Chapter 379 | Ookami no hakaba

The wolves to got the Wolf Demon graveyard to get a weapon. The scene changes and Miroku mentions how similar Midoriko's goal is to Naraku's; they both want to complete the jewel. Kagome is upset about that idea because she knows what will happen to Kohaku, but Sango says that it's what her brother wishes to do. Inuyasha, of course, jumps in and says he won't let Kohaku die, he'll go against Kikyou's plan and attack Naraku without the help of the Shikon Jewel. Sango starts to cry, realizing that none of her friends will allow her brother to die. The scene changes again and Ginta and Hakkaku are worried about finding the weapon, but Kouga pushes them to help him find it. Then Kouga sees a mirror type thing, and when Kouga goes to get it, the mountain starts to move and and transforms into a cerebus. He's the youkai that's guarding the weapon Goraishi. As thick headed as Kouga is, he goes after the weapon anyway.

Chapter 380 | Ookami no hakaba

Kouga, Ginta and Hakkaku enter the Wolf Demon graveyard to get a weapon belonging to the wolves ancestors. Scene changes and we see the Inu-gumi waiting for the wolves to return, Miroku is saying that Midoriko and Naraku’s goals are similar, that they both want the Shikon Jewel completed, but Kagome disagrees. Sango tells them not to worry about Kohaku because it’s his decision to give his life in order to stop Naraku. Inuyasha comments on what Sango said because obviously she doesn’t want Kohaku to die either. He tells her that there is no way he's going to let Kohaku sacrifice his life to stop Naraku. Now Inuyasha realizes that his sword is useless against Naraku now, but decides to go against Kikyou's plan and attack Naraku before he can complete the Shikon Jewel. All of them make an agreement to attack Naraku before he or Midoriko complete the Jewel.The scene changes again and shows Kouga, Ginta and Hakkaku run through the graveyard of their ancestors. Ginta and Hakkaku begin to worry about the area, but Koga pushes ahead, desperate to find the weapon. Kouga finally sees the weapon, which is a mirror. When he looks in the mirror, it’s a bracelet with blades hanging from it. When Kouga goes for it, the cliff moves and transforms into cerebus named Goraishi. He says he’s the guardian of the weapon and he can’t let Kouga take it, but Kouga of course doesn’t listen and goes and attacks Goraishi.

Chapter 381 | Takara no mamori yaku

Kouga starts to fight with the cerebus that is guarding, he gives it one kick and the wolf begins to break away into stone. But the ground rises up again and transforms into the three-headed wolf (made of stone) and realizes that kouga possesses the Shikon Jewels. The wolf warns him that the fragments shouldn't be apart of "this" world and says the same about the Goraishi. Kouga being as stubborn as he is, says that he can control that type of power and kicks the wolf again, splitting it into two. They continue fighting until Kouga has a chance at getting the Goraishi. When the wolf-head reforms again, he shoots out fire that is heading towards Kouga's two companions...

Chapter 382 | Goraishi

Kouga stands beside the Goraishi, and has a horid look on his face when he sees the flame going toward his friends. As the flame approches them, Kouga runs to save them, and they land on a nearby ledge. The wolf asks why Kouga didn't take the Goraishi when it was right infront of him, but Kouga says that his friends are more imprtant to him than that weapon. The wolf points out that the Goraishi has vanished, but Kouga says he doesn't regret taking the weapon. The ground starts to raise up and the wolf tries to kill Kouga, telling him that he should regret not taking the weapon. Suddenly, the Goraishi appears in Kouga's right hand and everyone is looking on with curiousity. Kouga swings the weapon, which unleashes several powerful serges of lighting that hits the wolf and turns him into dust. A ghostly voice appears and says the Goraishi has became Kouga's claw. The weapon vanishes into his body and will be protected by his wolf ancestors. The scene changes and the Inu-gumi are talking about how Kouga is late, but Inuyasha smells him, stating he's back. Kouga goes on telling Inuyasha about the Goraishi, but of course, they have to have some battle with their weapons. Before anything could start though, Kagome sat Inuyasha. Kagome asks Kouga if he wants to come with them, but he refuses and takes off. Then Kagome notices that something is protecting the Shikon Fragments, but whatever it is, it's not that strong...

Chapter 383 | Mujina

The gang are looking at how a giant demon is terrorizing a vilage, but Inuyasha defeated it easily with his Wind Scar. They learn from a villager that youkai have been coming out of the forest more often as of late, and they've been getting larger and stronger. Inuyasha isn't too keen into helping people because he's suppose to be looking for Naraku, but Sango and Miroku go off on their own to look at what can be the cause of this. Meanwhile in the forest, Shippou met up with a young youkai girl and she's very interested in Inuyasha's Tessaiga. She then takes Shippou for hostage in her secret lair underneath a tree. Her name is Mujina and her sword, Datsuki, absorbs demonic energy, which is the reason so many demons have been fleeing the forest. Inuyasha discovers where her lair is and breaks in and she takes Shippou deeper into her cave...

Chapter 384 | Taiji

Inuyasha and Kagome are searching Mujina's lair, hoping to find Shippou, but little did they know he purposely left traps for him and he falls into a pit. Datsuki absorbs some energy from Tessaiga and they run off into the forest. Shippou said how that trap was his idea and he was tired of him always picking on him. Shippou then assumes by her smell that she had a father and just recently lost him. Mujina says this is true and the only reason she's trying to strengthen her sword is because she wants revenge. Shippou, understanding her situation, says he would help her absorb energy from Tessaiga. When Shippou set another trap for Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku realize that it's Shippou doing all of this. By now, Inuyasha gets fed up and tries to use his Wind Scar, but it was weak since the sword has been losing energy. Mujina and Shippou appear and everyone is shocked about Shippou betraying them, but he said he had a good reason for doing so. Mujina then says that it's now time for her to test out her sword's power on Inuyasha, and Shippou is frightened from what he's hearing...

Chapter 385 | Datsuki

Mujina tells Shippou that her sword, Daisuki, had absorbed Inuyasha's Wind Scar. Shippou asks her why would she do such a thing and she tells him that she wants to rule the world. Shippou gets confused because he thought that she wanted revenge for her father's death, but she properly informs him that her father had died 100 years ago from food poisoning. Shippou tries to attack Mujina, but Inuyasha appears and Mujina is shocked because she hit him with the Wind Scar. He then asks her to try the Wind Scar again, and she does a second time, but Inuyasha easily blocks the attack, blocking it from him and Shippou. As it seems, she can't properly weild the attack even though she has absorbed it. Inuyasha asks Shippou if he should kill Mujina, but Shippou says he should be killed as well if that happens since he was helping her. Mujina then takes Shippou and says that she'll kill him if Inuyasha doesn't hand over Tessaiga. Inuyasha punches Mujina and then that reveals Mujina's true form, a fat tanuki. Inuyasha noted that he knew it wasn't his true form all along because he recognized the scent from earlier today. Inuyasha asks Shippou again if he wants "Mujina" dead, but he doesn't mind anymore. Inuyasha goes after Mujina with his Tessaiga, but Mujina says that Tessaiga isn't strong enough. Inuyasha ignores this comment and slices Daisuki in half, and Tessaiga's demonic energy flows back into its sword. Shippou apologizes about everything that has happened, but Inuyasha just brushes it off and says that it's okay. Miroku picks up the broken blade and asks everyone else if they should investigate the sword to see where it was from...
