Kagome tries to get Inu to let her go home to study for her tests. Meanwhile Sango gets lucky & is allowed to leave to go get her Hiraikotsu fixed. (this is because this appeared in the manga before they had met Sango). While all this is going on some guy is trying to escape from an obese man who sucks him into a gourd because he’s trying to get away from training. Then the gang walk on & they see weird demonic fruit floating in a stream. They trace it back to a strange tree on a mountain. It’s almost the night of the new moon, yet Inu feels he can take care of it quickly. He climbs the cliff & finds Tokajin pouring a strange liquid on to the tree roots. Inu & Tokajin fight. Inu winds up getting sucked into the gourd. He’s in trouble now as it’s night fall & he’s become human. Meanwhile Shippo turns into a balloon & carries Kag & Mir up the cliff. Shippo collapses from the effort & they finds themselves in Tokajion’s house where they find a minature village. They find themselves shrinking & they fall into it. While in the mini village the gang learn about what the training really is form one of the guys living there. Meanwhile Inu’s desperate to get out of the gourd. He calls the Tetsusaiga to him after Tokajin leaves in a weapon’s cache after thinking it was just an old sword. Inu escapes & starts another fight with Tokajin. Meanwhile he takes the stolen shards & transforms into a rock creature & slams into Inu with his rock hard stomach. Meanwhile the gang is staring to get upset as it seems there’s no way out of the village…
