Inuyasha quotes from InuYasha

But, Kikyo, I can't believe that Inuyasha would have committed such a heinous crime!

Inuyasha

Are you suggesting that I was the one who betrayed you!!?

You know it's true. That is why I summoned the last vestiges of my strength and bound you to a tree with my sacred arrow. Inuyasha.

Inuyasha

Kikyo.

You and I were fated never to meet again.

(Hurts him with an incredibly strong burst of spiritual energy)

Inuyasha

Kikyo, you can't go on like this any longer. You must return to Kagome's body.

You are saying you wish for me to die, is that it? For if my spirit were to return to the girl, then I will cease to exist forever. You must know that. Is that what you desire, Inuyasha? I refuse to die.

(Attacks him with a strong burst of spiritual power)

My spirit cannot rest in peace until I see you dead!!

The Jewel of Four Souls has returned and is now scattered into many, different shards. Even possessing one fragment will gain unimaginable power. I know because Naraku came close to getting the Jewel fifty years ago. In doing so, he slew the priestess protecting it-

Inuyasha

You say he killed a priestess!!?

That's right.

Inuyasha (thinking): He must be the demon who disguised himself as me and struck down Kikyo! It must be him!! Miroku, you say this Naraku takes on all kinds of shapes and forms!! What about now!!? What does he look like now!!?

Calm down. If I had that information I would have slain him long ago myself.

Inuyasha (thinking): Naraku laid a trap for Kikyo and me! He made us believe we deceived each other. The demon who killed Kikyo is still alive and is after the Sacred Jewel fragments. I will hunt down Kikyo's killer and avenge her death!!

If we keep looking for these Jewel fragments, we're sure to run into Naraku sooner or later.

[After Tetsusaiga is temporarily subdued by Kagome's arrow]

Inuyasha

I've figured you out, Sesshomaru. Because you're a demon, you shouldn't even be able to grasp the Tetsusaiga. That left arm of yours must belong to a human. You're using a shard of the Shikon Jewel to connect the arm to your body! If I can lop off that arm, you'll no longer have what it takes to hold on to the Tetsusaiga! :(charges) And that's not all: when you lose that arm, I'll have myself yet another shard of the Jewel!

(charges, smirking) Let's see you try to take this arm away from me.

Inuyasha

(launches another attack) Iron Reaver-!

(jumping up and down) You did it! You got through his armor!

I was trying to hit the Jewel in his arm. (aims another arrow)

Inuyasha

(stands up) Kagome!

Inuyasha, make her stop. Half demon though you are, the blood of a demon runs deep inside you. Be proud of that. Do not accept human aid, even in death.

Inuyasha

Don't try anything, Kagome! Sesshomaru is totally ruthless!

I can handle it! I'll hit him! (she fires, but Sesshomaru catches her arrow and dissolves it with his poison claws) What?! It melted in his hand!

(angrily, as Tetsusaiga re-activates) You've had your warning. Now I shall put an end to your interference!! (swings Tetsusaiga)

(mockingly, as he withdraws his arm) Any last words before your tragic demise?

Inuyasha

(smiles weakly) Your ignorance surprises me... I really thought you would've noticed it by now!

Noticed what?

Inuyasha

That the sword is back in MY hands!

Master! Without the human arm, you're unable to hold onto the Tetsusaiga!

He's weakening!

(stepping towards Inuyasha) Lord Sesshomaru, it seems Inuyasha has finally lost consciousness-

Do not approach any closer.

Huh?

AAAAH! (runs back) Wh-what happened?! The sword attacked of its' own accord!

(thinking) He holds power over it, despite being unconscious. If I make a move for it... he will strike me down. (turns away) We shall leave, Jaken. The Tetsusaiga is presently beyond my reach, so there's no sense in staying.

I won't argue with your decision. After you, Master!

They must have given up!

That's a lucky break.

(runs forward) Inuyasha!

Inuyasha

(thinking) Kagome... You're all right.

(to Shippo, watching Inuyasha) How is he? Notice any changes?

He's hardly moved, the entire time!

(thinking) Inuyasha said he wanted to be taken home. For him to say that, his injuries must be serious. (aloud) Shippo, tell me more about that hive.

According to the imp, it was Naraku who lent the hive to Sesshomaru. Naraku was the one who burned the Wind Tunnel into Miroku's hand, remember?

(thinking) Yeah- and, the demon that set Kikyo and Inuyasha against each other. Now, Inuyasha wants to destroy Naraku, to avenge Kikyo's death! (aloud) Does Inuyasha know about all this?

No- he needed all his energy to battle Sesshomaru, and I knew this news about Naraku would infuriate him- and the last thing he needed was a distraction.

Let's not tell him right away, okay Shippo? Otherwise he'll go after Naraku, and he's just too weak and injured to do it! We'll tell him eventually, but right now, let's concentrate on helping him recover.

Good idea.

Inuyasha

(staring at his claws, thinking) Naraku... He's close at hand. Naraku, the cursed demon who disguised himself as me, to get close enough to end Kikyo's life! And now he's returned, and is hiding nearby. (a flashback of the disguised Naraku mortally wounding Kikyo is shown) It wasn't me. It wasn't me! I didn't betray you, Kikyo! He shows up when there's a shard of the Shikon Jewel to be found. He's near.

Inuyasha

Kagome... I haven't asked how you're feeling. You're hurt, too.

Huh? It's just a little lump on the head. I'm sorry, Inuyasha. You told me to stay away from Sesshomaru, but I didn't listen, and only made things worse. If I had run away like you told me, you wouldn't have been so seriously injured.

Inuyasha

No... in the end, it was you who saved me with your arrow. I'm grateful, Kagome.

(thinking) He's grateful? Okay, now he's officially freaking me out. (feels his forehead) You're acting totally weird, now; do you have a fever? (Inuyasha glares at her)

(watching covertly with Miroku) What's Inuyasha doing, taking Kagome so deep into the forest?

Shhhh.

Inuyasha

You heard the story. About how Naraku deceived me, fifty years ago. He's the one pulling the strings behind Sesshomaru.

(thinking) He figured it out! I guess it's no surprise; Inuyasha's more aware of Naraku's movements than anyone.

Inuyasha

I've made a decision. Things are getting more dangerous by the day-

Yeah, you're probably right.

Inuyasha

Huh? What's that mean?! Aren't you scared?! We're in serious danger! This time, we were lucky, but who knows about next time?!

Well, I'm not afraid. Naraku's a terrible demon! We've got to do what we can to destroy him- (Inuyasha pulls her forward and hugs her) Huh? (thinking) What's going on? Inuyasha... what are you doing?

Inuyasha

... I was afraid. I thought I was going to lose you. I was terrified.

(having his face covered by Miroku) Lemme go! I wanna see-

This isn't something for children to see.

[After a long pause, Inuyasha suddenly stands and lets go of Kagome; as she sits up, she sees that he has taken her Shikon Jewel shards, and his expression is serious]

Inuyasha

I'll hang on to the Jewel.

What do you think you're doing?

Inuyasha

Kagome, go back to your own era!!

[he pushes her back into the Well; Miroku and Shippo, shocked, come running forward from their hiding place]

Inuyasha, what have you done?! (notices the Well is empty) Kagome is gone! What have you done?!

Inuyasha

I've sent her back home... to her own time, on the other side of the Well.

I need to speak to ye. I have given much thought to this ever since my sister was revived by the evil witch Urassue. Kikyo had told it was ye, Inuyasha, who had stolen her sacred Shikon Jewel. Do ye not think it strange? The one who disguised himself as ye could have made off with the jewel.Yet, he did not. He tricked ye into terrorizing the village, and pursuing the sacred Jewel. Then Kikyo bound ye to a tree with her sacred arrow. Was the trickster attempting to pit ye against each other, or was it Kikyo who was the true object of his malice? Was he trying to fill her heart with hatred and bitterness?

Inuyasha

What?

In Kikyo's possession, the Sacred Jewel of Four Souls remained pure. But when her heart became tainted and hateful, the Jewel also became sullied and it, too, filled with a malevolent power. At the time, there was but a single person who wished for such a terrible outcome. Shall I take ye to see the place where this man once resided?

View quote →

Kikyo had come to her own decision.

Inuyasha

She was harboring a thief?

Because she pitied him. He was unable to move. I know not if he fell from a cliff or how he sustained his injuries, but both legs were broken. The man went by the name of Onigumo.

Inuyasha

I owe ya one, Royakan- for getting me out of that hut, where my so-called friends the monk and the hag locked me in!

(dryly) For your protection, I might add.

(also dryly) Gratitude doesn't come naturally to him.

View quote →

Inuyasha

Answer me one thing before I avenge Kikyo's death: Naraku, why do you bear such a grudge against me!?

Good question. I suppose you wish an answer to that question, else eternal rest will surely elude you in death

It is him.

Kaede [chuckles]. Age has not been kind to you.

Do ye know me? Aye, Onigumo, is that not your name?!

Onigumo...Heh. That name brings me such fond memories. Nay, I am Naraku, not Onigumo... yet it cannot be denied that I was born of Onigumo, fifty years ago. [flashback is shown] Onigumo was such a foolish man indeed. He began to foster desires for the kindhearted priestess who nursed him. Eventually, he succumbed to his weakness and called forth the demons.

OOnigumo

[in flashback] My soul is rancid to the core, yet it still holds value. Feast on my flesh! I must possess my former mobility... Then the Jewel will be mine, not to mention the lovely maiden Kikyo. Feast on me, demons! DEVOUR ME! And in exchange, bestow me with your mobility and strength!

And that, is how the many demons merged... to become one. A demon named Naraku... myself. It required countless demons to create my body.

Because the priestess Kikyo was so powerless, the region teamed with demons. Her power had diminished, because she had fallen in love with a worthless half-demon. She submitted to her childish desires, and attempted to use the Shikon Jewel for her own purposes. For that, she was punished. And, Inuyasha, you suffered the punishment as well.

Inuyasha

You bastard! You are to blame for everything that happened! You deceived Kikyo and I! You tricked us into trying to kill one another!

Then tell me: how is it that the trust you held in each other was so easily destroyed?

Inuyasha

What are you saying?

It was anger- a bitter anger- that set you against one another. That, Inuyasha, is the true legacy of the trust you supposedly held for one another. Even Kikyo could not comprehend it. She should have chosen to live and used the power of the Sacred Jewel to save her. Instead she chose death. Had she pleaded for her life, her pathetic, wretched wish would have been easily granted. Then she would have understood the ultimate truth of darkness. Foolish woman. It is claimed that the sacred Shikon Jewel grows more beautiful, when it is tainted with malice.

Inuyasha

Kagome, look inside him! How many fragments are there?

Kagome Higurashi

I know there are lots. Ten! No, twenty! Wait, there's even more than I can count!

Inuyasha

Hey, Naraku, wanna see something really scary? I'll slit you from head to toe to show you what malice means!

Inuyasha

Iron Reaver! [He slashes at Naraku, but only destroys his cloak and mask, revealing Naraku's form as a long-haired man in nobleman's robes with his face hidden behind his arm. Naraku smirks and releases a burst of toxic miasma, devastating the forest around them]

A cloud of destruction! Run!

Kagome Higurashi

Inuyasha!

Farewell, Inuyasha. It seems you've succumbed to my cloud of destruction.

Inuyasha

Heh... think again! [he draws Tetsusaiga, dispersing the miasma]

[thinking] Impossible! How could he have broken through?

Inuyasha

So you were the one doing it. Gathering the souls of the dead women.

This body is molded from the earth and ashes of my grave site. It must be sustained with human souls if I am to remain here. Inuyasha, you must despise me. I have drawn in the souls of the dead, and it is my hatred of you that fuels my actions.

Inuyasha

That's just ludicrous! You many very well despise me but the feeling's not mutual. Kikyo...I never stop thinking of you! Not even for an instant!!

View quote →

Inuyasha

I could never hate you or think less of you. It's your spirit I care about, not your appearance.

Truly, Inuyasha, you wouldn't? You wouldn't despise me if I used these hands to steal the life from you?

She's kissing him!!

Inuyasha, after meeting you, I renounced my position as a shrine priestess. I became an ordinary woman. I've longed to embrace you like this when I was alive.

View quote →

Inuyasha

Kikyo's sent is so familiar. Her fragrance is just as it used to be. The only difference is that she has no warmth. Her body is cold from death. And she's sad and lonely.

We are unable to turn back the hands of time. So please allow me to embrace you a little longer.

Inuyasha

I can't save you. I can't do anything to help you, except stay like this. If only time could stand still.

Would you agree to that? If I did stop time?

Inuyasha

Yes. I don't care as long as...as long as I'm with you.
