Kohaku fights them off, then runs into the forest with Kagome to hide.

Miroku notices that the demons are still focused on him, InuYasha, and Sango instead of pursuing Kohaku, and concludes that Kohaku is still working for Naraku to get Kagome. Miroku opens his wind tunnel to finish the fighting, in spite of being stung by saimyosho, and Kagura flees.

Naraku's demon puppet orders Kohaku to kill Kagome, but he only wounds her, grabs the jewel shards, and runs away. Sango pursues him alone, planning to kill him to free him from Naraku and then commit suicide. InuYasha stops her and recovers the shards. Kohaku escapes with Kagura's help, but Naraku punishes him by briefly restoring his unbearable memories.

An ancient Magnolia tree-demon, Bokusen'on, whose branches were made into the scabbards of Tetsusaiga and Tenseiga, explains InuYasha's demonic transformation to Sesshomaru.

Gatenmaru, a moth-demon, leads bandits to raid a village. When InuYasha cuts Gatenmaru's war-ax with Tetsusaiga, Gatenmaru envelops InuYasha and Miroku in a poisonous cocoon and tries to take Tetsusaiga, but it burns him as it burned Sesshomaru. InuYasha undergoes his demonic transformation, rips through the cocoon, and kills Gatenmaru and all of the bandits, even though some of them were pleading for their lives.

To test the information from Bokusen'on, Sesshomaru arrives, knocks out InuYasha, and leaves. When the group gives Tetsusaiga back to InuYasha, he returns to his normal form and is appalled at his own actions.
Afraid that he might kill Kagome when transformed, InuYasha asks Toto-sai for advice. Toto-sai suggests killing InuYasha's father's killer, Ryukotsusei, to gain more control over Tetsusaiga. As InuYasha arrives at the place where Ryukotsusei is sealed, Naraku breaks the seal and tells Ryukotsusei that InuYasha is the son of his old enemy.
