Description:
As the tapestry of her "feudal fairy tale" grows richer, Rumiko Takahashi draws on traditional Japanese sources for a bizarre array of monsters and villains. Trapped in an artificial clay body, Kikyo's soul becomes a hungry ghost out of folk tales. She uses the spirits of dead women to maintain her physical form until she can slay Inu-Yasha. When Kagome interferes, Kikyo learns of Naraku's treachery and the real cause of her death. Naraku's evil plots continue: when Sango, a girl who kills demons with a boomerang-like blade, is injured battling a spider monster (an enemy that occurs frequently in Kabuki plays),

Naraku's evil plots continue: when Sango, a girl who kills demons with a boomerang-like blade, is injured battling a spider monster (an enemy that occurs frequently in Kabuki plays), Naraku murders everyone in her village. He blames Inu-Yasha, hoping Sango will kill him. Kagome and Myoga begin to explore the origins and nature of the "sacred jewel" that radiates power yet brings misfortune to everyone who approaches it.

Bound to a tree and rendered invisible to anyone but Kikyo, Kagome is eventually bears witness to Inuyasha's true feelings… Finally, rumors that Demon-Slayers are said to live where the Sacred Jewel was born send Inuyasha and the others racing to the scene.
