Meido Zangetsuha.Totosai approaches Sesshomaru to tell him that the Tenseiga can now be reforged into an offensive weapon, since Sesshomaru has now experienced rage and sorrow for someone other than himself. In the present, Kagome's grandfather tells her that the Shikon Jewel can only be erased from the world if the one who had obtained it makes the one correct wish. However, their conversation deviates from her worries about passing her academic studies. Elsewhere, Inuyasha and the others find an inn, where fox demons play tricks on others to try to advance in demon rank. As some of the fox demons disguise themselves as beautiful women, Miroku has no problems with being tricked, much to Sango's discontent. After accidentally entering the test, Shippo plays several tricks on Inuyasha, clobbering him each time. Shippo retreats into the forest where he meets a girl named Mujina, determined to avenge her father by using her sword to absorb demonic energy. After Mujina absorbs demonic energy from Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga a few times, Inuyasha blocks the released attack and uncovers Mujina to be a fat, badger demon (mujina) in disguise before sending him into the sky. Meanwhile, Sesshomaru learns the Meido Zangetsuha technique, which cuts a small path to the Underworld and sends one's opponent there directly. Having gained a powerful offensive technique to replace Tokijin, Sesshomaru decides that he will be the one to choose whether or not Kagura died in vain.
