In rescuing a damsel in distress, Miroku's Wind Tunnel starts to unravel. Will he be swallowed whole by the void? Later, Kohaku - brought back from the dead by a shard of the Sacred Jewel - is implicated in several murders. Sango is ordered to steal Tetsusaiga from Inuyasha, or else Kohaku will die a second time!

Meanwhile villagers who fear his strength torment a half demon, Jinenji, who lives peacefully with his "Ma" tending herbs. Sensing something of his own stuggle in the gentle giant's plight, Inuyasha decides to help when Jinenji is unfairly accused.
