Inuyasha quotes from InuYasha

Miroku

Tell me, Naraku. You absorbed Muso, so does that make you a half demon?

Naraku

But exactly when that occurs is a half demon's deepest secret. Let's start with you, Inuyasha.

Inuyasha

What?

Naraku

When do you lose your powers and cower in fear of your enemies?"

Inuyasha

Why you.

I know how to handle Naraku's barrier.

Inuyasha

Just tell me and you can suck as much of Kagome's blood as you want!!

Kagome

I'm not a blood bank, you know!!

But she bedded with one of the bat-demons and bore him a child.

Inuyasha

Huh?

Sango

But why did it have to be your daughter Shiori? If her grandfather had the power already, then how come...?

The power to create the barrier wanes with age. And each time he passes down his duty, he loses the power.

Inuyasha

Take me there. To the old man. Old whats-his-name.

What's on your mind, Master?

Inuyasha

Just thinkin' of old times. Myoga, would said you could come!!?

What? It's not like I'm in the way.

Inuyasha

Myoga, are you sure this is gonna make my sword stronger?

Yes. But, unfortunately, first you must slay the girl.

Kagome

It didn't work?

I should give up. Takukumeru spoke about the truth about Shiori. The villagers didn't accept either of us. Maybe she's better off there.

Inuyasha

You don't know anything. Demons will never accept half-demons, even if they're related by blood.

You want me to honer his wishes? How ludicrous! Sukiyomaru was indeed my son but he was fool! Falling in love with a mortal only hastened his demise!

What do you mean by that?

Just as you stated: He said he would protect this village. He said that unless we abide by his wishes, he would abandon his duty as Guardian of the Barrier, and would leave the tribe! Even his heart had been stolen by the mortal. That's why...

Why what?

Inuyasha

That's why what?" Don't tell you- You didn't kill your own flesh and blood!?

I did. I took great pleasure in hastening his trip to the netherworld. I had Shiori, so the boy was of no use to me.

Inuyasha

Farewell.

Wait.

Shiori?

Take this.

Inuyasha

You want me to break the orb?

Smash it to pieces. This blood coral crystal is a precious heirloom passed down to each Guardian of the Demon-Bat Barrier. This is what gives us the ability to put up such a powerful barrier. And it stores all the power of each generation of Guardians, like my grandfather's and my father's. So if you break the crystal, I think you'll be able to strengthen your sword. That's what you want, isn't it?

We couldn't have asked for anything better! Smash the thing, Master Inuyasha.

Inuyasha

Yeah! Good idea. The sooner we get rid of that evil thing, the better.

Inuyasha

Shiori.

Thanks for helping.

Inuyasha

I'm the one should be thanking you for helping me. You weakened the old bat's power.

Uh-uh. I wasn't the one who did that. Someone put his arms around us; around me and Mommy. He wanted to protect us.

That was Sukiyomaru. That was your father, Shiori.

Kagome

I'm sure your father wanted you to live in freedom, too, Shiori.

Miroku

Such a shame. I'm sure there troubles aren't over; Shiori and her mother, I mean.

Inuyasha

Oh, don't you worry about these two. A good half demon can't be afraid of every little hardship.

Miroku

Yes, indeed. [pokes the back of Inuyasha's head with his staff, grinning] And here, we have a perfect example of how a half-demon should behave.

You must be him, Sesshomaru's brother.

Inuyasha

Yeah, we're not exactly a close-knit family.

Inuyasha

What was that for!?

Sesshomaru

Silence, Inuyasha!!

Inuyasha

What the hell?

Sesshomaru

Remember your past, Inuyasha. You lost your heart to a mortal and ended under a spell for years. Coincidentally, you have no right to be part this battle.

Something tells me this has something to do with the great war that your father raged many eons ago.

Inuyasha

Eons ago?

Shippo

Hey, I thought that Hachi said it happened fifty years ago.

No, no. It was long before that. It was when your father was still in the western province.

Inuyasha

That's all news to me.

The panther tribe of cat-demons attacked the west, and tried to conquer all other demons. But your father stepped in order to stop them. The panther tribe leader was an enormous cat-demon. Your father protected his men and battled the demons. Naturally, it was your father who emerged victorious. The demons who escaped domination by the panther tribe were extremely grateful. However, a cat's anger runs deep, and they cursed your father and his family for all eternity. And swore that they would, one, day have their revenge.

Inuyasha

So it's true that a cat's wrath lasts seven generations.

Like you, Lord Sesshomaru did not participate in the great war, either. But I'm certain the cats are coming after him to get their revenge.

Inuyasha

What were you doing when all this was going on?

Naturally, I was watching over his home while he was away!

Inuyasha

That's typical.

Miroku

You know, it's strange that he so adamant wanting Inuyasha to leave, wasn't it?

Inuyasha

Heh. He just doesn't want to admit to himself that a half-demon can share his bloodline.

Still, I think it would noble for the two of you to join forces, and fight your father's enemy together.

Inuyasha

I'm not going to have anything to do with Sesshomaru or my father. I came here to take back the Jewel shards and Kagome. That's all!
