Demon parasites lead to Naraku's latest scheme in which InuYasha and friends end up in the stomach of a stone demon. Working together, InuYasha and Kagome defeat the stone demon, much to Naraku's disappointment. The series end here. :( (There's always the manga, I suppose) The closing credits have a montage of the characters' lives afterward.
	Inu Yasha The Movie 1: Affections Touching Across Time (2004)			Not Rated
The movies have a slightly different look than the series (except for movie 4). I don't like it as much. These movies can be watched at any point after volume 10 (the whole cast of characters are present by then, even Kohaku).

I like this one the best of the first three movies. There's an adorable baby InuYasha and the Great Dog Demon (InuYasha's and Sesshomaru's father) is really hot.
	Inu Yasha The Movie 4 - Fire on the Mystic Island (2006)
This film came out after the series ended. Perhaps the folks involved in the series were responsible for this one since the animation style is similar. Sesshomaru shows off a good trick with his Tokijin (Dragon Strike), proving once again that he is the coolest.
