Inuyasha v53 ch524 "Awakening" (Mezame)
犬夜叉 第524話 「目覚め」
While he is asleep, the corrupted power of the shard forces Kohaku to relive the events of the day where he killed his father and companions. Magatsuhi figures that even if he does wake up, his heart will be shattered.
Kagome sees a faint speck of light within Naraku's tentacles. It's the light Kikyou left in Naraku's Shikon no Tama. Kagome thinks that because of the effects of that light, Naraku shouldn't be able to touch Kohaku's shard. However, the tentatcles try to take the shard without getting purified. Inuyasha and Sango come running in and cut them. Magatsuhi: "Kikyou's spell only works on Naraku… meaning that it does not work on me. When my corrupted shard and Naraku's jewel become one… The light Kikyou left… will be blotted out by the darkness of Magatsuhi. We win." (And soon Kohaku's heart… will shatter…)
Inside Kohaku's heart: While Kohaku continues condemning himself for killing his father and companions, a light breaks in. At the head of that light is the figure of Sango nursing Miroku while bearing her own wounds. Kohaku: (I… injured Ane-ue again… Houshi-sama tried to save me as well… Ane-ue… Ane-ue must be in love with Houshi-sama…)
Sango: "Kohaku, help us." Kohaku is surprised by the sudden call. Sango: "Help us. This man… and me…" Kohaku: (Help you… me…?! I… can do that?) Sango: "You can do it, there's still time, Kohaku…"
Kohaku awakens. His shard is erupting with light.
