InuYasha: Volume 49

by Rumiko Takahashi, 186 pages

InuYasha defeats, albeit unwillingly, Naraku's supposedly emotionless proxy. But before she leaves this world, she imparts a secret to Kagome that could help them defeat the puppet master for good. Then, Sango and Miroku battle a bone-stealing demon and take on some serious damage in the process. Each more worried about the other than her-/himself, they independently vow to devote their lives to one another's protection. Now if somebody could just heal that sneaky illness-concealing monk, Sango could smack him upside the head and they'd be happy.

I love it when baddies overestimate their own awesomeness and underestimate the independence of their minions. But I love it even more when they realize their mistake and look all surprised and nervous, which I'm hoping will be soon, 'cause Naraku needs his final comeuppance, the creep.
