2. "Seekers of the Sacred Jewel"
"Shikon no Tama o Nerau Monotachi"

InuYasha, released from the Goshinboku by Kagome, has only one desire; to get his claws on the Jewel of the Four Souls and use its powers to become a yokai. Kagome, free but homesick, runs off into the forest to find the Bone Eaters Well, hoping that if the well was her entrance to the Feudal era, perhaps it can take her back to her time.


3. "Down the Rabbit Hole and Back Again"
"Honekui no Ido kara Tadaima!"

With the Shikon Jewel shattered, each shard has the ability to increase a separate yokai's powers. InuYasha fumes at the thought of having to collect the scattered pieces of the jewel and Kagome, upset, falls into the Bone Eater's Well and finds herself at home.

12. "The Soul Piper and the Mischievous Little Soul"
"Tatari Mokke to Chiisaina Akuryou"

InuYasha spots a benevolent yokai 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.

Naraku soon unleashes a corrupted Ryokan upon them since InuYasha is too injured to fight back and Miroku cannot use his wind tunnel with Naraku's Saimyosho in the air.
