4.~*Yura of the Hair*~

Kagome's family discusses whether Kagome's really telling the truth about the other dangerous world beyond the well. Her grandfather decides to put an end to that by sticking on some paper seals and pounding some nails on the well's entrance.
Inuyasha discovers that she disappeared through the well and decides to go after her. He ends up in her dining room, surprising her family, especially Kagome's grandfather who believed his seals would work against Inuyasha. Inuyasha tries to drag her back into the well. Her mother, extremely surprised and serious, asks him if his ears are real. ^_^ Kagome realizes that Yura's hair followed Inuyasha to her own world, putting her whole family in danger. She makes the decision to go back and defeat this demon. Inuyasha gives her his red robe made of the fur of the fire rat to protect her in the fight. Inuyasha gets help from Kagome to dodge the strings of hair (since she's the only one who can see it) and they finally meet Yura. The true power of Inuyasha red fur robe armor is revealed when Yura throws her demon flames at Kagome. Thanks to the robe, she survives the fire without a scratch. Inuyasha attempts numerous times to kill Yura but does not succeed. He ends up getting stabbed by Yura's sword. Without his robe, the sword was able to easily penetrate through. Inuyasha even uses one of his special attacks, the Hijin Ketsusou but he still does not manage to kill her. Kagome sees that Yura's only weak spot is the red skull that she always carries around. She gets closer to it and breaks it using the tip of the arrow that she had on hand. Yura's form disappears and peace is restored at last. It appears that Yura's original form was a comb that was used to comb the hair of dead people. Inuyasha calls her by her name at the end of this episode, meaning this experience actually got them a little bit closer than before ^_^
