A wierd demon woman named Urasue comes along to the village and steals Kikyo's ashes and grave dirt. Kaede tries to stop her, and gets hurt. Inuyasha and Kagome come over, and Kaede explains what is wrong, and ask if they can help, and they agree. Anyway, Inuyahsha+Kagome were talking and Kagome suddenly says that he hasn't looked her in the eye for a long time becuase she looks like Kikyo. Inuyasha says no, and tries to kiss her. She pushes him away.

Meanwhile, Urasue is sort of making Kikyo come back by cooking her in her demon kiln. She puts a weird leaf thing on and prepares to crack it. Inuyasha and Kagome and Shippo and Kaede are busy trying to fight off strange clay people on a bridge near her cave. Urasue cracks the kiln and Kikyo is in it. (She's naked; you can see her ___ later...) She talks about the shards and commands Kikyo to get it. Kikyo floats up, but just falls to the ground. Urasue gets all mad and the episode ends with her kidnapping Kagome because she needs the reincarnated soul.
