148

This is the second part of a memory flashback. A bandit named Onigumo is secretly harbored inside a cave, though devious intentions are sensed, as he desires the Shikon Jewel. Tsubaki initiates a cursed assault on Kikyo, who is able to reflect that assault. Onigumo later is consumed by a flock of demons, thus being transformed into Naraku. Kikyo is attacked by Naraku, and Inuyasha enters to rescue her. Inuyasha wants to be a human in order to be with Kikyo for the rest of his life. Naraku disguises himself as Inuyasha and then as Kikyo to turn them against each other, thereby tainting the Shikon Jewel. Naraku mortally wounds Kikyo. But before she dies, she is seals Inuyasha to the Sacred Tree of Ages. (Source: Wikipedia)
