While bathing in a lake, Kagome remembers a conversation with Kaede in which Kaede told Kagome
and Inuyasha to work together as a team and find the Shards of the Sacred Jewel (see episode 2). After Kagome's bath, Kaede
reiterates what she said before about Inuyasha and Kagome teaming up. Inuyasha complains about working with Kagome, who thinks
he hates her because of her resemblance to Kikyo. Meanwhile, Yura is combing hair on a skull and talking to herself about
the Shikon no Tama. Back with Kagome, a woman asks Kaede for some help. Kaede leaves Inuyasha and Kagome to help the woman
(who's daughter suddenly feel ill). Inuyasha tells Kagome change back into her school girl clothes. Kagome assumes its because
she looks like Kikyo. She then tells him that if he keeps being so mean there's no way that they work together. Inuyasha doesn't
care because he thinks he can do it on his own. Kagome tells Inuyasha that she's going back home since he doesn't need her.
In the village, as Kaede tends to the woman's daughter. Kaede notices hair controlling the girl as she suddenly rises. With
a knife in hand, the girl attacks Kaede! In the woods, Kagome arrives at the well. She eventually she that strands of hair
are surrounding the well! Then Yura appears and is surprised that Kagome can see the hair. Inuyasha arrives at the village
and sees the girls with knifes. Inuyasha takes it has a challenge. Back with Kagome, Yura introduces herself as she uses her

to find just a shard! Yura attacks Kagome, who in an attempt to dodge Yura falls into the well. Yura can't find Kagome anywhere
in the well and wonders where she went Back at the village, Inuyasha concludes that the village girls have decided to
kill him. Suddenly an injured Kaede tells Inuyasha not to touch the girls. Inuyasha wonders how Kaede got hurt. Kaede soon
learns that Kagome returned home. Kaede then tells Inuyasha that the girls are being controlled, so he shouldn't harm them.
In the distance, Yura controls the hair and wraps Inuyasha in the hair. When the village men (who are also being controlled)
appear, Kaede tells Inuyasha that he has to retreat, so he does. As Yura is gathering her strands she notices one of Inuyasha's
silver hair strands and decides that she wants more. In the present, Kagome is delighted to be home again. Back in the past,
