You got it Walter205 it is Kanna!

Wow, didn't expect to get it right.

Okay, here is my latest one;


Our herd was innocent, ignoring all others
But that didn't stop the intent of the evil one
Although our souls had ascended to the sky
Our bodies were taken and proved a spiky menace.

Who are we?

Urgh...I have a feeling its Kouga's clan that were slaughtered by Kagura and manipulated. You mentioned "herd" so I hope I am right. Kogua's clan did not die from kanna's mirror....so their soul probably ascended to the sky!

Nope, sorry.

Good guess though.

*pulls hair out* Noooo~
:0 oh well....

Is it Kikyo's shikigami? I feel like it could be them, because there are a lot of them so that could be a "herd", they handle souls, are controlled by Kikyo (who isn't necessarily evil, but she's not all good either), and they are kind of pointy shaped.

Nope, sorry.

Perhaps you are talking about the dead people of Hori Island? the ones the 4 war gods killed?

Is it the demon slayers village?

Nope and Nope. Good guesses so far though.

Is it the band of seven?

Nope, Good Guess though.

Is it the Undead Ogres from the Third Inuyasha movie, killed but brought back by Sounga to kill Inuyasha?

No, good guess though.

Is it the many demons that Naraku controls?

Hmm, maybe the puppet soldiers from Kawaramaru?

No to both but nice tries.

Can't remember the chapter, but the women in this town all had their souls sucked dry and their bodies were being used by stringing them up with knives, sickles, and such. InuYasha wanted to tear into them with Tetsusaiga but Kagome wouldn't let him. Am I close?

First Season Ep. 3 and Yura did this to all the women and Kagome was pushed down the well. Yura used all the women as puppets against InuYasha as they were all wielding a sickle, knife, or any such blade. It was Kaede that bade Inu not to hurt the women but I don't known whether the women are dead or not as Yura collects the hair of all she kills...InuYasha got a sneak peek at a naked Kagome in this episode too and buried Keade in the ground so he could protect her and go after Kagome.

I give you an "N" for Nope but an "A" for effort. Very well reasoned.

That's been 9 guesses so far!
One more guess and then Walter-san, you will have to reveal the answer~

Is it possibly Goryomaru?

@Walter: Banner!

Sorry, incorrect.

The correct answer is the Yama Arashi (Porcupine Demons).

Wow I have definitely gotta watch the whole anime again
