(angrily, thinking) I can't get the smell of blood off my hands; it's sickening!
KagomeHere.
(gruffly, looking away) Keep it. (long pause)... You don't have to force yourself to stay by me. (Kagome looks at him; after another pause, Inuyasha turns towards her) What's your problem?! You know, I wish you'd all stop pussyfooting around me, because I don't have a problem with what happened! I don't give a damn what I did!
Kagome
(quietly) Don't kid yourself. (Inuyasha blusters for a moment then turns away, looking depressed) It must be so hard on him
Kagome
Oh, Inuyasha... I know how you feel.
Kagome... (holds her hand, thinking) I don't remember a thing, from when I was transformed. It wasn't like that before. The next time I transform... I may even come after you with these claws, Kagome.
HHeadman
Are you certain, Monk? Is my home indeed possessed by a demon?
Yes, and we must exorcise it immediately. This is my duty as a man of the cloth; I expect no payment, Headman.
HHeadman
Absurd! You shall all be given a meal and a bed, tonight.
Look at that guy- lying through his teeth again.
Kagome Higurashi
Shhh!
MMrioku
Hm? [he stops, and everyone bumps into him]
Shhh. [he indicates a thumping sound coming from the roof]
Kagome Higurashi
Earthquake?
...You mean there was a demon?
Kagome Higurashi
So, you didn't just make it up?
Well, there's a first for everything.
[turns around, irritably] Pardon me?!
[running toward them] You guys! Kagome! [he jumps into her arms]
Kagome Higurashi
You found us! How did you know that we were here?
[panting]...I figured, Miroku wouldn't waste any time exorcising the wealthiest-looking house in the village.
You wench! How are you still able to move!?
Kagome
Well, I can!! Maybe you're not concentrating hard enough!!
Well, you've certainly managed to endure my spell. So it would seem you really are Kikyo's reincarnation, after all. Although if you actually were the real Kikyo that arrow certainly wouldn't have missed me, which means you are an imitation Kikyo!
Kagome
You'll regret that!!
I never imagined she would turn to the dark side.
Who cares what happened in the past!? I wanna know where she is now! What's the matter, Kagome?
Kagome
Deep inside, I sense the Sacred Jewel.
Wait! This place could be dangerous.
What do you know about this place?
Legend tells of an ogre who was sealed away in this region.
Kagome
An ogre?
Kagome
Look, the Sacred Jewel is inside Tsubaki's right eye.
I never imagined it would be this powerful. If only the Sacred Jewel had come in my possession fifty years ago.
Fifty years ago? Tsubaki, what happened between you and my elder sister Kikyo?
Kikyo!? You know of her!? It's all Kikyo's fault! Kikyo, that cold and heartless priestess!
Nobody is going to smear her name!
Inuyasha, you mustn't show yourself!
You don't need to worry about that. There's no way that I'm gonna help Koga. (thinking) If Kagura's shown up, that means Naraku's castle is nearby! Still, Naraku had put up a barrier, to stop us getting close. I don't like the looks of this.
I guess we have to go check this out.
Inuyasha, you're going to stay here with Kagome, okay? You want to keep your mortal state a secret, don't you?
Huh! You gotta be kidding!
Listen up, you two: if you tell a soul about this, I'll kill you both!
(weakly) ...Got it. We won't.
Kagome
Inuyasha!
(dryly) Well, he shut them up real good. So, shall we go?
Kagome
(thinking) Day is breaking! Inuyasha is going to return to his half-demon state! But, if he's seen before that...
(thinking, as he runs toward Kagura) Kagome, Miroku, Sango- you're all mere mortals, yet you fight so hard! All because you believed in your own power. I can't hold back, knowing that!
(sneering) Koga, you're a glutton for punishment, aren't you? How about surrendering? (she conjures another whirlwind above him)
Kagome
Look out, Koga!
(smirking) Kagura- it can't be much fun, killing a half-dead wolf, can it?
(draws Tetsusaiga) I'll take you on from this point!
(thinking) I know I saw it. For a moment... I saw Inuyasha.
(to Kagome) D'you think that Kagura might've seen Inuyasha in his human state just now?
Kagome
(worried) Yeah- maybe.
(thinking) I see- there was no moon last night. (smirks) So, Inuyasha- you lose all your powers on a moonless night?
Huh! What if I do? I'm back, so who cares! (charges)
You're right, it doesn't matter anymore. 'Cause you're gonna die, right this minute! Dance of the Dragon!
What happened?! How did he cut through my whirlwind?!
Kagome
Amazing!
(thinking) He's going to get me!
All of Naraku's demons...
(sheathes Tetsusaiga) Rgh! Kagura- she escaped again! Hey, ya puny wolf! Hope you learned your lesson: never interfere in my fight with Naraku! (he notices Koga is not paying attention) Huh?
(finds the Jewel shards Kagura took from him) Found 'em! My sacred Jewel shards!
No way I'm doin' that! Remember this, mangy mutt: I've sworn to avenge my comrades' deaths! I'll be the one to take Naraku's head, not you! Don't forget that! (starts to leave)
Kagome
Wait, Koga! (he stops) What you saw last night... I mean about Inuyasha. Please, don't tell.
Oh, don't worry. I couldn't care less what shape that mutt Inuyasha takes.
... Does that mean he won't tell?
I think we can count on Koga. The problem is Kagura.
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.
SSShiori's Mother
That was Sukiyomaru. That was your father, Shiori.
Kagome
I'm sure your father wanted you to live in freedom, too, Shiori.
We got them. We got the shards.
(Reveals the small glass bottle containing three fragments of the Shikon Jewel)
Kagome
Those belong to me! Give me those back!
TToran
Who's this strange-looking young girl?
Seems like she's Inuyasha's wench.
TToran
Inuyasha? The younger son of the old mutt?
SSharon
Yeah. He;s alive, isn't that a surprise?
KKoron
She seemed like good bait, so we brought her over.
Kagome
What are you gonna do to Inuyasha?
SSharon
We'll gonna kill him.
TToran
I don't bait for Sesshomaru. He'll come.
MMasahi
(to Sango) I have been asked to request that you destroy a demon, that plagues our castle nightly. We will not question your methods, and if necessary, we will evacuate the castle. (sets a huge bag of gold in front of her) Consider this an advance payment. After the demon is destroyed, you will receive the other half of the sum. I believe this offer is fair. What do you say?
But that's far too much money!
Yes- it's twenty times what she normally gets paid.
MMusahi
Then you'll accept?
The offer is too generous. Sorry, I must decline-
KTKuranosuke Takeda
You cannot refuse! (jumps off his horse, revealing himself) It's been far too long, Sango.
Kagome
Look closer, Sango. Doesn't he seem familiar to you?
He sure seems to know you.
KTKuranosuke Takeda
Well, I can't blame her for not remembering; it was an awfully long time ago.
(irritably) Huh! How come I get stuck being dragged all over your village like this?!
Kagome
Take it easy! We've got a long journey ahead of us, so we've gotta stock up on supplies!
Wasn't it you that told me not to go out in public, last time I was here?
Kagome
(cheerfully) Yeah- but that was then, and this is now! (chuckles)
(to himself) She's got a line for everything.
