Shippo and Satsuki in “Unfinished Business”

Shippo

So, Satsuki, don't you have any parents?

They passed away, years ago.

Shippo

Too bad.

It's okay, because I still have a big brother. He's gonna prove himself in the war and become a samurai; then, he's coming back for me!

Shippo

Huh? So, were those boys lying to you, before then? Your brother didn't die?

...He's gonna come back home. Even if he is dead, he'll come back to life.

Shippo

Uhh... [starts edging away, looking alarmed]

Here, I'll show you something I've never shown to anyone before! It's my treasure, and it can make any wish come true! [she holds up a small fragment of purple crystal] Isn't it pretty? It's a Shikon Jewel shard, a precious gem sought by demons!

Shippo

[thinking, shocked] It's the Sacred Jewel!

My brother would never lie to me.
