(laughs coldly as his body reassembles) The power of darkness feeds off the monk and Sango's sorrow!
Damn you, Naraku!
Ironic, isn't it? the stronger their love is for each other, the greater their despair. The monk and Sango will soon be no more; they have chosen to die together. Even now, they wait for his Wind Tunnel to swallow them both. Do you understand, Inuyasha? The two of them will soon be consumed by the darkness of the Shikon Jewel!
(draws Tetsusaiga) I'm not gonna let that happen, Naraku! I'll defeat you here and now, and lift the curse of the Wind Tunnel for good! (Tetsusaiga's blade turns black) Meido Zangetsuha!
(to herself) Naraku is joining with the Shikon Jewel!
(shocked) He's not being sucked into it!
Is that the power of the Jewel? (Naraku's face cracks with the strain of resisting the Meido, but he is left intact)
All those years ago, the Sacred Jewel was supposed to have burned with Kikyo's corpse, and been obliterated from this world. Even so, the Shikon Jewel used Kikyo's lingering affections for Inuyasha, as well as Kagome's, her own reincarnation, to return to this world. Shattered but not destroyed, the Jewel continued to bring new disaster as it slowly but surely reassembled. The Shikon Jewel will never disappear from this world. Even if I am destroyed, it will live on.
Naraku...What were... what were you even trying to accomplish?
Huh? (thinking) Kagome...
The whole time you've been fighting against us, it's always the same thing, over and over again! First you tore Kikyo and Inuyasha apart, forced Sango and Kohaku to fight against each other- and now, you're trying to use the love between Miroku and Sango to destroy them! You can't stand love and friendship, so you've devoted your entire life trying to break people apart! But why? Is that all you really wanted?
(scoffs)...Why ask me now?
You couldn't have done any of those things without understanding the human heart. The pain of loss wouldn't mean anything to you if you didn't know what it felt like to have a bond with someone!
Inuyasha (thinking) Kagome, what are you doing?
Nothing will ever satisfy you, because the Shikon Jewel didn't grant your real wish!
(thinking) This woman...
You were hesitating, weren't you? Because you know that the Shikon Jewel turns every body that it absorbs into a true monster.
Naraku (thinking) My hesitation...
You have a complete Shikon Jewel in your hands, and yet we both know you still haven't tried to absorb it!
(enraged) That changes nothing. Are you so naive that you think you can purify my heart with empty words?! Well, you were sadly MISTAKEN! (counterattacks)
