Episode 53- Father's Mortal Enemy, Ryuukotsusei

Inuyasha travels to Totosai's so he can make Tetsusaiga lighter (see episodes 44 and 45). Kagome told Inuyasha about the Tetsusaiga's seal on his blood. Inuyasha arrives at Totosai's and asks him how he can make Tetsusaiga lighter so he doesn't have to transform anymore (see episodes 43, 45, 51 and 52). Totosai tells him that if he defeats Ryuukoytsusei, a demon his father was only able to seal, Tetsusaiga will become lighter because he will have surpassed his father and then Tetsusaiga will no longer be weighed down by the weakness in his fang. Myouga leads Inuyasha to the location of Ryuukoytsusei. Meanwhile, Naraku watches Inuyasha through Kanna's mirror and decides that since all of his detachments have failed (see episodes 39, 40, 42, 42, 43 and 46) to kill Inuyasha, it might be worth it to try Ryuukoytsusei. Elsewhere, Kagome and the others search for Inuyasha. They find across Totosai and he tells them that he's in the Valley of Ryuukoytsusei. Inuyasha arrives at Ryuukoytsusei. Myoga tells him that all he has to do is cut out his heart. His heart is under Inuyasha's father seal is (one of his fangs). One of Naraku's puppets arrive and breaks the seal, freeing Ryuukoytsusei! After learning that Inuyasha is the son of the demon who sealed him from Naraku, Ryuukoytsusei kill the puppet and attacks Inuyasha. Kagome and the others sense the massive demonic aura coming from Ryuukoytsusei and run to Inuyasha's aid. In the battle with Ryuukoytsusei, Inuyasha tries to slice Ryuukoytsusei where the seal was but to no avail, Ryuukoytsusei has skin as hard as steel! From Myoga, Inuyasha learns that in the battle with Ryuukoytsusei, his father received a mortal wound and thus was only able to seal the beast. Inuyasha insists on fighting and Myouga runs away. Inuyasha and Ryuukoytsusei continue to fight. On their way to the battle, Miroku and the others find Myoga. Totosai explains that the only way Inuyasha could possible defeat Ryuukoytsusei is with the Bakuryuuha, Tetsusaiga's ultimate attack. Eventually, Tetsusaiga is knocked away from Inuyasha. Kagome and the others arrive on the battlefield, but they noticed that Inuyasha is separated from Tetsusaiga and is starting to transform!

He gets a hold of Tetsusaiga, which is still incredibly heavy. As Inuyasha reverts to normal, he feels Tetsusaiga getting lighter. He then springs into action and manages to jab Tetsusaiga into Ryukotsusei's chest. Despite the chest wound, Ryukotsusei continues to attack. Inuyasha unleashes the Wind's Scar on Ryuukoytsusei, which he can now perform at will, which doesn't even effect Ryuukoytsusei. Despite Totosai's advice, Inuyasha continues his attack on Ryuukoytsusei, realizing that doing so will make him surpass his father. Ryukotsusei unleashes a might attack on Inuyasha, who charges at it head on. Inuyasha realizes that he'll have to cut right through it. As he does, the energy from the Wind's Scar and Ryukotsusei's attack combine. The fused energy is sent back at Ryuukoytsusei and it rips him to pieces. After witnessing this, Totosai realizes that Inuyasha just performed the Backlash Wave (Bakuryuuha). After the remaining pieces of Ryuukoytsusei dissolve, the others arrive and congratulate Inuyasha. Totosai accepts that Inuyasha may be better than he thought. Totosai then explains that the Backlash Wave combines the energy from the Wind Scar with the energy from a powerful demon and sends back at the foe. A proud Inuyasha shows off by demonstrating for the others that he can perform the Wind Scar whenever he wants by slashing at near by rocks. However, this causes smaller rocks to fly around everywhere, in order to stop the barrage of rocks, Kagome orders Inuyasha to sit.

Shippo agrees, but Inuyasha doesn't see it at all. As Sango and Miroku are walking, Sango tells Miroku about the story that village women told her about the demon. Years ago, a group of warriors with a beautiful princess went into the woods to escape the war. However, the warriors all died leaving the princess alone. It is suspected that the lonely princess now holds some kind of grudge against men. Miroku doesn't quite get why she has a grudge, as does Sango. The three (Kirara is w/ them as well) see a barrier in front of them and they conclude that the princess is on the other side. Miroku gives Sango a rosary to where around her hand and they cross the barrier. After crossing over, Sango and Kirara get separated from Miroku. Miroku arrives at the princess' castle, where she takes him in for tea. Sango finds a group of old men. The old men explain that they were lost in the woods and ran into the princess, who took them to her castle and showed them "a good time." They then explain that looking in her eyes put them in a sort of trance and then the next thing they knew they were old. Sango leaves Kirara to guard the men and runs off to save Miroku. She arrives at the castle just as Miroku is about to kiss the princess. Sango calls out to Miroku. The princess throws Miroku down and jumps back. The princess transforms into a giant wild dog-type demon. The demon can't see Sango at all due to the rosary Miroku gave her.
As Sango is about to attack Miroku, who wasn't really under the princess' spell, tells her not too. If she makes a sound then the demon will know where she is. Miroku launches a few of his scrolls at the demon and they cause the real princess to be expelled from the demon. The embittered demon attacks Miroku. Miroku manages to hold the demon back w/ his staff. Sango chucks Hiraikotsu at the demon. After being hit, the demon looks for Sango and when she gets Sango's approximate location she breaks the rosary, making Sango visible. The demon lunches her hand at Sango, Sango blocks with Hiraikotsu but the demon's claws start to break through the boomerang. Miroku distracts the demon and Sango throws Hiraikotsu once more. This time she manages to cut the demon in half. Thus destroying her illusionary castle and returning the men's youth. Miroku runs over to comfort the shaken princess. Sango is noticeably upset by this. After her comforts her, she becomes a ball of light and soars toward the heavens. Miroku explains to Sango that the demon took over her lonely soul and used it to gather power from the youth of men. Later, the village women thank Miroku for returning their men. Kagome notices that Sango has been kinda depressed since she returned. As Sango sits an laments about her foolishness in chasing after Miroku, Miroku arrives to talk. With Kagome, Inuyasha and Shippo looking on, he thanks her for her help and tells her that of all the women in the world, he's glad that she's the one that worries about him. As Sango turns away and blushes, Miroku takes advantage of the moment and caresses her butt. She gives one hard slap across the face and gets up. As group is walking, Sango notices that Hiraikotsu is in definite need of repair.

Inuyasha and the others come across a fruit from a demonic tree, the Ninmeka, in the river and realize that the demon from which it sprang must be rather big. They decide to investigate since the demon tree uses human flesh as fertilizer. They reach a cliff and realize that the tree must be atop the cliff. Hurriedly, Inuyasha climbs the cliff. Miroku realizes that it's because tonight is the new moon and it's almost sunset. Before Inuyasha reaches the top, the obese man, Tokajin, pouring some odd liquid into the tree so a fruit of eternal life will grow. Inuyasha arrives and attacks Toukajin with Tetsusaiga but it bounces right off his gut. Tokajin then sucks Inuyasha into his jar, leaving Tetsusaiga behind. Meanwhile, Kagome and Miroku are riding Pink-Shippo has he takes them to the top of the cliff, but their combined weight is too much for him so her gives out and the three manage to fall right into the main entrance of Tokajin's house. They find a miniature village with real people inside, which they are soon sucked into, without the Shikon shards. In the village, Kagome, Miroku and Shippo come across a group of men who are devoted to the cause of becoming sages. While they are training, Kagome and the others met a disgruntled warrior who explains the truth behind the sage training. It turns out Tokajin is forcing them to develop some spirit power so he can feed them to the Ninmeka. In the jar, Inuyasha tries to claw his way out but his attempts are squashed when he transforms into his human state because of the onset of night (see episode 13). Unable to get Tetsusaiga to transform, the Peach Man puts it with a bunch of other weapons in the room with the mini-village, where he stumbles across Kagome's fallen Shikon shards. He puts the shards in his naval along with the other one that he stole from the Ninmeka. In Tokajin's jar, Tetsusaiga's scabbard begins to pulse and it summons Tetsusaiga. Tetsusaiga manages to pierce through the jar giving Inuyasha an escape route. Inuyasha escapes, returns to his normal size and punches the Tokajin, which succeeds only in angering him. Using the power of the shards, Tokajin transforms into a Golem-type beast and belly slams Inuyasha. Meanwhile Kagome, Miroku and Shippo begin to lose hose as they discover there is no escape from the mini village.

Human-Inuyasha wakes to find he is bound in thorny vines that are draining his blood to feed to the Ninmenka (see episode 57). Inuyasha notices Kagome's Jewel Jar nearby and asks Tokajin what he did with Kagome. Tokajin is excited to hear that there is a girl in the house because the blood of a young girl is the Ninmenka's favorite. Tokajin deduces that Kagome is in the village-box (see episode 57). In the village, with help from a boulder and the Air Void, the three manage to make a whole in the side of the box. However, before they can use it, Tokajin reaches in and extracts Kagome. Later, the Peach Man appears in front of Inuyasha with just Kagome's school uniform and taunts him by claiming he ate Kagome. A still tiny Miroku and Shippo appear from Kagome's uniform, and with some help from the Air Void, Inuyasha breaks free from the vines and Tokajin is knocked out. Tiny-Miroku shows Inuyasha where Kagome is, bathing in an odd bath with Ninmenka fruits. Inuyasha comes in and gives Kagome his fire rat kimono as clothing. The four decide that it's time to leave and on there way out, they notice a the head of an old sage sprouting from some flowers. The sage explains that Tokajin accidentally implanted the Shikon shard in the bark of the Ninmenka, and the tree then convinced Tokajin eat its fruits with promises of power. The Ninmenka fruits contaminate the heart of the one by which they've been ingested. The sage explains that he in this form because Tokajin knows that without him then he can't make the immortality elixir. Tokajin, once again in Golem Mode (see episode 57), appears to take-out Inuyasha. Tokajin attacks and easily knocks the human Inuyasha down. The sage tells Inuyasha to drink some Ninmenka fruit elixir to heal him, but Inuyasha refuses and charges Tokajin head on. Kagome pulls out a bow and draws an arrow at Tokajin. As the sage looks on he senses a mysterious energy radiating from Kagome. The energy emitted by Kagome is to much for the old bow and it breaks. Inuyasha manages to gouge Tokajin's left eye out with a near by stick. As atonement for training Tokajin, the sage transforms into a bow for Kagome to use. Kagome uses the sage bow and manages to pierce Tokajin and knock the Shikon shards from his stomach. However the shards land on the Ninmenka. Out of rage, Tokajin charges at Kagome, Inuyasha jumps up and manages to knock himself and Tokajin of the cliff. As they fall, the Shikon powered Ninmenka spreads it root out of the cliff absorbs Tokajin, thus transforming it into a large root monster, Touboku Ninmenka. Touboku Ninmenka, begins to absorb Inuyasha, but the sun rises and Inuyasha transforms back into his half-demon self and with an assist by the Wind Scar, Inuyasha obliterates Touboku Ninmenka. With Tokajin dead, Miroku and Shippo return to their normal size. Having only seen Inuyasha and Tokajin plummet towards the ground, Kagome and the other assume Inuyasha died because he hit the ground while in human form. Inuyasha arrives to show them that he is indeed alive and tells them that they didn't need to worry about. Kagome gets upset and says that it's only natural to worry. Inuyasha notices that Kagome was crying, which she vehemently denies. The two go back and forth for awhile until Kagome "sits" him and shuts him up.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Episode 65- Farewell, Days of My Youth

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.

Episode 66- Naraku's Barrier, Kagura's Decision

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…
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Episode 67- Howling Wind of Betrayal

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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Episode 68- Shippo Receives an Angry Challenge

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.

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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Episode 70- Onigumo's Memories Reawaken

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!

At the middle of training, Inuyasha asked to the little cat youkai why he wanted to do this training, he said that his village was attacked by a youkai and they couldn’t attack him back ‘cause he has a very strong barrier, so he went from the village to aksed Toutousai’s help.

Inu-Yasha is still obsessed with learning how to break Naraku's barriers, when Myoga arrives and tells him about a group of demon bats who have created an impeneterable barrier. If Inu-Yasha is able to slay the demon guarding the barrier, it's blood will be absorbed by Tetsusaiga and give it the ability to break even the most powerful shields. The situation is complicated when Inu-Yasha arrives ready to slay some bats. As it turns out Shiori is the half-demon grandchild of Taigokumaru who has forced her mother to turn his grandchild over to him. He promises to stop attacking the village if she does so, and seeing no other way to save her fellow villagers lives Shiori's mother does as Taigokumaru asks. Unfortunately Taigokumaru does not live up to his part of the bargain and continues to attack, while keeping Shiori to power the barrier around the demon bat's cave. Even if Inu-Yasha could penetrate the barrier he would have to kill an innocent child to power up his sword. Soon Taigokumaru sets out carrying Shiori to destory her village.

Taigokumaru tells them that because his son fell in love with a human he no longer wished to carryout his job of protecting the barrier, and so he had to kill him. Now Shiori will do the job her father refused. Taigokumaru fires a blast at Inu-Yasha who reverses it into the Bakuryuha, but Shiori's barrier prevents it from doing any harm. After hearing that her grandfather killed her father, Shiori's rage forces Taigokumaru outside of the protective barrier. Inu-Yasha sees his chance and kills the giant bat. Now Shiori and her mother are reunited and the village is saved. Inu-Yasha refuses to kill the little girl mearly to power up Tetsusaiga, but Shiori offers his the red orb she carried to generate the shield. It's power should be the same as if Inu-Yasha had bathed Tetsusaiga in her blood as he had planned. Suddenly Taigokumaru's spirit emerges from the ball and tries to kill Shiori and her mother, but the spirit of Tsukyumaru protects them both from harm. Sure enough the orb powers up Tetsusaiga making it's blade glow red, and now it is powerful enough to break almost any barrier.

Suddenly an army came to them and then asked Sango which made she confused. They asked Sango to kill the youkai that attacked their castle often. Sango wanted to refuse it, but the lord castle came. He said that he knew Sango ( even Sango wasn’t remember about him, lol ). Then the lord held Sango’s hand and asked her to go to his castle, and of course Miroku stared him at that time ^^. At the castle, Sango remembered about the lord. 5 years ago, when the lord was still a kid, there’s a monster youkai attacked their castle, and the king called Sango’s family to kill that youkai.

The lord asked her to walk together with him, and Sango accepted that. In the room, Kagome said to Miroku why he didn’t stop Sango. Inuyasha like usual, asked that wasn’t that so usual if Sango slap Miroku ( he didn’t have any sense ). Miroku just sighed. Kagome looked at him and then she got an idea. She imagined that Sango and Miroku will get married in the modern world, lol! And all of Inuyasha group celebrated them!! After tought of that, Kagome pull Miroku out of the room and talked to Miroku to get Sango back. But Miroku just quiet, then Kagome said that the lord is kinder thousand times than him to encourage him. but he just quiet again and then went leave Kagome. That’s made Kagome confused. Miroku learned the scar mark that made by the monster on the ground. Then suddenly he saw Sango and the lord walked together. He saw them quietly….and then Kagome appeared and said that actually he was very care about Sango. They looked Sango and the lord from back ( of course Sango and the lord didn’t know ). The lord asked to Sango about her answer for his proposed. Sango want to tell him that she couldn’t, but suddenly the lord said that in this era, where peoples fought each others and many betrayal happens, a time where we couldn’t trust any peoples, and as a lord, he needed someone in his side who he can trust and believe, and he knew that Sango is the most right people for him. after that he held Sango’s hand and said that he loved her. And then Sango said thank you to him. After heard that, Miroku went from that place and Kagome followed him. She asked him if it’s okay if he just quiet and didn’t do anything about this, but Miroku said to Kagome that it’s far better for Sango to live in this castle as a lord’s wife than did a journey to fight with Naraku. Kagome couldn’t accept that words, and she asked “then how about Sango’s feeling??!!” The night came, Sango hasn’t slept yet, she walked out the room, then she saw Miroku sat on the floor. Miroku looked at her, and smiled to her. He stood up and walked toward to Sango. Then he said “be happy” to her. Sango was very surprised, but suddenly a person came and tell them that the youkai monster came back and attacked the castle. Inuyasha want to kill the monster, but suddenly Sango came and said that she will do it, more over, she was in the very bad mood at that time. Inuyasha could see Sango’s spirit ( there was an angry fire behind her ^^ ), so he let her did it. Sango fought the youkai harshly. She kicked it many times, then hit it, threw it, ( which made Inuyasha group scared to her, and Miroku feel very guilty, lol ) and for the final, she cut it with her “hiraikotsu”, and the monster collapsed. Sango feel satisfied and turn back, she thought that the youkai has dead, but suddenly the youkai woke up again and want to attack her with its claw! Sango very surprised and didn’t have any time to dodge it, she closed her eyes and suddenly Miroku saved her! Miroku got hurt in his hand because of that , then he told Sango that this youkai was a ghost, not a live thing, so he used his spell and the ghost youkai vanished. The lord who saw that understood about Sango and Miroku relationship. After that, Inuyasha group did a ceremony for the youkai so it wouldn’t attacked the castle again. Then Inuyasha group want to leave the castle. In outside the castle, the lord said goodbye to Sango. Then she went, but in his heart, the lord said that he haven’t give up yet, lol. It was rain again at that time, and like usual, Inuyasha didn’t want to use umbrella, Sango used a “hat” , but Miroku didn’t use anything. When Kagome asked him, he said that the string was cutted, so he couldn’t use it. Heard that, Kagome gave an umbrella to Sango and then Sango came to Miroku and used the umbrella to him with blushed. Miroku who looked that smiled to her and said sorry, then they walked together with umbrella ( kawaii!! ). Kagome was very happy looked them, but then Miroku groped Sango’s butt again! Sango slapped him as usual and then go, but she smiled after that. Miroku who got a slap mark on his cheek smiled too.
