Inuyasha - Deadly Liasons (Vol. 6)

Product Description:  Inuyasha is the story of a young schoolgirl who becomes the protector of a feudal village; the master of Inuyasha, a half-demon dog boy, and the caretaker of the magical Shikon Jewel against the demonic forces of the past! Ripped Off Again: Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippo encounter a young monk named Miroku who seeks the sacred Jewel for reasons of his own. The shards Kagome carries are stolen by Miroku, and Inuyasha must act to retrieve them. As the quest for the fragments of the sacred jewel continues in Rumiko Takahashi's "feudal fairy tale," Inu-Yasha, Kagome, and Shippo meet the monk Miroku. His right hand is a deadly weapon, the result of his grandfather's battle with the shape-shifting demon Naraku. Miroku flatters Kagome, rousing Inu-Yasha's jealousy. But the unscrupulous monk reveals the cause of the rift that led to Inu-Yasha's imprisonment and Kikyo's death. Naraku and the elegant Sesshomaru join forces to capture the Tetsusaiga, the enchanted sword carved from a fang of Inu-Yasha's father: all the characters have their powers severely tested, but Kagome demonstrates unexpected strengths. The filmmakers draw on traditional Japanese art for the bizarre assortment of demons the heroes have to overcome. Once again, the deft balance of character comedy and fantastic adventure provides superior entertainment.
