With the power granted by a large piece of the Shikon Jewel, Narakus scheming is in high gear as his minions go forth to do his bidding. Kikyo, the priestess whose duty it once was to guard the jewel, gave the fragment to him, but why? Then Inuyasha takes on another of Narakus evil offspring, a demon that inhabits the very sword his half brother Sesshomaru wields. Narakus human origins may yet prove to be his downfall if Kikyo can exploit his weaknesses by forcing him to make a difficult choice, one that is mirrored by Inuyashas lost love for Kikyo and a possible future with Kagome!
