The manga's finished and has been for a while.
As for the anime, all I know is that it's not that uncommon for long-running anime series based on long-running manga series to not adapt the entire series. A nice example is Hikaru no Go: Most of the series was adapted in the anime, but the last little bit wasn't. I'm not sure of the reasons, but it just happens.
The big deal with Inuyasha, I think, was that there were over 150 episodes, and there was no end in sight for the manga. Perhaps ratings weren't as good as the people in charge wanted, so they decided to end the anime and focus on other something. The point is, it happens a lot.
Also, according to Wikipedia, the anime covers the first thirty-six volumes of the manga, not just twenty-something.
Oops! That was my bad. Enough Gin for today. Oh, and I think there's 167 episodes.
