He is stopped by the village priestess who takes the jewel with her to the afterlife. Now in modern times Kagome (a splitting image of the village priestess) finds herself lost in a time portal and runs into Inu-Yasha himself. Her reaction is priceless: 'Is he a demon or a junior high school kid?'.
