It all started with the Sacred Tree.
Fighting and searching for our dreams...
and a strong bond is formed between us.
A new hope!
A bright future begins now!
The bird master Princess Abi betrays Naraku
and thus begins a three-way battle.
Furthermore, Kikyo has healed
and her reunion with Inuyasha draws near!
The final shard guides us!
On the other side of the well,
a new dayawaits in the age of warring states!
A Feudal Fairytale!
Inuyasha!
I smell the birds!
Are we close to the nest?
Huh?!
They are Kikyo's shikigami!
You two....
Kikyo....
is waiting.
Huh?!
Hey! Wait up!
Those lights...
Kikyo!
Those are....!
Soul Collectors!
Kikyo....
Inuyasha....
Are you all right now?
You must have heard.
Naraku's miasma which was eating through my body
was purified by Kagome.
Uh-huh....
Kikyo...
still looks like she's in pain.
She's not completely healed yet.
Inuyasha....
You must have noticed it, too.
The barrier around the birds' nest is gone.
I get it now!
That's why I could smell the birds.
Inuyasha, what is Naraku trying to do?
He's trying to get to the border
between this world and the next.
In order to get the Sacred Jewel shard.
That's why he used the birds to gather human blood.
Which means....
that the road that connects this world to the afterlife will soon open.
Huh?
Inuyasha did....?
Yes, he went after two young children.
Two young children...?
Those two!
Inuyasha...
went to Kikyo.
Inuyasha....
you and your friends intend to go to the border between this world and the next?
'Course!
We're not gonna let someone like Naraku get his hands on the Sacred Jewel shard!
- Then... - Huh?!
do not take Kagome.
Huh?
Whaddya mean?
The reason Naraku removed the barrier around the birds' nest
was to lure you into his trap.
What?!
Naraku's goal is Kagome's eyes.
Her power to see the Sacred Jewel shards?
Naraku wants to lure you to the border
between this world and the afterlife
and then force Kagome to locate the shard.
Huh....?
Kikyo?
I will go!
Wha...!
Kikyo!
You're not completely healed yet!
It's impossible in your condition.
I can do it.
My spiritual powers have not weakened.
Don't be ridiculous!
You'll only end up as Naraku's prey!
You know, right?
Naraku is after your life!
Kikyo....
Back then, I....
When you were attacked at Mt. Hakurei....
I wasn't able to protect you!
I refuse to give Naraku a second chance at your life....
I never want to go through something like that again!
I'll only be a burden....
Are you trying to tell me that?
I'm begging you!
Just wait here!
Kikyo!
The arrows...
Here....
Huh?
Give this to Kagome.
But whether she can use it depends on her.
There's something weird about the sky.
Yes. Look closely.
Those are....
Naraku's demons.
They seem to be headed somewhere.
Now where did Inuyasha go at a time like this?
On top of which, it's morning and he's still not back.
Say, the shikigami that Inuyasha went after....
I know. Most likely, they were Kikyo's.
Goodness! Of all the times....!
It's a problem.
Yes.
A real problem.
Something scares me about Kagome....
I have to stay sharp.
After all...
he wanted to see her alone.
But still, what's the matter with him?!
Sneaking around like that!
Kagome....
W-What?
Inuyasha....
Uh-oh, they're gonna start fighting!
I hope he doesn't say something he shouldn't.
I went to see Kikyo.
Huh?
He just came out and said it, without any hesitation.
Although, we know already.
What a fool!
So?
She told me to give this to you.
This is Kikyo's....
It's been rubbed with dirt from Onigumo's cave.
She said it should be effective against Naraku.
And?
Well....
What Kagome wants to know
is what happened between you and Kikyo!
Don't try to fool us!
I'm not trying to fool anyone!
All I did was see her!
I just....
wanted to see for myself that she was okay.
That's all.
Is that really all?
Are you upset, Kagome?
Not really. I trust you, Inuyasha.
Kagome....
And so....
And so what?
Tell me honestly what happened.
She doesn't believe me and she's angry.
I have to stay sharp.
Are they Naraku's demons?
I smell it...
Although it's very faint.
Mixed into the smell of the birds...
Naraku's evil aura.
I'm going.
Yes!
I, Jaken, will follow you any-
Oh, wait! Please wait! Lord Sesshomaru!
Naraku removed the barrier around the birds' nest?
Yeah! It reeks with the smell of the birds!
Naraku wants Kagome's eyes.
Kagome....
Huh?
When we get to the other side of the world,
you may face a bit of danger.
Why are you telling me such a thing now?
Without me, you can't locate the Sacred Jewel shard, right?
The reason Naraku removed the barrier around the birds' nest
was to lure you into his trap.
Even if it is Naraku's trap, I won't let it go his way!
Don't worry, Kagome!
I'm right beside you!
I'll protect you without fail!
'Kay. I believe in you.
This is....!
Naraku's smell!
Then he's close by!
I sense a Sacred Jewel shard!
Damn Naraku!
He's in the birds' nest!
Why Naraku....
I never thought you'd come looking for a fight.
Is it payback time because I destroyed your castle?
Princess Abi....
Your birds sucked out every drop of human blood at the castle.
They sure did.
And thanks to them, my mother has been completely cured.
I see.
Naraku, my mother says she wants to greet you.
It is finally opening....
The road that leads to the border between this world and the next.
Naraku....
I don't know what you are scheming, using us in this way.
However, we no longer have use for you.
Naraku, it seems you chose the wrong people to manipulate!
Die!
So easy!
Where are you aiming?
Huh?!
Don't take me lightly, Naraku!
Such attacks won't work on us!
This will finish you!
Such puny flames won't bring down my barrier.
I'll devour both you and your barrier!
I'll swallow you in one gulp!
Naraku....
is that the extent of your strength?
What?!
Naraku's already at the nest?
I'm sure of it! It's his scent!
Naraku removed the barrier around the nest,
and didn't send Kagura or Hakudoshi, but went himself!
Something is....
No, the path that leads to the border between this world and the next
is about to open!
That's what one would conclude.
Who cares what Naraku is scheming?!
If we defeat him, it's all over!
Master Inuyasha!
Old Myoga!
Inuyasha, is it true that Naraku is at Princess Abi's nest?
There's no mistake!
This is not good.
Tekkei will be at the nest.
Who the hell is that?
Myoga, who is Tekkei?
Tekkei belongs to a group of birds which live in hell.
More precisely, she's a demon connected to the other world.
That's perfect!
But Tekkei is brutal, so you must be extremely careful.
Remember, you have been warned.
And with that....
Hold it!
So tell me, how do I get to the other side?
Huh?!
Inuyasha, look!
Huh?!
What is that huge bird?!
Is that....
Tekkei?!
Inuyasha, have you all come to die, too?
Princess Abi....
What happened to Naraku?!
Naraku's already dead!
What?!
Dead? Not that Naraku?!
Yes, that Naraku! He's in my belly.
S-So you ate him?
He's probably hard to digest....
I can't believe that Naraku would be beaten so easily.
Now then, stay still and be eaten by me!
You've gotta be kidding!
Go!
Hiraikotsu!
As long as there aren't any saimyosho,
I can use my Wind Tunnel freely!
No way!
Wind Scar!
That's useless!
Wha...!
Die, Inuyasha!
A half-demon thinks he can defy me and my daughter?!
Huh?!
W-What is this....?!
Huh?
M-Mother!
Y-You!
Naraku!
You're late, Inuyasha.
Naraku, how dare you!
Princess Abi, well done.
I'll never forgive you!
What the...!
The trident!
Have you forgotten?
That trident was a part of my body.
You have worked hard for me.
Damn you!
This is your reward. You shall not suffer when I kill you.
Naraku!
He takes every advantage of them, then....
Dammit!
This is nothing new, but your methods are disgusting!
Well, weren't you planning to defeat Princess Abi, too?
You should be grateful.
Thanks to me, you all are....
now able to go to the border between this world and the next.
We chase after Naraku and cross a river of blood
and find ourselves at the border between this world and the afterlife.
But suddenly, we're attacked by a spear of light!
Dammit! The spear came from my old man's grave!
Grave robbers who seek the Sacred Jewel shard!
This eloquent voice....
could it be Hosenki?
The shard chose to come with me!
Next on Inuyasha:
"The Demon Protector of the Sacred Jewel Shard!"
Whoever comes, I will not hand it over!
