(after Sesshomaru has threatened him) Mother was right; I should've been a ferryman! (thinking) This is entirely Inuyasha's fault, for severing Lord Sesshomaru's arm!
[Flashback of Sesshomaru's previous battle with Inuyasha in the Graveyard]
(thinking) It is not the sword that severed his arm, that I direct my hatred toward; it is to the beast that wielded it, Inuyasha! By all rights, the Tetsusaiga belongs to Lord Sesshomaru, and we shall take it back from Inuyasha without fail!!
(glances at his empty sleeve)...Even if I am provided with another arm, it shall also be useless after a short period.
A vexing problem, is it not?
[Sesshomaru turns to see a humanoid demon dressed in a baboon-skin cloak and mask, kneeling before him. Jaken yelps and runs to hide behind Sesshomaru]
If I am not mistaken, you are the elder brother of Inuyasha. Lord Sesshomaru, are you not?
What do you want? Should I know you?
I am someone, who, like yourself, despises Inuyasha. Forgive me, but I happened to... overhear your conversation just now. (holds up a human arm) Perhaps I can be of assistance; might I suggest that you employ this arm?
Have you lost your senses?! Clearly, that is the arm of a human!
Yes... clearly, this arm belonged to a mortal, but embedded in it is a shard of the sacred Shikon Jewel.
The Shikon Jewel?
Should you choose to employ this arm, the Jewel shard will enable you to wield the Tetsusaiga, Inuyasha's fabled sword. The sword is known to work for the benefit of man; at present, a demon such as yourself would be unable to even touch the Tetsusaiga.
... You mentioned something about your despising Inuyasha? Tell me: do you intend to use me to exact your revenge?
Yes.
How dare you exploit my master-!
Hmm... sounds interesting. (Jaken stares at him, shocked) I shall accept the arm from you.
Master, please reconsider!
Oh... and one other thing. Take this hive. (holds out a wasp-hive) You shall be able to make good use of it... with certainty.
(takes the hive and inspects it)... I should know the name, of the one I make a pact with.
(smiles beneath his mask) My apologies. Call me... Naraku.
Very well, Naraku. You have yourself a deal.
