Chapter 449[/u]
----
1.
Title: "Yamaarashi"
subtext: "They're so close, yet so far away..."
---- 2.
soldier: "Is it true what I heard that the forest from before melted away?" soldier: "Melted?" soldier: "It wasn't a fire?"
soldier: "The people who live nearby saw it. A black cloud hung over the mountain..."
soldier: "And then the forest just scattered away..." soldier: "Heeh?"
soldier: "I wonder if it was the work of a youkai." soldier: "Hn?"
soldier: "What's that? It's coming this way..."
---- 3.
Inuyasha: "Kikyou..." Kikyou: "I've purified the shouki, but... you should allow Houshi- dono to rest a little longer."
---- 4.
Inuyasha: "So you mean... Miroku will be okay?"
Miroku: "About my Kazaana... I would like for it to be kept between us, Kikyou-sama..."
Kikyou: "... Yes."
Sango: "Kohaku..." Kohaku: "Ane-ue, I understand."
---- 5.
Kohaku: "Everyone was fighting so that my shard wouldn't be used. Therefore..."
Kohaku: "I will not make my life be in vain. I promise."
Kouga: "Is it just me, or does he look like a dog begging for a favor from Kikyou?"
Kagome: 'I wonder what they're talking about. I know I can't just butt in between them...'
Kagome: '...tte eeh? He butted in?!' Kouga: "What's up? Let's go already."
---- 6.
Kikyou: "Right. We need to settle things quickly."
Inuyasha: "Settle things?" Kikyou: "The remains of Naraku's shouki... or something like it..."
Kikyou: "I sense movement about it. It is not something I can leave alone."
Sango: "You're going with Kikyou? Why?" Kohaku: "...."
Kohaku: "I wonder why... When I'm with Kikyou-sama..."
Kohaku: "I'm slowly becoming happier... It's as if... she's purifying my heart..."
---- 7.
Sango: "Purifying...?"
Sango: 'Of the suffering caused by slaying Father and the others...'
Sango: 'So staying near Kikyou... means he could be saved...?'
Kagome: "Kohaku-kun."
Kohaku: "Kagome-sama, thank you very much."
Kagome: "Eh?"
Kagome: "Kikyou! About Kohaku..."
---- 8.
Kikyou: "I understand. If he can be saved..."
Inuyasha: "This way!"
---- 9.
Shippou: "Why do I have to be with Kouga..." Kouga: "Aah? If you don't like it, you can get off."
Sango: "Houshi-sama, are you all right?"
Miroku: "I'm sorry, Sango. This time, I'm afraid..."
Miroku: "I won't return to normal." Sango: "I see." Shippou: "Good, looks like he's feeling better." Kouga: "Is that really all right?"
Inuyasha: "The scent is getting stronger! We're close!"
---- 10.
Kagome: "!"
Inuyasha: "Tessaiga!"
---- 11.
Sango: "These are..." Kagome: "You know, Sango-chan?"
Sango: "These aren't the main body. They're needles!"
Inuyasha: "Needles?!"
Sango: "Incoming!"
---- 12.
Kagome: "Wha?" Inuyasha: "There's a Kongousouha spear in its head..."
---- 13.
Sango: "It's the youkai Yamaarashi. It attacks by throwing the needles on its back."
Inuyasha: 'This thing... is dead?!'
Inuyasha: "It's been hit by a Kongousouha spear that Naraku threw down. Naraku's shouki is controlling it and making it move."
Sango: "Each one of the needles on its back is a separate entity. Those things are likely spreading the shouki."
---- 14.
Inuyasha: "!"
Shippou: "There's so many!" Kagome: "What an incredible shouki!"
Inuyasha: "Get back, Kagome! If a human gets bathed in it, they won't have a chance!"
---- 15.
Inuyasha: "KAZE NO KIZU!"
---- 16.
Shippou: "He did it!"
Inuyasha: "!"
Inuyasha: "Dammit, I missed some!" Miroku: "Then let's divide and conquer!"
Miroku: "Let's go, Sango!" Sango: "Right!"
---- 17.
Inuyasha: "Hey, Miroku, don't overexert yourself yet!"
Miroku: "! ... Right."
Kikyou: 'Houshi-dono, there still remain wounds etched by Naraku's shouki inside your body.'
Kikyou: 'When those wounds reach your heart, your life will be...'
---- 18.
Miroku: 'However... it's not like I can't use my Kazaana...'
Sango: "Houshi-sama, over there!"
Miroku: "!"
Miroku: "There's so many..." Sango: "There must be other Yamaarashi elsewhere!"
preview: "The Yamaarashi carrying Naraku's shouki wasn't the only one?! They should be an easy opponent for Miroku, however so soon after receiving shouki wounds from Naraku..."

Chapter 450
---- 1.
Title: "Array" (note: the title, "mure", just means "group", usually referring to animals, but since English has so many different terms for different groups of animals, "array" is the term for a group of hedgehogs)
subtext: "With this hand... I will protect you!!"
---- 2.
[slice, shoot, waah!]
---- 3.
Inuyasha: "It's strange. I've been taking them down in droves, but..."
Kagome: 'That's right! The retreating needles from the Yamaarashi... there aren't just a few of them...'
Kagome: "Inuyasha, could it be..."
Kagome: "That the main body of the Yamaarashi is somewhere else..." Inuyasha: "Yeah."
Sango: "Hiraikotsu!"
---- 4.
Miroku: "Hah!"
Sango: "!"
---- 5.
Miroku: "So there really were more of them!" Sango: "We'll take out both of them!"
Sango: "Hiraikotsu!"
---- 6.
Sango: "The needles are escaping!"
Miroku: "Ch..." Sango: "Houshi-sama?!"
Kikyou: 'Houshi-dono, when the wounds of shouki etched by Naraku reach your heart, your life will be...'
Miroku: 'However, if I don't use the Kazaana now, we won't be in time!'
---- 7.
Miroku: "Gnh..."
Miroku: 'It hurts a little, but... I'm fine!!'
Sango: "Houshi-sama! Don't exert yourself yet!"
Miroku: "These Yamaarashi..."
---- 8.
Miroku: "They were probably an array..." Sango: "Array?"
Miroku: "In the midst of battle, the Kongousouha spears that were thrown around..."
Miroku: "I think they rained down on the array of Yamaarashi on the ground, since it would explain their numbers."
Sango: "So you're saying... there's probably still many more?"
Miroku: "Yes, we should look for them." Sango: "Houshi-sama."
Sango: "Just promise me... that you won't use the Kazaana."
---- 9.
Miroku: 'Sango...' Miroku: "... Why?"
Sango: "Because you've only just been healed. You're still not completely back to normal, right?"
Miroku: "Right..." Miroku: 'Good, she still doesn't realize...'
Miroku: "The needles!"
Miroku: 'Besides, if the level of shouki remaining is merely those few needles from the Yamaarashi...'
---- 10.
Miroku: 'Looks like I can still use my Kazaana...'
Miroku: 'Wounds of shouki!'
---- 11.
Sango: "There it is!"
---- 12.
Miroku: "Dammit!"
Miroku: 'This one's... enormous!'
Sango: "My Hiraikotsu...!"
---- 13.
Miroku: "Sango, are you all right?" Sango: "Yes, I am... but Kirara..."
Miroku: "!"
Miroku: "We're surrounded..."
---- 14.
Kagome: "Hey, so this is the direction Miroku-sama went?" Inuyasha: "Yeah, I can smell them."
Kagome: "Kouga-kun." Kouga: "Kagome, I'll take care of all of the needles that escaped."
Kouga: "Then all that's left is to take care of the ones that are still here."
Kagome: "Take care of them? So many?" Kouga: "Yeah, their scent's getting stronger." Inuyasha: "Oi."
Inuyasha: "Don't just talk over my head!" Kouga: "You said it, Inukkoro."
---- 15.
Kagome: "I wonder if Miroku-sama and Sango-chan are all right." Inuyasha: "Yeah."
Inuyasha: "That damn Miroku..." Kikyou: 'I have purified the shouki, however you should allow Houshi- dono to rest a while longer.'
Inuyasha: "Something didn't sit right with me about that..."
---- 16.
[hedgehoooooog]
---- 17.
Kagome: "They came out of the ground!" Inuyasha: "Get back, Kagome!"
Miroku: "Hah!"
---- 18.
Sango: 'At this rate, we'll have to rely on Houshi-sama's Kazaana again...'
Miroku: "Sango?!"
Sango: 'I'll get Hiraikotsu...!'
Miroku: "Sango!"
preview: "Not wishing to defer responsibility, Sango runs ahead... What would happen to Miroku if he receives another wound of shouki?!"

Chapter 451
---- 1.
Title: "Valley of Shouki"
subtext: "Hurry!! To our friends!!"
---- 2.
Sango: 'I have to get Hiraikotsu back!'
---- 3.
Miroku: "Sango! Don't be reckless!"
Sango: "I'm fine! Just be careful of that other one!"
Miroku: "!"
---- 4.
Miroku: "!" Miroku: 'I'm out of hama-fuda!' (his sticky notes of doom)
Sango: 'I need to defeat the main body quickly!'

Sango: "Gah..."
Sango: "!"

Miroku: "Sango!"
Sango: "Ungh!"
Sango: "HIRAIKOTSU!"

Miroku: "She did it!"
Sango: "Houshi-sama!"
---- 8.
Miroku: 'Gah... it's being obstructed by the cliffs...'
Miroku: 'And the shouki built up before I knew it.'
Sango: "Houshi-sama!"
Miroku: "!"
Sango: "Wha?!"
---- 9.
Miroku: "Sango!"
Miroku: 'Another spear was hiding inside its body...'
---- 10.
Miroku: 'They're waiting for us to be weakened by the shouki... At this rate...'
Sango: 'Promise me! That you won't use the Kazaana.'
Miroku: "Sango..."
---- 11.
Miroku: 'If I use the Kazaana here, I wonder how much the wound of shouki will spread...?'
Miroku: 'Hmh, I've really done it... It seems I'd just become accustomed to my fear of the Kazaana, and when seeing a wound like this...'
Miroku: 'However...!'
---- 12.
Miroku: 'Relying on the Kazaana is all I can do!'
Miroku: "!"
---- 13.
Inuyasha: "Miroku! Sango! Are you all right?!"
Miroku: "Wha?"
---- 14.
Inuyasha: "KAZE NO KIZU!"
Miroku: "...."
---- 15.
Shippou: "What horribe shouki." Kagome: "I'll purify it."
Miroku: 'We're saved...'
Kagome: "Sango-chan!" Miroku: "She's fine. She's just unconscious."
Inuyasha: "Jeez, you were really giving me the chills there."
Miroku: "Now look..."
---- 16.
Miroku: "The one who had chills in his stomach was me! You put yourself in a dangerous place and could have been sucked into my Kazaana!" Inuyasha: "Aah?"
Inuyasha: "You dumbass." Kagome: "Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha: "You were going to open the Kazaana, weren't you! I TOLD you not to overdo yourself!"
---- 17.
Kouga: "Overedone or not, he would have had to use the Kazaana if we hadn't come in time." Shippou: "So what good was hitting him?" Kagome: "That's right, Inuyasha, sit!"
Sango: "Ooh..."
Kagome: "Sango-chan, you're awake!" Sango: "... Where's Houshi-sama...?"
Miroku: "It's all right. Everyone came to save us."
Sango: "I see. Thank goodness..."
---- 18.
Miroku: 'Even if my life is whittled away, there will come a time when I must open the Kazaana...'
Inuyasha: "You jerk, don't you want to go back to your pack?" Kouga: "Nope."
Miroku: 'Even so..."
Miroku: 'I have friends to depend on.'
preview: "He has people he wants to protect, and friends he can depend on. Therefore, even should a battle come that would whittle away his life, he will not falter."

Chapter 452
---- 1.
Title: "Spider Web"
subtext: "A new development!! Naraku spins another malicious plot..."
---- 2.
[blurpy blobby ugliness]
---- 3.
blob: "You've returned, Naraku..."
Naraku: "Hmph... though I didn't want to come back..."
---- 4.
blob: "Kukuku, I see. Before you left this place..."
blob: "Your human heart... you expelled your human heart with feelings for Kikyou,"
blob: "And with the collapse of this Mount Hakurei, you had it encased in the earth."
---- 5.
blob: "Therefore, Naraku, that you would return... why is that?"
Naraku: "At the time that I absorbed Mouryoumaru and the baby..."
Naraku: "Kikyou was there as well... even so..."
Naraku: "That woman wouldn't fire a single arrow at me."
Naraku: "It was as if she was waiting for some other opportunity... Also..."
---- 6.
Naraku: "I realized that..."
Naraku: "By staying near Kikyou, Kohaku's Shikon shard... was emitting a dreadfully pure light."
Naraku: "If I carelessly took such a pure shard, the taint in my Shikon no Tama would instantly be purified."
Naraku: "And such a pure Shikon no Tama would purify me at once. That is likely Kikyou's aim."
blob: "Kukuku, and so your human heart which you once discarded you now find necessary?"
---- 7.
blob: "To you, a human heart is nothing but a nuisance."
blob: "Unwanted feelings... selfish desires... and such worthless attachments..."
blob: "And when such a negative human heart concerns Kikyou... it would give your Shikon no Tama the power of darkness..."
Naraku: "And the ability to kill Kikyou... huh..."
---- 8.
blob: "And because of that... you wish to take ME back?"
---- 9.
Naraku: "A negative human heart... that's right, in order to kill Kikyou..."
---- 10.
Naraku: "That is the most appropriate weapon."
Naraku: "This negative heart binds Kikyou and myself..."
Naraku: "And Inuyasha as well..."
---- 11.
Kagome: "It's done!" Kouga: "But I just can't believe it."
Kagome: "Believe what, Kouga-kun?" Kouga: "Do you really stop every day to eat like this?"
Kouga: "With me, up until now I'd normally be running three days without stopping."
Miroku: "But we need rest, being humans and all." Sango: "Your companions must have been in pretty bad shape."
Inuyasha: "Jeez, day after day, he just won't shut up."
---- 12.
Inuyasha: "If you wanna run that much, go run a hundred laps."
Kagome: "Inuyasha, you come down here and eat, too." Inuyasha: "Keh, as if I'd want to breathe wolf-smelling air."
Kagome: "Come on, Inuyasha..."
Kagome: 'Kouga-kun has used his divine protection from the Yourouzoku ancestors, so there's no telling when his legs will stop moving.'
Kagome: "Don't you think it's better for us to be together?!"
---- 13.
Kouga: "I don't really mind being alone together with you, Kagome."
Inuyasha: "Get your"
Inuyasha: "Hands off her."
Kagome: "Inuyasha." Inuyasha: "I'll kill him."
Kagome: "Sit." Kouga: "Heh, serves you right." Shippou: "It's the new routine."
---- 14.
Inuyasha: 'If I have the Shikon no Tama... I'll become a real youkai!'
Kikyou: 'Inuyasha!'
---- 15.
Inuyasha: 'Kikyou!'
---- 16.
Inuyasha: "A dream..."
Inuyasha: 'It's been a long time... since I've dreamt of that...'
Inuyasha: 'Dammit, my heart hasn't slowed down yet...'
Inuyasha: 'Kikyou...'
---- 17.
Inuyasha: 'Where are you now...?'
Inuyasha: 'Are you in danger?'
Kagome: "Nn..."
Kagome: "Inuyasha?"
Kagome: 'I wonder if he can't sleep...'
Kagome: 'Eh?'
---- 18.
Kagome: 'What...?! Spider web...?!'
preview: "In order to kill Kikyou, Naraku takes back his negative heart. The spider webs encircle Inuyasha in an ominous evil plot..."

Chapter 453
---- 1.
Title: "Entwined Threads"
subtext: "Inuyasha and Kikyou ominously entwined in Naraku's sinister plot"
---- 2.
Inuyasha: "Spider web...?"
Kagome: "I only saw it for a moment, but..."
Kagome: "Inuyasha, is there anything the matter?"
Inuyasha: 'That dream...'
---- 3.
Inuyasha: 'A dream about when I was sealed by Kikyou fifty years ago. So that dream wasn't just by chance?'
Inuyasha: "it's... nothing really."
Kagome: "I see..." Kagome: 'He's averting his eyes...'
Kouga: "You ain't averting your eyes or nothing, right?" Shippou: "I saw it too."
---- 4.
Inuyasha: "You two shut up!" Miroku: "So you're thinking... it was some kind of youkai?" Kagome: "I suppose..."
Kagome: 'But those threads came from the sky...'
---- 5.
Kikyou: "Kohaku, you must not move. It would break the barrier." Kohaku: "Yes, Kikyou-sama."
Kohaku: 'Is Kikyou-sama watching something?'
Kohaku: 'While we're being protected by a barrier, the villagers are just going about their business...'
Kikyou: 'This thread...'
---- 6.
Kikyou: 'It doesn't seem to have any effect on the villagers.'
Kikyou: 'But I can sense it... At the end of these threads...'
Kikyou: 'Some sinister plot of Naraku's directed at me.'
---- 7.
woman: "Saki, let's go home." Saki: "Right, mom."
woman: "Saki?!"
Kikyou: "!"
---- 8.
woman: "Saki, what's wrong?! Hang in there..."
Kikyou: "Get back!"
woman: "Miko-sama...?"
Kikyou: 'Regardless, it seems to be an ulterior motive to get me in contact with the threads.'
Kikyou: 'By using some innocent girl...'
---- 9.
[butterfly troupe to the rescue!]
---- 10.
Kikyou: 'Was it purified...?'
Kikyou: 'Oh no!'
Kikyou: "!" Kohaku: "Kikyou-sama?!"
---- 11.
Kagome: "Over there! It looks like a bundle of threads coming from the sky!"
Inuyasha: "!" Inuyasha: 'Kikyou's scent...'
---- 12.
woman: "Y, yes, it was just now..."
woman: "My daughter suddenly collapsed, and the Miko-sama who was passing through healed her."
Kagome: 'Miko? Kikyou...'
woman: "And as if she was suddenly not feeling well, she got up and left."
Kagome: "Inuyasha!" Inuyahsa: "Gah..."
Inuyasha: 'Kikyou! You couldn't have gotten very far!'
---- 13.
Kikyou: 'Kohaku, you must stay away from me for a while. You'll be protected by the shikigami's barrier.'
Kikyou: 'Staying near me wouldn't be good for your Shikon shard.'
Kikyou: 'We can not allow your shard to attain even the slightest bit of impurity!'
Kohaku: 'Something... must be happening to Kikyou-sama.'
---- 14.
Kagome: "Sorry, Kouga-kun." Kouga: "I could do this forever!"
Shippou: "Say, you think that Miko they mentioned was Kikyou?" Miroku: "Probably." Sango: "Judging by Inuyasha's attitude, it's obvious."
Kouga: "Jeez, what a jerk. Leaving Kagome in the dust to go hang out with his old girlfriend." Shippou: "Kouga, you shouldn't say it like that!" Miroku: "But it's what you're always saying, Shippou."
Kagome: 'Inuyasha was hiding something... I'm sure it was something that had to do with the spider web...'
---- 15.
Inuyasha: 'Kikyou...'
Inuyasha: "!"
Kikyou: 'Gah, even though I purify it, I'm still entwined...'
---- 16.
Kikyou: 'Naraku...'
Kikyou: 'To show me such illusions now...'
Kikyou: 'You're trying to tarnish my heart... and draw me into your plot...'
Inuyasha: "Kikyou!"
Kikyou: "!"
---- 17.
Inuyasha: "Kikyou! What happened?!" Kikyou: 'Inuyasha...'
Kikyou: "Stay away, Inuyasha!" Kikyou: 'Can he... not see the threads?'
Inuyasha: "Kikyou!?"
---- 18.
Inuyasha: "Kikyou!"

Inuyasha: "Kikyou, hang in there! Kikyou!"
Kikyou: "Inu... yasha..."
Kikyou: "Get away from this place... the spider web will..."
Inuyasha: "Spider web?!"
---- 3.
Inuyasha: "!"
Inuyasha: "This is..."
Kikyou: "Naraku. He has probably realized..."
Kikyou: "That I intend to purify him with the pure Shikon no Tama... Therefore..."
---- 4.
Inuyasha: "Kikyou!" Kikyou: "His malice is flowing from these threads, trying to corrupt me..."
Inuyasha: "Don't talk any more. I'll save you now..."
---- 5.
Inuyasha: "Gah, no matter how much I cut, they keep ensnaring us."
Kikyou: 'It's useless... these threads can't be cut by a blade...'
Kagome: "Over there!"
---- 6.
Kagome: "Inuyasha, you're in there, right!"
Inuyasha: "! Kagome!"
Kikyou: "Kagome... can see the threads?"
Inuyasha: "Yeah, that's right."
---- 7.
Kouga: "What's she shooting at?" Sango: "The spider web..." Miroku: "... or something..."
Miroku: 'But it bothers me... Why is it only Kagome-sama can see it?"
Kikyou: "She's purifying the web outside the shrine..."
Kikyou: 'So Kagome can see the threads, too... is it because we share the same soul...?!'
Kikyou: 'No, it must be something else. If Naraku's objective is not only to corrupt me...'
---- 8.
Kagome: 'The web on the inside hasn't disappeared yet...'
Kagome: 'Inuyasha is in there... with Kikyou...'

Inuyasha: "Kagome..." Kikyou: "!"
Kikyou: "Don't touch the web!"
Kagome: "Eh..." Kagome: 'Kikyou...'

Kagome: "This is..."
Kagome: 'Inuyasha?!'
---- 12.
Kagome: "Inuyasha!"
Kagome: 'Kikyou...'
Kagome: 'This is... the Inuyasha and Kikyou of fifty years ago...'
---- 13.
Kagome: 'My chest hurts... something is being communicated to me through the threads...'
Kagome: 'This is... Kikyou's sadness...'
Kagome: 'But that isn't all...'
---- 14.
Kagome: 'A love as great as her sadness...'
Kagome: 'A bond between them that absolutely cannot be broken...'
Inuyasha: "Kagome..."
Inuyasha: "Are you all right...?"
---- 15.
Kagome: 'So they really were here together...'
Kagome: "Where's the spider web...?"
Inuyasha: "It disappeared at the same time you came in here. Didn't you purify it?"
Kikyou: "Meaning the threads... had finished their business..."
Kikyou: "Kagome... what did you see?"
Kagome: "Eh..."
---- 16.
Kagome: "...."
Kikyou: "... I can guess..."
Kikyou: 'So Kagome was taken by Naraku's web as well...?'
Kagome: "Kikyou, that wound..." Kikyou: "Yes, the wound of shouki I received from Naraku at Mount Hakurei..."
Inuyasha: "It widened because of the spider web... that damned Naraku..."
Kagome: 'Naraku?! Then what I saw before...'
Kagome: 'Naraku was showing it to me... But...'
---- 17.
Kagome: 'It wasn't a lie... I know that...'
Kagome: 'Also...' Kagome: "Kikyou, those wounds... I'll heal them."
Inuyasha: "Kagome..." Kikyou: "...."
Kagome: "I should be able to. I healed them before..."
Kikyou: "In that case, take my bow... and shoot this wound."
Kagome: "Eh..."
Inuyasha: "Kikyou?!"
---- 18.
Kikyou: "In order to purify this corruption, you must use my bow."
Kagome: "R, Right..."
Kagome: "Kya!"
Kagome: 'The bowstring snapped! Why?!'
preview: "Just as Kagome took hold of it, for some reason Kikyou's bowstring snapped. Has the only way to purify Kikyou now been lost?!"

Title: "Broken String"
subtext: "Kagome's trembling heart confronts Kikyou's complex feelings..."
---- 2.
Kagome: 'The string broke... What's going on?!'
Kikyou: "It's as I thought... Kagome, you are still being corrupted by Naraku's spider web..."
---- 3.
Kagome: 'Corrupted... Me?!'
Kikyou: "In the moment the threads had you in their grasp... you must have seen it..."
Kikyou: "Inuyasha and I fifty years ago... in our final moments..."
Inuyasha: 'So Kagome saw it, too...?!'
Kikyou: "Inuyasha and my fate... a moment you had no business being a part of."
Kagome: "But... but that's..."
---- 4.
Kagome: "It's something I've already known about!" Kikyou: "Yes. And even so... you purified Naraku's poison that was eating away at me..."
Kikyou: "Because of that, Naraku sent his web... to pour his malice directly into Kagome's heart, likely corrupting it..."
Kikyou: "The fact that my bowstring broke... means that Kagome does not currently have the power to purify me..."
Kagome: 'That's...!'
Kikyou: "This was Naraku's objective... to corrupt me and spread the wound of shouki..."
---- 5.
Kikyou: "And at the same time steal Kagome's purification powers..."
Kikyou: "And when I am completely stained in shouki, my weapon to destroy Naraku..."
Kikyou: "I will be unable to touch Kohaku's pure Shikon shard, for then the shard would become tainted..."
Kikyou: "Furthermore, that Kouga... has already lost the divine protection of his shards..."
Inuyasha: 'It's all connected...' Inuyasha: "So whatever shard he takes, it was all as Naraku thought..."

Kagome: "Isn't there some other way?! A way to help Kikyou!"
Inuyasha: "Kagome..." Kikyou: "...."
Sango: "You're going to get a bowstring...?"
Kagome: "Yeah... she said I could get one in the mausoleum on the mountain..."
Kouga: "Inukkoro's on a thin string as it is." Shippou: "Kagome walked in on them while he was meeting with Kikyou in secret... He's just shortened his life span."
---- 7.
Sango: "Kohaku... my brother isn't with you?"
Kikyou: "He's somewhere safe... in hiding."
Kikyou: "Therefore, I cannot move from here... And more than that, if I move too far away, the shikigami barrier protecting Kohaku will fail..."
Kagome: "..."
Kagome: "Inuyasha... you stay with Kikyou."
---- 8.
Inuyasha: "Eh..."
Kouga: "That's right. Kagome's gonna rely on me for transportation." Kagome: "Yeah."
Kagome: "That and..."
Kagome: "I don't really want to see your face for a while."
Kagome: "..."
Kagome: "I really am... corrupted, aren't I." Inuyasha: 'No, you don't seem any different from normal...'
---- 9.
Kouga: "Why the hell are you guys tagging along?" Miroku: "You heard, didn't you, Kouga?"
Miroku: "Going by what Kikyou-sama just said, it wouldn't be strange for him to come after your shards at some point." Sango: "Because of your legs, we don't know when you'll become able to move."
Kouga: "Heh, so you're my escort? You shouldn't underestimate me."
Kikyou: 'Ten leagues east of here, in the mausoleum on Mount Azusa...'
---- 10.
Kikyou: 'If you string my bow with the string found there, it will return to life... However, Kagome...'
Kikyou: 'Unless you truly wish to save me, you will be unable to see the string.'
Kagome: 'Why... does Kikyou always talk like she's testing me?!'
Kagome: 'Kikyou hates me... and even so..."
Kagome: 'Inuyasha always chooses her...' Inuyasha: "Kikyou... are you in pain?"
---- 11.
Kikyou: "No..." Kikyou: 'The shouki is spreading...'
Kohaku: "!"
Kohaku: 'The shikigami are disappearing... is Kikyou-sama's concentration weakening?!"
Kohaku: "!"
---- 12.
Kohaku: 'Naraku's poison insects...' Kohaku: "Saimyoushou!"
Byakuya: "I seeeeee yoooooou."
---- 13.
Kikyou: "Inuyasha, take me... to Kohaku..." Inuyasha: "Kikyou..."
Kohaku: "You're..." Byakuya: "Oh, this is the first time we've met."
Byakuya: "I am Byakuya of the Mirage."
Kohaku: 'Ane-ue told me about... Naraku's new incarnation!'
---- 14.
Byakuya: "Now come out. Even if I do nothing to that barrier, it looks like it'll break."
Asuka: "Run." Kohaku: "!"
---- 15.
Byakuya: "It's useless..."
Byakuya: "...."
Kikyou: "The shikigami have vanished..."
---- 16.
Inuyasha: "So Naraku is after Kohaku?!" Kikyou: "If Kohaku falls into Naraku's hands..."
Kikyou: 'I am unable to protect Kohaku as I am now... the shard will be tainted...'
Kohaku: "!" Byakuya: "You can't run away."
---- 17.
Kohaku: "Gah!"
Kohaku: "?!"
Byakuya: "Up here."
---- 18.
Byakuya: "So, shall we return? To Naraku..."
Inuyasha: 'Kohaku!'
preview: "Byakuya approaches Kohaku... Will Kikyou's trump card, the pure shard, fall into Naraku's hands?!"

Title: "Mount Azusa"
subtext: "The complex feelings building inside of Kagome"
---- 2.
Byakuya: "Give it up, Kohaku, you can't get away from Naraku."
Kohaku: "?!"
---- 3.
Byakuya: "It's the shouki's poison."
Byakuya: "Before I bring you back, I should corrupt your Shikon shard."
Byakuya: "?!"
---- 4.
---- 5.
Byakuya: "Sesshoumaru."
---- 6.
Byakuya: "Jeez, you startled me. What was that attack just now?"
Sesshoumaru: "Mouryoumaru's scent has disappeared... so the one who devoured him was Naraku."
Byakuya: ".... And?"
Byakuya: "Have you come to save Kohaku? It certainly doesn't look that way."
Sesshoumaru: "I just came to kill a nauseating stench. That is all."
---- 7.
Byakuya: "Well well..."
Byakuya: "Then I'll be on my way. I don't really like being killed in passing."
Rin: "Kohaku!"
Sesshoumaru: "Don't touch him, Rin."
---- 8.
Sesshoumaru: "Those are poisonous snakes."
Rin: "Jaken-sama got bitten." Sesshoumaru: "...."
Inuyasha: "!"
---- 9.
Inuyasha: 'Sesshoumaru was here...?'
Kikyou: "Where's... Kohaku...?"
Inuyasha: "He's gone. His scent stops here." Kikyou: "..."
Kikyou: "We have... to find him... If he's without the protection of my barrier..."
Kikyou: "The purity in his shard... won't last..."
---- 10.
Inuyasha: "Kikyou?!"
Inuyasha: "Your body... the shouki is spreading, isn't it!"
Kikyou: "I'm fine..."
Kikyou: 'However, unless Kagome brings the bowstring from the mausoleum...'
Kikyou: 'My body will decompose...'
---- 11.
Kikyou: 'Unless Kagome truly wishes to save me...'
Kagome: "So this is Mount Azusa..."
---- 12.
Shippou: "What a long stairway." Kouga: "Heh, this kind of thing..."
Kagome: "That's the mausoleum."
Kouga: "All right! I'll be there in an instant!"
---- 13.
Kikyou: "The mausoleum at Mount Azusa... is protected by a power without form."
Inuyasha: "Power without form?"
Shippou: "Hey, isn't this a little weird?" Sango: "Yeah, it's like we've been climbing forever."
Kouga: "Dammit, what's going on!"
---- 14.
Kagome: 'Even though we can still see it...'
Kagome: 'We haven't gotten any closer... Why?!'
Kikyou: 'Unless you truly wish to save me...' Kagome: "!"
Kagome: 'Is it my fault...? Am I somehow uncertain?'
Kagome: 'Even though thinking about Inuyasha and Kikyou hurts and angers me...'
Kagome: 'That's something that can't be helped! I'm not a god!'
---- 15.
Kagome: 'If I just permit evrything and don't think about anything... does that mean I'll be able to reach it?!'
Kagome: "?!"
Kagome: "That's...!" Kouga: "A youkai?!"
Kagome: "Mist!"
Kagome: 'I can't see anything...'
---- 16.
Kagome: "Ah!"
Kagome: "Where did everyone...?!"
Kagome: "!"
---- 17.
Kagome: 'A... human...?'
Kagome: 'It has no face...!?'
Inuyasha: "So this power without form..." Kikyou: "The mausoleum at Mount Azusa..."
Kikyou: "It could appear in the form of a god or a demon..."
---- 18.
Kikyou: 'The heart of the one looking at it chooses its form...'
Kagome: 'Kikyou?!'
preview: "Somehow, the ghost appears in the form of Kikyou... Seeking to obtain the bowstring, will Kagome have to resort to unusual methods...?!"

Shippou: "We're back at the bottom of the stairs." Kouga: "No shit, sherlock." (XD Okay, seriously it's just "I know that", but this is more the implication ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) ) Kouga: "Kagome's gone! No doubt that youkai got ahold of her!" Miroku: "Don't lose your composure, Kouga. This Mount Azusa is a sacred mountain." ---- 3. Miroku: "It's possible that... this mountain has accepted Kagome- sama inside..." Kagome: 'Just... who is this person?' Kagome: 'I'm sure it had no face before...' ---- 4. Kagome: 'So why is it now in the form of Kikyou...' spirit: "You... are tainted. You are wrapped in dirty spider webs." Kagome: "Eh..." Kagome: 'Naraku's spider webs are...?!' ---- 5. Kagome: "A bow..." spirit: "Take it. It must be what you came for." Kagome: "Eh?! It's okay?!" Kagome: "Um... thank you..." spirit: "Yes. As long as you truly wish to save that woman..." ---- 6. Kagome: "Hah. Hah. Hah." Kagome: 'I've got to bring the bow back.' Kagome: 'It's the same as when I came... no matter how far I go, I'm not making any progress...' Kagome: "! Mist!" Kagome: "Inuyasha!" Inuyasha: "Kagome, where are you!" ---- 7. Kagome: 'He came to get me...?' Inuyasha: "Kagome!" Kagome: "Wait, Inuyasha!" Kagome: "I'm right here! I've got the bow to save Kikyou, too..." Kagome: "Ah!" Kagome: "!" ---- 8. Kagome: 'Spider webs?! I can't move..." Kagome: "Inuyasha..." Kagome: 'Kikyou came too...' Inuyasha: "Hang in there, Kikyou! I'll find Kagome soon!" ---- 9. Kagome: 'Eh?!' Kagome: "Inuyasha, I'm right here!" Kagome: 'Can he not see me? Can he not hear me? Is it because of these spider webs?' Kikyou: "Inuyasha... It's... all right..." Inuyasha: "Kikyou?!" Kikyou: "Most likely, Kagome was... caught here on Mount Azusa..." Kikyou: "This mountain's spirit tests a person's heart..." Kikyou: "To determine whether the person is worth giving the bow to..." ---- 10. Inuyasha: "So Kagome isn't...?!" Kikyou: "Kagome is tainted by Naraku's spider webs. And even if she wasn't..." Kikyou: "To Kagome, I'm nothing but... a bitter rival who always enchants you away..." Inuyasha: "So you're saying... you don't think Kagome really intends to save you... I can't believe..." Kagome: "You're wrong, Inuyasha! I would never..." ---- 11. Kagome: "!" Kagome: 'Kikyou is looking at me! She's looking at me directly..." ---- 12. Kagome: "!" Inuyasha: "Kikyou, is that Mount Azusa?!" Inuyasha: "Just wait! We'll be there soon!" ---- 13. Inuyasha: "?!" Inuyasha: "Your bow broke..." Kikyou: "..." Kikyou: "Something has probably... happened to Kagome on Mount Azusa..." Inuyasha: "Wha..." Kikyou: 'The spirit of Mount Azusa tests a person's heart... and to do that...' ---- 14. Kikyou: 'It confuses the heart by showing it illusions... Kagome, so you've fallen into the spirit's trap...' Kagome: 'The bow is... heavy...?!' ---- 15. Kagome: 'My arm feels like it's going to be torn off...' Kikyou: "Give me... the bow..." Kagome: "Kikyou..." ---- 16. Kagome: "Call for Inuyasha! He's here with you, right?!" Kikyou: "This cliff is within the barrier that the spirit of Mount Azusa made... A hanyou like Inuyasha is unable to enter..." Kikyou: "Hurry and give it to me..." Kagome: "I can't! It's too heavy and I can't lift my arm!" Kikyou: "So you really do... wish for my death..." Kagome: "Wha..." ---- 17. Kagome: "Well don't you... have any intention of helping me, either?!" spirit: "Throw the bow away..." Kagome: "!" ---- 18. Kikyou: "The spirit of Mount Azusa... huh..." spirit: "Miko. You as well wish for the death of this girl. She is the one who stole your beloved man, after all." spirit: "Even you gave her the bow, this miko would abandon you, and choose to live along with that man..." spirit: "Therefore, throw the bow away." preview: "Kagome's heart is confused by the illusions of the spirit of Mount Azusa.

Title: "Illusion of Kikyou"
subtext: "Are these high-strung feelings jealousy? Or are they...?"
---- 2.
spirit: "Is there something holding you back?
spirit: "Girl, you must know."
spirit: "That miko hates you."
Kagome: 'I know that...'
---- 3.
spirit: "Then hurry and throw the bow away."
Kagome: 'That's right, even if I give her the bow and save her life, Kikyou...'
Kagome: '... has no intention of helping me.'
Kagome: 'Rather than saving Kikyou when she's like that...'
Kagome: 'If I throw the bow away... I'd be happy...'
Inuyasha: "Kagome went into the mountain alone?!" Miroku: "Yeah."
---- 4.
Miroku: "We were pushed back partway up."
Kouga: "Hey, Inukkoro! So Kagome's really in danger, huh?!"
Inuyasha: "...." Kikyou: "Put me down... Inuyasha..."
Inuyasha: "Kikyou..." Kikyou: "I have to wait here..."
Kikyou: 'The only one who can save me is Kagome... and...'
Kikyou: 'Whether she saves me or not...'
Kikyou: 'The choice is Kagome's alone.'
---- 5.
Kikyou: "It's fine if you abandon me. Everything that happens here..."
Kikyou: "Inuyasha will never see."
spirit: "That's right. Even if you abandon the miko, no one will blame you."
Kagome: 'Inuyasha would forgive me? But...'
---- 6.
Kagome: "!"
Kagome: 'She's laughing?!' Kagome: "Is... something funny?!"
---- 7.
Kikyou: "Right now you were thinking... that even if Inuyasha forgives you, you won't be able to forgive yourself, am I right?"
Kikyou: "Stop acting so big."
Kagome: 'Wha...'
Kikyou: "No matter how you sugar-coat your words, your heart is still filled with hatred and jealousy towards me."
Kikyou: "And even more, you... pretend to pity me."
---- 8.
Kagome: 'Pretend to pity?!' Kagome: "What... are you talking about?!"
Kikyou: "I followed after Inuyasha in death, and while you pity me as being a revived corpse..."
Kikyou: "You're irritated that you cannot sever that bond between Inuyasha and myself, and are therefore unsympathetic of me."
Kikyou: "And even with that hidden in your heart, you hold out your hand to me in feigned kindness."
Kikyou: "Did you honestly think... that I would cling to such false kindness?!"
Kagome: "Ohh, why you...!"
---- 9.
Kagome: "Just shut up, idiot! I can't take you anymore!"
Sango: "What was that just now... it was like the mountain stirred..." Miroku: "Yes, the atmosphere has changed..."
Inuyasha: "Kagome..."
---- 10.
Kouga: "No matter how hard you try, you're just too slow! I'll go..."
Inuyasha: "Wait, Kouga!"
Inuyasha: "I'll go."
Kouga: "Aah? Aren't you the one in charge of Kikyou?"
Inuyasha: "This must be... something that only I can do."
---- 11.
Inuyasha: 'Kagome!'
Kikyou: "You can't take me... huh..."
Kikyou: "Then what will you do?"
Kagome: "I've just been quiet and listening while you've been saying whatever you want! What's the matter with you?!"
---- 12.
Kagome: "Is what you have to say more important than what I do?! If there's this strong bond between you and Inuyasha, isn't that good enough?!"
Kagome: "You may always look down on me, but isn't it true that you're actually afraid of me?!"
Kikyou: "I fear you...?"
Kagome: "That's right! Between you and Inuyasha..."
Kagome: "There's a past that I absolutely cannot come between, and I understand that! However!"
---- 13.
Kagome: "But there's time that I've spent with Inuyasha, too! I've seen a lot in Inuyasha that you've never known!"
Kagome: 'That's right, I... know Inuyasha how Kikyou's never known him...'
Kikyou: "So you're saying... we're equals?"
Kagome: "That's right... we're in the same position. That's why..."
---- 14.
Kagome: "It's not necessary... for me to be afraid and abandon you..."
Kagome: "!"
Kagome: 'The bow got lighter!'
Kagome: 'What's going on?! It was so heavy up until now...'
---- 15.
spirit: "You were already able to lift it on your own. The miko cannot kill you."
Kagome: "..." spirit: "So, what will you do with the bow?"
Kagome: "I feel refreshed being able to say what I wanted to. Kikyou can decide the rest."
Kagome: 'Kikyou, why are you so quiet?'
---- 16.
Kagome: "!"
Kagome: 'Spider webs!'
---- 17.
Kagome: 'It's not Kikyou?!'
spirit: "Girl, that was... an illusion of the miko that your heart had created."
Kagome: "!"
spirit: "The dirty spider webs that have held you... are broken."
---- 18.
spirit: 'Save the miko with that bow.'
Kagome: "Kyaaa!"

Inuyasha: "Dammit..."
Inuyasha: "Wha..."
---- 3.
Inuyasha: "Kagome!"
Inuyasha: "Kagome..."
---- 4.
Inuyasha: "!"
Inuyasha: "Kagome, the bow... you were able to get it..."
Kagome: 'That Kikyou was... an illusion that my heart created...'
Kagome: 'So I was... fighting against an illusion...'
Inuyasha: "Kagome!" Kagome: "Inu... yasha...?"
---- 5.
Kagome: "Are you really... the real Inuyasha...?"
Inuyasha: "...? Yeah... Are you all right?"
Kagome: "Yeah..." Kagome: 'He came for me...'
Kagome: "!"
Kagome: "That's..."
Kagome: "Naraku's spider webs?!"
Inuyasha: "Wha..." Kagome: "Inuyasha, let's hurry!"

Miroku: "Is... something coming?"
Kikyou: "Kou... ga... run..."
Sango: "Kikyou..."
Kouga: "Heh, like I'd do that! I'm picking up Naraku's scent! Bastard's getting close..."
Kikyou: "Don't you understand...?"
---- 7.
Kikyou: 'He's... already here... So can the others not see these threads?'
Miroku: "!"
---- 8.
Miroku: "Kikyou-sama!"
Miroku: "Spider webs?!"
Miroku: "Is Naraku at the end of them...?!"
Miroku: "Gah..."
Sango: "Houshi-sama!" Shippou: "Does he intend to use his Kazaana?!"
Sango: "Don't! If you absorb Naraku's shouki..."
Naraku: "Kukuku..." (cue Naraku's theme music)
---- 9.
Miroku: "!"
Inuyasha: "!!"
---- 10.
Kagome: "Everyone..." Inuyasha: "That damn Naraku..."
---- 11.
Sango: "Ugh..."
Kikyou: "Why... With your legs, you should have been able to escape the web..."
Kouga: "Heh! Well don't you say the damndest things!"
---- 12.
Kouga: "Kikyou, your goal was to hand over the shards in my legs to Naraku! By borrowing the power of that ancient miko Midoriko, right!"
Kikyou: 'The situation has changed... Right now I'm tainted by Naraku's spider webs and don't have the power to purify him...'
Kikyou: 'That and... our last ray of hope, the purity of Kohaku's shard, won't last... on the contrary...'
Kikyou: 'If only... I knew where Kohaku was now...'
Miroku: "We're falling!"
---- 13.
Miroku: "Kikyou-sama!"
Kouga: "Gah!"
Kouga: "!"
---- 14.
Naraku: "Kukuku..." (oh good, he has clothes now)
Miroku: "Naraku!"
---- 15.
Naraku: "What a dreadful state you're in, Kikyou. Not only are you being broken down by shouki..."
Naraku: "But have you lost your bow as well?"
Naraku: "Kukuku, what's the matter? How do you feel about facing death in the arms of the one you hate..."
Naraku: "How pitiful, Kikyou. Though you are on the verge of death..."
Naraku: "Your beloved Inuyasha is with Kagome."
Miroku: "Naraku, you bastard!" Sango: "Houshi-sama!"
---- 16.
Naraku: "Do you intend to open your Kazaana and suck in Kikyou as well?"
Miroku: "Gah..."
Kouga: "Stand back, monk! If you open up that Kazaana, all you'll do is start coughing up blood again!"
Kouga: "Naraku, I'll kill you today!"
Naraku: "Kukuku, with those legs that you never know when they'll stop moving...?"
---- 17.
Kouga: "Shut up!"
Kikyou: 'Why... did Naraku not have us battle him back where we were...?'
---- 18.
Kikyou: 'He pulled us away from Mount Azusa, and from Inuyasha and Kagome...' Kagome: "That way! I can sense Shikon shards!"
Kikyou: 'Is it because... Kagome was able to receive the bow?! And break off Naraku's malicious spider webs?!'
Inuyasha: 'Wait for us, everyone! We're coming now!'

subtext: "Fifty years have passed and feelings have become complicated..."

Miroku: "Kouga, don't get caught!"
Miroku: "Not until Inuyasha and Kagome-sama get here!" (So... it's okay if he gets caught then? ^_^*)
---- 3.
Kouga: "Heh! Who knows when he'll get here, so you think I'd rely on that Inukkoro?!"
Kouga: "!"
Miroku: "Does he intend to encase him?!"
Kouga: "Whoa there!"
---- 4.
Naraku: "Kukuku... I wonder how long you'll be able to run..."
Kikyou: 'Kouga, you fool... at this rate your Shikon shards will be taken and you'll die pointlessly...'
Kikyou: "?!"
Kikyou: 'That's...!?'
---- 5.
Kikyou: 'The shards in Kouga's legs are...'
Kikyou: 'They're being purified by an incredibly powerful force.'
Kikyou: 'This is... the will of Midoriko's soul?!'
Kikyou: 'That's right, now that I am unable to use Kohaku's pure shard... Kouga's shard can be used in its place...'
---- 6.
Kikyou: 'If Naraku takes in Kouga's shards now, I'd be able to vanquish him right here!'
Kikyou: 'And Naraku hasn't realized that yet!'
Naraku: "Kukuku, look well, Kikyou. The Shikon no Tama is one step closer to completion and you can't do a thing about it."
Kikyou: "Hmph..."
Kikyou: "In that case, you'd better hurry... Inuyasha and Kagome will be here soon."
Naraku: "What...?"
---- 7.
Kikyou: "Naraku, you intentionally pulled us away from the base of Mount Azusa, because you thought that staying there would be dangerous..."
Kikyou: "You must have realized... that Kagome has already broken free of your malicious spider webs."
Kagome: "Inuyasha, I... was tested on Mount Azusa by an illusion of Kikyou..." Inuyasha: "Illusion?"
Kagome: "Yes, an illusion. And illusion created by my heart."
---- 8.
Kagome: "It was... a very frightening and unpleasant Kikyou." Inuyasha: "...."
Kagome: "But that's how Kikyou was before. Right after she was resurrected with a body of bone and grave soil, and hated me and wanted to kill you."
Inuyasha: "Kagome... Kikyou isn't like she was then anymore."
Kagome: "Yeah... I know that. It just meant that that's how I saw her."
Kagome: "Therefore... I'm sort of mad at myself." Inuyasha: "Why, over something like that?"
Kagome: ".... 'Something like that'..."
---- 9.
Inuyasha: "You still wanted to save Kikyou, anyway, right? So that means your heart is strong and clear!"
Kagome: 'I... guess that's true...' Inuyasha: "Let's hurry! In the meantime, I'm getting worried about that idiot Kouga."
Naraku: "You say... Kagome has broken free of my spider webs...?"
Naraku: "Why do you think that?"
Kikyou: "Because you and I are connected by your spider webs."
---- 10.
Kikyou: "Therefore, I know. Kagome isn't at the end of your spider webs." Naraku: "Hmph..."
Kouga: "!"
Miroku: "Shouki!"
---- 11.
Kouga: "Gah!"
Kouga: "!"
Kouga: 'It's here! My legs won't move!'
---- 12.
Naraku: "Kukuku, how foolish, Kouga... You knew that much, yet you still came near me..."
Kikyou: 'That's right, Naraku. Touch Kouga's shards just like that.'
Kikyou: 'Naraku, Kouga's shards will purify you... and through the threads that connect us, me as well.'
---- 13.
Kikyou: 'When my power returns, Midoriko and I will purify Naraku, and save Kouga's life as well.'
Kikyou: 'Naraku, I will not die. You think I'd die while grasped in your filthy arms?!'
Kikyou: 'Inuyasha, hurry...'
---- 14.
Kikyou: 'He touched it!'
---- 15.
Naraku: "Ugh..."
Kouga: "?!"
Miroku: "Kouga!"
Miroku: "We have to get to Kikyou-sama!"

---- 17.
Miroku: "Kikyou-sama!" Sango: "Kikyou!"
Naraku: "Kukuku, that's right, Kikyou... you and I are connected by the spider webs."
Naraku: "Therefore, I could sense it... The hatred and disdain for me..."
Naraku: "And your lingering attachment to Inuyasha."
---- 18.
Kikyou: 'Inu... yasha...'
Naraku: "I told you Kikyou... while you are apart from Inuyasha, you will die in the arms of I whom you hate."

Kagome: 'She... doesn't want me to shoot yet?! Why...'

Kagome: "Kouga-kun..." Kagome: 'The shards in his legs are being purified!'

Inuyasha: "I won't let that happen!"
---- 7.
Naraku: "Hmph, dragon-scaled Tessaiga, huh...?"
---- 8.
Naraku: "Have you forgotten...? You weren't even able to cut through Mouryoumaru's armored shell. If you think you can cut through me, who absorbed him..."
Inuyasha: "Shut up!"
---- 9.
Kagome: "He cut him?!"
Naraku: "Hmph..."
---- 10.
Miroku: "No good! He returned to normal." Shippou: "The source of his youki... so cutting the youketsu won't work?!"
Naraku: "Kukuku, do you understand? With a sword like yours..."
Naraku: "!?"
---- 11.
Naraku: "!"
---- 12.
[omg I am exploded!]
---- 13.
Kagome: "That darkness is..." Kouga: "The inside of Naraku's body."
Sango: "So does this mean that the dragon-scaled Tessaiga worked?!"
Miroku: "That and... Kouga's shards."
Miroku: "It's likely that the effect from touching Kouga's shards earlier and being purified... still remains."
Kagome: "!" Kagome: 'That's... the Shikon no Tama!'
---- 14.
Kagome: "Inuyasha, the Shikon no Tama is... inside his body!"
Inuyasha: "I'll cut you along with the jewel!"
Naraku: "Kh!"
---- 15.
Inuyasha: "!"
Inuyasha: "Kikyou!"
Inuyasha: "Gah!"
---- 16.
Naraku: "Kukuku..."
Miroku: "He's... closing his body!"
Kagome: "Kouga-kun!"
Kouga: "The shards in my legs can purify Naraku, right?!"
---- 17.
Kouga: "Even though in the end it's doing exactly what Midoriko's soul wanted, which pisses me off!"
Miroku: "If things go as he plans..."
Miroku: "When he touches Kouga's shard, Naraku and the jewel will be purified."
---- 18.
Kagome: 'The aura of the Shikon no Tama coming from Naraku has disappeared?!' Kagome: "Stop! Kouga-kun!"
preview: "Kouga leaps into the jaws of death, did Naraku expect this and lay a trap?!"

Chapter 462
---- 1.
Title: "The Jewel's Location"
subtext: "Kagome has noticed something terribly wrong... What will happen to Kouga's shards?!"
---- 2.
Hakkaku: "Ah man, that damned Kouga... where is he now...?"
Hakkaku: "Hey, you think he might have just ditched us?" Ginta: "Huh?"
Kouga: 'Take the kids back to the Yourouzoku pack.'
Kouga: 'The most dangerous place to be is around me! You two are just a nuisance!'
Ginta: "Hmph, I think he was just bluffing."
Hakkaku: "You said it! Without us around..." Ginta: "He can't do anything."
---- 3.
Hakkaku: "Hm?"
Hakkaku: "Do you... smell something? Ginta: "Yeah... this is..."
Ginta: "Naraku's scent..."
Hakkaku: "Sh... should we go?" Ginta: "Y, yeah, sure... Kouga's probably there."
Ginta: "Y, you just wait for us, Kouga..." Hakkaku: "We won't let you leave us behind..."
---- 4.
Kagome: "Stop, come back, Kouga-kun! Naraku isn't carrying the Shikon no Tama!"
Kouga: "What?!"
---- 5.
Naraku: "Kukuku, it's already too late..."
Miroku: "What's going on, Kagome-sama?" Kagome: "It vanished."
Kagome: "The corrupted Shikon no Tama... I'm sure that right up until now, it was inside of Naraku's body!"
Kagome: "At this rate, if Kouga-kun goes into Naraku's body..."
---- 6.
Kagome: "The shards in his legs will be corrupted instead, and he'll be absorbed by Naraku!"
Inuyasha: "Damn..."
Kikyou: "Inu... yasha..."
Inuyasha: "Kikyou!"
---- 7.
Kikyou: "Go... Save Kouga..."
Inuyasha: "Kikyou, you're..." Kikyou: "Go... Hurry..."
Inuyasha: "I understand. I'll come back soon."
Kikyou: "Right..."
Kouga: "Gah..."
Kouga: "I'll tear you apart from the inside!"
---- 8.
Kouga: "Prepare yourself!"
Kagome: 'The part that was touching Kouga-kun was purified.'
---- 9.
Kagome: 'However...'
Naraku: "Kukuku... it's only a matter of time."
Kouga: "!"
Kouga: "Gahah!" Kouga: 'Shouki!'
Kagome: "Kouga-kun!"
---- 10.
Naraku: "Kukuku... that's as far as you go, Kouga..."
Miroku: "Naraku!"
Miroku: "Sango, back me up." Sango: "Houshi-sama..."
---- 11.
Kagome: "Miroku-sama!"
Inuyasha: "!"
Naraku: "Kukuku... monk, what use do you think your Kazaana would have now?"
Naraku: "Before you could suck me up, you'd be poisoned by the shouki and would collapse coughing up blood... It's useless."
Miroku: "It isn't useless! KAZAANA!"
---- 12.
Naraku: "Hmph."
Naraku: "You fool. All you're sucking up is shouki..."
Miroku: "That's... good enough!"
---- 13.
Kouga: "!"
Kouga: 'The shouki is being sucked away...'
Kouga: "Gah..."
Kouga: "GORAISHI!"
Miroku: "All right!" Sango: "Houshi-sama, you can't take any more than that!"
---- 14.
Inuyasha: "Miroku, that's enough!"
---- 15.
Miroku: "Inuyasha..."
Miroku: "Ugh..." Miroku: 'The wound has spread...'
Sango: "Houshi-sama?!" Miroku: "I'm... fine, Sango..."
Inuyasha: "So you're alive, wimpy wolf." Kouga: "Heh. Like I'd die that easily."
Inuyasha: "Then hurry up and get out of there!"
Kouga: "... Oh shut up..."
--- 16.
Inuyasha: "?! Kouga?!"
Inuyasha: "!"
Inuyasha: 'His legs are... fused with Naraku?!'
---- 17.
Kagome: "Kouga-kun!" Kagome: 'His shards have turned black!?'
Kagome: 'There's no time anymore! Where is Naraku's jewel?!'
Kagome: 'Where?! Even with my power, I can't see it!'
---- 18.
Kagome: 'Help me out here, Kikyou!'
Kagome: 'It can't be...'
preview: "Kouga has begun to be absorbed along with his shards. The only way to defeat Naraku is to shoot the jewel itself, but the place where it's hidden is..."
