Inuyasha 1.14

Kikyo's Stolen Ashes

Urasue, a demon, steals the ashes of Kikyo. Kaede and the other villagers try to stop her but she gets away. Kagome, Inuyasha, and Shippo agree to help Kaede try and recover the ashes of Kikyo. Kagome, while they are looking for Urasue, begins to suspect that Inuyasha was in love with Kikyo.

Urasue tries to resurrect Kikyo in the hopes that she will be able to help her find a shard of the Shikon Jewel. Urasue is only partially successful. The body she creates resembles Kikyo but it is missing a soul. When Urasue sees Kagome she believes her to be the key to restoring Kikyo.

Thoughts

This episode ends on a cliffhanger.

It isn't hard to see how Kagome could suspect that something was up with Inuyasha. At one point it looked like he was about to kiss Kagome as their faces got closer and closer together.

This was an interesting turn for the story to take. I'm curious to see what comes next. The preview for the next episode seems to indicate that Kikyo will return.
