"I win." "Banzai!" "Banzai!" "Wrong one..." "Kagome." "I'm disappointed in you." "These karuta cards are so fascinating." "They're not karuta." "We call it trumps. (playing cards)" "Torampu?" "Trumps." "Cut out the racket!" "Can't you play quietly?" "come and join us." "Not interested!" "Why's he so angry?" "He's in a bad mood." "Inuyasha!" "Sulking won't make Tetsusaiga any stronger." "Shaddup!" "I'm not...!" "Naraku's barrier... we can't even touch Naraku." "Wind Scar!" "The Wind Scar had no effect." "I told you..." "I continue to grow stronger." "all right." "Hah!" "No need to worry." "I'll take care of it!" "What'll you do?" "Have you any ideas?" "Knew it!" "You haven't got a clue!" "Shouldn't have gotten my hopes up." "Hey you guys...!" "Leave it to me." "Huh?" "Inuyasha!" "Old Myoga..." "I know how to handle Naraku's barrier." "You know something?" "I hurried over just to tell you." "Tell me!" "And I'll let you suck all the blood you want outta Kagome." "Why me?" "!" "Inuyasha." "You must go immediately to the nest of the Demon Bats." "Demon Bats?" "Near a village on the western shores is the nest of the Demon Bat Tribe." "The nest is protected by an impenetrable barrier and no one is able to destroy them." "The guardianship of the barrier is passed down from generation to generation." "You must kill this guardian demon. kill the demon guardian who has the power to put up this barrier and let Tetsusaiga absorb its blood." "Tetsusaiga will synergize his power?" "And make Tetsusaiga stronger?" "Exactly." "your blood... let's go!" "huh? even a thousand of 'em!" "You lied to us! our village wouldn't be attacked!" "Well?" "!" "More villagers have been killed!" "That's not what you promised!" "Why'd they attack us?" "!" "She's probably one of them..." "one of those Demon Bats!" "Yeah!" "Show no mercy!" "Let her have it!" "H-Huh?" "W-Who're you?" "!" "You mentioned Demon Bats just now." "Tell me where their nest is." "Are you all right?" "How dare you attack a woman like that!" "?" "As if we would know where the nest is!" "Ask that woman! but bore the child of a Demon Bat!" "The child of a demon?" "Why do you want to know where the nest is?" "Well..." "I'm gonna destroy them." "Huh?" "Inuyasha." "You said you gave your child to the Demon Bats." "What does that mean?" "The Demon Bats have always lived in this region." "They prey on humans and animals and suck out their blood... they're frightening demons." "But Tsukuyomaru... was different." "He did not kill humans. but they stopped attacking our village." "our village was at peace." "Was?" "Tsukuyomaru died." "And there was no one to stop them." "Aghh!" "The Demon Bats! came to see me." "he promised to leave our village alone. a duty passed down from generation to generation." "was needed to carry on the work." "Why did it have to be Shiori?" "If this Taigokumaru had the guardian power..." "Power wanes." "he loses the power." "Shiori is the only one remaining who has the power to protect the barrier?" "Hah!" "Hah!" "Demon child!" "Half demon!" "Half demon!" "Mommy." "Shiori!" "How'd you get those scratches on your face?" "It's nothing." "I just fell." "What's the matter?" "I said." "I'm so sorry! I gave up my Shiori to Taigokumaru." "So you've brought her." "As I promised." "never attack our village again!" "I give you my word." "go." "I changed my mind." "I'm afraid of Grandfather." "Shiori!" "For the sake of the village!" "Mommy!" "Forgive me." "You'll be happier over there." "right?" "Would a half demon child have such powers?" "you are also a half demon." "Then you understand that just because you're half a demon doesn't mean nor does it mean you're embraced by humans." "Inuyasha?" "I wonder." "Shiori had ample power to fulfill her duties." "That's why..." "I thought it was for her good to go to them." "I thought..." "But the Demon Bats went against their word." "Take me there." "Huh?" "whatever his name is." "too." "No!" "I'll be fine alone." "But...!" "I'm the one who has business with 'im." "Penny for your thoughts?" "I was thinking back..." "Old Myoga!" "Why'd you follow me?" "!" "And why not?" "I won't be in the way." "I told you not to come!" "Go back!" "Don't say that." "This way." "Inuyasha!" "Do as you please!" "Eat." "Huh?" "I cannot have you starving to death." "That cave over yonder." "Where it glows." "Huh?" "Mommy!" "Shiori!" "Myoga..." "You sure about this...?" "The way to make Tetsusaiga stronger?" "Yes..." "You must kill that girl." "Shiori!" "Shiori!" "Mommy!" "I wondered what the ruckus was." "It seems we have visitors." "Is he the one?" "Taigokumaru." "You tricked me!" "Hmm?" "What are you talking about?" "You promised to leave the village alone in return for Shiori!" "Yet..." "You really believed it?" "As if a demon would really keep a promise to a human!" "Then return Shiori to me!" "Mommy..." "I will not." "Shiori will be the guardian of the barrier for the rest of her life. and she is doing a fine job." "It's hard to believe that she has a human for a mother." "I think the only way to get your daughter back is through force." "Force?" "Can you?" "old bat..." "He's standing in front of Shiori." "I can get him without hurting Shiori." "Wind..." "Scar!" "What?" "!" "He repelled my Wind Scar!" "Oh dear!" "The barrier of the Demon Bat is to be feared!" "Rumor was right about it being impenetrable!" "kid?" "!" "It doesn't matter who I am!" "Give Shiori back!" "I see..." "So the mortals sent you." "you can die here!" "I won't miss this time." "Why you...!" "Stop!" "Grandfather!" "Please don't hurt Mommy." "I'll work hard." "So please..." "Please don't hurt Mommy!" "Did you hear that?" "This child has far more sense than you!" "Why you...!" "Cut it out!" "Let me ask." "Do you think Shiori will be happy back in the village?" "Huh?" "I know it all." "The villagers ostracized her because Shiori is a half demon. they didn't hesitate for a second and offered Shiori to me." "How can I return my dear granddaughter to such selfish villagers." "It didn't work?" "I'll resign myself to this." "But..." "What Taigokumaru said was true." "This village didn't accept me or Shiori." "Maybe she's better off there." "Hah!" "You're so naive." "Huh?" "Demons never accept half demons." "Even if they're blood kin." "Inuyasha!" "too!" "Isn't it only 'cuz I protect you! nothing can be done." "And didn't we come here because of that?" "Hah!" "I know that!" "Kill a half demon who guards a strong barrier... and let Tetsusaiga absorb his blood." "Then Tetsusaiga would grow in power and be able to break through Naraku's barrier." "But..." "No way can Inuyasha kill the half demon." "She's just a little girl." "Mommy..." "I want to see you." "If only Father were alive..." "Why did he have to die?" "I guess she misses her mother." "there's no telling when she'll ask to go back to the village." "Then..." "I will make them disappear..." "Your village and your mother!" "Huh?" "Half demon?" "Mother..." "What is a half demon?" "Inuyasha..." "Huh?" "!" "Kagome." "Thinking about Shiori?" "Not only that." "Inuyasha." "Stupid!" "I'm not...!" "It must've been hard for you..." "I probably couldn't imagine the hardship..." "Inuyasha?" "I... not only me..." "Shippo and Myoga..." "I know." "Good boy!" "Oww!" "Don't treat me like a dog!" "Huh?" "!" "What's the matter?" "Huh?" "That's...!" "A whole colony of Demon Bats!" "Ikutsu namida o nagashitara" "If there were many tears falling down." "every heart sunao ni nareru darou" "Every heart would become gentle."
