After Magatsuhi's defeat, Kagome's innate spiritual powers and abilities are released to their fullest extent. The Shikon Jewel once again has a spark of pure light within it. Naraku tries to eradicate the pure light by sending out illusions, one to make Sango destroy Rin in the name of saving Miroku from the horrible death his father suffered, and one to trick Miroku to using his Wind Tunnel for one last time. Inuyasha makes it in time to prevent Miroku from opening the Wind Tunnel. Kagome's sacred arrow hits Naraku destroying the illusions, freeing Rin with the Hiraikotsu. Though Rin is freed and nearly falls to her death, she is saved by Kohaku, her best friend, who manages to catch her before hitting the ground just in time. Kohaku still protects Rin from Naraku's miasma. Inuyasha, Kagome, and Miroku sees Naraku's true body as his miasma starts to fill the air. Inuyasha sends a Meido, and Byakuya uses a strange blade to rob some of the Meido's energy.
