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 60 Episode 61 Episode 62 Episode 63 Episode 64 Episode 65 Episode 66 Episode 67 Episode 68 Episode 69 Episode 70 Rewind Kagome returns from the present with some treats for the gang, and is a little surprised to see that Sango hasn't returned yet (see episode 57). At Sango's village, Sango finishes the repairs on her Hiraikotsu (see episode 56). She lays some flowers on the graves of her slain comrades (see episode 24). While laying flowers on the graves, Sango thinks back to a moment with her father. As she does, she dodges some rocks that were thrown at her and Kirara. Kirara chases after the culprits and sees that it's a pair of sisters, Sarina and Suzuna. The girls beg Sango to teach the art of demon slaying. They explain that their village is now overrun with demons. Sango at first declines but eventually gives in and decides to show them some basic techniques. The first technique she teaches the girls is how to smoke out demons. After that the sun begins to set so she takes them back to the village. Meanwhile, Miroku is getting anxious waiting for Sango and asks Kagome if caressing a girl's bottom can chase them away. In the middle of the night, while Sango slumbers, Suzuna and Sarina break into the village weapon house and steal all the weapons and demon bones. Sango catches them as they try to make off with the loot. The attack her and explain that they are actually from a village of ninjas, whose village was destroyed demons. And with their father's dying breath, he asked them to "Live on and strongly…"; since he died mid-sentence, they assume he wanted them to strongly continue to the village's "business". Before Sango can interject, the girls take off. Sango looks in the storehouse and sees that they took everything even the demon bones with lingering energy. Sango chases after the girls because those energized bones will summon other demons to them. Sango catches up to girls and tells them climb on Kirara before the demon's attack. It's too late, the demons appear and the girls go to fight them of, so their father would be proud. Sango realizes that no loving father would want his daughters to live like that, she tells the girls that their father probably meant to tell them to live on strongly and happily, much like Sango's father once told her. Suzuna is reluctant to believe that, but Sarina does. Sango begins to fight the demon's off, but there are too many. Luckily for Sango, Miroku and the others arrive and finish off the demons. Sango is pleased to see that her friends came looking for her. Suzuna, realizing what Sango said must be true, leaves with Sarina as the sun rises. After they part, Sango is touched to learn that Miroku was worried about her. Miroku further explains that he had a premonition that she would be in danger. He then proceeds to slyly rub her butt, which gets him a "thank you" slap from Sango. Back To Top As a aged dark priestess completes her curse on someone, Kagura appears behind her to recruit her and asks about her grudge against Kikyo. In the present, Kagome is utterly lost in all of her lessons, due to that fact that she's missed so many classes. After school at WcDnalds, Kagome's friends assume that she's upset about her jealous boyfriend (see episode 38) she tells them that it's about classes. They chit-chat for a while and Kagome heads for home. In the past, Kagura takes the priestess to meet Naraku. Naraku asks the priestess, whom he calls Tsubaki, if she'd be interested in doing him a favor. Tsubaki doesn't seem interested, but when Naraku offers to give her the Shikon no Tama, she quickly changes her tune. Tsubaki reverts into her younger self, Naraku figures that she sold her soul for a demon for eternal youth. In the present, Kagome packs her bags and heads back to the past. An impatient Inuyasha rushes to well to see what the hold up on Kagome's return is. As Inuyasha rushes off, the others sense something strange in the air. As soon as Kagome makes it out of the well, she is bitten by a snake which is Tsubaki's shikigami). Inuyasha arrives and sees Kagome tending to her leg and runs of to find what bit her. Inuyasha just finds a strange piece of paper. Nearby, the Shikigami returns to Tsubaki having successfully collected some of Kagome's blood. Kagura takes Tsubaki to her temple, where Tsubaki begins the next part of her plan. Later, Kagome gives the others her gifts from the present and suddenly she notices that her Shikon shards have turned black! The shards break out of the jar and impale themselves into Kagome's neck, causing her to faint. Kaede realizes that this must be the work of a dark priestess. Miroku and Sango go off to find the priestess. Naraku checks up on Tsubaki and warns that she seems to be underestimating Kagome as a reincarnation of Kikyo. Tsubaki then laments about Kikyo and how fifty years ago, when Tsubaki made her move for the Shikon no Tama because Kikyo's heart was in love with a half-demon (Inuyasha), thus weakening her powers, and her Shikigami was deflected back at her, by Kikyo's bow, which scared Tsubaki's right eye. Back with Kagome, Kagome is receiving orders from Naraku to kill Inuyasha! Inuyasha, restless, goes to follow Sango and Miroku to find this priestess. Just as he's about to leave, Kagome fires and arrow at him. As she draws another, she weakly tells Inuyasha to escape. Elsewhere, Naraku tells Tsubaki to use the curse to kill Kagome. Naraku is pleased with the results, which are causing Inuyasha much pain. Sango and Miroku find Tsubaki's general location, but due a convenient barrier they're progression is prevented. Elsewhere, Kikyo approaches the barrier and senses a familiarity from it. Kagome, with an arrow still pointed at Inuyasha, once again tells him to escape… Back To Top Tsubaki and Naraku look over the Shikon no Tama, blackened from corruption, with delight as Kagome's arrow remains drawn at Inuyasha (see episode 60). Kikyo enters Tsubaki's barrier (see episode 60) as Sango and Miroku look on, still unable to penetrate the barrier. Kagome once again orders Inuyasha to escape (see episode 60), Inuyasha refuses and charges towards Kagome. Suddenly, Kagome fires her arrow at Inuyasha. Naraku is pleased, however he soon falls to pieces as Kikyo shoots him, revealing that it was just a puppet (see episode 25). Tsubaki is shocked to see that Kikyo is there. Elsewhere, Inuyasha (who wasn't shot by Kagome's arrow) cradles the collapsed Kagome, who has regained her senses because Tsubaki is know distracted by Kikyo's appearance. Inuyasha and Kagome rush of to find Tsubaki. Tsubaki, thinks back to her failed attempt to steal the Shikon no Tama from Kikyo, who's heart was distracted by her love for Inuyasha, in order to make her beauty everlasting. After Kikyo reflected Tsubaki's Shikigami back at her, Tsubaki was angered by the scar it made and she sold her soul to a demon to prolong her beauty eternally. Tsubaki criticizes Kikyo for appearing in front of her unchanged, Tsubaki soon realizes that Kikyo is dead. Inuyasha and Kagome make it to Tsubaki's barrier, where Miroku and Sango are, Kagome breaks it with her arrow. Tsubaki is surprised to see that Kagome missed, again, and let Inuyasha live. Angered by this, Kikyo fires warning shots at Tsubaki. Kikyo then grabs a chunk of Tsubaki's hair and pulls at it, Kikyo tells Tsubaki that while she doesn't care about what she does to Kagome but if she does anything to Inuyasha, she will her. With that, Kikyo disappears. Inuyasha and the others arrive at Tsubaki's shrine are greeted by Tsubaki and her Shikigami. Miroku and Sango ask Tsubaki where Kikyo went, which shocks Inuyasha. Tsubaki explains that she was there about Inuyasha. Inuyasha puts Kagome down and charges at Tsubaki, as he is about unsheathe Tetsusaiga, Tsubaki pulls out the blackened Shikon no Tama and tells him that if he draws that sword she'll have to kill Kagome, who is still under her curse and is only mobile due to Kikyo's distraction. Inuyasha is disgusted by such deplorable tactics. Tsubaki releases a three tailed demon to attack Inuyasha and warns him that if he draws Tetsusaiga she'll kill Kagome! Back To Top Inuyasha continues his battle with Tsubaki's demon (see episode 61) and receives a gash in the gut from the monster's claws. Inuyasha manages to slice at the demon's right eye with his Blades of Blood (Hijinketsou). Angered, Tsubaki ups the dose of curse on Kagome. The demon regenerates and resumes its attack. Trying to eliminate what they believe to be the source of the curse, Miroku and Sango try to kill Tsubaki's shikigami but are unsuccessful. Sango rushes back to Kagome's side only to find that she's falling deeper under the curses thrall. Kagome suddenly awakens in her own time and is shocked to see that her family doesn't remember anything about Kagome's adventures in time and her friends also have no memory of her "two-timing boyfriend". As Kagome walks home, she passes a couple that looks strangely like Sango and Miroku and when she arrives home she sees a grandmother and grandson (who look like Kaede and Shippo) buy one of her grandfather's Shikon no Tama replicas (see episode 1). She feels a pain in her neck and collapses. The next morning, Kagome finds that she can't remember a chunk of her past and is baffled by the frequent pain in her neck and distant voices she sometimes hears. After school and her and Hojo are leaving, she follows an impulse she had and goes to where girls are learning archery from a teacher who bears a resemblance to Kikyo. "Kikyo" asks Kagome to shoot an arrow, she does and missed the bull's eye. Kagome asks who she (the instructor) is, and instructor just turns back and asks Kagome is. Kagome says that she is her (the instructor) and the instructor just turns it around saying yes she (Kagome) is her (the instructor). The instructor then asks if she still wants to kill Inuyasha and that she has to choose who she is. Kagome then re-awakens in the past. She then shoots an arrow at Tsubaki, but misses. Tsubaki laughs and dismisses her as a cheap substitute for Kikyo. Angered, Kagome fires her arrow again but misses Tsubaki. Tsubaki's demon then attacks Kagome, but Inuyasha saves her. Enraged, Inuyasha kills the demon with his Iron Reaper Soul Stealer (Sankontessou) and then manages to behead Tsubaki's shikigami. Tsubaki shows the group that has done nothing to alleviate the curse. She then releases several more demons from her eye (see episode 61) at Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango. As the three are fighting of the demons, Tsubaki's regenerated Shikigami attacks Kagome. Kagome uses her arrow and deflects Tsubaki's shikigami into her right eye, the same way Kikyo did 50 years prior. The force from the deflection knocks Tsubaki back and causes her to drop the Shikon no Tama, which purifies itself. Kagome is. now free from the curse. Tsubaki grabs the Shikon no Tama and flees on her few remaining demons. Elsewhere, Naraku observes this through Kanna's mirror and decides to give Tsubaki another shot at Inuyasha. Tsubaki, who is now drained of her powers, looks at the Shikon no Tama and vows to use it's endless power to kill Inuyasha and Kagome. As Inuyasha carries an exhausted Kagome and apologizes for the trouble being around him brings. Kagome, in return, tells Inuyasha she likes being around him. The group then reunites with Kaede and Shippo. Back To Top Tsubaki laments over her recent defeat (see episode 62) as she approaches her old priestess training school. At the gates to her school she is stopped by two young priestesses, Botan and Mimiji. Not sure of if she's a demon, they threaten to attack. She tells them she's a priestess and they welcome her. While she's at first unsure of what to them, when they offer to help she tells them of demon that's out for her life. At Kaede's village, after Kagome and the rest wake up, Kagome senses Tsubaki's Shikon no Tama and the group (Kaede included) takes off. Back at Tsubaki's alma mater, Botan and Mimiji pack their Priestess accessories and march off to face the demons. Inuyasha and the others come across a barrier that was erected by priestesses. Soon, the two priestesses emerge and size up their enemies. However, they accuse Kaede of being a demon and are instantly attracted to Kirara and Shippo's cuteness. They soon imitate an attack on the group with little paper shikigamis. The shikigami soldiers are no challenge to the group who effortlessly exterminates all but two. Those two manages to collect strands of Kagome and Inuyasha's hair. With those strands, Botan and Mimiji manage to make giant dolls that resemble Inuyasha and Kagome. Elsewhere, Tsubaki approaches a tower that, according to her late master, houses a strong ogre. Tsubaki is then approached by Kagura, who has come to collect the jewel (see episode 60). Inuyasha soon discovers that the two dolls have the same abilities as he and Kagome. After some debacle, the two dolls are finally defeated and the blast from the destruction of the two sends Botan and Mimiji flying. Miroku lecherously volunteers to stay behind and explain the situation to the now incapacitated priestesses. In order to keep Miroku on his best behavior, Shippo and Kirara stay behind as Kagome, Inuyasha, Sango and Kaede forge ahead to deal with Tsubaki. Tsubaki, with the help of a spell, opens the door to the tower. Kagura scoffs at Tsubaki's plan to use the Shikon no Tama to control the ogre within the tower. As Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango and Kaede make into the school, they see massive demonic energy emanating from the distant tower… Back To Top As Sango, Inuyasha, Kagome and Kaede arrive at the Priestess Training Ground (see episode 63), Kaede realizes that the Tsubaki they're dealing with today is the same one that Kikyo crossed paths with 50 years ago. Suddenly, Kagome detects Tsubaki's Shikon shard (see episode 62) coming from the tower (see episode 63). As the group rushes towards the tower they must fend off some Shikigami. Elsewhere, Shippo and Miroku convince Botan and Momiji (see episode 63) that Tsubaki has become a dark priestess, and they agree to help the others deal with her. After taking car of the rather weak Shikgami, Inuyasha and the others proceed to the tower. Kagura emerges from the tower. Sango sees this as proof that Naraku and Tsubaki were in league together. Kagura sicks a zombified warrior on the four. Inuyasha eventually defeats the demon, despite some intervention from Kagura. Kagura is driven off by Kagome and Kaede's arrows. Meanwhile on back of Kirara, Miroku, Shippo and the priestesses close in on the tower. Inside the tower, Tsubaki manages to free the ogre sealed with in (see episode 63) and absorbs into her eye (see episode 61 and 62) by luring it with the Shikon shard within it. As Inuyasha and the others arrive on the scene, Tsubaki transforms into the recently absorbed ogre. Now a giant ogre, Tsubaki attacks the group. Miroku soon arrives on the scene with the others. As an ogre, Tsubaki proves to be quite a challenge. She is eventually forced back into her human form by Inuyasha, who causes the devolution with the Bakuryuuha (The Backlash Wave). Tsubaki is remains confident as she still has the Shikon no Tama in her possession. Suddenly, one of Naraku's Saimyousho flies out of her eye, with the Shikon no Tama. Not wanting to loose the Shikon no Tama again, Sango hurls her Hiraikotsu at the insect. The insect is obliterated, however, Kagura swoops in and reclaims the precious jewel. With all of her power drained, and the demon retaining her youth death, a withered and dying Tsubaki, laments about what could she have done wrong to end up like this. Later as Botan and Momiji say their goodbyes to the group, Kikyo walks off into the trees. Back To Top After Miroku anti-climactically finishes off a Centipede demon, he and the others are invited to stay at a nearby village for doing so. That night at dinner, Miroku asks the village girls to bear his children. He is instantly freaked when a spunky elderly woman happily agrees and drags him off. After dinner, Inuyasha is visited by Myoga, who for once found Inuyasha. As everyone slumbers, Myoga sneaks around in hopes he won't be found. As Miroku tries to sleep he is interrupted by a little boy who tries to urinate on him, mistaking his room for the toilet. After he sends the boy on his way, Sango enters Miroku's room. Assuming she wants some late night "hanky-panky" he happily greets her. She then attacks him with Hiraikotsu. He runs out into the courtyard and continues to fend off Sango. Awoken by all the racket, Inuyasha and the others come out to help. Sango soon snaps out of it and can't remember a thing about the incident. The group remembers that reportedly the same thing happened to some other villagers, and they assume that the centipede they previously killed is somehow responsible. Not thrilled about the idea of seeing a demon, Myoga (who was hiding in Miroku's pajamas) jumps into Kirara's tail. Inuyasha and Miroku dig up the centipede, and reseal it, but are baffled as it appears to have not moved at all. Suddenly, Miroku starts to attack Sango. His attention is soon shifted to Kirara and he chases after her. Kirara proves to be too fast for Miroku as he trips in pursuit of her. He then comes to and also remembers nothing of his actions. All of a sudden, another centipede demon, assumed by Kagome to be the dead ones wife, attacks the group. Inuyasha easily takes the demon out with his Kaze no Kizu (Wind's Scar). Suddenly, Inuyasha starts chasing after Kirara and calls out to Myoga, demanding return to him. Shippo (who was riding on Kirara) jumps off, as does Myoga. However, Inuyasha appears in front of Shippo. He looks at him lovingly and explains that he would love he to be "his first" and starts to take off his shirt. Kagome "sits" him and he comes too, confused as to what just happen. It is soon revealed that female flea named Shyuga was controlling everyone. Shyuga was chasing after her fiancée, Myoga, who has been on the run for years "having affairs" with several beautiful women. Upset that Myoga was causing all the ruckus, Sango and the others say that they can only forgive him if he marries Shyuga here and now. Myoga shows no intention of doing such. Later on the wedding day, Shyuga is angered to see that at the last minute Myoga got some other flea to take his place, so he could take off on the back of a nearby cat. Angered, Shyuga chases after him. Back To Top Under the light of a sliver moon, Rin wishes to be together with Sesshomaru forever. Elsewhere, Kouga, Ginta and Hakkaku continue to search for Naraku, who Kouga vows to take revenge against (see episodes 39 and 40). Elsewhere, Kagura looks up at the moon, and longs for her freedom. The next morning, as Inuyasha sniffs for Naraku, Kouga appears and greets Kagome. Kagome "sits" the jealous Inuyasha, and flirts with Kouga a bit, just to humor him. When Kouga sees that Ginta and Hakkaku have almost caught up with him, he again takes off. Sango and Miroku realize that the new moon is tonight, and assume that Inuyasha's demon abilities are down because of it. The group almost unanimously decides to stay out of possible danger tonight. That night, as Kagura wonders through the halls of Naraku's castle (which are littered with the skeletons of former villagers) and notices that Naraku is no where to be found. Much to Kagura's surprise, Kanna also has no idea where Naraku is. Via Kanna's mirror, Kagura sees that Kouga is getting uncomfortably close to the castle, whose barrier is strangely fading. Kagura decides to go and kill Kouga and reclaim his shards (see episode 35). Kanna tells Kagura that since they are Naraku's tools, they should wait for his approval, Kagura just scoffs and runs off. Kouga is happy to find that Naraku's scent is fresh in the air. Suddenly, Kagura appears and attacks him with the skeletons from the castle. He fends them off at first, but Kagura soon traps him within a cyclone of skulls and spears. Kagura tells that he's trapped, he can either die from the spears and skulls or escape the winds and be sliced up by her. Ginta and Hakkaku look on helplessly, as they know they can't do any good. Unwilling to risk their own lives by fighting Kagura for her fan, they run to get Inuyasha's help. Elsewhere, the now human Inuyasha and Kagome sit by a fire and Kagome tries to explain her "flirting" with Kouga to Inuyasha. While inside a little shrine, Sango and Miroku sense Naraku's presence and plan on going by themselves and keeping Inuyasha with some "sit and beat" tactics. Outside, Kagome and Inuyasha hear Ginta and Hakkaku calling out for Kagome. Not wanting to see him as a human, Inuyasha hides. After they arrive, Ginta and Hakkaku explain Kouga's situation to Kagome. After hearing this, Inuyasha rushes out of the shine, beats up Ginta and Hakkaku and threatens them not to tell anyone his secret. Back with the battle, Kouga frees himself from the tornado only have Kagura soon remove the Shikon shards from his legs. When she hears Inuyasha and the group approach she flies away on her feather. Kagome tends to Kouga's wounds and Inuyasha threatens him to keep his human appearance a secret, though Kouga already knew about the half-demon as human trick. Elsewhere, Naraku lays in a pit of demon parts and he is well aware of Kagura's actions. As Kagura flies away, she thinks of Naraku's possession of her heart (see episode 40) and realizes that she someone that can kill Naraku for her. Suddenly she sees a shooting star, which reminds her of the gleam of Sesshomaru's Toukijin (see episode 45) and realizes that Sesshomaru has the power to kill Naraku. Soon, Kagura appears in front of Sesshomaru. As he begins to draw Toukijin, she tells him that she isn't here to fight. She then whips out Kouga's shards and offers them to Sesshomaru if he can kill Naraku for her… Back To Top Kagura offers to give Sesshomaru two Shikon shards, which she stole from Kouga (see episode 66) if he will kill Naraku, thus giving her freedom. He refuses. He tells that not only has he no interest in the Shikon no Tama, but he has no obligation to help her and she shouldn't rebel against Naraku unless she has the means to do so by herself. He suggests that she use the shards to fight Naraku. Angered by this, Kagura calls him a coward and runs off. After Kagome finished bandaging Kouga's wounds, the group decides to chase after Kagura and get Kouga's shards back.. As Inuyasha and the others are in pursuit of Kagura, Kagome tells Miroku that she detects that the Shikon shards are actually moving away from Naraku's castle. Miroku wonders was Kagura is up to. The group soon figures out that it is quite possible that Naraku's powers are weakened because he to is a half-demon! Meanwhile, as the various demons that make up Naraku are strewn across the floor, with her mirror, Kanna shows Naraku (or at least his head) Kagura flying away on her feather. Naraku is slightly angered that Kagura has chosen to betray him. While on her feather, Kagura reflects upon Sesshomaru's advice. As soon as Kouga catches wind of Kagura's location, he takes off ahead of the group. Only to be followed by Sango and Kirara. Kouga and Sango appear in front of Kagura. Kouga demands she return his shards. Clearly, she has no intention of doing that so she attacks him with her fan. As her winds are attacking Kouga, she ponders using the Shikon shards herself, as Sesshomaru advised. Soon, hordes of Naraku's demon descend from the skies. Sango takes a few out with her Hiraikotsu. Kagura looks up in awe, as she wonders if Naraku has sent those demons to help her or to kill her. Taking advantage of her zone-out, Kouga punches her across the face, which causes her to drop her shards. As Kouga rushes to retrieve his stolen shards, Kagura sends some deadly winds his way. The winds are successful in keeping Kouga at bay. Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku and Shippo then arrive at the scene. Inuyasha, who is still human, walks on towards the battle, despite Kagome's pleas. Inuyasha, seems to be in luck as the sun is beginning to rise. In hopes of finishing him off for good, Kagura sends a massive wind at Kouga. After the winds clear, Kagura is shocked to see that Kouga wasn't finished off. Instead he was saved my Miroku and Inuyasha. Kagura is equally surprised to see Inuyasha as a human. However, she sees Inuyasha as a human for but a second, as he soon reverts back to his half-demon form. Inuyasha whips out Tetsusaiga and easily cuts through the winds that Kagura sends at him. He then prepares his Kaze no Kizu (Wind Scar) to throw at Kagura. However, Naraku's demons create a shield, thus protecting Kagura from what otherwise would have been a fatal blow. Inuyasha is angered to see that Kagura has escaped. Kouga, furiously digs through the dirt and demon carcasses to reclaim the forgotten shards. Inuyasha tells Kouga to stay away from Naraku, Kouga reminds him of the pain Naraku has caused him (see episode 39) and takes off. A defeated Kagura returns home to Naraku's Castle. As she walks through the halls, she follows Kanna who slyly leads her to Naraku, who is hiding away in a little pit. Naraku pulls Kagura in with his tentacles. He tells her that she won't get a second chance if she does this again. Kagura promises not to do anything of the sort again. Later on, Inuyasha and the others continue on their journey. Back To Top One day while walking through a meadow, an arrow is shot at Shippo from a passing cloud. Attached to the arrow is a duel invitation telling Shippo to fight Soten, the last remaining Thunnder Brother (see episodes 9 and 10). Inuyasha and the other see the invitation and they leave for the location specified in the invitation, much to Shippo's dismay. Meanwhile, Soten laughs menacingly as he receive word from the cloud that the invitation has been sent. Back with Inuyasha, a petrified Shippo's slow movements aggravate Inuyasha, who then pushes Shippo towards the location with Tetsusaiga's sheath.Elsewhere, Soten, who is revealed to be a little kid, tells the cloud, which turns out to be his little pet dragon Koryu, his plans. His plans are very well researched and drawn out on paper with crude charcoal drawings. Koryu acts out the first part of the plan by pushing a huge boulder at the group, thus separating Shippo from the others. Koryu manages to capture Shippo in a net and whisks him off to Soten's castle. Miroku and Sango take off after Shippo. However, with help from some smoke, Koryu manages to get Kirara "drunk" causing her to lose control and plummet to the ground. On the ground, Miroku and Sango see the source of the smoke and realize that it was a trap. Koryu successfully traps the pair in a hole, with some help from a life-size doll of damsel in distress (Miroku's biggest weakness) over a pit. At the castle, Shippo is surprised (and relieved) to see that Soten is just a child. When Shippo calls Souten out being a kid, Souten just gets mad. Shippo proves his point by distracting him with a toy of his. This soon degrades to a war of drawings, as Souten and Shippo both flash their drawings at each other. Back with Koryu, his trap for Kagome and Inuyasha fails because his crudely made Kagome doll fails to "sit" Inuyasha. Inuyasha grabs hold of Koryu and demands that he take them to Souten. He refuses and tries to act all tough, which just aggravates Inuyasha. As a result, Inuyasha bops him on the head three times. That soon proves to be a bad move and Koryu transforms into a storm cloud and shoots lightning at Inuyasha and Kagome. Shippo and Soten are both exhausted from their doodle duel. Soten asks Shippo why his drawings have such vibrant colors. He explains that its because of the crayons Kagome gave him. Soten then tells Shippo that if he loses their duel, he has to hand over the crayons. Shippo agrees, and the duel is moved out side. Meanwhile, Cloud-Koryu sends a lightning arrow straight at Kagome. Inuyasha throws himself the path of the arrow and gets impaled by it. Back with the duel, Shippo and Soten throw their respective attacks at each other (Fox Fire and Lightning). Back with Inuyasha, much to Kagome's relief, Inuyasha gets up unscathed as the arrow is actually harmless. To get Koryu to revert back to his true form, Inuyasha just whacks him three times again. Now defenseless, Koryu has no choice but to lead the two to Soten's castle. When the three arrive at the scene of the duel, Shippo and Soten lie exhausted surrounded in seeds (Soten chucked heaps of acron-looking seed things at Shippo) and mushrooms (Shippo threw gobs of mushrooms at Soten). Inuyasha seems a little irritated to find out that Soten is a little kid. Kagome finds it cute and runs up to Soten and starts hugging the kid. When Kagome calls him a boy, she gets scolded by Souten, who is actually a girl! Kagome finds it all the more cute, while Shippo just finds it annoying. Shippo walks off and gives Soten his crayons. Later on, Inuyasha and the others join back up with Miroku and Sango, who managed to get out of their ditch. Later on, Soten draws a romanticized view of Shippo with her new crayons. Back To Top After Kagome struggles through a math test, her friends ask her about her relationship with her "boyfriend" (see episode 38). At WacDnald's, Kagome explains the various men in her life (Kouga, Inuyasha and Miroku) to her friends. That night Kagome enjoys one of her mother's home cooked meals and the comforts of a warm bath and her bed. While in the past, Inuyasha and the others sit by a campfire. Inuyasha realizes that Kagome is expected to return the next day. Elsewhere, Naraku (with Kanna at his side) asks a pulsing chunk of his flesh if it wants to be free. He then expels the chunk down a cliff and walks off. Later, the chunk of flesh appears in front of a group of camped out thieves. The thieves go to investigate the blob. They are soon greeted by a naked man who pops out of the flesh. The man has a spider scar (see episodes 21) on his back and lacks a face and a memory. The man soon slaughters all the thieves. The next day, Inuyasha smelling Naraku and blood rushes with the others towards the site of the slaughter. The group is horrified to discover that the faces of all the thieves have been cut off. By a distant stream, the faceless man tries on each of the thieves faces. After looking upon his reflection with the respective faces he throws them into the water due to the ugliness of the faces. He soon approached by a handsome wandering monk and his apprentice The monk instantly identifies him as a demon. As the monk tries to exorcise the faceless man, the man succeeds in ripping of the monks face. Pleased with his look, the man decides to keep the face. Throughout this, the apprentice looks on his horror and soon runs off in complete terror. He later stumbles upon a wandering warrior and steals his sword, armor and horse. Feeling an urge for a woman, the man ransacks a nearby village. After the heist, he still feels unfulfilled and goes off to find the next village. He soon stumbles upon Kaede's village. While looking down at the village he gets a flashes to Onigumo's cave and other places in the village and he wonders of what significance they could be. Before he can make another move towards the village, Inuyasha and the others arrive the scene. It is soon confirmed to the others that he is the one that killed the thieves. The man also calls him Muso, which turns out to be the name of the monk he killed. Inuyasha and Muso clash. Naraku looks on in delight as Muso and Inuyasha cross paths, because Muso is dangerous to Inuyasha. After the two battle for a while, Inuyasha succeeds in cutting off Muso's arm. The victory is short lived as Naraku's Saimyousho arrive and reform Muso's arm. Just then, Kagome rejoins the group after returning from the present. Inuyasha warns her to stay back since Muso appears to be one of Naraku's detachments. Seeing Kagome strikes a chord in Muso as he realizes that she is what he has been yearning for. With powers he gained from the Saimyousho his arm stretches out and he entangles Kagome in his grip. Back To Top With some help from the Wind Scar, Inuyasha liberates Kagome from Muso's grasp (see episode 69). The blast also succeeds in ripping Muso to shreds. However, when the dust clears, Muso is no where in sight. Kaede soon arrives on the scene, bewildered as to what just happened. Inuyasha privately wonders if he actually finished him off. Elsewhere, Kikyo comes across the boy that was traveling with the priest Muso (see episode 69). The boy is obviously in shock and manages to tell Kikyo about how the face-stealing demon had a spider scar on his back (see episodes 21 and 40). After watching this in Kanna's mirror, Naraku unchains Kagura (see episodes 66 & 67) and orders her to go after Muso, her brother. Meanwhile, Muso reassembles himself in a strange place. After his reforming, Muso finds something about the name Inuyasha familiar. Back with the others, a worried Inuyasha gives Kagome permission to go home. The others agree because they don't know what Naraku is planning and it'd be safe for her to go into hiding. Elsewhere, the naked Muso comes across a wandering samurai. He then makes his way towards Onigumo's cave (see episode 20) in the samurai's armor. Once inside the cave he feels a sense of familiarity about it. Kaede decides to pay a visit to Onigumo's cave and decides to Kagome tags along. Assuming Kagome is homeward bound, Inuyasha and the others begin searching for Naraku's castle. Suddenly Kagura appears in front of the group and tells them that Muso is at Onigumo's cave. Miroku tries to find out if Kagura divulged Inuyasha's secret (see episode 67), but Kagura leaves before he can. As she flies away she realizes that Muso isn't controlled by Naraku, like her. In the cave, Muso's memory begins returning to him. He runs outside after hearing Kagome's voice and announces his desire for Kikyo! Muso then attacks Kaogme and Kaede, Kaede confirms that he is indeed Onigumo. As Onigumo is about to get Kagome with his Extendo-claw, Inuyasha saves her in the nick of time. Onigumo then goes on to explain what he did when he finally got the body he wanted (see episode 21). The group realizes that the demons that joined with Onigumo all shared a desire to kill Kikyo. Onigumo explains that after he killed Kikyo, he was sealed into a dark place, until his recent reawakening. Onigumo tells Inuyasha that he'll kill him and Kagome. Onigumo and Inuyasha then start to fight. Kikyo is soon visited by Naraku, who now is no longer bound Onigumo's feelings for Kikyo. In order to demonstrate, Naraku tries to kill Kikyo, his one true desire. His arm starts to act up and he realizes that he hasn't totally rid himself of Onigumo. Meanwhile, Kagura watches the battle with Onigumo. Inuyasha once again sends a Wind Scar his way, only to have Onigumo reform as a scorpion-esque creature and impale Inuyasha! Back To Top |
