While Inuyasha goes down into the depths of the mountain to retrieve Koga, the rest of the group struggle to escape the collapsing Mount Hakurei. Meanwhile, Naraku comes after Kikyo, who questions his purpose. Naraku says that he lured her to the mountain. He now is longer held back by the human heart of Onigumo, now in the possession of Kagura. Kikyo is now defeated and is thrown into the crevices of the cliff. Sesshomaru enters to attack Naraku, in which it is absorbed and reflected back. After Naraku takes his leave, InuYasha learns from Sesshomaru that Kikyo has died.
