This episode starts out where the gang is at a new town, and it seems familiar to Shippo. While there, they all split up to search and see if there are any demons or shards (Not really, they actually take their own little free times XD) Miroku and Sango go together, Inuyasha and Kagome (BIG surprise), and Shippo is on his own. Shippo finds a young girl being harassed by some boys who are accusing her of stealing from them. 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, cuz if the jewel is truely real, then they'll have to take it from the girl (4got 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 magic horse-thingy.

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! XD so he just punches it! XDD Then he tells shippo, "Nice work on that lizard demon!" But shippo knows that Inuyasha actually killed it, "I dunno, that demon was on it's last legs when I got here" (aww, Inu's so sweet ^_^)

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 ^_^
