Kagome Higurashi quotes from InuYasha

Inuyasha

This girl is dead, just like Kikyo.

Kagome

The walking dead like Kikyo.

Kikyo

It seems you, too, possess the power of a priestess.

Kagome

What are you doing here? Are you feeling all right? Are you sick? Where are your soul-collectors? I don't see them in here. Why are you collapsed in here like this?

Kikyo

You certainly ask a lot of questions, young lady.

Kagome

Come on. We gotta get out of here.

Kikyo

It's impossible. We're in the belly of the priestess-sealer.

Kagome

Priestess Sealer?

Kikyo

A demon that traps priestesses and absorbs their spiritual powers. It puts up a barrier on the outside, and allows no one but priestesses inside.

Kikyo

You're quite an incredible woman. Normally, a priestess would be unable to even move inside this place.

Kikyo

Leave me behind.

Kagome

Huh?

Kikyo

I am already dead, remember? You have a much better chance of escaping from here rather than being burdened by me. In order to escape from here, you must destroy the heart, which you'll find deeper in the cave.

Kagome

But I can't do that.

Kikyo

Huh?

Kagome

I don't know what are chances are, but I'm not going to let you order me around! Listen, I'm not giving up on you! So I need you to start thinking of escaping from here!

Kikyo

You're serious.

Kikyo

Hmm.

Kagome

I was talking about Inuyasha, not about myself. He's always saying things to make people mad, but he's getting a lot better, actually. I had a fight with him, just before I came here. I guess things like that never happened with you, two. What am I saying? Of course you didn't. Stupid! What am I balling about? Why do I have to say things like that to Kikyo of all people? A long time ago, she and Inuyasha were...

Kikyo

Run, Kagome! Run! It's too dangerous to say here.

Kagome

Forget it! I won't leave you behind!!

Kagome

Um, Kikyo?

Kikyo

You're still here? You should be on your way. Wait a moment. Tell me. Why didn't you give up on me, Kagome? When you were praying, did you trust in me?

Kagome

What's the deal? I've never seen you this talkative before. I can't answer your question 'cause I don't understand it myself.

Kikyo

Then why did you save me? A dead person?

Kagome

Because a certain guy we both know would be heartbroken if you weren't around.

Kikyo

Same for you.

Miroku

It's almost as if he possesses two different hearts.

Kagome

I think you're right.

Miroku

Huh?

Kagome

I've heard of it before- it's called a "split personality"! Another completely different personality hidden in the subconscious has emerged!

Inuyasha

(to Suikotsu) I dunno about all of that, but I do know that I was right about you belonging to the Band of Seven!

Suikotsu! (tosses Suikotsu his tiger-claw gauntlets) Here ya go.

(smirks as he puts on the gauntlets) So, then... I seem to recall you asking to do battle with me. (raises the claws) Well, you're about to get your wish. (Inuyasha glances at Tetsusaiga) What's the matter? Are you to frightened to fight without your mighty sword?

Inuyasha

(cracks his knuckles) Huh- not likely! Are those claws of your all you got goin' for ya? 'Cause you're gonna need a heck of a lot more than that, you filthy two-faced liar!

Kagome

Move her away.

Inuyasha

Huh?

Kagome

We have to get Kikyo well away from this place. Otherwise she won't be able to wake up. I think.

Inuyasha

Huh? Kikyo.

Kikyo

Inuyasha. Where am I?

Inuyasha

Away from the village.

Kikyo

I see. So then, I take it my soul-collectors were unable to reach the village?

Inuyasha

No.

Kikyo

What happened? To them?

Inuyasha

The Band of Seven? They retreated, but they took Suikotsu with them.

Kikyo

I see. Kagome.

Kagome

Yes?

Kikyo

You must have noticed- the Jewel fragment in Suikotsu's neck...

Kagome

I did. I saw the pure Jewel shard become cloudy.

Kikyo

And then he went away, didn't he?

Inuyasha

You're mine, now!

Miroku

Saint Hakushin's altar ornament! I knew it!

Inuyasha

(thinking) Huh? Saint Hakushin's ornament? The demonic aura around Tetsusaiga has been purified! (aloud) What's the meaning of this?!

Miroku

Wait, Inuyasha! That Vajra was at the core of the sacred barrier around this island! It seems Saint Hakushin is an ally of Bankotsu!

I take it he wants me to finish you off quickly? I have to admit, it bothers me that he doesn't have faith in my ability! (he lunges at Inuyasha) It's too bad this has to end so soon for you all!

Inuyasha

(turns around) You got him, Kagome!

(glares at Kagome) Well, girl... you'll regret that.

Kagome

You're nothing but a coward! Huh?

Miroku

His arm turned to bone!

(thinking) A Sacred arrow?! She must be Kagome, Kikyo's reincarnation!

What?!

Sango

Bankotsu is...

Shippo

Disappearing!

Inuyasha

Bankotsu, damn you! Don't you dare!

Inuyasha

(thinking) A barrier?!

Inuyasha

...He's gone.

Kagome

Inuyasha! Are you all right?

Inuyasha

I'm fine... but now what?

Miroku

Bankotsu isn't our only problem. The Vajra seems to have disappeared as well.

Sango

Do you think it helped Bankotsu escape?

Miroku

Yes, probably.

I don't understand! What happened to Saint Hakushin? He's gone! Where do you think he could've disappeared to?

Kagome

Bye! Shintaro, take good care of yourself and your sisters!

I'll pray for your good journey!

Miroku

If, for some reason, you ever feel lonely, please don't hesitate to call on me! I'll come to your aid anytime, day or night, especially night- Aghh!

Sango

That's enough outta you, Miroku.

Miroku

Ah! It's attached, you know!

Kagome

I'm worried. The barrier is making Shippo so dizzy.

Inuyasha

Hey, Miroku! Are you absolutely sure that Naraku is hiding in Mount Hakurei?

Miroku

I'm not entirely certain, but I'm positive that Saint Hakushin is the one creating this barrier.

Sango

Well, it does make sense, because the Saint protected Bankotsu, one of Naraku's men.

Inuyasha

I would've thought that a massive evil like Naraku wouldn't be able to enter a sacred place like that.

Miroku

Once inside, though, there's no better place to hide. Think of those who hunt him: the wolf-demon, Koga. Sesshomaru. You, Inuyasha. And Kikyo... are all unable to go to Mount Hakurei.

Sango

Let's not waste any more time, Miroku.

Miroku

Right.

Kagome

Hmm?

Inuyasha

What are you doing?

Sango

Inuyasha and Kagome, you stay here.

Kagome

Are you sure about this? The two of you are going there alone?

Sango

Watch over Kirara. I can't take her.

Kagome

Yeah, sure Sango.

Miroku

Don't you worry about a thing, Kagome. (groping a furious Sango's rear end as he speaks) From this point on, I won't have a spare moment to caress Sango's enticing body.

Sango

(whacks him over the head with Hiraikotsu) I'll show you enticing!

Kagome

I'm not worried about that. Are you sure you want to do this? We don't even know what's at Mount Hakurei.

Sango

Inuyasha can't go in past the barrier, remember? It has to be the two of us.

Kagome

Still...

Inuyasha

Sango. Miroku. (they turn towards him) Just check around, but don't take any unnecessary risks, okay?

Miroku

Rest assured, that's what we intend to do.

Sango

(nods)... We're off.

Kikyo

I'll ask you just one more time. Naraku, tell me what your true purpose here is!

Naraku

I'm surprised. Did you come all this way and go to all this trouble, to ask me such a simple matter?

Kikyo

I'm the one asking the questions.

Naraku

[chuckles] Round and round goes the spinning wheel...spinning and weaving a red thread of fate. Meeting Rasetsu, or should I say Kanske, was no coincidence. It was according to my plan.

Kikyo

You mean...?

Naraku

I merely took advantage of his desire to find a place to die. It was all so simple. I put rumors into that dying man's head about the sacred grounds of Mt. Hakurei, and thus set him on your path. Now do you understand? [chuckles] You did not come here of your own accord. I lured you here. I have often heard you humans refer to this as fate or destiny.

Naraku

Only the weak utter such nonsense. It is different for the truly powerful. They create this so-called fate or destiny themselves.

Kikyo

You're the one speaking nonsense, Naraku!

Naraku

Oh, yes. You were interested in finding out about my true aim. You wish to know? Then I shall tell you. [he raises his forearm, and a blade of bone grows from his wrist] You shall learn my purpose, what it is I need to accomplish at Mt. Hakurei. Here's your answer.

Kikyo

Agh!

Naraku

[chuckles] Your imitation body is formed of bones and graveyard soil. You don't even bleed.

Kikyo

[slumps to her knees] I curse you, Naraku.

Naraku

You underestimated me, Kikyo. You came feeling self-assured, so certain that I would not be able to kill you. You believed that as long as I had the heart of that worthless human- that pathetic bandit, Onigumo, who loved you with all his being- you believed I wouldn't harm you. [he retracts the bone-blade] I feel nothing, even after wounding you so. No remorse, no sadness.

Kikyo

[thinking] Does that mean his heart no longer beats inside you? I see! That's what Kagura had in her possession- his human heart!

Naraku

The bottom of this crevice is filled my miasma. An imitation body like yours will dissolve easily, in a matter of seconds. [he raises his arm again, his fingers extending into clawed tentacles] Kikyo... this will be your burial ground.

Kikyo

No! Why are these memories coming back to me now? [the tentacles impale her and retract, sending her plummeting into the miasma gorge] Inuyasha...

Inuyasha

Huh?!

Kagome Higurashi

Inuyasha?

Inuyasha

[thinking] I don't like this. I've got a bad feeling about something...

Kagura

What's going on here? Somehow she repelled the shard. (thinking) So there are some things this devilish brat can't do.

Kagome

You're wrong.

Kagome

What you're saying to me is completely wrong. Inuyasha can never forget about Kikyo. And even though I force myself to accept this rationally I still feel the pain and jealousy in my heart. However, bearing a grudge against Inuyasha, and feeling jealousy toward Kikyo, these are normal feelings that any human would have. And It is not unlikely for me to feel bitterness towards these two. This isn't the first time that Inuyasha has tried to dessert me because he knew how difficult all this was for me. I even wished Kikyo gone but then I felt so bad after harboring such thoughts. These feelings mean that I...that I'm in love with Inuyasha!!

Inuyasha

(on Shinosuke) He's gotta be the gloomiest guy I've ever met.

Kagome

Could you not be rude, for a change?!

Miroku

Shinosuke, you mentioned earlier that you were looking for your missing fiance. What exactly did you mean by that?

Well, just three days before our wedding ceremony, I was called into battle. I was seriously injured; a full two years passed, before I was able to return home. Not long ago, I finally returned to my hometown, but the village had been burned to the ground. And my fiance, Wakana, was nowhere to be found.

Kagome

Aw...

I searched for her, not knowing if she was dead or alive. That's when I heard of a village inhabited solely by women.

Miroku

(perks up) Oh! A village of only women?

I heard that the village was made up of women who'd lost their husbands and children to war, and that they lived together to support each other during their time of need.

Inuyasha

(hears something) Hm?

When I heard, I thought perhaps Wakana had given up on my return... and had joined them.

Kagome

(to Sango) Do you think this has anything to do with that village of demon women the old man told us about?

Sango

Yes- it has to be more than a coincidence.

Miroku

I've heard enough. (stands up)

Hmm?

Miroku

We will accompany you to this village.

Thanks for offering, but how would we find it?

Inuyasha

(darkly) We don't have to- they've come looking for us. (gestures at two women watching them from the forest) So that solves part of the problem.
