Shippo quotes from InuYasha

Shippo

You killed that giant bird of paradise in one swing.

Miroku

You certainly mastered the Wind Scar.

Inuyasha

Yeah well. I certainly gotten rid of the pigeon from Hell. Now there's that fleabag wolf to deal with it

Sango

[examining the Bone-Eater's Well] It looks like an ordinary old well. Yet, this passage connects to Kagome's world?

Shippo

Yep, but the only ones who are able to travel through the well, are Kagome and Inuyasha. He's the only one who can go back and get Kagome, but that stubborn dolt is too proud to ever do that! He'd cut off his nose to spite his face!

Inuyasha

Everybody's takin' a shot at me today, I can feel it! My ears are burning.

Kaede

Inuyasha, stupid is as stupid does. Ye need to learn, to be more careful with your speech.

Inuyasha

Are you calling me stupid, you old hag?! What do you know about it, you weren't even there-

Kaede

I know this, ungrateful dog: In order to find the Sacred Jewel shards, Kagome's spiritual power is essential, yet ye made her upset with your words and sent her running home.

Inuyasha

That was her idea!! I didn't tell her to! She said "I'm going home, stupid!!"

Kaede

[gives him a look]...Inuyasha.

Inuyasha

Yeah, what?

Kaede

That imitation was pathetic.

Inuyasha

I'm a demon, not a comedian!

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?

Shippo

Miroku, look! Inuyasha is wielding his Tetsusaiga- he'll cut through the Wind Scar!

Miroku

I must stop him. He does not yet know about the second demon, the soul-thieving apparition. Sango's weapon was thrown back at her, and the Wind Scar will be hurled back at Inuyasha!

Inuyasha

I see it!

Kagura

(sneering) I allowed you to see it!

Inuyasha

The Wind Scar!

Kagura

You wish to slice through it, I imagine?

Inuyasha

You are mine! (he launches the Wind Scar attack)

Kagura

(laughs coldly) Now, perish!

Inuyasha

What?! (he is blasted by his own attack) Arrrgggh!

Inuyasha!

Miroku

It's him! Naraku!

Naraku

(chuckles) That was indeed simple enough. I came, so that I could ask you in person how it felt to have your own power turned against you- and very easily, I might add.

Miroku

(sarcastically, stepping in front of Inuyasha) I am indeed honored by your presence, Naraku- I rather expected a demon puppet. You are a coward who never sullies his own hands, who knows only how to lay traps! You must have been falsely confident, or else you would not have dared to show your face!

Naraku

(Calmly) The Wind Tunnel? You are free to draw anything into your void. (glances at Kanna's mirror) But, surely, even you could not be that foolish, monk.

Miroku

(thinking) The souls of Kagome and the villagers are locked within that mirror! (he reluctantly wraps the rosary back around his forearm]

Naraku

My course of action was simple: I created Wind and Void to act as incarnations of myself. And yet, witness the damage I was able to inflict!

Miroku

(thinking) Incarnations? So, my suspicions were correct. Naraku's power has increased drastically if he is capable of this level of sorcery! We have fought Kagura, the Wind sorceress, before. And this other, she is... "Void?" That is why we could not sense its evil; it has no presence! It's no wonder the situation went unnoticed until it was too late!

Kagura

(opens her fan) Have we not spoken long' enough? Shall we take Inuyasha's head along with us as a trophy (Naraku glares at her) No? Did you not want to tell that woman that Inuyasha had been slain? I was under the impression that this was what you desired.

Naraku

True enough. It was only through her cooperation that I was able to create you, and Kanna. What emotions would rise on her face if I were to show her Inuyasha's head, I wonder?

Miroku

(thinking) How can that be?! Naraku's sacred Jewel fragment is nearly whole!

Naraku

You suggested earlier, that I do everything to avoid sullying my own hands. Even the mightiest are inferior to someone. A woman attempted to use me, so that I would murder Inuyasha for her.

Miroku

A woman? (realizes, with shock) You don't mean-?!

Naraku

(chuckles) She is some piece of work, that Kikyo.

Inuyasha

(thinking) Ki- Kikyo?! (groans in pain)

Shippo

Inuyasha- you're alive! Thank the heavens!

Naraku

Kikyo personally handed this Sacred Jewel shard to me, of her own free will.

Inuyasha

(thinking) Kikyo...

Kagura

(raises her fan) She wishes to gaze upon your face... after you're good and DEAD!

Miroku

Shippo, stay down!

Shippo

Miroku!

Kagura

Now, give me your head!

Shippo

That's Kagome's arrow! Kagome!

Kagura

(angrily) Her again?! You failed me, Kanna! Why did you not steal her soul?!

Naraku

(thinking, observing Kanna's mirror) Her soul is spilling out of the mirror. Does this girl really possess such an enormous soul?

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.

Shippo

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

Perhaps a little.

Kagome

A little isn't enough.

(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!

Shippo

So, Satsuki, don't you have any parents?

They passed away, years ago.

Shippo

Too bad.

It's okay, because I still have a big brother. He's gonna prove himself in the war and become a samurai; then, he's coming back for me!

Shippo

Huh? So, were those boys lying to you, before then? Your brother didn't die?

...He's gonna come back home. Even if he is dead, he'll come back to life.

Shippo

Uhh... [starts edging away, looking alarmed]

Here, I'll show you something I've never shown to anyone before! It's my treasure, and it can make any wish come true! [she holds up a small fragment of purple crystal] Isn't it pretty? It's a Shikon Jewel shard, a precious gem sought by demons!

Shippo

[thinking, shocked] It's the Sacred Jewel!

My brother would never lie to me.

Are you certain, Monk? Is my home indeed possessed by a demon?

Miroku

Yes, and we must exorcise it immediately. This is my duty as a man of the cloth; I expect no payment, Headman.

Absurd! You shall all be given a meal and a bed, tonight.

Inuyasha

Look at that guy- lying through his teeth again.

Kagome Higurashi

Shhh!

Hm? [he stops, and everyone bumps into him]

Inuyasha

What?!

Miroku

Shhh. [he indicates a thumping sound coming from the roof]

Kagome Higurashi

Earthquake?

Sango

...You mean there was a demon?

Kagome Higurashi

So, you didn't just make it up?

Inuyasha

Well, there's a first for everything.

Miroku

[turns around, irritably] Pardon me?!

Shippo

[running toward them] You guys! Kagome! [he jumps into her arms]

Kagome Higurashi

You found us! How did you know that we were here?

Shippo

[panting]...I figured, Miroku wouldn't waste any time exorcising the wealthiest-looking house in the village.

Shippo

Inuyasha, you mustn't show yourself!

Inuyasha

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.

Sango

I guess we have to go check this out.

Inuyasha

Sango?

Sango

Inuyasha, you're going to stay here with Kagome, okay? You want to keep your mortal state a secret, don't you?

Inuyasha

Huh! You gotta be kidding!

Sango

Oh, what are you doing?!

Shippo

What an idiot!

Inuyasha

Listen up, you two: if you tell a soul about this, I'll kill you both!

(weakly) ...Got it. We won't.

Kagome

Inuyasha!

Miroku

(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...

Inuyasha

(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!

Kagura

(sneering) Koga, you're a glutton for punishment, aren't you? How about surrendering? (she conjures another whirlwind above him)

Sango

Koga!

Kagome

Look out, Koga!

Kagura

(thinking) I've done it!

Inuyasha

(smirking) Kagura- it can't be much fun, killing a half-dead wolf, can it?

Kagura

Inuyasha?!

Inuyasha

(draws Tetsusaiga) I'll take you on from this point!

Kagura

(thinking) I know I saw it. For a moment... I saw Inuyasha.

Shippo

(to Kagome) D'you think that Kagura might've seen Inuyasha in his human state just now?

Kagome

(worried) Yeah- maybe.

Kagura

(thinking) I see- there was no moon last night. (smirks) So, Inuyasha- you lose all your powers on a moonless night?

Inuyasha

Huh! What if I do? I'm back, so who cares! (charges)

Kagura

You're right, it doesn't matter anymore. 'Cause you're gonna die, right this minute! Dance of the Dragon!

Inuyasha

Wind Scar!

Kagura

What happened?! How did he cut through my whirlwind?!

Kagome

Amazing!

Kagura

(thinking) He's going to get me!

Sango

All of Naraku's demons...

Miroku

They protected Kagura.

Inuyasha

(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?

Koga

(finds the Jewel shards Kagura took from him) Found 'em! My sacred Jewel shards!

Inuyasha

What?! Give 'em here!

Koga

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.

Koga

Oh, don't worry. I couldn't care less what shape that mutt Inuyasha takes.

Shippo

... Does that mean he won't tell?

Miroku

I think we can count on Koga. The problem is Kagura.
