Yuka, Ayumi and Eri sit outside the classroom, waiting for her. All the time she's spent in the Feudal Era has cost her dearly when it comes to her education. In the present at middle school, Kagome is taking yet another make up exam however, she can't understand any of the questions. Reverting to his normal form, Shippō claims that Miroku threatened him with his Kazaana Sango only sighs and says this is typical. Unfortunately, no sooner does Miroku says this, Sango arrives and knocks him out with a plank of wood. Confirming Shippō's question, Miroku tells him that he's going to "spread his wings" a little. Miroku asks Shippō to spend time around Sango in his form, prompting Shippō to ask if he means for the entire time Inuyasha is in Kagome's time. After examining Shippō, Miroku finds that nothing's wrong with the transformation no-one would suspect it wasn't Miroku. Kagura immediately realizes Hakudōshi is saying they need to get the remaining four jewel shards.Įlsewhere, by the Bone-Eater's Well, Miroku asks Shippō transform into him he does so, albeit with Miroku's staff. Hakudōshi explains that at the moment, they lack sufficient strength to overthrow Naraku, and there's only one way of getting more power.

Hakudoshi laughs at her, prompting Kagura to ask what they would ask of her. Hakudōshi promises Kagura that he will return her heart right before obliterating Naraku Kagura asks if he doesn't have any fear of Naraku. Hearing this, Kagura thinks back to Mount Hakurei, which was when Naraku expelled his heart in the form of the Infant, and when it was split in two during their search for the Borderland, one of the halves regrew into the Infant, while the other became Hakudōshi. Goryōmaru breaks his silence, telling Kagura that she has to choose stay a slave to Naraku or come with him and have her freedom. However, Kagura only laughs at this, asking if Hakudōshi lacks fear of Naraku.

No sooner does she ask Goryōmaru what he is, Hakudōshi arrives and says the only way to get an answer is to let out Goryōmaru. At that time, Kagura watches a cell below Naraku and Kanna, which holds Goryōmaru in it she watches as captured demons are thrown at him continuously for him to kill and absorb. Kagura thinks constantly about how she can be guarding someone who's dead she saw Hakudōshi behead him. Smiling, Naraku says Kagura better not let "him" escape. Night at an abandoned temple, Kanna recites a poem "The longer I endure in this lengthy struggle of life, the more I long for the midnight moon I once saw." Naraku holds Kagura's heart in his hand. Miroku kills Hakudōshi after Naraku removes his barrier and Saimyōshō protection.The Infant and Hakudoshi are conspiring to overthrow Naraku using the powerful Mōryōmaru. Kagura sides with Inuyasha and tells him that the Infant is now inside Mōryōmaru, who was Goryōmaru's demon arm and took his form following his death.However, he was killed by Hakudōshi how can he still be alive? Hakudōshi says the answer lays in him letting out, but that would mean disobeying Naraku has Hakudōshi turned on Naraku just like Kagura? Kagura has been charged with guarding the mysterious Goryōmaru.
