Episode Title:
Flowers Drenched in Sadness.
Episode Description:
Kanna goes to the meadow where Kagura died, finding her fan and tossing it into a glistening pond, as she bids her sister farewell. Naraku is still recovering from his battle with Kikyo and is barely able to move. Despite his efforts to defile the Shikon Jewel, a speck of pure light remains, much to his irritation. Elsewhere, Inuyasha and his group arrive in flower-filled village, where the villagers are disturbingly happy. They discover a demon called the Flower Prince, who uses his magic to drain all sorrow and pain from the hearts of others, allowing them peace before making them part of the soil. Inuyasha, still carrying grief over Kikyo's second death, is easily snared in an illusion, where Kikyo offers to go to the afterlife with him. After briefly becoming ensnared by the demon herself, Kagome manages to destroy him, removing all the flowers in the village. Meanwhile, Byakuya tells Kanna to lure Inuyasha and his companions in and unleash her mirror. When the group arrives at the pond, a mirror demon emerges from the mirror and steals all of Tetsusaiga's powers, forcing Inuyasha and his friends to flee.
