I see you're not entirely healed, Hakudoshi.
HHakudoshi
It's because of that arrow. That very same arrow broke my shield once before, you know.
Then Kikyo must be alive. Only she can imbue an arrow with so much spiritual power that it could do this.
HHakudoshi
You should go immediately and kill her.
Naraku (thinking): I cannot sense her presence. Perhaps she is trying to hide herself. That would suggest she has not fully recovered, then. I must now lure her out and destroy her.
[Thinking, as he watches the Zushi-Nezumi rats] Why let more loose? Kikyo has already come out of hiding!
HHakudoshi
[flashback] And don't close the doors.
[Thinking] Damn him, he's doing this for his own enjoyment! If I close these doors, the rats will stop. Even now, it may save some lives.
[thinking] I'm being watched. If I close the doors, Naraku will know that my memory has returned.
... Don't tell me you're behind this!
Kohaku... on my way here, I saw so many villages, devoured by rats. [clenching her jaw] How I wish... that you were not a part of this...
[clenching his jaw as well] I can't... disobey, my orders.
[tearful and angry] Kohaku!
HHakudoshi
Naraku, Kagura is a traitor. You're aware of that, aren't you? So, why do you let her live?
Look, Hakudoshi. This is Kagura's heart. I could squeeze the life out of her, right now, if I wanted to. But I won't. I still have use for Kagura.
She's the perfect bait, to lure Inuyasha and his friends, to me.
HHakudoshi
Well, that makes sense.
[closes his eyes] Hakudoshi... I have something I want you to do for me, as well.
HHakudoshi
(to Kagura, trapped inside his barrier) I'm surprised. I didn't think I could use you as a shield.
(to Inuyasha) We don't have much time, so listen up! Naraku's heart- the Infant- is inside Moryomaru!
Hakudoshi and the Infant intend to empower Moryomaru and have him overthrow Naraku!
HHakudoshi
An impressive deduction, Kagura. (flashback to Mount Hakurei) It was a grave mistake for Naraku to release his heart that day. He entrusted the Fuyoheki to the Infant to keep his heart safe, knowing it would conceal its' demonic aura. That gave the Infant an idea: to create a durable armor to protect himself. And that armor is Moryomaru, who swallowed the dead Goryomaru. (his body regenerates) It was at that point that we realized: Naraku without his heart is but an empty shell. The Infant and I are the real thing, and one day soon, we'll overthrow him.
Heh! Naraku has been aware of your plot from the very beginning, fool.
HHakudoshi
No doubt... but, if I were you, I'd be more concerned about my own fate right now. After all, we may both be traitors, but it is your heart that Naraku holds. It's hopeless for you. No matter what, you'll never be free.
(angrily) Shut up! (she slashes him in half again]
HHakudoshi
You can rip my body to pieces; I still won't die. Nobody can kill me... not even Naraku himself!
Right! (starts to remove the rosary from his right forearm)
You're using your Wind Tunnel?!
HHakudoshi
Hold on! Why aren't they protecting me?!
(smirks) Well, well- isn't this interesting. It looks like Naraku's given up on you.
HHakudoshi
Silence! I cannot be killed!
HHakudoshi
I'm not like you, Kagura! I cannot be used and then thrown away like that!
(opens the Wind Tunnel) Wind Tunnel!
HHakudoshi
I am... his essence!
