Inumittsu
Episode 9
9 days have passed since the high priest�s visit; and Konpon feels as well as she has in many months. Gathering her few necessities, she tells Inuyasha that they are leaving. �Let the priests come and exorcise the whole forest for all I care. We shall be long gone.� The boy says, �But your home�� She tells him, �Little one; I was not here 4 months before you came. This was nothing but a place to die. I leave it gladly with the intent to live. Now come�� And so Inuyasha leaves another home, merely a month after he left his first. Once again he travels in the care of a single elderly guardian; however this time his sense of loss is lessened by the fact that he is with someone who cares for him. When the priests arrive the next day, the find nothing but the trees and the hut; and a cracked porcelain cup.
