Kikyo is reunited with Inuyasha. She advises him not to take Kagome with him, because Naraku will go to the other world and use Kagome's eyes to find the Sacred Jewel shard. Kikyo plans to go in her place. Inuyasha is worried that she has not completely healed, and stops her.

Naraku has cut off Tekkei's head. He heads to the place between this world and the next on the river of blood that comes gushing out. Inuyasha and the gang go after him, even though they know it's a trap. Sesshomaru arrives one moment too late.
