Here we come!
It's the start of Inuyasha!
We're going to gather all the shards of the Sacred Jewel...
And I'll destroy Naraku with my Tetsusaiga!
Naraku slays Kikyo,
then sends his new infant incarnation to attack the darkness in our hearts.
Inuyasha has gone in search of Kikyo
and is unable to come to save me!
It's up to us and Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kirara!
Travel back in time for a Feudal Fairy Tale!
Inuyasha!
Help!
Help me, Inuyasha!
Inuyasha is....
Inuyasha is searching for Kikyo.
Inuyasha won't come to save me.
Inuyasha...!
There!
I've grasped the darkness in your heart.
Now hold me tightly.
Let our souls unite and... become my eyes.
Inuyasha...
Find peace in death!
Why you...!
It's hard work to fight without killing them.
It's easier to deal with demons.
This isn't good. It's taking too much time.
Kagome, be safe!
Hmph! They're still alive.
Furthermore, they don't intend to kill the castle's soldiers...
They're easygoing, as usual.
But soon, they'll want to kill them.
After all, the soldiers are intent on killing the monk and his friends.
The evil will of the soldiers will become contagious
and soon, the humans will kill each other.
The human heart is weak.
Hatred is easily bred.
This girl is no different...
Kikyo!
I followed the directions of that old priest
and came to the river's edge.
But I don't catch Kikyo's scent around here.
And there isn't a villager around who's seen a priestess.
What's going on anyway?
This scent!
Demons?!
They're gone...
l-I think I eluded them...
But Inuyasha's nowhere to be found...
And Kirara and I have become separated.
I don't have any other options left....
I guess I have to use this.
What're you doing, Shippo?
D-Don't scare me like that!
Kirara?
You're okay!
What? Kagome was taken away to a castle?!
While I searched for Kikyo...
Was this...
a trap?!
Kagome's scent!
This way!
Kirara, let's hurry, too!
Forgive me! Oh let me be in time!
Do not falter! Kill them!
It's over for us!
P-Please save us...
I'm sorry Sango, if I use my Wind Tunnel, we could escape alive...
However...
I don't want to live at the expense of others!
But Miroku!
Shoot!
We must go and save Kagome!
Absolutely! It's not in my nature to give up!
Miroku! Sango!
Shoot!
Take this!
W-What...?!
Inuyasha!
Why you...!
Curse you demon!
Are you the leader?
Get out of here, you all!
Y-Yes!
They're mere humans...
This smell... Could it be.?!
Inuyasha, Kagome is inside the castle!
Right!
Dammit! This is Kagura's smell!
Let's go, Miroku!
Yes!
This priest...
He said that Kikyo was alive.
It WAS a trap!
Kagome!
Damn! I'm too late...
Hey there!
If it isn't Kanna.
What? A Sacred Jewel shard...
Implant that tainted Sacred Jewel shard into Kagome.
Then Kagome will be completely under our control.
My mission is done.
Once this is over, I shall go into hiding.
Hmm... With this, Kagome will become Naraku's slave.
The same fate as Kohaku.
Kohaku...?
This impure light...
You intend to place that shard in me?
No!
Huh?! I-I can't move!
Is it because this baby...
has a grasp upon my soul?
I have to break free...
I have to free myself from him...
Wait, Kagura.
Huh?
She's a stubborn one.
She's regained consciousness.
Come save me... lnuyasha!
It's useless.
You know, don't you, that he won't come to save you?
Rather than you, Inuyasha has chosen...
Kikyo!
Dammit! I'm such an idiot!
Go, Inuyasha!
Kagome!
This is no time to hesitate! Hurry!
Kikyo is waiting.
Yeah...
Forgive me.
I'm making the same mistake again...
Inuyasha...
I lost Kikyo...
I thought I was the only one hurting...
and acted selfishly...
Now I'm about to lose another precious person...
Dammit!
Wait for me, Kagome!
Wait until I get there!
Don't you die!
Think hard, Kagome...
When you learned that Kikyo had died...
didn't you actually feel happy?
The woman who came between you was gone...
But the moment Inuyasha heard that Kikyo was alive,
he went after her again.
Whether she is dead or alive,
Inuyasha's heart belongs to Kikyo.
Don't you feel bitter towards Inuyasha? Don't you hate Kikyo?
It's okay to hate. You are not wrong to hate.
Fill your heart with hatred once more.
And let me grasp your soul!
So she gave in...
I hate Inuyasha...? I loathe Kikyo...?
Yes...
But...
Huh?
What's going on? She repelled the shard.
Hmm... Here's something even this kid can't do.
Huh?
N-No...
She spoke.
M- My suggestive powers...
have no effect on this girl.
What you're saying is all wrong.
Even though, rationally, I can accept that Inuyasha can't forget Kikyo...
I still feel jealous.
Kikyo!
But....
Resenting Inuyasha... And being jealous of Kikyo...
These are feelings that any human would have.
And they're not used to curse people like you tell me to.
There have been numerous times when Inuyasha left my side
because he understood how difficult it was for me.
There were times when I did wish that Kikyo was gone....
but I felt bad that I even harbored such thoughts...
Still...
all these feelings...
it all means that....
that I'm...
I'm in love with Inuyasha!
Kagome!
Inuyasha...
You came for me.
Kagome!
Kagome...
No wonder Naraku can't stand that girl.
Why you...!
What did you do to Kagome?!
Hmph...
I just tugged at her soul a little bit.
Since you can't seem to get over Kikyo...
there's a bit of darkness in that girl's heart.
It's too bad.
One more step, and I would have broken her soul.
Just what the hell are you?!
Inuyasha!
You're here...!
Are you all right, Kagome?!
Kagura! Kanna!
What? You're still alive?
The monk and the Demon Slayer...
How many soldiers did you kill?
This infant... Was he manipulating the castle's soldiers?
I hate to disappoint you,
but we don't kill unnecessarily.
This infant... the ghastly color of his skin...
Is he an incarnation created from the clumps of flesh
which Naraku was producing at Mt. Hakurei?
Are you Naraku's human heart?
Why do you think that?
Naraku hid himself away at Mt. Hakurei
in order to create a more powerful body.
And...
to cast away his human heart.
Naraku said he cut away his human heart
which continued to yearn for Kikyo.
In order to get rid of Kikyo.
This kid...
is the human heart which had feelings for Kikyo?
That can't be!
Toying with people's hearts in a dastardly way....!
Well then...
Perhaps I am indeed the human heart which Naraku once possessed.
I can clearly see into a person's heart.
Their weaknesses and frailties.
I know just what to do
in order to make one suffer, feel sorrow or hate.
I can see it all so clearly.
If there is one feeling that I did NOT inherit from Naraku...
It's the anguish of yearning for Kikyo...
Where do you think that feeling went?
The disgusting clumps of flesh you saw at Mt. Hakurei...
That is it.
That was the abandoned heart?
And so...
I am free of suffering and sadness.
Hah! In other words,
you're just a monster created from Naraku's heart...
twisted and grotesque!
That's all I need to hear!
Prepare to die! Wind Scar!
This kid... Can he put up a barrier?
Damn, he's one creepy brat!
M-My Wind Scar is being sucked up!
Oh no! Everyone, run!
Damn!
That kid... He countered the Wind Scar!
Don't think this is over. I'll come to see you again.
Shaddup, kid!
If you touch Kagome again...
That girl is the only one, since Kikyo is gone...
who can see the Sacred Jewel shards.
What?!
Very, very soon...
Once Kagome's eyes become mine, the Sacred Jewel will become whole.
A Sacred Jewel filled with hate.
Are you crazy?!
As if Kagome would do anything for Naraku!
Hmph!
There are countless ways to corrupt her.
Inuyasha.... As long as you cannot forget Kikyo.
Damn them!
Kagome... I'm sorry I left you all alone.
I'll never let you fall into Naraku's hands again.
Never...
will I let you suffer like Kikyo.
Huh? What's wrong? You look listless.
Quiet! I need to sleep.
Kagome's soul is stronger than I expected.
I used up too much energy.
What's with this kid?
Did his struggle with Kagome tire him out?
He may be Naraku's infant incarnation,
but he's not all-powerful, huh?
I'm sorry, Kaede.
Say no more, Inuyasha.
Sister Kikyo was forced to return to the living.
And while here, her soul only suffered.
So....
I couldn't save Kikyo's soul.
For a second time, she was killed by that bastard Naraku.
Sister Kikyo's soul has faded.
She won't need to suffer anymore.
But....!
So Inuyasha, you need not suffer anymore either.
Yes, my sister is gone.
But....
I would have liked to bury her bones here at least.
Will Kagome be all right?
She continues to sleep even after returning here.
Inuyasha is with her.
She'll be fine. I'm sure.
Kagome, are you awake?
Oh, I see.... Inuyasha, you did come for me.
Are you okay? Take it easy.
Kagome, I'm sorry about what happened.
I wasn't with you and....
It's okay.
It's not okay!
I let you fall into harm's way.
Any later and I would've lost Kagome, too.
But, if you hear news of Kikyo's whereabouts,
you'll go off to look for her again, won't you?
No, I won't! I won't ever leave you again!
Liar!
I am not!
You're the type who'd go!
How long do you think I've known you now?
You would go. No doubt about it!
And when you do go, I'll be upset.
That's to be expected, right?
Kagome....
Hey, you're mad, aren't you?
Yes, I am, but....
Inuyasha will never forget Kikyo.
But I still love him... So there's nothing I can do.
Thanks, Kagome.
I came back to the present hoping to get some serious studying done!
Chorus!
Drama!
Cooking demonstration?!
Why not? It's a cultural festival.
Kagome, you didn't help at all with the preparations,
so you're on standby for everything!
We're counting on you, Kagome!
And if you mess up, you'll be sorry!
Next on Inuyasha: "Don't Boil It! The Terrifying Dried-Up Demon!"
I'd rather fight a demon from the Feudal Era!
