Senaka no kumo
(The Spider On Her Back)
As Kagome's arrow flies towards Inuyasha it's purifing powers stop Kagura's wind temporarily and allow Inuyasha to unleash the Wind Scar.

Kagura pulls a feather from her hair and takes flight on it. As she leaves they see she has a large spider burn on her back just like Naraku. Miroku wonders if Naraku had transformed into this woman, but Inuyasha said it seemed as if this was the first time she had met them.

Chapter
146: 神楽の謎
Kagura no nazo
(Mystery of the Wind Witch)
Koga lies on the ground, his arm turning black from the poison. Inuyasha wants to let him die, but Kagome insists that he try to save him. Inuyasha tells them that he will cut Koga's arm off to stop the spread of the poison, but Kagome quickly stops him and uses one of her arrows to purify his arm of the poison. It works and Koga jumps to his feet and runs off. Kagura arrives at Naraku's castle damning him for not telling her of the Tessaiga's power. Naraku quickly grows tired of her yapping and from his hand emerges a heart, which he begins to squeeze causing Kagura immense pain. He tells her that because she was born from him, she will do as he says. Two large pots sit nearby containing organs, flesh and bones, obviously the process through which Kagura was born. That evening in a small hut the group discusses Kagura and why she smelled like Naraku. Miroku says that he does not believe that Kagura is acutually Naraku, and states that if Naraku did change into a woman he would not be the sort that he would ask to bear his child. He explains that because Naraku was formed from many demons he may be able to give birth to new ones as well. Meanwhile Naraku orders Kagura to go face Inuyasha again, and to take her older sister Kanna, a small white haired girl, with her.
