This is sort of chapter 18...

It’s Wednesday night, and the gang is ready for the big, happenin’ shindig Mikoto Asano (Yuki’s and Shunusuke’s dad) ordered to keep Hisui Oukami (the Great Demon of the Northern Lands and Mikoto’s mom) happy.

In fact, a lot of things are being done to keep Little Miss Psychopathically Hip happy:

  • Everybody’s acting like things are perfectly normal and they’re having fun
  • Kagome isn’t trying to contact her family, so Hisui won’t have them killed
  • Shunusuke and Yuki are throwing a party
  • Sesshomaru is stocking up on condoms and reading the Karma Sutra and The Joy of Sex
  • Shinnai (Hisui’s kitsune bodyguard) has made himself scarce
  • Mikoto isn’t directly attacking Inu Yasha to get his Shikon Jewel shards
  • Mikoto put the resort back together after trashing it in a fight with Inu Yasha
  • Mikoto is also not raising a stink over all the money Yuki is spending on her new feudal friends, especially a certain demon hunter, who, it turns out, likes haute couture (though she has no idea what it is) and American junk food
  • (Gee, this Mikoto guy is awfully whipped for a big-time, "more-powerful-than-a-yakuza-crime lord" president of a major multinational microchip manufacturer.)

The Couples So Far:

  • Inu Yasha and Kagome (duh)
  • Sesshomaru and Hisui
  • Yuki and Miroku
  • Shippo and Rei (well, ok, they’re just friends now that she knows what he is)

Shunusuke wants to hook up with Sango, Shinnai wants to hook up with Hisui and Shinnai’s brother Usagi (who goes by Tsurai-Shi) wants to hook up with Yuki. The best odds are on Shunusuke and Sango.

The Million Yen Questions:

  • What became of Tachi and his gang of violent thugs?
  • Where’s Hojo?
  • Just what is Hisui’s game, anyway?
  • What part of the Jewel-thing was Sesshomaru telling the truth about: Who he got it from, how he got it from her, and/or from where did he extract it? (Icky!)
  • Did Sesshomaru’s left arm grow back, is it a prosthetic, or what? (Answer: It grew back. -qos)
  • Is Kagome’s family OK? (Answer: Geez! I’m not that mean! -qos)
  • Will Yuki ever max out her father’s charge card? (Answer: Nope. It’s American Express. -qos)
  • Will Yuki get grounded, or otherwise punished for running up her daddy’s charge account? (Answer: Hoo yeah. Daddy’ll probably take her keys to the Beemer, or maybe he’ll actually make her get a job. -qos)
