Since Kagome reclaimed most of her soul, Kikyo now walks the land and steals the souls from young girls. This act inadvertently leads Kagome right to her!
  • Another exciting episode is why I was this series.

    Another exciting episode is why I was this series. Well it starts off is that someone is stilling souls, at night time and that is young ladies souls. So inuyasha and the gang investigates and stay over night. Someone did try to still the princesses soul but was stopped, they still don't know whos stilling the souls. Later a priest try to stop kiko from using the lost souls, and told her that she needs to return to where she came from. kiko killed him while the little girl sio was watching, inuyasha found out it was kiko doing and sought out to find her you can tell that kogame was jealous and angry and didnt follow him.moreless
  • One of the best episodes this season so far,

    Gotta love the comedy first off, really hilarious. This episode has got some great lines like Kagome and the "Find your inner saint" bit. I was laughing like a maniac for a good half of the episode. Miroku finally finds a girl who adores him- too bad he doesn't like her back!

    Anyway, intrigueing with Kikyo, makes you want to sit down and watch more of it. I loved the piece with the two wierdo monks and the one practically tripping over his own two feet just to escape from Kikyo. Shame about the little kids though, real shame.

    This episode still leaves a bit of confusion about why exactly Kikyo needs the souls but it also does clear up confusion from the past episode with Urasue.

    Excellent, classic, you should definetley watch this one.moreless

    • Princess: Don't leave me, Miroku. I'm scared. Miroku: You're scary enough yourself. Princess: Monk, how can you be so cruel?

    • Inuyasha: If you're lying you're gonna wish we left you in the river!

    • Inuyasha: Uhh, isn't this a little close, Kagome? Kagome: Deal with it, she's creeping me out. It's almost like she could spring to life any minute now. Inuyasha: That was your motivation? Kagome: What else would it be? Hey, get your mind out of the gutter and concentrate on what we're supposed to be doing! Inuyasha: Gutter? As if. You were the one who jumped me and started pressing flesh!

    • Kagome: Think about it. Inuyasha's probably still in love with Kikyo.
