Ahh Menomaru where in sevens hells shall I start. (hehe) 

           Well let's see.... Menomaru was formed when a stray jewel shard combined with a tree formed an elf-like forest spirit. Menomaru is the grandson of Hyoga. (I think that's how you spell it) 

           I know you have no clue who Hyoga is so I will tell you. Hyoga is Sugimi,Yasha's father's, worst enemy. The one that tried to kill him. Yeah well turns out he didn't and the one who did kill Inuyasha's father is Ryuukoytsusei. Ryuukoytsusei is shown in Fukai Mori the second ending theme. He is the big thing Sessy is looking at.

          Well getting back to Menomaru. He is out to kill Inu so he can avege is grandfather. Menomaru is very strong because he takes power from the forest and from people in nearby villages. Kikyou isn't to fond of him either. As she says, "He is hogging all of the souls!" haha that never gets old! Well anyway....Menomaru has two slaves named Ruri and Hari. Haha we are gettin it now. Menomaru uses the power of Yin (Hari) and Yan (Ruri) to bring them back to life. They serve him  because that is all they know to do. Menomaru beomes a big demon with butterfly wings at the end and Inuyasha's Kaze no Kizu wont work without the assistance of Kagome's Miko Arrow. Menomaru is a mind controller and just like Shippo, he needs a leaf to perform his horrible deeds. Menomaru's weapon of choice is Ruri and Hari. They do all his dirty work. Pitiful isn't it. Well anyway MEnomau hates Inu and loves no one. 

 

Ruri    

           Ruri is my personal favorite character in the movie. She is the evil power of Yan. In the movie she uses her special ability to take Miroku's Kazaana. He sill has his but now she has a hell hole too. She and her sister take Kihrara and put er under their control so she is no longer a friend of Sango. Poor Sango she has had to fight against practically everyone in her family. She had to watch them all die too except for Kihrara, so fighting Kihrara will be no easy task.

          At the end of the movie Ruri comes face to face with the sad truth that making a Kazaana igger is not a good thing. When facing off to Miroku o see who is stronger she makes her hell hole bigger with her pear and guess what she turns into. Yes that is correct she turns into a big hole in the ground just like Miroku's father and grandfather. Pitiful, but neverthless that did happen and Houshi-Sama even rayed for her. Ruri takes over Kagome so she will kill Inuyasha. Wanna know thse faous words he said right before she killed him. Yea that's right "Die Inuasha!" well she didn't want to kill kill (no one ever does) but she couldn't stand up to Menomau's power. Anyway that is Ruri.

Ruri's stupid move

Hari is Ruri's sister. They are both Menomaru's mind slaves and are powerless against him. Well anyway Hari is a purple-haired girl with an unusual ability to make two swords form in her hands. She in turn uses these swords to fight against Inuyasha, to no avail. Actuall if you think Ruri's death was bad then you will think twice after you hear this. Hari was cut in half by Sango's Hiraketsu. She then was hurled of the cliff just to fall in two pieces to her death yelling Menomaru don't let me die!!! Hari is the weaker of the two. She is more of a talker than she is a fighter, where as Ruri is a fighter who let's Hari do all of the talking. 

          Hari is the person who put the mind controller on Kagome's head. She duplicated one of hers but it took a tainted jewel shard to get it to stay on her head. Kihraradid not have a tainted jewel shard on her head so she had less trouble getting it off. You may think that it was harder for Kihrara because she bashed her head against rocks to get it off, but Kagome had to kill Inuyasha the one man she loves. That has to be the ultimate punishment. I mean seriously Kagome didn't just watch Inu ie, she was the one that killed him. Well Hari ended up like I said plumenting in two pieces off of a cliff. That sucks! Oh well tough luck sista!

   This is after Sango gets Kihrara back
