the cast

Well… How can I put it… He doesn’t like you. (Sesshomaru smiles) Y-you’re smiling…! Oh please! Please get angry! I fear a smiling Master Sesshomaru much, much more! Please I beg you! (Sesshomaru walks off) My life was shortened by a hundred years.

It makes me extremely curious about the two swords forged from your father’s fang. The two swords are like…brothers. (realizes his faux pass and gasps) Oh no… I didn’t mean to compare them with you and Inuyasha! I’m not concerned at all that you who hate half-demons would be related to Inuyasha…well, I am concerned, but…!

Am I so hated…?

Jaken refers to evil point of view. Don't underestimate me!

I was just about to be killed by Lord Sesshomaru! Even more than the monk's heavenly power, Lord Sesshomaru's disregard for ally or foe when he kills is a hundred-fold more frightening. Oh dear… I fear for the future.

My future as a minister is very uncertain...

Don't worry, Kagme! I'll take care of this "first choice" and "test" crap!

Nah, that'd never work.

They're all just cannon fodder demons! Test, Jaken, they both sound like pushovers.

Bye-bye-yo, Inuyasha. Of all the men I’ve killed, I like you the most.

Jakotsu… you…! (hugs Jakotsu) You’re a great guy!

Huh?

You are the only one whom I can trust. Even though it’s weird…

Is that so?

A grave is not simply a place to bury a body or ashes. A grave is necessary for the hearts of ones who are left behind. (…) However, man is weak. Danger and uncertainty can weaken his heart. The grave was a place of reassurance. A place where hearts could find peace.

It's kindness to let him [Kohaku] die without remembering a thing.

I came following the scent of blood and miasma.

I see. You thought it was Naraku. Are you disappointed? That I wasn't Naraku.

(pause) I knew it was you.

I see... (thinking: You came.. knowing it was me, huh?)

Kagura slouches over.

(thinking: Tenseiga cannot save her.) You're leaving?

Yeah, it's enough. (thinking: In the end, I got to see you.)

Now, go. Wherever you desire. Go and enjoy it. The short time you have left. Although, all you will feel is anguish and despair. Kagura, that is the freedom you wished for.

The longer I endure this world, the more lovely the midnight moon.

My duty is to protect the Jewel. Without the Jewel, I'd become an ordinary woman.

Inuyasha and I parted despising each other. The love you speak of is but a shallow emotion which only served to deepen the hatred. Nothing is stronger in strengthening revolve than bitterness. If he must love, then love my consuming hatred. As for me, I will love his heart which is about to fall into deep despair.

(to Naraku) My physical self died on that day. But with this borrowed body, I feel more comfortable. I do not expect you to understand.

Men are such fools. They believe that as long as they embrace a woman, she belongs to them.

It's been fifty years since then... Inuyasha is still sealed to the Tree of Life. Inuyasha is as he was then. At that time, Sister knew her life was over. Then why did she choose to use a sealing arrow and not a purifying arrow? Why did she seal Inuyasha to the tree which transcends time, the Tree of Life? And why... although he hated my sister for sealing him onto the tree, Inuyasha's face still looks so peaceful? I still don't get it... I wonder if a day will come when I will fully understand...?

Naraku… Go and gather the fragments of the Sacred Jewel. When you have the complete Sacred Jewel, I will send you to Hell. I am free to hate. My soul is much more free than those days. Free to hate… Free to love…

I never show anyone my weakness. I must never waver. Otherwise, some demon will get the better of me. I’m human, but I mustn’t be human. You and I have things in common. You, the half-demon. That’s why I couldn’t kill you.

If there is no Jewel, I become an ordinary woman.

You died before me, again… Where are you now? Who are you with now?

This nostalgic scent of her… It's just like back then. The only difference is that she has no warmth. Her body died…so it's cold…and sad…and lonely.

Your fake body of soil and bones… You can’t even bleed…

That was the first time I'd seen the Sacred Jewel. And... after she was given custody of it, Sister Kikyo's fate changed drastically. She would watch other girls her age indulge in make-up, paint their faces white, and enjoy their lives with vitality.

No matter if she’s dead or alive, she has Inuyasha’s heart.

Looking at Kikyo’s sad face… For the first time in my life, I felt like I’d done something wrong. After that day, all I could think about was Kikyo. She was always near me… And I was always with her.

Seikai: Just what…are you trying to do? The living are carving new moments in their lives. But…Time has stopped for the dead, like you. It can never mix. How sad…

There are no temples around here. How can you travel without any money?

If you don’t believe me, go ahead and search.

Are you living on moss and algae?

Something like that.
