Inuyasha and Kikyo in “Unfinished Business”

Inuyasha

It's Kikyo.

Kikyo

Inuyasha.

Inuyasha

How are you feeling, Kikyo? Are you all right now?

Kikyo

I'm sure you heard what happened. Naraku's miasma was consuming my body until it was purified by Kagome.

Inuyasha

Yeah, I heard. (thinking) Kikyo. She looks like she's still in pain. She's not completely healed yet.

Kikyo

Inuyasha, you must have noticed this yourself. The barrier around the nest has vanished.

Inuyasha

I get it. No wonder I could smell those birds.

Kikyo

Inuyasha, what do think Naraku's trying to accomplish?

Inuyasha

He's trying to find a into the border between this world and afterlife in order to get the last Sacred Jewel shard.

Kikyo

So that's why he used the birds to gather human blood. If that's the case, the path to the Netherworld will soon open and Naraku will get the Jewel.
