Chapter
151: 四魂の光
Shikon no hikari
(The Light of the Shikon)
Miroku questions Naraku about the two women that now work with him, and he explains that they were born from him. He tells Miroku that he is alone now, and orders the villagers to attack him while Kagura takes Inuyasha's head, which Naraku plans on showing to Kikyo. Kagura sends out a wind blade, but Kagome's arrow flies out of nowhere and cancels it out. Everyone is surprised to see Kagome is still awake, and even Inuyasha manages to wake up slightly. The Tessaiga protected him from dying by the Wind Scar, but he is completely wasted otherwise. Kagome notices the glow of Shikon shards within Naraku's clothing, and he removes them to show everyone. He tells them how Kikyo gave him the shard she took from them, and with it's power he was able to create Kanna and Kagura. Kagome has heard enough and fires an arrow at them, knowing that Kanna might reflect it back at them.

152: 放たれた矢
Hanatareta ya
(The Arrow Released)
As the arrow flies towards them Naraku commands Kanna to return it to Kagome. The arrow flies into the mirror, but does not come back out. Kanna begins to absorb Kagome's soul once more, but Kagome gambles that if she could not do it before that she will be unable to do so again.

She returns the souls, and just as she does Miroku unleashes his wind tunnel to suck up Naraku and his offspring. Naraku makes a quick escape before he can be taken though. When the villagers awake they remember nothing that has gone on and Koharu finds a sutra from Miroku. She hopes that he is safe wherever he is. In a small hut Kagome and the others are tending their wounds while Inuyasha wonders why Kikyo gave Naraku the Shikon jewel. Elsewhere Kikyo is caring for some soliders when Naraku arrives to tell her that Inuyasha now hates her for what she has done.

Chapter
157: 本能
Honno
(True Nature)
Inuyasha curiously stares at his claws as he immerses himself in his newfound powers. Kagome starts to approach him when he realizes he wants to kill more people and cause more havoc. He warns her not to come near because he does not know if he can control himself. She does though, and commands him to "sit" which forces him to the ground and causes him to revert back to his normal self. They look at the shattered blade of Tessaiga when Totosai's bull arrives bearing Myoga. He says he sensed that something had happened to the blade and came as soon as he could. From there they all leave to have Totosai repair the damage. Some time passes and Rin, Jaken, and Sesshomaru arrive at the destroyed village. They find Goshinki's head and Sesshomaru seems interested that his teeth were able to shatter Tessaiga. He carries the head off with them as he thinks to himself that Inuyasha's blood smells like that of himself and his father- a full demon's blood. Myoga sends Inuyasha along to Totosai while the others wait at the bottom of the mountain. He tells them that Tessaiga was designed not only to protect Inuyasha, but also keep him from transforming into a full demon when he was near death. He warns them that now that he has done it once, it may be too late to completely prevent it from happening once again even if the blade is reforged.

Chapter
158: 鬼の剣
Oni no tsurugi
The Orge's Sword
Sesshomaru and Jaken leave Rin behind as they enter the domain of Kaijinbo, the swordsmith. Sesshomaru tosses Goshinki's head down and tells Kaijinbo that his teeth were able to rip though Tessaiga, the blade forged by Totosai, who happens to be Kaijinbo's former master. Meanwhile Totosai is sickened to see what has become of his sword. He agrees to repair it, but says he will require one of Inuyasha's fangs to do so. As they wait for the sword to be restored three days pass and Inuyasha becomes a human again. Sango sees this for the first time, which does not please Inuyasha very much. Kagome asks him if he still wants to become a full demon using the Shikon Jewel, when he realizes that that is what had just happened to him. She tells him she worries that if he does that he will forget her when his heart becomes more savage. He assures her that that is not the case. Back in Kaijinbo's hut Jaken comes to collect the sword. No sooner does he open the door than he is sliced in two by Kaijinbo who is now wielding the new sword for himself.
