InuYasha · Season 1
Where am I!? What did you do to me!?
Kagome, you are where you've been all along.
That's impossible! I was at home and going to high school!
That was an illusion, nothing more. It was glimpse of the future you might have had. Do you wish to return to that world? It's not too late. Wish upon the Shikon Jewel and what you saw shall be yours once more. That or do nothing and you shall spend the rest of eternity here, alone in the darkness.
What? A human?
That is the priestess who created the Shikon Jewel.
So that's Midoriko?
She has been doing battle with us for hundreds of years ever since the Jewel was born. And Kagome will suffer the same fate.
There's no way I'm gonna let that happen!! Huh? Naraku!? You're still alive?
He's dead but soon he shall come back to life. When Kagome gives in to her fear of the darkness, and falls prey to the traps set by the Jewel, Naraku will awaken and a new battle of spirits shall begin within the Shikon Jewel. A battle that will continue forever. From the very moment the Jewel was first transported through time to the Feudal era; from the beginning this has been Kagome's fate.
So that's why the Shikon Jewel brought Kagome and Naraku here!? It wants their spirits to fight each other for all eternity?
Kagome was born to become a part of the Jewel and fight within it. That is the point of her existence.
The Sacred Jewel (in a soft and low male voice): Do you wish to see Inuyasha? Answer me, Kagome. Do you wish to see him?
Just like Kikyo. She wished to see Inuyasha again. And even Naraku. I'm sure his wish was a modest one, too. What they didn't know was that the Shikon Jewel never grants your real wish.
Then what will you do?
It is as we've told you. There is only one way for the two of you to meet again. And that is for Kagome to wish upon the Jewel and be trapped within it as a fallen priestess. You've made it worse, half demon. For the sound of your voice has only given Kagome false hope.
What?
Now she will undoubtedly make a wish. "Inuyasha, I want to see you again."
Kagome!!
We will never let her hear your voice again!
Shut up!
Be true to your heart, Kagome. You want to see Inuyasha. Wish it and it shall be so.
Is the one and only correct wish? The one and only correct wish. I just figured it out. I understand now.
If Inuyasha hadn't come, I would have given in my fear of the darkness and would never have found the correct answer. But now, with Inuyasha by my side, I am not afraid anymore. Shikon Jewel, disappear! Forever!
(The Jewel breaks, emanating a soft yellow light. The spirits of the demons' vanish, and the spirit of the priestess Midoriko, now free to pass on to the afterlife. In the spiderweb, Naraku's eyes open.)
... So, this is how it feels, to be at peace... It feels so warm. (vanishes as he is purified)
It's over.
(embraces her) Yeah. It's finally over.
