Inuyasha quotes from InuYasha

Kikyo

Does that girl mean more to you than I do?

Inuyasha

Wait, Kikyo! Listen to me!!

Kikyo

Inuyasha, never forget the feel of my lips against yours. For it was real. Never forget.

Miroku

Inuyasha, had you heard of the Jewel's origins?

Inuyasha

Not at all. When I learned of the Jewel of Four Souls, Kikyo had it in her protection. I had never given any thought as to where the Jewel came from or how it was created.

Kagome

She has a Shikon Jewel shard in her back. I can see it.

Inuyasha

No wonder. I could already tell she was badly inured from the smell of her blood.

Inuyasha

You really love to mess around with people's feelings, don't ya!? You creep!!

Naraku

Are you thinking of Kikyo when you say that?

Inuyasha

So, Sango, how do we get rid of this stupid cave barrier, anyway?

We need to know what incantation you villagers chant in order to break it.

Sango

There isn't any incantation.

Of course there is! How else would you do it!?

Sango

At first, my villagers thought the demons' had placed a curse on the entrance. But we eventually realized that she is the one who keeps intruders out.

Miroku

And who is "she"?

Sango

The person whom the Sacred Jewel was born. Her spirit is full of sadness and regret, and it prevents others from entering. That's what I sense. It will be easier to understand once we go in. Go ahead, step through the barrier.

Inuyasha

Uh, are you sure about this?

Sango

Countless people have been killed because of the Sacred Jewel's dark power. And it is the sympathy you show for the victims that leads me to believe she will allow you to enter the cave.

Inuyasha

The demon has her in its jaws.

Sango

There was a time when demons, dragons and other monsters merged together to wage a battle. They fought against one powerful human.

Kagome

There's a person inside the stalagmite.

Miroku

Ancient armor. Is that an ancient warrior?

Sango

It's a woman. A priestess who lived many centuries ago.

Kagome

Huh?

Inuyasha

Look at the number of demons surrounding her. This priestess must've had immense spiritual power.

Sango

The court nobles controlled the country at that time. Wars and famine dragged on and on and countless people perished. Demons devoured the dead and the near dead and they were able to grow in great numbers. Many priests and warriors set out to slay them. But only one priestess, known as Midoriko, was able to purify demon souls and render them harmless. She was considered the most powerful human of her time.

Kagome

She could purify and weaken the demons' souls?

Sango

In her world, animals, trees, and even stones were all created though the foul souls.

Miroku

I've come across that philosophy in my readings. The four souls are called as aranitama, kushinitama, niginitama and sakinitama. When they're combined, they become the spirit of one person housed inside the heart. Aranitama is "courage", niginitama is 'friendship", kushinitama is "wisdom", sakinitama is "love."

Inuyasha

Uh, not really, no.

Shippo

This is way too deep for me.

Sango

When somebody does a bad deed, the four souls energize evil, and the human loses his way. In other words...

Miroku

In other words, a soul can turn good or bad, and this transformation can happen within either a human soul or a demon soul.

Sango

Now you know why Midoriko was a formidable foe for the demons' because she was able to purify their souls and make them powerless.

Inuyasha

So what!? She fought off an army of demons by turning them into a bunch of weaklings! Well, her power didn't last very long, did it? I'd say she's a pretty useless priestess now!

Sango

She hasn't lost the battle yet.

Inuyasha

It's not like this story complicates things. We just gotta go after Naraku hunting after the Jewel shards. I'm gonna take possession of the Sacred Jewel and use it to become a full-fledged demon, and then Midoriko can rest in peace!

Miroku

Looks like people who talk of the Sacred Jewel for selfish gain get thrown from the cave.

Shippo

That must be Midoriko's version of "Sit!"

Miroku

Inuyasha?

Inuyasha

Dammit! If you try to use that Wind Tunnel again, I'll tear your stupid arm off!!

Inuyasha

I don't care if you die or not. But you're not going to do while I'm around you got that? I won't be accused of abandoning you! I don't want no guilt trip! You're not gonna lay that responsibility on me!!

Kagome

Oh wow.

Shippo

He...he blew up the demons?

They been destroyed?

Inuyasha

What...happened? Huh?

Kagome

You finally realized the full power of the Tetsusaiga.

Inuyasha

So, drunkard, I hoped you did a good job stitching up the Wind Tunnel.

I did the best I could to repair it. But the Wind Tunnel has definitely spread.

Inuyasha

Does that mean his life's been shortened. How much longer does he have to live?

I don't know. The Wind Tunnel is a generational curse placed on Miroku's family by the demon Naraku. If Naraku is destroyed, then the curse will be lifted, and Miroku's life will be spared. The sooner you get him the better. It's Miroku's only hope.

Sango

I know the monk would try to peek at us, but do you think Inuyasha would?

Kagome

(scornfully) No way! He's such a cold fish.

Sango

(confused)... Do you want him to look?

Kagome

That's a bad scar.

Sango

...Yes. It didn't heal well.

Kagome

Who hurt you? The demons'?

Sango

No. I got this scar...from my younger brother. If only I realized some things earlier I could have prevented his death. Kohaku was tender-hearted. He was always a very gentle boy. Perhaps he wasn't suited for the life of a demon-slayer.

Kagome

I'm sorry to bring up such painful memories. It must be hard for you to talk about it.

Sango

No. it's all right. Before he died, Kohaku reverted back to his old self. I still mourn for him, but that thought helps ease the pain of his loss. We were both strong demon-slayers; I'm proud of that. We all have our reasons for being here, don't we?. Why are you gathering the sacred Shikon Jewel shards?

Kagome

(awkwardly) Um...I figured it was the least I could do after what happened.

Sango

So you broke the Jewel?

Kagome

I'm sorry. I know, I really blew it.

Sango

I'm sure you just trying to save it from a demon, so it's not your fault. What's amazing is, you're the reincarnation of a priestess.

Kagome

That's the part I don't get. But I do understand we need to gather the Jewel shards, and we do that faster by joining forces. With Naraku's appearance things have gotten a lot more complicated.

Sango

In order to break the curse of the Shikon Jewel, we must destroy Naraku. (Kagome nods) Did you follow the deeper points of our conversation... you peeping Toms?!

Kagome

Huh?

Sango

A monkey?

Inuyasha

Hey! What's with all the ruckus?

Shippo

This time, you actually were in deep conversation and rushed to help!

Inuyasha

(irritably) Why did they have to suspect me, too?!

Miroku

(dreamily) It was worth the pain. That was a wonderful sight we just saw.

Kagome

(thinking)Everyone has been drawn into the cursed web of the sacred Shikon Jewel. But I feel sorry for Sango the most. She saw her father and younger brother being killed.

Inuyasha

How can it be that simple? If Kohaku looks exactly the same, can you really forget everything, and turn your heart against him that easily?

Sango

Don't underestimate me!! I am a demon-slayer!! I won't fall for Naraku's tricks!!

Inuyasha

If I was in your position...I probably couldn't do it.

Inuyasha

She did it.

Miroku

Kagome purged the miasma and pierced Naraku!
