InuYasha (犬夜叉)

- LOOKS LIKE THE VILLAGE WHERE I LIVED WITH FATHER.

- COME ON, SHIPPO. LET'S GO.

COMING.

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU SURE ABOUT THIS?

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE KIND OF PLACE

WE'D FIND A JEWEL SHARD.

HOW ABOUT IT?

ARE YOU SENSING A SHARD

OF THE SACRED JEWEL HERE, KAGOME?

- NO. NOT AT ALL.

- WELL, I GUESS WE MIGHT AS WELL SPLIT UP

AND SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND.

SEE YOU LATER.

- HUH? HMM.

- YES? WHAT IS IT?

- SO, CONVINCE ME THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING WOMANIZING.

WILL YOU, MONK?

- LOOK! THE SIGN OF A DEMON PRESENCE! - HUH?

HEY, COME BACK HERE. HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALLOUS?

UH, WHAT'S WITH YOU?

WHERE YOU GOING, INUYASHA?

WE HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED LOOKING YET.

- IF THERE WAS A DEMON AROUND, I'D SMELL HIM.

SURE THING, SLACKER.

AHH. WHAT A GORGEOUS DAY.

WAIT.

I WONDER WHERE SHIPPO WENT.

- I DON'T KNOW. WHO KNOWS.

PROBABLY WENT OFF TO PLAY.

HE'S JUST A KID, REMEMBER. - COME BACK HERE!

- ONE DAY THEY'LL APPRECIATE WHAT I DO FOR THEM.

- WE'VE BEEN IN A LOT OF BATTLES LATELY.

KAGOME AND INUYASHA COULD PROBABLY USE SOME TIME ALONE.

UHH.

- HEY, YOU, STOP! - HEY, GRAB HIM! - GRAB HIM!

- STOP RUNNING! - GET HER! - QUIT IT!

- SATSUKI, YOU STOLE THE DRY PERSIMMONS FROM MY HOUSE.

YOU CAN'T PROVE THAT I DID IT.

- YOU'RE A THIEF. - UHH.

- YOU'LL BE SORRY, 'CAUSE WHEN MY BROTHER COMES HOME,

YOU'RE ALL GONNA GET IT.

RIGHT.

EXCEPT THAT YOUR BROTHER DIED A LONG TIME AGO

IN THE CIVIL WAR.

- MY PA WAS RIGHT THERE WITH HIM WHEN HE WAS SLAIN.

MY BROTHER ISN'T DEAD!

GET OFF HIM!

YOU LYING THIEF! - YOU'RE LYING!

HUH?

YOU WRETCHED SCOUNDRELS!

RUN, YOU GUYS!

HUH?

SURE SHOWED THEM.

YOU'LL BE SAFE NOW.

THANK YOU, LITTLE RACCOON.

I'M A FOX.

- WELL, THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR HELP.

DO YOU WANT SOME? - HUH?

- IT'S THE PERSIMMON THAT I TOOK.

YOU'LL LIKE IT.

- TERRIFIC. I SAVED A THIEF.

- YOU'RE STRONG FOR A LITTLE GUY.

I'M SATSUKI. WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

UM, MY NAME IS SHIPPO.

SHIPPO?

THAT'S A REALLY NICE NAME.

MY FATHER GAVE IT TO ME.

- IS YOUR FATHER A DEMON RACCOON, TOO?

- NO. A FOX.

JUST TEASING.

- SATSUKI, SO DON'T YOU HAVE ANY PARENTS?

THEY PASSED AWAY YEARS AGO.

TOO BAD.

- IT'S OK, BECAUSE I STILL HAVE A BIG BROTHER.

HE'S GONNA PROVE HIMSELF IN THE WAR

AND BECOME A SAMURAI.

THEN HE'S COMING BACK FOR ME.

HUH?

SO WERE THOSE BOYS LYING TO YOU BEFORE THEN?

YOUR BROTHER DIDN'T DIE?

HE'S GONNA COME BACK HOME.

EVEN IF HE IS DEAD, HE'LL COME BACK TO LIFE.

UH...

HEY, I'LL SHOW YOU SOMETHING

THAT I'VE NEVER SHOWN TO ANYONE BEFORE.

IT'S MY TREASURE, AND IT CAN MAKE ANY WISH COME TRUE.

ISN'T IT PRETTY?

IT'S A SHIKON JEWEL SHARD,

A PRECIOUS GEM SOUGHT BY DEMONS.

IT'S THE SACRED JEWEL!

WHAT IS THIS?

IT'S A SACRED JEWEL SHARD,

AND IT WILL GRANT ANY WISH.

I'LL BECOME A SAMURAI. I PROMISE.

UH-HUH.

MY BROTHER WOULD NEVER LIE TO ME.

HMM.

ARE YOU CERTAIN, MONK?

IS MY HOME INDEED POSSESSED BY A DEMON?

YES.

AND WE MUST EXORCISE IT IMMEDIATELY.

THIS IS MY DUTY AS A MAN OF THE CLOTH.

I EXPECT NO PAYMENT, HEADMAN.

ABSURD.

YOU SHALL ALL BE GIVEN

A MEAL AND A BED TONIGHT.

- LOOK AT THAT GUY, LYING THROUGH HIS TEETH AGAIN.

SHH.

- HMM? HMM.

- UHH. WHAT?

SHH.

HMM.

EARTHQUAKE?

YOU MEAN THERE WAS A DEMON?

SO YOU DIDN'T JUST MAKE IT UP?

- THERE'S A FIRST FOR EVERYTHING.

PARDON ME?

YOU GUYS!

HMM?

KAGOME!

YOU FOUND US.

HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT WE WERE HERE?

- I FIGURED MIROKU WOULDN'T WASTE ANY TIME EXORCISING

THE WEALTHIEST-LOOKING HOUSE IN THE VILLAGE.

YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT!

I FOUND A SHARD OF THE JEWEL!

- SHE HAS IT? - HMM?

IF IT ISN'T SATSUKI.

LISTEN, SATSUKI.

DO YOU THINK I COULD TAKE A QUICK LOOK

AT THAT JEWEL SHARD OF YOURS?

YOU WON'T STEAL IT, WILL YOU?

- SURE, WE WILL, IF THE JEWEL SHARD'S REAL.

INUYASHA, SIT, BOY.

UHH!

DON'T WORRY. I JUST WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

OH, NO!

IF IT IS REAL, WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE IT FROM HER!

THEN SATSUKI'S WISH WON'T COME TRUE!

AAH!

OH, STUPID ME! WHAT HAVE I DONE?

STUPID! STUPID!

HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO STUPID!

IT'S UNBELIEVABLE HOW STUPID I CAN BE! - KAGOME?

HUH?

- THAT'S ENOUGH NOW. I'M GONNA GO HOME.

THANKS FOR SHOWING IT TO US.

UH, YOU'RE GONNA LET HER GO?

- SATSUKI, WON'T YOU CONSIDER COMING TO LIVE WITH US?

NO, THANKS.

MY BROTHER WILL COME FOR ME ANY DAY NOW.

- UHH. KAGOME, WHAT ABOUT THE SHARD?

- WELL, SHIPPO, THAT WAS JUST A STONE FLOWER.

ARE YOU SURE?

CALLED QUARTZ, TO BE EXACT.

IT'S ONLY A COMMON ROCK FOUND IN THE MOUNTAINS.

IT'S NOT A SACRED JEWEL SHARD.

IT'S JUST A FAKE.

POOR SATSUKI.

SUCH A PITIFUL CHILD.

HER BROTHER TRULY HAS PASSED ON,

BUT SATSUKI REFUSES TO BELIEVE IT.

HOW SAD.

PLEASE, SHARD.

BRING MY BROTHER BACK HOME TO ME.

- I'VE TOLD HER TO COME LIVE WITH US,

BUT SHE WON'T MOVE FROM THE HUT SHE SHARED WITH HER BROTHER.

- I MAY HAVE BEEN DRIVEN FROM THE HEADMAN'S RESIDENCE,

BUT I'LL HAVE MY RETALIATION.

I'LL USE THE GIRL.

- THE SACRED JEWEL HAS THE POWER TO CREATE NARAKU'S INCARNATIONS.

IF A WISH WERE MADE ON A REAL SHARD,

WOULD SATSUKI'S BROTHER COME BACK TO LIFE AND RETURN HOME?

HUH?

I CAN'T STAND GEOMETRY.

- HMM. FORGIVE ME, KAGOME.

HEY.

OH, INUYASHA,

I THOUGHT YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN FAST ASLEEP BY NOW.

LET ME TAKE IT! I NEED TO HELP SOMEONE! COME ON!

OH, DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

SHIPPO, YOU KNOW HOW POWERFUL

ONE SHARD OF THE SACRED JEWEL IS.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU GO AROUND GIVING TO HUMANS.

BESIDES, WHY ALL THE SUDDEN NEED

TO HELP THAT NEW FRIEND OF YOURS?

HE'S INFATUATED, OBVIOUSLY,

AND SHE WAS FAIRLY ATTRACTIVE, I MUST ADMIT.

- SO THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.

YOU'RE ONE TO CRITICIZE!

SURE, I MAY HAVE FALLEN FOR HER,

BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU

DARTING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN KIKYO AND KAGOME?

GET TO SLEEP.

I'M SORRY.
