Kagome's back at school & her friends come & tell her about a "problem". It seems this younger girl likes Hojo & they felt Kagome should watch out or she'll steal Hojo away from her. Kagome doesn't see this as a problem at all. She thinks back about Inuyasha & Kouga. Meanwhile Shippo is telling Sango about the well. Anywyas Inuyasha tries to talk to Kaede about it but can't. Anywyas Miroku is busy charming all the ladies in the village. He seems to feel that if they all stay awaty from the well then Inuyash will go back & get Kagome. Sure enough Inuyasha goes down the well. Meanwhile Kagome's friends are hanging with her at Wacdonalds They talk about her "mystery boyfriend". They try & convince her to out with Hojo instead & to dump this other guy. Meanwhile Inuyasha Sneaks into her room. He gets the crap scared out of him by Sota! *laughs* Anywyas they talk about Kagome. Meanwhile Kagome comes home Inuyasha freaks & he tells Sota not to tell Kagome he was there. So Kagome comes in & wants to know what Sota's doing in her room. (he never answers her) Then we see her soaking & musing in the tub. Meanwhile Inuyasha is back home grumbling & Sango wonders why he even went there in the first place.

Meanwhile Inuyasha is still fretting about what happened between them. Shippo in all innocense manages to make things worse by asking Inuyasha if Kagome likes Kouga. Anywyas Kagome is home for a while & she's trying to study. (Sota does his best to be like Shippo here). She gets tired & takes a nap. Meanwhile Inuyash comes back & he watches her sleep. Kagome who must be dreaming about him tells him to sit in her sleep! Poor Inuyasha goes splat! The clock goes off & scares him. Next thing we see is Kagome waking up wondering where her clock is. She see mudy "dog prints" on her mat & she realizes he was there. Then she's back in school & meets up with Hojo. This guys is such an idiot! He thinks she's jealous of the other girl, when all she was doing was trying to get the two of them together. Anywyas she goes back to Inuyash. They sit & talk. He thinks she's still mad about her clock. (He shows her the broken clock he took back with him). She asks if he was sorry about anything else & he's like no, so she forgives him anyway.

Meanwhile Kouga is at home recovering from his fight with Inuaysha & the birds of paradise. Some other wolf youkai come & tell him about a place to get more shards. They want to team up with him. He turns them down & they go anywyas. (Kouga really wants to kill Inuaysha first.)Anywyas the wolves go & they meet a woman there at the castle where the shards are. She's not impressed with them. Meanwhile Kouga's buds come & tell him about what happened at the castle & they give him another jewel shard. Kouga goes off to the castle while Naraku watches unseen.

Then Naraku comes over to talk to her about stopping the fight(or dance as he calls it). She does just as Kouga arrives. He thinks Inuyasha has just murdered all the wolves. They start battling as he refuses to believe Inuyasha's explanation. He's stronger now thanks to the new shard. Kagome however can tell it's not a real jewel shard. She tries to stop the battle. Meanwhile Sango & Miroku go off to find out who's behind all of this. Kouga & Inuyasha battle on while Naraku tells her their fight won't stop until one is dead.

The dead wolves get up & attack Kouga this time. As he realizes the truth about what happened he goes after her & is stopped by the pain in his arm where the new shard is. He's become paralysed. She attacks him with wind blades. Meanwhile Kagome is trying to get Inuaysha to wake up. Kagura is doing the usual villian bit of explaining what she did to Kouga.

This chapter starts with a continuation of Kagura's explanation to Kouga. Then Kagome gets in the act by shooting a badly aimed arrow at her. Kagura make a snide remark about having missed her. She then sends her wind blades to Kagome. Just when it looks like Kagome's a goner...Inuyasha wakes up to save her! Kagome thanks Shippo for bring the Tetsusaiga to Inuyasha while he talks to Kagura.

Then Kagome gets the bright idea of saving Kouga. She yells at him & Inuyash overhears & gets annoyed.

Kagome hesitates cuz she's worried Inuyasha'll get hurt. Anywyas after he yells at her she shoots & he finds the opening in the wind he needs. Kagura is shocked by the wind scar. It gets her or does it? Meanwhile S&M have their hands full with Narku's golem...until now when they defeat it & go outside to help. Anywyas all that happened to Kagura is she's lost most of her clothes....so taking a feather from her hair as she gets away...& we see her from behind. She's also got one of those nifty spider shaped burn marks on her back! Anywyas topless Kagura gets away on a giant feather. With her leaving the whole castle starts to disappear again. They all stand around & talk about Kagura, the spider mark & her scent being the same as Naraku's. Everyone seems clueless until Miroku suggests that maybe she's a new form of Naraku's. But Kagome reasons that if she were why didn't she know them? & everyopne ois like who is she?

Everyone is still standing around talking about what happened until they realize Kouga is dying. Inuyasha's like cool! & Kagome says they have to help him & all, so Inuyasha gets out the Tetsusaiga & Kagome stops him from killing Kouga. She takes one of her arrows & diggs out the fake shard with it. Inuyasha & Kouga hurl insults at each other like they want to continue their battle. Kouga then for some reason leaves. Then it's back at the real Naraku castle. Kagura & Naraku talk. She's like ticked off at him. He punishes her by taking her heart & squeezing it. It seems it was kept in these tall jars that are full of other body parts.(That's where she came from). Meanwhile the gang figure out that Kagure is really Naraku's "child". This has the gang worried as they wonder what new powers he now has. ANywyas Naraku's pleased with Kagura even if she did mess up & he tells her to go after her sister Kanna.

They find the girl who sees Miroku & she's like sooooo happy to see him! In fact she tells him how much she missed him much to everyone's dismay. Anywyas she tells them her life story * how she met Miroku. It seems the guy that was after her is the son of the guy that worked her like a slave when she was little. Anywyas Miroku happened to see her & he was kind to her & he asked her how old she was. Anywyas hit seemed he also wanted to ask her to bear his child but realized she was too young.

So they are roped into helping her. Anywyas he & Sango have a little talk later & she's like you've never asked me to bear your child & jhe's like forgive my oversight. Anywyas while Kagome & Koharu are off on their own by the river they are watched unseen by Kanna who has a strange mirror. Amnywyas Koharu wants to go with them & Inuaysha's like no way. Miroku has meanwhile found a new palce for her to stay. He goes off with Koharu to tell her & the girls & Shippo & Inuyasha watch. Sango gets mad when Inuaysha says she's been acting touchy lately. Later that night they leave her in her new hom & leave. Then Kanna shows up & We see Koharu's face in her mirror. Then we see Koharu passed out on the floor, while it looks like Kophauru has taken her soul into the mirror.

The gang are on their way to a new adventure after leaving Koharu behind. Kagome hopes she'll be okay & Sango asks Miroku if he regrets not being with Koharu...& he's like if I left her a 'momento' she'd never leave me alone...anyways they turn around when they hear a huge noise & see the villagers are coming after them. After a brief fight they realize the villagers are being controled by someone. (I wonder who? Hint: Nasty evil bees are here....^^) So then Miroku freaks & goes off to check on Koharu. She looks like she's fine as she tells him she only fainted. They are then all surrounded by the villagers. Anywyas Sango is miffed cuz the guys tell her to watch over everyone & she's like what about me? Anywyas Koharu tells them that she saw a demon before she fainted so the girls & Shippo run into the hut to see. It's the creepy Kanna & her mirror. Anywyas Sango throws her boomeranga at her & Kanna deflects back at her. Then the little creep gpoes after Kagome as Sango is out for the count. She wants Kagome's soul. Meanwhile the guys are battling the villagers & are trying not to hurt them at the same time. Then Kagura shows up.
