Partially blinded by poison, InuYasha hits Sesshomaru with his new "Wind Scar", causing his brother to disappear in a flash of light. Toto-sai decides that InuYasha is worthy of Tetsusaiga after all and agrees to hone the blade; he also says that Tenseiga chose to save Sesshomaru. Some distance away, Sesshomaru awakes paralyzed by his wounds, but alive. A little girl, Rin, finds him, dumps water on his head, and offers him food which he rejects. The villagers beat Rin for stealing the fish she took to Sesshomaru, but when he asks what happened to her, she just smiles. The wolf-demon Koga leads his pack to Rin's village in search of a jewel shard; all of the villagers are killed, including Rin. Healed from his wounds, Sesshomaru follows the scent of blood to Rin's body and uses Tenseiga to resurrect her. InuYasha's group kill some of Koga's wolves, who howl to summon their leader. When Koga returns to fight, Kagome senses the jewel shards in one of his arms and both legs. Koga retreats before InuYasha can use the Wind Scar, then returns to kidnap Kagome and Shippo. Koga tells Kagome to help him find jewel shards, and that he has taken her for his mate. She shows him the location of the jewel shard implanted in his arch-enemy, the king of the harpy demons. As the wolf-demons fight with the harpies, she saves one of Koga's friends with a sacred arrow; InuYasha's group arrives and help to destroy the harpies, but the harpy king escapes. As Koga and InuYasha fight over Kagome, the harpy king returns to rip the jewel shard out of Koga's arm, severely wounding him. InuYasha destroys the King with the wind-scar and takes his jewel shards, but Kagome stops him from killing Koga for the two shards in his legs. Koga's friends carry him away over his protestations, InuYasha and Kagome argue, and she returns home to modern Tokyo.
