Episode 71

Muso battles InuYasha, impaled twice, while in scorpion form. Miroku notices that when InuYasha unleash his Wind Scar, Muso regenerate by pulling all his parts to his human torso. As InuYasha is about to use his Wind Scar to aim precisely at what they suppose is Muso's heart (his spider mark), Kagura deflects his strike to save Muso, who is then taken away by Naraku's insects. As Muso pulls himself together, Naraku appears and demand his return, which Muso refuses. They then battle, Muso being quickly beaten by Naraku, who is interrupted when InuYasha rejoins them. InuYasha attacks Naraku, who distracted let go of Muso. Muso begins to escape, but on second thought returns to the battle, watched by a bewildered Kagura. As Miroku arrives too, Naraku is impaled by Muso, but uses the piercing arm to pulls Muso to him and reabsorb him. The completed Naraku then faces InuYasha and Miroku while Kagura ponders the fate of Muso, wondering if that would happen to her if she defied Naraku again. After some bantering from both sides, Kagura and Naraku disappear in a fog of miasma. Meanwhile, upon seeing Naraku, Kikyo wonders if she doesn't miss InuYasha.
