Tell me. Do you still bear a grudge against Kikyo?
Kikyo, you say?
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
This is shikikami.
What is this? This girl, Kagome? She is your reincarnation, is she not, Kikyo?
Tsubaki, I see that you have placed a curse on Kagome. Your powers will useless on the girl.
Don't underestimate me. Kikyo, I have chanced since you last defeated me.
So I see. One glance tells me the entire account. Tsubaki, I know you sold your soul to a demon in exchange for youth.
Clever girl. For youth and beauty, though.
(Flashback of fifty years ago)
Ah. This youth and beauty. Some day I shall lose it. Is this the fate of all mortals? No. If I can take possession of the Sacred Jewel that Kikyo guards, then my beauty shall be eternal.
(Confronts Kikyo near the sakura trees)
YTYoung Tusbaki
Go, my shikigami!
(Kikyo redirects the snake right back at her with the defective properties of her longbow)
Damn you, Kikyo!
Now leave and I shall spare your life.
I wasn't able to take the Sacred Jewel from you. But I collaborated with a demon and hence forth gained eternal youth and beauty. Not to mention my own demon power.
How foolish.
You're one to talk. Tell me, how is it that you appear before me looking exactly as you did fifty years ago? Kikyo, you...you're dead. That body that you're inhabiting is neither mortal nor that of a demon. It's a counterfeit. Kikyo, you live off the essence of borrowed spirits, yet you dare to lecture me?
I only came to ascertain the cause of the demon aura. I care not what happens to you, Tsubaki.
Kikyo, what are you doing?
Silence! What did you just say!? Speak the truth! You attempted to have Kagome slay Inuyasha!!
Heh. What ails you? Some unpleasant memories, perhaps? You are correct. I drove Kagome to shoot the arrow. Ironic? It was the same way that you killed Inuyasha years ago.
(Kikyo walks to her and grabs her longtime rival by the hair)
Tsubaki, do as you please with Kagome. I have no intention of interfering. But if you ever lay more harm to Inuyasha, I will personally see to your demise.
You wench!! How dare you presume I would fear you!!
Be warned. Heed my words. It is no idle threat.
Are you...Are you me!? Watch yourself or you'll end up killing Inuyasha again!!
You wench! How are you still able to move!?
Well, I can!! Maybe you're not concentrating hard enough!!
Well, you've certainly managed to endure my spell. So it would seem you really are Kikyo's reincarnation, after all. Although if you actually were the real Kikyo that arrow certainly wouldn't have missed me, which means you are an imitation Kikyo!
You'll regret that!!
I am Kagome!! I'm not anyone else!!
(Having witnessed the whole scene, she walks away with disdain)
Humph.
You are foolish. Rushing to your death.
The Jewel is beginning to purify!
At least, I will be able to increase my powers immensely with a Sacred Jewel this large. I'll get revenge for this humiliation, Inuyasha and Kagome.
Was the dark priestess was Tsubaki? Fifty years ago there was a priestess by that name who was equal in status to Kikyo.
Why did she turn into an evil priestess?
That I do not know. Perhaps she merely shares the same name as one.
Just as I feared. It is the same woman after all.
What are you talking about!?
The priestess who was passed over for my sister Kikyo.
