(Flashback to half a century ago)
Sister, who is that priestess?
Her name is Tsubaki.
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
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.
Wait! This place could be dangerous.
What do you know about this place?
Legend tells of an ogre who was sealed away in this region.
An ogre?
Look, the Sacred Jewel is inside Tsubaki's right eye.
In her eye?
I never imagined it would be this powerful. If only the Sacred Jewel had come in my possession fifty years ago.
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!
Silence!!
What is that, Kikyo?
It is known as the Sacred Jewel of Four Souls. I have been entrusted with the duty of keeping it pure.
Kikyo (thinking): Tsubaki was entirely obsessed with the Sacred Jewel, so she was doomed to failure. Obsessed, just as I am obsessed.
[Kagura walks through Naraku's castle]
Ughh. The air in this castle is so stifling. (glances at the skeletons lining the halls) All the vassals who were at this castle were exposed to Naraku's toxic miasma and died.
(irritably) Why are you sneaking up from behind like that, Kanna?! Huh?
[She sees Koga reflected in Kanna's mirror]
(thinking) Him, again; Koga, the leader of the Wolf-demon tribe. Is he near this castle? Is it a coincidence, or perhaps... (kneels in front of Kanna) Kanna, tell me: does Naraku know about this?
He doesn't... He's gone.
Mm. (thinking) That's right, Naraku disappears once in a while.
Kagura...?
(stands) I'll go and kill him. There's no need to wait for Naraku's orders.
You'd better not, Kagura.
Hmph! I despise Naraku's method of stooping to trickery! I'll kill for Jewel Shards; I need no schemes.
It's in Naraku's hands. Both life... and death. (Kagura scowls at her) We are all merely Naraku's tools.
(walks away) I could care less. He's not here now.
Hello. It's been too long, Koga.
Not you again!
What's with those skeletons?
They're the guards of the castle; they're countless in numbers.
Wind Sorceress Kagura, I haven't forgotten your despicable face, not for one minute! How could I: you're the one that killed my comrades! (charges) Prepare to die; it's payback time for all you did!
(sarcastically) I missed you, too. I was so close to getting your sacred Jewel Shards before; I'll get them this time for sure! (thinking) It'll be easy to slow him down; I'll make him dance for me. Dance of the Dead!
More tricks!
Dance of Blades! (she fires her Dance of Blades at him)
Not this time! (he dodges through it and lunges towards her) Surprise!
Got her! Huh?
(leaping above him) Fool! I'll cripple you! (closes her fan and points it at him) DANCE OF THE DRAGON!
Inuyasha, you mustn't show yourself!
You don't need to worry about that. There's no way that I'm gonna help Koga. (thinking) If Kagura's shown up, that means Naraku's castle is nearby! Still, Naraku had put up a barrier, to stop us getting close. I don't like the looks of this.
I guess we have to go check this out.
Sango?
Inuyasha, you're going to stay here with Kagome, okay? You want to keep your mortal state a secret, don't you?
Huh! You gotta be kidding!
Oh, what are you doing?!
What an idiot!
Listen up, you two: if you tell a soul about this, I'll kill you both!
(weakly) ...Got it. We won't.
Inuyasha!
(dryly) Well, he shut them up real good. So, shall we go?
... His scent is in the air.
(sniffs) You're right! It's the scent of that Naraku fellow who was so rude to you, Lord Sesshomaru! Is he... nearby? (a huge gust of wind blows around them) What's going on?!
Yo.
Yo yourself!
Sesshomaru, I assume you came here following Naraku's scent as well?
Lord Sesshomaru, this wench is Naraku's incarnation!
Wind Sorceress Kagura, I recall.
So, you remember me. I am very flattered. (Sesshomaru reaches for Tokijin) Take your hand from your sword. I didn't come to fight, Sesshomaru. I have a proposition you might be interested in.
Proposition?
(holds out the Shikon shards she stole from Koga) You know what these are, Sesshomaru. I'll give you these sacred Jewel shards. In return, I want you to... kill Naraku.
WHAAAT?!
Free me. Release me from his grasp.
(thinking) Day is breaking! Inuyasha is going to return to his half-demon state! But, if he's seen before that...
(thinking, as he runs toward Kagura) Kagome, Miroku, Sango- you're all mere mortals, yet you fight so hard! All because you believed in your own power. I can't hold back, knowing that!
(sneering) Koga, you're a glutton for punishment, aren't you? How about surrendering? (she conjures another whirlwind above him)
Koga!
Look out, Koga!
(thinking) I've done it!
(smirking) Kagura- it can't be much fun, killing a half-dead wolf, can it?
Inuyasha?!
(draws Tetsusaiga) I'll take you on from this point!
(thinking) I know I saw it. For a moment... I saw Inuyasha.
(to Kagome) D'you think that Kagura might've seen Inuyasha in his human state just now?
(worried) Yeah- maybe.
(thinking) I see- there was no moon last night. (smirks) So, Inuyasha- you lose all your powers on a moonless night?
Huh! What if I do? I'm back, so who cares! (charges)
You're right, it doesn't matter anymore. 'Cause you're gonna die, right this minute! Dance of the Dragon!
Wind Scar!
What happened?! How did he cut through my whirlwind?!
Amazing!
(thinking) He's going to get me!
All of Naraku's demons...
They protected Kagura.
(sheathes Tetsusaiga) Rgh! Kagura- she escaped again! Hey, ya puny wolf! Hope you learned your lesson: never interfere in my fight with Naraku! (he notices Koga is not paying attention) Huh?
(finds the Jewel shards Kagura took from him) Found 'em! My sacred Jewel shards!
What?! Give 'em here!
No way I'm doin' that! Remember this, mangy mutt: I've sworn to avenge my comrades' deaths! I'll be the one to take Naraku's head, not you! Don't forget that! (starts to leave)
Wait, Koga! (he stops) What you saw last night... I mean about Inuyasha. Please, don't tell.
Oh, don't worry. I couldn't care less what shape that mutt Inuyasha takes.
... Does that mean he won't tell?
I think we can count on Koga. The problem is Kagura.
(thinking) Naraku knows nothing of my treachery. That's why he used demons to save me.
(thinking) Kanna... where is she going?
(thinking) Another room, beneath the cellar? Ugh!
(coldly) Kagura... did you enjoy yourself, outside?
These demons... Naraku builds his body with these demons? He's a half-demon, just like Inuyasha!
Kagura... while I slept, you left the castle. Don't try to deny it.
Kagura... you are still a part of me. Would you like to return to my flesh again?
(desperately) No! Please, wait... I- I promise I won't do it again!
... This will be your last chance.
(thinking) I cannot escape from Naraku on my own! Inuyasha... I'll let you live a while longer. You're my precious trump card.
MMuso
I've remembered everything, including how Kikyo died back then!
Damn it! You're the who injured her, you bastard!!
MMuso
That's ridiculous! Why do you think I took heed of the the demons that I summoned? I wanted possession of the Sacred Jewel, and a healthy body, so that I could steal Kikyo away, and leave this cave. But when I got my new body, nothing went as I've planned. The very first thing I did when I left the came was cut down the very woman I sold my body and soul for. Kikyo followed him, that half-demon Inuyasha, straight into he very demise. Kikyo perished and the Sacred Jewel was burned along with her corpse.
Naraku.
I came here, to see you in person.
What do you want?
I needed to test my new power.
I've told you before: A half-demon who harbors Onigumo's heart, has absolutely no power to kill me.
You speak the truth, Kikyo. Indeed, if I still had Onigumo's heart, I wouldn't be able to lay a hand on you, now would I? Even though your body is mere artifice.
You wretch.
I knew you weren't real, and yet I was still unable to reach out and strike you. [He suddenly grabs her by the throat] You- A woman made of nothing but clay and bones.
What's wrong, Naraku? Weren't you here to kill me?
Don't sound so self-assured. It was not out of fear that I decided to spare you. Consider yourself lucky. I will not kill you... I will break you.
Onigumo- or shall I say Muso?- imagine meeting here like this, face to face.
MMuso
You. I know you. Are you Naraku?
Did you enjoy the outside world after fifty years absence?
MMuso
Fifty years? Is that what you said?
Muso, I demand that you return to me.
MMuso
You must be joking!
The thought repulses me as well. But you were released too early, I'm afraid. And that is why you must come back to me now.
MMuso
Too early? How dare you say that after keeping me locked up for fifty years!!
It couldn't have seemed but a second to you.
MMuso
I remember what happened now! You're the one who killed Kikyo fifty years ago!
And in your twisted greed, you summoned the demons right to your side. Those same demons which devoured your flesh wished to kill Kikyo.
MMuso
It was you're desire, not theirs!
I was not the one to blame. I am Naraku and you should know that by now.
MMuso
I heard enough!! The only thing I desired was to make Kikyo my woman! Dammit!
Kikyo has been resurrected. She looks exactly as she did before.
MMuso
She's back?
Yes, although she's not exactly the same as before.
MMuso
Kikyo is alive?
Want her?
MMuso
Where is she!? Where is Kikyo!?
I'm afraid I cannot grant your wish. Return to me.
MMuso
I'll never go back to you!! This time I will make Kikyo my woman!
I don't think so.
MMuso
Persistent, bastard!! Go away and leave me alone now!!
Not this time.
