Inuyasha wanders aimlessly and attempts to fight off his demonic urges. He remembers the death of Kikyo due to Naraku's manipulation, and suddenly recalls his attack on Kagome as well. Separated from the others, Sango and Miroku wander in search of Naraku. Sango can hear the wind blowing from Miroku's Wind Tunnel, even as it is covered. She knows that he doesn't have much time left. Naraku manipulates them and shows the pair the death of Miroku's father when his own Wind Tunnel enveloped him. Miroku is unphased by this but the sight of Miroku's Father's death shocks Sango to the point of tears. Naraku attacks the pair and forces Miroku to open his Wind Tunnel to protect them. Miroku knows that when his hand finally tears open Sango will be at risk too and so he bids her farewell and runs off to die alone. Sango tries to follow on Kirara but cannot find him. Meanwhile Inuyasha finds Rin who is being followed by Magatsuhi. Magatsuhi possesses Inuyasha and prepares to kill Rin just as Sesshomaru and Kagome arrive and hold him off.

Shippo and Jaken begin to fight over the fact that Jaken did not join Sesshomaru in battle, when Kohaku interrupts them and all three head up to find their friends on Aun. The Meido Zangetsuha that Magatsuhi unleashed rips a hole in Naraku's body allowing them to enter.
