Kikyo meets an old male bandit named Rasetsu, who explains that he was a criminal fifty years ago. He unveils that Onigumo sent him to strike Kikyo to steal the Shikon Jewel. However, InuYasha gouged out his right eye, causing him to immolate Onigumo in revenge. An eye incarnation of Naraku, also abandoned in the castle, seeks Rasetsu's shard of the Shikon Jewel. Nonetheless, the eye incarnation is electrocuted, due to Kikyo's sacred arrow. Rasetsu requests Kikyo to bury his lock of hair as his dying wish.
