Episode 61 - The appearance of Kikyo and the demon creator
Kikyo goes through the barrier that Miroku and Sango cannot enter to investigate what is going on. There she destroys one of Naraku's puppets and finds Tsubaki, who she remembers is an old nemesis of hers that once tried to steal the Shikon Jewel when it was under her protection. Tsubaki is distracted by Kikyo's presense allowing Kagome to temporarily regain her senses. She is able to detect the Shikon shard that Tsubaki is using and Inuyasha rushes her there. Tsubaki relates the story of how she tried to take the Shikon Jewel many decades ago but Kikyo reversed her snake causing it to return to her and scar her face. From then on Tsubaki made a deal with a demon so that she would forever keep her youthful appearance. Kagome and Inuyasha arrive and Kikyo allows Tsubaki to go out and confront them, but promises to kill her should she harm Inuyasha. Outside Tsubaki summons a giant weasel-like demon from her eye. Tsubaki warns Inuyasha if he tries to use Tetsusaiga against her she will use her curse to kill Kagome.
