Summary
As Miroku, Sango and Kagome lie seemingly dead, Inuyasha rages and mourns over their bodies, in anger for himself and grief. He feels he should have killed his opponents faster, escaped them, or otherwise be there with Kagome as she was hurt. He chides Shippo telling him that it was not his fault that their comrades died. He and Shippo, under advice from Myoga, take Kagome's, Sango's and Miroku's bodies to an open area. Kohaku, upon learning of Sango's death, sheds some tears, without knowing why.

Shippo continues crying over Kagome and Sango and Miroku's bodies and Myoga asks if he was positive they had swallowed the antidote Kagome had and Shippo states he was sure of it but that it had no effect as a thoughtful Myogo thinks. He then asks if he knew where Inuyasha went; Shippo shakes his head. Myoga then says he hopes Inuyasha "wasn't doing anything rash."

Meanwhile, Inuyasha brutally cuts down several trees venting his anger and grief and curses to the thin air, threatening the Band of Seven to come out and fight him. He then sees Sesshomaru, who teases him and mocks his helplessness, saying that it is a shame that Tessaiga, given to him to protect his friends, was so useless in his hands. When Inuyasha attacks him, he disappears, and Inuyasha is doubtful that was ever there in the first place and is left wondering if he is now "seeing things" or if it was only his conscience's voice speaking to him.

Sesshomaru is then seen rejoining Rin and Jaken with his dragon, A-Un, and telling them that he has located Kohaku. Inuyasha rejoins the bodies of his friends and tells a still tearful Shippo, "Please don't cry anymore. Men never show their tears...no matter what." Shippo then tells him through a sniffle that he'll "try." Inuyasha then picks up and holds Kagome to his chest and silently begs her to forgive him and that if he hadn't "failed" her she would still be alive. She then moves slightly and whispers, "Inuyasha...I can't...I can't breathe." He pulls back shocked at hearing her voice and looks at her to see she is now alive. She then states she was dizzy and Inuyasha stutters stunned at her sudden survival of the poison, "But you were...But you were..." Myoga then reveals he had sucked out a lot of blood along with the poison before it was too late (and the poison had completely gone through their bodies). Miroku and Sango soon wake up after this. Kagome then apologizes to Inuyasha for making him worry and he demands she not do so and sets her down and moves away to cry in relief; much to the surprise and shock of Shippo and Myoga (the latter who had been with him for years and never once saw him come anywhere close to crying).

Meanwhile, Kikyo meets Suikotsu, a local healer who cares for orphans. He has a shard of the Sacred Jewel in his neck, the purity of which troubles Kikyo.

After their barely saved lives, Myoga instructs Sango, Miroku and Kagome to drink his "special potion," to help make their bodies recover faster. They drink it, and though it tastes bad, they "grin and bear it". After disgustingly finding out the contents are food and blood he has regurgitated, Koga shows up relieved to see Kagome is alive (after having a battle with a member of the Band of Seven who told him she was dead), unintentionally standing on Inuyasha's back. When Inuyasha does his usual warning for him to stay away from Kagome, Koga then spits out how Inuyasha was "despicable" and goes on to say how Kagome's "hands feel colder than they usually do and her beautiful cheeks that are usually so rosy are now pale like a fish's belly." He then states he can tell he (Inuyasha) had put Kagome's life in terrible danger and nearly got her killed and then yells that he would never let something like that happen to her. Both Shippo and Myoga are outraged and feel Inuyasha should give him a pounding. However, Inuyasha admits Koga was right (surprising everyone there including Koga himself) before solemnly vowing that he "won't ever let anything like that happen to Kagome again." Before adding, "So you can just get lost!" as a touched Kagome watches.
