Episode 73
In this episode, Kagome, Miroku, and Sango played card together, except Inuyasha who was has a bad mood at that time. He was feel mad ‘cause he couldn’t destroy Naraku’s barrier with his tetsusaiga in the previous episode, and he realized that his tetsusaiga power couldn’t be able to destroy it even he try once again. But suddenly Myouga came and told Inuyasha that he knew the way to made tetsusaiga stronger. Inuyasha was interested, and he said that Myouga could drink Kagome’s blood if he tell him the way ^^. Then Myouga said that there were a youkai tribe called 100 bat beasts. Nah, this youkai tribe’s nest is protected by a very strong barrier and there’s no ppls that can break the barrier. The barrier was created by a youkai in that tribe, and Inuyasha must kill that youkai. After kill the youkai, tetsusaiga would absorb the youkai’s blood and become stonger and would be able to break Naraku’s barrier. After heard that, Inuyasha group went to the youkai’s nest.
Inuyasha group arrived at the nest area. There was a small village there, and Inuyasha looked a woman that tortured by village peoples. Inuyasha helped that woman and asked why did them do that. The villager said that because of the woman, the village was attacked by the bat beasts youkai, and she even had a child with one of the bat beast, after heard that, Inuyasha protected the woman, and villager run away. Then Inuyasha group came to the woman’s house. She told Inuyasha that she fell in love and had a child named Shiori with a bat beats youkai who was the children of the leader. The guy promised that his tribe won’t attack the village again ‘cause they have had Shiori. But then, he died, and the bat beasts started attack the village again. The leader of the bats tribe ( Shiori’s grandfather ) made a deal with Shiori’s mother, he said that he wouldn’t attack the village again if she give up Shiori to him, because Shiori has a power to make a barrier for protecting their nest. Because so many villagers asked them to do that, and actually Shiori is always rejected by villagers because she’s a hanyou, so Shiori’s mother decided to give up Shiori to them, but then the bats tribe broke their promise. So they kept attack the village until now. After heard that, Inuyasha asked Shiori’s mother to lead him to the bat’s nest, and when the others wanted to go to, Inuyasha said that he wanted to go by himself.
At the middle of journey to the nest, Inuyasha remembered about him when he was a child. He run in a forest, chased by three youkais, and he was very scared. And when he reached in the dead end, he hide below somewhere, so the youkais couldn’t see him. ( poor Inuyasha, looks like the Shiori’s story reminded him about his past ). After that, they reached the bats tribe’s nest. There was a cave and in that cave, Shiori sat with held such like a small red ball in her hand. Shiori’s grandfather show up to see Inuyasha and Shiori’s mother. Inuyasha told him to give Shiori back, but he refused, ‘cause Shiori could do a really good job for making a strong barrier. Shiori was surprised ‘cause she met her mother again after long time got separated. Inuyasha attacked him immediately with kaze no kizu, but kaze no kizu was reflected! Inuyasha must dodge his own kaze no kizu, and saved Shiori’s mother too. But she got a little hurt. Looked at that, Shiori cried and she begged to her grandfather that she would follow all his commands, but she asked to him to not hurt her mother again. After heard that, Inuyasha couldn’t do anything again since Shiori has no will to go back home, so they went back.
In Shiori’s mother’s house, Inuyasha told all his friend about that. They felt pity to Shiori, and Kagome thought that Inuyasha must be couldn’t kill Shiori even he need to make tetsusaiga stronger, ‘cause Shiori is a hanyou just like him, and she was just a little girl. Inuyasha went out from the house and kagome followed him. at the outside, Inuyasha stared at the sea with remembered about his past, when he was a child, there was no people in his mother’s castle that wanted to talk with him. he was very lonely……. Kagome came beside him and made him back from his memory. Then she told Inuyasha that now he has many friends like Sango, Miroku, Shippou, and everyone beside him, so he didn’t need to worry. Inuyasha just agree, and Kagome looked at him with smiling. But then Inuyasha saw something. In the distant, he saw the bat beasta tribe flied to the village. They wanted to destroy the village so Shiori wouldn’t have any home again!! What happen next?? Hehe……seeya!!!!!
