                                        Episode 155
                            The Devil that Guards the Shikon Shard
 Smirking victoriously, Naraku severs Tekkei’s head releasing a torrent of demonic blood. The gruesome cascade is the pathway to the Other World and Naraku dares Inuyasha to follow. The group pursues Naraku down the gory, tainted river. Inuyasha and the others follow the grisly passage to the portal of the demon graveyard. Kagome senses something troubles Inuyasha. Kagome shouts she senses the fragment ahead. Myoga identifies the crystals as kongouseki, diamonds.Using Tetsusaiga, Inuyasha clears a path towards their assailant. The kongouseki spears come from Inuyasha’s father’s remains and, as the team draws closer, they spot a crystalline demon clinging to the dog general’s ancient armor. Kagome pinpoints the source of the Shikon fragment. Like the diamond projectiles, the fragment’s energy comes from Inuyasha’s father. Inuyasha demands to know why the demon is stuck to his father. Myoga emerges, recognizing the creature as the late Hosenki - the jewel demon. In an effort to calm the situation, Myoga introduces Inuyasha to Hosenki as the General’s son, not his enemy. Though Hosenki remembers hearing of Inuyasha, and the black pearl, he demands Inuyasha to leave. Hosenki explains he’s protecting the last Shikon jewel fragment. Hosenki means to honor the jewel’s request no matter what. As Hosenki refuses to submit to Inuyasha’s demand for the shard, Naraku exerts his omniscient influence over the fragment, corrupting it inside Hosenki without the ancient demon’s detection. Hosenki renews his attack with vigor and diamond spears shoot from his body. Complicating the battle, Inuyasha suffers another bout of flashbacks and Hosenki takes advantage of his momentary weakness. As Inuyasha hacks away in vain at Hosenki, the others try to help. Sango destroys some of the jeweled salvo with the Hiraikotsu and Kagome draws a bead on the corrupted jewel fragment inside Housenki. Although Kagome’s arrows find their target, Hosenki is resistant to even her power: Hosenki is a Great Demon and his power is massive. Kagome reaches for Kikyo’s special arrow, but it rejects her much to her dismay, and Inuyasha’s. Noticing a flaw in Hosenki’s diamond body where the first arrow struck, Inuyasha instructs Kagome to shoot another arrow into the same spot. She does, weakening Hosenki enough for Inuyasha to blast the wound with Tetsusaiga.

Warily, Naraku greets Sessho-maru, asking if he’s come to help his little brother. Sesshoumaru responds with stony silence, ignoring Naraku as he proceeds towards his father’s grave.

Ungai and his monks arrive but see the destruction, not true culprits. Believing Sesshoumaru is responsible for the ruined village Ungai tries to exterminate the demon lord, failing miserably.

When Ungai goes inside to get her, he recognizes Rin. Seizing Rin, she threatens him with Sesshoumaru and Ungai realizes his fortune having found the perfect bait to lure his nemesis to extermination. Ungai’s wait for his enemy is brief when Rin’s cries for help attract Sesshoumaru right away. Ungai’s team performs their drill of destruction but it only irritates the demon lord. The commotion also attracts other members of Sesshoumaru’s family: Inuyasha and the others arrive at Ongokoki’s cave. When the exterminator team’s tactics fail against Sesshoumaru, Ungai tries the personal approach. The monk throws everything he has at Sesshoumaru but Sesshoumaru blasts the smug exterminator with a strong shot of power. Ungai is knocked to the ground, his staff shattered and his team out cold. Sesshoumaru calls Rin, but Ungai has one more ploy. Rin just smiles, waves goodbye and happily scampers after Sesshoumaru. Ungai is defeated and dumfounded.
