Kagome's friends each face difficult challenges as Naraku intensifies his efforts to gain complete control of the shards of the Shikon Jewel. Kohaku struggles to free himself from Naraku's grip, but doing so means facing up to the terrible deeds of his past. Then, while Inuyasha battles one enemy after another in his search to gain mastery over the heirloom blade Tetsusaiga, Kagome confronts Tsubaki, yet another pawn of Naraku's and one that may poison her soul. And even Naraku's servants scheme against him when Kagura tries to bring Koga into an attempt to free herself from Naraku's control. The coming of the new moon risks exposing Inuyasha's secret-how much has Kagura seen?
Brotherly Love The battle with Muso, the Man with No Face, continues. Who is this new incarnation of Naraku and what is his connection to Inuyasha and Kikyo? While Inuyasha and Kagome deal with Muso and then search for a way to make Tetsusaiga more powerful, Naraku never stops making his evil plans. After capturing Rin, Naraku tries to pressure Sesshomaru into killing Inuyasha. But will Sesshomaru do Naraku's evil bidding? Then a group calling itself the Band of Seven appears. Who are these new enemies, and what do they want with Inuyasha?
By Uneasy Allies Our friends are drowning in enemies! First, Miroku and Sango face a poisonous adversary; then, Inuyasha is attacked by the half-man, half-machine--but all evil--monstrosity known as Ginkotsu. Later, our friends encounter a mountain so sacred that most of them aren't even good enough to set foot on it. And finally, when their battle with the undead assassins known as the Band of Seven looks all but lost, Inuyasha and his comrades get some unlikely help from his brother, Sesshomaru, and rival, wolf demon Koga. Everything comes down to a fiery climax as another one of Naraku's malevolent plots is revealed!
Uneasy Alliances To get the drop on Naraku, Kohaku hides the fact that he has recovered his memory. But can he handle the knowledge of the evil he has committed while in Naraku's thrall...? When Inuyasha and his allies become locked in combat with Hakudoshi, their erstwhile enemy Kagura fights by Inuyasha's side. Can she be trusted...? Then, while Naraku and Midoriko seek to capture Koga and Kohaku and rip the Shikon Jewel shards out of their bodies, Inuyasha and the gang stumble across a sword with intriguing powers. Could this new weapon be the key to a definitive victory...?
Destiny of a Sword Inuyasha is attacked by a corrupted human wielding a mysterious sword known as 'Dakki.' If our hero loses this battle, he will lose his mighty sword Tetsusaiga as well! Then, the corpse of the turtle demon Meioju is revived by a piece of Moryomaru's flesh. Meioju's shell is said to be the toughest of any armored demon... Even with the aid of Sesshomaru, does Inuyasha stand a chance of penetrating Meioju's armor?! Finally, a battle with a treacherous tree demon leaves our friends...puzzled. What devious plan is Naraku concocting now...?'
A Terrible Price Inuyasha embarks on a quest to learn how to properly handle his blade Tetsusaiga. Unfortunately, the master trainer he seeks has problems of his own. Can Inuyasha solve them without accidentally slaying innocent women, children and even harmless demons? Then, Inuyasha must rescue wolf demon Koga, his rival for Kagome's affections - but at what terrible price?! And when one of Naraku's plans backfires, the evil schemer must face an internal enemy as well as Moryomaru. Has Naraku finally met his match in the form of one of his own creations...?
Lost Love The forces of good and evil battle it out inside the very bodies of Kikyo and Naraku…and ultimately the Shikon Jewel itself. Then Inuyashas half brother Sesshomaru is trapped in the world of the dead. Will he find the key that opens the door to the world of the living? Meanwhile, Inuyasha and the others stumble upon a strange village ruled by a demon with peculiar feeding habits...
Inuyasha and friends lose a mortal enemy, but not before they receive a shocking message. Then Inuyasha and Sesshomaru learn the story behind their blades' awesome powers...one that is yet to be finished as the truth pits brother against brother. Meanwhile, their arch-nemesis Naraku strives to corrupt the spark of purity Kikyo managed to instill in the Shikon Jewel. Things get briefly less serious when Shippo enters a fox demon competition, and Kagome learns a piece of critical lore about the Shikon Jewel - as well as the secret behind the incredible powers she cannot access. But then Naraku takes on a particularly malevolent new form!
