"However..." "I don't get Kikyo's scent from this arrow." "It's different..." "What is this smell?" "it's not the smell of any of our allies." "Not the smell of an ally?" "Thinking about what you said... I didn't sense Kikyo's spiritual powers." "Then... who was it?" "That arrow helped Inuyasha." "Perhaps it was a friendly hand lent by St. Hijiri." "That's right." "That could be it." "St. Hijiri..." "We must hurry to this St. Hijiri." "too." "we are almost at the village." "I hope they were able to hold out." "do not move." "W-Will we really be safe?" "Won't they break through?" "When will St. Hijiri return?" "Hah!" "A barrier?" "Such insolence!" "Quite strong for something erected by humans." "Then I'll force them to come out." "Go!" "Aghh!" "The birds are aflame!" "We're surrounded by fire!" "We'll be burned alive!" "I can't take it anymore!" "This side's not burning." "Huh?" "!" "Let's make a run for it!" "Do not leave the barrier." "St. Hijiri has returned!" "Please save us!" "The one who erected the barrier..." "Slay him!" "Huh?" "!" "We're saved!" "My birds... are gone!" "Damn!" "What's going on?" "!" "I've had nothing but interference!" "S-She's gone!" "It's the power of St. Hijiri!" "Thank you!" "St. Hijiri!" "We passed the summit." "We should reach St. Hijiri's village soon." "we may learn St. Hijiri's identity." "There it is." "Yeah!" "I smell blood and something burning." "What?" "It's coming from around that craggy mountain." "Let's hurry!" "This is!" "St. Hijiri exterminated them." "We're so grateful." "He wiped out a whole flock of birds with a single arrow." "A single arrow?" "And where is this St. Hijiri?" "St. Hijiri has left this area." "Huh?" "He said he would find the birds' nest and destroy them all." "We are ever so thankful." "Seems we just missed him." "Inuyasha..." "Should we go after him?" "After this St. Hijiri?" "you know." "Kagome..." "Inuyasha..." "Kikyo..." "Was killed by Naraku." "But..." "I didn't see Kikyo die." "Nor did I see her body." "why haven't you shown yourself to me?" "Kagome..." "Kagome is so brave." "How is she able to speak up like that?" "about Kikyo? we're sure to cross paths at some point." "If her aim is to find the birds' nest." "but..." "Inuyasha becomes so indecisive whenever he sees her..." "Kagome has forgiven him. and make him a cripple." "Are you talking about me?" "She's serious!" "you okay with this?" "With what?" "what about you?" "If St. Hijiri turns out to be Kikyo..." "I dunno..." "Huh..." "He's so honest." "But..." "But if that's true... it'll mean that Naraku failed to kill Kikyo." "And that means... he'll come and try to kill her once more." "we'll just concentrate on finding the birds' nest and destroying them." "Yes." "Damn!" "Just who are you?" "To be able to break through my barrier?" "Such a stubborn kid!" "Huh?" "!" "Am I really seeing this?" "!" "this kid..." "but he's hollow inside." "Is his heart..." "somewhere else?" "Mistress Kaede!" " Terrible news!" " Mistress Kaede!" "What is it?" "Well..." "What?" "!" "Is that true?" "Yes!" "And where did you see this suspicious light?" "We just saw it falling from the sky... towards our lady Kikyo's shrine." "What?" "!" "There it is!" "Huh?" "W-What..." "Demons?" "what were they?" "!" "Hmm..." "They weren't demons." "They were probably shikigami messengers sent by someone." "I did not sense any evil aura from them." "Mistress Kaede!" "Huh?" "Take a look at this!" "What is it?" "It looks like they dug here." "What?" "!" "Kikyo's ashes and dirt from her grave were taken." "Not again!" "Who would take soil from Sister Kikyo's grave?" "!" "For what purpose?" "Naraku's demons?" "They seem to be looking for something." "Uh huh..." "Probably looking for St. Hijiri... he poses a problem." "So Naraku realizes this as well?" "That St. Hijiri may be Kikyo..." "If so..." "Does he intend to find her and kill her again?" "St. Hijiri..." "We've heard rumors." "We heard that he was seen hereabouts." "I dunno..." "But it could be a sign from him." "two strange streaks of light appeared in the sky." "And they were sucked into the forbidden mountain." "Forbidden"?" "Yeah..." "Only the selected may enter." "Inuyasha?" "we have nothing else to go on." "Weren't we looking for the birds' nest?" "Huh? that goal seems to have changed to meeting this St. Hijiri." "don't say things like that in front of Kagome." "Kagome probably noticed that already." "It's that mountain." "something is sparkling..." "Water maybe?" "could be a waterfall." "Demons..." "They're looking for St. Hijiri." "have you noticed them?" "You mean Naraku's demons?" "Yeah." "huh?" "Or..." "There're more and more of them!" "It seems they're all heading toward the forbidden mountain." "Does that mean Kikyo is there?" "What the!" "A sacred arrow!" "St. Hijiri is here in this mountain!" "Let's go!" "T-They're coming from below!" "Hiraikotsu!" "Move!" "This is no good!" "Miroku!" "Sango!" "Take care of Kagome!" "Huh?" "everyone!" "what're you!" "Isn't it obvious?" "!" "I'll follow you!" "Go and find this St. Hijiri!" "Huh?" "Go on!" "Kirara!" "Inuyasha!" "Is it okay for us to see him first?" "If St. Hijiri is really Kikyo..." "I don't know..." "what I'll do." "But..." "Wind Scar!" "I have to meet him and see for myself..." "Or I won't be able to get on with my life." "Is that Kikyo?" "I don't get Kikyo's scent from him." "But..." "Your face!" "Let me see your face!" "I wonder if Inuyasha will be okay?" "He'll come after us as soon as he's done." "She's right." "Inuyasha is the one who most wants to meet St. Hijiri." "Sango!" "More demons!" "Shippo..." "Stay here!" "Uh huh!" "Kirara!" "Hiraikotsu!" "K-Kagome..." "I-I'm with you!" "Uh huh!" "I must be strong!" "K-Kagome... demons!" "Huh?" "What's that?" "!" "Soul Collectors!" "K-Kagome!" "Where are you going?" "So Kikyo really is..." "Kagome!" "I'm going after them!" "Kikyo may be there!" "Wait!" "Don't be so hasty!" "S-She disappeared!" "A barrier..." "Answer!" "Are you Kikyo or not?" "A potent aura has ravaged her flesh." "Her body cannot be restored to its original form." "She also lost her voice." "She fights with her spirit alone." "However... soon her strength will run out." "Back then..." "She didn't die?" "Kikyo!" "You are Kikyo!" "Kikyo!" "Huh?" "!" "Kikyo!" "Kikyo!" "Huh?" "This is..." "A paper doll?" "Damn that Kikyo is elusive!" "Kagura!" "What's going on?" "!" "That's my question." "Sending me on a fool's errand!" "Is Kikyo alive?" "!" "Hmm..." "At least Naraku thinks so." "The arrow that broke through Hakudoshi's barrier had dirt from Onigumo's cave on its arrowhead." "Huh?" "Onigumo?" "So that was the scent from that arrow..." "The soil there is infused with Onigumo's longing for Kikyo." "And that protects Kikyo from Naraku." "Kikyo is the only one who can benefit from Onigumi's dirt." "we've been chasing around after a fake." "See ya!" "Naraku's most troublesome hindrance is still alive..." "Hah..." "This is starting to get very interesting." "Those two have also disappeared..." "Is Kikyo really..." "Kikyo..." "Is alive somewhere." "Are they calling to me?" "Huh?" "!" "A waterfall..." "Huh?" "!"
