Chapter 508[/b]
---- 1.
Title: "The Miko's Barrier"
subtext: "Manipulated by Naraku, the miko Hitomiko attacks Kagome!"
---- 2.
villager: "Hitomiko-sama's shrine is covered in spiderwebs!" Inuyasha: "It's saying 'Come and get me'."
villager: "Please... if you could at least just return Hitomiko-sama's corpse..." Inuyasha: "Yeah..."
---- 3.
Inuyasha: "!"
villager: "Uwaah, webs!" Miroku: "Get back!"
Sango: "Hiraikotsu!"
---- 4.
Shippou: "Oh, Hiraikotsu is working!" Miroku: "Hiraikotsu did break through Naraku's body of poison. It's natural it would be able to cut through the spiderwebs as well..."
Sango: "!"
---- 5.
Inuyasha: "Hitomiko..."
Hitomiko: "You fool... I am not a youkai..."
---- 6.
Kagome: "Even if we destroy the spiderwebs, it's useless!"
Miroku: "Meaning that Hitomiko herself erected a miko's barrier."
Hitomiko: "Correct... A miko's barrier can only be broken by a miko."
Miroku: "Miko..."
Kagome: 'That's...'
---- 7.
Kagome: 'A bell...'
Kagome: 'Those bells are serving as markers for the barrier.'
Kagome: 'If I shoot down even one of those markers... the barrier will be destroyed.'
---- 8.
Kagome: 'I hit it...'
---- 9.
Hitomiko: "They're connected."
Kagome: 'Eh...?!'
Inuyasha: "Kagome?!"
Kagome: 'I'm being pulled in!'
---- 10.
Kagome: "!"
Kagome: 'Hitomiko...'
---- 11.
Hitomiko: "I don't understand... what point is there to steal this level of spiritual power?"
Kagome: 'Eh...?'
Hitomiko: "The man who stole my life and resurrected me... told me to take your power and your life..."
Kagome: 'The man... Naraku!'
---- 12.
Inuyasha: "Kagome!" Miroku: "She vanished..."
Inuyasha: "Dammit!"
Hitomiko: 'A miko's barrier can only be broken by a miko...' Miroku: "So she took Kagome-sama, the only one who can use a miko's power..."
Inuyasha: "That bastard Naraku, he was after Kagome all along!"
---- 13.
Kagome: "Hitomiko-sama, I... came here to help you."
Hitomiko: "Help me? You?"
Hitomiko: "Ridiculous."
Kagome: "Aah!"
---- 14.
Kagome: 'Blood...'
Hitomiko: "That blood is like a cage. You are no longer able to move from that spot."
Kagome: "Wha..."
Kagome: 'I... I can't move?!'
---- 15.
Kagome: "!"
Kagome: 'Naraku!!'
---- 16.
Kagome: 'Naraku! You were spying on us from there!'
Kagome: 'While you were hiding in the shadow of the miko you killed...'
Kagome: "You... You coward!"
---- 17.
Hitomiko: 'She moved?!'
Kagome: 'He escaped...'
---- 18.
Hitomiko: "I understand now what that man meant... when he said I must steal your power..."
Hitomiko: "No... not your power..."
Hitomiko: "That bow... the heavy presence within that bow causes that man fear..."
Kagome: 'The heavy presence within the bow... Kikyou?!'
preview: "Naraku's true fear is Kikyou's presence infused into the bow?! Next issue, heightening danger...?!"

Chapter 509[/b]
---- 1.
Title: "The Bow's Spiritual Power"
subtext: "The spirit infused within Kagome's bow even now..."
---- 2.
Hitomiko: "That bow is..."
Hitomiko: "No... even though you hold that bow, it does not suit you."
Kagome: "Wha... What was that?!"
Kikyou: 'The bow... it's... yours now...'
---- 3.
Kagome: 'In Kikyou's final moments...'
Kagome: 'I'm sure that's what she said.'
Kagome: 'However, this bow isn't something Kikyou ever used in the first place.'
Kagome: 'Since Kikyou's bowstring was broken and her bow became useless, I went to Mount Azusa to get a replacement bow...'
Kagome: 'Kikyou... died without ever firing it. After that, it was entrusted to me...'
---- 4.
Hitomiko: "Rather than you, that bow truly belongs to someone else. Someone who knows how to use it properly."
Kagome: "Use it properly?! What do you mean?!"
Hitomiko: "You merely shoot it. It's like you're not using its spiritual power."
Hitomiko: "And you think you can save me like that? From that man who killed and resurrected me?"
---- 5.
Kagome: 'What Naraku is afraid of...'
Kagome: 'Is simply Kikyou's presence infused in this bow... Not me?!'
Hitomiko: "Discard that bow and leave this place. If you do that..."
Hitomiko: "In return, I will at least be able to spare your life."
Kagome: 'Is she really saying that...? Or is Naraku making her say it...?'
---- 6.
Kagome: "!"
Naraku: "Letting Kagome escape... huh. Very well."
Kagome: "Naraku!" Kagome: 'Where is he?!'
Hitomiko: "Don't... fire an arrow in vain..."
Naraku: "That's right... If you're going to shoot..."
---- 7.
Naraku: "Shoot here."
Kagome: "!"
---- 8.
Kagome: 'A spider inside her chest... So the source of the web is Hitomiko...?!'
Naraku: "Now, shoot her, Kagome... If you do, Hitomiko will die completely,"
Naraku: "And only you will be saved."
Kagome: "Get real, Naraku! Who would ever do what you say!"
---- 9.
Kagome: "!"
Hitomiko: "In that case... You must die..."
---- 10.
Kagome: "Kh..."
Kagome: "!"
Hitomiko: "I told you. You cannot move from the cage of blood..."
Kagome: "!"
---- 11.
Kagome: "Gah."
Naraku: "Kukuku... Do you shoot her... to save your own life..."
---- 12.
Kagome: 'The spell has broken!'
Hitomiko: "It's useless."
---- 13.
Naraku: "Kukuku... you won't be able to escape from Hitomiko's barrier." Kagome: "Naraku!"
Naraku: "The only way to escape is to destroy Hitomiko. Will you be killed by Hitomiko without a fight? Or will you..."
---- 14.
Naraku: "Escape by shooting through the spider nesting in Hitomiko's chest... Both means to the same end."
Naraku: "However, I'll tell you this much. Kagome, even if you destroy Hitomiko with your holy arrow..."
Naraku: "She will not be saved." Kagome: "!"
Naraku: "The soul of a dead miko who has become a monster... will burn in the flames of Hell for eternity along with my spider webs. Just remember that."
---- 15.
Naraku: "And even now knowing that, if you still shoot her, your heart will become tainted with regret."
Kagome: "You sure... told me a lot."
Naraku: "Kukuku, it's all the same to me. Either you get killed by Hitomiko without a fight, or you cast Hitomiko into Hell in favor of your own life, and taint your heart."
---- 16.
Kagome: "!"
Kagome: 'Blood?!'
Kagome: "!"
---- 17.
Hitomiko: "These flames are... the blood you have spilled..."
Hitomiko: "They are connected to you... If you get too close, you'll burn up..."
Kagome: 'Now... what do I do...'
Kagome: 'But... if I use the bow and fight, Hitomiko won't be saved...?'
---- 18.
Hitomiko: 'You merely shoot it. It's like you're not using its spiritual power.'
Kagome: "!"
Kagome: 'Back then, was Hitomiko... trying to tell me something?!'
Kagome: 'If I use the bow properly... I can save her?!'
preview: "With nowhere to run and a decision ahead of her, Kagome is cornered! However, is the key to saving Hitomiko really the bow?! What next?!"

Chapter 510
---- 1.
Title: "Hell" (the term used here is "jigoku", while the Hell Sesshoumaru went to was "meikai". I don't really know what the difference is, or if it's merely semantics such as "Hell", "underworld", "Hades", etc)
subtext: "Shoot it apart! With your strong heart..."
---- 2.
Inuyasha: "Daah!"
---- 3.
Shippou: "Even the barrier-breaking red Tessaiga can't break it?" Inuyasha: "Dammit..."
Inuyasha: 'Kagome...'
Kagome: "Hah. Hah."
---- 4.
Hitomiko: "Don't you remember me telling you it's useless no matter where you run?"
Hitomiko: "Choose... Do you die like this..."
Hitomiko: "Or do you shoot through the spider nesting in my chest, casting me into Hell and leaving only you alive...?"
Kagome: "There... has to be some other way!"
---- 5.
Kagome: 'That's right, Naraku is...'
Kagome: 'trying to make me shoot the spider in Hitomiko's chest.'
Kagome: 'That's why I definitely must not shoot her. If I'm saved from this place...'
Kagome: 'by sacrificing Hitomiko to save myself, my heart will be tainted... Then I won't be able to escape Naraku's tainted spider webs.'
Naraku: "You're being too soft on her, Hitomiko..."
Naraku: "Make Kagome suffer more."
Naraku: "Make her hate you, and soon she will become willing to shoot..."
---- 6.
Kagome: "!"
---- 7.
Kagome: "Is this... an illusion?"
---- 8.
Hitomiko: "It's not an illusion."
Hitomiko: "It's Hell."
Kagome: "Ugh..."
Hitomiko: "You may as well descend here with me..."
---- 9.
Kagome: "Stop!"
Kagome: "This hand... it's like a youkai's..."
Hitomiko: "I am no longer a miko... I am like a phantom..."
---- 10.
[man, Sesshoumaru's trip to Hell was way cooler than this]
---- 11.
Kagome: "Aah!"
Kagome: "It's hot...!"
Hitomiko: "Does it hurt... These are the flames of Hell that should have burned me."
Hitomiko: "These flames do not burn your body. Therefore... you are tortured by flames for eternity..."
Kagome: 'Help me...'
Hitomiko: "Kukuku... You don't know your body's limits..."
---- 12.
Hitomiko: "You have no power, and yet you dare to say that you can save me..."
Kagome: "Khh..."
Kagome: 'If I shoot that spider... things will get better...'
---- 13.
Hitomiko: 'It's like you just shoot it.... You're not using its spiritual powers at all...'
Kagome: 'I just shoot it...'
Hitomiko: "Shoot me."
Hitomiko: "Then things will get better..."
---- 14.
Hitomiko: "You're not shooting... You fool..."
Hitomiko: "You choose to be tortured by the flames..."
Kagome: "..."
Kagome: 'Back when this hand was clutching my neck...'
Kagome: 'There was an intense feeling coming from it... Fear... No, it was...'
---- 15.
Kagome: 'Yes... a deep sadness...'
Kagome: 'I can't let her be in a place like this...'
---- 16.
Hitomiko: "Please shoot..."
Kagome: "I won't shoot..."
Kagome: "!"
Hitomiko: "It's okay. Please, shoot."
Kagome: 'Her face... returned to normal...?'
Kagome: "!" Kagome: 'Her hand also... became human...'
---- 17.
Kagome: "But... you'll be burned..."
Hitomiko: "Look closely..."
Kagome: 'Look... at what...?'
---- 18.
Kagome: 'Naraku!'
Kagome: 'I can see through her...'
Kagome: 'But, right behind her is... so then...'
Hitomiko: "Please, shoot through me."
preview: "Appearing right behind Hitomiko is Naraku without a doubt... however! Can Kagome shoot Hitomiko?!"

Chapter 511
---- 1.
Title: "Kagome's Spiritual Power"
subtext: "The enemy she must fight is before her eyes... however...!?"
---- 2.
Hitomiko: "It's all right, please shoot."
---- 3.
Hitomiko: "If you don't shoot now, you will never be able to escape this Hell."
Naraku: "Kukuku, what will you do, Kagome..."
Naraku: "In order to shoot me, you'd have to go through Hitomiko's body. However, at the same time..."
Naraku: "It would mean that you sacrificed Hitomiko to save yourself. Your regretful heart will be bound by my spider webs."
---- 4.
Hitomiko: "You know what you must shoot. Look carefully..."
Hitomiko: "And believe..."
Kagome: 'Please give me strength...'
---- 5.
Kagome: 'The one that I must shoot...'
Kagome: 'Is Naraku!'
Naraku: 'She fired...'
---- 6.
Kagome: 'The arrow disappeared?!'
---- 7.
Naraku: "!"
Naraku: "Wha...!"
---- 8.
[your head a-splode]
---- 9.
Kagome: 'The arrow... passed right through Hitomiko...?'
Kagome: 'This is... the bow's spiritual power!!'
---- 10.
Inuyasha: "!"
Sango: "The spider webs are disappearing!" Miroku: "The barrier has fallen!"
---- 11.
Kagome: "Ooh..."
Kagome: "Huh...?"
Kagome: "!" Hitomiko: "It's over..."
Hitomiko: "You are... a mystery."
Kagome: "Eh...?"
---- 12.
Hitomiko: "It's true that you used the bow's spiritual power... and shot and destroyed evil, thus saving me. However..."
Hitomiko: "It's strange... back when you fired that arrow..."
Hitomiko: "I didn't sense any spiritual power to use the bow coming from you."
Kagome: "...?"
---- 13.
Kagome: "!"
Kagome: "Hitomiko-sama..."
Hitomiko: "Something is... sealing it..."
Hitomiko: "Your true spiritual power..."
---- 14.
Hitomiko: "Probably... ever since you were born..."
Kagome: 'I'm... being sealed...?!'
---- 15.
Miroku: "Kagome-sama!" Inuyasha: "Kagome, are you all right?!"
Kagome: "Inuyasha..."
Miroku: "She's dead..."
---- 16.
villager: "Thank you so much." villager: "Now Hitomiko-sama can be at peace..." Miroku: "Please build a burial mound and hold a service for her."
Inuyasha: "Kagome..."
Inuyasha: "What's wrong? You don't seem well."
Kagome: "I... guess not."
Hitomiko: 'I didn't sense any spiritual power to use the bow coming from you.'
---- 17.
Kagome: 'It wasn't my power...?'
Kagome: 'Then, back then... the bow... Kikyou's will saved us?'
Hitomiko: 'Something is sealing... your true spiritual power...'
Kagome: 'Something... or someone...? But why?'
Hitomiko: 'Probably... ever since you were born...'
Kagome: 'Ever since... I was born...'
---- 18.
Kagome: 'If what Hitomiko said is true, then the only one who could seal me...'
Kagome: 'is Kikyou.'
preview: "Her true spiritual power...? The one sealing it is Kikyou...?! Now, Kagome's surprising hidden truth comes to light...?!"

Chapter 512[/b]
---- 1.
Title: "The Right Wish"
subtext: "Finally back at school. However...?!"
teacher: "Once you've filled out the test application with your school of choice..."
---- 2.
Eri: "You go first." Yuka: "Hey, don't push!"
student: "Application submission? That way." Kagome: "Ah. Thank you."
Eri: "Wooow, I want to wear that uniform..."
---- 3.
Ayumi: "Aaah, that was so nerve-wracking! This is my favorite school!"
Ayumi: "I want to hurry up and take the test." Eri: "What?! You're already ready?" Yuka: "Kagome, are you all right?" Kagome: "Huh?"
Eri: "Since you're always off sick, you must be way behind on your studies." Yuka: "Hang in there. We've all got to go to the same high school, after all."
Kagome: "... Yeah." Kagome: 'This is bad. This is really bad.'
Kagome: 'There isn't even a month until the high school entrance exams. Wait, that soon?!' Kagome: 'I wonder if the family shrine will bless me on this test...'
---- 4.
Kaede: "Kagome's spiritual power is... being sealed?"
Hitomiko: 'Something is... sealing your true spiritual power. Probably ever since you were born...'
Inuyasha: "Yeah. A miko called Hitomiko left us with those words."
Miroku: "However... doesn't Kagome-sama already hold all sorts of mysterious powers?" Sango: "That's right. She has purification powers and shoot holy arrows."
---- 5.
Kaede: "In other words, if this is true, then she possesses spiritual power... beyond this?"
Kikyou: 'Listen, Kaede... Burn this Shikon no Tama along with my body...'
Kikyou: 'So that it will never again... fall into the hands of evil.'
Kikyou: 'I will take the Shikon no Tama with me to the next world.'
Inuyasha: 'So her feelings at that time... sealed Kagome?'
---- 6.
Kagome: "A charm for the test?"
Jii-chan: "The Shikon no Tama, which has been passed down through the Higurashi Shrine for generations. As long as you have this, there's no doubt you'll pass."
Kagome: "Jii-chan... are you still selling those shady trinkets?" Jii-chan: "What are you talking about?"
Jii-chan: "It goes without saying, but the origin of this Shikon no Tama, or rather what sort of wish it will grant... revolves around the continuing battle between the miko and the youkai..."
Kagome: 'Even if I didn't hear that now, I've been experiencing it firsthand on the other side.
Jii-chan: "And then, when the last person to hold the Shikon no Tama makes the right wish..."
Jii-chan: "The jewel will be purified and disappear from this world." Kagome: "Huh?" Kagome: 'The right wish...?'
Kagome: "What's the right wish?" Jii-chan: "That information wasn't passed down."
Kagome: "Hmm, well there's a first." Jii-chan: "You weren't listening, anyway."
Kagome: "... Jii-chan, what you just told me..."
---- 8.
Kagome: "Is it going to be on the test...?" Jii-chan: "Ack... W, well... it's relevant." Souta: "No it's not."
Kagome: 'When the last person to hold the Shikon no Tama makes the right wish...' Kagome: 'Speaking of which...'
Kagome: 'Before I went to the other side, no matter how often I heard about the history of the jewel, I just forgot about it...'
Kagome: 'Is that also... because of Kikyou's sealing?'
---- 9.
Kagome: "...This isn't the time to get caught up in those thoughts. I've gotta memorize all these formulas tonight..."
Kagome: "Huh? It's like..."
Kagome: "Wow. It's like it's all going into my head."
Kagome: "But it's getting kinda cold... Wow."
Kagome: "Wow. It's cold. Wow. It's cold."
---- 10.
Inuyasha: "You're gonna catch a cold."
Kagome: "It IS cold! Wait, since when were you... Since when was I asleep?!"
Kagome: "A dream...? It was all a dream?! Ah, I don't remember a thing!" Inuyasha: "Hmm? Hey, Kagome, what's this?"
Kagome: "Oh, that's... a Higurashi Shrine fake good luck charm..."
Kagome: "Anyway, could you please not bother me? I need to study." Inuyasha: "Just looked like you were sleeping to me."
---- 11.
Inuyasha: "...." Kagome: 'And so he stays...'
Kagome: 'Jeez... I wonder if he's going to stay until I go back.'
Kikyou: 'Inuyasha, what if you became human?'
Kikyou: 'If the Shikon no Tama were to pass into the hands of a youkai, its youkai power would become stronger. The jewel would never disappear.'
Kikyou: 'However, if you used it to become human, the Shikon no Tama would be purified... and would probably vanish.'
---- 12.
Inuyasha: 'In the end... Kikyou wasn't able to purify the jewel.'
Kagome: "Oh, enough! I'm distracted and can't study!"
Kagome: "So what did Kaede-baa-chan tell you? Is it really Kikyou sealing me after all?"
Inuyasha: "No... Kaede-babaa's thoughts were..."
---- 13.
Inuyasha: "That the thing that's sealing your true spiritual power..."
Inuyasha: "Is the Shikon no Tama itself."
---- 14.
Kagome: "Eh...? What does that mean?" Inuyasha: "The Shikon no Tama is neither good nor evil."
Inuyasha: "It depends on the person holding it... since inside the jewel, good and evil are always struggling."
Inuyasha: "Back when Kikyou was injured and died... there was never any intent for her to be reborn."
Kagome: 'However... Kikyou's feelings for Inuyasha transferred into the Shikon no Tama...'
---- 15.
Kagome: 'And when she was reborn as me... the Shikon no Tama was transported into the Sengoku Jidai again.'
Kaede: "I believe when the Shikon no Tama returned, its evil part, fearing Kagome's spiritual power, sealed it."
Kagome: "The Shikon no Tama's evil part... Does that mean the jewel has a will of its own?"
Inuyasha: "I don't know. However..."
Inuyasha: "Even if sealing you really was Kikyou's will..."
---- 16.
Inuyasha: "It's because... she didn't want any more fighting. I think the Shikon no Tama granted that wish of hers."
Kagome: "Inuyasha."
Kagome: "I wonder if I'll become stronger. If the seal is broken..."
---- 17.
Inuyasha: "Kagome, you're..." Inuyasha: 'Even now, you're choosing to fight?'
Kagome: "Because, I have to get stronger in order to stay with you and the others."
Jii-chan: 'When the last person to hold the Shikon no Tama makes the right wish...'
Kagome: 'If we get the jewel away from Naraku, there's still a chance to purify it.'
Kagome: 'Now that Kikyou isn't here... purifying the jewel is my duty...'
---- 18.
Kagome: 'But what is the right wish...?'
Kagome: "Wait, it's morning already?!"
Sango: "Welcome back, Kagome-chan." Miroku: "Make any progress in your studies?" Kagome: "Not one bit." Inuyasha: "What? You're hopeless!" Shippou: "Weren't you bothering her?"
preview: "What the right wish is is still unknown. However, ahead of them...!! Heading into a shocking new chapter with a color page!"

Chapter 513[/b] ---- 1. Title: "The Jewel's Dark Will" (I'm going with "dark will" over "evil will", since this term is actually spoken in the dialogue by Naraku, and it just seems corny for a villain to refer to himself as "evil", even if he knows he is ) subtext: "Rushing into a new chapter!! The jewel of many mysteries finally moves...!!" ---- 2. oni: "Ge-hehehe, just like the rumors said. Sesshoumaru, I've heard..." oni: "you lost your weapon." ---- 3. Jaken: "Se, Sesshoumaru-sama..." Rin: "Jaken-sama, it seems like there's been a lot of these guys lately." Jaken: "Honestly..." Jaken: "It's not that he's lost his weapon, but because if they defeat someone as powerful as Sesshoumaru-sama, they'll gain prestige amongst youkai... so now all these small fry are coming out in droves." oni: "Ge-hehehe, I've had an inkling to try some dog youkai meat for a long time." oni: "And once we defeat you, that human boy's..." Kohaku: "!" ---- 4. Sesshoumaru: ".... Be quiet." ---- 5. Sesshoumaru: "Let's go." Jaken: "R, right." Jaken: "Hey, Kohaku." Kohaku: "Yes?" Jaken: "You understand, don't you? Though Sesshoumaru-sama will never say it..." ---- 6. Kohaku: "Yes... the oni are after my Shikon shard..." Jaken: "Thanks to that, I just feel smaller each time..." Rin: "If you get any smaller, you'll disappear, Jaken-sama." Byakuya: "...." Byakuya: 'Hmmm. So Sesshoumaru isn't using his sword.' Byakuya: 'So the story I heard about him losing that disturbing Meidou Zangetsuha technique, and the sword at his hip becoming dull and useless...' ---- 7. Byakuya: "Looks to be true, in any case." Byakuya: "Hm?" Byakuya: "Black light...?" [Naraku: "RAVE!"] ---- 8. Byakuya: 'Naraku...? What is he up to?' Byakuya: 'That's... the Shikon no Tama....' ---- 9. Byakuya: "!" ---- 10. [Ah, crap, it's Mouryou-doushi. With Papa stripes.] ---- 11. [Byakuya: "Heavy black eyeliner...? Black lipstick...? Stoned expression...? Fux, I've been replaced by a goth."] ---- 12. Byakuya: "Well that was surprising. What was that?" Byakuya: "Naraku, is that a new detachment?" Naraku: "Byakuya, huh..." Naraku: "So you saw that. That thing came out of the Shikon no Tama..." ---- 13. Naraku: "It's the dark will of the youkai that's been sealed in the jewel for many years." Kagome: "!" Kagome: "I wonder what that is..." ---- 14. Miroku: "Kagome-sama, do you sense something?" Kagome: "Yeah, it's something..." Kagome: "Very evil..." Kagome: 'Though it doesn't seem to want to approach us...' Inuyasha: "It's Naraku's scent!" everyone: "!" ---- 15. Jaken: "What's the matter, Sesshoumaru-sama?" Sesshoumaru: "Get back." Jaken: "Huh?" ---- 16. Jaken: "Geh!" Jaken: "Wha, Wha..." ---- 17. [An extra from the "Thriller" video?] ---- 18. Sesshoumaru: "Naraku's detachment... huh." Rin: "Aaah!" Sesshoumaru: "!" Jaken: "Dwaah!" ---- 19. Rin: "Kohaku, are you all right?" Jaken: "Th, this guy's after Kohaku's Shikon shard?!" ---- 20. Sesshoumaru: "!" Mouryou-doushi: "You're weak..." Jaken: "Wha, whaaa~t?!" preview: "A brutal enemy descends on Sesshoumaru's group! Called the dark will of the Shikon no Tama, what is he?! Wait for the intense next issue!" ----

---- 2.
[Let's get ready to ruuummbblllleee!]
---- 3.
Jaken: "You've got him, Sesshoumaru-sama!"
---- 4.
Jaken: "Insolent creature! You'd best spend your time in Hell repenting for calling Sesshoumaru-sama weak!"
Kohaku: "That's odd..." Rin: "What's wrong, Kohaku?"
Kohaku: "Sesshoumaru-sama's arm... it should have pierced through him, but..."
Kohaku: 'It's almost like he's being drawn in!'
---- 5.
Sesshoumaru: "!"
Rin/Kohaku/Jaken: "Sesshoumaru-sama!"

[Sorry, I'm not a very huggy person.]

Kohaku: "Ah!" Rin: "Sesshoumaru-sama's arm...!"
Jaken: 'Sesshoumaru-sama's claws bear poison, yet his arm was still burned...! Does this mean that guy's poison is stronger?!'
Mouryou-doushi: "Hmph."

Sesshoumaru: "!"
Kohaku: "He's after Sesshoumaru-sama's arm!" Rin: "Eeh?!"
Jaken: "Please run away, Sesshoumaru-sama! If you lose your right arm, you'll have no way to fight...!"

Kohaku: "This guy is Naraku's detachment. That means..."
Kohaku: 'Thanks to Kikyou-sama's purification powers, he shouldn't be able to touch my Shikon shard!'
---- 11.
Kohaku: "!"
Kohaku: 'Wha...?! The shard is... being tainted...?!'
Kohaku: 'Why...?!'
Sesshoumaru: "Tch..."

Sango: "Kohaku!" Kagome: "Kohaku-kun!"

Jaken: "Sesshoumaru-sama, that looks so painful..." Miroku: "...."
Shippou: "Sesshoumaru got thrashed." Miroku: "Naturally, because he handed Meidou Zangetsuha over to Inuyasha..."
Sango: "Kohaku, hang in there!" Kagome: "Kohaku-kun..."
Kagome: 'His shard is... tainted.'
Kagome: "I'll purify it."
Kagome: 'Was it tainted by him...?! Isn't he...'

Kagome: 'Naraku's detachment...? But... something's different...'
Mouryou-doushi: "!"

Title: "Borrowed Body"
subtext: "The Shikon no Tama and Kagome... what is their fate?!"
---- 2.
Sango: "Kagome-chan!" Miroku: "Kagome-sama!"
Kagome: 'My body... won't move... is it his doing...?'
Sango: "Kagome-chan..." Miroku: "...."
---- 3.
Inuyasha: "You bastard, what did you do to Kagome?!"
Miroku: 'Isn't he... Naraku's detachment?'
Miroku: 'However...' Rin: "Kohaku, hang in there!" Miroku: 'Kohaku's Shikon shard was tainted...'
Miroku: 'If he was Naraku's detachment, then just like Naraku, Kikyou-sama's purification powers would work on him, and he shouldn't be able to touch the Shikon shard...'
---- 4.
Sesshoumaru: "Take Kohaku and leave this place."
Sango: "Eh..."
Sesshoumaru: "You're in the way."
Inuyasha: "Sesshoumaru..."
---- 5.
Inuyasha: 'Sesshoumaru...'
Inuyasha: "You just stay back! This isn't the place for an injured person!"
Jaken: "What was that?! Just whose fault do you think it is that it came to this?!"
Jaken: "It is solely because Meidou Zangetsuha was turned over to someone like you that Sesshoumaru-sama has..." Inuyasha: "Shut up!"
---- 6.
Inuyasha: 'I know that... If he'd at least had a weapon, Sesshoumaru wouldn't have been wounded to this extent...'
Sesshoumaru: "Hmph..." Inuyasha: "!"
Sesshoumaru: "You despicable creature... Making me receive pity from the likes of a hanyou..."
---- 7.
Jaken: 'Ooh, he closed his wounds with pure fighting spirit! Nothing less from Sesshoumaru-sama.'
Mouryou-doushi: "Hmph. You want your arm eaten again?"
---- 8.
[Dude, he ripped his f*cking head clean off!]
---- 9.
Jaken: "He did it! Witness the true power of Sesshoumaru-sama's true youkai form!"
Inuyasha: "!"
---- 10.
Inuyasha: 'Shouki!' Inuyasha: "Miroku, Sango! Take Kagome..."
Sango: "We've got her!" Rin: "We left Jaken-sama behind." Miroku: "He'll probably be all right."
Jaken: "Huh?!"
---- 11.
everyone: "!"
Shippou: "He's after us!"
Shippou: "He's after Kohaku's Shikon shard!"
Inuyasha: "DAAAAH!"
---- 12.
Inuyasha: 'Same as Naraku... Even with his head ripped off, he's still alive.'
Miroku: "His... fighting style and very nature are exactly like Naraku's..."
---- 13.
Miroku: 'Yet they're definitely different.'
Miroku: "Sango, how is Kagome-sama?"
Sango: "Still no good."
Sango: "So it's because of him?" Miroku: "Yes, that's what I was thinking."
Hitomiko: 'Something is... sealing your spiritual power.' Miroku: "Those words the miko Hitomiko-sama left Kagome-sama with..."
---- 14.
Miroku: 'Kaede-sama's words as well...' Kaede: 'I believe the evil part of the Shikon no Tama... fears Kagome's spiritual power, and sealed them away.'
Sango: "So then he's..."
---- 15.
Mouryou-doushi: "Kukuku..."
Mouryou-doushi: "It doesn't matter how much you break me... this is a borrowed body."
Inuyasha: "?!"
Inuyasha: 'A borrowed body?!' Inuyasha: "You bastard... so you're not Naraku's detachment?!"
Mouryou-doushi: "Don't compare me to that hanyou..."
---- 16.
Inuyasha: "Wha..."
Inuyasha: "!"
Inuyasha: "KONGOUSOUHA!"
---- 17.
Inuyasha: "!"
Mouryou-doushi: "Kukuku... Shall I finish you off one at a time..."
Inuyasha: "Who the hell are you?!"
---- 18.
Mouryou-doushi: "If you'll listen, I'll answer. I am... Magatsuhi."
Inuyasha: "Magatsuhi?!"
preview: "The true form of the one born from the Shikon no Tama and borrowing Naraku's body is... Magatsuhi?! Will the full story behind him finally come to light?!"

Chapter 516
---- 1.
Title: "Magatsuhi"
subtext: "The evil being born from the jewel... its true identity now revealed...!
---- 2.
Inuyasha: "'Magatsuhi'... you said?!"
Miroku: "Magatsuhi...?!"
Shippou: "I've got the feeling I've heard that before, but..." (he has heard it before, the conversation just got cut from the anime version. Check manga volume 10, page 105) Sango: "It's the dark will of the Shikon no Tama."
Miroku: "Right. The Shikon no Tama... can become either good or evil."
---- 3.
Miroku: "Opposed to the good spirit 'Naohi' residing within the jewel, 'Magatsuhi' is the evil and corrupt spirit."
Miroku: 'If that's the case, then he's the evil spirit of the Shikon no Tama itself...'
Inuyasha: "Keh, I don't know anything about a 'Magatsuhi', but when you get right down to it, your body is nothing but a collection of pieces of Naraku's body."
Inuyasha: "So I'm not gonna hold back. I'll kill you!"
---- 4.
Magatsuhi: "Kill me, then. Along with this dog-beast..." (note: "bake-inu" has always been kind of a hard word to translate. Sticking "bake" at the beginning of a word means that it is an abnormal or monsterous version of the root word. For example, there was a chapter quite a while ago called "bake-neko" that I think was translated as "ghost cat")
Inuyasha: "Khh..."
Jaken: "Poor Sesshoumaru-sama..."
Jaken: 'He's not escaping?! Even though he wields his true power in his dog youkai form...'
---- 5.
Jaken: 'Isn't it also true that he has no use of his arms or legs?! Well, he's a dog. Doesn't seem like he's that bright.'
Jaken: 'It looks like if he broke the transformation and became smaller, he could just slip through, but... does he not realize this?! He is a dog, after all.'
Jaken: "Wha...!"
Rin: "Sesshoumaru-sama!" Shippou: "Was he crushed?!"
---- 6.
Jaken: "Sesshoumaru-sama!"
---- 7.
Jaken: "I wasn't thinking anything."
Rin: "Jaken-sama, yes you were." Miroku: "Oh...? I get the feeling their minds are connected."
Inuyasha: "Move, Sesshoumaru! Leave the rest to..."
---- 8.
Jaken: "Aah, he's going to get caught again!"
Inuyasha: "Oh, come on, you dumbass!"
---- 9.
Inuyasha: "Sesshoumaru, I know you don't want my help in this fight. But right now..."
---- 10.
Miroku: "The Black Tessaiga..." Sango: "He's going to use Meidou Zangetsuha?!"
Magatsuhi: "Hmph."
Inuyasha: "!"
---- 11.
Jaken: "Wha... he scattered himself?!"
Sango: "He's coming this way!"
Sango: "Hiraikotsu!"
Shippou: "Ohh! It looks like Hiraikotsu still works on Naraku's body!" Sango: "Yeah, however..."
---- 12.
Sango: "There doesn't seem to be a limit as to how much his scattered body can be broken apart!"
Miroku: "Then it's up to my Kazaana..."
Miroku: "Kohaku?!"
Miroku: "Are you being controlled by the jyaki in your shard?!"
---- 13.
Miroku: "!"
Inuyasha: "That bastard, this time he's after Kohaku's shard...!"
---- 14.
Magatsuhi: "Aren't you going to use your sword?" Inuyasha: "!"
Magatsuhi: "You can't use it, can you. Even if you aim at my scattered body..."
Magatsuhi: "Your comrades will get caught in the middle and die..."
---- 15.
Sesshoumaru: "Follow me."
Miroku: "!"
Sango: "!"
---- 16.
Jaken: "Se, Sesshoumaru-sama, what are you...?" Inuyasha: "Can't you tell by looking? He's trying to get Magatsuhi's body to assemble."
Sango: "I see... if he circles us a bit closer..."
Magatsuhi: "Hmph..."
---- 17.
Magatsuhi: "Can you attack without harming your comrades...? It'll happen eventually."
Sesshoumaru: "From here... you protect yourselves."
Miroku: "?!"
Inuyasha: "Sesshoumaru!"
---- 18.
Sesshoumaru: 'I wil kill him with my own hands!'
Sesshoumaru: 'This is a matter of my pride!'
preview: "Though he lost Meidou Zangetsuha, he hasn't lost his pride! Sesshoumaru challenges the evil spirit Magatsuhi unarmed...!!"

---- 2.
Inuyasha: "Sesshoumaru! You idiot... Get back here!"
---- 3.
Magatsuhi: "You fool... I'll devour you."
Sesshoumaru: 'I can smell it!'
Sesshoumaru: 'Magatsuhi's main body that's manipulating those scattered pieces of his body...'
Sesshoumaru: 'It's slightly different from Naraku's, the scent of an evil spirit...'
---- 4.
Magatsuhi: "?!"
Miroku: "He drew Tenseiga?!"
Jaken: "B, But why, Sesshoumaru-sama? Tenseiga is a healing sword that cannot fight..."
Inuyasha: "No, it's there! Something that Tenseiga can cut!"
---- 5.
Magatsuhi: "!"
Sango: "Ah!"
---- 6.
Magatsuhi: "Curse you..."
Jaken: "That's..." Sango: "Could it be... Magatsuhi's main body?!"
Miroku: "That's it! Magatsuhi is the spirit of the youkai sealed within the Shikon no Tama... He's not a being of this world!"
---- 7.
Magatsuhi: "Damn you..."
---- 8.
Magatsuhi: "What is that sword? It can cut spirits, but beings of this world... like Naraku's body are impervious?"
[Can't think of a joke here. Sess basically gets his lungs punctured]
---- 9.
Rin: "Sesshoumaru-sama!!"
Magatsuhi: "Kukuku... I'll say it again..."

Magatsuhi: "You're weak."
Jaken: "Sesshoumaru-sama!"
Inuyasha: "Kirara!"

Inuyasha: "You bastard, how dare you...!"
Inuyasha: "Gah!"
Inuyasha: "Dammit! DAMMIT!"
---- 12.
Inuyasha: "Sesshoumaru, you bastard... I am NOT gonna let you die like this!"
Miroku: "Inuyasha..."
Jaken: "Sesshoumaru-sama... knew he might lose, but chose to die fighting." Rin: "Jaken-sama..."
Inuyasha: 'So you're saying you'd rather die than get saved by someone like me who took Meidou Zangetsuha...? You idiot!'
Magatsuhi: "Hmph..."
---- 13.
Inuyasha: "!"
Miroku: "Oh no!" Shippou: "Inuyasha's gonna get caught, too!"
Inuyasha: "Gah!"
Magatsuhi: "Why not just blow apart that mass with that sword you're so proud of?"
Magatsuhi: "If you're worried about the guy inside, don't be... Even if you blow him to pieces, he'll be reborn."
---- 14.
Magatsuhi: "As a part of Naraku's body..."
Miroku/Sango: "!"

Miroku: "This light..."

Magatsuhi: 'What is this...? This is...'
---- 4.
Magatsuhi: 'his doing?!'
---- 5.
Sesshoumaru: 'This feeling...'
Magatsuhi: "?!"
Sango: "That's..."
Inuyasha: "Toutousai..."
---- 6.
Sesshoumaru: "!"
Jaken: "Sesshoumaru-sama, watch out!"
Sesshoumaru: 'If Toutousai is here, then that means...'
Sesshoumaru: 'This is...'
---- 7.
Jaken: "Wha...?" Rin: "Jaken-sama! I can see something in the light!"
---- 8.
Inuyasha: 'That's...'
---- 9.
Miroku: "His arm?!"
Jaken: "His arm that was cut off by Inuyasha has...!"
Inuyasha: 'That sword...!'
---- 10.
Toutousai: "It's finally appeared, Sesshoumaru. That's not a memento from your father, it's a sword of your own. Bakusaiga."
Inu/Sess: 'Bakusaiga!'
---- 11.
Magatsuhi: "It's useless. Even if you cut me to pieces..."
Miroku: "The uninjured youkai are wrapping around the remains... they intend to combine!"
---- 12.
Inuyasha: "!"
Magatsuhi: "What...?!"
Magatsuhi: 'I can't regenerate?! On the contrary...'
---- 13.
Magatsuhi: 'The uninjured part of my body is breaking apart...'
Sango: "The effect continues even after he's cut him!" Miroku: "Even more, it transfers to any part of the body touching it?!"
Miroku: 'In other words, if Naraku absorbed any youkai cut by that sword, he would receive the blow as well!'
Magatsuhi: "Hmph. It seems that..."
Magatsuhi: "You've put on quite a show for me..."
---- 14.
Magatsuhi: "However, this is still a borrowed body. I feel neither pain nor--"
Jaken: "He did it! Take that, talking head! That's just what you get for making fun of Sesshoumaru-sama!"
Inuyasha: "...." Inuyasha: 'Where's Magatsuhi's main body?!'
---- 15.
Sesshoumaru: "So he escaped..."
Rin: "Sesshoumaru-sama, are you all right?" Jaken: "I had faith in your victory, Sesshoumaru-sama!"
Toutousai: "Sesshoumaru. You sure took quite a beating."
Toutousai: "Here, let me see it. Your sword..."
---- 16.
Sesshoumaru: 'My sword... Bakusaiga!'
Toutousai: "Sesshoumaru, that sword has been with you all along. Inside yourself."
Toutousai: "However, in order to obtain it, it was necessary for you to stand on your own as a true daiyoukai."
---- 17.
Jaken: "What was that?! Sesshoumaru-sama has been standing on his own just splendidly for a long time!" Toutousai: "You be quiet."
Inuyasha: 'Is he talking about cutting off his attachment to Dad's memento, Tessaiga...?'
Toutousai: "Sesshoumaru, when you desired to steal Tessaiga, you lost your left arm."
Toutousai: "But now, you have obtained a new arm along with a sword that is truly your own. Meaning that..."
---- 18.
Toutousai: "This is proof that you have surpassed your father..."
Toutousai: "And have been liberated from Tessaiga."
Kagome: "Ooh..." Inuyasha: "!"
Inuyasha: "Kagome...?"

Chapter 519
---- 1.
Title: "Magatsuhi's Shadow"
subtext: "Something is wrong with Kagome...?!"
---- 2.
Kagome: 'Huh...?'
Kagome: 'This is...'
Eri: "Kyaa, there I am!" Ayumi: "Me too!" Yuka: "Kagome, what about you?!" Kagome: "Eh..."
Kagome: 'That's right, I... took the entrance exam...'
---- 3.
Eri: "We all passed!" Yuka: "What about you, Kagome?!" Kagome: "Oh, Right."
Kagome: "Huh... Huh...?!"
Kagome: "I'm... not there!"
Kagome: 'I... I failed!'
Kagome: "Nooooo!"
---- 4.
Inuyasha: "What's the matter, Kagome? Are you still in pain?"
Kagome: "Eh...? I..."
Miroku: "As soon as Magatsuhi looked at you, you lost consciousness. Do you remember?"
Kagome: 'Oh, that's right... back then my strength was suddenly drained...'
---- 5.
Kagome: "!"
Kagome: "Sango-chan, Kohaku-kun is...?"
Sango: "Yeah. He hasn't opened his eyes once."
Kagome: "Not as long as he's tainted by Magatsuhi. I'll purify it right away."
Miroku: "However, why was Magatsuhi able to taint Kohaku's shard...?"
---- 6.
Miroku: "Magatsuhi's origin, the Shikon no Tama, still has a point of light left there by Kikyou-sama."
Miroku: "That light causes the purification light to become greatly amplified if Naraku touches Kohaku's shard, which should cause Naraku great pain."
Inuyasha: "Yeah. If he came out of the Shikon no Tama and was using Naraku's body, it seems like Kikyou's spell would work the same on him, but..."
Kaede: "It is likely that the light that Kikyou-onee-sama left -- her purification spell --"
Kaede: "Only works on Naraku."
---- 7.
Inuyasha: "What does that mean, Kaede-babaa?" Kaede: "The purification spell... was a powerful will in Kikyou-onee-sama's dying moments."
Kaede: "The enemy is Naraku... Onee-sama's will must have been solely focused on Naraku."
Miroku: 'So it doesn't work on Magatsuhi...'
Miroku: "Looks like we've got a problematic guy on our hands. He escaped before we could finish him off..." Inuyasha: "Keh!"
Inuyasha: "Next time he shows up, he'll be prey for my sword."
Sango: "... How's it going, Kagome-chan?"
---- 8.
Kagome: 'What's going on...? It's not working...'
Kagome: "I... can't purify it."
Sango: "Kagome-chan...?"
Inuyasha: "Kagome..."
---- 9.
Kagome: "Why...? I've been able to up until now..."
Kagome: 'Back then...'
Kagome: 'Is it from getting stared down by Magatsuhi and collapsing...?'
Inuyasha: 'He's... sealed Kagome's power...?' (just as a note, this was one of those lovely dangling objects that Japanese is so fond of that requires me to put words in people's mouths. The actual translation would be "He's... ____ Kagome's power...?")
---- 10.
Rin: "What's gonna happen to Kohaku...?"
Jaken: "Honestly... to drag Sesshoumaru-sama all the way to this human village..."
Toutousai: "All right."
Toutousai: "Bakusaiga's sheath."
---- 11.
Jaken: "Ah!"
Rin: "Wait, Sesshoumaru-sama!"
Jaken: "Rin."
Rin: "Kohaku hasn't woken up yet. So please, let's wait a little..."
Sesshoumaru: "Kohaku is staying here. Rin, you too."
Rin: "Eh...?"
---- 12.
Rin: "But why, Sesshoumaru-sama?!"
Jaken: 'Leaving Kohaku as well as Rin... But...'
Rin: "No, take me with you!!" Jaken: "Hey, do as you're told, Rin!"
Jaken: "Sesshoumaru-sama has always lived to fight. Isn't it strange for him to have been wandering around with you children up until now?!"
Sesshoumaru: "Jaken, you too. Stay here."
Jaken: "Eh?"
---- 13.
Jaken: "But why, Sesshoumaru-sama?! No, take me with you!!"
Inuyasha: "Sesshoumaru, you... intend to follow after Magatsuhi, right?"
Sesshoumaru: "He is my prey."
---- 14.
Toutousai: "Isn't that all right? Since Magatsuhi isn't a being of this world, the only one who can kill him is Sesshoumaru."
Sesshoumaru: 'I remember his scent. He will definitely fall by my hand.'
Jaken: "Sesshoumaru-samaaaa!"
Rin: "Thank goodness. This is just leaving us like he usually does, Jaken-sama."
Rin: 'Hurry back soon, Sesshoumaru-sama.'
---- 15.
Miroku: "There's no doubt that the one sealing Kagome-sama's power is Magatsuhi."
Miroku: "And what that miko Hitomiko said..." Hitomiko: 'Something is sealing you. Most likely ever since you were born...'
Miroku: "That's the evil part of the Shikon no Tama... which is Magatsuhi."
Inuyasha: "Yeah..." Inuyasha: 'So does that mean if Sesshoumaru kills Magatsuhi... the seal on Kagome will break...?'
---- 16.
Kaede: "Little youkai, you intend to settle here as well?" Jaken: "Call me Jaken-sama!" Rin: "Jaken-sama, you sure talk big." Miroku: "For such a little body..."
Kagome: "I'm sorry, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha: "You don't have anything to apologize about, Kagome." Kagome: "I..."
Kagome: "It hurts. That I can't do anything..."
---- 17.
Inuyasha: "Don't worry about it. Besides... the fact that he went to the trouble of sealing your power..."
Inuyasha: "means that to Naraku and Magatsuhi, you're a force to be feared."
Kagome: 'I'm... that powerful?'
---- 18.
Byakuya: "Hey, Naraku. He's not coming back."
Naraku: "The body he borrowed from me is dead in its entirety."
Byakuya: "So that Magatsuhi guy is, too?"
Naraku: "He's not dead. Plus..."
Naraku: 'I have a hunch about what Magatsuhi intends to do from here.'
preview: "With Bakusaiga in hand, Sesshoumaru pursues Magatsuhi alone... Also, per Naraku's expectations, what is Magatsuhi's next move...?!"

Kagome: "All right, Mama, Ojii-chan, I'm off." (eh? Doesn't she usually call him "Jii-chan"?)
Mama: "You haven't forgotten anything, Kagome?" Jii-chan: "I'll be praying for you." Souta: "Go for it, Nee-chan." Kagome: "Right."
Kagome: 'It's been ten days since then...'
Kagome: 'My purification powers haven't returned, and Kohaku-kun has been asleep ever since...'

Sango: "It can't be helped, it's not your fault, Kagome." Miroku: "We'll be looking after Kohaku..."
Kagome: 'I'm sorry, everyone... for going home at such a hard time...'
Kagome: 'But it's weird. Inuyasha hasn't come to bother me at all. Thanks to that, I've made progress in my studying, though...'
Kagome: 'Wait for me, everyone, I'll be back soon.' Yuka: "Kagome!" Kagome: 'Once I get through today...'
---- 5.
Inuyasha: "Whaat? Kagome isn't here?"
Mama: "Inuyasha-kun." Souta: "What're you here for?" Inuyasha: "Isn't it obvious?"
Inuyasha: "She promised she'd come back after ten days. So I'm here to take her back."
Jii-chan: "What are you talking about? Today is the day of the exam." Inuyasha: "Eggs-ham?!" (not really sure how to represent this. Jii-chan says "juken" (exam), and Inuyasha repeats "dyuken" (a nonsense word pronounced nearly identically))
Jii-chan: "You probably don't understand it, but this is a very important event in Kagome's life."
---- 6.
Jii-chan: "You understand? For today only, I will not permit you to bother Kagome!"
Jii-chan: "And he's not there." Souta: "And he wasn't listening."
announcer: "... The express train has now arrived."
announcer: "Please wait behind the white line."
Eri: "What a rush." Yuka: "But if we want on that train, we're going to have to make ourselves a place."
Eri: "Let's go!"

Inuyasha: "Hey, Kagome!" Kagome: "Huh?!"
Inuyasha: "Where the hell are you going?" Kagome: "Geh!"
Kagome: "Inuyasha, why are you...!" Eri: "Eh?"
Inuyasha: "You're coming back. Today's the promised day!"
Kagome: "Osuwari!"

Eri: "Hey, was that... your boyfriend just now?" Kagome: "You're imagining things."
guy: "Cosplay?"
Inuyasha: "Hey, what're you lookin' at?" guy: "It's a cosplayer." guy: "Not a very good cosplayer."
Kagome: 'Jeez, this isn't a joke. He comes to take me back today of all days...'
---- 9.
Kagome: 'Youkai.'
Kagome: 'Practice exam.'
Kagome: 'Youkai.'
Kagome: 'Supplementary classes.'
Kagome: 'When you think about it, the fact that I've made it to today through all those hardships...'
Kagome: 'Then at least for today, I won't allow Inuyasha to interfere!'
Inuyasha: "Keh!"
Inuyasha: 'That damn Kagome, if she thinks she can run from me, she's made a big mistake!'

Yuka: "We're getting off! Let us leave!"

Inuyasha: "You bastard, I'll stop you!"
Inuyasha: "Prepare yourself!"
Kagome: "Don't cut it! Osuwari!"

Kagome: "Excuse me! Excuse me!"
Kagome: "Has anyone seen my bag?! There's an important exam pass in it!"
Inuyasha: "Kagome, you bastard!"
Kagome: 'I was sure it was in this car...'
---- 15.
Kagome: "You, you idiot! Why did you pull me off!"
Inuyasha: "It had your scent." attendant: "Something you lost?"
Inuyasha: "Wh... what?"
---- 16.
Kagome: "Thank you! It really was good that you came after all!"
Inuyasha: "Uh, yeah. You finally figured that out?"
announcement: "Examinees, please enter the classrooms."
Inuyasha: "When this is over, you're coming back." Kagome: "Right! Thanks for bringing me!"
Kagome: "That's right, my exam pass..."
---- 17.
Kagome: "Eh?! It's not here! Why?!"
Kagome: "MY EXAM PASS IS GOOOONE!"
Mama: "Oh, there you are! Kagome!" Kagome: "Eh... Mama...?"
Mama: "Here, your exam pass. You left it on your desk."
---- 18.
Inuyasha: "I don't really get it, but go in there and do your best."
Kagome: "Right!"
Mama: "... You've been looking like that the whole time?" Inuyasha: "Yeah."
Mama: "Let's get you covered up." Inuyasha: "... Even now?"
Kagome: 'And from there, I completed the exam in peace.'
preview: "In the Sengoku Jidai and the modern era, Inuyasha is still Kagome's hero who will rescue her in times of trouble!"

Chapter 521
---- 1.
Title: "Shadow"
subtext: "Bakusaiga is in his hand. The one he must kill is Magatsuhi"
---- 2.
Kaede: "Shippou, are you looking in the well again?" Shippou: "Today's the day Kagome's supposed to come back."
Shippou: "Inuyasha went over there in the morning, but..."
Kagome: 'When my high school entrance exam is over, I'll be back.' Kaede: "That's right."
Kaede: 'But even if she does come back,'
Kaede: 'Kagome's purification powers will still be sealed.'
---- 3.
Kaede: 'And Kohaku, whose Shikon shard has been tainted, will continue to sleep...'
Jaken: "He sure has been asleep a long time. Without eating or drinking anything." Sango: "Yeah. Because he won't wake up until Sesshoumaru kills Magatsuhi."
Sango: 'But it's been a long time... since we've been together for this long.'
Sango: 'It's ironic, though... even if he doesn't wake up, his heart will still be at peace more than when we're separated...'
---- 4.
kid: "Houshi-sama, are you writing?" kid: "Wow!" kid: "What's it say?" Miroku: "This is 'daughter'."
kid: "And this one?" Miroku: "'Princess'."
Miroku: "This is 'big sister'. This one is 'little sister'. 'Bride'." kid: "Seems like they're all girls...'
kid: "What...?" kid: "It's dark..."
---- 5.
Miroku: "!"
kid: "Ho, Houshi-sama..." Miroku: "Everyone, into your houses! Quickly!"
---- 6.
Miroku: 'Are these Magatsuhi's underlings?! Or Naraku's...?!'
Sesshoumaru: 'It's close... Magatsuhi's scent...'
Sesshoumaru: "!"
---- 7.
Sesshoumaru: 'Byakuya of the Mirage?!'
Byakuya: "Even though it's so faint, you sure sniffed out Magatsuhi's scent from a long way away. I expected you'd have a good nose, Sesshoumaru-sama."
Byakuya: "Huh? Your left arm..."
Byakuya: "I was sure you didn't have one, but did it grow back?"
---- 8.
Sesshoumaru: "I have no business with you. Leave."
Byakuya: "Aw. No civility, as usual."
Byakuya: "So I take it you're only interested in this guy, huh?"
---- 9.
Sesshoumaru: 'Magatsuhi!'
Sesshoumaru: 'Tenseiga!'
---- 10.
Sesshoumaru: "!"
Sesshoumaru: 'Tenseiga didn't cut him?!'
Byakuya: 'Fight him to your heart's content, Sesshoumaru. That Magatsuhi is an illusion I created...'
---- 11.
Byakuya: 'Right about now, the real Magatsuhi is...'
Kaede: "What happened, everyone?!" villager: "Ka, Kaede-sama." villager: "The youkai are..."
Miroku: "Kazaana!"
---- 12.
Sango: "Houshi-sama!"
Sango: 'If he uses the Kazaana too much, his wound will spread again...'
---- 13.
Sango: "Houshi-sama, leave the rest to me...!'
Sango: "Hiraikotsu!"
Miroku: "!"
---- 14.
Miroku: 'The shadow... didn't disappear...!?'
Miroku: "Oh no!" Sango: "Houshi-sama?!"
Miroku: "The youkai were a distraction! The real enemy is...!"
---- 15.
Rin: "! Jaken-sama!"
Rin: "The floor... looks strange."
Jaken: "Wha...!"
---- 16.
Miroku: "!"
---- 17.
Miroku: "Magatsuhi!" Sango: "He was hiding in the shadow..."
Rin: "Kohaku..."
Sango: "Has Magatsuhi taken over his body?!"
Kohaku: "Hmph..."
---- 18.
Kohaku: "Until the wound inflicted by Sesshoumaru healed..."
Kohaku: "I have been hiding in wait deep underground..."
Kohaku: "And now, with this boy's final shard..."
Kohaku: "The Shikon no Tama will be complete."
preview: "Kohaku has been possessed by Magatsuhi! While Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru are away, an unprecedented crisis befalls Miroku and the others... next time, a fierce battle!"

Chapter 522
---- 1.
Title: "Posession"
subtext: "The enemy Magatsuhi is before their eyes... however...?!"
---- 2.
(note that although Kohaku is the one speaking for Magatsuhi, I've labelled all his lines as Magatsuhi's)
Sango: "Magatsuhi..."
Sango: "Do you intend to transport the shard to Naraku along with Kohaku's body?!"
Magatsuhi: "Don't worry. Once its business is complete, I'll give you this body back."
---- 3.
Magatsuhi: "If you're all right with a corpse..."
Sango: "!"
Magatsuhi: "By attaching to him, I understand perfectly. This boy's life is bound to the power of the Shikon shard."
Sango: 'If the shard is taken, then Kohaku will die! I can't just let him go like this..."
Rin: "What's that sound...?"
---- 4.
Miroku: "Khh." Sango: "Houshi-sama?!"
---- 5.
Magatsuhi: "Hmph. You intend to kill this boy by sucking him into your Kazaana?"
Miroku: "Magatsuhi! The only one I'm sucking up is you!"
Miroku: "kAZAANA!"
---- 6.
Jaken: "Ooh! He's sucking him in..."
Magatsuhi: "It's useless..."
Miroku: "!"
---- 7.
Magatsuhi: "It's too late..."
Sango: "Houshi-sama?!"
---- 8.
Jaken: "The Shikon shard..." Rin: "Something's steaming out of it..."
Magatsuhi: "Have you forgotten...? That Shikon shards give power to demons..."
Sango: "Magatsuhi!"
Magatsuhi: "Did you think you could suck me up completely...? However, monk... You've sucked up something that a human should not absorb..."
---- 9.
Magatsuhi: "Magatsuhi's poison..."
Miroku: "Ugh..."
Sango: "Houshi-sama?!"
Sango: "!"
Magatsuhi: "Woman. You will die as well. By your brother's hand..."
---- 10.
Sango: "Gah!"
Rin: "Kohaku, stop it!"
---- 11.
Jaken: "Come back, Rin! That isn't Kohaku! Magatsuhi is using Kohaku's body..." (note: He actually said "borrowing" Kohaku's body, but that just sounds too... nice)
Rin: "!"
Jaken: "Rin!"
---- 12.
Kagome: "What's going on? Things seem out of place." Inuyasha: "!"
Inuyasha: "Let's go, Kagome!"
Inuyasha: 'I smell blood... and poison... coming from Kaede-babaa's house!'
---- 13.
Kagome: "Kaede-baa-chan's house..." Inuyasha: 'It's half-demolished!'
Kagome: "!" Inuyasha: "Miroku! Sango!"
---- 14.
Sango: "Ooh... Inuyasha..."
Sango: "Go after... Kohaku..." Kagome: "Sango-chan, that's a horrible wound!"
Inuyasha: "Miroku..."
Miroku: "Sorry, Inuyasha... for being in this state..."
Inuyasha: "Miroku, you..."
Inuyasha: 'The shouki wound is all the way to his chest...'
---- 15.
Kikyou: 'When the shouki wound reaches his heart, most likely Houshi- dono's life will be...'
Miroku: "Thanks to Yakurou Dokusen-sama's medicine, I've become unable to feel the pain... but I guess I overdid it a little." Inuyasha: "...."
Sango: "!"
Sango: 'That sound...'
Sango: 'It can't be... the Kazaana...?!'
---- 16.
Inuyasha: "Miroku, your Kazaana is..."
Miroku: 'Will the shouki wound reach my heart first... or will the Kazaana tear open before that...'
Sango: "Houshi-sama!"
Sesshoumaru: 'There's something strange about this Magatsuhi...'
---- 17.
Sesshoumaru: 'The faint scent that I've been following all the way here is...'
Byakuya: "!"
Byakuya: "Whoa!"
---- 18.
Sesshoumaru: 'A piece of flesh!?'
Byakuya: "It's a piece of flesh from when you cut Magatsuhi. Shouldn't it be infused with the scent of the spirit that couldn't escape? It was all I needed to lure you out here and buy some time."
Byakuya: "But you've realized that a bit too late."
preview: "It was all a trick in order to steal the shard. At this rate, will the jewel be completed?! And what of Kohaku's life?!"
