TV show quotes
Huh? Kikyo.
Inuyasha. Where am I?
Away from the village.
I see. So then, I take it my soul-collectors were unable to reach the village?
No.
What happened? To them?
The Band of Seven? They retreated, but they took Suikotsu with them.
I see. Kagome.
Yes?
You must have noticed- the Jewel fragment in Suikotsu's neck...
I did. I saw the pure Jewel shard become cloudy.
And then he went away, didn't he?
So, Big Brother- we are all back together at last.
Not all.
You see, the thing is-
Big Brother, the truth is Kyukotsu and Mukotsu were-
They were killed. Couldn't be helped.
(surprised) You knew already?
Now, Renkotsu-
Huh?
(tosses him a brush) you're the smart one- so, you can write.
Sure- but, write what?
(stands up) Let's see... "The time has come to settle old scores. Our vengeance will know no bounds, so prepare to die"... or something to that effect.
(excited) Do we get to kill people?!
Yeah. (looks at the castle on the mountain in front of them) Remember that castle?
Why- should we?
Yes. The inhabitants of that castle are the deceitful bastards who chopped our heads off.
Kagome...
Don't say I didn't warn you! I was telling the truth when I said that I couldn't predict where my Dragon-Thunder would fall! (pause) You lie there, little worm; I'll hack you and your sword to pieces!
Damn you! This is between us! Why couldn't you keep my friends OUT OF IT?!
Bastard!! You didn't have to get Kagome and the others involved!
Quit being so naive; it doesn't work for you! (he leaps back) You're dead!
How 'bout some variety?! This is gettin' old!
Come on! How many dirty little tricks are you gonna try to pull on me?!
Are you stupid?! In a match to the death, there's no such thing as fair or foul!
You're mine, now!
Saint Hakushin's altar ornament! I knew it!
(thinking) Huh? Saint Hakushin's ornament? The demonic aura around Tetsusaiga has been purified! (aloud) What's the meaning of this?!
Wait, Inuyasha! That Vajra was at the core of the sacred barrier around this island! It seems Saint Hakushin is an ally of Bankotsu!
I take it he wants me to finish you off quickly? I have to admit, it bothers me that he doesn't have faith in my ability! (he lunges at Inuyasha) It's too bad this has to end so soon for you all!
(turns around) You got him, Kagome!
(glares at Kagome) Well, girl... you'll regret that.
You're nothing but a coward! Huh?
She notices that her arrow has eaten away the flesh of Bankotsu's arm, leaving only bones]
His arm turned to bone!
(thinking) A Sacred arrow?! She must be Kagome, Kikyo's reincarnation!
What?!
Bankotsu is...
Disappearing!
Bankotsu, damn you! Don't you dare!
(thinking) A barrier?!
...He's gone.
Inuyasha! Are you all right?
I'm fine... but now what?
Bankotsu isn't our only problem. The Vajra seems to have disappeared as well.
Do you think it helped Bankotsu escape?
Yes, probably.
I don't understand! What happened to Saint Hakushin? He's gone! Where do you think he could've disappeared to?
Dammit! I feel terrible. I don't get it... what the Hell happened to me, anyway?! (pause) Where am I?
Bankotsu, sir.
Kohaku. Kanna. Where are we? It- it feels awful in here.
I imagine that it would, sir. This isn't a very nice place for men of evil thoughts.
Doesn't seem to bother you much. Figures, you being a ninja.
(impatiently) You're mistaken; I'm not a ninja.
(thinking) Now I remember; the light from the Vajra enveloped me!
Huh... who is that? (Kanna sets the Vajra before the mummy) I see. Inuyasha kept saying something or other about a Saint. This must be Saint Hakushin's mummy. He's responsible for creating the barriers around Mount Hakurei and Hijiri Island!
Bye! Shintaro, take good care of yourself and your sisters!
I'll pray for your good journey!
If, for some reason, you ever feel lonely, please don't hesitate to call on me! I'll come to your aid anytime, day or night, especially night- Aghh!
That's enough outta you, Miroku.
Ah! It's attached, you know!
I'm worried. The barrier is making Shippo so dizzy.
Hey, Miroku! Are you absolutely sure that Naraku is hiding in Mount Hakurei?
I'm not entirely certain, but I'm positive that Saint Hakushin is the one creating this barrier.
Well, it does make sense, because the Saint protected Bankotsu, one of Naraku's men.
I would've thought that a massive evil like Naraku wouldn't be able to enter a sacred place like that.
Once inside, though, there's no better place to hide. Think of those who hunt him: the wolf-demon, Koga. Sesshomaru. You, Inuyasha. And Kikyo... are all unable to go to Mount Hakurei.
Let's not waste any more time, Miroku.
Right.
Hmm?
What are you doing?
Miroku': We've decided that Sango and I will go survey Mount Hakurei.
Inuyasha and Kagome, you stay here.
Are you sure about this? The two of you are going there alone?
Watch over Kirara. I can't take her.
Yeah, sure Sango.
Don't you worry about a thing, Kagome. (groping a furious Sango's rear end as he speaks) From this point on, I won't have a spare moment to caress Sango's enticing body.
(whacks him over the head with Hiraikotsu) I'll show you enticing!
I'm not worried about that. Are you sure you want to do this? We don't even know what's at Mount Hakurei.
Inuyasha can't go in past the barrier, remember? It has to be the two of us.
Still...
Sango. Miroku. (they turn towards him) Just check around, but don't take any unnecessary risks, okay?
Rest assured, that's what we intend to do.
(nods)... We're off.
How 'bout here?! (he strikes the barrier and glances off) Dammit!
(to Ginta) what's with Koga? He never listens to anyone!
No... Once he makes up his mind, that's it!
There he is now! Koga! Wait up, would ya?!
You're slow, as usual. What took you two so long?
(panting) You've gotta be kidding!
(panting) It's not... that we're too slow... it's that... you're too... fast!
Hmm...
Whattaya say we call it quits, Koga?
We have been searching around the mountain for days, now, but there's no way to get past the barrier!
Besides, this place is giving me the creeps!
It can't be easy on you, hitting that barrier over and over again!
Come on, Koga! What do you say?
Let's just give up.
(angry) Shut your trap! The Band of Seven is definitely here... and I'm gonna bust through this barrier, out of pride!
Ge-heh-heh-heh-hesh...
(chuckles) Well, well, Ginkotsu. It seems they can't see us behind the barrier after all.
Ge-heh-heh-heh-hesh.
(thinking) This barrier is turning out to be very convenient. Hmmm... it's quite sickening, but why not take advantage of it? (aloud) All right, Ginkotsu. First, go for the legs. I want you to blow both his legs off.
Ge-heh-heh-hesh. (aims his cannons at Koga)
Come on, Koga, at least think about it!
I've had enough of you two quitters! The Band of Seven are hiding in there, so how 'bout this: I'm gonna find them and kill them all myself.
(mockingly) Oohh... we're scared.
I wonder how far this goes? There's no demonic aura, and nothing out of the ordinary here. Hmm...
We wouldn't have even thought to check this place out, if it wasn't for what happened on Hijiri Island.
We have to be careful to keep on our guard, Sango.
I agree...
Hm-mm... remember, keep on your guard. (grins)
(thinking) I can't believe this! Just one lecherous thought, and I feel sick to my stomach! The barrier of Mount Hakurei is strong indeed to have such an effect on me.
(glances back) What'd you stop for?
Ah! Never mind me. Just stumbled a bit.
Yeah, well, watch your step.
Looks like our search around the mountain wasn't in vain after all! I'm surprised you showed yourselves, though.
(chuckles) I suppose you would be. Would you like to know why we did so? Because of your Shikon Jewel shards!
(thinking) This is trouble. He got my legs on the first shot! I've gotta put an end to this, fast!
Koga, you okay?!
Stay back, you two!
Sure, okay!
Think he even stands a chance against that metal monster? That thing's deadly!
(Thinking) Those two are just like Kyukotsu, resurrected through the power of the Shikon shards! Now, if I can just take the jewels away...
(charges) I'll get you. You're goin' back to the grave!
(smirks) Pull back now, Ginkotsu.
Ghesh.
(stops) Huh?! What, you're takin' off?!
Heh! It's not what it looks like.
What?!
We're still going to destroy you, but from a safe distance.
Wha- they vanished!
He's done for! How can he defeat an enemy he can't even see?!
Koga, let's get out of here! We're sitting ducks!
(still dodging) I'm not goin' anywhere! (thinking) I knew what I was getting into, but now what? They're deadly... I have to find a way to lure them out of the barrier!
You sure fell for my plan! You're not goin' back behind the barrier now!
Heh. It's a little early to be congratulating yourself.
What do you mean?!
Well, you see, we have no need to escape from you, little man. You're the one who can't get away.
Hey, he's right!
And besides, how much harm could a wounded wolf do to us?
(flinches, thinking) He knows about my legs!
Finish him off, Ginkotsu.
Ghesh. (he starts to rotate in Koga's direction)
(charges) Right!
Fool.
I don't think so!! We'll see who the real fool is!!
(thinking) They have to be somewhere in his body!
(thinking) Damn him! He's after the shard in my neck!
(addressing his deceased comrades) Kyukotsu. Mukotsu. How does it feel, to be back in the other world again? (scoffs and smashes his sake cup against the headstone) That's ridiculous! Once you're dead, you're dead; that's the end of it. There's no such thing as an "afterlife".
(thinking) That man...
Woman, are you the one they call Kikyo?
And you are with the Band of Seven?
Wait!
What do you want of me?
Just curious; you're supposed to kill me, are you not?
(chuckles and turns) I don't know, Naraku never gave me any orders to do so. (he grins as he notices Kikyo has an arrow aimed at him) Ahh, I've heard the rumors about you. Still, I would never have guessed you'd be so beautiful. You wanna take me on, do you? Alright then, let's do it! I accept your challenge.
(thinking) His sacred Jewel shards emit a tainted black light... unlike Suikotsu's clear one. Does that mean he has been completely overtaken by the darkness?
What's stopping you? Come on, take the first shot.
I want to know what it is you're after. Why do you continue to kill, even after being resurrected?! What reason could you possibly have for doing so?
Now that's a strange question. I don't need any reason for killing people. I have always been this way, before my death and after being revived.
(lowers her bow) In the world we live in, it's sometimes necessary to kill in order to survive. But you died once, so why not stop your evil wrongdoings?
Hah! I'm a mercenary through and through... and what I do is thoroughly enjoyable. People talk about Heaven and Hell all the time, but once a mortal is dead, that's the end of it. I have no interest in the so-called other worlds. I do as I please, with no fear of the afterlife!
(scornfully) You say that to convince yourself, don't you? It's pathetic, trying to make excuses for your wicked actions.
(chuckles, shoulders Banryu) I know one thing, Kikyo: dead people like you and I will probably share the same fate. You should worry about yourself. Don't be so concerned about the choices I make. Well, it doesn't really matter. Let's just both enjoy the time we have here on Earth. (walks away)
... So, we share the fate of the dead, do we? Then I will see where it goes.
Ah! Lord Sesshomaru! (she runs to Sesshomaru)
Ugh- that dead priestess again! She scares me more than anyone.
...Lady Kikyo, it's you.
Huh? Doctor Suikotsu?
... At last... I have returned. The tainted, dark light blocked my way. I couldn't become myself.
(thinking) Did my sacred arrow purify the shard? What do I do with him now? Must I kill him?
... Lady Kikyo.
Hm?
Please remove the sacred Jewel shard from my neck. Do that for me. Then all will be over. I can rest in peace. (Kikyo frowns) My last wish... is to be released.
You're certain? Do you chose death?
I'm certain. I finally remember what happened: I died before, long ago in the past. When I was alive before, I was tormented by uncertainty. I didn't know what was right... and what was wrong.
I was a physician... who had sworn to save people's lives. And yet... I had killed someone with my own hands. Looking back, I was probably harder on myself than anyone else would have been. I couldn't forgive myself. I didn't know what to do. That's when it happened... when I heard the voice.
(flashback) Why don't you stop acting the part of a saint?! You really aren't interested in helping people! Deep inside, you want to kill! You're just itching to kill and kill!
Suddenly, it became clear to me: the person who was speaking was me, myself. A crater of evil lurked in my heart... and that evil made me kill over and over again. Not long afterward, I met Bankotsu and joined the Band of Seven... and murder became second nature to me. I've done some horrible things. My dark side has killed so many. And during it all... the doctor in me was helpless to stop the senseless brutality. No matter how many lives I saved, no matter how I tried to make a difference, my soul has no hope of being redeemed.
Doctor Suikotsu, you are not alone in your turmoil. Good and evil co-exist in all men who walk the earth. You must not give in to the dark side.
You're wrong... Lady Kikyo. I would likely do it all again, if I were able to. I couldn't stop myself. The mere thought of it is unbearable. (tearfully) Please, I beg of you, Lady Kikyo... remove the Jewel shard. Give me death, and release my tormented soul.
Doctor Suikotsu-
Please do this for me. I beg of you.
(catching it) I'll take this as a memento. [leaves]
Doctor Suikotsu!
(smiles) And so it ends... it's finally over.
(watching Kikyo, thinking) The priestess who bound Inuyasha to a tree. She's just like the others, reeking of bones and graveyard soil. Perhaps she was given a glimpse of her own fate.
