In search of herbs to help Sango recover from the wounds she received in their last battle with Naraku, Inuyasha and company set out to battle a demon who specializes in herbal medicine, only to find he is being blamed for the murder of some of the local populace. Much to their surprise, he turns out to be a gentle giant right out of Mice and Men. So where is the demon that has been chowing down on the villagers? The second and third episodes on the DVD concern a powerful miasma of demonic potency created in a dormant volcano by hundreds of demons battling to the death. And Inuyasha could get sucked right into the middle of it. Meanwhile, Kikyo returns to the story as she is called to heal Naraku, not knowing that this is the being that caused her death and Inuyasha's.

Every time I think Inuyasha is going to run out of ideas or become repetitive, Rumiko Takahashi impresses me again with her constantly evolving storylines and strong characterizations! Kikyo especially continues to evolve, moving from innocent and loving to cold and calculating as she realizes that Inuyasha's heart has moved towards Kagome and away from her. But after all, she is just a shadow, which makes it even sadder. Inuyasha cannot help but still have feelings for her. I don't know how much longer the Naraku storyline can go on. He's beginning to become like a Batman villain, in that he runs away or escapes and there is never a final confrontation. I keep on expecting him to yell "I'll get you next time, Inuyasha!" But still, this is an excellent show and deserves its popularity!

As usual, extras are all but nonexistent: line art, Japanese promos.

Naraku uses a fuko spell to create a new body. Then he captures Kikyo. While Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango and Shippo are trapped in their worst nightmares, Kikyo steals the jewel from Kagome and gives it to Naraku!!!
And the plot thickens...

inuyasha is at it again, he goes following kikyo, and gets himself into trouble, he has to choose.....save kagome or save his old love kikyo?, and then kagome goes to this vilage to find herbs that will help the sick kirara, but on the way she meets another half demon, but kagome an inuaysha to te rescue, this is a very cute, and funny series that is a must have.

Really great episodes as usual. Could Naraku be a more evil villain? And what is Kikyo up to? Can Inuyasha trust her? If she's not on his side, does she side with Naraku? With Kagome's jewel shards stolen by Kikyo and given to Naraku, should Naraku even trust her? It looks like a major dose of deception all around as the amazing plot thickens once again.
