It was Nighttime, and a group of villagers were searching the forest, holding torches in their hands.
"Kuri-san! Reiko-san!" The villagers said.
Two villagers found Kuri and Reiko's backpacks under a tree and waves to the rest.
"Hey Look!"
"Over here!"
The villagers gathered around the bags.

Kuri, Inuyasha and Izayoi were in in Otherworld. The reflection of Izayoi was seen in the pond, but there were no facial features on her face in the water. Kuri laid sideways on the ground, unable to move.
There's no face in the reflection! Inuyasha! Inu- My voice… I can't speak. Please notice it, Inuyasha! She doesn't have a face! She's… not your mother! Kuri thought.
"Inuyasha… I must return to the Otherworld." Izayoi said.
"Oh… Must you go?" Inuyasha said.
Izayoi held up a lotus flower in her hand and let it fall into the water. The petals fell apart and caused ripples in the water.
" Good boy… Let me hold you tight." Inuyasha said. Inuyasha looked dreamy, turned around and they hugged face to face. "I won't let go." Izayoi sank her hands into his back. "Become one with me."
Inuyasha winced in pain. "Mother…" Izayoi lost consciousness.
Inuyasha! Wh-Why can't I move?! Kuri thought
Chains appeared around Kuri's body, followed by the little imps. They were chaining down Kuri. A darkness started to swipe across the pond and slowly, the garden was engulfed in darkness. Skeletons of animals appear. The Otherworld was now a desolate swamp.
Reiko appeared in front of her. "Wake up, sister! This is all an illusion!
She snapped the chains with her magic and Kuri stood. "We have to save Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha was unconscious and his face and body were half sunken in the false mother's body. The false mother no longer had a face.
"My boy… My dear son…" Muonna said.
Jaken got out of the boat. "Hey you! Un-Mother!" He clubbed her face with his staff, chipping some flesh off her face. "What's the use of sucking the breath out of him?!"
"Master Jaken!" Muonna said.
"What you do to him later is no concern to us! But first, you must get the information out of him! The location of the tomb of Inuyasha and Lord Sesshomaru's father!" Jaken said.
Kuri pulled Reiko behind a boulder. "That Jaken fellow is Sesshomaru's henchman?"
"The Human Head Staff… You must watch out for that." Reiko said. "I saw him use it earlier."
Kuri nodded.
"Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" Muonna said.
Inuyasha sank deeper into Un-Mother. Cut to underwater scene. Inuyasha, unconscious, was thrust underwater, with the Un-Mother's long arms holding him.
"Please remember… Where is your father's tomb?" Muonna said.
I don't know… Inuyasha thought.
"Think harder! Open up your—"
There was a flash of silver light and the Muonna was on the ground in pieces.
"That wench! She exorcized it!" Jaken exclaimed.
"Inuyasha… Are you all right?" Reiko held up Inuyasha.
"Damn! Damn it to hell! How dare they… use my mother like that?!" Inuyasha cursed.
"It's all the work of Sesshomaru and Jaken." Reiko said angrily. "And now they're after my sister.
"What?!" Inuyasha said. "Sesshomaru! What do you want?!"
Kuri stood in between them. "He wants your father's treasure."
"Ah," Sesshomaru said. "A telepath. A rare ability even among demons. I believe this puts me at an advantage."
Suddenly he was behind Kuri, his breath on her neck. Kuri flinched visibly.
"You will do what I say," He whispered softly.
Kuri felt goosebumps go up her spine as she realized he was correct. Kuri had no control.
And with a swish of that silver hair, Sesshomaru was gone.

Inuyasha took a step forward to stop his half-brother, but Reiko stopped him. "He will hurt Kuri."
Finally Sesshomaru was gone and Inuyasha rushed to Kuri's side. "Did he hurt you?"
"No," she said softly. She caressed his cheek with her hand. "I-Inuyasha...r-run..."
Her eyes found his and he saw the vacancy there. "Kuri! That bastard! I'll-"
"Stop!" Kuri pulled him close to her. "Forget everything. Everything. Love me and only me. Let me be your one and only..."
She pressed her lips against his. For a moment Inuyasha believed her. And then he remembered that this was Kuri. She would never be the first to talk about her feelings. She had WAY too much pride for that.
So he pushed her away, knowing it was a trick. No one like her could love a half demon like him.
"Th-That's not true!" Kuri yelled at him, her eyes suddenly clear.
Inuyasha stared at her. Did she read his mind?!
"What do ya mean, it's not-" he began, but was cut off by Sesshomaru's hand on his neck.
"I thank you, little telepath," Sesshomaru said. He removed a pearl from Inuyasha's eye and left through a portal.
Inuyasha got up. "You girls st-"
"In your dreams," Reiko responded. "Sis already went through for revenge.
