Shiori's Family and Inuyasha's Feelings

Myoga offers Inuyasha a method so that he can gain the power to break barriers. This involves traveling to a village in order to defeat and absorb the blood of a bat demon known for creating impenetrable barriers. It is explained that a bat hanyō named Shiori was given to her grandfather Taigokumaru, the leader of the bat yōkai clan, to ensure peace between the opposing sides. Inuyasha is left conflicted; Shiori is a half-demon just like him and an innocent little girl, but he needs to gain the power to break barriers.
