Inuyasha's party hides in a cave with a barrier created by Miroku, but the mirror demon finds them and breaks through it. Tetsusaiga draws out the power of Inuyasha's full-demon state to help him fight. Kanna heals the mirror demon's injuries by transferring them to herself. Inuyasha switches his target to the replica Tetsusaiga and successfully breaks it, restoring the power to his own sword and his body to his normal half-demon state. Although having taken much damage from the mirror demon and believing she is now free, Naraku orders her to walk towards the group and detonate herself. However, she stands still, disobeying the orders. Naraku crushes Kanna's heart, causing Kanna to shatter into several pieces of glass. One of the shards pierces Kagome's eye, and she hears Kanna saying that the light will destroy Naraku. Once the dust settles, Kagome explains to the rest that Kanna never wanted to die, being the reason why she wanted Kagome to hear her last words.
