Inuyasha 1.11

The Terror of the Ancient Noh Mask

Kagome returns to her home in the modern era because she fears that she has missed too much school. Inuyasha tries to prevent her from jumping through the well but she uses the sit spell to stop him.

Kagome discovers, once she returns to school, that her mother has made up all sorts of excuses for why Kagome has not been to school recently, all of which have to do health problems. 

An ancient Noh mask which possesses a shard of the Shikon Jewel starts to wreck havoc in the modern era. It is drawn to the shards of the Shikon Jewel that Kagome possesses. All seems lost until Inuyasha comes through the well and kills the spirit animating the Noh mask. 

Thoughts

Most of this episode is set in the modern era. Kagome gets embarrassed when she learns the stories her mother has made up to explain her absence. Kagome notes at one point that Inuyasha is quite dashing despite being thoroughly fed up with him earlier in this episode.

This is a monster of the week episode, which makes it fit in quite well with most of the other episodes in this series.
