Sango's Feelings, Miroku's Resolve

The demon Shishinki approaches Sesshomaru for a fight, having been defeated by Sesshomaru's father long ago.

Sesshomaru attacks with his Meido, but Shishinki's absorbs it.

A Complete Meido

Kohaku's Shard

Kohaku successfully drives Magatsuhi out of his body just as Sesshomaru arrives, who manages to cut Magatsuhi in half, destroying part of him. Naraku then tries to take Kohaku's shard himself, but Sesshomaru attacks with his Bakusaiga, which causes Naraku's body to explode.

When the Jewel is Whole

Inuyasha's group leave to defeat Naraku, leaving Shippo behind. As they find Naraku and Byakuya in a cloud of miasma, they see Sesshomaru enter Naraku's body in search of Rin. As Inuyasha's group enters, Miroku pauses to propose to Sango.

Inside Naraku

Inuyasha's heart is devoured by the Shikon Jewel's poison, and he turns into his demon form helpless as  the darkness in his heart takes control of him.

Naraku: The Trap of Light

Naraku has been living as a demon despite having a human heart. While fighting him, Kagome asks about his true wish.

When the last person to obtain the Shikon Jewel makes the one correct wish, the jewel will be purified and disappear entirely from this world. The long journey of Inuyasha and his companions comes to end and thus concludes this Feudal Fairy Tale.

Unbeknownst to Kagome, she is the reincarnation of priestess Kikyo and posseses the "Jewel of Four Souls" (the Shikon jewel). One ill-fated day, Kagome locates an ancient well near her home and is abruptly transported through the well and into a feudal Japan, inhabited by demons. There, she encounters Inuyasha, son of a powerful demon father and a human mother, who is pinned to a tree by an enchanted arrow.
