                             It is in fact the same chapter that is being released. A full translation provided from Patches on the Adinuyasha E-mail group matches the chapter panel by panel perfectly and also matches the description of what the teaser said about the new chapter.

Sango: "It was a bit of a troublesome youkai." 
 Kagome: "Oh?" 
  
Sango: "They told me a landslide destroyed a mound" 
 Sango: "and that a youkai that had been sealed there had escaped." 
  
Inuyasha: "This is..."

 Kohaku: "happened here...?" 
  
Sesshoumaru: "Ne no Kubi... huh..." (note: means, like "head of roots")

Jaken: "So the owner of that youki was Ne no Kubi, was it?" 
 Kohaku: "Jaken-sama." 
  
Kohaku: "What is this... Ne no Kubi?" 
  
Sesshoumaru: "A trivially weak youkai." 
 Sesshoumaru: "And yet..." 
  
Sesshoumaru: "Persistent."

Inuyasha: "Kikyou's..." 
  
Kaede: "This Ne no Kubi" 
 Kaede: "was a youkai Kikyou-onee-sama sealed away shortly before she met you, Inuyasha." 
  
Kaede: "Ne no Kubi was also just like you, Inuyasha," 
 Kaede: "in that it sought the Shikon no Tama guarded by Kikyou-onee-sama." 
 Miroku: "Ah..." 
 Inuyasha: "This's got nothing to do with me." 
  
Sango: "I wonder what they're talking about." 
  
Sango: "They've been with Kaede-sama ever since they got back..." 
 twin-white: "Shippou!" 
 twin-black: "Shippou!" 
 Shippou: "Cut it out!" 
  
---- 
 13. 
  
Shippou: "Isn't it obvious?" 
 Shippou: "Isn't it because they're talking about something they don't want you to hear?" 
  
Rin: "Rin was also told to wait at Sango-sama's house." 
 Kagome: "Rin, you too?" 
  
Kagome: "!"

 17. 
  
Inuyasha: "Wha..." 
  
Kagome: "Inuyasha!" 
 Kagome: "What are you hiding from me?!" 
  
Inuyasha: "I'm... I'm not hiding anything from you..." 
  
Inuyasha: "Dammit, Shippou!" 
  
Miroku: "Inuyasha, we can't be bothered by matters other than the fact that it's targeting Kagome-sama." 
  
Sango: "It said to hand over the Shikon no Tama..." 
 Shippou: "Even though it's been destroyed for quite a while." 
  
Miroku: "It had been sealed away by Kikyou-sama's sacred arrow for so long," 
 Miroku: "it probably doesn't know that the Shikon no Tama is already gone." 
  
---- 
 18. 
  
Miroku: "It's called Ne no Kubi. It's a youkai that spreads its roots underground and absorbs nutrients from humans." 
  
Kagome: "Then it's not just me..." 
 Kagome: "Everyone in this village is in danger!" 
  
Miroku: "That's right." 
 Miroku: "We have to vanquish it." 
 Kagome: "Let's go, Inuyasha." 
 Inuyasha: "R, Right."

villager: "Uwaaah!" 
  
Miroku: "Kohaku!" 
 Kohaku: "Ani-ue!" (note: ... Oh that's riiiight, Miroku is Kohaku's brother-in-law now.) 
  
Kohaku: "Ane-ue!" 
 Kohaku: "Are you all right?!" 
  
Rin: "Kohaku..." 
 Sango: "Kohaku!"

 21. 
  
Sango: "Yes..." 
 Sango: "For some reason, this place is..." 
  
Shippou: "Um...." 
 Jaken: "What do you want, Shippou?" 
  
Shippou: "Instead of just standing around, could you maybe help out?" 
 Jaken: "You fool!" 
  
Jaken: "Sesshoumaru-sama has no concern for what happens to a human village!" 
  
Rin: "Ah, Sesshoumaru-sama!" 
 Sango: 'So he was protecting us!'

Sango: "Kohaku, watch the kids." 
 Kohaku: "Uh." 
  
Sango: "Let's go, Kirara!" 
  
Sango: "It looks like you're having a hard time." 
 Miroku: "This thing is multiplying underground." 
  
Inuyasha: "Dammit, there's no end to it!" 
  
Kagome: 'Ne no Kubi...' 
 Kagome: 'spreads its roots underground...' 
 Kagome: 'But where are those roots coming from?!' 
  
Kagome: "Put me down, Inuyasha!" 
 Inuyasha: "Wha..." 
  
---- 
 23. 
  
Inuyasha: "Don't be stupid!" 
 Inuyasha: "It's after YOU, remember!" 
  
Kagome: "That's just it!" 
 Kagome: "There has to be a source... a main body the roots are coming from!" 
  
Kagome: "That's..." 
 Inuyasha: 'Kikyou's sacred arrow?!' 
  
Kaede: "That which I just saw fly must have been the sacred arrow Kikyou-onee-sama used to seal away Ne no Kubi!" 
 Shippou: "But YOU were the one who shot it, Kaede-obaba." 
  
---- 
 24. 
  
Kaede: 'Ne no Kubi will have to react somehow.' 
  
Kagome: 'It's escaping!' 
 Inuyasha: "Kagome!" 
  
---- 
 25. 
  
Inuyasha: "Kagome!" 
  
---- 
 26. 
  
Miroku: "That's..." 
 Sango: "Its main body!?"

Ne no Kubi: "Kikyou..."

Kagome: "Let me tell you something." 
 Kagome: "I'm Kagome!" 
  
Kagome: "And while I'm at it, one more thing..." 
 Inuyasha: "If you want the Shikon no Tama..." 
  
----

Inuyasha: "It doesn't exist anymore, you idiot!"

[arrow go explode!] 
  
---- 
 32. 
  
Shippou: "They did it!" 
 Shippou: "It's being purified!" 
  
Kaede: 'This means that...' 
 Kaede: 'Kagome is fine without borrowing Kikyou-onee-sama's power." 
  
Inuyasha: "Phew..." 
  
Inuyasha: "Hey, Kagome!" 
  
---- 
 33. 
  
Kagome: "Whaat, Inuyasha?" 
 Inuyasha: "You almost got eaten, you know!" 
  
Kagome: "But I knew for sure you'd save me, Inuyasha." 
  
Inuyasha: "Don't just decide that I'm gonna save you, idiot!" 
  
Kagome: "No, I trusted you." 
 Kagome: "That's why..." 
  
Kagome: "I know that..." 
 Kagome: "you weren't hiding anything about Kikyou." 
  
Kagome: "Inuyasha...?" 
  
Inuyasha: "So... you were upset..." 
  
Kagome: "I wasn't upset." 
 Kagome: "I just..." 
  
---- 
 34. 
  
Kagome: "Sit." 
  
Kagome: "I just want you to trust me a little more, too." 
  
Miroku: "This certainly brings back memories." 
 Sango: "Let's go home. The children are waiting for us."
