Here we come!
It's time for Inuyasha!
We're going to gather all the shards of the Sacred Jewel...
and I'll destroy Naraku with my Tetsusaiga!
Miroku and Sango reach the depths of the sacred grounds of Mt. Hakurei.
What awaits them is an enormous demonic aura.
Hurry Inuyasha! They're both in danger!
It's up to us and Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kirara!
Travel back in time for a Feudal Fairy Tale!
Inuyasha!
Do it now, Wolf!
- He did it! - He's up again, mutt!
Take this.!
Inuyasha!
I'm so glad!
You're not hurt, are you?
You're okay?
Kagome...
This leads to the depths.
Let's go, Sango. No doubt about it, Naraku is deep inside!
Is Naraku in the depths of the sacred mountain beyond this barrier?
As everyone gathers at Mt. Hakurei, something is about to happen!
The aura is getting even stronger...
As I had surmised, the barrier around this sacred mountain
has been hiding the source of this evil in its depths...
Cloisters....?
The demonic aura is really thick in here...
Naraku's demons!
I guess he doesn't intend to hide it any longer!
Those are!
Naraku's poison insects!!
Miroku! You mustn't use the Wind Tunnel!
If you suck them in, the poison will get you!
Hiraikotsu!!
Take that!
Well. I never would have thought...
Two humans made it this far inside all by themselves?
But then, that Inuyasha can't come in, can he?
Kagura!
I'll grant that you've got guts...
But don't think you'll make it out of here alive!
I guess this means that they don't want us to go any further!
Yeah! And it means we must be closing in on Naraku!
Sango! This way!
Fools!
Sango!!
Miroku! You go on without me!
No way!
Don't worry!
Finding where Naraku is hiding is our first priority, isn't it?
Kagura!
Hiraikotsu!
Are you aiming for me?
I am the wind, remember?!
Kohaku!
Pay attention, fool!!
Sango!
Sango!!
Sango!
Come on! Wake up, Sango!
How touching, Monk.
If you'd gone on ahead without her,
you might have lived a little longer...
You can't use the Wind Tunnel for fear of the insects' poison!
Who do you think I am?!
If it means that the girl I care dearly for can live on instead....
Then I don't need this life!
Wind Tunnel!
What...?!
He really did open up the Wind Tunnel!
The insect poison is spreading through my body...
Miroku and Sango are late...
They've been gone too long. I hope they haven't had trouble.
Kagome, you wait here.
What?
I'm going to pop over and see what's up at the mountain.
What are you saying? You can't go into the sacred mountain!
I'm only a half-demon! I wouldn't let sacred lands purify me!
That's crazy, Inuyasha!
You don't know what will happen if you enter there!
Never mind! You just wait here.
This is no time to be arguing about it.
Hey, Wolf! You're there, aren't you?
Uh-oh... He's on to us...
Whaddya want, mutt?
You stay here and keep Kagome safe.
What's going on?
Miroku and Sango went into Mt. Hakurei and haven't come out.
The only answer is for me to go.
The sacred grounds won't be as bad for me as for a real demon....
Fine with me. Good riddance!
Don't put your arm around her! And don't talk to her!
Remember, if anything happens to Kagome, I'll kill you!
Got that?!
Inuyasha!
Is he gonna be all right?
Even a half-demon will find it hard in the sacred grounds.
Inuyasha....
Please! Don't push too far!
This is... worse than I thought...
If you want to throw your life away, then come on!
You'll fall prey to my Wind Tunnel!
I guess even demons value their own lives...
Is the monk totally unaffected?
He must've gotten a huge dose of the Saimyosho's poison...
Wind Tunnel!!
That monk must be really desperate.
Since I don't want to be sucked up, I can't chase him any more...
And besides...
Sorry to tell you, monk, but that's not where Naraku is...
Please... Don't approach me again...
If I open the Wind Tunnel one more time, then I'll be...
Sango... forgive me...
Ka-chew! Man, is it cold!
I've gotta find some clothes!
And I found 'em!
- Who goes there?! - Get out of our way!
And what'll you do if I don't?
All right, now...
I guess this'll do...
Jakotsu!
Hey! I've been looking for you!
I heard from the bugs that Suikotsu bit it, huh?
Yeah, it was pretty sad.
Oh, right! Big Brother Bankotsu...
This is a memento from Suikotsu. A shard of the Sacred Jewel.
Here.
Jakotsu? You're giving it to me?
Sure. You're the one who said to hand it over if we got one.
Jakotsu! You're...
You're such a pal!
Huh?
You're the only one in the whole world I can trust!
Even if you are a bit weird.
Is that so?
See...? I knew it!! I'm not being purified!
I'm gonna make it!
Damn it! Now I can't move...
Does that mean if I go any farther, it's dangerous...?
What should I do...?
Well, well. Inuyasha.
You can't go any farther?
You're looking a bit weak....
Renkotsu!
So unlike you... not to notice that I was following you...
You again?! The Band of Seven must be really short-handed.
Your mouth is as sharp as ever.
Tell me, Inuyasha... You're in a hurry, aren't you?
But if you go any farther,
even a half-demon like you will be purified. Is that it?
Then go!!
Oh no!!!
And....does that finish it?
What?!
Y- you see...? I'm still...
My demonic powers are gone! And it's not even the night of the new moon!
Damn it! It's this barrier's fault!
Well, well. What a surprise.
I thought the sacred grounds would purify and vaporize you.
But it's only your powers that have disappeared.
How convenient that you're only a half-demon.
Thanks to that I'm much lighter now!
You're never at a loss for words, are you?
But now you're just a human brat!
Damn you! I'm not letting you escape!
I don't have time to waste with that Renkotsu...
I'm going to keep on running all the way into the mountain!
Miro...
That's right! I was hit by the Hiraikotsu...
Miroku?
He opened the Wind Tunnel and sucked in the insects'poison?!
Miroku! Wake up! Please!
Oh, what am I gonna do...? This is my fault!
Miroku? Miroku!
Please! Open your eyes....!
Miroku....
Miroku!
Sango....? Good.
You're conscious again....
Sango, go on without me.
No! Only if you're with me!
I think....I might have pushed myself too far.
So you have to be the one who survives.
No!
If it means leaving you behind....
Then we'll die together!
Sango....
What's happening to me...?
My body is feeling better and better...
Miroku?
Those demons... Why aren't they attacking?
Now that you mention it...
They were purified!
They can't come any closer.
Right... This is still sacred ground.
It's even powerful enough to purified the poison in my body...
Let's go, Sango. There's something up ahead.
Miroku, are you sure you're all right?
Yes. I guess we won't have to die together, after all.
Huh?!
Oh, geez! What did I say? What did I say?!
She can't remember?
How long do you think you can get away from me?
Take that!
It's a dead end.
I guess this is as far as you go....
Why you....!
This is...?
Die!!
Is it over?
There's no body....
So, he slipped through this crack.
Renkotsu!
Jakotsu?
Whatever are you doing in such a place?
So, we're all that's left of the Band of Seven?
Yeah, and it's a problem.
What is?
Band of Seven means seven, not three people!
We have to think up a new name.
Oh, by the way, what happened to Suikotsu's jewel shard?
I gave it to Bankotsu.
Yeah?
He has no avarice...
But anyway, this is bad news.
Bankotsu is collecting all the shards...
Eventually he'll get Jakotsu's shard, too.
I can't let that happen.
Jakotsu, something really interesting has happened....
Huh? Interesting?
Miroku!
Yes! Let's go!
This hole is really deep...
I wonder if it goes all the way down...?
Well, just as Renkotsu said!
So, you're Inuyasha? You're pretty cute even as a human.
Jakotsu!
My, my. This makes me so happy!
I've been waiting for the time when I could fight you again!
Let's do it....
This mummy is St. Hakushin?
Saint Hakushin, in life you were a man of high morals
and saved many people!
So how is it that you are working to help Naraku?!
I was enshrined and became a living Buddha,
but my soul was left in the darkness and hence, could not be saved.
That man's voice called to me.
I will not judge you, still....
Next on Inuyasha: "Divine Malice of The Saint"
I cannot ignore the barrier which protects Naraku!
