It only attacks the wealthy houses! No matter how good the security, it's still the same!

But no one can see the culprit…

That's impossible…

Invisible demon…? Haraiya, the old demon exterminator has teamed up with us. Can we defeat this invisible demon? Next on Inuyasha, "The Bizarre Invisible Demon: Appear, Appear!".

Leave it to me! I will catch the thief with my demonic magic!

[ Prologue ]

INU:   Amidst the chaos of the Warring States Era, we continue our journey.

KAG:  In a time 500 years ago, everyone’s fate is tied to the fragments of the Sacred Jewel.

INU & KAG: Let’s battle on! Inuyasha!

KAG:  There is an invisible thief who comes every night. But no one could see his true face… Is this really done by an invisible demon?


[ ACT I ]

Flashback from previous episodes.

KAG:  (narrating) Naraku is about to complete the Sacred Jewel. We are on a journey to retrieve the remaining fragments.

Cut to episode 85 when INU-gang first met the weird old exorcist who couldn't sense evil aura.

KAG:  (narrating) I can't believe we'll meet that person again on our journey…!

Exorcist: (spraying purifying salt) Demon, be gone!


Nighttime. INU-gang is barbequing tiny fishes over a campfire in a forest.

KAG:  This is sort of a simple dinner.

INU:   (irritated) That's all the fishes we could get!

SHI:   Kagome, there is no more ninja food left, right?

KAG:  Nope.

SHI:   Miroku, why didn't you buy any food?

MIR:   (frowns) I don't have money to buy the food.

KAG:  (shocked) There is no money left?

MIR:   Nope… We need to start earning some!

SHI's stomach growls loudly, and everyone looks at him. INU's stomach starts to growl too and he looks away in indignation.

SAN:  It's almost done.

SAN picks up two sticks of fish over the fire and hands one to KIR, who mews cheerfully.

MIR:   That's great…

MIR and KAG each pick up a stick of fish too. SHI is pleasantly surprised when he notices a stick with two fishes instead of one. He is about to reach for it when INU notices it too and reaches in. There is a moment of tension between SHI and INU, with both of them placing their hands near the stick.

INU:   I'm bigger, so I need more food!

SHI:   (clenches fists) I'm growing, so I need the food!

INU seizes the chance when SHI's clenching his fists to grab the stick.

INU:   (smug) Got it!

SHI:   It's mine!

SHI jumps to grab the fish from INU, but INU punches him to the ground. SHI struggles up in pain and fury.

INU:   You thought you could win? (shakes fish jeeringly) Impossible!

KAG:  Inuyasha.

INU:   Huh?

KAG:  Sit!

INU crashes to the ground and the stick of fishes fall out of his hand.

SHI:   (leaps) It's mine!

SHI is about to grab the stick when INU slaps his head from behind and takes it instead.

INU:   No…! (finishes the fish happily) Thanks for the food!

SHI sits up and wails loudly. KAG hands another stick of fish to SHI.

KAG:  You'll be able to eat as much as you want tomorrow.

SHI nods and looks at KAG with tears in his eyes. Cut to SHI a short distance away from the group. He leaps onto a boulder and eats his fish.

SHI:   (thinking) Inuyasha, you idiot! I will seek revenge for stealing my food!

SHI turns back and glares at INU.


[ Title screen: The Bizarre Invisible Demon: Appear, Appear! ]


Nighttime in a large mansion in a town. The old lord of the mansion and his servants bow to the Exorcist.

Lord 1: Please do your best, Granny Exorcist!

Exorcist abbreviated as EXO from now onwards.

EXO:  Don't worry! Leave it to me!

The Exorcist walks up to a building in the mansion. A gust of wind starts to blow eerily.

Lord 1: What a creepy breeze!

EXO:  Are you sure? It's just the wind!

Lord 2: (background) It's here!

EXO rushes out of the mansion. A servant from another mansion runs up to her.

Lord 2: Granny Exorcist! Granny Exorcist! I-It's here!

EXO:  (frowns) It's my fault! I should have protected the other mansion tonight!


Daytime. INU-gang arrives in the busy town.

MIR:   (sighs) We have come to a restless town again.

KAG:  Is there something wrong?

MIR:   I'm not sure if we can find a house that needs exorcism and blessing.

INU:   Your exorcism is fake anyway!

MIR:   The house must have some kind of problem or it won't work…!

KAG:  (puzzled) It won't work?

SAN:  (frowns) You should feel ashamed of it.

SHI:   What if we have no place to stay?

INU:   It's just fine out here! (walks away)

KAG:  I want to take a bath! I want to sleep on a bed!

SHI:   Don't you want to eat something good, Inuyasha?

INU stops.

MIR:   That's true.

INU:   (runs back to the group) Then what are we going to do?!

EXO walks up to the group, smiling.

EXO:  Hey, it's been a while since we last met! How have you been doing?

KAG:  Granny Exorcist!

SHI:   The old hag!

CUT TO FLASHBACK from episode 85, when EXO and INU-gang were investigating a mansion.

EXO:  Evil aura? (continues eating) I don't feel anything.

KAG:  (grimaces) Really?

SAN:  (frowns, thinking) What a great exorcist!

Cut to EXO throwing some purifying salt at INU, who dodge smugly. She tries again, and INU dodges, smirking. Cut to KAG and SAN looking frustrated. INU leaps across the room.

INU:   Catch me if you can!

EXO:  (chasing) Demon, be gone! You brat!

INU:   I'm here!

KAG:  Sit!

INU crashes to the ground and EXO falls onto him.

KAG:  Stop it, both of you!

Cut to INU hiding behind KAG.

EXO:  You still need to improve!

INU:   What? You fake exorcist!

KAG:  (smiles) I don't know if she is a great exorcist, but I think she is a good person.

Cut to episode 86, EXO running with SAN to find MIR.

EXO:  You're worrying, aren't you? About the priest and the princess getting along? You like him, right? That priest called Miroku?

SAN looks away.

EXO:  (teasing) It's written all over your face! (giggles)

SAN:  (stops and shouts) It is not true! Huh?!

SAN turns to EXO, who is far ahead.

EXO:  What are you doing? I'm going to leave you!

SAN clenches her fist in exasperation. KIR mews.

BACK TO PRESENT.

MIR:   You seem to be in good health, Granny Exorcist.

EXO:  Great, great! I'm doing great as an exorcist!

KAG:  (whispers to SAN) She's still an exorcist.

SAN:  (whispers back) I can't believe she is still in good health.

EXO:  I am so glad that you have come to this town! Do you think you could help me? It should be an easy job for you guys.

MIR:   (hopeful) Is it a job that we could earn some money?

EXO:  Yes, I couldn't handle it by myself, I need someone to help me.

MIR:   We're listening.

EXO:  It's a mysterious, nightly occurrence! It only attacks the wealthy houses… No matter how good the security, it still manages to take all the valuables. With such a strange technique, the thief may be a demon.

INU:   A strange technique?

EXO:  It still gets in even when the house is secured. One can feel its presence, but can't see nothing. That means the culprit can walk through walls and turn invisible.

KAG:  Must be a ninja!

SAN:  That's impossible, even for a ninja!

KAG:  Can it really become invisible? Invisible demon?

MIR:   I see… If it's not the work of humans, it must be done by a demon.

SHI:   (determined) Leave it to me!

Everyone looks at SHI, surprised.

SHI:   It seems it uses demonic magic… I can solve the mystery!

INU:   Be it invisible or not, I can still sniff him out!

SHI:   Didn't you get tricked by magic before?

INU:   The only trick you can do is run away!

SHI:   That's not true!

INU:   I allowed myself to be tricked by magic!

SAN sighs.

KAG:  (furious) Stop it, both of you!

Both INU and SHI scoff and look away from each other.

KAG:  Where is Miroku?

MIR and EXO have already walk ahead.

EXO:  (turns to group) What are you doing? Let's go!

[ End of ACT I: 8min 19sec ]


[ ACT II ]

INU-gang and EXO arrive at a large mansion.

EXO:  This is the house of the second richest man in this town. Some of the rich men have been robbed. They want us to help them. We should split up and protect both houses.

KAG:  Split up? But how?

SHI:   I'm not going to work with Inuyasha!

INU:   Hey! I don't need you as well!

SHI:   Inuyasha will get tricked by demonic magic, it will be the end!

INU:   I'll use my Wind Scar and blow it away!

INU thumps SHI's head.

KAG:  Inuyasha!

EXO:  The priest and I, with holy powers, will split up.

MIR:   (uneasy) Holy powers?

Cut to MIR and EXO standing across the rest of the group, picking out the members for their team.

MIR:   Sango, will you be able to take care of Granny Exorcist?

SAN:  I understand… Come, Kirara.

SAN and KIR walk EXO.

EXO:  Then, the other girl will be over there.

KAG:  I'm in Miroku's team, right? (jogs to MIR's side)

Only INU and SHI are left.

SHI:   (thinking) I think that Miroku will be better than the old hag.

INU:   (thinking) I think that Miroku will be better than the old hag.

KAG:  (whispers to MIR) There's no one could control Inuyasha if he's in Granny Exorcist's team…

MIR:   Yes, I agree. Shippo, you should help Granny Exorcist with your demonic magic.

SHI:   (worried) What? With my demonic magic?

INU:   (sneers) You can run away if you want to. (walks to KAG)

SHI:   (determined) I will catch the thief with my demonic magic!

Cut to EXO walking away with SAN, KIR and SHI.

EXO:  Then I will leave everything here to you, Priest. We'll be going to the richest house in town.


Cut to INU, MIR and KAG in a room in the second richest house.

Lord 2: Thank you for everything!

Lord 2 bows and walks out after giving the group some snacks.

KAG:  What are we going to do?

INU:   It's going to appear at night, right? All we can do is wait here.

MIR:   We'll rest and try to be prepared.

KAG:  Can I take a bath?

INU:   Do whatever you want!

MIR:   They should allow you if it's a part of the preparation. (drinks tea, thinking) Let's take it easy. (chuckles)

KAG:  (thinking) I wonder if Shippo and the rest are okay.


Cut to EXO, SHI, KIR and SAN in a room in the richest mansion.

Lord 1: Please try your best and thank you for everything!

Lord 1 bows and walks out after giving the group some snacks.

SHI:   He looks so sad.

EXO:  Because the thief might come again tonight!

SAN:  What are we going to do now?

EXO:  Planning for tonight… (looks at cup) A tea stem is floating in my tea. Everything may go well!

SHI:   What kind of a plan?

EXO:  Can you really use demonic magic?

SHI:   Of course.

EXO:  Can you turn yourself invisible?

SHI:   I can't, but I've heard of this kind of demonic magic.

SAN:  I've never heard of a demon who can make itself invisible.

EXO:  Me neither. But, I have a talisman that can erase your presence. (takes out a talisman)

SHI:   (takes out a leaf) I have a trick that can erase your presence too.

EXO:  That's fair for us if we could turn invisible as well.

EXO places the talisman on the floor. SHI studies his leaf, pondering. EXO looks at SHI and an idea strikes her.

EXO:  Let's try it together!

SHI:   Good idea! It doesn't hurt to try!

EXO sticks the talisman on SHI's forehead. SHI then leaps into the air, holding out his leaf.

SHI:   Fox Magic! Universe of Clouds!

SHI plops the leaf on the talisman on his forehead and a puff of smoke appears. The smoke dissipates and only SHI's orange bushy tail is seen. EXO and SAN gasp in surprise. SHI pops back to normal with a puff of smoke.

SHI:   How was it?

EXO:  Almost there!

SHI:   Then…

SHI changes his leaf for another and plops it on the talisman on his forehead again. He disappears in a puff of smoke.

SAN:  (shocked) Disappeared!

EXO:  It's successful!

SHI removes the leaf and pops back to normal.

SHI:   How was it?

EXO:  You disappeared!

SAN:  You were invisible!

SHI:   (excited) I've learned a new power! (laughs deliriously)

EXO:  Let's try it on others!

Cut to SAN with a talisman on her forehead.

SAN:  Me?

SHI:   Fox Magic! Universe of Clouds!

SHI leaps and sticks the leaf on SAN's forehead. SAN disappears in a puff of smoke.

SHI:   (excited) The trick of Universe of Clouds is complete!

EXO:  It's amazing!

SHI:   (gasps, realizing) Oh yeah…! (giggles mischievously) I need to do something before we fight with the demon.

SHI takes out a leaf and does his Universe of Clouds trick again, and he disappears. The door of the room slides open and SHI is heard walking out.

SHI:   I'll be back by nightfall!

EXO:  What? Did he leave?

SAN:  I have to go too!

SAN is heard running out of the room.

EXO:  What did you say?

KIR mews and follows SAN out of the room.


Cut to busy town square. In an alley, two boys are teasing a girl, tossing her bean bag to each other.

Boy 1:  Here here!

Girl:  Give it back to me!

Boy 1:  (tosses bean bag to Boy 2) Here you go.

Girl:  (runs to Boy 2) Give it back to me!

Boy 2 tosses the bean bag to Boy 1 and runs to his side.

Boys: If you want it back, turn around three times! (laughs)

The girl is almost in tears. KIR appears and leaps onto the shoulder of the invisible SAN.

SAN:  Stop it, both of you.

The boys gape at KIR, who is growling.

SAN:  Give it back to her.

Boy 2:  T-The cat talked.

SAN walks towards the boys, and as she's invisible, it seems like KIR is floating towards them.

Boys: (terrified) A cat demon!!

The boys throw away the bean bag and run for their lives, yelling. KIR leaps off SAN and picks up the bean bag. She hands it to the invisible SAN, who hands it to the girl.

SAN:  Here! Bye!

Suddenly, the Universe of Clouds spell loses its power, and SAN is gradually visible again. The girl smiles and waves to SAN as she walks away.

Girl:  Thank you, Sister…


Cut to SAN walking in the town square. The town folk stares at SAN and wondering why she's walking with a talisman and leaf on her forehead. SAN, however, doesn't know she's visible again.

Woman 1: (background) Stop it, Priest!

MIR:   (background) No, no… I'm serious!

SAN turns around to find MIR walking out of a shop with two women. They walk away from SAN, not noticing her.

Woman 2: Really?

MIR:   (cheerful) Really!

MIR turns around and notices SAN, and looks shocked and guilty. SAN glares at him.

Woman 1: Then say it again!

Woman 2: Say it, say it!

MIR:   (still gaping at SAN guiltily) Will you bear my child?

Women: (gushing) Don't tease me!

MIR:   (face turning blue in fear, thinking) S-She caught me again…!

Woman 1: Why did you choose us?

MIR:   (uneasy) B-Because of the attractive hips. Right?

MIR reaches for Woman 1's butt and gets slapped on the hand.

MIR:   Right?

MIR tries to reach for Woman 2's butt and gets slapped on the hand too.

Woman 2: You're kidding.

Woman 1: You're so bad, Priest.

MIR laughs uneasily and looks at SAN, who is walking slowly towards him.

MIR:   (thinking) It's strange… Normally, she would have violently attacked me by now. (worried, thinking) Why? Why doesn't she say anything? What does the talisman on her forehead mean? (fearful, thinking) Is it supposed to insinuate me?

Woman 1: (holding MIR's arm) Priest?

Woman 2: (holding MIR's other arm) Why did you stop talking suddenly?

MIR:   Because I'm between two beautiful ladies.

Women: (giggle) No…!

MIR:   (thinking) Please…! Please hurry up and say something! Why are you acting so strange?

Woman 1: Priest, sit here.

Woman 1 & 2 sit MIR on a bench outside a shop. MIR is now facing SAN.

Woman 2: The food here is very nice…

SAN walks up to MIR, fuming but not saying a word. MIR can't stand it anymore and falls to his knees.

MIR:   Please forgive me! Please scold me directly if you want to!

SAN:  (shocked) Y-You can see me?

MIR:   (pointing) And why is the talisman on your head? You're insinuating me, right? (whimpering)

SAN:  (shocked) Erm… Priest… Can you see me?

MIR:   What do you mean "can you see me", Sango?

SAN:  (embarrassed) That's impossible! I…

SAN sobs and runs off hurriedly.

MIR:   (arms reaching out) Sango!


Cut to SHI running across the courtyard of the mansion where INU and KAG are at. The spell gradually loses its power and SHI is visible again, but he doesn't know. He opens the window to one of the huts. KAG is bathing inside. KAG notices SHI, who makes faces and sticks out his tongue at her. KAG wipes her face with a towel. SHI grins and runs off. KAG looks at the window again.

KAG:  (bewildered) That was Shippo, right?


Cut to INU napping on the pavilion. SHI runs up to him quietly and drags the bowl of snacks under INU to himself. INU wakes and sees SHI eating the snacks happily. SHI finishes the snacks and INU gasps. SHI, thinking that INU can't see him, sticks two remaining dried fish up INU's nose. INU glares at SHI, who rolls on the ground, laughing quietly to himself. SHI is delirious.

INU:   (thinking) What's wrong with him?

SHI sniggers and leaps. He kicks INU on the forehead, leaving a paw print. INU doesn't move. SHI then runs and kicks INU in the face. INU is shocked. SHI lands and giggles quietly to himself. INU's face twitches in anger. SHI then runs back a few steps and runs forward, leaping high up to kick INU's face. INU slaps SHI, sending him flying into the pond in the courtyard.

INU:   Shippo! You seem to be enjoying yourself! (cracks knuckles)

SHI shivers in fear. The talisman and leaf fall off his forehead. SHI grabs the two and runs off, shrieking in fear. KAG walks up to INU.

INU:   That Shippo…! I wonder what's wrong with him! How dare he kicked me for no reason.

KAG:  It means that both of you are good friends.

INU:   How?!

KAG:  You and Shippo fight a lot because you two are friends… but you should hold back more since he's younger than you.

INU:   That doesn't matter to me! Keh!


Cut to SHI back in the mansion with EXO. SHI looks at the talisman and the leaf on the floor.

SHI:   I was careless. Inuyasha has a good sense of smell… so he must have sniffed me out…

EXO:  Perhaps the invisible demon doesn't have a good sense of smell.

SAN enters the room.

SAN:  Erm… Shippo…

SHI:   Yes, Sango?

SAN:  N-Nothing…

EXO:  It's almost sunset. I was asked to protect the treasures and scrolls of this house.

SHI:   Scrolls?

EXO:  Yes, the invisible demon steals scrolls and rolls of kimono fabric.

SAN looks down worriedly.


Nighttime. Cut to MIR, KAG and INU walking into the treasure room of the mansion they are guarding.

INU:   Okay! Well, we have eaten!

KAG:  And we have bathed!

MIR:   All we have to do now is wait for the thief to arrive.

KAG:  Will it come?

INU:   What if it doesn't work?

MIR:   I'm not sure.

KAG:  Are we going to guard the house without sleep?

MIR:   You can go and rest in the next room, Kagome.

KAG:  I'll stay awake for as long as I can.

INU:   It might not come here anyway.


Cut to EXO and SAN patrolling the courtyard of the other mansion.

EXO:  I wonder which house it will go to.

Something moves past them in the background. SAN swings around.

SAN:  Did you feel something?

EXO:  Nothing…

SAN:  (chagrins, thinking) I forgot that she's like this… (speaking) Anyway, where is Shippo?

EXO:  He made himself invisible and is waiting in the room.

SAN gasps.

EXO:  Even if the demon arrives, he'll be safe by his invisible mode. (walks away)

SAN:  (looks to the treasure room, worried) Shippo!


Cut to treasure room, where SHI is guarding alone. SHI is seated in the middle of the room, with the talisman and leaf on his forehead. Suddenly the lamp in the room goes out. SHI starts to perspire worriedly, but tries to upkeep his composure. Suddenly a paper thin man slithers through the gap of the door sideways and flies into the room. He sucks in a lot of air and begins to fatten himself out. He notices the scroll of painting on the wall. Ignoring SHI, he floats towards the painting and rubs his cheeks against it affectionately. SHI starts kicking his butt. The thief ignores SHI as he is almost ten times bigger then him. The thief then gathers a bunch of scrolls and is about to walk off. SHI leaps to kick him, but the thief merely slaps him. SHI is sent crashing through the door. The thief walks out clumsily with the scrolls.

SHI:   Oh no, the scrolls… Fox Fire!

SHI leaps and throws a fox fire at the thief, which pops into a puff of smoke. The thief groans. The puff of smoke dissipates to reveal multiple SHI, who are each taking a scroll away from the thief.

Thief: Who are you?

SHI:   You can see me? (takes down the talisman and leaf) That's too bad…

The rest of the Shippos throw smoke bombs and disappear. SHI leaps and lands a distance away.

SHI:   Sango! Old hag!


Cut to SAN and EXO, who hear SHI's cry and run towards the treasure room. KIR, however, doesn't follow them, but changes into her fierce form and flies off.


Cut to SHI grabbing two scrolls and running away from the thief. The floating thief lands in front of SHI and opens his mouth wide at SHI. SHI is horrified and yells. Suddenly, HIR flies out and hits the thief, who falls to the ground. SAN and EXO arrive at the scene.

SAN:  How did he manage to get inside?

EXO:  He is not invisible either!

The thief struggles up and blows out air. As he blows, he gets thinner and flatter, till he is paper thin.

Thief: Give it to me… Give me the treasures.

When the thief is seen sideway, the paper-thin nature of his body makes him invisible.

SAN:  He disappeared!

EXO:  As I thought, an invisible demon!

SHI:   H-He is not invisible!

Thief: (flies next to SHI) Give it to me…

SHI gasps and backs away in horror.

EXO:  Demon! Where are you? (throws purifying salt around) Accursed demon! Where are you?

The thief continues to chase SHI.

Thief: Give me the treasures…

EXO:  Where are you? Are you here?

INU suddenly appears and grabs SHI. He lands on a branch in a tree.

INU:   Why are you running?

SHI:   Inuyasha!

INU:   You seem to be protecting the treasures well. (looks to the ground) Let's see…

The paper-thin thief is floating below. When seen from the front, the thief is visible. But when seen from the side, he becomes 'invisible'.

SHI:   (pointing) Inuyasha!

INU:   (jumps down and lands in front of thief) I found you.

The thief floats away from INU. INU leaps and lands in front of him, blocking his way. The thief whimpers and is about to float away but INU grabs his legs.

INU:   I won't let you go!

Thief: W-Why?

INU:   You have an unfamiliar smell!

KIR lands with MIR and KAG.

KAG:  Inuyasha!

MIR:   Inuyasha!

INU:   The mission is complete. What should we do with him?

Thief: Please forgive me…!

EXO:  I think… he should return all the treasures he has stolen!

[ End of ACT II: 21min 23sec ]


[ ACT III ]

Dawn. INU-gang, EXO and the thief are in a cave in a mountain. INU and SHI are sitting at the cave entrance. The rest are with the fattened thief, who gasps at the large mass of his loot.

Thief: I like these kind of things so I collect them!

SAN:  So many!

EXO:  Do you want to split them?

KAG:  We should give them back to the owners!

EXO:  Well, we'll still get some rewards…


Cut to outside of cave, where SHI and INU are.

SHI:   (disappointed) I thought I could use my magic…

INU:   You have the new demonic magic?!

SHI:   (takes out a lollipop from KAG's bag) But, you saved me in the end… I'll try again next time. (eats lollipop)

INU scoffs and looks away.


Awhile later. EXO and INU-gang are bidding farewell to the thief.

MIR:   Leave the place soon since you have learned the lesson.

Thief: Yes. Goodbye…

The thief blows air out and flattens himself. He then floats away.

KAG:  (awed) It's so thin…!

SAN:  That's why it seemed like he was invisible.

SHI:   I thought I could see a real invisible demon…

INU:   Stop being so stupid, Shippo.

SHI:   What do you mean stupid?

INU:   An invisible demon cannot be seen!

All: (awed) That's true!

Everyone looks at the thief floating away.

[ Preview for next episode ]

Hojo Akitoki ran into some trouble and asked us for help! He needs to seal the demonic Halberd of Yin and Yang, and hence he is on this journey!

He should be the ancestor of my classmate, Hojo! And Hojo showed us his family tree… There's actually a 'Kagome' in it…! Perhaps… Maybe I can't go back to the modern times and will have to marry Akitoki …!

Next on Inuyasha, "The Ancestor's Name is Kagome". Ha! Looks like a storm is brewing!
