InuYasha (犬夜叉)

It's Inuyasha!

That'll teach you!

With this in my possession...

I can become a real demon!

Inuyasha!

Ki... Kikyo!

Why, you!

Sister!

Lady Kikyo!

She's badly wounded.

Sister... How did you get hurt?

My cowardliness...

has resulted in this.

And all for this... "Jewel of the Four Souls."

Sister, we must tend to your injury!

I am beyond saving.

So listen to me, Kaede.

Take the Sacred Jewel... and burn it with my body.

It must never get into the hands of evil-doers!

Sister!

Sister!

The Sacred Jewel...

I will take it with me to the other world.

A sacred jewel?

Yes!

This jewel will bring happiness and prosperity without fail!

You're selling this marble thing? Keychain charms are out of style!

It's no ordinary keychain!

The ball at the end is the Sacred Jewel...

This shrine's... Huh?

Now heed this, Kagome.

The origin of this shrine's Sacred Jewel...

Huh?

The origin of this Sacred Jewel is...

Hey Gramps! Remember what day tomorrow is?

Oh, how could I forget my dear granddaughter's birthday?

A present for me?!

The mummified hand of a water imp is sure to bring happiness.

In fact, the origin of that is...

Have a snack, Buyo.

No, don't give it away!

"Origin." Origin, huh?

My family has been the caretaker of a shrine for generations.

Now then, the origin of these pickled vegetables is...

They're donations from a shrine-visitor, right?

Huh!?

The thousand-year-old sacred tree.

The legend of the Hidden Well.

Everything has some origin.

I've been told the stories countless times.

Yet I never paid any attention to them.

Until today...when I turned fifteen.

Kagome! Phone call!

The review notes? Sure, I'll bring them today.

I know!

I'm off!

Huh? Sota?

Sis...

You're not supposed to play around here.

But Buyo...

Did he go into the Hidden Well?

Buyo!

I think he's at the bottom.

Why don't you go down?

This place gives me the creeps.

Such a scaredy cat! Be a man!

Something's down there!

Yeah, the cat!

Aw, man...

That sound?

From inside the well?

Buyo!

You scared me!

Don't scream so loud, Sis!

Watch it! I'm down here 'cause you're scared!

Sis!

Sis!

Huh?!

Such joy! I can feel my strength returning!

My body is coming to life again!

You have it, don't you?

Don't you?

Let me go! You're disgusting!

Let me go, I said!

You little!

You won't escape from me!

The Sacred Jewel!

The Sacred Jewel?

Huh?

Am I inside the well?

Was that a dream?

It wasn't a dream!

I gotta get out!

Sota! Are you there?

Get Gramps!

That kid! He ran away!

Huh?

Where's this?

I know I fell into the well at the shrine, but...

Gramps! Mom?

Gramps! Mom!

Sota... Buyo...

The shrine is gone.

The Sacred Tree!

What a relief! I'm close to home!

A boy?

Hey, what're you doing?

These...

aren't human ears.

I want to touch them...

Though maybe I shouldn't be doing that.

You there! What're you up to?!

Hey! Why am I tied up?!

A young girl in strange clothing.

From a foreign land?

Will there be war again?

Just before rice-planting season?

We're so short-handed as it is!

Perhaps she's a fox in disguise?

Better a shape-changer than another war.

Topknots...topknots...

All of them have topknots!

Where is this place?!

Make way for High Priestess Kaede!

Great. Here comes ANOTHER weirdo.

Hey! What're you doing?!

They told me a demon was found in the Inuyasha Forest.

I thought some ritual purification was in order.

Then could she be a foreign spy?

Yes, but to spy on what?!

We can barely feed ourselves in this village.

You there. Let me take a good look at your face.

Look clever, girl!

You!

Such a likeness... to my sister Kikyo.

Looks delicious! Thank you!

Forgive us.

With so many wars these days...

our young ones have become rash.

Even if I tell them we've no business with wars...

they refuse to listen and only give me more to worry about.

This, uh... isn't Tokyo, is it.

"Tokyo"? Never heard of such a place.

Is that your homeland?

Yes, well...
