Seekers of the Sacred Jewel --- Shikon no Tama o Nerau Monotachi
Inuyasha is determined to get the Shikon no Tama from Kagome even if he has to kill her , but Kaede
quickly casts an enchanted rosemary around his
neck which violently drags Inuyasha to the ground every time Kagome says "Osuwari" (sit).
Kaede tells Kagome that she is the reincarnation of Kikyo and therefore the one who should take care of
the jewel, that Inuyasha wants the Shikon no Tama because he's only a half demon and that Kagome has
to watch out since the jewel will attract demons as well as people with evil in their hearts.
With a bag full of fruits and vegetables she received from the villagers Kagome tries to make friends
with Inuyasha and wants to make him understand that she is not Kikyo so he shouldn't be mad at her for
anything that might have happened between the two of them.
Two days has now gone by and Kagome misses her family.
Without warning anyone she ventures back to the forest in order to hopefully find a way to get
back again, but once she reach the well she gets kidnapped by a bunch of men who takes her
to their leader.
But once there, the leader starts to act all weird, demanding for the Shikon no Tama and waving so
carelessly around with his word that he even slashes one of his own men.
Just when everything seemed hopeless for Kagome Inuyasha knocks down a wall and rescue her,
discovering that the leader was a corpse with it's heart carved out by a crow demon.
But the flesh eating crow demon managed to escape with the Shikon no Tama, and, to make it even worse,
it kidnapped a child while escaping.
Since Kikyo was an excellent archer Inuyasha forced Kagome to
shoot after it, but after missing several times he gave up the idea and knocked the demon into a river
with his bare hands.
While thanking swimming classes, Kagome jumps into the river and saves the
kidnapped child from drowning, while the crow demon starts to regenerate because of the Shikon no Tama
he had swollen.
Quickly Kagome attaches the monster's claw from the boy's clothes to an arrow and that
way manages to shoot the demon, which dies emitting strange sparkles of lights all over the sky.
Later, while searching for the jewel,
Inuyasha discovers a small Shikon no Tama shard.
