While Kagome relaxes at home, Inuyasha comes through the well to retrieve her—unaware that a strand of Yura's demon hair clings to his shoulder. To stop her from attacking the modern world, Kagome returns to the past with Inuyasha. They face Yura in battle, but she traps them in flames from her demonic comb.

Sesshomaru forces the truth from the demon and extracts a black pearl from Inuyasha's eye—revealing their father's grave. He enters it in search of the legendary sword, Tetsusaiga. Kagome and Inuyasha follow. Though the sword is meant for Inuyasha, it's Kagome who first draws it from its resting place.
