Naraku enlists the help of Tsubaki, a dark priestess with a fifty year grudge against Kikyo, to possess Kagome and use her to kill Inuyasha!

Jakotsu attacks Sesshomaru while Suikotsu kidnaps Rin. However, Suikotsu's good alter ego takes over temporarily as he takes Rin to the village where he tended to children. When villagers ask for Suikotsu to leave, his evil alter ego takes over and kills one of the villagers. Jakotsu then shows up from hiding. Meanwhile, Kikyo and Sesshomaru head off to go after the three despite the barrier on the town.

Now that the sacred barrier is down, Kagome and the rest of the gang head up Mt. Hakurei. Inuyasha runs into Bankotsu, deep inside the mountain and is forced to fight him. Can Inuyasha win, now that Bankotsu has seven Shikon shards.?

After meeting Kikyo, Inuyasha and the gang rush to stop Naraku, who confronts Abi and her mother.

Rin has her doubts about whether or not she will be with Sesshomaru forever, after Jaken tells her that he and Sesshomaru will probably live longer than her, because she's mortal and they're demons.
