[examining the Bone-Eater's Well] It looks like an ordinary old well. Yet, this passage connects to Kagome's world?
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!
Everybody's takin' a shot at me today, I can feel it! My ears are burning.
KaedeInuyasha, stupid is as stupid does. Ye need to learn, to be more careful with your speech.
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.
That was her idea!! I didn't tell her to! She said "I'm going home, stupid!!"
Kaede
[gives him a look]...Inuyasha.
Kaede
That imitation was pathetic.
I'm a demon, not a comedian!
Kaede
Inuyasha, are ye really sure ye want to go through with this?
Oh, come on, Kaede. Do I have to hear it from you, too?
Kaede
Remember that the Kikyo ye speak of now, is conjured up from earth and bones. Ye wish to be with someone, who's not of this world!
[thinking] Her body may be different, but her spirit still remains.
Kaede
Do ye fully appreciate the implications?! The two of ye can never be together, in this world. Deep down, what this resurrected Kikyo wants is for both of ye to die together.
That's fine. I am prepared to leap into Hell with Kikyo, if that is her wish. [thinking] If that's to be our destiny, I'd embrace it without a second thought.
Kaede
I never imagined she would turn to the dark side.
Who cares what happened in the past!? I wanna know where she is now! What's the matter, Kagome?
Deep inside, I sense the Sacred Jewel.
Kaede
Wait! This place could be dangerous.
What do you know about this place?
Kaede
Legend tells of an ogre who was sealed away in this region.
Look, the Sacred Jewel is inside Tsubaki's right eye.
I never imagined it would be this powerful. If only the Sacred Jewel had come in my possession fifty years ago.
Kaede
Fifty years ago? Tsubaki, what happened between you and my elder sister Kikyo?
Kikyo!? You know of her!? It's all Kikyo's fault! Kikyo, that cold and heartless priestess!
Nobody is going to smear her name!
Kaede
Say no more Inuyasha. My sister Kikyo was forced to return to this world of the living. While here her soul only suffered and so...
I was unable to save Kikyo's soul. She was killed for a second time by that bastard Naraku.
Kaede
Sister Kikyo's spirit has faded now. She will no longer have to suffer.
Kaede
So, Inuyasha, you need not suffer, either. Yes, my dear sister is gone. But I wish her remains could be returned to her proper resting place.
You've improved considerably.
Young Kaede
Thanks.
Next is the Arrow of Sealing.
Young Kaede
Arrow of Sealing?
That was the Arrow of Sealing. We use it for demons who are utterly invincible. I warn you, though, beware of this tree.
Young Kaede
The Sacred Tree?
If you seal demon onto this tree, the demon's body will remain perfectly intact. They will only awaken when the one who shot the arrow desperately wishes for the demon to revive.
Forgive me. I mustn't be very good company.
(glances at her) Sango...
You don't have to stay with me, go have fun. Just- as long as it's not with another woman.
Listen, we'll get through this together. I'm staying here with you- I can't even fathom leaving you alone to go indulge myself.
(smiles) You're so kind- my good monk.
Oh, I thought maybe you were Shippo in disguise, but- it's really you. (smiles and leans against his shoulder) I'm glad.
(walking up behind them with Kaede, outraged) I don't believe it- she doesn't trust me?!
Kaede
No, no, 'tis the monk she does not trust, Shippo.
Perhaps, but that's not what's troubling Sango. While their objectives may differ, we know that both Naraku and Midoriko are attempting to complete the Shikon Jewel. According to Inuyasha:
(flashback) When Naraku obtains the completed Shikon Jewel, it will instantly be defiled by his touch. In that instant, we must purify Naraku- along with the Jewel. He cannot be defeated with a sword.
That is what Kikyo said to Inuyasha.
Kaede
I see. But, of course, in order to complete the Shikon Jewel, Kohaku's life would have to be sacrificed.
(looks away, sadly) And that's also what Kohaku wants.
And... what of you, Sango? Is it also your wish that Kohaku be sacrificed?
(shakes her head) I don't know.
Kaede
Ye do not wish him dead- 'tis written all over your face, my child.
Kaede
It may be a little early, yet, to give up on your brother.
Indeed, it is. If Naraku seeks to complete the Shikon Jewel, then we must simply find a way to defeat him before that happens. Am I right?
Sango, regardless of what we decide to do, we must remain united. If you want him to live, say so.
