This episode started out with Inuyasha breaking in a
temple trying to steal the Shikon Jewel. He got the jewel and jumped
out, breaking the roof. He was in the air and someone called
out his name "Inuyasha". He turned around and saw Kikyou
drawing her bow and about to shoot. The arrow hit him in the heart
and pinned him to a tree. He then lost consciousness because of the
spell. An up close view of Kikyou, she was seriously injured at
shoulder. Blood was dripping around her. Her little sister,
Kaede, and some villagers came running toward her. Kikyou told Kaede
to burn her body along with the jewel.
Now, in modern Japan, it was Kagome's 15th birthday.
She was pretty sick of all the history her grandpa told her. While
she was talking to her little brother, Sota, inside the temple of the old
well, she was pulled into the well by a female centipede demon. The
demon wanted the Shikon Jewel from Kagome. Kagome held out her arm
and some kind of power came out and destroyed one the centipede's arm.
She then landed to the bottom of the well. After she out of the
well, she found herself to be in the middle of a forest. She then
saw a familiar tree and ran toward it. She saw a boy with dog ears
pinned to the tree. After she touched the ears, the villagers came
and thought that she was a demon so they captured her and brought her back
to the village. The village priestess was doing some kind of
anti-demon spell on her so she would reveal her true form. She told
them that she is not a demon. Priestess Kaede saw how much Kagome
resembled her dead sister, Kikyou.
Later that night, the centipede demon attacked the
village looking for the jewel again. Kagome ran toward the
forest to get demon away from the village. Back in the forest,
Inuyasha woke up saying that he smelled the blood of the woman who killed
him. He then saw Kagome and thought that she's Kikyou. Kagome
told him that she is not Kikyou, but he insisted that she is Kikyou
because they have the same smell. But after Kagome came closer,
Inuyasha can now tell that she's not Kikyou and said that Kikyou looks
better. The demon attacked Kagome and got her in the stomach.
The Shikon Jewel fell out of the inside of her body. The centipede
swallowed the jewel and changed. Then it attacked again, in order to
stay alive, Kagome pulled the arrow out of Inuyasha, freeing him.
Kaede was surprised that Kagome can break her sister's spell.
Inuyasha then killed the demon and demanded the jewel from Kagome or he is
going to kill her.
