The Demon Linked with the Netherworld

Inuyasha is summoned by Kochou and Asuka to see Kikyo, who is aware of Naraku's intentions for crossing over to the Netherworld. She presents Inuyasha with a special arrow for Kagome, which she will know when to use it when the time is right. Inuyasha and his companions sense that Naraku is approaching the nest of phoenix demons. Meanwhile, Queen Tekkei reveals herself to Naraku, later devouring him. Princess Abi sends forth her phoenix demons after Inuyasha and his companions. Naraku decapitates Queen Tekkei from the inside and then stabs Princess Abi from the outside in betrayal, opening the river of blood that will lead him to the Netherworld.
