Chapter
79: 人面果
Ninmenka
(The Fruits of Evil)
At school Kagome seems to be nailing her trigonometry exams. Suddenly she is running through a stadium as everyone cheers her on. But then she wakes up, and realizes it was all a dream. Kagome tells Inuyasha she has to go back home to prepare for one of her mock exams when Shippo notices two heads floating down the stream. Miroku notices that the heads have no cut marks, almost as if they grew without bodies. Kagome decides to stay and investigate. On a mountain cliff a man tries to escape from a strange looking hermit. The man is suddenly eaten by the hermit as Miroku and the others make their way through a heavy fog. The group notices a tree and hear voices coming from it. They are shocked to find heads growing like fruit from the limbs of the tree. The heads say that they had been devoured by an old man of the mountain. They tell them that the hermit is called Tokajin. Bones fall from atop the mountain and then another head sprouts from the tree. The heads tell them that they are used to keep Tokajin youthful. As Inuyasha dashes up the mountain, Shippo and Kagome realize the new moon will rise that night and Inuyasha will become human again. Inuyasha quickly arrives at the summit and kicks the door to the Tokajin's house down.
Chapter
80: 箱庭
Hakoniwa
(The Secret Garden)
Inuyasha draws Tessaiga and cuts Tokajin's stomach, but nothing seems to happen. Tokajin throws flowers at Inuyasha who quickly shrinks down to a tiny size and is swallowed whole by the grotesque hermit.

Before they realize what has happened they are all sucked into the tiny village and Kagome notices the Shikon shard is gone. Tokajin finds it and sticks it in his belly-button along with another Shikon shard he had found. Inside his stomach Inuyasha is struggling not to be digested when he begins to change into a human.

Chapter
81: 腹中の光
Fuku chu no hikari
(Stomach Trouble)
Inuyasha begins to panic as stomach acid burns his skin. He realizes he can use the Tessaiga's scabbard to call the sword outside and free him from Tokajin's belly. When he does this the sword is repelled but causes Tokajin to get sick and vomit Inuyasha up. Once freed Inuyasha tries to attack, but Tokajin crushes him under his massive girth. When Inuyasha wakes up he is bound in thorny vines that are draining his blood for the hermit's consumption. Meanwhile Miroku discovers that all the villagers in the miniature town are asleep because they have eaten the fruit there. A hungry Tokajin's hand reaches into the village for a snack and Miroku, Kagome, and Shippo decide it is their only way to escape.

83: 仙人の薬
Sennin no kusuri
(Peach Man's Nectar)
Inuyasha rests due to his injuries as Tokajin slowly searches for him. Everyone makes it to the cliff's edge, but with Inuyasha hurt, he will not be able to climb down. A plant with an old man's head tells the group that he was Tokajin's former mentor. He tells them that Tokajin is not a demon when the man himself bursts through the wall. The Shikon shard's power has made his body become like stone. He has started to become a demon and told them that by eating his former mentor he would gain all his knowledge. The only thing he did not learn was his spell for eternal youth, and that is why he keeps his old master's head alive. Inuyasha attacks and tries to take the Shikon shards again, but is repelled.

Chapter
85: 犬夜叉の心
Inuyasha no kokoro
(The Soul of a Demon)
Inuyasha and Tokajin fall off the cliff and everyone climbs down the mountain to find Inuyasha, but all the find is the corpse of Tokajin. Thinking Inuyasha might be crushed underneath the body, they try to turn him over, but he is too heavy. Miroku urges everyone to mourn their loss, but Kagome gets upset thinking Inuyasha was too hard-headed and pushed himself too hard resulting in his death. Inuyasha wakes up in a tree above the group having regained his demon powers and hears everyone saying how stupid he was. He realizes Kagome is actually glad to see him and they all watch as the enchanted peaches transform into real fruit. Kagome returns home and wonders if Inuyasha will still use the Shikon Jewel to turn into a full demon. Inuyasha, Miroku, and Shippo are resting up in a forest and discussing the Shikon Jewel themselves. Miroku asks Inuyasha if he plans on becoming a full demon and he says that he is. He tells Inuyasha that he may become evil and kill Kagome in the process. Meanwhile in a faraway village a giant centipede attacks and a masked girl carrying a large boomerang she calls "Hiraikotsu" and dispatches the creature with ease. The demon slayer notices that the centipede had a Shikon shard inside it and goes into a shack to shed her gear. When she emerges the pretty girl tells the villagers that she is taking the Shikon shard because it originally came from her village.
