Kagome becomes ill and is advised to return to her time in order to recover and get better. Her schoolmates ultimately drop by for a visit to console her. InuYasha, who is very concerned for her health, gathers many ingredients from the dwellings of many demons. Kagome must study for the high school comprehensive exams, minding the fact that she is still sick. InuYasha concocts a very odd medicinal cure (one that his mother created when he was a child) using the ingredients, which relieves her common cold instantly, allowing her to take the comprehension exams.
