InuYasha · Season 1
He's gone. His sent and every trace of his whereabouts. He was badly injured, too. Where could he be? Hey, Sesshomaru, did Naraku take somebody as a hostage? A friend of yours named Rin?
Sesshomaru (thinking): Hmm. So that's why he abducted her. In order to buy time, to escape. Naraku, he thinks he's so cunning.
What do you want with me!?
I want some answers! What else? What is going between Naraku and Sesshomaru?
I'm under no obligation to speak to a half-demon like you! (Inuyasha pulverizes him) I meant, it's a terribly long story.
Then make it short.
Kikyo (thinking): Did Naraku lift the barrier, making the castle visible? If that's the case, then he's abandoned his territory and is hiding somewhere new. I don't like the looks of this.
I understand. Naraku's demonic aura remains as persistent and elusive as before. (thinking) I've had my soul collectors search for Naraku's demonic aura. But there is not even the hint of a barrier. How has he hidden such a strong miasma?
Everyone is crazy around here!
(concerning Inuyasha's pained reaction) I gave him some curry, but maybe it was too spicy?
Kagome (dryly): That's surprising, coming from a guy who blows off a gaping hole in his gut.
It struck me when I first saw you. You look remarkably similar...
Similar to?
Long ago, I came upon a priestess who could have passed as your sister. What was her name? Ah, yes. I believe it was Kikyo.
Pure coincidence, I'm sure.
Yes, of course. I'm talking about fifty years ago. If she were still alive, she'd be an old woman.
Yes. If she had lived.
I heard through the grapevine that she had passed on, and that the Jewel was buried with her in her grave.
You never did tell me your name.
Kikyo (hesitates): It's Kikyo.
A bad joke for a dying man.
(irritably) Huh! How come I get stuck being dragged all over your village like this?!
Take it easy! We've got a long journey ahead of us, so we've gotta stock up on supplies!
Wasn't it you that told me not to go out in public, last time I was here?
(cheerfully) Yeah- but that was then, and this is now! (chuckles)
(to himself) She's got a line for everything.
Miroku (thinking): Whenever Kikyo's involved, Inuyasha plunges in without another thought.
This girl is dead, just like Kikyo.
The walking dead like Kikyo.
It happened a long time ago. Shorty after I began traveling with Inuyasha. I was put into this tub full of medicinal herbs. It was a horrible, frightening experience. Urassue ultimately resurrected Kikyo. Until Urassue was then killed by the very woman she brought back from the grave.
(A soul collector comes to her)
Was it Kikyo who bade you to come? Hmm. I'm giving life a chance now, just as I promised.
Kagome (thinking): Kikyo. Kikyo has a shard of the Sacred Jewel. That's what I was sensing.
(Catches up to where a weakened Kikyo is resting)
It seems you, too, possess the power of a priestess.
What are you doing here? Are you feeling all right? Are you sick? Where are your soul-collectors? I don't see them in here. Why are you collapsed in here like this?
You certainly ask a lot of questions, young lady.
Come on. We gotta get out of here.
It's impossible. We're in the belly of the priestess-sealer.
Priestess Sealer?
A demon that traps priestesses and absorbs their spiritual powers. It puts up a barrier on the outside, and allows no one but priestesses inside.
You're quite an incredible woman. Normally, a priestess would be unable to even move inside this place.
Kagome (thinking): Meaning, I'm not normal?
Leave me behind.
Huh?
I am already dead, remember? You have a much better chance of escaping from here rather than being burdened by me. In order to escape from here, you must destroy the heart, which you'll find deeper in the cave.
But I can't do that.
Huh?
I don't know what are chances are, but I'm not going to let you order me around! Listen, I'm not giving up on you! So I need you to start thinking of escaping from here!
You're serious.
