Chapter 294

The Blazing Hoof is the 294th chapter of InuYasha manga.

Synopsis

 * The two monks in training tell Inuyasha and friends that the infant wanted to look into their master's soul in order to find "the borderland between this world and the afterlife", (those were Akago's last words before being split in half.) Miroku believed that the only reason Kagura and Akago were killing monks and priests was to free sealed demons, thus creating chaos. He realizes that they must have other motives. Kagome wonders what's in the borderland and why Naraku is looking for it.
 * After the head monk died, another seal was broken, this time one that had been placed on the fiery horse demon, Entei, who was sealed by the head monk many decades ago. Inuyasha uses his windscar, but Entei is really fast and is able to escape before the the group even realizes it.
 * Kagura is in a mountain cave looking after her half of the infant. She finds this task amusing, because it isn't even breathing. Suddenly the half of the infant's heart starts to beat again and it comes back to life; hair grows rapidly out of Akago's swaddle, and a hand stretches out from it.
 * Inuyasha's group chases after Entei. They come upon a village completely destroyed, covered in hoof prints; Entei's doing. They think they can catch up and slay the demon before it causes anymore harm. Meanwhile, Kagura flies on her plume, complaining about how the newly revived infant ordered her to "Bring me new clothes." She is surprised when she sees Entei following her back to the cave.
 * Inuyasha and friends follow Kagura's scent which is mixed up with Entei's. When Inuyasha sees the demon horse, he uses his windscar, only to find out the horse is protected by a barrier. As smoke and haze fades away, they see a small form riding Entei. The rider says "This horse monster seems to have chosen me as his master... in gratitude for releasing him from the seal." The next panel reveals the rider of Entei to be a young child, Hakudōshi. Inuyasha wonders what a kid is doing riding the demon.
