I finally have it... the last Sacred Jewel fragment.
Housenki's fragment has been snatched by Naraku!
How dare you appear here! I've been waiting for this moment!
Under Kagura's lure, Sesshomaru has appeared on this battle ground, too!
Have you come to save your beloved brother? How touching...
You, half-demon, should know your place.
Next on Inuyasha, "Decisive Battle Before the Grave! Sesshomaru vs. Inuyasha".
Only Sesshomaru can defeat Naraku...!

Oddities
— Sesshomaru to Inuyasha
Sesshomaru's words can be taken at two levels, I feel. On the surface, it seems that Sesshomaru punched Inuyasha the half-demon for being in Father's grave. But at another level, Sesshomaru could have punched Inuyasha for letting Naraku the half-demon enter Father's grave, that he failed to protect the honour of their fathers. Note that Sesshomaru actually put down his sword to slug Inuyasha in his face, insteading of just hacking him away with his sword. A slight change of attitude towards his little brother perhaps...?
Did you notice…?

[ Preview for next episode ]
Everytime you cut me, miasma will gush out. The miasma is poisonous enough to kill everyone here.
Why do you think I care about their lives?
I knew it...!
The miasma is approaching us!
Cut through me!
Housenki!
If you want to cut through Naraku's barrier, you have to cut through me!

No matter what, I'll end things today!
