Kaede quotes from InuYasha

Kaede

"Hear me, Inuyasha. Kagome is really Kikyo reborn, yet that will aid ye but little if she knows not her own power. Help her, Inuyasha, to find herself. Ye must both work together. Ye need Kagome, Inuyasha, and Kagome ye need him. Forget ye differences for now and be as one."

Kaede

This is shikikami.

Kikyo

Inuyasha!!

Inuyasha

"Kikyo. How could...? I thought we..."

Young Kaede

Big Sister!

Lady, Kikyo, that wound...

Young Kaede

You're hurt really badly.

Kikyo

I forgot who I...and now she what...All for this: the Sacred Jewel.

Young Kaede

You're in pain. Let someone...

Kikyo

I won't feel it much longer. And so I give this to you. The Shikon no Tama which you must burn with my body. It must not fall into the hands of those who would abuse it.

Young Kaede

Kikyo!! Sister Kikyo!!

Kikyo

I shall take it with me, to the other world.

Kagome

"We really aren't in Tokyo, anymore, are we?"

Kaede

"Tokyo. Never heard of it. Is that were your people are from?"

Kagome

"Uh, yes. "

Inuyasha

"What about you? Are you ready to die yet?"

Kagome

"I...I don't know. But given the choice, I choose to LIVE!!"

Kaede

"It's gone! My sister's spell has vanished!!"

Kagome

"Huh?"

Kaede

"Only ye many possess the Sacred Jewel."

Inuyasha

"That's right. Human's use it, so why bother to keep it? If you hand it over, I won't have to waste time sharpening my claws on you."

Kagome

What!? (thinking) What!? You mean, he's not the hero?

Kaede

"Pay no heed to Inuyasha, Child."

Inuyasha

"I hate having to wait. And I hate the smell of you. Want me to scratch you back?"

Kagome

You really tried to hit me just now, didn't you?"

Shoot him!!"

Inuyasha

"Who do you people think I am!!? You think you can hurt me like I did that centipede!!?"

"Lady Kaede, he thinks that we might have thatched the centipede."

Kaede

"Somehow, I knew it would eventually come to this."

Kaede

"Quickly, Child. The word of subjugation."

Kagome

"Huh? What word?"

Kaede

"It matters not. Your word has power to hold his spirit."

Inuyasha

"Ha! How can you overpower me when you can't sit up!!"

Inuyasha

What the heck is this thing!?"

Kaede

"I'm sorry, Inuyashu, but ye do lack the power to remove it."

Inuyasha

"We'll see about that!! I'd come there and finish you off, if you didn't look half dead already!!"

Kaede

"The word please."

Kagome

"Sit, boy."

Kaede

"Well, shall we head home?"

Kagome

"That was easy. Wish I said it earlier."

Kagome

"I notice you're rebuilding the houses wrecked by Mistress Centipede. What a pain."

Kaede

"Pain, yes, and just beginning. Now that the sacred Shikon no Tama is back among us, far worse than Mistress Centipede will come to claim it."

Kagome

Worse than yesterday?"

Kaede

"And not just demons. There are humans whose hearts are more evil still. And only the Jewel has the power to make real their petty, grasping ambitions."

Kagome

"Speaking of petty, what are you still doing here?"

Inuyasha

"I'm waitin' for the Jewel."

Kaede

"With the beads around his neck, his threat is diminished. It is perhaps the only we can allow him so close to the Jewel."

Kagome

"Why do you want the Jewel, anyway? It seems to me your pretty strong enough as it is. What powers can the Jewel give you you don't already have?"

Kaede

Ah, but he's just half demon."

Inuyasha

"You know what? I'm sick of hearing some dried up witch I just met talk like she knows me!"

Kaede

"So ye don't remember. I thought as much. I'm younger sister to Kikyo; she who bound ye to the tree. Kaede."

Inuyasha

"You're Kaede? So you're the brat, huh."

Kaede

"Fifty years have passed, and I have grown old."

Inuyasha

"And if you're this old, Kikyo must be pushin' a hundred. I'm sure I'm glad I don't have to worry about getting old. Least, not for awhile."

Kaede

"Kikyo didn't worry, either. Kikyo died. It was on the same day she shot ye with the arrow."

Inuyasha

"Gee, sorry to hear it. Not like I really care or anything. One less thing for me to worry about."

Kaede

"I wouldn't let my guard down just yet, Inuyasha. I now know that Kagome is the reincarnation of my sister."

Kagome

"Huh?"

Kaede

"And it isn't just because ye resemble her. The Jewel of Four Souls was in your body. That alone is proof enough. It's up to ye now, Child, to take over its protection."

Kaede

"Kagome? Kagome!!?"

"We looked everywhere but she's not here."

Kaede

"Could it be she's gone off on her own? We spoke of those who seek the Sacred Jewel, yet we spoke not nearly enough."

"Lady Kaede, those lights."

Kaede

"Oh my. And I like not the looks of it."

Inuyasha

"What did you do to it!?"

Kaede

"Stop barking, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha

"Leave it to her to wind up breaking it!!"

Kaede

"Technically, it wasn't Kagome who broke it. But the crow's foot she attached to her arrow that actually caused it. As ye saw, the Jewel has been shattered into many different shards. One hundred, one thousand. Who's knows? All it would take but one, in the wrong hands, to bring disaster."

Kagome

"I'm so sorry. I had no idea." (thinking) It's all my fault.

Kaede

"Kagome, Inuyasha, only by working together will the two of ye be able to recover the shards of the Jewel."

Kagome

"Huh?"

Inuyasha

"You won't catch me complaining. I'm one of the wrong hands you were talking about."

Kaede

Oh, aye, that I know too well."

Kaede

"Ye all right, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha

"Aw man. I forgot about this stupid necklace of yours."

Kagome

"It serves you right for spying on me, you peeping tom!!"

Inuyasha

"Shows what you know! The reason I really came was-"

Kaede

"Ye really came to seal this fragment, correct?"

Inuyasha

"Think you're pretty smart, you old hag."

Kaede

"I see. Ye think to do it alone, do ye? Ye forget only yon girl can find those fragments while only ye, Inuyasha, has strength enough to take them back once found."

Inuyasha

"In case you hadn't noticed, I'm still here, ain't I!!? I can put up with anything for the Jewel!!"

Kagome

"You really do hate me, don't you?"

Kaede

And what ails ye now, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha

"What do ya mean someone's trying to find my dad's tomb?"

Kaede

"Inuyasha, they say your father was a mighty demon, that the western lands were his domain."

Inuyasha

"Can't say that I remember."

"Your father was a demon-of-demons. His blood was specially delicious and you, Master Inuyasha, have inherited that from him."

Kagome

"Wow. And what about his mom?"

"She was beauty beyond compare. A true-"

Kagome

"Hey that wasn't very nice."

Inuyasha

Just drop it, okay!? She died along time ago."

Kagome

"Did something I say make him upset? I'm sorry. All I did was ask him about his mother.

"Yes. Master Inuyasha has always preferred not to speak of her."

"My theory is that Kagome is mortal. Remember, Tetsusaiga was forged for Inuyasha's father as a way to protect his mortal mother. It was his feelings towards humans that allowed Inuyasha to wield it effectively."

Kagome

"That's right. That's when the sword reacted."

"For someone like Sesshomaru, who could only hate humans, wielding Tetsusaiga was impossible."

Kaede

"That is why his father choose him for his resting place. Perhaps the one who most resembles the father is not Sesshomaru but Inuyasha."
