I have erected a barrier. Those servants of yours may not enter. Without your souls of the dead, you remain helpless. [sits next to her bed] Kikyo... what can you be thinking? [flashes back to the previous episode] There at the mountain, where the magic was broken, were the demons who were to create my new body. Inuyasha stumbled onto the scene, lured by the miasma, and began to do battle with the one who would win. Then you appeared. Your arrows have the power to break whichever spell you choose. And yet, if you wanted to prevent that unholy fusion... you ought to have aimed straight for the demon. The demon would disintegrate, and the spell would be easily broken. But before the one became complete, were you trying to see what lay beyond?
And there you were. [opens her eyes] Your disguise is fine... Onigumo.
Huh. Onigumo? Now, that brings me back me back. Fifty years ago, you saved me, took pity on me and sheltered that fugitive in the cave. Onigumo offered his body to the demons, who latched onto his evil soul. And thus was born, Naraku. [withdraws a Shikon Jewel shard from his robe]
That's...
Yes, indeed. The very thing you gave your life to erase from this world. A shard of the Sacred Jewel.
They say that it was your desire to possess it that brought you to kill me.
Discussing it with one who is no more than a collection of dead souls, is unseemly. But the search for the remaining fragments, frustrates me.
That girl who is so like, and yet unlike you. A battle between those who can purify evil. If you yearn for this world, I beg you... Go after her.
