In a remote village surrounded by mountains. The villagers wear rustic feudal era clothes.
Villagers: (running, terrified) It's Inuyasha!
Inuyasha leaps into the sky while trapped in a net. He slashes at the net maliciously and frees himself. Grappling hooks are shot at him, but he dodges easily. Cut to a temple, Inuyasha grins evilly and looks at a necklace with a pink orb that glows. He grabs it. Villagers barge it, throwing spears at him. One of the weapons knock into a lantern and the temple catches fire. Inuyasha escapes through the roof. The temple roof explodes.
Inuyasha:Finally a way to become a full demon at last.(looks intently at the orb on the necklace, and lands)

Priestess: (drawing an arrow) Inuyasha!

Inuyasha turns back while running, and the arrow hits him in the chest, pinning him to a tree behind him.
