Summary
As the Panther demons are about to sacrifice Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and the villagers to their leader, Inuyasha cuts through their barrier with the Red Tessaiga. Annoyed with this, the Panther King absorbs the life energy out of three of the four cat warriors to take as his own (Tōran being the one who is spared.) Inuyasha and Sesshōmaru team up to combat the leader, but their attacks have no effect on him. Sesshōmaru then uses Tenseiga on the leader, taking out the life energy which the leader absorbed from his comrades. Inuyasha then kills the leader with the Wind Scar. Sesshōmaru's attack also revives the three panther demons that were killed, much to their surprise. In light of everything that's just happened, Inuyasha asks if the panther demons really plan to continue their war against the dog demons, to which Tōran agrees that there is no point, and calls for her siblings to return home.
