One of my least favorites.

"Good"

The episode starts off with Kouga getting attacked by some white wolves. He then finds out that the demon who sent them is called Ayame who claims that their engaged. Meanwhile a stange fur ball looking demon comes to attack InuYasha and the gang. While InuYasha handles this demon who smells like Naraku, Kouga comes in and bring Kagome to a safer place. He is then attacked again by Ayame who tries to remind him of when they got engaged. I didn't really like this episode. Nothing really happens and the fighting scenes with the fur ball demon were boring. I don't recommend this episode because nothing really happens.moreless

Kago says that he already has fiance and leaves. Ayame went after him and kago ended up at naraku use to be castle that was abandon. He left shortly after that than ayame showed up a minute to late to discover that theirs a demon there. So she took off running, meanwhile kago caught up with inuyasha and the demon came to attack kogame. Kago took kagame and went some where safe he was stopped by ayame leafs and ask why are you with this person.

QUOTES (3)
ADD QUOTES
- Koga: That's what I don't understand. What would force Naraku to abandon his castle and run away?
  Inuyasha: Heh! You wanna know the truth, wolf? It's because I busted through Naraku's barrier with the Tetsusaiga! (Koga gasps) Shocked at my strength? Well, you should be.
  Koga: You mean you got that close to Naraku...and you let him get away from you? How stupid can you get!
  EDIT SHARE
- Ayame: I don't like this! Your name sounds just like mine.
