Episode 12

The Soul Piper and the Mischievous Little Soul is the twelfth episode of the InuYasha anime. It first aired in Japan on January 22, 2001.

Plot
InuYasha spots a benevolent yōkai called the Soul Piper, leading the souls of dead children with its tune; it's a good sign when its eyes are closed, but should they open, the child is taken to hell. Meanwhile, Kagome has found the vengeful spirit of Mayu, the older sister of Sota's comatose friend, and she is a likely candidate to be taken to hell unless she lets go of her anger.
