his standards, I suspect this is mild.” Miroku responds as they climb up the monster’s sleeve.

“ Hehehe...you’ve got spunk! It would be a waste to eat you while you’re so tiny!” she cackles and squeezes Koki’s tiny body until he passes out.

“ K-Koki!” Shippo shouts as Koki’s carried into the kitchen.

InuKame fights desperately to get free. ‘ Damn it...I’ve lost too much blood. My eyes..beginning to blur.’ he thinks while his heart wishes for Koki to be alive.

“ Aww...You’re still alive!” The Peach Lady says, walking into the room and dropping Koki’s shirt at his feet. His boxers, backpack and jeans were left in the kitchen.

‘ Koki’s shirt..its all ripped to shreds. Don’t let him be..’ he thinks as his heart thuds.

“ Such a tragic expression on your face..”

“ Koki...What did you do with him?!” InuKame shouts.

“ Don’t fret..you’ll see him soon enough..in my belly!” She says, taunting InuKame.

“ You..You ate him!” InuKame growls.

“ Well, what else are humans for, hmm?”

Now he’s really pissed, “ You’re going to die for that!!” he screams and lunges for the monster.

“ Useless half-breed..its no use to struggle. Those vines can not be severed.” she laughs.

Miroku and Shippo come out from the folds Koki’s shirt. They see InuKame trapped behind a wall of thorns.

“ InuKame...”

“ That’s InuKame?! He seems almost human..Miroku says.

“ He IS human!” Shippo corrects.

“ I don’t know how much I can suck in with this tiny body..but I shall try..!” Miroku opens his hand towards the wall of vines and tries to break them down the best he could.

Miroku manages to break enough of the thorns down to allow InuKame to pull free without losing more blood than he has already. The Peach Lady is trapped, unconscious, under the thorns while InuKame gets free. InuKame sees a shrunken Shippo and Miroku who tell him that Koki was taken to the kitchen. InuKame heads that way and finds Koki’s shoes and backpack along the way. He picks them up and continues calling Koki’s name.

Koki wakes up, naked and sitting in what appears to be an in ground pool, turned cooking pot.

“ What the...? I thought I smelled sake.” Koki says then sees a bucket with human remains in it, “ Human bones...that’s it I’m outta here!” he goes to one side of the pool/pot but is met by sheep holding axes and meat cleavers, barring his exit.

All of a sudden the kitchen door is knocked off its hinges, rather violently. The falling door makes the animals in the room scatter.

“ KOKI!!” InuKame shouts as he bursts through the doorway, then he sees Koki. ‘ He’s still alive.’

“ Kame! What...?” Koki starts but gets cut off.

“ Here..you dropped these.” InuKame says and drops Koki’s bag, jeans and shoes next to the pot he was sitting in.

Koki smiles at InuKame, relieved that he’s alive and puts his clothes back on. Unfortunately, the shirt he was wearing was the last one he had that was still wearable. InuKame takes his cloak off and tosses it to Koki.

“ You can wear that until you get some clean clothes, no matter how much the blood stains disgust you.” though he looks away when he says this.

Koki puts it on and kneels beside InuKame and says, “ Demon or human...your blood doesn’t disgust me, Kame.”

While Koki, and a still shrunken fox demon and monk, are helping InuKame...the Peach Lady wakes up and she’s hungry. She follows the bloody trail InuKame left in his wake. InuKame is resting on the stairs waiting for Koki to come back from his scouting venture.

“ InuKame’s so weak..” Shippo says.

“ He is badly wounded. It would be better not to move him but...” Miroku then hears Koki’s footsteps.

“ I found a place where we might be able to get outside...but it won’t do us any good. Can you walk Kame?” Koki says.

“ Outside...is it morning yet?” InuKame asks.

“ No, its still pitch black. I know you hate this and I’m sorry but we have to keep running until your powers return, Kame.” Koki says apologetically.

“ Show me this place you found.” InuKame says and Koki helps him up, but allows him to walk unaided.

Koki takes InuKame to window over looking a sheer drop to the bottom, InuKame turns to Koki and says....

“ You’re right it wouldn’t work, I guess the only choice we have is...”

“ Think of something else!”

“ I didn’t say anything yet...”

“ You were planning on letting me escape, while you stay here right?! So like I said, think of something else. You know I can’t just leave you here!”

“ But...Koki...” InuKame’s words are cut off by someone inside the room they were in.

“ Is...someone there?” the voice asks.

InuKame and Koki whip around and see a talking...plant? Is that even possible.

“ Is that flower..talking, InuKame?” Koki asks confused.

InuKame nods.

“ Its been so long..since I have heard...the voice of another..” the strange flower says.

Koki kneels down by the flower and asks, “ Where you eaten by the Peach Lady, Miss?”

“ I erred badly in teaching such a woman my tricks.”

“ You mean..you’re the REAL Hermit Master?!” InuKame asks.

“ Alas, yes...and mentor to the Peach Lady.” She admits, InuKame gets upset.

“ Why you...” he goes for the plant.

“ Kame..wait!” Koki says.

“ Do you know what you’ve done, wench?! Teaching the powers of a Hermit Master--to a woman-eating monster!!” InuKame shouts.

“ But the Peach Lady..is not a demon. She came to me merely another mortal woman..” the flower continues.

InuKame was about to respond when someone or rather something, comes bursting through the door. It was the Peach Lady but her body was...different, to say the least.

“ Haha...why you cleaver little things! Getting all the way here, you did.” The Peach Lady laughs.

‘ Her body...turned to stone. The power of the wishing shard must have taken started to take effect! We have to get it back! But how?’ Koki thinks spotting his shard inside the monster’s naval.

“ You’re trying to tell this thing used to be human?! Do you think I’m an idiot?!” InuKame shouts.

“ It is possible for a human to transform into a demon, remember? If the evil within her is strong enough..” Miroku replies.

“ I’m not evil! I just..wanted to get stronger!” the thing yells and swings her staff.

InuKame puts his body between the blow and Koki. He grabs Koki and tries to get out of the way only to feel a sharp pain in his back, Koki sees blood spurt from the wound. InuKame lays in his arms bleeding and in pain.

“ InuKame!” Koki shouts out of habit.

“ Humans are worthless. They’re born helpless,spend their lives doing someone else’s work in the mud...and then they die! My mother and father lived and died like that. I promised myself I never would, that’s why I apprenticed myself to that ridiculous hermit master! But after years she’d only taught me a few basic spells, so when she wasn’t looking, I stole a peek at her scrolls...And learned that the fastest way to master the magic is to devour the flesh of one who has already mastered it! The final secret spell..The recipe for the elixir of youth and longevity..that alone is still inside her skull. That’s why I’m allowing her head to live on!” The Peach Lady explains.

“ Youth and longevity...You..you’ve been killing people for that! Even though you’re human too?! You eat human flesh?!” Koki shouts.

“ What’s wrong with the strong eating the weak? Its the same as a snake devouring a frog.” The Peach Lady reasons.

“ You’re a fucking cannibal!” Koki yells.

“ Don’t..Koki..arguing with her won’t get anywhere..” InuKame says, trying to stand.

“ Kame...you shouldn’t move around so much..” Koki warns helping him to stand anyway.

“ I’m a half demon and I hate the frailty of the part of me that’s human. I can sympathize with you wanting more than anything to be stronger. But this.....this only proves your weakness!”

“ Ha! You’re going to lecture me about weakness..you’re a bleeding cripple?!”

“ You will never..know half the strength I do!” InuKame shouts.

InuKame makes a run for the jewel shard, only to be knocked into the far wall by the Peach Lady’s fist. He lands on a jar of liquid and skulls.

“ Take a sip of that elixir...” the flower says.

“ But what...?!” InuKame starts.

“ That is the sham elixir of youth and longevity that the Peach Lady has distilled. However, it possesses the power to at least heal your wounds. If you want to live, drink it..” The flower explains.

‘ Don’t InuKame...’ Koki thinks watching the half demon.

“ Heheheh..I don’t mind. It’ll be more fun if you can fight back a little!” the Peach Lady taunts.

InuKame looks at Koki and then back at the monster, “ Hmmph..you’d think I’d drink that swill?! After all, anything you created would make me more like you!!” InuKame shouts.

“ Kame..” Koki says relieved only to think, ‘ InuKame..your heart is human, don’t you see that.’

“ Heh..you’re gonna regret not being me!!” The Peach Lady smiles wickedly, “ So half breed..are you ready to die?”
