Even if I find another arm, it'll be useless after a while.
You seem to be troubled.
May I suggest that you use this arm?
It's a human arm with a Sacred Jewel fragment imbedded in it.
The power to slay a hundred demons in one stroke...
Sesshomaru, next it's your arm. I'll shoot your left arm off!
Left arm?!
I can see it... The fragment of the Sacred Jewel!
Stop!
Huh?!
I'm the one who'll fight you!
You act pretty swiftly... When it comes to that girl.
Inuyasha! There's a Sacred Jewel fragment in his left arm!
If I aim for that...
Enough, Kagome!
Sesshomaru's not one to be easily beaten.
You take care of Miroku.
Medicine from your time may save him!
Uh-huh... got it!
- Kagome! - Yes?
Thanks... Your arrow halted the Tetsusaiga's transformation.
I can at least fight now.
Inuyasha thanked me... ?
A sign of weakness?
The transformation was stopped by a mere mortal's arrow.
I guess the Tetsusaiga won't take to me.
Lord Sesshomaru has blood on his face.
Owww... well... You are looking a bit different from earlier...
Don't try to get out of this, you!
Well... Er...
Is Miroku a delinquent monk, after all?!
Now confess!
Where did you get the poison insects?
I don't know who he was...
But it was one who wore the hide of a baboon to conceal himself.
And his name?!
His name...
My name is Naraku.
Naraku?
Naraku is the one that you are after?
Where is Naraku! Tell me!
I don't know.
- Besides, it's too late to know. - What?
Your body is full of insect poison and you will soon be dead!
Are you in pain, Miroku?
It mortifies me... but I am, after all, just a weak mortal.
Serves you right!
D-don't take it out on me...
Miroku!
I need to rest.
Damn! I'm having difficulty breathing.
Shippo! Are you okay?
Kagome, Miroku is...
Just a sec.
I must give the antidote in a hurry.
Hang on, Miroku. Can you drink this?
If possible... can you give it to me mouth to mouth?
I understand.
Okay, here I go, Miroku.
I can manage by myself.
He still has the energy to joke.
But if Inuyasha's battle continues much longer...
he may be in danger.
I've figured it out, Sesshomaru.
Why a demon like you is able to wield the Tetsusaiga.
That left arm is a human arm!
You are using the Sacred Jewel to connect the arm to yours.
If I lop off that arm, you won't be able to even touch the Tetsusaiga!
On top of that...
I'll be able to get another Sacred Jewel fragment!
Two birds with one stone!
If you think you can touch my left arm, try!
Iron-Reaver, Soul-Stealer!
Amazing, Kagome! You smashed his armor!
I was aiming for his left arm.
Kagome!
Inuyasha... Make her stop.
Even as a half-breed, the blood of a demon flows through your veins.
Don't stoop to accepting human aid when you're on the verge of death.
Don't try anything, Kagome!
Sesshomaru is ruthless!
Don't worry! This time I'll hit my target!
The arrow... melted!
Do you not understand...
how to stop?!
Damn!
Run, Kagome!
Kagome! Inuyasha!
Kagome!
Sesshomaru... You!
How dare you hurt Kagome!
Miroku...
It's not even completely transformed, yet look at its power.
The only way left to confront the Tetsusaiga...
is with my Wind Tunnel!
Forget it, Miroku.
If you open your Wind Tunnel again...
That nest is still!
You can't, Miroku.
If you take in anymore of that toxin...
If you understand, take Kagome and run.
As far as you can.
Huh? Inuyasha...
Please... don't let Kagome die.
As if you can run.
I can destroy you all in a single stroke!
As if I'd let you!
It subsided...
He's pushing the sword back.
W-what're you doing?!
Run!
Okay!
It's enough to make me cry...
Trying to gain time to help your friends escape?!
Inuyasha!
Kagome!
Let me go!
If you return, you'll be trampling down Inuyasha's feelings.
Inuyasha...
If you have any last words, I'll hear them now.
What, Sesshomaru?
Haven't you realized it yet?
Why you!
I'm taking my sword back!
Oh no!
Without that left arm, Lord Sesshomaru cannot touch the Tetsusaiga!
Inuyasha...
Lord Sesshomaru!
That damn Inuyasha has finally lost consciousness...
Don't get any closer.
Huh?
W-why?
He didn't swing the sword!
Damn him... He is unconscious...
but if I step into the striking range...
he would certainly swing the sword!
We're leaving, Jaken.
As the Tetsusaiga is beyond my reach, there's no sense in staying.
Oh, already? Certainly.
He's leaving...
W-we're saved!
Inuyasha!
Kagome...
You're okay...
Inuyasha!
How far are these damned bugs going to follow us?
Humph... Ultimately...
Their goal is this Sacred Jewel fragment.
They're waiting for me to get rid of this arm.
The joint of the arm!
It's extending toward your body!
I'm about to be eaten by this arm.
That Sesshomaru... He failed.
Oh, Master Sesshomaru!
Naraku!
You tried to kill my lord with that arm!
Oh, no such thing!
Just a little something so that...
I can get back the Sacred Jewel fragment that I loaned him.
Quite well prepared, aren't you?
That's what you get...
for threatening Lord Sesshomaru.
He got away...
He's gone.
Master Sesshomaru...
Please hold back your anger.
I may call on you again...
when the opportunity to kill Inuyasha arises again.
A disagreeable wretch, is he not?
Hachi... We've been together a long time.
Will you please cut out that sentimental talk?
Master Miroku, how are you feeling?
I think your medicine has taken effect.
You saved my life.
Hachi, I'm hungry.
'Kay, okay! I'll find something.
Shippo, how is Inuyasha?
As you can see, he hasn't gotten up yet.
For Inuyasha to say he wants to go home...
he must've been hurt pretty badly.
Now getting back to what we were talking about...
The insect hive was Naraku's doing.
Naraku was the one responsible for the Wind Tunnel in Miroku's right hand.
And...
And he's the demon who set Inuyasha against Kikyo...
and tried to get them to kill each other.
To avenge Kikyo's death, Inuyasha must get Naraku.
Does Inuyasha know that?
Nope...
Inuyasha's has had his hands full with Sesshomaru.
He has no idea about Naraku.
If he learns of it...
he's sure to set out in search of Naraku despite his injuries.
Shippo, let's not tell Inuyasha about this for now.
I agree...
Naraku is near...
The one who disguised himself as me and killed Kikyo.
He's hidden himself again and is near.
Fool! I have no desire to become human!
That wasn't me.
Thanks for the Sacred Jewel!
That wasn't me...
Not me!
Curse you!
That was not me!
Curse you!
He will appear where the Sacred Jewel can be found.
He's nearby.
Thanks for carrying us, Tanuki.
Don't mention it!
A token of our appreciation.
I hope they're not leaves, Miroku!
Kagome... come with me.
Say!
Are you all right, Inuyasha?
Even if you're built strong...
it's still too early for you to be walking around.
See! I told you so!
You guys don't have to come!
He seems stronger than I first thought.
Huh?!
Granny Kaede taught me that this herb is the best antidote for poison.
I'll brew some tea with it later.
And this one here is a good antiseptic.
It really works, but it also stings something awful.
Kagome...
Yes?
You've become strong.
I know!
After all, I spend each day running away from demons.
I've much stronger now than your average ninth grader.
I've gotten pretty good at archery, too.
The Bone-Eating Well...
This well connects the present with the Feudal era.
And hidden inside me was the Sacred Jewel...
which the demons all sought.
That's how I met Inuyasha...
Kagome...
How are you feeling? You're injured, aren't you?
Huh?
I just got a lump on the head.
I'm sorry, Inuyasha.
I know you told me to stay away from Sesshomaru...
but I ended up getting in your way.
If I hadn't been moving around closeby...
you wouldn't have gotten hurt so seriously.
Nah... Actually, your arrow saved me.
I'm grateful, Kagome.
Grateful?! What's wrong with you, Inuyasha?
You really are acting strange.
You must have a fever.
That Inuyasha... What does he intend to do...
taking Kagome so deep into the forest?!
Shh!
You must've heard too...
about Naraku who lured me into a trap fifty years ago.
He's the one pulling the strings behind Sesshomaru.
So he knew...
I guess...lnuyasha's the one most alert to Naraku's movements.
That's why...
we might face even greater danger.
You may be right.
Is that all you have to say?!
Kagome, aren't you frightened?
This time, we came out of it still breathing, but...
I'm not afraid!
Naraku is an awful demon! We must destroy...
Inu...yasha...
I... was afraid.
Huh?
At the thought of you dying...
I was scared.
Hey, Miroku... What're you doing?!
This is not for children to see.
I'll hold this.
The Sacred Jewel fragment!
You must never come back to this era again!
Huh?!
Inuyasha! What are you doing?!
Kagome is gone!
Inuyasha!
The other side of the well...
is where Kagome truly belongs.
Ohh! What's with him?!
Out of the blue like this! I don't understand!
I'll go back and grill him!
Huh?
The school chime...
Am I in the present time?
I can't return to the Feudal Era!
W-Why?!
I don't have the Sacred Jewel fragment!
The first hug I received from a boy.
I'll never forgive him if it was just to take the Sacred Jewel!
Inuyasha suffers from poison; a new enemy attacks him.
The timing is too advantageous for the enemy!
Someone's watching! Someone's close by!
Grandma Kaede, do you know? Tell us who Naraku is!
Next time: "Despicable Villain! The Mystery of Onigumo!"
Don't miss it!
