Mount Hakurei was a mountain encased by an abnormally pure holy barrier so powerful it was able to completely eliminate any yōki (thereby killing pure-blooded yōkai) and even repel evil humans and dead souls (e.g. Kikyo). The source of this barrier was the living mummy of a monk named Hakushin, recognized as a saint by the people he devoted his life to saving. He chose to become a living Buddha (buried alive by these same people) to protect them indefinitely.
Naraku tricked Hakushin into making the barrier by telling him it was all right to hate the people that had buried him alive. He used this and the Shichinintai to distract and protect himself from InuYasha and the others pursuing him while he transformed and built a new body, making the detachment Akago in the process to hold Naraku's human heart.
During the time that this barrier was in existence, Hakurei was a tranquil and largely undisturbed mountain, covered in dense lush vegetation. The mountain was a very beautiful place as well as a very holy place.
Kanna was able to pass through the holy barrier unaffected because she had no demonic aura despite being a demon, though Kagura complains of being stung by the holy aura. As humans, Kohaku and the band of seven were able to exist within the barrier despite being dead merely because of the jewel shards in them. InuYasha was able to exist within the barrier once it forced his transformation to his human form (even though it was not the new moon). Most of the interior of the mountain was excluded from the barrier. This allowed Naraku to live and re-build his body while surrounded by the protection of the barrier.
Kikyo eventually found Hakushin and reassured him that it was all right to doubt and cry over his own death and weakness, helping him release his soul to Nirvana and causing the barrier to disappear, thus allowing InuYasha to once again become a hanyo.
Unfortunately, when the barrier came down, Naraku's evil aura (no longer confined to the interior) transformed the mountain into a horrifying shape. The mountain became bare of vegetation, and became very dark and craggy and demonic in appearance.
When the barrier fell, it was too late for InuYasha to stop Naraku's transformation, and Naraku escaped with his new body and detachment while the physical embodiment of Onigumo's old affection for Kikyo was buried and seemingly destroyed in the resulting collapse of the mountain. Much later, following Naraku's reabsorption of Akago and then Naraku's discovery of Kikyo's plan to purify him together with the Shikon Jewel (which would destroy both Naraku and the Jewel), Naraku returned to Mount Hakurei and reabsorbed the remains of Onigumo into himself, thus becoming a hanyo (half-demon) again and ensuring that even if Kikyo succeeded in her plan, he would survive.

Odessa walked around. Everything that once was beautiful was turned to decay. She sighed. She like this spot even though she could never get near it intill now. She kicked a rock softly across the pathway.

Odessa yawned a little and looked up at the sky. Then then looked back on the ground again. She kicked the same rock harder so it would go farther. What to do. Its been a bit boring. I wonder what Sesshomaru is up too. I'll see him one day soon I hope. She thought.

Kaname looked around the decayed area. "An area... Once beautiful as the setting sun... Or the rising Moon... This area is of no use to anyone thanks to Naraku and the Band of Seven Members..." Kaname muttered under her breath as she kept her eyes on the area.

Odessa looked over her shoulder and glanced at Roxas for a second then turned back around again. "...Hey...." She wasn't must of a talker when thinking.

Obessa then sighed. "Do you need anything or are you just going to stand behind me...." She said, though it almost sounded like a growl. She didn't like most people of her own kind. The only ones she liked were Sesshomaru, and Inuyasha. Maybe a couple of others will traveling.

Hmm? Do you need something? If not go somewhere else... *yawn* "...." Kaname looked around once more and heard two demons chattering and ignored it. She walked towards the mountain's foot and sniffed around.I envy the clouds... They go where ever the wind takes em... I wish I could do the same...

Odessa heard some foot step but didn't move. She smelled another wolf demon, and she wasn't sure if she knew this demon, so she sat still.
