Here are some Episode summaries. If we dont have an episode summary for an episode, and you wish to write one for it, then you can send it to me and I'll be very grateful! :) Episode 22 Episode 23 Episode 24 Episode 25 Episode 26 Episode 27 Episode 28 Episode 29 Episode 30 Episode 31 Episode 32 Episode 33 Episode 34 Episode 35 Episode 36 Episode 37 Episode 38 Episode 39 Episode 40 Episode 41 In the present, Grandpa, out of habit, keeps telling Kagome's friends that she has some disease when they call. Kagome reprimands Grandpa for lying when she's at home. Kagome then leaves for her date with Hojo. On her way out, she checks the well and wonders what Inuyasha is doing. Royakan knocks Inuyasha back causing him to drop the large Shikon shard. But before Royakan can claim it, Shippo takes it and runs only to be chased by the wolves. Shippo makes it to the well and hides there. In the present, as Kagome walks down the stairs she feels a Shikon shard, she rushes to see if it's Inuyasha, but it's not and when she looks at her watch she sees that she's late for her date with Hojo. At lunch with him she can't thinking about Inuyasha. Hojo thinks that she's still sick and is forcing herself to come. Kagome soon splits and returns home. In the past, Inuyasha fights hard to beat Royakan but just can't. Kaede figures that since Kagome isn't there, Inuyasha can't fight at his best. In the present, Kagome digs at the dirt at the bottom of the well to find the Shikon shard. In the past, the shard glows and Kagome returns to the Warring States Period, pleasing Shippo immensely. However the reunion is cut short as the wolves start climbing down the tree in the well. A the Battle Field, Inuyasha senses Kagome and suddenly becomes stronger and easily knocks Royakan down. Inuyasha rushes to the well and removes the tree and shoves it into Royakan's mouth knocking him out and getting rid of the wolves. Kagome hugs Inuyasha and tells about how concerned she was. Inuyasha tells her that he didn't want he coming back and Kagome starts to cry. Miroku and Kaede are pleased to see Kagome return. Kaede tells Miroku how it's odd that the bees suddenly disappeared. Off in the distance, Naraku confuses Kagome for Kikyo. Kagome then senses a lot of Shikon shards. They all rush off in the direction of the shards. Inuyasha realize that it's Naraku. When Naraku addresses Kaede by name she concludes that Naraku is Onigumo! Naraku explains that when he was Onigumo he was obsessed with Kikyo and many demons were attracted to his evil thoughts. The demons then entered his body, becoming a part of him giving birth to Naraku. He explains that he was angered that Kikyo fell in love with "a worthless half-demon." Naraku then drove a wedge between the two. Naraku tells Inuyasha, that Kikyo died despite the fact that she could've stayed alive by using the Shikon no Tama. This angers Inuyahsa so he charges at Naraku who jumps into the air. Inuyahsa uses his "Iron Reaper, Soul Stealer" on Naraku destroying the Baboon skin revealing the true Naraku. Naraku releases a black mist that kills the nearby tree. When the two land back on the ground. Inuyasha uses Tetsusaiga on Naraku and his cuts of Naraku's shirt revealing a scar in the shape of a spider on his back. Naraku then disappears. Later on, Kaede assumes that the scar is all that remains of Onigumo. Kagome removes the shards from Royakan, who then skips off. As Inuyasha sits on nearby tree limb, Kagome wonders how the news of Kikyo choosing to die will affect Inuyahsa. Back To Top Miroku gets the gang another mansion to spent the night at, but this time he didn't lie about sensing an evil aura. They are there to protect the soul of the dead princess. Earlier that day, while teaching some children about healing herbs, Kikyo is approached by two monks, who believe she is a demon. The elder monk, Seikai, approaches Kikyo and "accidentally" drops a scroll to exorcise demons and asks Kikyo to pick it up. She does and after Kikyo picks it up Seikai notices that all the writing on the scroll disappears. As Kikyo and the children walk away, Seikai accuses Kikyo of being a demon and tells her to go back to her own world. Kikyo and the children just walk away. At sunset the four arrive at the village where the villagers are grateful to have priestess with them. Kikyo thinks back to her revival and her confrontation with Inuyasha. She then one of the children she was with, Sayo, if she likes her. Sayo does. Back with Inuyasha and the others, they've yet to see any signs of demonic activity. Miroku volunteers to look after the younger princess. He takes Shippo along with him due to him being cute, however the princess proves to be too much for Miroku to handle. Inuyasha and Kagome stay and watch the dead princess. Eventually, the princess' body rises from her bed and a snake-like demon enters the room and steals her soul. The demon is quickly killed by Inuyasha. However, they notice that there are more Soul-Stealers outside. Miroku comes running saying that it's time for them to go and the young princess chases after. Sayo lies awake in her bed and figures that what the monk told Kikyo must really have bothered her because she wasn't her cheerful self afterwards. Sayo then notices Kikyo leaving the village, she quietly follows. Kikyo ends up by a lake and the Soul-Stealers deliver the souls to Kikyo much to Sayo's surprise. Seikai approaches Kikyo again, this time he tries to use a ball with a dragon on Kikyo. A dragon wraps itself around Kikyo, Kikyo gets angered by this and breaks the dragon, one of its claws goes into Seikai's neck. The terrified younger monk runs off. Before Seikai dies, he tells Kikyo that she doesn't belong in this world because she's dead. Kikyo notices Sayo, who is freaked by the whole incident. Kikyo apologizes to Sayo for having her see it and then walks off. The next day, Kagome is irritated that Inuyasha doesn't care about the whole Soul-Stealer thing because "he doesn't get anything from it." Kagome then notices the unconscious body of the young monk floating down the nearby river. She forces Inuyasha to rescue him (she pushes him in). When the monk awakes he mistakes Kagome for Kikyo and is again terrified. When he realizes that Kagome isn't Kikyo, he tells the gang about the evil priestess, Kikyo. Inuyasha is instantly intrigued and runs off to find Kikyo. Kagome, Shippo and Miroku stay behind to wait. After Miroku says something to upset Kagome she walks off. The sky suddenly turns dark and the Soul-Stealers appear with fresh souls. The three run after them, but only Kagome can get through a mysterious barrier that has been raised. In the barrier, Kagome sees Kikyo receiving the souls. Back To Top Inuyasha arrives at the river the monk told him about and finds Kikyo's hair ribbon. Meanwhile, Kagome approaches Kikyo, who soon wakes. Kikyo is surprised that Kagome broke through the barrier. Kagome sees the Soul-Stealers arrive and deduces that Kikyo is the one stealing souls. Kikyo asks Kagome is Inuyasha is with her and asks what she is to Inuyasha. Before Kagome can respond, Kikyo paralyzes her calling her an obstruction. Inuyasha arrives at the barrier but can't get through. Kikyo has Kagome tied to a tree with Soul-Stealers. Kikyo opens the barrier so Inuyasha can get through. Kikyo tells Kagome that he is coming her, not Kagome. Kagome realizes that Kikyo still wants to kill Inuyasha. Kagome tries to explain to Kikyo that Naraku is to blame for her death, not Inuyasha. Kikyo doesn't care, she wants to make sure Inuyasha never forgets her. Kagome tells her that hasn't forgotten her, in fact he still loves her. Kikyo loves Inuyasha but loves her hatred more so she wants to be related to Inuyasha through their hatred. Inuyasha arrives, and can't see or hear Kagome who wants him to tell Kikyo about Naraku. Inuyasha walks up to Kikyo and is shocked to see that Kikyo is truly alive. Inuyasha realizes that she is the soul collector, she tells him that since her body is made of mud she can't move well without the souls. And that her hatred awakened her and is why she stays in this world. Inuyasha explains that even though she might hate him he has never, ever forgotten her. Upon hearing this, Kagome realizes that she lost Inuyasha. Kikyo hugs then kisses Inuyasha. She wishes she could stop time, he says its okay since its with her. Kagome starts to cry and tells Kikyo to let her go so she can leave. Kikyo then starts to suck the now unconscious Inuyasha into hell. Kagome demands that Kikyo stops because Inuyasha wants to live and kill Naraku for her. Kikyo breaks her spell on Kagome. Kagome tells Inuyasha to wake up. Kagome tells Kikyo to stop, this causes Kikyo's souls to leave her. Kikyo starts sucking Inuyasha into hell faster. Kagome tells her to stop. Inuyasha eventually wakes up and sees Kagome, he breaks away from Kikyo and runs to Kagome and kills the Soul-Stealers surrounding her. Kikyo realizes that Inuyasha chose Kagome and tells Inuyasha that she didn't lie about her feelings when she kissed him and departs. Kagome tells Inuyasha that she saw everything and is going home. Inuyasha is confused by "everything." Kaede receives a visit from Kikyo. Kikyo asks her about Naraku, after hearing it all Kikyo leaves and tells Kaede that she noticed that Inuyasha's eyes look calm unlike with her. Kaede tells her that Kagome has slowly calmed his heart. The next day, Kagome returns home. Miroku asks Inuyasha what exactly did Kagome do. He tells Miroku what he'd do. Kagome returns to the past because she forgot her bag and overhears Shippo and Miroku asking Inuyahsa who he'll choose. Inuyasha wonders if can choose both. Miroku tells him that he can only if he's careful. Kagome just tells him to sit. Back To Top As a centipede demon attacks a village, the villagers call for the exterminator. She approaches and using her boomerang, kills the demon. She discovers that is had a shard on its body. As she leaves she tells the villagers that all the payment she need is the Shikon shard, since her village is its origin. That night, Miroku, Shippo and Inuyasha talk about the Shikon no Tama by a fire. When Miroku finds out that Inuyasha wants to be fully demon he asks if he'll be the same person. Since he wants to protect Kagome, which is why he wants more power, will he be a good demon if he does? The next day, Inuyahsa and the others arrive at the village were Sango killed the centipede. Inuyasha is shocked to hear that the Shikon shard is already gone. After hearing about the exterminators, the four leave to find the village. Sango returns home and is greeted by her cat, Kirara. Her brother, Kohaku, tells her that their father want to see her. They go to see him, Sango gives him her shard and he puts it in a shrine. He tells Sango that they need to find a someone to purify the shards since the one they went to 50 years ago (Kikyo) died. As the siblings leave, Kohaku is informed that since he's 11 he'll go out with the exterminators on their next mission. Later on, Sango assures Kohaku that he'll do fine. That night, Sango, Kohaku, their Father and some other exterminators arrive at a manor to kill the demon spider (no, not a Spider-Head) that appears every night. Off in another room in the manor, the lord's sickly son is informed of the presence of the exterminators that will kill the demon who's presence has caused his illness. The spider then comes from the sky and spits some webbing, after fighting through the webs, Sango easily kills the demon. The other exterminators then go to gather useful parts of the spider's body. However and piece of webbing attaches to Kohaku causing him to kill all the exterminators except Sango. Sango asks him why he did that and is notices that he doesn't recognize her. She notices that the web thread on Kohaku's neck connects to the lord. Sango goes to attack the lord, but is stopped when Kohaku stabs her in the back, literally. Kohaku then snaps out of if. The lord tells his men that the exterminators have gone mad and they should die. The guards shoot Kohaku, killing him. Sango is crushed but that soon ends when the guards shoot her. Suddenly, the lord's son kills his father, who was actually possessed by a demon. He orders that the exterminators be buried in the garden. As Inuyasha and the others approach the village they see a swarm of demons in the sky and they follow. At the manor, Sango crawls from her grave, the son sees this and brings her in to his room. The demons attack the exterminators village, killing everyone. Naraku appears and the demons attack him, but they are just absorbed by him (like with Onigumo), Naraku then takes the shards from the village and leaves. The next day, Inuyasha and the others arrive at the village and see the signs off the massacre. They are approached by a huge cat, but after Myouga tells Kirara that she isn't threatened she reverts to her small cute self. Kagome decides to bury the villagers they do. Myouga tells the gang that he came he to find out about the Shikon no Tama but on the way here he kept on seeing images of a White baboon. Meanwhile, Naraku arrives at the manor and tells the son that the exterminator village was attacked and everyone was killed by a half-demon named Inuyasha. Overhearing this, Sango gets up and vows to kill Inuyasha! Back To Top Naraku escorts Sango to her village. However, due to her injuries Sango is having a hard time keeping up. Naraku gives her a Shikon shard to help her. Inuyasha and the others dump the corpses of the demons who attacked Sango's village into the cave where the Shikon no Tama was made. Much to Inuyasha's dismay a barrier prevents him from entering the cave. Miroku suggests that they find the remaining Demon Exterminators and get them to lower the barrier. As the group walks through the woods, they are interrupted by a large boomerang cutting down several trees in front of them, revealing Sango. Sango attacks Inuyasha. Miroku tries to draw Sango's Boomerang in with his "Wind Tunnel", but the appearance of Naraku and his bees prevents him from doing so. Inuyasha and Sango resume their battle. Miroku attacks Naraku and succeeds in cutting of his arm. As the arm makes its way back to Naraku it rips the Shikon shard off Kagome's neck. Naraku then flies off. Sango notices Kirara and tells her to follow Naraku (she doesn't trust him) she transforms into fire cat and follows after Naraku. Miroku also chases after Naraku. Sango attacks Inuyasha again, when Sango uses her anti-demon gas, Inuyasha cuts off her protective mask, and then carries her out of the gas. Sango stabs Inuyasha in the arm and then notices how much she is bleeding. The only reason she didn't know was because the Shikon was blocking the pain. She then faints. She remembers a conversation with Kohaku about being scared when fighting demons. Miroku's pursuit of Naraku is halted when he reaches a ravine, however with a little help from Kirara he continues the chase. Naraku sees this and from him sprout many roots from his body. Sango wakes up on Inuyasha's back and Kagome explains that Inuyasha is actually good guy. Inuyasha arrives in the battlefield to see Miroku and Kirara fighting of Naraku's roots. She realizes that Naraku tricked her. When Sango attacks Naraku, he removes the Shikon shard, letting loose all the pain from her wound, Sango is thus unable to attack. Inuyasha gets into the battle and cuts off Naraku's head; but the body and the head keep moving. Sango tells Inuyasha that it's just a puppet (In other words it's not the real Naraku, but a minion to do his work.) Inuyasha destroys the puppet leaving only the Shikon shards and a little wooden doll with Naraku's hair around it. Meanwhile at the mansion where the real Naraku is, a wooden doll, just like the one with the puppet, breaks. The servants tell the young lord (who is really Naraku) that Sango and Naraku haven't returned. When the servants depart, Naraku explains that he knows what really happened and leaves his quarters and as he does he magically puts on the baboon skin. Back To Top Inuyasha vents his frustration to Miroku about Sango being unable to tell them where Naraku's castle is. Miroku explains that Naraku probably made her forget, he also tells him that Sango has physical and emotional wounds to heal. Kagome finds Sango at the graves of the villagers. Sango offers to show Kagome and the others the cave where the Shikon no Tama was born. At the cave, Sango reveals that the barrier can be passed through only if your heart has regret towards those who died due to the Shikon no Tama. All except Myouga get through the cave. In the middle of the cave there is what looks like a statue of a priestess surrounded by many demons. Sango explains that the Shikon no Tama represents the spirits of Courage, Friendship, Love and Wisdom in everyone. Sango explains that the priestess, Midoriko, had the power to purify demons. A the end of a lengthy 7 day battle, Midoriko took the souls of the demons and put them in her heart, and then she ejected her soul and the demons' souls from, her body as the Shikon no Tama. Inuyasha assumes that the reason Midoriko lost was because she ran out of energy. Sango reveals that Midoriko's battle with the demons continues within the Shikon no Tama, so Midoriko hasn't lost yet. Inuyasha boasts that her struggle will be over when he uses the Shikon no Tama to become a full demon, thus ejecting Inuyasha from the cave. Sango explains that when her village got a hold of the Shikon no Tama, it was so desecrated that they went to a priestess named Kikyo to purify it. Miroku tells Sango that Naraku killed Kikyo. That night, Myouga takes the Shikon no Tama and rides on Kirara to look at the cave. Myouga tells Midoriko that he does feel regret for those who died, but in his long live he has seen so much death that he is hardened by it. Myouga drops the Shikon no Tama, awakening the demons in the cave, Kirara transforms and combats the demons. Outside the cave, the others realize that the Shikon shard, Kirara and Myouga are missing and rush off to the cave. In the cave, Myouga sees Midoriko defeat the demons, but it is actually Inuyasha. After the battle, Inuyasha reprimands Myouga and then leaves. Kirara however, stays behind at rests at the base of the statue. Kagome then narrates over a scene where Midoriko stands in a meadow. Kagome states that Midoriko must've had a someone with her in the battle with the demons. As Kagome says that, Kirara appears next to Midoriko and the two walk off. Back To Top After searching the area, Shippo returns to the others and tells them that he found a huge castle in the middle of a lake, which might belong to Naraku. The group starts on their way to the castle, they enter a village that is recovering from flood damage. They notice that are bringing a child to the lake as a sacrifice. They learn from the village leader, Nanushi, that it is to appease the water god. Who will destroy their village if they don't send child sacrifices for it to eat. They offer to help, but the leader tells them to leave. The group of men continue to carry the sacrifice away. After the sacrifice leaves, a boy approaches the group and tells them that if they want to help, follow him. They do, the boy explains that he is Taromaru, Nanushi's son who was chosen to be the sacrifice. But Nanushi used the servants son, Suekichi, to take Taromaru's place as the sacrifice. Taromaru says that Suekichi is his best friend and he doesn't want his friend to die in his place. The group agrees to help. That night, the group goes to the Water God's castle (which is the one Shippo saw). In the Water God's throne room, the god realizes that the boy in front of him isn't the son of Nanushi, but a servant boy. Suddenly, Inuyasha and the others storm in. Taromaru offers himself to the Water God, but Inuyasha attacks the God with Tetsusaiga. The God whips out his weapon (a trident) and when Tetsusaiga strikes it, its transformation breaks. The God then uses his trident to send the group into the lake around his castle. Kagome, Shippo and Taromaru are sent back to the throne room. Kagome shoots an arrow at the god which reveals the bone on his hand. Kagome, Shippo, Suekichi and Taromaru run off to hide. Meanwhile, Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha discover that the god they saw is actually a snake from the lake who god a hold of the true god's trident. The Fake God sealed the real one way in a stone. Inuyasha returns to the castle to save Kagome, while Sango and Miroku free the real god. Inuyasha attacks the fake god, just as he is about to kill Kagome. Sango and Miroku free the god, and discover that it is actually a very small goddess. They then rush back to castle. The fake god sends tornadoes towards the village. After a lengthy battle, Inuyasha gets the trident back from the fake god, returning back into the giant snake that it was. The goddess gets her trident back, returning her to normal size. Miroku sucks the snake into his "Wind Tunnel" and the goddess stops the tornadoes. The next day, Taromaru tells Suekichi that he wants to be just like the gang. Meanwhile, the gang walks on the road leaving the village and Miroku rides on a horse pulling a wagon of things they got as a reward. Back To Top As, Sango and the others work to exterminate a demon, Miroku gets distracted by a beautiful girl and follows her. After the demon is killed, Kagome and Sango are irritated to hear that Miroku was distracted by a girl. The girl tells Miroku that she is a princess who must marry a man, to become her prince. The girl soon turns into a mantis demon, but Miroku easily sucks the demon into his "Wind Tunnel." However, as he sucks the mantis in, his Wind Tunnel gets cut. That night, Miroku sneaks off and rides Hachi to the temple where he grew up. It was also where Miroku's father was sucked in by his own Wind Tunnel. At the temple and meets his surrogate father, Mushin. Mushin repairs Miroku's Wind Tunnel and tells him that he shouldn't use it again, or he might be sucked in it. Inuyasha and the others discover that Miroku left early that morning. As they wonder where he went, Myouga shows up and informs the gang that he saw Miroku worriedly look at his Wind Tunnel and leave. On their way to find Miroku, Sango sees one of Naraku's bees in the sky, she tries to kill but only succeeds in cutting off two of its wings. Before she can swing her boomerang again, Inuyasha tells her not to so they can follow it. Later that day, Mushin runs into a demon who using a jar injects Mushin with an odd mist. Mushin attacks Miroku with a cleaver while he sleeps, but Miroku wakes up before the cleaver can cut him. Mushin tells Miroku that if he kills him, Naraku will give him a shard of the Shikon no Tama. Miroku runs off with Hachi, Miroku takes refuge by his father's grave and tells Hachi to go. Hachi flies off and is attacked by Naraku's bees. Hachi falls to the ground in front of Inuyasha and the others. Hachi takes the others to Miroku. Meanwhile, Mushin attacks Miroku with about one hundred demons. But before they can attack Miroku, Inuyasha kills a bunch with Tetsusaiga. Sango, Kagome, Shippo and Hachi rush to Miroku. Kagome notices the mist coming from Mushin's mouth, Myouga informs her that Mushin must be under the control of a Jar Master. The only way to free him is to find the Jar Master's jar and face towards Mushin. Kagome, Shippo and Sango run off to find the Jar Master. Kagome sees the Jar Master atop the roof of the temple. Kagome fires an arrow at it, but the Jar Master dodges it. Mushin uses a set of giant beads to break Tetsusaiga's transformation and to keep Inuyasha down. Mushin unleashes more demons, Miroku decides to open his Wind Tunnel, he tells Hachi that they might also be sucked in. Hachi tells Miroku that he is prepared to die by his master's side. Miroku sucks the demons in, and his Wind Tunnel cracks even more. Mushin is shocked to see that Miroku opened his Wind Tunnel. Miroku falls to the ground. Inuyasha breaks free from the beads. Inuyasha then saves Miroku. Inuyasha tells Miroku that as long he is around he won't let him die easily. Mushin unleashes even more demons, Inuyasha then picks up Tetsusaiga and wipes out the mass of demons with one swing (like what Sesshomaru did in episode 18), much to everyone's surprise. The Jar Master runs off, but is quickly killed by Sango's boomerang. Shippo then grabs the jar and frees Mushin from the Jar Master's control. The next day, Miroku rests after Mushin did his repairs to Miroku's Wind Tunnel. In private, Mushin tells Inuyasha that Miroku's Wind Tunnel has some cracks he can't repair, so Miroku might die soon. Shippo, Kagome and Sango all gather around Miroku as he wakes up. He looks at his hand in shock, Sango asks him what's wrong, but she soon discovers it was all a ruse so Miroku could get some fondling in. Sango then punches him on the head. Inuyasha walks in and tells Mushin that he doesn't see Miroku dying anytime soon. Back To Top In the present, Kagome rushes off to school just as grandpa came up with a good illness. At School, Souta comes to Kagomes rescue he delivers the textbooks she forgot. Meanwhile at Naraku's castle, a poison bee tells Naraku about Inuyasha wiping out the demon army. Naraku then commands a boy to be prepared to kill: Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango. Elsewhere, Inuyasha tries to get Tetsusaiga to perform the Kaze no Kizu (see episode 28) again. The next night, Kagome and Sango sneak of to take a bath while Miroku and Inuyasha are busy having a serious conversation. During their bath, Kagome learns of Kohaku and the circumstances surrounding his death (see episode 24) and Sango learns that Kagome is the one who shattered the Shikon no Tama (see episode 2). The next day, as the gang is ready to begin the day's journey, a man with a mortal wound at his side collapses and dies in front of them. They follow the blood trail and end up at a village where everyone has been slaughtered. Sango deduces that the houses and ground are rigged with explosives. Inuyasha whips out Tetsusaiga and starts destroying houses. From the wreckage of one, Kohaku emerges, much to Sango's shock. The blood on Kohaku's clothing and weapon (the throwing sickle thing) confirms that he massacred the village people. Kohaku leaves, while chasing after him Inuyasha accidentally steps on a mine causing a wall of smoke to prevent his passing. Sango then takes off on Kirara and enters a barrier, meant to keep the others out. In the barrier, Sango catches up to Kohaku. Naraku appears behind Kohaku and tells Sango that he has placed a Shikon shard in his back and erased his memory. Naraku tells Sango that if she brings him Tetsusaiga, he will let Kohaku live forever. Naraku then takes off with Kohaku. A distressed Sango meets up with the others. They decide to spend the night at the village and Miroku, upon Sango's request, will hold a memorial service for the dead. That night, after much internal struggle, Sango decides to steal Tetsusaiga! Back To Top Inuyasha wakes and is surprised to see Sango awake, she tells him that she couldn't sleep. Inuyasha tells Sango that he's going to kill Kohaku and he's sorry to. Sango denies that the boy was Kohaku. Inuyasha tells her that he understands her side. Kagome overhears this and assumes he is speaking from his experience with Kikyo. Miroku informs Inuyasha that they are surrounded. Outside, Kohaku approaches with an army of demons. Inuyasha attacks and kills a couple of demons, then Kohaku attacks Inuyasha. Inuyasha has the clear advantage. Kagome tells Inuyasha not to kill Kohaku, so he sticks Tetsusaiga in the ground and starts punching Kohaku. Kohaku tells Inuyasha to kill him for he deserves it for killing his father and the others (see episode 24). Kohaku takes his throw-sickle and stabs his back in order to remove the Shikon shard. Sango throws Hiraikotsu, it hits Tetsusaiga (breaking its transformation) and it lands close Sango. Sango picks it up. Kohaku then leaves on demon-back. Sango with Tetsusaiga in hand leaves on Kirara following after Kohaku. The two siblings disappear in a ball of light. Inuyasha can still smell Kohaku's blood, so the group takes off. At Naraku's castle, Sango approaches Naraku (after dropping Hiraikotsu upon his request) and he gets Tetsusaiga and attacks Sango, but she reveal that she had a blade attached to her wrists so she can fend off Naraku's attack. She manages to remove the baboon skin and much to her surprise she sees that Naraku is really the young lord, Hitomi Kagewaki (see episode 25). Kirara bites into Naraku's shoulder but as she does a poisonous is released breaking her transformation. Kohaku then appears in front of Sango. He attacks Sango, she is hit many times by his blade. Meanwhile, Inuyasha and the others arrive at the castle and rush in upon hearing Sango's screams. Sango falls to the ground. Hiraikotsu returns to her, she reaches for it. Naraku hopes that Sango will kill Kohaku bringing forth the beautiful glow of the corrupted Shikon no Tama. Sango just can't bring herself to do it. Kagome and the others arrive. Miroku realizes that Sango and Kohaku are like Inuyasha and Kikyo because Naraku tired to split them apart through hate. Naraku then traps them in a tornado of poisonous gas. Sango gives her gas mask to Kohaku to protect him. Kagome senses Naraku's shards and fires and arrow at him. The arrow becomes a Hama no Ya (literally means ‘Arrow that destroys evil') and breaks through the cyclone and hits Naraku. Naraku notices that Kagome's power is just like Kikyo's. She fires another arrow and it strikes Naraku in the chest. Naraku then disappears with his castle and Kohaku. Later on, Inuyasha and the others realize that castle must've been an illusion. Inuyasha retrieves Tetsusaiga. Sango tries getting up to leave, but she can't go far with her injuries. The gang tells her stay. Sango apologizes for putting them through that. Sango turns around breaks down and cries on Kagome's lap. Back To Top Sango is surprised that Kirara is still down from Naraku's poison (see episode 30). Myouga informs Kagome and Inuyasha about an herb that can help heal Kirara. Meanwhile, a girl is attacked by a demon while walking through the woods. Miroku and Shippo stay back to look after Sango, while Kagome and Inuyasha look for the herb. Kagome and Inuyasha come across, villagers carrying the corpse of the girl away. The villagers blame a demon named Jinenji for the crime. Inuyasha and Kagome offer to help take care of Jinenji. The two are taken to the farm of Jinenji. Inuyasha steps up to fight him but is shocked to discover that Jinenji is just a harmless half-demon, whom the villagers pick on. After the villagers run off, Inuyasha and Kagome learn from Jinenji's mother that the villagers constantly attack Jinenji. Jinenji gives Kagome the herbs to heal Kirara. As Kagome and Inuyasha leave the village they come across the villagers planning an attack on Jinenji. Kagome tells the villagers to hold off on attacking Jinenji until she and Inuyasha investigate the situation. Kagome goes to spend time with Jinenji. Jinenji develops a slight crush on Kagome. Meanwhile, Inuyasha finds a bunch of recently hatched demon eggs, and deduces that the mother must be taking her babies to get a taste for human blood. When night falls, the villagers and the demons attack Jinenji's house. Kagome uses her arrows to hold off the mother demon but is knocked back. Jinenji attacks the demon to prevent Kagome from being eaten. Inuyasha kills the demon babies, and prevents the villagers from running away so they can see Jinenji kill the demon. After the battle, Jinenji gives the villagers herbs to heal their wounds. The next day, Inuyasha and Kagome leave the village. Kagome gets a look at Inuyasha's soft side after asking him about growing up as a half-demon. Later that day, the villagers help Jinenji and his mother rebuild their farm. Back To Top As Kikyo tends to some wounded soldiers, she is approached by a man. Who asks her to come and heal their lord, Kagewaki (see episodes 25 and 30). She agrees and is taken Kagewaki. Kagewaki (it's actually Naraku) is surprised to see that Kikyo is alive (see episode 14). Meanwhile, a conversation between farmers is interrupted by it raining blood and demon parts. After the rain, Inuyasha and the others are learn of the bloody rain from villagers. They decide to investigate, they see a castle covered in evil energy. Sango says that the energy must be Naraku's. The group rushes of to the mountain. In the castle, Kikyo tells the man that recruited her that she is unable to heal Kagewaki/Naraku. When she starts to leave, the guards stop her because Kagewaki/Naraku told them to keep her around. On the mountain, the evil energy outside a cave becomes too dense for the healing Sango (see episode 30) to continue. Miroku and Inuyasha enter the cave while the others stay behind. In the cave, Miroku and Inuyasha come across a pit with the corpses of many demons. From the pit emerge two surviving demons, one with horns and one with a spiked back who engage in combat. The horned one wins and after his victory, the demons parts fuse with making him a Kodoku. The demon wonders why he hasn't been freed from the cave, which is what is supposed to happen after defeating all the demons. Kodoku sees Inuyasha and Miroku and assumes they are demons for him to defeat. Inuyasha attacks the Kodoku, much to Miroku's dismay. Meanwhile, Kikyo uses one her soul snatchers to kill guard outside her cell. She then escapes. She enters the cave and is followed Kagome and Kirara. In the cave, the souls leave Kikyo and enter Kodoku. Kikyo collapses and falls into the pit with Inuyasha. Outside the cave, Naraku and his bees lay in wait for the Kodoku to break seal atop the cave and become apart Naraku's new body. Kagome comes in on the scene just as Inuyasha declares that he'll protect Kikyo. Kagome enters the pit to rescue the unconscious Kikyo. As Kagome reaches Kikyo, she awakens. Inuyasha is about finish off the Kodoku, but an arrow (from Kikyo) bounces off Tetsusaiga and up towards to hole in the ceiling. The seal breaks causing a vacuum sucking Inuyasha, Kikyo, Kagome and the Kodoku upward. Outside the cave, the Kodoku fuses with Naraku making his new body. Naraku takes the unconscious Kikyo and flies off with her, much to Inuyasha's dismay. Back To Top A barrier around Naraku's castle prevents the Soul-Snatchers from delivering their souls to Kikyo. Naraku gives Kikyo a soul with a Shikon shard in it so she will do his bidding. Meanwhile, upon seeing the Soul-Snatchers in the sky, Inuyasha and the group follow them. After cutting one of the Soul-Snatchers in half and seeing it turn into one Naraku's bees, Sango realizes they have lead into a trap. After being enveloped in a fog, the gang is split. Inuyasha finds himself reliving his attack on Kikyo's village, 50 years ago. Miroku finds himself being sucked into his own Wind Tunnel. Shippo chases after the gang but he finds only their clothes on the ground, leaving him all alone. Sango finds two cadavers, one of Miroku and the other Inuyasha, she turns around and killed by Kohaku. Meanwhile Naraku tells Kikyo that he has set up deadly illusions for Inuyasha and the others. Kagome, however, seems to immune from the affects of the spell. Kikyo kills Naraku, but it turns out to be just another puppet. Kagome approaches Kikyo. Kikyo shoots an arrow at Kagome, it barely misses. The arrow hits the ground and opens up a huge hole, Kagome falls in. Kikyo's Soul-Snatchers bring Kagome to the top. Kikyo walks up to Kagome and tells Kikyo that Naraku is stupid to think that a shard of the Jewel she purifies could control her. Kikyo then takes Kagome's shard. The Soul-Snatchers holding her turn into vines. Meanwhile, Inuyasha hugs the Kikyo in his illusion and tells her that he'll protect her. Then he sees and image of Kagome and realizes that he needs to protect her too. Kikyo then attacks Inuyasha, Inuyasha that it's an illusion, thus defeating it. He hears Miroku's cries and rushes to his aid. In the vision Miroku is sucked into his Wind Tunnel and the illusion is over. Inuyasha runs over to Miroku and sees that he is truly frightened. Inuyasha commands Miroku to get Sango and Shippo while he saves Kagome. Inuyasha arrives at Kagome's location. Inuyasha is shocked to see that Kikyo took Kagome's shard and then tried to kill her. Kikyo leaves and Kagome is freed from the vines and Miroku walks up with Sango and Shippo (both unconscious on his back). Later at Naraku's castle, Kikyo gives Naraku the shard from him and Kagome. She then tells the demon Naraku, no wait it's the half-demon Naraku that Onigumo still remains within him. He explains that he wants to use it so he can be a full demon. As Kikyo leaves she tells Naraku that if ever needs her again, just call for her. Meanwhile, Naraku gets frustrated that no matter how many times he switches bodies, Onigumo's spider-shaped burn always appears on his back. As the sun rises, Kikyo stands in a field thinking to herself how her soul is free to love and to hate. Back To Top Myouga informs Totosai about Inuyasha mastering Tetsusaiga (see episode 28). Jaken and Sesshomaru that Totosai has run away so he wouldn't have to make a sword of Sesshomaru. The next day, Kagome is depressed about her Shikon shard being stolen (see episode 33). Suddenly, Totosai appears riding a three-eyed cow. Totosai tells Inuyasha to draw Tetsusaiga, he does and attacks Totosai. Totosai knocks Tetsusaiga back with his hammer. Inuyasha attacks again but his sword is blocked by a piece of cloth. Totosai tells Inuyasha that he s misusing Tetsusaiga. Myouga explains to Inuyasha that Totosai created Tetsusaiga. Much to Inuyasha's dismay, Totosai thinks that Inuyasha isn't worthy of Tetsusaiga so he should take it back. Myouga tells Inuyasha that he should be nice to Totosai, so he can learn to master Tetsusaiga. Totosai then says that he is being followed by someone. That someone is Sesshomaru who soon arrives. Totosai tells Sesshomaru that is he can kill Inuyasha, then he'll make him a sword. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru battle. When Sesshomaru holds the clear advantage over Inuyasha he asks Totosai if he'll make him the sword now. Totosai tells him he won't and tells that he already made him a masterpiece. Sesshomaru calls his sword useless. Totosai then uses his hammer to create a diversion so he and the others can escape. That night, Totosai explains that when Inuyasha's father came to him to make Tetsusaiga from his fang, he also told him to make Tenseiga. Unlike Tetsusaiga which can kill 100, Tensaiga can revive or heal 100. Elsewhere, Sesshomaru demonstrates Tenseiga's abilities on Jaken. Then a sea dragon attacks, the dragon is easily killed by Sesshomaru. From the corpse of the dragon, Sesshomaru takes the dragon's arm. The next day, Totosai leaves Inuyasha and the others to go home. However, he comes running back when Sesshomaru attacks him. Sesshomaru turns his hostility towards Inuyasha. Inuyasha strikes him with Tetsusaiga, but the blade is blocked by Sesshomaru's new dragon arm. Sesshomaru tells Inuyasha that he'll never master Tetsusaiga if he can't find the Wound of the Wind (Wind's Scar in the dub.) Back To Top Inuyasha is knocked back by Sesshomaru's attack. Sesshomaru attacks Tetsusaiga with his dragon arm. Totosai realizes that Sesshomaru's goal is to break the Tetsusaiga! When Sesshomaru goes in for the break, Inuyasha uses his head to block the attack. Sesshomaru releases poison from his hand in Inuyasha's face, temporarily blinding him. Blinded, Inuyasha sees the Wound of the Wind. Inuyasha slashes into the Wound of the Wind, hitting Sesshomaru. Before he has the chance to die, Tenseiga takes Sesshomaru to safety. Later, Totosai repairs Tetsusaiga and informs the others that Tenseiga most likely prevented Sesshomaru from dying. Elsewhere, an injured Sesshomaru is approached by a little girl (Rin), whom he scares off with a demonic growl. That night, Rin gives Sesshomaru water and food. Rin goes to get a fish from the river in her village but is caught by the villagers. The next day, Rin goes to Sesshomaru who notices her wounded eye and asks her what happened, Rin just smiles. Meanwhile, Kagome senses a Shikon shard. Elsewhere, Rin returns to her hut and sees a demon in it, he didn't anyone lived in that hut. He senses that ‘they' are coming and starts to run. Soon enough a pack of wolves attacks some villagers and chase the demon into a river. A human-looking wolf demon (Kouga) approaches the demon. The frightened demon hands over a Shikon shard and is then killed by Kouga. As Kouga departs he tells the wolves to kill whomever they wish. The wolves start massacring the villagers, right in front of little Rin's eyes. Later, Rin is being chased by the wolves in the woods. Rin hopes to get to Sesshomaru before the wolves get her, but she trips and the wolves close it. Jaken, aboard a two headed dragon, looks for Sesshomaru. He eventually finds him (actually Sesshomaru finds him). Sesshomaru smells blood and wolves and walks off to find out why. Sesshomaru comes across Rin's body. Sesshomaru uses Tenseiga to revive Rin and then walks off, with Jaken and Rin following behind him. Inuyasha arrive at the village where Kagome no longer senses a Shikon shard. Inuyasha fights off some wolves while the remaining wolves just howl. Suddenly, a large tornado appears, from the tornado emerges Kouga. Kouga is revealed to have three Shikon shards, one in his right arm and one in each leg. Back To Top Kouga attacks Inuyasha because he killed some of his wolves. During the battle, Kagome warns Inuyasha of the three shards Kouga has (see episode 35). Kouga is surprised that Kagome knew that. Kouga and Inuyasha continue to battle. When Inuyasha prepares to use the Wind's Scar (see episode 28, 34 and 35), Kouga senses the power and runs off. The others tell Inuyasha that he probably ran off because he sensed the power of the Tetsusaiga. That night while digging graves, Miroku tells Inuyasha he disapproves of the fact that Inuyasha plans to become a full demon with the Shikon no Tama (see episode 1). The next day after a clever distraction, Kouga kidnaps Kagome who happened to have Shippo on her shoulder. After running quite a ways, Kouga and Kagome run into some bird-like demons. Kouga asks Kagome he she senses and Shikon shards in the demons, she doesn't and Kouga runs off. Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku follow a trail of crying mushrooms left behind by Shippo. Kouga arrives at his cave with Kagome. Kouga warns the others not to touch Kagome. He then throws Shippo to the wolves. Kagome tells him if anything happens to Shippo that she won't help. Kouga saves Shippo from being eaten. Some injured wolf demons are brought into the cave. Kouga explains to Kagome that as of late the ‘Birds of Paradise' have been becoming very aggressive and attack wolves and wolf demons. Kouga assumes that a Shikon shard is the reason for their hostility. Shippo is shocked to see that the wolves have found his mushrooms. Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku are surprised that the trail of mushrooms has vanished. Suddenly they are attacked by the Birds of Paradise. Back To Top Shippo disguises himself as Kouga so he and Kagome can escape. His disguise is quickly seen through. With the other wolf demons on to him he and Kagome make a break for it. The two make it to a cliff where they're cornered by the wolf demons. Kagome throws Shippo off the cliff (because he can become a balloon) and tells him to get Inuyasha. The wolf demons are about to attack Kagome when Kouga appears and tells them to stop. Kouga hugs Kagome and declares her as his woman. Kagome slaps him and tells him that it's rude to claim someone. She explains that there is someone else that she likes, Inuyasha. Kouga tells her that he'll kill Inuyasha so she can forget about him. Elsewhere, Inuyasha and the others fight off the ‘Birds of Paradise'. The three assume the birds are allied with the wolf demons, so Inuyasha gets captured by one so they can lead him to Kagome. Miroku and Sango follow on Kirara and they soon run into Shippo. Shippo explains the whole situation. Inuyasha breaks free from his captor and the four go off to save Kagome. Kouga, Kagome and the other wolf demons prepare to lead an attack on the ‘Birds of Paradise'. As a hordes of ‘Birds of Paradise' come out, Kagome leads Kouga to the Shikon shard that she senses. It turns out the shard is in the mouth of the head ‘Bird of Paradise'. The leader attacks Kagome and Kouga but they manage to dodge. Kouga picks up a weapon and prepares to attack the leader he orders Ginta and Hakaku to take Kagome to safety. Before they can, Ginta is taken by a ‘Bird of Paradise', using a nearby bow and arrow Kagome saves Ginta. Then a group of the birds move into kill Kagome, Ginta and Hakaku. Inuyasha appears and saves the trio. Kouga tells Inuyasha that he showed up at a bad time because he needs focus on killing the head bird. But he tells Inuyasha that he'll kill him soon enough because he's fell in love with Kagome and plans to kill him so Kagome can fall in love with him. Kouga then proceeds to attack the leader. Kagome tells Kouga that it's hiding above him. The leader the swoops down from the sky and attacks Kouga. Kouga jams his weapon in the birds mouth but the leader clamps down on his right arm. Kouga soon breaks free but the bird was able to get the shard in his arm. Inuyasha then kills the leader with the Wind's Scar (see episode 34). The wolf demon the retreat. Inuyasha wants to fight with Kouga but Kagome won't let him. Kagome explains to Inuyasha that the wolf demons actually aren't that bad. Inuyasha then storms off. Kagome retrieves the two Shikon shards from the remains of the head bird. Sango tells Kagome that Inuyasha was really worried about her so she should try and cheer him up. Kagome goes over to Inuyasha and explains to him that she has no feelings for Kouga. Inuyasha then asks what *really* happened between the two of them. Kagome is angered by Inuyasha's mistrust and decides to go home. Back To Top Kagome is still upset from fight with Inuyasha during dinner with her family. The next day, Kagome goes to school and her friends show he that while Kagome was out with ‘Economy Class Syndrome' a freshmen girl has been friendly with Hojo. When her friends see that she isn't jealous they assume that she likes someone else. Back in the 1500's, Sango and Shippo wait for Kagome by the well, Inuyasha hangs around Kaede complaining about the situation with Kagome (see episode 37) and Miroku reads the palms of the village girls. Later, Miroku tells Sango and Shippo that they should stay away from the well because if Inuyasha sees them waiting around he'll probably never go and get Kagome. Back in the present, Kagome tells her friends about the boy she likes. She explains that he's jealous, violent, still likes his ex and once told one of her guy friends that he'd kill him and despite that he has a good side. Her friends think that Kagome should break up with him. In the past, Inuyasha jumps into the well thinking no ones around but unbeknownst to him Sango, Miroku and Shippo are spying on him. In the present, he sneaks into Kagome's room. Souta sees him and asks him what happened with Kagome because she has been mad ever since she returned. Kagome returns home and Inuyasha decides to split and he tells Souta not to tell her that he was there. The next day, Kagome's friends set her up on a date with Hojo for Saturday, the day she was planning to return to the past. With Inuyasha's permission, Shippo uses crayon drawings of a dog, a cat and a wolf to get Kaede's opinion on the current Inuyasha-Kagome situation (see episode 37). Kaede suggests that dog should apologize to the cat because the cat is most likely waiting for the dog's apology. Inuyasha then returns to the present, once again. Kagome decides to take a break from her studying, so she sets her alarm and takes a nap. Inuyasha enters through her window and sees that she's sleeping. Suddenly, Kagome's alarm clock goes off. Inuyasha panics and ends up breaking it while trying to stop it. Before Kagome wakes up, Inuyasha is long gone. Kagome knows he was there, however, because he left his footprints on her rug. The next day, Kagome cancels her plans with Hojo but not before she makes it sounds like she was jealous of the freshmen girl. Kagome then returns to the past where Inuyasha apologizes to Kagome for breaking her clock. Kagome is surprised that that's all but Inuyasha asks what else should he be sorry for. Kagome starts to get mad but before she can yell at him, Sango, Miroku and Shippo jump out of the bushes and tell her to be quiet. Inuyasha learns that they've been spying on him all this time and chases them around. Back To Top Kagome sees Shippo's drawings of the dog, cat and wolf and learns that not only did he show Kaede he showed the entire village. Elsewhere, some wolf demons from the northern pack try and convince to got with them to storm a castle were a there's a man with a ton of Shikon shards. Kouga refuses to go. However, some demons in his pack want to go so they go with the demons from the north. Inuyasha on the others are in search of a large bear demon who has a Shikon shard. The bear demon soon appears, but before Inuyasha can finish it off, Naraku's bee's take the jewel and pick the bear's body clean. Miroku suspects it's a trap. So does Inuyasha, but he doesn't care as long as he finds Naraku. The group then follows the bees, presumably to Naraku's castle. At Naraku's castle, a woman walks around and prepares for a trap set up by her master that involves a Shikon shard. The group of wolf demons arrive at the castle and are shocked to see no guards. The soon see the woman, they move to attack but a quickly wiped out when she sends razor sharp energy from her fan, killing them all. Later that night one of the wolf demons from the attacking party, returns to Kouga with a horrible wound. The demon tells Kouga to get there before every dies and he hands him the Shikon Shard he found at the Castle. Kouga takes the shard, puts it in his wound (see episode 37), and takes of to the castle. After Kouga leaves, the other demons prepare to tend to the wounded demon's wound but the demon's wound begins to foam and the demon's upper half falls off. Inuyasha and the others and are shocked to see the mass amounts of corpses. The woman waves her fan slightly and the corpses revive. The corpses attack Inuyasha and company, they see that no matter how they attack the corpses just don't die. The woman senses that Kouga is approaching, so she has the corpses fall apart around Inuyasha. Kouga arrives at the castle and sees that Inuyasha is standing amongst the center of the demons, covered in their blood! Kouga blames Inuyasha ant attacks him. Miroku, Sango and Kagome realize that this is all a trap set up by Naraku to get Kouga to kill Inuyasha. While Inuyasha is distracted (he's looking for Naraku) Kouga punches Inuyasha. Inuyasha dodges and Kouga's fist hits the ground which sends a mass of energy from his fist. Inuyasha realizes that Kouga must've found another Shikon shard. Kagome senses that shard in Kouga's arm isn't a shard at all but something different. Sango and Miroku enter the castle to look for Naraku. The see the woman in there, she introduces herself at Kagura. Kagura takes off and leaves the rest to a puppet Naraku left behind. Back To Top Sango and Miroku fight the Naraku puppet (see episode 39) and Inuyasha and Kouga continue their fight (see episode 39). Kouga, with help from a Shikon shard (see episode 39), beats Inuyasha. After Kouga thinks he's killed Inuyasha, Kagura approaches him and brings the corpses of the dead wolf demons (see episode 39) back to life, Kouga then realizes that she was the one who killed his comrades. Kouga prepares to attack Kagura but finds he can't move! Kagura explains that the Shikon shard in his right arm is a fake is made from crystallized miasma. Taking advantage of Kouga's situation, Kagura attacks Kouga, cutting him in several places. She then prepares to take the shards in his legs. Suddenly, Kagome fires an arrow at Kagura. Kagura uses the corpses as a shield and blocks the arrow. Kagura attacks Kagome, who is saved by Kirara. Kagura prepares to attack Kagome but Inuyasha steps up and tells her that he is her opponent. Inuyasha is disgusted that Kagura smells just like Naraku! Inuyasha whips out Tetsusaiga and jumps at Kagura. He slashes at her but using her wind tricks she manages to block Tetsusaiga. Kagura explains that she's a wind user and she controls all the winds in the castle. Kagura attacks with her "Dance of the Dragon Blades" technique. Inuyasha prepares to perform the Wind's Scar (see episode 34) but soon realize he can't since Kagura is controlling all the winds in the castle. When Kagome fires an arrow, which misses Kagura, it starts to purify the winds. Inuyasha sees that Kagome's arrows will help him perform the Wind's Scar. Upon Inuyasha's request, Kagome fires an arrow at him. Inuyasha is now able to see the Wound of the Wind and attacks Kagura. The attacks manages to rip off some of Kagura's kimono. But before it can do anymore damage Kagura flies away. As she's leaving Inuyasha notices a spider shaped scar on her back! Meanwhile, Sango and Miroku finish off Naraku's puppet. Later with help from one of Kagome's arrows, Kouga is freed from the poison of the fake Shikon shard. Kagura returns to Naraku. She is angered that he didn't tell her about Tetsusaiga's special power. She realize that he was using her to test Inuyasha, so in a way he tricked her. She attacks Naraku, but any further attempts at his life are thwarted when Naraku reminds Kagura that she was revived through him and that since he has her heart (literally) he can kill her whenever he wants. Back To Top As Kagome puts bandages on Inuyasha's wound (see episode 40), the group discusses Kagura's relation to Naraku (see episode 40). Naraku tells Kagura to depart for her sister already has. Meanwhile, a girl in white holding a mirror walks through the forest, surrounded by Saimiyosho. The next day, men are looking for a girl named Koharu who refused their masters advances. They find Sango, they decide to take her with them. Inuyasha soon appears and chases the men away. Koharu (who was hiding behind some weeds) comes out and thanks them. When the girl sees Miroku, she is overjoyed. Three years earlier, when Koharu was 11, Miroku came to her village. She worked hard for an oil merchant and rarely got any food. However, Miroku gave her some food and asked her to bear his child. Miroku then had to leave the village. Koharu further explains that recently the oil merchants son had taken a liking to her, but she refused his advances and ran away. Koharu tells Miroku that she is now ready to bear his child and that the hope that he would someday return is what has kept her going. Koharu wants to come with Miroku on his travels, but she can't because she'd be in too much danger. Miroku convinces the chief of a nearby village to let Koharu stay with them. As Miroku says his goodbye to Koharu, Inuyasha notes how tense Sango has been ever since Koharu has shown up (which Sango denies). After much ado, Miroku agrees to stay with Koharu for the night. That night, after Koharu tends to Miroku's bath she goes off to prepare dinner. On her way she runs into Kanna(the girl with the mirror). Later that night, while Inuyasha and the others are enjoying Koharu's dinner, they soon realize that they are surrounded by something other than demons. Inuyasha, Miroku and Kirara go out to investigate and end up fighting of hordes of villagers. Inside the house, Koharu tells Kagome, Sango and Shippo that the chief and his wife were attacked by a demon. The three go and investigate; Sango sees Kanna and throws Hiraikotsu at her. Due to a barrier that Kanna erected (via her mirror), Hiraikotsu is then thrown back at Sango knocking out (Shippo is also knocked out because Sango falls on him). Kanna then begins to steals Kagome's soul, as Koharu restrains Kagome. Outside, Inuyasha and Miroku continue to fight the villagers, being sure not to kill them. They soon discover that Kagura is controlling them. Kagura explains people without souls can be controlled just as easily as corpses (see episodes 39 and 40). She further explains that Kagome's soul should be absorbed by now. Inuyasha fends off Kagura's Wind Blades while Miroku checks on Kagome. In the castle, Miroku finds an unconscious Koharu. Koharu soon comes too and hugs Miroku, unknown to Miroku, Koharu is ready to stab him in the back! Back To Top |
