"It all started with the Sacred Tree." "Fighting and searching for our dreams... and a strong bond is formed between us." "A new hope!" "A bright future begins now!" "Demon rats go on a wild stampede." "Just what is Naraku's aim in causing this?" "comes to a decision after much anguish." "The final shard guides us!" "a new day awaits in the age of warring states!" "A Feudal Fairytale!" "Inuyasha!" "The tears shed for another" "Dareka no tame naga su namida as if they are a prayer." "iinori no you ni woha ni tsutau" "Please don't hide them as if they're a weakness." "Sore wo yowaza to kakusa naiide" "Please accept them as a kindness." "Yasashi za touke iirete" "The sun will only shine" "Kokyu sae mo wasure saseru hitomi no naka ni mitsuke tasora which makes me forget to breathe."

"sono kokoro ni tsuyosa wo" "The Angelus will reach the future" "Miraii hetadori tsuku Angelus with fragments of passion in its hands." "jounetsu no kakera wo teni shite" "Hakudoshi?" "It's because of that arrow." "Go!" "Naraku!" "That same arrow broke my barrier once before." "Kikyo is alive." "Only she could imbue an arrow with so much will." "Why don't you go immediately to kill her?" "I cannot sense her presence." "Is she seriously trying to hide herself?" "Then it will mean that she has not completely recovered." "I must lure her out now and finish her off." "There's no mistake..." "Naraku and Hakudoshi's heart is Hakudoshi's other half... that infant." "Neither Naraku nor Hakudoshi have died." "Is it because they are demons?" "What must I do to defeat Naraku?" "Hey Kohaku..." "Huh?" "You haven't been told?" "About what?" "That infant. where were you supposed to take it?" "I don't know." "That infant?" "I was ordered to take it out of the castle." "What would you do if you knew its whereabouts?" "I'm always telling you... that Sacred Jewel shard will be removed from your body and you'll die." "you won't be saved." "can Naraku be killed?" "Kagura is trying to betray Naraku." "But..." "I don't know anything." "Oh really?" "I can't have them finding out..." "That I've remembered everything." "That I'm after Naraku's life." "I'll come across that infant again." "I must not disobey Naraku's orders." "come all! I shall cut this sheet of paper." "From one into two!" "Then two into four!" "Then four in eight!" "32 and 64 pieces!" "where did Inuyasha go leaving us here like this?" "Umm..." "I wonder..." "I wonder where?" "To Kikyo." "Huh?" "To the spot where he last met Kikyo." "But that's..." "Huh?" "It's okay." "He can do as he pleases." "Inuyasha..." "Kikyo!" "You've hidden yourself away again." "You haven't recovered all your strength yet?" "Inuyasha is late." "Hey Kagome..." "Shouldn't we have gone with him?" "He probably wanted to talk to Kikyo alone." "Kagome?" "No reason." "That Inuyasha is such a problem!" "Still wagging his tail and going after a woman from his past!" "Although it is said about dogs:" "a dog never forgets." "Who's a pet?" "And so?" "What did you talk about?" "Kikyo wasn't there." "You don't have to lie." "Huh?" "!" "Why would I have to lie?" "Stupid!" "Sit." "Why you...!" "Sit!" "I was kind to you and let you go off by yourself." "Sit!" "At least be up front about what you talked about!" "Sit!" "There's no sense in having any consideration for you!" "Sit!" "after all." "Poor Kagome." "It doesn't pay to be understanding." "You guys..." "I got it for you." "lure Kikyo out." "And take..." "Let's see..." " Kohaku." " Huh?" "Do as Hakudoshi tells you." "Yes." "The method is up to you." "Just make sure that Kikyo cannot stay in hiding." "Right. and devour the bones yourself." "You are Zushinezumi... huh?" "Huh?" "Brat..." "Are you a survivor of this house?" "Perfect timing." "I had a hankering for bones like yours." "Hmm..." "Kohaku." "Bring that little shrine that he has on his back." "All right." "Don't make a mistake and open it here." "Or you'll die." "T-That's...!" "What is that?" "No!" "Do you sense something strange?" "Huh?" "Something's coming!" "Huh?" "H-Help us!" "Grandpa!" "Are they being pursued by something?" "That's...!" "Huh?" "!" "Demon rats!" "Inuyasha!" "Stop!" "Wha...?" "!" "What?" "!" "They've increased!" "I knew it..." "Zushinezumi." "Wha...?" "!" "Why these...!" "Don't kill them!" "the more they increase." "How do you exterminate them?" "With toxic smoke." "But without special medicinal herbs..." "You don't have them with you?" "Unfortunately..." "Then there's only this...!" "Wind Tunnel!" "The village was attacked?" "my grandson and I were up in the mountain behind the village." "But... everyone else in the village..." "Grandpa!" "Sango..." "You called them Zushi... nezumi?" "There should be a large rat who is their chief." "He keeps the rats in a miniature shrine which he carries on his back." "And he releases them to kill humans and animals." "But..." "He only attacks what he plans to eat." "I've never heard of a large pack of rats attacking a village." "There's bound to be many more." "I can smell rats far away." "And it's as though their numbers are steadily increasing." "I-Increasing?" "!" "You two must get further away." "What about you?" "We're gonna check to see what's happening!" "I can smell them!" "The way they're increasing isn't normal." "What's going on anyway?" "!" "don't they?" "The rats will scatter everywhere and attack wherever humans live." "Huh?" "R-Rats?" "!" "Why you...!" "their numbers will increase." "this land will be devoured by rats." "Will Kikyo come out of hiding?" "Oh..." "That's right." "I suppose she will." "She'll soon know what's happening here." "just to lure Kikyo out of hiding!" "Kocho." "Yes?" "There is something I need." "It is in the western mountains." "Everywhere is overrun by rats." "Sango..." "You said that Zushinezumi increase right?" "Yes. so they keep increasing." "we can't trace the source." "you mean the miniature shrine?" "Yes. the rats will disappear." "Miroku and Sango are so late." "too? you tend to go crazy and swing your sword around." "That'll only make the rats increase." "Are you implying that I'm stupid?" "you figured that out quickly." "Owwee!" "Inuyasha!" "Look!" "Saimyosho!" "Does that mean Naraku is behind this rampage of the Zushinezumi?" "!" "Hah!" "I figured as much." "I didn't think he died in that fight." "they've returned!" "too?" "The Saimyosho?" "Yes." "Is Naraku looking for us to get revenge?" "I think..." "He wants us to know that he's the one behind all this." "Whaddya mean?" "Doesn't it seem as though he's trying to lure someone out?" "Us... or..." "Kikyo!" "He's right!" "Naraku's after Kikyo..." "Mistress Kikyo..." "Kocho is back." "Mistress Kikyo..." "Here is the branch of ogatama which you asked for." "Good." "we are descending the mountain." "What is...?" "!" "The rats who were scattered are starting to gather." "It's like they're headed for one place." "Look..." "They're forming one line." "there is a mayose." "Mayose?" "then destroys them." "But only one with immense spiritual power can cast such a spell." "The only one capable of this... is Kikyo." "At the end of this flow of rats is Kikyo!" "Inuyasha!" "K-Kagome!" "where the rats are coming from." "Sango!" "It bothers me... that the number of rats hasn't decreased at all." "Which means that the shrine is still releasing rats." "So we must go to the source or this will not end." "Let's split into two groups." "I'll go with Sango." "Huh?" "Kikyo has made her move." "you stay here." "Guard the shrine." "Do not close the doors." "Yes." "Say Kagome... too?" "Huh?" "Yes..." "Naraku is after Kikyo's life." "Shippo?" "Then you shoulda gone with Miroku and Sango!" "No way!" "When you and Kikyo meet who's gonna console Kagome?" "Huh?" "you two-timing dog?" "!" "Keep it up and I'll drop you!" "look at that!" "Huh?" "Grandpa!" "it's okay." "Namuhachiban daibosatsu..." "Shippo!" "Do you have anything that rats hate?" "How's this?" "Fire bomb!" "Make your escape now!" "O-Okay!" "Thank you." "How's that?" "!" "The power of my fire bomb!" "Inuyasha!" "Look!" "The rats are climbing something!" "I-lt looks like a tree." "A tree?" "It reaches up all the way to heaven!" "The rats are disappearing into the sky..." "Is this the mayose?" "This village seems to have been devoured some time ago." "it was in the path of the rats." "How cruel..." "Kirara!" "Why?" "Kikyo has come out of hiding." "Do not close the doors." "That bastard!" "He was enjoying this!" "the rats will stop." "Even now..." "It may save some lives." "I'm being watched..." "Naraku will know that my memory has returned." "Kohaku!" "Huh?" "!" "Were you behind this?" "!" "Sister..." "Kohaku... I saw countless villages devoured by rats." "How I wish you were not a part of this!" "I cannot... disobey my orders!" "Kohaku!" "Sango!" "Brand-new world Atarashii yume no hajimari the beginning of a new dream."
