Inuyasha and the gang try to track down Kagura. In the process, they discover something Naraku has in common with Inuyasha!?
Original Air Date: 22 Apr 2002, Streamed on: Hulu
Sesshomaru rejects Kagura’s offer, so she rides off on her feather. He ponders whether she can defeat Naraku on her own with the sacred jewel.
Miroku deduces that Naraku’s powers must be weak because Inuyasha and Koga smell the castle and Kagura is running free. Inuyasha realizes that Naraku must be a half-demon, too!
Kagura shows up, and the gang quickly tries to hide Inuyasha’s human form. Shardless Koga still has beef with Kagura, but his attack is fruitless. After stomping him into the ground, Kagura resolves to use Koga’s two shards to kill Naraku herself.
Naraku’s demons appear, distracting Kagura, and Koga finds an opening to attack her, knocking the shards free. Before he can grab them, she attacks again. Inuyasha makes a run for the jewel shards as the sun starts to rise.
Kagura raises her fan to finish off Koga with a final strike, unleashing another cyclone right on top of him! When the dust clears, human Inuyasha and Miroku stand over Koga, thanks to one of Miroku’s barriers. Just before Inuyasha reverts to his half-demon form, Kagura sees him in his human form.
Inuyasha blocks a dancing dragons attack with the wind scar. Kagura fears for her life, but Naraku’s demon horde protects her.
Koga recovers his shards in the aftermath and runs off.
Kanna leads Kagura into the cellar of Naraku’s castle, where Naraku confronts her. She figures out his half-demon secret, but he threatens her back into submission.

Did you miss it?
When Inuyasha figures out Naraku’s half-demon secret, it is a great epiphany for him, but Kagome talks about it as if it was totally obvious this whole time, like duh.
