this was a particularly good episode from inuyasha, exciting, funny, adventerous all around great episode. I like the original stuff from inuyasha but the older years were good because I like the emotional stuff between Inuyasha and kagome, koga and kagome( which isn't very emotion thing other than it ticks Inuyasha off which was fun to watch haha! well this episode was very fun to watch and I hope to watch it again soon! I missed a whole bunch of episodes when it was on the air because I couldn't stay up long enough to watch but luckily I saw this onemoreless

Episode starts Kagome off squealing about her bath. *puh-lease* lol. She starts thinking about Kaede wanting her and Inuyasha to work together to find the rest of the jewel shards. She stands up, and realizes that Inuyasha is watching her! "AHH! SIT BOY!" Inuyasha does a funny face plant off of a cliff, and Kagome is pissed. Inuyasha tells her he didn't mean to, and he only wanted to steal the jewel shard while she wasn't looking. Yaa, right Anyways, Inuyasha gets all anxious because Kagome looks like Kikyo, and they get into a fight, where Kagome tells Inuyasha she's going home. On her way she gets stopped by Yura. *annoying!* And she gets forced down the well. Meanwhile, Inuyasha's getting' beat up by possessed village girls. For her safety, Inuyasha buries Kaede. Back to Kagome: She's actually back in her own time. She cries 'bout how she was scared. What happens next? Dunno Lets' find outmoreless

great episode, i loved it! it was so funny and the villin was pretty cool too. hair is so nasty, i just kept thinking of hair balls the whole time, and the people looking like zombies was freaky too. inuyasha peeping on kagome was pretty funny too! also it seems that inuyasha had some unresolved feelings for kikio, and his good side is comeing out more and more, its so cute!!! and the old lady seems to trust inuyasha to come back, i wonder why, he so far has not shown any loyalty to any one yet, but i geuss she can sceance things. but it was a really good episode too bad it left off on the end now i really have to see the next one!moreless

The Shikon no Tama has been broken by the ditzy Kagome. Now, Inuyasha is stuck with Kagome to try and find the scattered pieces. Along the way, they meet a Hair Demon by the name of Yura. Yura has a tiny piece of the shikon jewel in a pouch she keeps. That means she's able to pass through to the well in Kagome's time. During the time Kagome is away, Kaede and Inuyasha must fight off the village women that have succumbed to Yura's curse. When Kagome comes back, they have a serious battle on their hands. Inuyasha is brutally hurt and Kagome is cindered near death. But, with the Hoari of Fire on her side, Kagome succeeds into breaking the red skull and killing Yura.moreless

InuYasha really does need Kagome's help, whether he likes it or not.

9.5

"Superb"

InuYasha finally realizes that he does in fact need Kagome's help. He still tries to find the similarities between Kagome and Kikyo. When Kagome wears priestess clothes, InuYasha doesn't like it. Someone's hiding a secret! I liked this episode as well. It introduces a new threat and shows that InuYasha does have a heart.

Kagome is told that she needs to work with InuYasha to recover the jewel shards. They have one from the demon crow so far. Kagome has the power to sense and find the sacred jewel shards, while InuYasha can keep her safe and help her battle the other demons in search of and in possession of any of the shards. InuYasha refuses to work with Kagome and Kagome is fed up with InuYasha.

Later, InuYasha makes Kagome mad and tells her she doesn't belong in the feudal era and should just go home. After tired of hearing it, Kagome finally does decide to go home. Before heading down the well, Kagome is confronted by a female demon, Yura. Yura asks Kagome for the jewel or she'd kill her. Kagome refused, and the demon attacked. she only managed to push Kagome down the well, but recovered the shard Kagome had. Kagome crawled out of the well and was back at home.

Kagome is enjoying her time back home wondering if any of the stuff she experienced in the past few days were real. Meanwhile, the women of the village were being controlled by Yura. They were acting as puppets connected to Yura's hairs. InuYasha couldn't see the hairs. Only someone with spiritual powers could see them. InuYasha needs Kagome and goes to her time to bring her back to the past to help him.moreless
