The Inuyasha gang are in a new town. Shippo finds it familiar. Well they split up and look for demons and shards and stuff. Shippo finds a gril that was being harassed by some boys...Shippo scares them off in his pink ball form, then talks with her. She really did steal from the boys(but that's not important) and she tells Shippo that she is waiting for her older brother to return from the war after becoming a samurai. He is all she can think of because her parents died a long time ago. And her brother gave her a shard of the sacred jewel.

It goes to Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku who got back together and are checking out a hotel. Miroku is doing his usual thing, only this time, there really is a demon. It gets scared away and then Shippo comes running up to them telling them that he knows where another jewel is. But then feels stupid, cause if the jewel is truly real, then they'll have to take it from the girl ( don't no her name-_-) Kagome looks at it and realizes that it's fake, but doesn't tell her.

It goes back to the girl and she's in her small hut, then her brother appears at the door. He's injured. Shippo goes to check on her and sees that her brother is actually a lizard demon in disguise... He tries to warn her, but the demon grabs her and tells shippo to get the real shards of the jewel. They all wind outside the hut after shippo tricks the demon with a magic snake. Then, Shippo helps the girl escape with his toy horse thingy form.

When Shippo fights the demon, he regrets being weak and just wishes that he was as strong as his friends. He eventually get's knocked out and Inuyasha appears. He tries to do his new back-lash wave attack, but finds out that the demon is too weak ,so... he just punches it! Then he tells shippo that He killed no Inuyasha... But shippo knows that Inuyasha actually killed it, Then, the small girl tosses the fake jewel and decides to live with the elder, because she knows that her brother truely has died in the war. Then, they all leave...
