Shippou: Run away! Kagome: Eh... 3 [Closeup of Shippou looking scared.] Shippou: My Otou was also... Shippou: taken out by this. ( Considering what this blast does, it's a wonder that any of Shippou's dad remained to make a pelt from, although since he had a Shikon no Tama fragment, he might have regenerated a bit, before the fragment was taken from him in his weakened state.) 4 [Closeup of Manten opening his energy charged mouth.] Fx energy: flash 5 [Manten blasts the stream of lightning out, smashing some rushes.] Fx blast: ka-boom 6 [The blast just skims over Kagome's back as she falls to the floor, vapourising her quiver of arrows.] Fx blast: wham Kagome: Kya!!

Manten: Shh! Manten: Don't shout. Manten: If Hiten-an-chan discovers you, you'll really be eaten. Page 16 1 [The view shifts to Hiten smashing a door open, grinning widely, while holding onto a female Youkai (she looks human apart from the black eyes with white irises), who isn't wearing much except some jewelry, a live snake and a long skirt.] Fx Hiten: (door) whack Manten: What's this, you've come back, eh Manten. youkai-woman: Oh!

Hiten: Have you found some new Shikon fragments? 4 [Manten suddenly looks thoughtful.] Manten: Eh. Manten: Oh dear... 5 [Manten starts sweating and looks away from his brother, who is still smiling amiably.] Manten: Ah. Manten: That's right... Hiten: Hn? 6 [Manten turns back to Hiten, in an apologetic way.] Manten: I'm, I'm sorry, an-chan. Manten: I did find some, but accidentally... 7 [Closeup of Hiten looking at his brother, still smiling amiably.] Hiten: What'd ya mean, "accidentally"... Hiten: It couldn't be that you were dazzled more by the girl than by Shikon fragments... Page 18 1 [Hiten explodes in anger and punches the woman straight through the head, without even looking at her.] Fx Hiten: (punching) whump Hiten: Don't tell me you let them get away! 2 [The woman's bleeding body falls to the ground, with Hiten's arm still in the completion of his strike, while Manten flinches away from him.] Fx youkai-woman: *fall with thud* Manten: Eeek! I'm sorry an-chan...! Hiten: Jeez, there's nothing for it. 3 [Closeup of Kagome looking rather scared.] Kagome: .oO(Wh, why this guy's...). Kagome: .oO(even more dangerous...).

Hiten: Isn't that guy Half-Youkai. 6 [Kagome is speaking forcefully, while behind her a mostly restored Shikon no Tama is shown, with a few pieces missing.] Kagome: He _is_ strong. Because, Inuyasha has already, Kagome: collected together almost all of the Shikon fragments, you see. Page 5 1 [Hiten and Manten look quite surprised, and not very pleased.] Hiten: Wha... Manten: aat~? 2 [Closeup side view of Kagome looking confident, and a little pleased with herself.] Kagome: .oO(Allright!).

Page 9 1 [Inuyasha speaks angrily at Shippou, who responds angrily.] Inuyasha: _Idiot_, Inuyasha: Where do you see a pretty lady in Kagome! Shippou: _What!?_ Are your eyes useless holes!? ( The Japanese from which "pretty lady" comes, "ii onna", is associated with women older and more mature than Kagome, so Inuyasha is correct to some extent. However, Inuyasha would probably not agree that Kagome is "bishoujo" (pretty girl) either.) 2 [Inuyasha turns, looking worried at Myouga on his shoulder, while Shippou looks panic stricken and is shaking his head back and forth.] Myouga: Well, Myouga: I too think she's a pretty lady.

Page 14 1 [Inuyasha speaks up at the three in the air, while Shippou stands next to him, looking surprised.] Fx Inuyasha: *tense with anger...* Inuyasha: Hey wait! Inuyasha: Who's this beloved woman. Kagome: Wha, Kagome: What are you being shy for? 2 [Manten turns to Kagome, patting her on the head, and Kagome tries the fists-under-chin cute look.] Fx Manten: (Kagome) *shake shake* Manten: Bitch, you lied after all, huh. Kagome: Eh... 3 [Inuyasha shouts angrily up at Kagome.] Inuyasha: Bah, who'd hand over the precious fragments, for someone like you!? Kagome: Wha... 4 [Closeup of Kagome speaking angrily.] Kagome: What's with you! Kagome: Are you intending to cast me aside!? 5 [Inuyasha responds angrily.] Inuyasha: Cast you aside!? Inuyasha: That sounds just like we're a loving couple, doesn't it? Page 15 1 [Closeup of Hiten.] Hiten: ... Looks like just the "carrying fragments" story is true, doesn't it. 2 [Hiten swoops down at Inuyasha, who prepares himself, starting to draw Tetsusaiga.] Fx Hiten: *sharp movement* Fx Inuyasha: (drawing Tetsusaiga) shink Hiten: I'm gonna waste ya, and search your corpse! Inuyasha: Bah, I'll beat you back!
