However this thief ended up lusting for Kikyo and allowed his body to be consumed by the yōkai from his desire for her, thus created who is to be known as Naraku. Naraku soon unleashes a corrupted Rouyakan upon the three, inasmuch as InuYasha is in a weakened state. Rouyakan returns for a second encounter, causing panic for the three.
