Kagome skips out on cleaning duty with her friends, only to bump into Hojo (who surprise, surprise has another gift.)
He asks her out to a movie on Saturday, which she accepts. As she returns to the Warring States Period, she asks Inuyasha
if they'll she can go back on Saturday, he says she can because he doesn't know when Saturday is. Back in the past, Kagome,
Inuyasha and a seasick Shippo are on boat in a river. Kagome enjoys the scenery and Shippo hangs by the edge of the boat while
Inuyasha is extra bitter and asks Kagome is she senses any shards, which she doesn't. They then notice a huge spider web spread
across the river banks. Then a girl falls from a nearby cliff after fending of a spider demon. Much to her dismay she's rescued
by a half-demon, Inuyasha. The girl, Nazuna, explains that the spider demons have been around for awhile. Kagome offers to
help Nazuna, but she refuses due to the youkai with her. She leaves by climbing up a vine on the cliff but falls off when
the vine breaks. Kagome then offers to take her home. They arrive at her home, a large Buddhist temple, where they are greeted
by a priest who has been taking care of Nazuna since her family was killed by spider demons. Reluctantly, Inuyasha accepts
an invitation spend the night at the temple. After the sunsets, Inuyasha is very edgy. Shippo assumes that Inuyasha is afraid
of spiders but Inuyasha tells him that he isn't and he'll sleep alone tonight, as he leaves he notices that they are surrounded
by spider demons, who seem to have broken the barrier the priest claimed to put up. Nazuna frantically searches for the priest
but is shocked to find him covered in webbing.
Inuyasha takes out Tetsusaiga, but it doesn't transform to fight the demons.
He fends them off a little but manages to get partially covered in webbing. He, Kagome, Myouga and Shippo run and find safety
in the forest. When Kagome pulls the webbing from Inuyasha's head she's shocked to see that he has black hair! Myouga tells
Kagome that Inuyasha looses his demon power whenever there is a new moon. Myouga didn't notice the new moon and is appalled
that Inuyasha didn't tell him that it was. Kagome is also disappointed that Inuyasha didn't trust her enough to tell her about
the new moon humanization. Inuyasha says that he doesn't trust anyone, which causes Kagome to cry. Shippo concludes that since
he's the only demon left, he has to fight. However, Shippo is freaked when the bushes rustle due to a battered Nazuna approaching.
Kagome then realizes that she left her bag, with the Shikon shards in it. Inuyasha then tells Kagome and Nazuna to stay where
they are and he and Shippo will go and get the shards. Inuyasha gives Tetsusaiga to Kagome and heads off.
At the temple,
the priest reveals his true nature as a spider demon by stealing the Shikon shards from Kagome's bag. Inuyasha and Shippo
show up in time to stop from eating all of shards. Shippo quickly retrieves the remaining shards but is pushed by the priest's
extending arm. He then reveals his true self and transforms into a huge spider demon. He bites Inuyasha's shoulder while he
is covered in freshly spat webbing. Kagome and Nazuna then show up. Nazuna is shocked to see that the priest was really the
enemy. The priest spider shoots webbing but it doesn't reach Kagome and Nazuna due to Tetsusaiga's barrier. Kagome then sees
Inuyasha, Priest-Spider tells her that he's injected Inuyasha with poison. Kagome then tearfully jumps up to save him, using
Tetsusaiga's barrier to break the webbing holding Inuyasha up. She saves and the five (Kagome, Inuyasha, Shippo and Nazuna)
find safety in a small room. Upon Myouga's suggestion, Kagome sticks Tetsusaiga in the door to keep the Priest-Spider or other
spider demons from entering. Myouga sucks all the poison from Inuyasha's body. Inuyasha, however is still somewhat incapacitated,
he wakes when Kagome wipes the sweat off his head. Inuyasha asks Kagome why she cried when she saved him, she tells him that
she thought he would die. Inuyasha places his head on Kagome's lap to prop his head up. Inuyasha tells Kagome she smells nice
and that he lied when he said she didn't. Kagome is touched, but the sentiment doesn't last long, Priest-Spider has surrounded
the entire temple and smashes the roof in on the group's safe haven.
Angered by this Nazuna picks up Tetsusaiga and attacks
Priest-Spider, her attacks are futile as they do no harm to Priest-Spider. Inuyasha, with Tetsusaiga, then stands up to fight
and Priest-Spider picks him up to finish him off. But the rising sun proves that won't happen as Inuyasha returns to himself
and uses a transformed Tetsusaiga to kill the Priest-Spider and the other Demon-Spiders. Later that day, Nazuna thanks Inuyasha
and the others as they sail down the river. On the boat, Shippo returns to sea-sickness. And Kagome realizes that since Inuyasha
is back to his old self she shouldn't ask him about the whole "smelling good" thing.
