(as she purifies Kohaku's Shard) Ok- how's that feel?
Good. It feels a lot better.
I might not be able to purify it as well as Kikyo could.
... Kikyo's light.
Huh?
It happened when Naraku tried to take my Jewel Shard. I'm not sure why, but the minute his tentacles made contact, this pure light started flowing into it!
From Naraku's tentacles?
It almost felt...as though Lady Kikyo was purifying me!
(thinking) Does that mean Kikyo's power somehow entered Naraku- and remains there, even now?
(flashback) The light... will destroy Naraku.
The image Kanna showed me before she died- it was the Shikon Jewel! It was defiled, but in the center of it, there was a light! That must've been Kikyo's light!
(sits by her brother) And so...
Huh?
Kohaku, are you suggesting you'll be able to use your shard to defeat Naraku?
Well, I-
Naraku said he was going to take Kohaku's head! He said once he did that, he could slowly defile the shard!
Rin!
(defensively) Well, you almost died, Kohaku!
(to Sango) Don't listen to her! Look, Sister, it's clear that my Shard can cause Naraku pain! (Sango looks away) I know Lady Kikyo's power is protecting me! That's why-
Enough! (thumps him over the head) Stop your babbling!
Inuyasha!
Gimme a break; why do we have to keep tiptoeing around him? Sango, just tell it to him straight: it's a pain in the butt when he wanders off by himself, isn't it?!
Inuyasha...
Ugh! Sit, boy! (Inuyasha faceplants)
Why?!
It wasn't Kohaku's fault this time- Sesshomaru left them there alone, so it was just Kohaku and the little ones around when he was attacked!
(angrily) "The little ones?!" Who are you calling "little?!"
Well, your height, your heart, your personality... so many things about you are little! (Jaken bursts into tears)
No, it's just as Inuyasha says. This isn't the first time it's happened. (Kohaku looks away) Kohaku, you know you are weak of heart and strength; that is why Naraku can take advantage of you! If you fight alone, you don't stand a chance against him! At least tell me you understand that much.
... It's true. You're right.
I believe that Kikyo left her power in your shard, but I don't think she'd have wanted you to sacrifice it. I think she'd want you to treasure it and protect it, like the beautiful gift that it is.
Yes. You're right. (thinking) Lady Kikyo...
