                       Vanishing Point: Naraku Disappears
Sesshomaru and Naraku face off at Naraku's castle. Naraku senses Inuyasha's arrival and decides to conclude the fight with Sesshomaru. Jaken watches helplessly as his master is cocooned and the monster prepares to swallow Sesshomaru's demon power. Before Naraku does that, Inuyasha explodes into the courtyard and was eager to fight. Inuyasha battles on, but is quickly attentive in the same tentacles wrapping Sesshomaru. Naraku can’t resist taunting Inuyasha about his lack of power, which is all it takes to ignite another wave of rage. Inuyasha breaks free of Naraku's trap, blasting him point blank with another Kaze no Kizu attack. The strike weakens Naraku’s grasp on Sesshomaru enough to allow him to burst through and escape. Joining forces, the brothers mount a ferocious battle and seriously wound Naraku. However, their old sibling rivalry returns over which of them gets to kill the demon. Their squabble allows Naraku enough time to get away. Sesshomaru starts to power up into his demon-dog form, when Naraku reminds him about the danger Rin faces with her present captor, Kohaku. Watching Naraku spiral off in a swirl of mist, Inuyasha asks Sesshomaru about Rin's abduction and the connection with Kohaku.Sesshomaru departs to rescue Rin. Jaken is left behind to answer Inuyasha’s questions after a little persuasion. Back at the house where Kohaku is holding Rin captive, Kagome and the team battle the demons. While the battle is on, Kohaku escapes with Rin.Inuyasha picks up Kagome and tells the others they're going ahead to find Kohaku. Inuyasha must find Kohaku first ( if Sesshomaru beats them to Kohaku, Inuyasha knows he'll kill Kohaku for taking Rin). Further ahead in the forest, Kohaku leads Rin through the woods. Rin wonders why Kohaku is strange.He draws his scythe and moves to strike her down. Rin runs away in panic, but is snared by Kohaku’s scythe chain. Kohaku moves in for the kill and Rin faints from fear. Sesshomaru arrives in time to catch Kohaku poised for the death strike. But before he lands the blow to Rin, Kohaku’s attention turns to Sesshomaru and he attacks with the scythe.Inuyasha has arrived in the nick of time. Sesshomaru ignores Inuyasha's request to leave the boy alone, grabs Kohaku and prepares to kill him. Kagome ,with Rin, cradled protectively in her arms, begs Sesshomaru to show mercy( that Rin has just fainted and is unhurt). Sesshomaru releases him and he falls heavily to the ground. During the commotion, Kagura escapes with Kohaku on her flying feather. When Sango, Miroku and Shippo arrive, Inuyasha and Kagome fill them in on events. Sango is sad, but relieved that Kohaku survived his encounter with Sesshomaru. Inuyasha is left wondering where the badly injured Naraku might be hiding, now that his castle has been discovered and it‘s barrier broken. Back at Naraku's deserted castle, the wandering Kikyo stands in the battle-scared courtyard and wonders the same thing.

                      Gap Between the Ages
 Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango stand in the ruins of Naraku’s castle, wondering if the demon will return; now that his barrier has been breached. While Inuyasha and the others brood, back in contemporary Tokyo, Kagome sits in school with problems of her own: the teacher just announced a test in a couple of days and Kagome hasn‘t studied. After school, Kagome scrambles to get a copy of the study notes from her friends but meets with one frustration after another. Kagome is left to cram for the test, note less, all on her own. On the other side of the well, Inuyasha is irritable because Kagome hasn’t returned. Miroku intervenes, convincing Inuyasha since they can’t find Naraku anyway; the team ought to use the time for rest. Later that evening, Sango sits alone beneath the stars, wondering about Kohaku’s whereabouts. Miroku joins her, initially for moral support , which quickly turns into immoral advances. The sound of Sango’s slap to Miroku rings through the night and into Kaede’s home, where it seems to be the last straw for the impatient Inuyasha. Back at the Higurashi Shrine, Kagome storms through the house, determined to catch up her studies in time for the exam. Kagome walks into the living room and finds Inuyasha waiting to take her back to the past. Kagome informs Inuyasha she’s staying put in the present and taking her exam. Inuyasha seems quite content to wait at the Higurashi’s until Kagome’s ready to go back with him. Kagome orders Inuyasha to stay at home while she’s at school. Later, they hook up and Inuyasha completes his errand from Mom and delivers Kagome’s lunch. Inuyasha sternly warns her they’re going back to the past the next day, test or no test. Kagome resumes her work and felt pretty weird ( it’s too quiet). When she turns around again, she sees that Inuyasha has fallen soundly asleep, curled up on her bed. The next day at school, Kagome stumbles through her exam. Later, returning to the past, a perky Inuyasha and a bleary, scholastically defeated Kagome greet their companions.

        The Female Wolf Demon and the Lunar Rainbow Promise
 A sudden whirlwind materializes and young, fur-clad girl springs out of the maelstrom, kneeling in respect behind the creature. The shot pans back to reveal a line of wolves sitting at attention. The lead wolf signs and the entire group, including the girl, leap into action. Later that evening, we find Koga sparring with a group of strange wolves that have been chasing him. He yells at the wolves to ask them why they’re after him, and is answered by the girl from the cliff. Although the girl seems to know Koga, he hasn’t a clue who she might be. Hakkaku and Ginta arrive and recognize her as Ayame, granddaughter of the elder wolf of the northern mountains. Ayame tells him he’s been ordered to assume leadership for all the wolf tribes and she‘s been sent to bring him home (as her husband). Koga is clearly not interested in either proposition; besides he’s already engaged to Kagome. Koga flees, leaving a puzzled and heart-broken Ayame behind. Daytime finds Inuyasha and the team still trying to locate Naraku. They’re stumped, but decide if they keep looking for the Shikon jewel shards, Naraku’s bound to surface. In another part of the woods, Ayame recalls how she and Koga met .Koga, meanwhile, has arrived at the ruins of Naraku’s castle. He finds the evidence that Inuyasha has been there and fought with Naraku. Later, Ayame and her pack have trailed Koga to the castle, where they just miss him! The thing from explodes through the ground and attacks Ayame and her wolves. The creature is a gigantic hairball with huge lips and razor-sharp teeth. Ayame and the pack barely escape, running for their lives. Eventually Ayame catches up with slowpokes Hakkaku and Ginta. They’re still running after Koga, unaware there is monster on their heels. The hairball catches up with the trio, but Ayame is able to repel it long enough for Hakkaku and Ginta to tell her a little about Naraku and the monster’s origins. Further up the road, Inuyasha senses Koga’s approach. Suddenly, everyone senses an evil presence. Hakkaku and Ginta sprint from the forest followed closely by the giant hairball.

Kagome is furious with Koga about telling Ayame that she’s his finance when she isn’t. Koga is furious with Ayame for being in between he and Kagome. Ayame reminds Koga of his promise to marry her Koga genuinely can’t remember any of what happened but the dejected expression on Ayame’s face gives the weight of truth to her story.
