In the present, Grandpa, out of habit, keeps telling Kagome's friends that she has some disease when they call. Kagome
reprimands Grandpa for lying when she's at home. Kagome then leaves for her date with Hojo. On her way out, she checks the
well and wonders what Inuyasha is doing. Royakan knocks Inuyasha back causing him to drop the large Shikon shard. But before
Royakan can claim it, Shippo takes it and runs only to be chased by the wolves. Shippo makes it to the well and hides there.
In the present, as Kagome walks down the stairs she feels a Shikon shard, she rushes to see if it's Inuyasha, but it's not
and when she looks at her watch she sees that she's late for her date with Hojo. At lunch with him she can't thinking about
Inuyasha. Hojo thinks that she's still sick and is forcing herself to come. Kagome soon splits and returns home. In the past,
Inuyasha fights hard to beat Royakan but just can't. Kaede figures that since Kagome isn't there, Inuyasha can't fight at
his best. In the present, Kagome digs at the dirt at the bottom of the well to find the Shikon shard. In the past, the shard
glows and Kagome returns to the Warring States Period, pleasing Shippo immensely. However the reunion is cut short as the
wolves start climbing down the tree in the well. A the Battle Field, Inuyasha senses Kagome and suddenly becomes stronger
and easily knocks Royakan down. Inuyasha rushes to the well and removes the tree and shoves it into Royakan's mouth knocking
him out and getting rid of the wolves. Kagome hugs Inuyasha and tells about how concerned she was. Inuyasha tells her that
he didn't want he coming back and Kagome starts to cry. Miroku and Kaede are pleased to see Kagome return. Kaede tells Miroku
how it's odd that the bees suddenly disappeared. Off in the distance, Naraku confuses Kagome for Kikyo. Kagome then senses
a lot of Shikon shards. They all rush off in the direction of the shards. Inuyasha realize that it's Naraku. When Naraku addresses
Kaede by name she concludes that Naraku is Onigumo! Naraku explains that when he was Onigumo he was obsessed with Kikyo and
many demons were attracted to his evil thoughts. The demons then entered his body, becoming a part of him giving birth to
Naraku. He explains that he was angered that Kikyo fell in love with "a worthless half-demon." Naraku then drove a wedge between
the two. Naraku tells Inuyasha, that Kikyo died despite the fact that she could've stayed alive by using the Shikon no Tama.
This angers Inuyahsa so he charges at Naraku who jumps into the air. Inuyahsa uses his "Iron Reaper, Soul Stealer" on Naraku
destroying the Baboon skin revealing the true Naraku. Naraku releases a black mist that kills the nearby tree. When the two
land back on the ground. Inuyasha uses Tetsusaiga on Naraku and his cuts of Naraku's shirt revealing a scar in the shape of
a spider on his back. Naraku then disappears. Later on, Kaede assumes that the scar is all that remains of Onigumo. Kagome
removes the shards from Royakan, who then skips off. As Inuyasha sits on nearby tree limb, Kagome wonders how the news of
Kikyo choosing to die will affect Inuyahsa.
