Episode 193

Toward Tomorrow is 26th and final episode of InuYasha: The Final Act.

Plot
Kagome hears Inuyasha telling her not to make any wishes, giving her the strength to wait for him to come rescue her. Inside the jewel, the demons laugh that Inuyasha has made Kagome's situtaion worse by letting her hear his voice; she will (which they think will happen) wish to see him again. However, Inuyasha tells them to shut up and continues fighting to find a way out; to his surprise he find Naraku's head on a spiderweb, confusing him as he's supposed to be dead. The demons explain Naraku will awaken the moment Kagome becomes trapped in the jewel. However, Inuyasha finds a point of light and cuts it with Tessaiga, coming face to face with Kagome. They both embrace and share a long-awaited kiss. Kagome remembers her grandfather telling her that the one correct wish will cause the Shikon Jewel to be banished; she wishes that the Shikon Jewel would vanish forever. The jewel shatters and the demons inside it disappear, as do Naraku and Priestess Midoriko- with the former remarking as he does that he feels at peace.

Three years pass, Miroku and Sango's third child is about to be born, Shippō is training to become a full fledged fox demon, and Kohaku is dedicating himself to helping those affected by demons, with Kirara as his partner. As Miroku and Sango have reduced the amount of time they spend removing demons to dedicate themselves to their children (something together than what previously took up their time), Inuyasha assists Miroku- although he points out that Miroku is still shamelessly ripping off his clients; Miroku defends his swindling by saying he needs to provide for his family. Rin appears to be living with Kaede, as she helps her in delivering Sango's son.

Sango, Miroku and Kaede ponder about how events occurred; the Bone- Eater's Well reappeared after three days, but only Inuyasha emerged, telling them that Kagome was safe with her family; since then, the well has not worked, but Inuyasha keeps vigil there every three days according to Shippō. Kaede sadly thinks to herself that Kagome was drawn into their world by the Shikon Jewel; and that she may have had to leave when it was destroyed, as her purpose was to banish it forever. Inuyasha reasons that her family clearly loves her as he does, but his loneliness is obvious.

Kagome, who is now about to graduate from high school, recalls how Inuyasha had rescued her and how that the Bone Eater's Well no longer works. Inside the shrine, she realizes that her own feelings are what was blocking the well and wishes she can see Inuyasha again.

The well reactivates as Kagome's mother joins her. Kagome bids her farewell and enters the well. Inuyasha immediately catches her scent on the other side and races to the well to meet her. He then takes her by the hand and the two are reunited- with Shippō, Miroku, Sango and the kids arriving moments later.

Some time later, Kagome's family continues to live as they always have - Sōta tells his friends that his sister got married right after high school and moved away. Hōjō is dating the underclassman who was hitting on him earlier in the series. All of Kagome's friends are in college. In the feudal world, Sango and Miroku are now married and live with their kids - two twin girls and a baby boy - in Kaede's village. Kohaku is off to train to become a strong demon slayer. And Kirara is now with Kohaku to become his friend and assistant. Myōga now lives with Tōtōsai, who has provided Kohaku with a new weapon. Shippō is training to become a strong demon at the demon-fox exam. Rin lives with Kaede in the village where Sesshōmaru is shown paying her visits, along with Jaken, bringing Rin all kinds of gifts. Kagome calls out 'Brother-in-law' to Sesshōmaru as he passes, which he responds to with a very dirty look (Inuyasha looks similarly put out) but when Jaken starts yelling at her, Sesshōmaru tells him to shut up or he'll kill him. Sesshōmaru and Kaede had agreed that when the times comes, Rin may choose either to go with Sesshōmaru or to stay in the village. Kōga and Ayame are married, which Ginta and Hakaku find quite amusing. Kagome, meanwhile, is learning from Kaede about exorcisms and Jinenji about antidotes. Kagome is adapting to her new, permanent life in the feudal era where she is always by Inuyasha's side.
