[staring at the Sacred Tree] Over fifty years...
What's that? What are you thinking, Inuyasha?
I was thinking, we really haven't changed much considering fifty years have passed.
Don't talk nonsense! I've changed a lot... since that time, long ago, when I sealed you to this tree we're under.
It was because of Naraku's deceptions that we hated each other. So much that you trapped me here, for fifty years. And then you died. Kikyo, be honest: have I changed? [pause] Before I knew of Naraku's existence, there was no doubt that I burned with resentment over what you'd done to me. But then you told me, that my life was yours. And... yours is mine.
[starts, then covers it with a chuckle] It seems you're not so different from Naraku, after all.
You're saying... I'm the same as Naraku?!
Deep within Naraku, Onigumo's heart beats, and still yearns for my touch.
Onigumo's heart?
He desired me. And having me kill you, with my own two hands... was something that he dreamed about. It was something that the jealous heart of Onigumo schemed for.
He was jealous? Over something so ridiculous?
Yes. Ridiculous. But, that's... what mortals are.
[thinking] Onigumo's heart remains inside Naraku! [aloud] Wait, Kikyo: does Naraku have feelings for you too, now?
He is reluctant to admit it... but I am certain that he has a lingering desire for me. And in an effort to ease that feeling, he's trying to get rid of me.
