Kagome Higurashi quotes from InuYasha

Koga

Kagome, can you see which one of them has the Jewel shard?

Kagome

I can't concentrate while your fighting.

Kagome

Up there! It's right ahead of us! Up on that cliff.

Maybe he's moody and jealous because he's unsure about your feelings for him?

Kagome

If that were true I'd be thrilled. But the deal is, he's still totally hung over his first girlfriend, and doesn't have time of date for me. (thinking) Wait a minute. That doesn't make sense. If he didn't have time to date for me, then he wouldn't get jealous. Especially since he's still hung up over Kikyo.

Kagome

I think it's this way. I can sense the Sacred Jewel shards.

Miroku

See how helpful Kagome is? She's the only one with that ability.

Kagome

It wasn't your fault. Naraku tricked you, Koga! Inuyasha had no desire to settle things this way. Inuyasha.

Inuyasha

It seems we were both deceived by Naraku's scheme. If you can hang on to life, there is a way to save you. Hold out your arm! I will cut it and the counterfeit Jewel shard!

Kagome

No! There must be another way! Don't just hack the guy's arm off, Inuyasha!

Shippo

Wait a minute! We can't touch the poison barrier. But, Kagome, isn't the sacred arrow able to break the barrier?

Kagome

(as she tends to Inuyasha's wounds) So you're suggesting that this Kagura woman might have been born from Naraku?

Miroku

I'm saying that we have to consider it a possibility.

Kagome

Come on!

Shippo

That's impossible- Naraku's a man! How could a man give birth to a woman?

Miroku

Naraku himself was created from a host of various demons. What if one of them was torn from his body?

Kagome

Good point- and she couldn't have been Naraku in disguise, seeing as she knew so little about us!

Miroku

(folds his arms) In any case, whatever her story might be, if she's been created by Naraku then I'm not interested in her.

Kagome

(smirking) Well, it's not like you're gonna go out with her!

Shippo

(annoyed) Could you try and stay focused please, Miroku?

Inuyasha

The woman had the same scent as Naraku- and the burn scar on her back was the same as his! Still, don't you think it's strange? For a woman, this Kagura possessed unusual strength. If Naraku could create someone like her-

Sango

Right. Why wouldn't he have done so much earlier?

Miroku

That's the point. It's not that he didn't choose to do it-

Sango

He wasn't able to before!

Kagome

Meaning, Naraku has recently gained some kind of new powers?

Kagome

(thinking) How did this happen? How did Naraku get a hold of the Sacred Jewel Shard? (she has a flashback of her last encounter with Kikyo) It is the very same shard that Kikyo stole away from me! (pause) Was it her that gave it to Naraku? Those shards that we worked so hard to collect, one by one... did Kikyo give them to Naraku?! Even so, even after she committed such a vile act, Inuyasha still loves her- even though he's this badly wounded, he cannot forget her.

Naraku

Woman, pass this message on to Inuyasha: If he must hate someone, hate Kikyo. For the only thing she desires... is Inuyasha's death.

Kagome

(angrily, drawing an arrow) I'm tired of hearing your voice! You make me sick! (notches her arrow) Take this!

Shippo

Don't do it, Kagome! It'll fire back at you, exactly like the Tetsusaiga did!

Kagome

I guarantee it won't! my arrow only strikes evil!

Miroku

The arrow!

Shippo

The arrow is starting to pierce the mirror!

Kanna

(examines the mirror, puzzled) The arrow went through. It didn't deflect.

Kagura

(angrily) What's going on?! Why did it not strike back at her?!

Kanna

... I understand. The arrow is made up of souls. The mirror is entirely filled. Unless the souls are released, the mirror will burst.

Kagome

You saw Kikyo, didn't you!? It's written all over your face! Inuyasha, you can't even look me in the eye. Just like always.

Inuyasha

Look, it wasn't some kind of tryst or anything.

Inuyasha

Hmm?

Miroku

Did you discover whether Naraku lied when he said that Kikyo gave him the Sacred Jewel?

Inuyasha

Yeah.

Miroku

So it's true then. She made a pact with Naraku!

Inuyasha

Never!! I don't know what Kikyo intends to do, but I think that...Kagome's leaving. Now what's her problem?

Shippo

Totsai, I hope you made Tetsusaiga a lot stronger than it was before.

Perhaps a little.

Kagome

A little isn't enough.

Sesshomaru

I've seen all that I needed. [advances] DIE!

Miroku

Look out, Inuyasha! He's coming for you!

Sesshomaru

[thinking] This scent again!

Kagome Higurashi

Inuyasha! [Thinking] Oh, no! He's transformed again!

You people need to take Inuyasha and flee from here!

Sesshomaru

Totosai...

Sango

Inuyasha!

Miroku

Kagome, now!

Kagome Higurashi

Sit!

Jaken

But my Lord, why did you not go after him? He was in the palm of your hands! Master Sesshomaru?

Kagura

[thinking] He's strong. He might even be able to kill Naraku. Hmm [Smiling, she flies away] Naraku holds my life in his hands, but I have no intention of remaining a servant forever to the likes of him. I am the wind. One day, I shall be free!

Kagome

[staring into the Bone-Eater's Well] I have to return the Sacred Jewel Shards. But I can't; I don't want to. I'm afraid. Once I give these back... I won't be able to see Inuyasha again.

Inuyasha

[in Kagome's imagination] I'm sorry, Kagome. I've decided to go with Kikyo.

Kagome

Don't tell me that! It's just too... How could you?! [clenches her fist] I wish Kikyo would disappear from our lives forever! [gasps] No... have I really turned into such a horrible person? It's true; right now, I probably have a horrible look on my face! I can't let Inuyasha see me like this [she leaves the shrine, not looking where she is walking, then pulls out the Shikon shards] These shards?

Kagome

The Sacred Tree. Yes, this tree... of course. This is where Inuyasha was sealed, five hundred years ago. This is the very spot where I first met Inuyasha!

Kagome

Inuyasha... Inuyasha! [crouches and begins crying, quietly] Why'd I ever meet him? If I knew it was gonna hurt this much, I wish I'd never laid eyes on him. But I want to see him; I can't deny it. I want to see Inuyasha, once more! [stands up] It's clear, now... I must be in love with him. Before I knew it, I'd grown to love him so much.

Inuyasha

[thinking] No... there's no way I can ask her to come back. Kagome understands that perfectly. I've gotta see her, and say goodbye forever... or I can't move on. Huh?

Inuyasha

...Kagome? [she glances at him]

Kagome

I went back to the present, and thought it over. Wondering about you and Kikyo... and about me.

Inuyasha

[flinches] Kagome, I'm so...

Kagome

It's okay. I understand how you feel, and because of that, I convinced myself that I couldn't stay here with you.

Inuyasha

Kagome... until I met you, I never trusted a living soul, but... I watched you shed tears for my sake. You've always stayed by my side. Whenever I'm with you, I feel so peaceful and happy. But, I- I'm not supposed to be all at ease, and cheerful. Kikyo... Kikyo came after me, and lost her life. It's only right that I repay her with my own life.

Kagome

[nods] I can't compete with Kikyo. Because, after all, I'm still alive. I've given a lot of thought about Kikyo. She and I are completely different. There's been all this talk, that I'm a reincarnation of her. Even if that's true, I'm still not Kikyo. You see, my heart belongs to me. Here's the thing: I do understand one feeling that Kikyo has. Something that we share. We're alike, in our desire to be with you again.

Inuyasha

Huh?

Kagome

[smiles] Strange, you know? The moment it hit me that Kikyo and I were connected by this desire to be with you, I felt a little bit better. The desire to be with you, gives us a common bond. That's how I was able to summon up the courage to come and see you.

Inuyasha

[thinking] Kagome... all this time, I've been wanting to see you, too, but...

Kagome

I want to be here with you, Inuyasha. I tried to forget you but I can't.

Inuyasha

[thinking] Kagome... what kind of answer can I give you?

Kagome

Inuyasha, may I ask you a simple question? [stands, approaches him] Inuyasha, will you let me stay?

Inuyasha

...So... you'll stay with me? [Kagome smiles and nods]

Kagome

[thinking] I can never break the bond, between Inuyasha and Kikyo. I understand that. But there's another thing I've come to realize, Inuyasha. My meeting you was no coincidence. It's more than that. Deep down, you must know that I want you to live.

Inuyasha

Kagome...

Kagome

[takes his hand] Well then. Let's go. [thinking] I want you to be happy. I want you to laugh a lot. I don't know what exactly, I'll be able to do for you. [Inuyasha squeezes her hand] But I'll always be by your side.

(notices Kagome) Ahh. A delectable-looking woman. Bring her to me.

Sango

Why, you-!

Come quietly!

Miroku

Are you alright, Inuyasha?! (notices the slime from the cocoon is sinking towards them) Oh, no! The barrier's diminishing!

Shippo

(standing in front of Kagome) What d'you want with her?!

We're following the chief's orders! Hand the girl over!

Shippo

No way! You won't touch a hair on Kagome's head! (Sango and Kirara join them, and the bandits surround them)

Kagome

Sango!

Sango

(deflecting two men's swings with Hiraikotsu) There's too many of 'em!

Miroku

(notices the cocoon slime is scorching his staff) It's breaking up! The barrier won't hold out much longer! Argh! (the slime scorches his shoulder) Inuyasha, are you all right?! Hang on!!

Miroku

Inuyasha?! (to himself) What's happening?!

What's this?!

Kagome

Inuyasha!

(annoyed) He ripped through my poison cocoon!

Kagome

(thinking) Inuyasha...

Shippo

Oh, no! Look at his face!

Kagome

He's transformed!

(chuckles) You amuse me, but the show is over! (transforms into his true form of a giant moth-demon) You are no more than a half-demon! You cannot defeat me, the demon Gatenmaru! DIE, LITTLE MAN!

(thinking) Why does he carry the scent of pure demon blood?! (he blasts more cocoon-slime at Inuyasha) Hah! I melted him! He was merely a half-demon!

Inuyasha

You talkin' to me?! (Gatenmaru looks up to see Inuyasha descending towards him) Filthy VERMIN!

Inuyasha

(smiles savagely) You won't escape!

Kagome

(stares at him in horror) Inuyasha...

Shippo

He's cut all over!

Kagome

Stop, already! Inuyasha!

Sesshomaru

(thinking) Inuyasha... you feel no fear. You know no pain. The demon blood coursing through your veins is taking over your soul. (Inuyasha slashes repeatedly at him, which Sesshomaru narrowly dodges) You don't even know who you are... and you will continue fighting until you die. I came in your pursuit to see if Bokuseno's words were true. (he leaps over Inuyasha and lands across from him) And now, little brother... I understand. You are not a full-fledged demon. All you are, is a half-breed.

Sesshomaru

(lunges, wielding Tokijin) Know your place in the world! A half-demon... should act like one. On your knees!

Kagome

Ah! Inuyasha!

Kagome

Please stop!

Sesshomaru

He has finally been brought down. (approaches)

Kagome

(angrily, with tears in her eyes) Don't come any nearer!

Sango

Kagome, no!

Shippo

Kagome's in trouble!

Sesshomaru

If you wish him to stop, use Tetsusaiga to reverse the transformation. (Kagome looks surprised) Otherwise, he will continue to fight when he awakens.

Kagome

(thinking) I thought he wanted to kill Inuyasha!

Miroku

(suspiciously) You could've finished him off earlier, if you'd wanted to. Instead, you merely held him off with your sword. Why did you stop at that? We all know you despise Inuyasha. I can't believe you've developed feelings for your brother.

Sesshomaru

... I will slay him... eventually. Why kill him now, when he doesn't know himself? There would be no point.

Kagome

(thinking) It's almost as if he came to stop Inuyasha's violent behavior!

Inuyasha

(stares at the bandits' corpses)... Did I do this?

Miroku

(thinking) Doesn't he remember?

Inuyasha

(stares grimly at his bloodstained hands)... Look at me. My claws absolutely reek of the scent of the bandits' blood.

Kagome

(thinking) The poor guy! (aloud) Inuyasha, you did it to save the innocent. That's why you attacked these bandits.

No! He's a demon!

If you get close, he'll rip you to pieces!

Kagome

(stares at them) You're wrong!

(pulls free) I don't care if he is a demon! He did everything in his power to save my Grandpa! He helped get rid of all the bad men!

Inuyasha

(thinking, clenching his fist) No... I hunted those men down. The demon that I wanted to become, the power that I desired... (hangs his head) It wasn't like this.
