I don't understand. What point is there in stealing your feeble power? I wonder what Naraku was hoping to accomplish...
Lady Hitomiko, I came to your shrine because I want to save you!
Oh, really? You propose to save me, do you? How absurd.
Kagome, do you think it was by chance that you were given the name "Kagome?"
Huh?
That name you bear holds a special power... a power hidden within you, since the day you were born.
I don't understand! Why is she telling me this?!
Heh... You are no more than a bird in a cage. You shall never leave. Never.
[struggles] Ugh! I... can't move! Huh? [she notices Naraku hanging upside down, in the shadows over Hitomiko's head] Naraku, stop hiding up there and show yourself! [she manages to notch an arrow to her bow] You're a coward!
[thinking] She can still move?
Now, I see. It is not you he is after; I'm supposed to steal the power that resides within that bow.
This bow? [thinking] The bow I received on Mount Azusa...
If I'm not mistaken, that bow was originally meant to be wielded by another... a person who would have been able to master the use of it.
[thinking] Kikyo!
You merely aim and release with it, unable to harness its' spiritual power, and yet you believe you can save me? Leave the bow here, and be on your way. Do so and your life will be spared, but take it with you and you shall die.
You'll spare her life, will you? Then you leave me no choice!
Show yourself, Naraku! [notches an arrow in her bow]
Do not... waste... your arrows.
Indeed. If you must shoot, aim here. [he conjures an image of a spider over Hitomiko's heart]
There's a spider in her chest!
Shoot the arrow through her chest. Once you do, Hitomiko will finally die, and you will be saved.
I won't do it! I won't take orders from you, Naraku!
Then you leave me no choice but to kill you.
