InuyashaWhat is it, Kagome? What's wrong?
Moryomaru hasn't absorbed the Shikon Jewel yet!
Inuyasha
What?! Are you sure?
Yes- I don't know what he's waiting for, but I can still see it!
(inside Moryomaru, to himself) What is this?! My armor should be impenetrable after consuming Naraku and the Shikon Jewel! The Jewel's powers don't seem to be having any effect!
(unseen) You still haven't figured it out, have you? (the Infant gasps, Naraku's face appears in front of him) Moryomaru is still vulnerable because he's unable to use the power of the Shikon Jewel.
Naraku- so, you were alive all this time? (he projects spikes from Moryomaru, impaling Naraku's face)
Foolish creature- never realized that you were being consumed from within.
Everyone, stand back! WIND TUNNEL!
(angered) Damn you, Monk!
Naraku! I will sever the ties that bind us!
Inuyasha
Miroku!
(thinking) I may never get another chance to destroy him!
Please, you have to stop! Stop before it's too late!
(smiles) The miasma's toxins will kill you before you can suck me in!
(thinking) That would frighten me if I were only doing this for myself, but I'm not! I'm doing this for Sango, and Kohaku too!
If I can just hold it a bit longer! (his hand darkens and he begins to bleed from the eyes and mouth) Arggh!
Inuyasha
Miroku!
(enraged) Curse you, Monk! You won't have my heart!
Let go! You've already lost!
He sucked in the Fuyoheki!
(clinging to his leg) No! I don't want you to die!
Inuyasha
Miroku! (he grabs Miroku's arm and seals the Wind Tunnel as Miroku falls) That's enough.
I see you're as naive as ever, Inuyasha. If you hadn't stopped him, he would have sucked in my heart. (envelops himself in a whirlwind of miasma) He had the perfect opportunity to destroy me, and you stopped him. For that, I thank you. (vanishes)
(runs up to them) Miroku! Oh, no!
(weakly) Sango... forgive me...
(thinking) Miroku did it for Sango- that's why he wouldn't close the Wind Tunnel! He knew if he could destroy Naraku, Kikyo wouldn't have to use Kohaku's shard.
(examining Miroku's arm) The wounds from the miasma extend down his right arm... (she pulls his robe back to reveal scars on his chest) like the legs of a spider. If the Wind Tunnel had remained open even a minute more, he would not have survived it.
I'll attempt to purify him. But you must understand: a body that's taken in that much miasma is unlikely to ever be fully restored.
Inuyasha
Help him, Kikyo.
(sneering) Kikyo... as long as my spiderweb connects us, there can be no secrets. I am well aware of the hatred and contempt you feel towards me... not to mention your lingering affection for Inuyasha. (Kikyo stiffens) Oh, isn't it a pity, Kikyo- dying in the arms of your most hated enemy, knowing you will never again see your beloved Inuyasha?
Inuyasha
NARAKU! LET HER GO! (slams Tetsusaiga into Naraku's arm)
Kikyo! (thinking) I only have one arrow- I can't afford to miss!
(flashback) There is only one way: you must shoot my wound using this bow. Only that can purify Naraku's contamination.
(thinking) It's OK- I'll show them! I'll hit it!
Hmm? What? (she lowers her bow) You don't want me to shoot yet?
What's this? So, you've found the Jewel, have you?
[he shatters the cliff under Kagome's feet, and she falls]
Inuyasha
Kagome!
[As Kagome falls, she is caught by Kikyo's Soul Collectors, who carry her down towards Kikyo]
Thank you, Soul Collectors!
Damn you! (he lunges his tendrils towards Kikyo)
(thinking) He's trying to take back the Shikon Jewel! (aloud) I won't let that happen!
(thinking) Now, I see: you wish to purify me and the Jewel!
The cloud of miasma's defiling the Jewel!
Watch me consume it- (the arrow and the Jewel strike him in the chest) What?!
Inuyasha
Kikyo's spiritual energy is destroying Naraku! They're coming loose!
Inuyasha
Who cares about that right now?!
Kikyo's spiritual energy is fighting it out with Naraku's demonic energy! Can you see it, Kikyo? Naraku's in pain right now!
Kagome... the rest is up to you.
What?! (she notices the Shikon Jewel turning black) His demonic energy's overcoming it!
(chuckles as the arrow disintegrates)... I've won. (he howls with cruel laughter)
Kagome... protect the last shard. Protect...Kohaku's light. This is something only you can do, now.
You can't mean that! You'll be okay, and I couldn't possibly- (notices Kikyo is dying) Kikyo! But, I shot you with the bow, just like you wanted me to! It should have purified the wound!
(floating down towards them) Kikyo... it appears you've lost.
(thinking) We shall see, Naraku. You'll only know whether I truly lost, or not, when you die.
Inuyasha
(slicing through the tendril) Not so fast, Naraku!
(smirks) Only one shard, left... and no one to stop me. We'll see how courageous you are, without Kikyo protecting you.
(as she is dying in Inuyasha's arms) It's been so long... do you remember those days, Inuyasha? When we were happy... long before Naraku tore us apart?
Inuyasha, would you be willing to use the Shikon Jewel to become a human?
Inuyasha
Well, if I were to become a human, what would you do, Kikyo?
I am the guardian of the Shikon Jewel- but, if it did not exist, I'd be an ordinary woman.
Inuyasha
How could I forget? Back then, I wanted to become human... so we could spend our lives together.
(smiles, closes her eyes)... At last, I have become an ordinary woman.
Inuyasha
... Kikyo, you were the first woman that I ever loved. The first person that I ever cared for. But, I... I still couldn't save you.
... You've never done that. Inuyasha, I think that's the first time I've ever seen you cry.
Inuyasha
(voice shaking, tearfully) Kikyo, I'm sorry. You needed me, and I couldn't save you!
It doesn't matter. You came for me. That was enough. (smiles)
Kagome, are you gonna be okay?
(slaps his leg) Wish I could say that- my legs feel like they're made of lead now! I guess I just didn't expect to survive like this.
(shakes her head) Mm-mm. It's a blessing you're still alive! Shards or no shards, you've helped us so much.
Anyway... (he stands up and walks towards Inuyasha)
(apprehensively) Koga...?
Oh, hey. (Ginta and Hakaku look shocked)
Inuyasha
... You leaving?
There's no sense me sticking around any longer- I'll only end up holding you guys back.
Inuyasha
I see. So, you're leaving us, too.
(scoffs) Ah, quit feelin' sorry for yourself! (he kneels in front of Inuyasha) Wait, you know, I don't mean to sound harsh, Inuyasha... (he suddenly headbutts Inuyasha) But do you think you're the only one suffering?! Huh?!
Inuyasha
Hmmm- I know.
I mean, look at me! Try to imagine how it feels for me to leave Kagome behind- you think that doesn't hurt?
Inuyasha
You're right.
(whacks him over the head) Would you stop agreeing with me?! It's creepin' me out!
Inuyasha
(irritated) Wolf boy, I'm only sitting here listening to you because you're injured, all right? Now back off!
(indicating Inuyasha) See that? He's actin' like a dumb dog! Looks like he's got a long recovery ahead of him. Look, Kagome... what he needs now is to have you by his side.
I know. Thanks, Koga. I'm sorry to make you worry so much.
I know. (he gives her a hug)
Take care of yourself, ok?
Inuyasha
(thinking) Damn you, Koga...
Inuyasha
KOGA! Listen Wolf Boy, if you think you lost your Jewel Shards for nothing, you're wrong. Your effort won't go to waste.
(chuckles) Yeah, well... I'm holding ya to that. Kagome, feel free to come look me up if you get sick of the pup.
We'll run nice and slow, so you can keep up!
And just like that... they're gone.
1V1st Villager
This house was built specially for travelers like you to use. Please make yourselves at home- we'll see you in the morning.
2V2nd Villager
Yes. Enjoy your stay! (they leave)
Inuyasha
You're all so careless!
(looking concerned) Look, you need rest more than any of us.
Inuyasha
Huh! What do you know? Sitting around just makes it worse.
Sheesh! He never stops complaining! Kagome, please tell him to sit.
What's the point? (thinking) He can't help it. It's obvious Inuyasha still hasn't gotten over Kikyo's death.
Inuyasha
Kagome, are you all right?
Inuyasha
I'm all right- thanks to you.
(to herself) He wept tears of blood- whatever happened, it must have been pretty hard for him.
Inuyasha
...Kagome, before you came... I had a dream about Kikyo.
Inuyasha
When I saw her... she asked me to go with her.
Inuyasha
I never answered. You woke me up.
(to herself) That doesn't answer my question.
Inuyasha
I couldn't save Kikyo's life... and, that caused me a lot of pain. For some reason, I- I didn't want help. I thought it was something I had to go through alone. I guess... I was so focused on my own suffering, I couldn't see yours. I never... realized, you were in pain, just like me. (bows his head) Forgive me, Kagome.
Ok. (Inuyasha looks surprised) I'm just glad you came back. The thing is, Kikyo's death was hard for all of us. But, I know that it must have been especially hard on you. I understand- it'll all be ok.
Inuyasha
Kagome, you- I don't get it. How are you so strong?
I am not strong, you idiot! (scared, Inuyasha jumps back and falls down) You should be asking why I'm so kind. I'm kind.
Inuyasha
(hastily) Right- you're kind, very kind.
(turns away, smiling, to herself) He might be clueless, but I'm still glad he came back.
I've created a barrier. It should keep us safe, for the time being.
What's wrong with your sword, Inuyasha?! How come they were able to attack us, but you weren't able to attack them? It's almost like they've gotten the real Tetsusaiga!
Unfortunately, it seems as if all of Tetsusaiga's demonic energy has somehow been captured by Kanna's mirror.
This isn't the first time this has happened! That sword, Dakki, was able to steal Tetsusaiga's demonic energy as well! (flashback of Inuyasha's battle against Toshu and Dakki) But in the end, he was killed by the demonic energy from the blade.
Inuyasha
That's because he was human. It's different, this time.
Different to say the least. This demon has an endless appetite for energy. It won't be nearly as simple this time.
(to Inuyasha) It seems unfair, seeing as how far you've come with Tetsusaiga.
Exactly. Who would've thought that Wind Scar and Adamant Barrage would fall into the hands of the enemy?
(nervous) So... Is Tetsusaiga just an empty shell, now?
It doesn't make sense- look where those spears went! It's like they were trying to avoid us!
Inuyasha
(in a feral voice) That was Tetsusaiga. Its' protective barrier must have kicked in... and that means Tetsusaiga is much more than just an empty shell!
Inuyasha! Look at your face!
Inuyasha
Huh?! (he looks at his enlarged claws)
There's no mistaking that look! His demon blood took over because he was in danger!
This is not going well! Once Inuyasha transforms into a full demon, he won't hesitate to tear us apart; in fact, he'll enjoy it!
It's going to attack again!
Inuyasha
(growling) Fine by me- bring it on!
Inuyasha, is that you? Do you still recognize us?!
Inuyasha
(growling) I don't know what I look like to you right now, but my mind is perfectly clear! (thinking) I can feel it: Tetsusaiga is seeking my demonic energy! It's trying to help me win this battle!
Inuyasha
Kanna... I know you were probably ordered by Naraku to fight to the death, right? Well, I'm not interested. Killing you would only give me nightmares.
Indeed. Any further fighting would be pointless. Besides, now that she's half-destroyed, Naraku won't bother looking for her.
It's true. She may be able to survive.
(approaches Kanna) Go on, Kanna. It's all over now.
(telepathically) It isn't over, Kanna. Far from it. I've never seen such foolishness- allowing Kanna to escape after all the suffering she's caused you! Your forgiveness and compassion truly sickens me. This is your final task, Kanna: You will take the lives of Inuyasha and his friends with your own!
What is it, Kanna? Don't you understand? You're free, now.
Now, walk over towards Inuyasha and his friends. I shall be watching over you, until the very end.
What's going on, Kanna? Do you know why this is happening?!
Move! You must get closer to them, Kanna!
(steps towards her) What is it you're trying to tell me?
Inuyasha
(grabs her and pulls her back) Look out!
(thinking) Kanna! (a tiny shard of glass hits her eye) Agh- my eye!
Inuyasha
Kagome, are you okay?
(clutching her eye) Ugh- it's my eye!
The light... will destroy Naraku.
It's Kanna's voice! I can see something... Is that the Shikon Jewel? There's a light at the center! Kanna... are you the one showing this to me? This light... is this what will destroy Naraku?
Inuyasha
... You didn't have to die.
D'you think maybe Kanna was trying to take us with her? Is that why she did that?
No. (they all look at her)
The truth is... she never actually wanted to die. That's why... she wanted me to hear her final words.
(flashback) The light will destroy Naraku.
(thinking) Kanna... wherever you are, I heard your heart's last wish.
You expect me to remove the poison from your weapon?
Yes. We've heard that you would be able to do so, Master.
Let me have a look. (licks the pieces of Hiraikotsu with his tongue)
Inuyasha
So you can fix it?
Demon-slaying salve?! That's some harsh stuff you put on it! Even if I could fix it, I'd refuse to do it on principle! At a glance, I can tell you that this weapon is well-worn; this suggests you've been fighting with it for a long time, yet you'd apply this vicious poison to it without a thought?! That doesn't sit well with me.
Inuyasha
(grabs him by his beard) Look, you don't even know the whole story behind it!
Inuyasha
...That was gross.
I forgot to mention, I'm a little bit hungover.
That's enough, Inuyasha. The Master of Potions is right, after all. There's no excuse for what I did.
Inuyasha
What, so you're just gonna give up now?!
Inuyasha
Huh?! A second ago, you said you wouldn't do it!
That's because I thought it belonged to you! But your friend here... I like her!
(smiles) Apparently, the Master of Potions has a soft spot for girls.
Well, obviously he's a good person at heart-
If, by "good person" you mean pervert, then yes.
Young lady, let's have a look at your hand.
(sharply) What are you doing?
(pokes the Master between the eyes with his staff) Perhaps he's a little too good of a person.
I was merely examining the strength in her legs and waist. You see, though I agreed to fix your weapon, in reality you are the one who must fight and risk death.
Correct. (he brings up two giant jugs of potion) Now, be kind and hand over Hiraikotsu, dear.
Inuyasha
Hey, the whole thing's dissolving!
Inuyasha
Poison?! But I thought you were gonna fix it!
Hiraikotsu will be fixed when this poison turns into a remedy.
Well, mainly I need you to slay the demons inside this jug here. The poison in Hiraikotsu's jug will turn into a remedy if you can pacify the demons within it! To put it another way: if you aren't able to pacify the demons, Hiraikotsu will dissolve into nothing. You follow me?
Inuyasha
Don't you get it? If you drink this medicine, you won't hesitate to use the Wind Tunnel. In other words, you're just gonna end up killing yourself sooner!
Inuyasha, are you telling me not to fight? I should allow myself to be protected instead?! If I can't use the Wind Tunnel, Sango will only push herself harder to compensate for me!
Inuyasha
You just can't stand being protected by a woman, huh?
That's right! If it means her life is in danger, I can't! Sango would risk her life to protect me, but I won't let her do it.
Inuyasha
Huh! Your stupid pride's gonna kill you-
Listen to me! You seem convinced that I'm rushing to my death, but my decision has nothing to do with that. Don't you see it? Drinking this medicine will determine how I live.
Inuyasha
Huh?
I want to fight so I can survive... so I can protect her.
Inuyasha
(thinking) Miroku...
What's wrong? Aren't you gonna argue with him?
Inuyasha
Shaddup! I can never beat this guy in an argument.
Inuyasha, this goes without saying, but please do not tell Sango or Kagome about this.
Inuyasha
I won't tell them. But you have to promise me something: that you won't use your Wind Tunnel, unless it's a matter of life and death. Sango might forgive you for killing yourself... but I won't.
