Uh...it might be a good idea to return the bra...

Okay, well the show starts out with Kagome swimming in this little creek.  Myoga and Inuyasha watch from a tree, talking.  Inuyasha was complaining about not having found any jewel shards, even thought they left the village and went in search of them.  Suddenly, a little white monkey runs up and steals Kagome's clothes.  The trio tear after the little primate, and they meet Nobunaga, a directionally challenged vassal on a mission to save a princess that he just happens to be in love with.  Rumors have been circulating about the Lord she's married to because all the young ladies in the keep being summoned to the castle, but never coming back.  Inuyasha doesn't want to help him, but Kagome insists that they do.  Personally, I think she felt sorry for him because he kept walking off the edge of hills and landing on his head.  On it goes, and the trio break into the Lord's castle that the princess is married to.  The entire castle was under some hypnotic sleeping spell, and Myoga wakes the princess up by using his favorite method, sucking blood.  Then the "Lord" appears.  Myoga informs Inuyasha that he's no ordinary evil toad, he's the ninety-ninth toad of the ninety-ninth generation, and therefore is much stronger than he appears. 
Oh no!  Now I'm stuck in a bubble!
The toad carries the princess off to his secret room which just happens to have all the maidens in big, frogegg-like bubbles.  Myoga once again informs us what's going on, saying that the toad has them in these bubbles so that their souls ripen and he can eat them.  The discover this is true, and Inuyasha clobbers the toad over the head, and the Lord trapped inside comes to his senses for several minutes.  He begs Inuyasha to kill him, but Nobunga won't allow it.  Then, the toad takes the body over again and stabs Nobunga with his tongue.  Inuyasha is bulling, and won't help until Nobunga is willing to give him permission to kill the toad/Lord.  Well, Kagome and the Princess take off running, and the toad chases them.  Myoga once again pops up with useful information, telling Kagome to attack the toad with something hot so that it will separate from the Lord.  Well, Kagome eventually uses hairspray and a candle to make a flamethrower and the toad and Lord separate.  Inuyasha kills the toad and the pair have found their second shard.  The princess and the Lord have an emotional reunion and Nobunga is crushed that she's in love with him instead.  Nobunga decides to head home.  The final scene is a segment where Inuyasha comforts Nobunga and then they call Nobunga an "idjit" over and over and then Nobunga falls off a hill and it's over. 
Ow!  Ow!  Ow!  And they say hairspray is safe!
