Thwarted once more by Naraku, Inuyasha, Kagome Higurashi, and their companions must press on with their search for the few remaining Shikon Jewel shards, to prevent them from coalescing into a corrupted jewel under Naraku's control. However, Naraku has his own schemes to obtain them and will eliminate any obstacle in his path—even his own subordinates. The relentless and unforgiving threat posed by Naraku compels Sango and Miroku to determine what matters most to them: each other or their combat duties. Meanwhile, Inuyasha must decide whether his heart belongs to Kikyou or Kagome, before fate makes the choice for him. Amidst the race to gather the shards, Inuyasha and his brother Sesshoumaru must also settle their rivalry and join forces for their final showdown with Naraku, a battle they must win to end his evil and cruelty once and for all.
