 * 4) Kōga finally remembers the promise he made to Ayame; Ayame states that she understands Kōga's mission to destroy Naraku, but adds that she won't give up on him.

Summary
When Naraku's mouth incarnation arrives, Kōga must save Kagome and Ayame from danger. When the protagonists later appear, the mouth incarnation reveals that Naraku abandoned it in the castle.
