Kikyo and Kagome in “Unfinished Business”

Kikyo

Inuyasha has come. I fear he has not come to save you. His purpose lies in seeing me. You will not interfere.

Kagome

Interfere!? Are you still planning to destroy Inuyasha!? He's not your enemy! Someone pitted you against each other on purpose! Inuyasha would have never taken your life, Kikyo.

Kikyo

From your competence, you expect me to be rejoicing.

Kagome

Huh?

Kagome

I guess not.

Kikyo

The dead have but one wish: to walk among the living once more. A wish that will never be realized. However, this dead woman can wish for one thing. I wish for a heart, the heart of the man whom I shall never allow to forget me. That is my desire.

Kagome

You'll never allow him to forget about you? You mean Inuyasha?

Kikyo

It is clear Inuyasha wishes for my death. That is a good thing because it means he feels remorse for dispute. Let him feel remorseful. I shall never allow him to forget about me. Time will not advance. Thus allowing me to exist in a dimension where time is frozen. I can live on inside his heart during my frozen recreation.

Kagome

You're always on Inuyasha's mind. Why can't you be satisfied with that? He hasn't forgotten you after all these years! He thinks of you all the time. Isn't that good enough?

Kikyo

When Inuyasha and I parted, we despised one another. The love you speak of is but a shallow emotion. Nothing can fuel the desire for enacting vengeance. Only bitterness can.
