The cursed Ink of the Hell Painter

In this epi a traveling painter who has the ability to bring his paintings of demons to life has been causing some trouble in the area. The gang become aware of it when the stumble upon a battlefield that smells like ink. In this epi Miroku goes off on his own to get the jewel shard cuz he & Inu don't really trust each other. They eventually meet up again at the end when Inu defeats the painter. The painter in a stupid move to make a last ditch effort to overcome Inuyasha calls upon his ink to make him stronger. The ink has a shard in it. This is what gives the painter his power. The ink detsroys the painter & all that's left is the ink & a shard. Anywyas Miroku wants the shard but he doesn't want it as he can feel it's evil , so Kagome picks it up & she gets to keep it cuz she was able to puriufy it just by touching it.

Note: Miroku has now become a part of the group.
