Kagome's first dinner back home is interrupted by Inuyasha, who comes to bring her back to the past.
Before they return, Inuyasha gives Kagome his kimono for protection. Meanwhile, Yura anticipates Kagome and Inuyasha's arrival.
As Inuyasha and Kagome leave the well, Kagome notices that the well is surrounded by strands of hair. Kagome concludes that
if they follow the hairs it'll lead them to Yura. On their way to Yura, Inuyasha and Kagome discover a group of samurais who
fell into Yura's trap. Seeing a bow and arrow, Kagome takes them. The two continue on their way. When they reach Yura's hideout
they are attacked by masses of hair. Inuyasha fights the hair and eventually gets captured by it. Then Yura appears and tells
Inuyasha that she heard he was some half-demon that served a priestess years ago, which he denies. Inuyasha attempts to hit
her but she sends more hair at him which causes him to become more tangled in it. Yura admires Inuyasha's hair, but notices
how little Inuyasha takes care of it. Inuyasha swings at Yura, she dodges and then slices him with her sword. Yura licks his
blood off her sword and jumps at him again. However, Kagome fires an arrow at Yura, Yura barely dodges the arrow. Kagome threatens
to shoot again. Inuyasha tells her to stay out of it. Yura then decides to take Kagome's hair, even though it's nothing special.
Angered by this statement, Kagome fires another arrow which hits Yura's big hair-ball home causing her "precious" skulls to
fall out and narrowly misses Inuyasha. Yura, angered by this, decides to kill Kagome. Yura uses her comb to send streams of
fire at Kagome. Kagome is engulfed in flames.
Yura asks Inuyasha how he feels about what she did to Kagome. Inuyasha then
uses the blood from his previous wound to perform his Blades of Blood (Hijinketsou) technique. The attack cuts off Yura's
sword-bearing hand (which remains suspended due to hair), which causes the hair restraining him is loosening. Inuyasha performs
"Blades of Blood" again, but Yura uses the skulls that fell from her house to block it. The disembodied sword hand appears
behind Inuyasha and stabs him through the chest. The hand then reattaches itself to Yura's arm. Yura mocks Inuyasha for being
a weak half demon. As Yura swings her sword to go in for the kill, Inuyasha sticks his arm through her chest. The shard then
falls to the ground, and Yura then steps on Inuyasha's hand as he reaches for it. Yura then feels a tug one of her hairs and
sees that Kagome is climbing up the hair mound. Yura shakes her off it. Inuyasha wonders if Kagome is getting close to something
she doesn't want them find. Kagome then sees a red skull. Yura then attacks Kagome, but Kagome is saved by Inuyasha's "Blades
of Blood". Yura then moves into kill Inuyasha proclaiming her immortality. However, Yura soon stops dead in her tracks as
Kagome uses an arrow to try and puncture the red skull. When Kagome pierces the skull, Yura dies. Kagome reclaims the Shikon
shard. Inuyasha then addresses Kagome by her first name for the first time and the two walk off. Meanwhile, Kaede hopes that
Inuyasha remembered where he buried her (see episode 3).
