Sango quotes from InuYasha

Kagome

Kikyo...

Miroku

Look at this light...

Sango

It's Kikyo's soul.

Shippo

... It almost feels as if she's saying goodbye.

Kagome

(closes her eyes, thinking) It's so warm.

Kagome

Inuyasha...?

Inuyasha

...Kikyo doesn't want us to mourn her. She says... she'll protect us, forever.

This house was built specially for travelers like you to use. Please make yourselves at home- we'll see you in the morning.

Yes. Enjoy your stay! (they leave)

Inuyasha

You're all so careless!

Kagome

(looking concerned) Look, you need rest more than any of us.

Inuyasha

Huh! What do you know? Sitting around just makes it worse.

Sango

Sheesh! He never stops complaining! Kagome, please tell him to sit.

Kagome

What's the point? (thinking) He can't help it. It's obvious Inuyasha still hasn't gotten over Kikyo's death.

Miroku

I've created a barrier. It should keep us safe, for the time being.

Shippo

What's wrong with your sword, Inuyasha?! How come they were able to attack us, but you weren't able to attack them? It's almost like they've gotten the real Tetsusaiga!

Miroku

Unfortunately, it seems as if all of Tetsusaiga's demonic energy has somehow been captured by Kanna's mirror.

Shippo

This isn't the first time this has happened! That sword, Dakki, was able to steal Tetsusaiga's demonic energy as well! (flashback of Inuyasha's battle against Toshu and Dakki) But in the end, he was killed by the demonic energy from the blade.

Inuyasha

That's because he was human. It's different, this time.

Miroku

Different to say the least. This demon has an endless appetite for energy. It won't be nearly as simple this time.

Kagome

(to Inuyasha) It seems unfair, seeing as how far you've come with Tetsusaiga.

Sango

Exactly. Who would've thought that Wind Scar and Adamant Barrage would fall into the hands of the enemy?

Shippo

(nervous) So... Is Tetsusaiga just an empty shell, now?

Shippo

It doesn't make sense- look where those spears went! It's like they were trying to avoid us!

Inuyasha

(in a feral voice) That was Tetsusaiga. Its' protective barrier must have kicked in... and that means Tetsusaiga is much more than just an empty shell!

Kagome

Inuyasha! Look at your face!

Inuyasha

Huh?! (he looks at his enlarged claws)

Miroku

There's no mistaking that look! His demon blood took over because he was in danger!

Shippo

This is not going well! Once Inuyasha transforms into a full demon, he won't hesitate to tear us apart; in fact, he'll enjoy it!

Sango

It's going to attack again!

Inuyasha

(growling) Fine by me- bring it on!

Kagome

Inuyasha, is that you? Do you still recognize us?!

Inuyasha

(growling) I don't know what I look like to you right now, but my mind is perfectly clear! (thinking) I can feel it: Tetsusaiga is seeking my demonic energy! It's trying to help me win this battle!

Inuyasha

Kanna... I know you were probably ordered by Naraku to fight to the death, right? Well, I'm not interested. Killing you would only give me nightmares.

Miroku

Indeed. Any further fighting would be pointless. Besides, now that she's half-destroyed, Naraku won't bother looking for her.

Sango

It's true. She may be able to survive.

Kagome

(approaches Kanna) Go on, Kanna. It's all over now.

Kanna

... Over?

Naraku

(telepathically) It isn't over, Kanna. Far from it. I've never seen such foolishness- allowing Kanna to escape after all the suffering she's caused you! Your forgiveness and compassion truly sickens me. This is your final task, Kanna: You will take the lives of Inuyasha and his friends with your own!

Kagome

What is it, Kanna? Don't you understand? You're free, now.

Kanna

(thinking) ...Free?

Kanna

...Kagura.

Naraku

Now, walk over towards Inuyasha and his friends. I shall be watching over you, until the very end.

Kagome

What's going on, Kanna? Do you know why this is happening?!

Naraku

Move! You must get closer to them, Kanna!

Kagome

Huh? I can't-

Kagome

(steps towards her) What is it you're trying to tell me?

Inuyasha

(grabs her and pulls her back) Look out!

Kagome

(thinking) Kanna! (a tiny shard of glass hits her eye) Agh- my eye!

Inuyasha

Kagome, are you okay?

Kagome

(clutching her eye) Ugh- it's my eye!

Kanna

The light...

Kagome

Huh?!

Kanna

The light... will destroy Naraku.

Kagome

It's Kanna's voice! I can see something... Is that the Shikon Jewel? There's a light at the center! Kanna... are you the one showing this to me? This light... is this what will destroy Naraku?

Sango

Stop! That's enough. Are you okay?!

Didn't I try to warn you? You're wasting your time; resistance is pointless! There's nowhere for you to run!

I shall start by eating the bones of that troublesome monk.

Sango

... Very well, then. You may have Hiraikotsu. However, I want your word that no harm will come to the monk. Promise me that, and the bone is yours.

How absurd! Obviously, you still don't understand the situation you're in. I will get what I want, whether you obey or resist! You are in no position to negotiate. Both of you will die, and Hiraikotsu will belong to Father. It's that simple.

Sango

I understand. (smiles grimly, thinking) Now, I know what needs to be done.

Sango

(thinking) This demon-slaying salve is strong enough to dissolve Hiraikotsu. (she smears the salve over Hiraikotsu and hurls it at the bone-demon's father) Try eating Hiraikotsu now! Take this!

You expect me to remove the poison from your weapon?

Miroku

Yes. We've heard that you would be able to do so, Master.

Let me have a look. (licks the pieces of Hiraikotsu with his tongue)

Inuyasha

So you can fix it?

Demon-slaying salve?! That's some harsh stuff you put on it! Even if I could fix it, I'd refuse to do it on principle! At a glance, I can tell you that this weapon is well-worn; this suggests you've been fighting with it for a long time, yet you'd apply this vicious poison to it without a thought?! That doesn't sit well with me.

Inuyasha

(grabs him by his beard) Look, you don't even know the whole story behind it!

Inuyasha

...That was gross.

I forgot to mention, I'm a little bit hungover.

Sango

That's enough, Inuyasha. The Master of Potions is right, after all. There's no excuse for what I did.

Inuyasha

What, so you're just gonna give up now?!

Fine, I'll do it!

Inuyasha

Huh?! A second ago, you said you wouldn't do it!

That's because I thought it belonged to you! But your friend here... I like her!

Kagome

(smiles) Apparently, the Master of Potions has a soft spot for girls.

Miroku

Well, obviously he's a good person at heart-

Shippo

If, by "good person" you mean pervert, then yes.

Young lady, let's have a look at your hand.

Sango

(sharply) What are you doing?

Miroku

(pokes the Master between the eyes with his staff) Perhaps he's a little too good of a person.

I was merely examining the strength in her legs and waist. You see, though I agreed to fix your weapon, in reality you are the one who must fight and risk death.

Sango

"Risk death?"

Correct. (he brings up two giant jugs of potion) Now, be kind and hand over Hiraikotsu, dear.

Inuyasha

Hey, the whole thing's dissolving!

Poison will do that.

Inuyasha

Poison?! But I thought you were gonna fix it!

Hiraikotsu will be fixed when this poison turns into a remedy.

Sango

Ok, so now what happens?

Well, mainly I need you to slay the demons inside this jug here. The poison in Hiraikotsu's jug will turn into a remedy if you can pacify the demons within it! To put it another way: if you aren't able to pacify the demons, Hiraikotsu will dissolve into nothing. You follow me?

Sango

Understood. I'll do it.

Sango, even now the monk is being consumed by miasma. He is nothing more than a burdon upon you.

Sango

Yes, I know that. But, the monk has risked his life many times to save me.

And for that you're willing to throw away your own life, to save a dying man?

Sango

I have no intention of throwing my life away!

What?!

Sango

I plan to survive, and share my life with the monk. Knowing he's alive is what gives me the courage to live on. Hiraikotsu, I beg of you... lend both of us your strength!

Just so we're clear: the monk's body hasn't recovered. You understand that, right? He merely can't feel the pain from his wounds anymore. The damage from the miasma remains.

Inuyasha

I know... and I'm grateful even for that.

Sango

Master of Potions! You've helped restore Hiraikotsu to the way it was. I can't thank you enough.

"The way it was?" You forget that your Hiraikotsu has been swimming around in my herbs and poisons! It will never be "the way it was" as you say.

Sango

Huh?

However, it won't be evident to you until you fight again. When you do, don't be surprised by how it may have changed.

Naraku

Are you scared, Kohaku? Scared that my demonic energy might manipulate you into harming that girl? Perhaps you're afraid you'll lose control and kill her, just like you killed your father and comrades! [Kohaku has a flashback of the day he died] Do not be afraid; you will no longer have to suffer when I am through with you.

Rin

Kohaku!

Sango

Naraku!

Kohaku

Sister, it's you!

Naraku

Sango. If you truly care for your brother, end his life, so he may finally rest in peace.

Sango

Don't be ridiculous!

Naraku

Do you not understand, Sango? Death is the only way to save Kohaku's soul from its' torment. I want you to think about it: your brother managed to escape my control and come to his senses, yet you siblings still cannot be together. Why is that? (pause) It's because Kohaku is avoiding you. You, his loving and devoted sister. But who can blame him? After all, Sango, you saw everything, every shameful act he committed. Like it or not, your very presence reminds Kohaku of his hateful past.

Sango

...Is that all you have to say?

Naraku

Hmm?

Sango

That Kohaku is avoiding me? What's your point? I knew that already!

Kohaku

(thinking) Sister...

Sango

Naraku... Kohaku may have been under your control, but that doesn't change the fact that he killed our father in cold blood! I, too, re-live that day over and over again, just as Kohaku must! I know he feels anguish and shame for what he did, and that is exactly why I will not let him die! Until Kohaku can overcome that pain, until he is free, I will continue to fight you, Naraku!

Naraku

(laughs) Your resolve is admirable... though, sadly, it won't be of much use to you.

Kohaku

Sister...

Naraku

Oh? You're able to speak, while under the control of my demonic energy. Amazing... with that Jewel shard in you, your body will be under my control, and yet you will remain conscious of it the entire time.

Sango

Damn you!

Naraku

What will you do, Sango? How do you plan to save your precious Kohaku now?

Sango

Silence, Naraku! I'm sick of listening to your NONSENSE!

Sango!

Naraku

Heh! Come now, you don't actually expect to defeat me with Hiraikotsu, do you- [Hiraikotsu smashes straight through his torso] Arggh! (thinking) Impossible! I am a mass of demonic energy; I cannot be shattered by the same energy! No... there's more than just my demonic energy. Something new... an entirely different poison-

Naraku

(thinking) My body isn't recovering!

Inuyasha

Yes! ADAMANT BARRAGE!

Kagome Higurashi

Where're you going?!

Miroku

WIND TUNNEL!

Inuyasha

Dammit! He got away.

Kagome Higurashi

(as she purifies Kohaku's Shard) Ok- how's that feel?

Kohaku

Good. It feels a lot better.

Kagome Higurashi

I might not be able to purify it as well as Kikyo could.

Kohaku

... Kikyo's light.

Kagome Higurashi

Huh?

Kohaku

It happened when Naraku tried to take my Jewel Shard. I'm not sure why, but the minute his tentacles made contact, this pure light started flowing into it!

Kagome Higurashi

From Naraku's tentacles?

Kohaku

It almost felt...as though Lady Kikyo was purifying me!

Kagome Higurashi

(thinking) Does that mean Kikyo's power somehow entered Naraku- and remains there, even now?

Kanna

(flashback) The light... will destroy Naraku.

Kagome Higurashi

The image Kanna showed me before she died- it was the Shikon Jewel! It was defiled, but in the center of it, there was a light! That must've been Kikyo's light!

Sango

(sits by her brother) And so...

Kohaku

Huh?

Sango

Kohaku, are you suggesting you'll be able to use your shard to defeat Naraku?

Kohaku

Well, I-

Rin

Naraku said he was going to take Kohaku's head! He said once he did that, he could slowly defile the shard!

Kohaku

Rin!

Rin

(defensively) Well, you almost died, Kohaku!

Kohaku

(to Sango) Don't listen to her! Look, Sister, it's clear that my Shard can cause Naraku pain! (Sango looks away) I know Lady Kikyo's power is protecting me! That's why-

Inuyasha

Enough! (thumps him over the head) Stop your babbling!

Kagome Higurashi

Inuyasha!

Inuyasha

Gimme a break; why do we have to keep tiptoeing around him? Sango, just tell it to him straight: it's a pain in the butt when he wanders off by himself, isn't it?!

Sango

Inuyasha...

Kagome Higurashi

Ugh! Sit, boy! (Inuyasha faceplants)

Inuyasha

Why?!

Kagome Higurashi

It wasn't Kohaku's fault this time- Sesshomaru left them there alone, so it was just Kohaku and the little ones around when he was attacked!

Jaken

(angrily) "The little ones?!" Who are you calling "little?!"

Rin

Well, your height, your heart, your personality... so many things about you are little! (Jaken bursts into tears)

Sango

No, it's just as Inuyasha says. This isn't the first time it's happened. (Kohaku looks away) Kohaku, you know you are weak of heart and strength; that is why Naraku can take advantage of you! If you fight alone, you don't stand a chance against him! At least tell me you understand that much.

Kohaku

... It's true. You're right.

Kagome Higurashi

I believe that Kikyo left her power in your shard, but I don't think she'd have wanted you to sacrifice it. I think she'd want you to treasure it and protect it, like the beautiful gift that it is.

Kohaku

Yes. You're right. (thinking) Lady Kikyo...

You tried- but in the end, it wasn't enough.

How dare you?!

Kohaku

Lord Sesshomaru!

Inuyasha

Sesshomaru?

Sesshomaru

Naraku's body, is it? (draws and swings Bakusaiga) Bakusaiga!

Sango

Kohaku! (she catches him)

Kohaku

Sister!

Sango

You're safe- are you hurt at all?

Kagome

(observing the disintegrating tentacles) Amazing!

Inuyasha

Looks like a body that's been cut by Bakusaiga can never be used again!

Sesshomaru

It ends here, Magatsuhi. Rather than face me, you chose to use Byakuya of the Dreams so you could elude me. Are you really that fearful of Tenseiga?

Kagome

(thinking) Tenseiga is the only sword that can cut through Magatsuhi! And if Magatsuhi is destroyed, my sealed spiritual power will finally be released!

Hah! If you could destroy me with Tenseiga, you would have done it with your first stroke.

Sesshomaru

Oh, it's not that I couldn't destroy you; I merely chose not to.

Sesshomaru

I wanted you to see my face. (raises Tenseiga) That way, you would know it was me who was killing you. Tenseiga!

DAMN YOU! DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS THE END! I AM INDESTRUCTIBLE, AND I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!

Naraku

(chuckles) Kagome... it seems your spiritual powers still haven't returned. I've been hiding behind the barrier, but that you were unable to sense my presence surprised even me.

Inuyasha

(brandishes Tetsusaiga) Naraku, you bastard!

Naraku

(smirks) So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and start swinging. (Inuyasha growls) Oh, don't worry- I'm not planning to kill her. Not until I've taken Kohaku's shard, that is.

Sango

It won't happen!

Naraku

It's pointless. All you've done is sever an unnecessary tentacle, one that can be sacrificed at any time. Just as Inuyasha's Meido Zangetsuha and Sesshomaru's Bakusaiga did, you've only destroyed that which I did not need.

Inuyasha

(enraged) Where's Naraku hiding?! Find him for me, Kagome!

Kagome

(thinking) I see it- Naraku's blackened Shikon Jewel! I'll use my Sacred Arrow- it may be powerless right now, but it can still show Inuyasha the way! (she fires at the clouds)

Inuyasha

(draws Tetsusaiga) Over there? Meido Zangetsuha!

Naraku

(unseen, laughing) You let your guard down!

Inuyasha

Huh?!

Naraku

Inuyasha, perhaps now you realize how weak you are. Despite your efforts, you couldn't save your dear Kohaku. But you must be used to it by now; you didn't fare much better when you tried to save Kikyo. That's right, Kikyo's light has died. And as for Kohaku's shard, it has now been fully defiled. (vanishes)

Kagome

(thinking) It's true- Kikyo's speck of light in the Shikon Jewel has disappeared!

Inuyasha

(punches his fist into the ground) Damn it! Damn it, damn it, damn it!

Kagome

Inuyasha... (tearful, thinking) I'm sorry, Sango. I'm sorry, Kohaku!

Sango

...W-what is this?

Kagome

Kokahu?!

Sango

Kohaku!

Kohaku

S-sister...

Kagome

When Naraku took it, Kikyo's light must have left the shard and stayed in Kohaku!

Inuyasha

Kikyo's light?...

Kagome

(thinking) Kikyo saved him. In the end, she must have decided it was more important to save Kohaku's life than to destroy Naraku!

Sango

(tearfully embracing her brother) Kohaku! I'm so glad.

Kohaku

(also tearful) Me too, Sister.

Kagome

(thinking, grimly) The fight against Naraku has been left to us. It's time to finish it!
