Sesshomaru quotes from InuYasha

Sesshomaru

(watching Kikyo, thinking) The priestess who bound Inuyasha to a tree. She's just like the others, reeking of bones and graveyard soil. Perhaps she was given a glimpse of her own fate.

Sesshomaru

I see you no longer have the strength to put a barrier. It looks like that arrogance of yours will turn out to be your downfall. And so I shall deliver the finishing blow.

Sesshomaru

"Wasn't he sealed to a tree fifty years ago?"

Jaken

"But, Sire, the spell, they say it was removed recently. And the staff, it's been acting strange for days now. It's because of Inuyasha. I'm sure of it."

Inuyasha

"It is you. Sesshomaru!!"

Sesshomaru

"Indeed. I've quite missed you as well, little brother.

Kagome

"He called you his brother. Does that mean he...?

Sesshomaru

"A mortal. How interesting."

Kagome

"Yeah. What of it?"

Sesshomaru

"Others would be shamed. But with you, little brother, a girl quite suits you. These human creatures, I should think you had enough of them or is it a taste from Father?"

Inuyasha

"That's not all, is it? You couldn't have come here just to tell me that."

Sesshomaru

"No wonder searching for it beneath ground was useless. 'Seeing yet never seeing. Protected yet never known to its protector.' Our father's tomb hidden inside a black pearl deep within your eye."

Inuyasha

"And all for something like that!! You pretended she was my mother!!

Sesshomaru

"You're not amused?"

Inuyasha

"No, I'm not. You bastard!"

Inuyasha

"What entrusted!? What inheritance!? For all I care, he can keep the rusty piece of junk! What I do mind, though, is all the other stuff!! Good thing you're in a grave 'cause you're gonna die!!"

Sesshomaru

"Now, was that aimed at me?"

Sesshomaru

"When it comes to humans, I of course, bear no such weakness."

Kagome

"Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha

"Kagome!!"

Sesshomaru

"So fragile. Don't you agree, little Brother?"

Inuyasha

"Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru

"And just humans. Half-breeds, too."

Inuyasha

That was for Mother!! And this is for Kagome!!

Jaken

What's going on!? A moment ago, he couldn't hit at all!

Sesshomaru

"All that for a memory and a dead mortal girl? I knew that's what it took to make you fight, I'd have killed her sooner."

Inuyasha

"I'm gonna slit your stomach, take out your guts and put 'em in a bowl! By the time I'm through you're gonna wish it was who was dead."

Kagome

"I thought I was a goner. Hey you!! You tried to kill me didn't you!? Well, don't think you can get away with it, Mister!! Here. I think we underestimated it. Don't let me down."

Inuyasha

Hey, uh, how come you're still alive?"

Kagome

I don't know."

Sesshomaru

"The sword. That's what protected you."

"It's true. Those claws of his turned deadly poison. It had to be the sword or she really would have died."

Jaken

(after Sesshomaru has threatened him) Mother was right; I should've been a ferryman! (thinking) This is entirely Inuyasha's fault, for severing Lord Sesshomaru's arm!

Jaken

(thinking) It is not the sword that severed his arm, that I direct my hatred toward; it is to the beast that wielded it, Inuyasha! By all rights, the Tetsusaiga belongs to Lord Sesshomaru, and we shall take it back from Inuyasha without fail!!

Sesshomaru

(glances at his empty sleeve)...Even if I am provided with another arm, it shall also be useless after a short period.

A vexing problem, is it not?

If I am not mistaken, you are the elder brother of Inuyasha. Lord Sesshomaru, are you not?

Sesshomaru

What do you want? Should I know you?

I am someone, who, like yourself, despises Inuyasha. Forgive me, but I happened to... overhear your conversation just now. (holds up a human arm) Perhaps I can be of assistance; might I suggest that you employ this arm?

Jaken

Have you lost your senses?! Clearly, that is the arm of a human!

Yes... clearly, this arm belonged to a mortal, but embedded in it is a shard of the sacred Shikon Jewel.

Jaken

The Shikon Jewel?

Should you choose to employ this arm, the Jewel shard will enable you to wield the Tetsusaiga, Inuyasha's fabled sword. The sword is known to work for the benefit of man; at present, a demon such as yourself would be unable to even touch the Tetsusaiga.

Sesshomaru

... You mentioned something about your despising Inuyasha? Tell me: do you intend to use me to exact your revenge?

Yes.

Jaken

How dare you exploit my master-!

Sesshomaru

Hmm... sounds interesting. (Jaken stares at him, shocked) I shall accept the arm from you.

Jaken

Master, please reconsider!

Oh... and one other thing. Take this hive. (holds out a wasp-hive) You shall be able to make good use of it... with certainty.

Sesshomaru

(takes the hive and inspects it)... I should know the name, of the one I make a pact with.

(smiles beneath his mask) My apologies. Call me... Naraku.

Sesshomaru

Very well, Naraku. You have yourself a deal.

Inuyasha

I've figured you out, Sesshomaru. Because you're a demon, you shouldn't even be able to grasp the Tetsusaiga. That left arm of yours must belong to a human. You're using a shard of the Shikon Jewel to connect the arm to your body! If I can lop off that arm, you'll no longer have what it takes to hold on to the Tetsusaiga! :(charges) And that's not all: when you lose that arm, I'll have myself yet another shard of the Jewel!

Sesshomaru

(charges, smirking) Let's see you try to take this arm away from me.

Inuyasha

(launches another attack) Iron Reaver-!

Shippo

(jumping up and down) You did it! You got through his armor!

Kagome

I was trying to hit the Jewel in his arm. (aims another arrow)

Inuyasha

(stands up) Kagome!

Sesshomaru

Inuyasha, make her stop. Half demon though you are, the blood of a demon runs deep inside you. Be proud of that. Do not accept human aid, even in death.

Inuyasha

Don't try anything, Kagome! Sesshomaru is totally ruthless!

Kagome

I can handle it! I'll hit him! (she fires, but Sesshomaru catches her arrow and dissolves it with his poison claws) What?! It melted in his hand!

Sesshomaru

(angrily, as Tetsusaiga re-activates) You've had your warning. Now I shall put an end to your interference!! (swings Tetsusaiga)

Sesshomaru

(mockingly, as he withdraws his arm) Any last words before your tragic demise?

Inuyasha

(smiles weakly) Your ignorance surprises me... I really thought you would've noticed it by now!

Sesshomaru

Noticed what?

Inuyasha

That the sword is back in MY hands!

Jaken

Master! Without the human arm, you're unable to hold onto the Tetsusaiga!

Kagome

He's weakening!

Jaken

(stepping towards Inuyasha) Lord Sesshomaru, it seems Inuyasha has finally lost consciousness-

Sesshomaru

Do not approach any closer.

Jaken

Huh?

Jaken

AAAAH! (runs back) Wh-what happened?! The sword attacked of its' own accord!

Sesshomaru

(thinking) He holds power over it, despite being unconscious. If I make a move for it... he will strike me down. (turns away) We shall leave, Jaken. The Tetsusaiga is presently beyond my reach, so there's no sense in staying.

Jaken

I won't argue with your decision. After you, Master!

Miroku

They must have given up!

Shippo

That's a lucky break.

Kagome

(runs forward) Inuyasha!

Inuyasha

(thinking) Kagome... You're all right.

Naraku

(receiving his retrieved Shikon shard from his wasps) What a pitiful soul; I see he failed. Eh? (he notices Sesshomaru standing right behind him and jumps back hastily) Lord Sesshomaru! What a pleasant surprise.

Jaken

(enraged) Naraku! You gave that miserable human arm to Sesshomaru in the hopes that it would destroy him!

Naraku

You are mistaken. I merely wished to assist him... and, of course, to have my Jewel shard returned to me.

Sesshomaru

I suppose that makes sense.

Jaken

Serves you right, for putting my master in such jeopardy!

Sesshomaru

So, he escaped.

Jaken

Huh? (inspects Naraku's empty baboon cloak) Wh-where did he go?

Naraku

(unseen) Lord Sesshomaru, I implore you to contain your anger. I may call upon you again... should another opportunity arise to destroy Inuyasha.

Sesshomaru

Inuyasha, why have you conspired with Totosai to plot against me?

Because you happen to be evil incarnate!

Sesshomaru

Totosai, it seems you're looking for an early retirement into your grave.

I never said I was talking about you, Sesshomaru!

Sesshomaru

So you absolutely refuse?

Be quiet, you ungrateful mongrel! You know as well as I do, I already made you an excellent sword! The famous sword that you now wear- the Tenseiga. I also forged from a fang given to me by your father. He clearly instructed the eldest brother should have the Tenseiga, and the youngest brother would have the Tetsusaiga! That was your father's last wish. It is a great sword of swords. No greater and no better than the Testsuaiga! You should learn to respect and love it!

Kagome

So that old man also made Sesshomaru's sword?

Miroku

Though, come to think of it, I never seen Sesshomaru unsheathe his sword in any of the battles yet. Have you?

Kagome

No. You're right.
