While InuYasha is distracted by a demon summoned by Tsubaki, Kagome struggles as she tries to break the curse. She dreams of her life if she had never met InuYasha, waking up after seeing an illusion of Kikyo. As Tsubaki diverts InuYasha, Miroku, and Sango with a raid of summoned demons, she sends Shikigami after Kagome. However, Tsubaki is defeated as Kagome reflects Tsubaki's attack back at her exactly as Kikyo did fifty years ago.
