Sesshomaru receives an ultimatum from Naraku, who threatens the safety of Rin for the death of InuYasha, to which he calmly enters in his castle. Sesshomaru faces off against Naraku, but is unaware that Naraku plans to absorb him. Kagome pursue a shard of the Shikon Jewel, which is likely embedded in Kohaku, who is ordered to guard Rin. InuYasha is blocked off by Kagura, who halfheartedly tried to fight him, since she desires InuYasha to kill Naraku and free her from his grasp.
