Come sail away, come sail away... Back on Naraku's trail, we're lead to a mysterious island called Asagiri-jima. Sure seems like an odd place to hide out, but there's weird stuff going on here. Guess it's time to find out what's going on...
	Fear the 'shroomage! :D So here we are on an island full of youkai. How fun! And here we are again in battle. ...this attack scares me as much as it confuses the enemy. Shippou-chan, you rule. XD (*Note - Yep, Shippou has a kinoko attack that... just... yeah... the first time I tried it out, it gave me the creeps! Now it just makes me laugh to no end...)
	And look at all the pretty vegetation... And we search through the island and try to find out what's going on...   (*Note - here's the oboete neko!)
	Aww, isn't he adoreable? So then in our search, we run into this cute little youkai, who goes on trying to show off his amazing powers. I think we'd be able to take him more seroiusly if he weren't so darn cute and little! Heehehee. Resisting urge to go up and pet him. ^_^
	Note to self: Never call a youkai who's trying to show off his amazing powers "small and cute." He does something not nice to us and we end up injured! Although, you'd think he'd be a little nicer about it... OWWWWWWWW....
	I KNEW these two were involved! No sooner do we catch our breath when Kagura and that Utsugi girl show up on the island! AaahhH!! WhatdoIdoWhatdoIdoWhatdoIdo!??! But Kikyou comes out of nowhere (boy, I guess that's a habit of hers) and saves us!!
	"Open Sesame!" After Kikyou takes her leave of us, we run into Kagura and Utsugi one more time and follow them to... well, nowhere. Suddenly, they disappear! But then this mysterious cave opens up... And of course, we, being the brave bunch we are, walk right in!

Ack! Okay, my apologies for taking SO DAMN LONG to get back to this! I actually do remember there being a few key scenes (and a battle with Kanna) between the last point in Minamo Village and where I picked up here, but I couldn't find a save point that was really close to Minamo, so I don't have screenshots. So I skipped right ahead.

After you have your little love-fest with Inuyasha... um... I mean... after Minamo, you end up back on Naraku's trail, which takes you to Shiosai Village.

In Shiosai you talk to various villagers and eventually get someone to take you on a boat to a mysterious island in the distance called Asagiri-jima.

Asagiri-jima is covered in mist (and likely jyaki, too!) so I remeber there being quite a high random-battle encounter rate. But that makes it all the more fun! WOOHOO!! :D There's also an oboeteneko on the island, so that's where you can save off the world map.

While on the island you get attacked by the almighty island youkai -- who gets pissed off for you calling him a "little guy," apparently -- and he smacks you into uber-submission. You wake up on the beach, injured, and just happened to have landed with Inuyasha at my side. Heehee. I'm not sure if this scene ends up differently depending on who you've built the strongest relationshp with, but I think it probably does.

Kuro woke up with Inuyasha and there's a lot of, "Are you okay?" "I'm okay, but you've gotta get out of here!" "I'm not leaving you behind!" going on. You get the choice to either try to excape and leave on your own or to stay. I chose to stay. No chance in hell I'm leavin' my boy behind! ;)

Then Kagura and Utsugi show up on the scene. With Inuyasha injured, you do the most obviously and blatantly sensible thing and... get up and let them see you. Pff... XD But before anything seriously bad happens, the mysterious dead chick comes out and saves your ass again! Yes, methinks Kikyou is definitely scoring "I'm ambiguously good," points in this game. She's naturally just protecting her ex-boyfriend, saving you by default, but hey, *shrugs* it's all good, right? Turns out she's on the island also chasing after Naraku, who *cue evil music* happens to be hiding out on Asagiri-jima... probably kicking back on the beach and lounging with maitais or something.

So what do you do? YOU GO OUT TO BEAT HIS ASS!! Naturally. :)
