Chapter 493
---- 1.
Title: "Resonance"
subtext: "Tenseiga... the time has come for a new awakening!!"
---- 2.
Kagome: "Inuyasha!"
Miroku: "Oh no, there's too many of them!"
---- 3.
Sesshoumaru: 'Tenseiga?!'
Inuyasha: "!"
Inuyasha: 'Tenseiga and Tessaiga are... resonating!'
---- 4.
Inuyasha: "Draw it, Sesshoumaru! Something will probably happen!"
Sesshoumaru: 'Is it telling me to fight?! Alongside Inuyasha?!'
Sesshoumaru: 'No, only in order to save Inuyasha and Tessaiga...'
Sesshoumaru: 'In order to get rid of the undesireable Meidou Zangetsuha, Tenseiga was cast off of Tessaiga,'
Sesshoumaru: 'And that Tenseiga was given to me just so I'd save Inuyasha...'
---- 5.
Shishinki: "Kukuku, Sesshoumaru... Lost even the will to fight now?"
Shishinki: "It's no matter. You've already run out of moves."
Shishinki: "To Hell with you! Take care of your father's memento while you're there!"
---- 6.
Sesshoumaru: "Father's memento... huh..."
Sesshoumaru: 'Whatever Father was thinking when he gave me Tenseiga, I don't care anymore.'
Sesshoumaru: 'However, Shishinki...' Sesshoumaru: "A piece of filth like you has no reason to live!"
---- 7.
[hole-y...]
---- 8.
[very hole-y]
---- 9.
[uber hole-y]
---- 10.
Rin: "Sesshoumaru-sama's meidou became a perfect circle..." Kohaku: "It's absorbing Shishinki's meidou!"
Shishinki: "Wha... Impossible!" Shishinki: 'Tenseiga was supposed to be incomplete...'
Shishinki: 'I see... It's because Tessaiga was nearby...'
---- 11.
Shishinki: "How pitiful, Sesshoumaru, that your father did such an utterly cruel thing!"
---- 12.
Kagome: "A...Amazing..." Miroku: "But... that was close."
Sesshoumaru: "...."
Inuyasha: "Hey, Sesshoumaru, you just..."
Inuyasha: "Wasn't that a complete Meidou Zangetsuha?"
---- 13.
Inuyasha: "Wait, Sesshoumaru! So now you've..."
Inuyasha: "You've just mastered Tenseiga! Shouldn't you be happy about that?!"
Inuyasha: "By the time I had the capacity for judgement, Dad had already died. So I don't know what Dad was thinking."
---- 14.
Inuyasha: "But what that Shishinki guy said... That Tenseiga was an unneeded piece of Tessaiga, an incomplete sword..."
Inuyasha: "That was just a mean way of saying, that Dad at least recognized you and gave you Tenseiga."
Kagome: "Inuyasha..."
Sesshoumaru: "Why... do you think that?"
Inuyasha: "Keh, because I've decided that I'm not gonna let you resent your sword just because of a misunderstanding."
Inuyasha: "I'm gonna show you that Tenseiga really is Dad's memento right here and now!"
---- 15.
Miroku: "Inuyasha is paying respect to Tenseiga..." Kagome: "I wonder if he's trying to encourage Sesshoumaru..." Shippou: "I wonder if it'll work."
Sesshoumaru: "Hmph... Inuyasha, your eyes are empty sockets..."
Inuyasha: "Wha..."
Sesshoumaru: 'Tenseiga's ability to render a perfectly circular meidou was simply because of resonating with Tessaiga nearby...'
Sesshoumaru: 'That's ample proof that Tessaiga is the master, Tenseiga the servant. And even before that...'
---- 16.
Shishinki: "How pitiful, Sesshoumaru, that your father did such an utterly cruel thing!"
Sesshoumaru: "Inuyasha, something for you to remember."
Sesshoumaru: "You and I are destined to fight until we die." (note: not necessarily "each other", just in general)
Inuyasha: "?!"
---- 17.
Inuyasha: "Hey..."
Jaken: "Wait for us, Sesshoumaru-sama!"
Sango: "Kohaku..."
Rin: "Kohaku, you sure you don't want to go say hi to your sister?" Kohaku: "...."
Kohaku: "Yeah... Let's follow after Sesshoumaru-sama."
Sango: "Kohaku..."
---- 18.
Kagome: "Inuyasha..."
Myouga: "Even though I'm sure the master anticipated this of Sesshoumaru-sama and entrusted Tenseiga to him..." Kagome: "Myouga-jii-chan." Miroku: "Always someplace safe..."
Myouga: 'But I've noticed something about its manner. About the master's true objective...'
Inuyasha: 'Sesshoumaru...'
preview: "The battle is over. However, while the fate of the two swords remains inconclusive, the brothers are torn apart... Next time, a new development!!"

Chapter 494
---- 1.
Title: "The Two Worlds"
subtext: "Finally back home. But... somehow... what?"
---- 2.
Kagome: "Well, sorry, everyone. I think I'll be gone for about three days."
Kagome: "Shippou-chan, you take care of the bow." Miroku: "And you take it easy."
Shippou: "Kagome, even though you're leaving, I wonder what Inuyasha's up to?"
Kagome: "It's all right. Inuyasha's talking with Kaede-baa-chan."
Miroku: 'I see... Probably about Kikyou-sama's final moments...' Sango: "...."
---- 3.
Kaede: "I see... It must have been hard on you, too, Inuyasha." Inuyasha: "There was... nothing I could do."
Inuyasha: "I'm sorry. I wasn't able to save Kikyou..."
Kaede: "No... Kikyou-onee-sama has... finally been released from a long time of suffering."
Kaede: "It's just that I wonder if all of Kikyou-onee-sama's duties have now been handed over to Kagome." Inuyasha: "Yeah... so..."
---- 4.
Inuyasha: "Hey... do you think Kagome will be all right?"
Kaede: "Inuyasha...?"
Inuyasha: 'I'm honestly scared.'
Inuyasha: 'If Kagome was in Kikyou's place, and had to give up her life...'
Inuyasha: 'If it looks like that would happen, I'd want her to go to the world beyond the well...'
Inuyasha: 'And live there in peace.'
---- 5.
Inuyasha: 'She's got friends and family there.'
Inuyasha: 'She won't be alone.'
note: "We won a trip to the hot springs in the town lottery, so we're off!" Kagome: "HUH?!"
Kagome: "Ohh, I get it. Leave me behind..."
Kagome: "Well, it's not their fault. Even I don't know when I'll come home."
---- 6.
Kagome: "That's right, school! I've gotta get to school!"
Kagome: "I need to make up all the classes I'm behind on. There's no time to lose!"
Kagome: "It's Sunday?!"
Kagome: "Um, is ___-chan there?" (Oh, god, Takahashi, it it REALLY that hard to give them names?! She just uses little charicatures of Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi in the speech bubbles instead of names.) phone: "She went shopping with ___-chan and ___-chan. Why don't you try her cell phone?"
---- 7.
Kagome: 'Cell phone? I don't have one. The Sengoku Jidai is sort of out of range.'
Kagome: "Sigh..."
Kagome: "Go to sleep, go to sleep... It's been so long since I've had a real bed..."
Kagome: "It's still the afternoon!"
Kagome: "Itadakimasu!"
---- 8.
Kagome: "This is great! I'm a genius!"
Kagome: "Yep, it's great. Yep."
Kagome: "Sigh... I want to eat some of Mama's cooking..."
Kagome: "All right, I'll study! I went out of my way to come back, after all."
Kagome: 'I wonder what Inuyasha and the others are doing...'
---- 9.
Kagome: 'Meaning, I wonder what Inuyasha's up to. If it's anything like usual, he'll be here to bother me pretty soon.'
Kagome: 'I'm lonely... And I was finally able to come back, too...'
Kagome: "Ooh... something's heavy..."
Kagome: "Wha... My blanket...?"
---- 10.
Inuyasha: "You're awake."
---- 11.
Inuyasha: "Wh, what? What did I do?" Kagome: "You came..."
Inuyasha: "Yeah, here..."
Kagome: "The bow..."
Inuyasha: "Did you realize you left it back there? Kaede-babaa says that if you always carry it with you, it'll form a connection with your heart."
Kagome: "I... see. This... isn't just an ordinary weapon..."
Inuyasha: "That's right. Well, bye."
Kagome: "Hey!"
---- 12.
Kagome: "What are you doing wanting to go back all of a sudden! That's not like you!"
Inuyasha: "Huh?"
Inuyasha: "No one's here?" Kagome: "Even though I was finally able to come back..."
Inuyasha: "Keh, stupid, then why don't you just hurry up and go back?" Kagome: "You might say that, but..."
Kagome: "I've got school tomorrow, and Mama and the others will probably be back, too..."
Inuyasha: "Kagome... you really"
Inuyasha: "like this world, don't you?" Kagome: "Eh?"
---- 13.
Kagome: "Well, yeah... I was born and raised here, and have my family and friends, too..."
Inuyasha: "Like I said." Kagome: "What's this all of a sudden?"
Inuyasha: "How about... until the battle with Naraku is over..."
Inuyasha: 'you just staye here?' Kagome: "Huh?"
Kagome: "Do you have a fever?"
Inuyasha: "Hey. It's not like I was talking incoherently."
Kagome: "Inuyasha..."
---- 14.
Kagome: "Did you... just come here to tell me that?"
Inuyasha: "Kagome..."
Kagome: "It's okay if I'm not around. That way you can go on a hot springs trip with Miroku and Sango." Inuyasha: "No... I'm not going to a hot spring."
Inuyasha: "I just thought... As long as you're safe and alive..."
Kagome: 'I see... so really... just because of Kikyou, Inuyasha is...'
Kagome: 'But I...'
Kikyou: 'Kagome... the rest is up to you...'
---- 15.
Kagome: 'made a promise to Kikyou...'
Kagome: "Thanks, Inuyasha." Inuyasha: "Ah?"
Kagome: "You were... just thinking of me, weren't you?"
Inuyasha: "Y... Yeah, I guess."
Kagome: "It's all right. I'll always be with you."
Inuyasha: 'Kagome...'
---- 16.
Inuyasha: "That's why... I'll protect you with my life."
---- 17.
Kagome: "Inuyasha..."
Kagome: 'Wait... in this kind of position...'
Kagome: 'Oh... and we're alone right now, too...'
---- 18.
Souta: "Nee-chan, we're home. Wha'cha doin?" Kagome: "EH!?"
Mama: "We're sorry, Kagome. Were you lonely?" Jii-chan: "We wanted you to come with us."
Kagome: "Ohh no, you could've taken a bit more time."
Kagome: 'At this time, I didn't think that the day would come when I'd have to choose between the two worlds.'
preview: "Having some time alone together, Kagome and Inuyasha make their feelings known to each other. However... next time, a new development!"

Chapter 495---- 1. Title: "Further Thought" subtext: "A new development!! Byakuya appears!! And this place is...?!" ---- 2. Byakuya: "Looks like there was quite a commotion here." ---- 3. Byakuya: "Rock insects, what happened here? Tell me everything you saw and heard." Rin: "Hey, Jaken-sama, where did Sesshoumaru-sama go?" Jaken: "Haaah..." Jaken: 'Sesshoumaru-sama... I wonder how badly he's hurt...' ---- 4. Jaken: "The Tenseiga which he has raised and cared for... is nothing more than a piece of Tessaiga which was given to Inuyasha...' Jaken: "Though where Sesshoumaru-sama would go because of that, I suppose I could guess." ---- 5. sign: "I've moved" Toutousai: "There." Toutousai: "Now then, let's go." ---- 6. Toutousai: "Eeeh, my house..." ---- 7. Sesshoumaru: "Toutousai... you thought you could escape?" Toutousai: "Hi, Sesshoumaru. I thought you'd show up sooner or later." Toutousai: "And with that attitude, I suppose you've learned Tenseiga's secret." ---- 8. Sesshoumaru: "Toutousai, you knew everything from the beginning, didn't you?" Toutousai: "Well, yeah. The one who sheared Tenseiga from Tessaiga and reforged Tenseiga as a weapon was me, after all." Toutousai: "So, what of it? You gonna kill me right here?" Toutousai: "Wait." Toutousai: "You met Shishinki, right?" ---- 9. Shishinki: 'Your father stole Meidou Zangetsuha from me. I wonder if it was too much for him to handle.' Shishinki: 'So then it was cast off of Tessaiga. And that which inherited that unneeded technique...' Shishinki: 'Was your Tenseiga, Sesshoumaru.' Toutousai: "Honestly. I don't know what ideas Shishinki put into your head, but..." ---- 10. Toutousai: "In the end, you got the Meidou Zangetsuha, right? That attack you fired at me before was a perfect circle." Toutousai: "It means that your father had no doubt... that you would be able to pull that off." Sesshoumaru: "Hmph, Toutousai..." Shishinki: 'How pitiful, Sesshoumaru, for your father to do such an utterly cruel thing.' Sesshoumaru: "Did you think... that I wouldn't realize what was to happen after that?" ---- 11. Toutousai: "After that...?" Sesshoumaru: "Tessaiga is a sword that can take the power of the enemy's weapon it battles against..." Sesshoumaru: "But this Tenseiga has no such ability." Sesshoumaru: "Father's true intention... was to have me perfect the Meidou Zangetsuha..." ---- 12. Sesshoumaru: "And then have Tenseiga reabsorbed by Tessaiga. That's what that means." Toutousai: "Oh." Toutousai: "Well, darn, you saw that far, huh?" Toutousai: "Like you said, your father intended to one day give the Meidou Zangetsuha to Inuyasha as well. Don't like that?" ---- 13. Sesshoumaru: "Hmph, do you think..." Sesshoumaru: "that I would be slain by the likes of Inuyasha's Tessaiga?!" Toutousai: "Whoa there." Sesshoumaru: "!" ---- 14. Toutousai: "Hey, Sesshoumaru. Why do you think your father crafted the swords in such a way?" Toutousai: "Did you honestly think that he would allow you to force Inuyasha into such a poor lot in life?" Toutousai: "Well, you're bein unreasonable right now." Toutousai: "While you're fussing over your father's memento, Tessaiga, maybe you should consider his thoughts beyond that..." ---- 15. Sesshoumaru: "SILENCE!" Sesshoumaru: "His thoughts beyond that, you say?!" ---- 16. Toutousai: 'Throw it all away, Sesshoumaru... Your attachment to your sword, your hatred for Inuyasha...' Toutousai: 'When that happens, Sesshoumaru, you will have surpassed your father.' Toutousai: "I thought... I thought I was gonna die..." ---- 17. Rin: "He's late, he's late, Sesshoumaru-sama..." Jaken: "Just be quiet! And the hundred times you said it before, too..." Kohaku: "!" Kohaku: 'What is this horrible feeling...' Rin: "What's wrong, Kohaku?" Kohaku: 'The Shikon shard... is becoming tainted...' Kohaku: 'Something wicked this way comes...' (okay, okay, "Something evil is closing in" ) Kohaku: "Run, you two!" Jaken: "Eh?!" ---- 18. Naraku: "Kukuku... Kohaku... It's been a while..." Kohaku: "Naraku..." preview: "It's unmistakeably Naraku! Suddenly the greatest enemy appears, and without Sesshoumaru there, is there anything Kohaku can do!?" ----

Chapter 496
---- 1.
Title: "Trick"
subtext: "Infused in the shard... feelings."
---- 2.
Naraku: "Kukuku, Kohaku... You're completely defenseless, aren't you." Kohaku: "Naraku..."
Kohaku: "Did you come to take my Shikon shard?!"
---- 3.
Naraku: "What other reason is there? The last one... With your shard, the Shikon no Tama will be complete."
Naraku: "Though Kikyou protected and purified your shard, she is already dead."
Kohaku: 'Kikyou-sama...'
Kikyou: 'Kohaku, I have been tainted by Naraku's spider web... Please stay away from me.'
Kikyou: 'You must not allow your shard even one point of impurity!'
Kohaku: 'I wasn't able to be with Kikyou-sama... in her final moments.'
---- 4.
Naraku: "Now, Kohaku... You can't run anymore."
Kohaku: "Tch..."
---- 5.
Naraku: "Kukuku..."
Kohaku: "!"
Rin: "Kohaku!"
---- 6.
Naraku: "!"
Kohaku: "?!"
---- 7.
Rin: "Kohaku, hurry!"
Kohaku: "What was that?! That light before..."
---- 8.
Kohaku: 'Even though Naraku's tentacles touched me...'
Kohaku: 'The shard's jyaki is weakening?!'
Kohaku: 'It's like it was purified...'
Naraku: "...."
Naraku: 'Kikyou... so this is your trick...'
---- 9.
Naraku: 'That point of light that Kikyou left in my Shikon no Tama purified Kohaku's shard, huh...'
Kohaku: 'Even though my shard became corrupted just by Naraku being nearby...'
Kohaku: 'But when he touched it directly, a pure light flowed through it.'
Inuyasha: "It's Naraku's scent!"
---- 10.
Kagome: "Looks like Kohaku-kun is there, too. I sense a Shikon shard..."
Sango: "What?!"
Shippou: "Shouldn't Kohaku be with Sesshoumaru?" Miroku: "And even knowing that, Naraku attacked?!"
Inuyasha: "I don't smell Sesshoumaru! Is that bastard not there?!"
Miroku: "Let's hurry! At any rate, this means Naraku has come to take the last shard that Kohaku holds!" Sango: "Right!"
---- 11.
Jaken: "S, somehow we were able to escape."
Naraku: "Kukuku, Kohaku..." Jaken: "Geeeh!" Kohaku: "Naraku..."
Naraku: "What do you think Kikyou was aiming for?"
Kohaku: "?!"
---- 12.
Naraku: "Kohaku, that woman purified your Shikon shard to the point there wasn't a bit of corruption left."
Naraku: "It was so that your pure shard could fuse with my Shikon no Tama, and purify me along with the jewel to destroy me."
Naraku: "So that even though Kikyou died, she could still threaten my life."
Kohaku: 'So that light that flowed into me before... it really was Kikyou-sama's...'
---- 13.
Kohaku: 'If by touching my shard, Naraku is tormented by pure light...'
Kohaku: 'Does that mean that my shard has now become the weapon to defeat Naraku?!'
Naraku: "Kukuku, however, Kohaku... there is a way for me to reclaim your shard without touching it."
Kohaku: "?!"
---- 14.
Kohaku: "!" Rin: "Eek!"
Jaken: "Geh!"
Kohaku: "Fly low!"
---- 15.
Jaken: "What is Naraku doing...?" Kohaku: "He intends to decapitate me and take it that way." Rin: "Eeeh?"
Naraku: "Kukuku, that's right... If I leave your shard in your neck, I can taint it at my leisure..."
Naraku: "There's no reason to hurry... I have plenty of time."
Miroku: "That's..." Sango: "Naraku's shouki!"
---- 16.
Inuyasha: "!"
---- 17.
Byakuya: "Hey, long time no see."
Byakuya: "It would be problematic for you to go on ahead. Naraku will get mad at me."
Inuyasha: "Byakuya of the Mirage..."
---- 18.
Inuyasha: "I don't have time to deal with you!"
Byakuya: "Same here. I don't intend to hold you up that long." Byakuya: 'Naraku's business will soon be complete, after all.'
Kohaku: 'Damn... It's... corrupting again...'
preview: "While Naraku attacks Kohaku, Inuyasha's group is halted by Byakuya! Is there a way to come to Kohaku's aid?!"

Inuyasha: "Keh, for this sort of thing..."
Inuyasha: "KAZE NO KIZU!"
---- 3.
Kagome: "Shouki!"
Byakuya: "Hmph."
---- 4.
Inuyasha: "Everyone, get back! With one more shot of the Kaze no Kizu, I'll blow this shouki away!"
Byakuya: "Can't let you do that."
Inuyasha: "!"
---- 5.
Sango: "Those same vines again..." Shippou: "Even if he cuts through them with the Kaze no Kizu, the shouki will only get worse!"
Miroku: "Stand back, Inuyasha!" Inuyasha: "Miroku!"
Miroku: "KAZAANA!"
---- 6.
Byakuya: "Hmph, what a fool."
Byakuya: "If you suck up this much shouki, you won't live."
Byakuya: "!"
Kagome: "Sango-chan, hurry up and go to Kohaku!"
Byakuya: "Tch!"
---- 7.
Sango: "Kirara!"
Inuyasha: "Byakuya, prepare yourself!" Byakuya: "!"
Byakuya: "No thanks."
---- 8.
Sango: 'I wonder if Houshi-sama is all right... he sucked up a lot of shouki...'
Kagome: "Miroku-sama, you're not in pain?!" Miroku: "Yeah. Let's follow after Sango." Inuyasha: "...."
Inuyasha: 'That Miroku... his expression hasn't changed a bit... He really has become unable to feel any pain. However...'
Inuyasha: 'I'm sure the shouki wound has spread again...'
---- 9.
Jaken: 'Waah, what should I do...'
Jaken: 'If Rin gets involved in this and dies, Sesshoumaru-sama will kill me!'
Kohaku: "Jaken-sama, please get away from me, and take Rin and escape!" Rin: "Kohaku?!"
---- 10.
Jaken: "Wha... that's... it's okay?!" Rin: "We can't, Jaken-sama!"
Naraku: "Kukuku, you think you have time to worry about other people?"
Kohaku: "!"
---- 11.
Sango: "Ah!"
Sango: "Kohaku!"
---- 12.
Jaken: "Dwaah!"
Kohaku: "Shouki!"
Kohaku: "Rin, this is a gas mask. You must not take it off!"
---- 13.
Kohaku: 'The Shikon shard's corruption... has gotten horrible...'
Rin: "Kohaku... are you all right?"
Kohaku: "Get away from me!" Rin: "Aah..."
Kohaku: "R... Run away... Rin..."
Rin: "Ko... Kohaku...."
---- 14.
Naraku: "Kukuku, are you afraid, Kohaku...? Under the control of my shouki..."
Naraku: "Having you kill that girl would be..." Kohaku: "Naraku..."
Naraku: "Just like when you killed your father and companions with your own hands..."
---- 15.
Rin: "Eh...?!"
Naraku: "Don't worry, Kohaku... You won't have those painful feelings much longer."
Rin: "Kohaku!"
---- 16.
Naraku: "Kukuku, thanks to Kikyou's trick, I can't touch your shard. However, I will be able to reclaim it."
Naraku: "Inside of your neck..."
---- 17.
Sango: "Naraku!"
Rin: "Kohaku!" Kohaku: "Ane... ue..."
Naraku: "Sango... all by yourself..."
---- 18.
Naraku: "If you care about your brother, then relieve him of his life right here. Give him peace..."
Sango: "Don't jerk me around!"
Sango: "!"

Chapter 498
---- 1.
Title: "Reborn Hiraikotsu"
subtext: "The cause of the siblings' separation, Naraku, now receives Sango's anger?!"
---- 2.
Naraku: "Don't you understand, Sango? Aside from death, there is no way to save Kohaku's heart."
Naraku: "Think about it, even if he were to escape my curse and return to himself, you two still wouln't be able to exist as siblings."
Naraku: "And why is that? Because Kohaku has been avoiding you, his sister, all on his own."
---- 3.
Naraku: "It's not unreasonable. Sango, you were there..."
Naraku: "You saw everything that happened. The moment that Kohaku killed your father and companions..."
Naraku: "Therefore, Sango, your very presence... is dragging Kohaku back to that horrific past."
Sango: "Kohaku is avoiding me...?"
---- 4.
Sango: "So what of it? I knew that much."
Kohaku: 'Ane-ue...'
Sango: 'Kohaku, you left me and kept yourself close to Kikyou."
Sango: 'And then after Kikyou died, now you are with Sesshoumaru...'
---- 5.
Sango: "Naraku, even if he was being manipulated by you, the fact is that Kohaku is the one who killed our father."
Sango: "I haven't forgotten what happened that day. I'm sure Kohaku is the same."
Sango: "We feel hurt and shame about what we did. And therefore..."
---- 6.
Sango: "We will not die! Until Kohaku's pain is overcome... Naraku, I will fight you!"
Naraku: "Kukuku, it's useless."
Kohaku: "Ugh... the jyaki again..."
---- 7.
Miroku: "The jyaki has gotten stronger!"
Kagome: "Hurry, Inuyasha! Kohaku-kun's shard... is getting more corrupted."
Kohaku: "A... Ane-ue!"
---- 8.
Sango: 'Kohaku?!'
Kohaku: "Ane... ue..."
---- 9.
Naraku: "Oh... even though you're being controlled by my jyaki, you can still speak?"
Naraku: "How interesting. You retain your senses, even though my will is controlling your body. As long as that Shikon shard is in your body..."
Naraku: "What will you do, Sango? How will you save Kohaku like this?"
Sango: "Naraku! I'm tired of hearing your nonsense!"
---- 10.
Kagome: "Sango-chan!" Miroku: "Sango!"
Naraku: "Hmph. You think something like Hiraikotsu could defeat me now..."
---- 11.
Miroku: "Ah..."
---- 12.
[flaming boomerang!]
---- 13.
Kagome: "Hiraikotsu is..." Miroku: "It's drawing in Naraku's jyaki?!"
Naraku: 'Impossible... I who am a mass of jyaki was broken by jyaki?!'
Naraku: 'No, that's... not just my jyaki...'
Naraku: 'There is... some other poison...'
---- 14.
Naraku: "Khh..." Naraku: 'My body... won't reform?!'
---- 15.
Sango: "Naraku!"
Shippou: "He got away!"
---- 16.
Sango: 'Hiraikotsu...'
Kagome: "Sango-chan..." Miroku: "Sango, are you all right?" Sango: "Everyone..."
Shippou: "Wasn't that awesome, Sango? Has Hiraikotsu gotten stronger?!" Sango: "Yeah... I was surprised, too..."
---- 17.
Inuyasha: "I smell Yakurou Dokusen's sake."
Sango: "I... see..."
Yakurou: 'Hiraikotsu has been infused with my poison and medicine. How it's changed, you won't find out until you do battle.'
Sango: 'Hiraikotsu draws in and destroys jyaki... huh.' Sango: "I'm grateful. It looks like it's an even match for Naraku."
Jaken: "Is Rin safe?" Inuyasha: "Huh?"
Inuyasha: "Jaken, why are you stuck to my foot?" Jaken: "You stepped on me."
---- 18.
Rin: "Kohaku, hang in there."
Kagome: "Kohaku-kun can't move?!" Sango: "Kohaku..."
Kagome: "It's because the Shikon shard is so corrupted."
Sango: 'Kohaku...'

Title: "Fragment of the Monster" (I'm using "fragment" here because we're not talking about a jewel shard, not to mention the word "kakera" here is written differently than its typical usage. "kakera" is written over kanji that would normally be read "hahen", which also means "fragment", but more in a "shrapnel" sort of sense, while the normal writing of "kakera" is more like "chip")
subtext: "Kagome has taken over Kikyou's memory, however..."
---- 2.
Kikyou: 'The last shard... Protect Kohaku's light...'
Kikyou: 'Kagome... it's something only you can do...'
Kagome: "Kohaku-kun, how are you doing?" Kohaku: "Yeah... I'm a lot better..."
Kagome: "I probably can't purify this as well as Kikyou, but..." Kohaku: "...."
---- 3.
Kohaku: "Back then..."
Kagome: "Eh?" Kohaku: "When Naraku tried to take my shard..."
Kohaku: "When his tentacle touched me, a purifying light flowed into my shard."
Kagome: "From Naraku's tentacle...?" Kohaku: "It was as if Kikyou-sama was purifying me."
Kagome: 'So that means... inside of Naraku, there's still some of Kikyou's power...?'
---- 4.
Kanna: 'The light will kill Naraku...'
Kagome: 'That image that Kanna showed me before she died... A point of light inside the corrupted Shikon no Tama...'
Kagome: 'That light is Kikyou's...'
Sango: "And...?" Kagome: "Eh...?"
---- 5.
Sango: "Kohaku, did you... think that you could defeat Naraku with your shard?"
Kagome: "Sango-chan..." Kohaku: "Ane-ue..."
Rin: "Naraku tried to take Kohaku's head. And then corrupt the shard in his neck slowly..."
Kagome: "Eeh?" Kohaku: "Rin!" Rin: "So you're in danger!"
Kohaku: "But, Ane-ue, it's certain that my shard causes Naraku pain!"
Kohaku: "Kikyou-sama's power is still at work! So..."
---- 6.
Inuyasha: "Would you just shut up already?!"
Kagome: "I... Inuyasha..."
Inuyasha: "Jeez. You're prodding him gingerly like a welt."
Inuyasha: "Sango, just tell him outright. That this is annoying and he needs to just get to the point."
Sango: "Inuyasha..." Kagome: "...."
Kagome: "Osuwari." Inuyasha: "What for?"
Kagome: "I couldn't help it this time."
---- 7.
Kagome: "Sesshoumaru isn't here and you're being violent in front of little ones." Jaken: "L... Little ones, meaning me?" Rin: "Jaken-sama, you are little."
Sango: "No... It's as Inuyasha said. This isn't just a problem for today."
Sango: "Kohaku... you are weak in both body and heart."
Sango: "Therefore, Naraku is going to try to take advantage of the weakness in your heart, and that's not something you can drive away by fighting alone."
---- 8.
Sango: "Do you understand that?"
Kohaku: "Y... Yes..." Kohaku: 'Though it pains me...'
Kagome: "Kohaku-kun, like you said, I'm sure Kikyou left her power in the shard."
Kagome: "Therefore, please take care of what Kikyou entrusted you with."
Kohaku: 'Kikyou-sama...' Kohaku: "R... Right..."
---- 9.
Inuyasha: "Tch, in the end, they still went easy on him." Shippou: "It's great to be pampered by a bunch of girls."
Shippou: '... Speaking of which, where did Miroku go all by himself?'
Miroku: 'The shouki wound... has spread again...'
Miroku: 'Please... make it until the end.'
---- 10.
Toutousai: 'Sesshoumaru, it's as you said. Your father intended for Tenseiga to one day be absorbed by Tessaiga.'
Sesshoumaru: 'Meaning that... Father intended to leave me with nothing, huh.'
Byakuya: "Are you all right with not returning, Sesshoumaru-sama?"
---- 11.
Byakuya: "... Impressive. That you'd instantly want to kill me."
---- 12.
Byakuya: "Sesshoumaru-sama, even though I have something that I'd like to give you."
Sesshoumaru: "Byakuya of the Mirage... huh."
Byakuya: "Sesshoumaru-sama, you are..."
Byakuya: "distressed about your sword, no?"
Sesshoumaru: "...." Byakuya: "Don't glare at me. The rock insect spirits of the mountain showed me everything about your fight with that Shishinki fellow."
---- 13.
Byakuya: "The also told me... that your sword Tenseiga is a part of your brother Inuyasha's Tessaiga."
Sesshoumaru: "Hmph, a person like you..."
Sesshoumaru: "has no business eavesdropping on that!"
---- 14.
Byakuya: "I'm certain I gave you something, Sesshoumaru-sama."
Sesshoumaru: 'A fragment of a mirror...?'
---- 15.
Jaken: "How long do you people intend to hang around! Go away already!"
Inuyasha: "Whaaat, the little assistant is unreliable, so what's the problem with us waiting with you?" Jaken: "Who's a little assistant?"
Inuyasha: "Should I stretch you out?" Jaken: "Ohhh, Sesshoumaru-sama, hurry up and come back!" Shippou: "Inuyasha, you really are just a bully."
Rin: "Ah, Sesshoumaru-sama!"
Inuyasha: 'Sesshoumaru...' Jaken: "Sesshoumaru-sama!"
---- 16.
Byakuya: 'Sesshoumaru-sama, that is... a fragment of Kanna's mirror monster.'
Byakuya: 'If you use that, you will be able to take Tessaiga's power in its entirety.'
---- 17.
Byakuya: 'If you break up that fragment and spread it over Tenseiga's blade, that should be enough.'
Sesshoumaru: 'Hmph, this suggestion originally comes from Naraku...'
Sesshoumaru: 'I suspect he plans to make me fight Inuyasha, and if he's lucky, both our swords will be rendered powerless...'
Sesshoumaru: 'However, there is merit... to falling into this trap.'
---- 18.
Sesshoumaru: "Draw, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha: "Wha..."
preview: "The fate of the swords and the brothers...!! Next issue, the long-awaited color chapter 500! Plus a special project published!! Don't miss it!"

Chapter 500[/b]
---- 1.
Title: "Successor"
subtext: "The fate of the brothers... finally comes to a complete clash!"
---- 2.
Inuyasha: "Sesshoumaru, you bastard... have you lost your mind or something?" Sesshoumaru: "I'm telling you to draw."
Kagome: "Sesshoumaru..." Miroku: "Does he intend to fight Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha: "Keh, this is ridiculous. Are you obsessing over the swords again?"
---- 3.
Inuyasha: "!" Jaken: "Geh!"
---- 4.
Inuyasha: "Well, it looks like you're serious. In that case..."
Inuyasha: "I'm not gonna hold back, either! Kaze no Kizu!"
---- 5.
Inuyasha: "!?"
Kagome: "Wha..." Miroku: "The Kaze no Kizu didn't come out!?"
---- 6.
Kagome: "Tenseiga..." Sango: "It transformed?!"
Inuyasha: 'The scent coming from Tenseiga... It can't be!'
Sesshoumaru: "Kaze no Kizu!"
---- 7.
Inuyasha: "Gah!"
Inuyasha: "Sesshoumaru, you bastard... have you sold your soul to Naraku?!"
Sesshoumaru: "...."
Kagome: "... What does he mean?!" Kohaku: "Sesshoumaru-sama..."
---- 8.
Inuyasha: "Naraku's scent... is coming from your sword!"
Byakuya: "Oh, sorry. That would be my scent." Inuyasha: "!"
Sango: "Byakuya of the Mirage..."
Byakuya: "A memento from Kanna... I gave Sesshoumaru-sama a fragment of her mirror monster."
---- 9.
Sango: "What did you say?!" Miroku: "The mirror monster..."
Kagome: "So then, does that mean Sesshoumaru is borrowing Naraku's power in order to reflect all of Tessaiga's power into Tenseiga?!"
Rin: "But that's... Sesshoumaru-sama, why?!"
Rin: "Naraku tried to kill Kohaku! And even so..."
Byakuya: "Too much commotion."
Byakuya: "How about I take you somewhere where you can fight at your leisure?"
---- 10.
Inuyasha: "!"
---- 11.
[Welcome to flying rocks and snakes land!]
---- 12.
Sesshoumaru: "I see, if we're here... we won't have any useless interruptions..."
---- 13.
Inuyasha: "I misjudged you, Sesshoumaru! Do you really want Tessaiga this badly?!"
Sesshoumaru: "...."
Sesshoumaru: "Kongousouha!"
---- 14.
Shippou: "Where did they go?" Miroku: "Byakuya disappeared as well."
Kohaku: "I can't believe it... That Sesshoumaru-sama would borrow Naraku's power..."
Miroku: "Yeah, however... Though Tenseiga is not a sword capable of taking an enemy's power, this way it would be as if it were reversed and it absorbed Tessaiga instead."
Kagome: 'But when Inuyasha's Tessaiga had its powers reflected, he couldn't use any attacks. There's no way he can win against Sesshoumaru!'
---- 15.
Sesshoumaru: "It's breaking apart..."
Sesshoumaru: 'I misjudged you as well, Inuyasha. To think you were really this weak...'
Sesshoumaru: 'Meaning that you were never qualified to have Tessaiga to begin with...'
---- 16.
Inuyasha: "Damn you, Sesshoumaru! You really want to kill me?!"
---- 17.
Sesshoumaru: "If you're weak, I kill you. And..."
---- 18.
Sesshoumaru: "I'll discard them! Both Tenseiga and Tessaiga!" Inuyasha: "Wha..."
---- 19.
Sesshoumaru: "Show me, Inuyasha. Proof that you are Tessaiga's successor rather than me."
Inuyasha: 'Proof...?!' Inuyasha: "In other words, if I win... then you'll give up."
Sesshoumaru: "You just try!"
preview: "Tessaiga can only have one master in this world! However, with Tessaiga's powers stolen, what of Inuyasha?! Take note of the next issue!"

Chapter 501[/b]
---- 1.
Title: "Backflow"
Subtext: "The brothers' destined confrontation! In this battle, they won't surrendur!!"
---- 2.
Sesshoumaru: 'If someone's going to die here, Inuyasha, it will be only you.'
Sesshoumaru: "I will not show you any mercy or compassion!"
---- 3.
Inuyasha: "!"
Inuyasha: "Gah..."
---- 4.
[Lookie, I can flyyy]
---- 5.
Byakuya: "Man, that Sesshoumaru is mean. Not only has he taken Tessaiga's power in its entirety, he's showing no mercy to Inuyasha with his shell of a Tessaiga that can't even counterattack."
Byakuya: "Looks like he really hates Inuyasha." Naraku: "Kukuku..."
---- 6.
Naraku: "He's taking advantage of the opportunity. Sesshoumaru seems to have a tenacious attachment to his father's memento sword."
Naraku: "So..."
Naraku: "I thought I'd tempt him a bit. Even if he knew it was a trap..."
Naraku: "As per my wishes, Sesshoumaru will kill Inuyasha without hesitation."
Byakuya: "Yeah. It looks like he's taking quite a beating."
---- 7.
[Once again, I fly!]
---- 8.
Sesshoumaru: "!"
---- 9.
Sesshoumaru: "Hmph... You transformed into a youkai out of desperation, huh?"
---- 10.
[Talk to the sword!]
---- 11.
Inuyasha: 'It's the same as when I fought that mirror monster.'
Inuyasha: 'Tessaiga is seeking my youkai power. No...'
Inuyasha: 'This is different from then! My youkai power is flowing into Tessaiga, but at the same time...'
Sesshoumaru: "!"
---- 12.
Sesshoumaru: 'It's... resonating with Inuyasha's sword?!'
Inuyasha: 'The youkai power that Tessaiga should have lost is flowing into me!'
Inuyasha: "Sesshoumaru!"
---- 13.
[Translators like pages like this]
---- 14.
Inuyasha: 'The stolen power is... flowing into it!'
Inuyasha: "KAZE NO KIZU!"
---- 15.
[*leans back and sips tea*]
---- 16.
Inuyasha: 'It's back... My Kaze no Kizu!!'
---- 17.
Sesshoumaru: 'Hmph... we just had to cross swords and the youkai power went running back, huh...'
Sesshoumaru: 'So you want to go back to Inuyasha...'
Inuyasha: "Next... I'm taking back Kongousouha!"
---- 18.
Sesshoumaru: 'Inuyasha, if you are truly Tessaiga's successor...'
Sesshoumaru: "MEIDOU ZANGETSUHA!" Sesshoumaru: 'Just try and steal this attack, too!'
Inuyasha: "Wha..."
preview: "Inuyasha's Tessaiga's power begins to return. Is it because he is the successor? Now an attack to test that proof...?!"

Chapter 502
---- 1.
Title: "Proof"
subtext: "Tessaiga's successor, awaken now!"
---- 2.
Sesshoumaru: "MEIDOU ZANGETSUHA!"
---- 3.
[my god... it's full of stars...]
---- 4.
Inuyasha: "!"
Sesshoumaru: 'Inuyasha, Meidou Zangetsuha is a technique that *I* perfected...'
---- 5.
Sesshoumaru: 'If it's fated to someday become yours, then you can just take it right now!'
Inuyasha: "Dammit! I'm being sucked into Hell!"
---- 6.
Byakuya: "Sesshoumaru just hit Inuyasha head-on with a Meidou Zangetsuha. He's not escaping that."
Naraku: "Byakuya, show me more."
Byakuya: "Hm?"
Byakuya: 'Oh, gross.' Byakuya: "You seeing better like that?"
---- 7.
Naraku: "Yes, much better. I can see Inuyasha's form disappearing into Hell..."
Sesshoumaru: 'Is this the end for you, Inuyasha? Though you were supposed to be Tessaiga's successor...'
---- 8.
Sesshoumaru: 'In that case, I have no desire for a sword like this.'
Sesshoumaru: 'Vanish into Hell. Along with Inuyasha.'
---- 9.
Sesshoumaru: "!"
Inuyasha: "!?"
---- 10.
Inuyasha: 'Dragon-scaled Tessaiga?!"
---- 11.
Sesshoumaru: "!"
Sesshoumaru: 'Is that... Inuyasha's youki?!'
Inuyasha: 'What does this mean?! Is the dragon-scaled Tessaiga telling me to cut through something's youki?!'
Inuyasha: '... There's nothing here....'
---- 12.
Inuyasha: 'All that's here... is my youki.'
Inuyasha: "!"
Inuyasha: 'My youketsu...'
---- 13.
Naraku: "Hmph... Inuyasha, what do you think you're going to do with the dragon-scaled Tessaiga?"
Naraku: "The dragon-scaled Tessaiga kills an enemy by cutting through the source of their youki, the youketsu."
Naraku: "The Meidou is not a youkai. You can't cut a Meidou, for that has no youki or youketsu."
Inuyasha: 'It's saying to cut... my own youketsu?!'
---- 14.
Inuyasha: 'But that means I'd be cutting through my own life. However...'
Inuyasha: 'If I don't do anything, I'll be sucked into Hell...'
Inuyasha: 'Tessaiga! I'm trusting you!!'
---- 15.
Naraku: "Hmph... have you been driven to madness, Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha: "!"
---- 16.
Inuyasha: 'The youki is... flowing in!'
Sesshoumaru: 'The youki got bigger...?!'
---- 17.
Inuyasha: 'My youki is... rushing about me and Tessaiga!'
---- 18.
Naraku: 'The Meidou is... being eroded by Inuyasha's youki...?'
Sesshoumaru: 'So this... is proof of succession, huh...'
preview: "Acting in the face of death, Inuyasha draws out an enormous youki!? Will he be able to escape the Meidou?!"

Chapter 503
---- 1.
Title: "Black Blade"
subtext: "The fated confrontation between the brothers, finally at a climax...!!"
---- 2.
Miroku: "It certainly carved out a lot of earth..."
Kagome: "Inuyasha... I wonder if he's all right."
Shippou: "Hm?"
---- 3.
Toutousai: "Somehow... it looks like it's begun."
Miroku: "Toutousai-sama..." Kagome: "Do you know what's going on?!"
---- 4.
Toutousai: "Yeah. But it's sooner than I'd expected. Tessaiga and Tenseiga..."
Toutousai: "Will shortly become a single sword." Kagome: "!"
---- 5.
Sesshoumaru: 'Inuyasha's youkai power is overwhelming the Meidou...'
Byakuya: "What'll you do, Naraku? Hasn't Inuyasha ended up getting stronger?"
Naraku: "Kukuku, in that case... All I can do is take Inuyasha's life..."
---- 6.
Naraku: "Using the sword that Sesshoumaru discarded..."
Inuyasha: 'If my youkai power continues to grow like this... I'll be able to escape the meidou!"
---- 7.
Sesshoumaru: "!"
---- 8.
Inuyasha: "Ugh..."
Inuyasha: "!" Inuyasha: 'Sesshoumaru's sword...?!'
---- 9.
Naraku: "Kukuku... Sesshoumaru's sword... is covered with fragments of Kanna's mirror monster."
Naraku: "In other words, that sword is now like a part of my body."
Naraku: 'I have no difficulty in manipulating it.'
Inuyasha: "Gah..."
---- 10.
Inuyasha: "!"
Inuyasha: 'Ugh... Naraku's shouki...?!'
Sesshoumaru: 'His youki... weakened?'
Sesshoumaru: 'Naraku...!'
---- 11.
Inuyasha: "Tch..."
Inuyasha: 'I dunno why Sesshoumaru let you go...' Inuyasha: "but I've got no choice but to cut you apart!"
Naraku: "Hmph..."
Inuyasha: "Above me!"
---- 12.
Inuyasha: "!"
Inuyasha: "Sesshoumaru..."
Naraku: "Sesshoumaru..."
---- 13.
Naraku: "Hmph... you saw that Inuyasha had weakened, so reclaimed your discarded sword, huh... Very well."
Naraku: 'I have no problem with you finishing him off yourself.'
Sesshoumaru: 'Naraku, I already have the answer.'
Sesshoumaru: "Ready yourself, Inuyasha."
---- 14.
Sesshoumaru: 'This fight is between me and Inuyasha. Naraku, you no longer have a role in this!'
Naraku: 'The mirror fragments were swept away.'
---- 15.
[Oh, come on, you lost your other sword the exact same way.]
---- 16.
Inuyasha: "Wha... Tenseiga broke?!'
Inuyasha: "?!"
---- 17.
Inuyasha: 'A black blade... this is...'
Sesshoumaru: 'Meidou Zangetsuha...'
Toutousai: "Just now... they became one."
---- 18.
Inuyasha: "Ugh..." Inuyasha: 'Naraku's shouki is...'
Naraku: "Kukuku, how ironic, Inuyasha. When Tessaiga's youkai power returned, it looks like your body also returned to that of a hanyou."
Naraku: 'And your youki which was overwhelming the meidou is also gone... You two brothers can do nothing but be swallowed by the meidou now.'
preview: "Tessaiga finally absorbs Tenseiga's Meidou Zangetsuha and becomes a single sword. However, the deep darkness of the meidou draws them in?!"

---- 1.
Title: "Meidou Light"
subtext: "Approaching... darkness of the meidou...!!"
---- 2.
Byakuya: "The meidou is disappearing..." Naraku: "Kukuku..."
Naraku: "It's over for Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru. You who were left trapped in the meidou..."
---- 3.
Naraku: 'Can no longer return to this world.'
Sesshoumaru: 'He's unconscious... just from something like Naraku's poison...'
Sesshoumaru: 'Hmph... he is just a hanyou...'
Sesshoumaru: "...."
---- 4.
Inuyasha: "Ooh..."
Inuyasha: "....! Sesshoumaru..."
Inuyasha: "Bastard... you still wanna fight...?"
Sesshoumaru: "The meidou has closed."
Inuyasha: "Wha..."
---- 5.
Inuyasha: "What do you mean...?"
Sesshoumaru: "Whether we're swallowed by the meidou like this..."
Sesshoumaru: "Or whether we return to the world of the living... Inuyasha, it's up to you."
Inuyasha: "Up... to me...?"
Inuyasha: "Saying that with such a calm face... Does that mean you know of a way out?"
Sesshoumaru: "I just told you. It's something only you can do."
---- 6.
Inuyasha: 'Meaning... I should use my new Tessaiga?!'
Inuyasha: 'Black Tessaiga!'
---- 7.
Inuyasha: 'Back then...'
Inuyasha: "Sesshoumaru, back then... it was like you broke Tenseiga yourself..."
---- 8.
Sesshoumaru: "You don't have time to be making small talk."
Inuyasha: "?!"
Inuyasha: "Wha, my body..."
Inuyasha: 'We're being swallowed by the meidou's darkness?!'
---- 9.
Inuyasha: 'What do I do?! Do I have to cut somewhere?!'
Sesshoumaru: 'Inuyasha, that's your sword now. It has to be used in your own way.'
Inuyasha: "!"
Inuyasha: "Don't disappear, Sesshoumaru! Not only you surrenduring your sword, I don't want your death on my conscience, too!"
---- 10.
Inuyasha: 'Sesshoumaru is unarmed! I'm the only one who can do anything!'
Inuyasha: "!"
Inuyasha: 'Light... And the scent of the outside world...'
Inuyasha: "It's there!!"
---- 11.
[Let there be light!]
---- 12.
Kagome: "Wha... a meidou?!' Toutousai: "Ooh."
Toutousai: 'Light...? No... that's...'
---- 13.
Kagome: "Inuyasha!" Rin: "Sesshoumaru-sama!"
---- 14.
Kagome: "What horrible wounds..."
Toutousai: "So, the one who cut from inside the meidou was Inuyasha, huh..."
Toutousai: "Sesshoumaru... have you come to an understanding?"
Jaken: 'Sesshoumaru-sama... isn't carrying Tenseiga...?'
Jaken: 'Th, then it's true... that Tenseiga was absorbed by Tessaiga?! It... it can't be...'
Sesshoumaru: "It doesn't interest me anymore."
---- 15.
Sesshoumaru: "Let's go, Jaken." Jaken: "Oh, right!"
Toutousai: "Wait, Sesshoumaru."
Toutousai: "You may be reluctant to do so, but..."
Toutousai: "Take that with you. It fell out of the meidou."
Inuyasha: "Ooh..." Kagome: "Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha: "That's... Tenseiga...? But I thought it broke..."
---- 16.
Inuyasha: 'Wait... that light I saw inside the meidou... That was... Tenseiga's light...'
Toutousai: "In the end, it's back to it's original form. The sword that can not cut... the healing Tenseiga."
Sesshoumaru: "So...? Are you saying I should carry that and go around saving people? Don't mock me."
---- 17.
Toutousai: "Heeey." Jaken: "Wait for me, Sesshoumaru-sama!"
Rin: "Umm..." Toutousai: "Hm?"
Rin: "I'll give this to him when he feels better." Kohaku: "Take care, Ane-ue!"
Sango: "Kohaku..." Miroku: "So he went with him."
Inuyasha: "Hey, Toutousai." Toutousai: "Hmmmmmmmmm?"
Inuyasha: "What's going to happen to Sesshoumaru...? He doesn't have a weapon..."
---- 18.
Toutousai: "Even more than worrying about your brother, you sure learned how to use your new Tessaiga quickly."
Toutousai: "Being able to escape the meidou, do you understand that it was not solely your power that was at work?"
Inuyasha: "Yeah..." Inuyasha: 'If Tenseiga's light hadn't shown me the way...'
Toutousai: 'However... Sesshoumaru may not have realized it, but with just one more step it won't be his father's memento...'
Toutousai: 'But a weapon of his very own that he will be able to attain.'
preview: "The brother's death struggle is over, but now a new road has shown itself to Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru... Next issue, a new development!"

Kagome: "It sure got dark." Miroku: "But in mountains like these..."
Sango: "We've got no choice but to just camp out." Miroku: "Though a temple or a shrine would be nice."
Shippou: "Hm?"
Shippou: 'That's foxfire. I wonder if there are others like me here.'
---- 3.
Kagome: "Shippou-chan?!"
Kagome: "A leaf?!"

Miroku: "It says here that you're welcome to stay at your leisure, but..." Kagome: "An inn?"
Sango: "This is obviously a youkai mansion." Miroku: "Yes. It's surrounded by balls of fire."
foxy lady: "Ah, guests!" foxy lady: "Please, make yourselves at home!"
Miroku: "Let's stay here." Sango: "Huh?!" Kagome: "To slay the youkai?" Inuyasha: "Not likely."
---- 6.
foxy lady: "Ooh, our guest is a monk?!" Miroku: "Ha ha ha, naturally." foxy lady: "This way, please."
Sango: "What exactly do you intend to do?"
Inuyasha: "Hm?" Kagome: "Talismans?"
foxy lady: "Whoa, my score totally went up a ton!" foxy lady: "I got lower senior 8th rank!" foxy lady: "And I got upper junior 8th rank!" Miroku: "Huh?" Sango: "They're talking like men."
foxy ladies: "Thank yooou!"
---- 7.
Miroku: "What was that just now?" Sango: "I think we were made fun of by some youkai."
Kagome: "Huh? Inuyasha, where's Shippou-chan?" Inuyasha: "Hm?"
Inuyasha: "Whoops, I dropped him in the garden." Kagome: "Oh no!"
fox: "Hey, pull yourself together Number 77!" fox: "You don't have time to be sleeping, Number 77!"
Shippou: 'Number... 77...?'
---- 8.
Shippou: 'W, wake up... wake up, me!'
Shippou: "You think I'll lose to you!"
fox: "What are you doing, Number 77?" fox: "Acting like an idiot amongst your companions won't get you any points."
---- 9.
Shippou: "Points?"
Shippou: "Advanced Youjutsu Exam?"
fox: "You're a kitsune and you don't know about it?" fox: "Today's the yearly exam date." fox: "You've even got an admission ticket, right?"
Shippou: "You mean this leaf...? So I'm Number 77."
Miroku: "Well, no harm done. This place will even protect us from the morning dew." Sango: "Jeez, so you're thinking of staying here after all."
---- 10.
foxy lady: "The baths are ready!" foxy lady: "Let us wash your back!"
Miroku: "Well, I'll be gone for a bit."
foxy lady: "What's our score?!"
paper: "FAIL"
foxy lady: "Cuuurse yoooou!"
Miroku: "Now that I think of it, those girls from before got some talismans, too..."
---- 11.
Sango: "Yeah... They were talking about senior and junior ranks or something. What is that...?"
Miroku: "Ranks, huh. Perhaps amongst nobles, or in other situations, gods..."
fox: "There are thirty ranks of kitsune youjutsu."
fox: "Starting at the highest of senior 1st rank..." fox: "It continues down to lower junior 8th rank, then upper strong novice, lower strong novice, upper weak novice, lower weak novice, for 30 ranks in all."
Shippou: "I can't remember all that!" fox: "You don't have to."
fox: "You have to study for hundreds of years to reach senior 1st rank." fox: "But we're lucky."
---- 12.
fox: "Tonight's guests are a monk, a taijiya, and a youkai." fox: "Fooling them is worth maximum points."
Shippou: 'A monk and a taijiya... they're talking about Inuyasha and the others.'
fox: "Those fools are staying on the exam grounds without even knowing it." fox: "Let's scare them to death."
Kagome: "Shippou-chan!"
Shippou: "Kagome!"
---- 13.
fox: "Let's go!" Shippou: "Ah!"
Shippou: "Hey, wait you guys!"
Shippou: 'I don't know anything about this exam, but I can't put my friends in danger just because of something like that.'
Inuyasha: "Hey, Shippou!"
Shippou: "I, Inuyasha..." Inuyasha: "Hey, where have you been off playing?"
Shippou: "Let me go! I don't have time to talk to you!" Inuyasha: "Huh? What makes you think saying that will work?"
---- 14.
Shippou: "Oh, shut up!"
Shippou: "Kagome, I'm coming!"
Shippou: "Hm?"
paper: "Upper Junior 8th Rank" Shippou: "Oh."
Shippou: "Does... this mean I've gotten my score?"
Kagome: "Shippou-chan, where are you?"
---- 15.
fox: "Huhuhuhuhu..."
Kagome: "...."
fox: "Be afraaaaaid." fox: "Cryyy... screeeeaaam..."
Inuyasha: "Shippou, you bastard!"
fox: "What the..." fox: "You've got the wrong guy!" Inuyasha: "Oh, shut up. You think there's anyone else with such a stupid transformation?"
---- 16.
fox: "Fail." fox: "Fail." fox: "Fail." Inuyasha: "Hm?"
foxes: "We'll remember this!"
Kagome: "I thought they seemed kind of the same. Shippou-chan and his friends, I mean." Inuyasha: "Yeah."
fox: "Dammit, what a violent youkai." fox: "And that girl just smiled dumbly at us the whole time." Shippou: "Hm?"
Shippou: "Umm... can I ask you something?" fox: "Hm?"
---- 17.
fox: "What?! Your first time taking the exam, and you got upper junior 8th rank?!" Shippou: "Is... that good?"
fox: "Good or not, you went up five ranks all at once." Shippou: "Is that impressive?" fox: "*Mister* Number 77, just who are you?!"
Shippou: 'It... it must be because I took out Inuyasha back there... They did say youkai were worth maximum points...'
Shippou: '... Meaning I got to beat on Inuyasha AND advance in rank at the same time!'
---- 18.
fox: "But Mister Number 77, it seemed like you knew that youkai." fox: "You're okay with fooling your friends?" Shippou: "It's hard! It's hard on me, but..."
Shippou: "They're no substitute for the exam!" fox: "That's so cold..." fox: "I want to see Mister Number 77 maintain that level of commitment!"
fox: "Here's your food." Miroku: "No thanks." Shippou: "I'm watching you, Inuyasha..." Kagome: "Could you make it a little brighter?" papers: "FAIL"
preview: "Shippou's sudden urge to fight. With his grudge against Inuyasha increased (?), is he serious? What of the advancement exam...?!"

Chapter 506[/b] ---- 1. Title: "Examinee Number 77" subtext: "Inuyasha, Shippou... their fight without honor now begins!!" ---- 2. Kagome: "Shippou-chan hasn't come back." Kagome: "Should we go look for him?" Inuyasha: "Don't worry about it. He's probably off playing with his friends." Sango: "Friends...?" Inuyasha: "This place reeks of kitsune. There's gotta be a hundred of 'em." ---- 3. Shippou: "Huhuhu, that's right. Inuyasha, you are completely surrounded." Kagome: "Shippou-chan?" Inuyasha: "I'm trapped, huh?" Shippou: "How pitiful, Inuyasha. You're about to become my footstool." statue: "Huhuhuhuhu" Inuyasha: "There you are." Shippou: "So you found me." ---- 4. Shippou: "Aha!" Kagome: "Inuyasha!" Shippou: "Huh?! I'm still upper junior 8th rank?!" Shippou: "How come my rank didn't go up even though I got the best of Inuyasha?!" fox: "It did go up, Mister Number 77" fox: "Here, right there... That 'T'..." fox: "When it becomes 'sei-sei', you get all ten points and go up one rank." (Okay, this is hard to explain. Sort of how we use tally marks to count in bundles of 5, Japanese use the kanji "sei" in the same way, as it has five strokes. So, the "T" mark is actually the first two strokes of "sei", so it's like two tick marks on a tally. "sei" means "correct", so it's logical to use it to award points. For scanlators, you may just want to paste in those two kanji in the translation and leave a note or something. Either that or just totally change it to tally marks. However you want to do it, since this is a weird one. Anyway...) Shippou: "So I just gotta get him a bunch more times?" fox: "Your rank's already gone up, so advancing is going to be really hard." ---- 5. Kagome: "Ah." Shippou: "What was that for?!" Inuyasha: "That's what I should ask you!" fox: "Waaaaaah!" fox: "We didn't even do anything!" Kagome: "Sorry, you guys." Kagome: "Inuyasha, osuwari!" Inuyasha: "Why?" Kagome: "You need to lighten up a little, jeez." ---- 6. fox: "Whoa, I went up a little!" fox: "Our Fake Tears no Jutsu was a huge success!" (haha, you can un-Naruto-ize that to "Fake Tears Technique" if you want XD) Inuyasha: "You bastards!" Inuyasha: "Dammit, they got away." Kagome: "Shippou-chan, too..." Inuyasha: "Hm?" Sango: "The next room?" Miroku: "Wahaha, come a little closer." foxy lady: "Awww." foxy lady: "Oh, I went up!" foxy lady: "Me too!" ---- 7. Sango: "...." Kagome: "Sango-chan, that's...?" Sango: "Youkai exterminating stench pellets!" foxy lady: "Bwah!" Kagome: "I, Inuyasha!" foxy lady: "How dare you!" Miroku: "Heeey!" Sango: "You thought we couldn't see you." Miroku: "If you'd just hear me out..." Kagome: "Kitsune Youjutsu Advancement Exam?!" Miroku: "This inn is their examination ground and they must continue to fool their guests until dawn. My, even the kitsune world is quite strict." ---- 8. Sango: "So you had them turn into women for fun?" Miroku: "I thought I'd help them out a bit." Kagome: "Isn't that cheating?" Shippou: "Huhuhu, that Inuyasha is blissfully unaware." fox: "If we're gonna do it, now's the time." Shippou: "Heave ho!" Inuyasha: "HULK SMASH!" (or "I'll PULVERISE him!" ) ---- 9. Inuyasha: "Get the hell out here, Shippou!" foxes: "Huhuhuhu" ---- 10. fox: "Ow ow ow" Kagome: "Poor things, those were good transformations." Inuyasha: "Keh." papers: "FAIL" foxy ladies: "Houshi-sama~" foxy ladies: "Houshi-sama~" foxy lady: "Ooh, dumplings!" foxy lady: "Itadakimasu!" fox: "I've gone nuummbb~" Sango: "Hmph." Miroku: "Are you... really that concerned about me?" ---- 11. Miroku: "THAT'S SO CUTE!" Sango: "Ho... Houshi-sama." Miroku: "Cute!" Miroku2: "Cute!" Miroku3: "Cute!" Miroku(real): "They're really trying." fox: "Yay!" fox: "I advanced!" Inuyasha: "Where are you, Shippou?! Stop hiding!" Shippou: "I'm not running or hiding." Inuyasha: "Huh?!" ---- 12. Shippou: "I won't forgive you, Inuyasha. You indiscriminately hit my innocent friends." Inuyasha: "Keh. They were in league with you, weren't they?" Shippou: "I'll crush you with my youjutsu." Inuyasha: "Sounds interesting. Wanna try it?" Inuyasha: "Huh?" ---- 13. tag: "Do not pull" banner: "That moron pulled it" fox: "Ooh, amazing!" fox: "What a clever youjutsu!" Kagome: "That's youjutsu?" ---- 14. Shippou: "Ohh!" Shippou: "J, Just two more points and I advance!" Shippou: "Kitsune Youjutsu, Crushing Top!" paper: "FAIL" Shippou: "Curse you..." ---- 15. Shippou: "Yah!" acorns: "Waah! Waah! Waah!" Inuyasha: "Keh, tough luck." ---- 16. fox: "Ah." fox: "Mister Number 77, it's almost dawn!" fox: "The exam's gonna be over!" Shippou: "You think I'm gonna give up?!" Shippou: 'Ack. I'm out of items.' Inuyasha: "Hm?" Inuyasha: "What's wrong, Shippou? You still wanna fight, I'll take you on." Shippou: 'I just... needed two more points... No...' Shippou: "I guess... this is my punishment..." Inuyasha: "Huh?" ---- 17. Shippou: "I'd been blinded by my exam results... This is my punishment for injuring my good friend Inuyasha." Kagome: "Shippou-chan..." Shippou: "I'm too ashamed. I..." Shippou: "I can't be with you anymore!" Kagome: "Inuyasha, you should make amends." Inuyasha: "Man..." Inuyasha: "Come on, Shippou..." ---- 18. fox: "Ooh, he advanced!" fox: "That was amazing!" paper: "Lower Senior 8th Rank" Shippou: "YEAH!" Miroku: "Shippou, are you going to be taking the exam next year?" Shippou: "I've had enough..." Kagome: "So a pitfall is youjutsu, too?" Inuyasha: "Keh." preview: "Shippou's final magnificent teary-eyed attack?! ... However, the repercussions were heavy. Next issue, a new development!!" ----

Chapter507[/b]
---- 1.
Title: "Hitomiko" (this is a name. Means "eye child")
subtext: "A new development!! Creeping towards Kagome is a new evil plot...!"
---- 2.
villager: "Hitomiko-sama, trouble! A traveler has collapsed at the village entrance." Hitomiko: "Oh my..."
Hitomiko: "And...?"
Hitomiko: "Is he still breathing?" villager: "There's something odd about his appearance." villager: "Is he carrying some disease?"
villager: "Wha...? Something strange is coming out of his mouth..." villager: "If we carelessly bring him into the village and his sickness spreads, we'll have a problem."
---- 3.
villager: "Can't we just bury him right here?" Hitomiko: "That's... please wait a moment."
Hitomiko: "Perhaps..."
villager: "Uwaah!"
---- 4.
villager: "H, Hitomiko-sama..." Hitomiko: "We're all right now. It looks like it was a youkai." villager: "Th, that was close."
---- 5.
Kagome: "That way!"
Kagome: 'I can see it... That's...'
---- 6.
Kagome: 'Naraku's spider web!'
Shippou: "I can't see it." Miroku: "It seems it's only visible to Kagome-sama."
Inuyasha: 'Naraku's spider web tainted Kikyou to the point of killing her...'
Inuyasha: 'That bastard, what's he up to this time?!'
---- 7.
Inuyasha: "Doesn't this lead out of the village, Kagome?" Kagome: "Yeah... to that shrine..."
villager: "Um... who are you?" Miroku: "Are you the villagers?"
villager: "You saw a spider web...?"
Miroku: "Has anything unusual happened here in the past few days?"
villager: "Actually..." villager: "The miko who protected this village..."
Kagome: "Died...?"
---- 8.
villager: "The miko was called Hitomiko-sama, and though she had great spiritual power, she was very kind. She was loved by all the village."
villager: "Seven days ago, Hitomiko-sama slew a youkai, but..."
Hitomiko: "I've failed... The threads that youkai spewed... it appears one attached to my body." villager: "Hitomiko-sama..."
Hitomiko: "It's all right... If I should die... please cut off my head..."
---- 9.
Hitomiko: "And bury my head and body in different places." villager: "But that's..."
villager: "Though it was her last request... everyone in the village was too afraid and no one was able to cut off her head."
villager: "So we buried her as she was."
villager: "H, however... though I'm certain we buried her properly..."
---- 10.
Hitomiko: "Visitors...?"
---- 11.
villager: "H, Hitomiko-sama!"
Miroku: "This is the dead miko?!" Sango: "She came back to life?!"
Inuyasha: "She hasn't returned to life." Inuyasha: 'She smells like a corpse.'
Hitomiko: "That's why I told you... to bury my head and body in different places..."
---- 12.
Kagome: 'Spider webs!'
---- 13.
Shippou: "I saw it! The spider web!"
Inuyasha: "Kh!" Kagome: "Inuyasha!"
---- 14.
Hitomiko: "You fool! Cutting the spider web won't destroy me!"
Inuyasha: 'She disappeared...?'
villager: "Is that..." villager: "A mononoke taking Hitomiko-sama's form?"
---- 15.
Sango: "Does this mean that Naraku is manipulating her dead body?" Kagome: "But that woman..."
Kagome: "It looked like she was speaking of her own will."
villager: "Can you save her?" Inuyasha: "...."
Inuyasha: "All we can do is bring back her corpse..."
Miroku: "Even so, it's not like we can just leave this alone. Hitomiko-sama's final request..."
Miroku: "That she wanted her head and body buried in different places... It means she was afraid of being resurrected in this manner."
---- 16.
Inuyasha: 'Naraku...! What are you planning by using a dead miko?!'
---- 17.
Naraku: "Kukuku... A miko is harder to handle than anyone else... Even in death, she resisted me..."
Naraku: "However..."
Naraku: "Hitomiko, it will be soon. Your heart is being tainted by the spider web, and soon you will do as I wish."
---- 18.
Naraku: "Hitomiko, there is one thing you must do."
Naraku: "There is a girl called Kagome..."
Hitomiko: "Kago... me..."
Naraku: "Hitomiko, take Kagome's power and kill her with your spiritual powers..."
preview: "The aim is... Kagome's life. Tainted and manipulated by Naraku, is Hitomiko an unprecedented threat to Kagome?!"
