Inuyasha's group returns to Kaede's village to tell her of Kikyo's death. As they talk, she states that Kagome's power was probably sealed by Magatsuhi, the evil will of the Shikon Jewel that did it out of fear of Kagome's powers. Meanwhile, Naraku enables Magatsuhi to manifest as a demon. With his new body, Magatsuhi attacks Sesshomaru's group to try to take Kohaku's shard. Sesshomaru struggles to defend the boy without a weapon and having only one arm. Inuyasha's group arrives to find Sesshomaru's right arm badly wounded and Kohaku's shard being defiled. As Inuyasha confronts Magatsuhi, he renders Kagome unconscious. Sesshomaru uses his will to heal his wounds, annoyed at Inuyasha's telling him to backdown, and assumes his true form to attack Magatsuhi. The brothers struggle to battle Magatsuhi, while protecting their respective groups. Eventually Magatsuhi spears Sesshomaru and traps him, saying he will be come part of Naraku's body. The others fear he is dead, and when Inuyasha rushes to free him he is captured as well. Sesshomaru bursts through the ball of appendages, and as Totosai arrives, Sesshomaru's left arm is restored and he is wielding a new sword. Totosai calls it Bakusaiga and says it was always inside Sesshomaru, but could not be wielded until he surpassed his father and learned let go of his obsession with Tetsusaiga. Kagome finally awakens.
