Episode 148

Kaede resumes Kikyo's story when Kikyo was caring for Onigumo.

Kikyo is confronted by Tsubaki. Meanwhile Onigumo meets a spider demon who offers to fulfill his dreams.

While Kikyo helps Kaede work on her sacred arrows, Naraku makes his initial bid for the Sacred Jewel. During the battle, Kaede is injured and loses her eye.

After the battle, Kikyo suggests to InuYasha that he use the Jewel to become human. Later that day, InuYasha agrees to become human. Kikyo plans to meet him the following day with the jewel.

Naraku overhears their plans, and impersonates InuYasha. He asks Kikyo to meet him earlier than planned. When she arrives the next morning at the tree, Naraku attacks her, still in the guise of InuYasha, and steals the jewel from Kikyo.

Returning the jewel to it's place, Naraku assumes Kikyo's appearance to meet InuYasha. His attack on InuYasha helps taint the jewel. InuYasha steals the jewel from the village, only to have Kikyo seal him to the tree of ages before he can use it.

As Kaede tells herfself the story she wonders why Kikyo chose the arrow of sealing over the sacred arrow and how Inuyasha had a peaceful look on his face.
