the middle of the mouth is the body of what appears to be a human warrior,
who has a whole right through the middle of the chest. There is thick slime
covering everything.]

walking through a forest.]

Miroku: Why don't we take a little rest, huh.
Inuyasha: Hn~n?
[Inuyasha looks back at the others.]
Inuyasha: You're the one who said to go to the castle and talk to the guys there.
[Inuyasha looks back, and Shippou looks to be asleep on Miroku's shoulder.]
Miroku: I'm saying if we continue walking like this, Kagome-sama wouldn't be able to take it.

Inuyasha: ...
[Closeup of Inuyasha.]
Inuyasha: You tired Kagome?
[Kagome does look to be drooping a bit.]

Kagome: I've been putting up with it until now!
[Kagome continues to shout at Inuyasha, who backs away.]
Kagome: Besides which, I'm just an ordinary human girl aren't I!
Kagome: If I tried to follow your pace, I'd die.
( Kagome uses a foreign loan-word for 'pace' - which the others probably
wouldn't understand. (unless they're picking up Japlish from Kagome))
[Miroku gives a little speech which seems to surprise Inuyasha.]
Miroku: Pay attention to other's needs.
Miroku: Don't try anything fancy, just say, "I love you", or "I'm in love with you".
Fx Kagome: *clap clap clap*
Myouga: _Eh_.
[Myouga turns to Inuyasha who shouts back angrily.]
Myouga: Inuyasha-sama! When did you say that!?
Inuyasha: Shut up!
( I'm not really sure what Miroku's saying above, or why Kagome's clapping -
attempting a "time out" or something...?)

[Something seems to be approaching the ground rapidly.]

Title: Nemesis
( 'Nemesis' is the best translation I could think of for 'kataki', which is
often translated as just 'enemy'. However, the word is often used in
association with avenging someone's death. Naraku has also been described
as being Kikyou's 'kataki'.)

Inuyasha: Why you.
[Sango turns to the side to see Myouga sitting on her shoulder.]

[Miroku picks up the puppet and Inuyasha comes over.]
Inuyasha: A... _doll_?
Miroku: It's tied with some hair.
[Miroku looks at a strand of hair.]

shallowly filled with soil, inside some room. There is a crack across it.]

[Inuyasha is holding some burnt post, and is looking angry.]
Inuyasha: Damn this all.
Inuyasha: What's with that 'Sango' girl.
[Inuyasha turns to look at Miroku who's made a fire.]
Inuyasha: She couldn't even remember what this suspicious 'young-master' at the castle looked like.
Miroku: Stop jabbering and tidy up.
[Closeup side view of Miroku.]
Miroku: This is Naraku we're talking about.
Miroku: Until his crimes are detected, unless you have other suggestions, we can't go back, can we.
Miroku: Besides...
Page 14
[Miroku continues to look at the fire.]
Fx fire: *crackle crackle*
Miroku: Even if she remembers, she also has those wounds.
Miroku: For the moment, Sango shouldn't be moving about.
[Inuyasha comes over to Miroku, pointing at himself, while Miroku gives him
a flat look.]
Inuyasha: Whatever, but you're not going to let her stay in bed for 10 fucking days are you?
Inuyasha: If it was me, I'd be healed in 3 days.
Miroku: If it was me, I'd stay in bed for a month.
[View of some run-down looking building.]
[Kagome is smiling, and carrying a medical box, and some bandages.]
Kagome: Sango-san,
Kagome: I've brought some bandages...
[Kagome and Shippou have stopped at the entrance to the building, which has
a pallet on the floor, with nobody in it.]
Kagome: Ah...
Shippou: She's gone.
Page 15
[View of the sky.]
Fx wind: whoosh...
[View of the graves, with the weapons and flowers on top. Super-imposed is Sango.]
[Sango is sitting in front of the graves, with Kirara beside her.]
[Kagome comes running up, looking a bit flustered, and Sango turns slightly
to the side.]
Kagome: Sango-san, you gotta sleep some more...
[Closeup of Sango.]
Sango: The graves...
[Kagome looks a bit surprised.]
Kagome: Eh...
Page 16
[Kagome comes to stand beside Sango.]
Sango: You made graves for everyone.
Kagome: Ah...
Kagome: Yeah.
[Kagome crouches beside Sango, who looks depressed.]
Kagome: .......
[Kagome looks rather uncertain.]
Kagome: Um, um well,
Kagome: I don't really know what to say...
[Closeup of Kagome thinking.]
Kagome: .oO("Cheer up..." wouldn't do at all.).
Kagome: .oO(Because this girl has been left all alone...).
[Kagome seems to hit on something, though Sango doesn't respond.]
Kagome: Oh, that's right.
Kagome: When you're healed, why don't we go together?
[Kagome continues, looking positive, though Shippou seems a bit surprised.]
Kagome: Inuyasha and Miroku-sama are both really nice people, on a fundamental level.
Shippou: Fundamental...?
Page 17
[Sango seems to change the subject.]
Sango: You... have the Shikon fragment, don't you.
Kagome: Eh...
[Kagome takes out the glowing fragment.]
Kagome: Yeah...
Kagome: Anyhow, we got it back from the fake Naraku, though...
[Closeup side view of Sango.]
Sango: Meaning Naraku will...
Sango: come after that again, right...
[Sango turns to Kagome.]
Sango: Fine.
Sango: I will go with you.
[Closeup of Kagome.]
Kagome: Sango-san...
Kagome: You're planning to avenge everyone aren't you.
[Closeup of Sango.]
Sango: Well yeah.
Sango: Besides, the Shikon no Tama...
[Closeup of Kagome.]
Kagome: was born in this town, wasn't it?
Page 18
[Closeup side view of Kagome.]
Kagome: We heard about that,
Kagome: but when we came...
[Kagome turns to see Sango walking off.]
Kagome: Sango-san...?
Fx Sango: *stagger...*
Sango: Just Sango is fine.
( Since Kagome is a pretty proper girl, she has been saying 'Sango-san' -
Sango isn't obviously 'higher' or 'lower' than Kagome, and she is pretty
much a stranger, so '-san' is the only choice. Since Sango said she'll be
going with Kagome (and the others), they won't exactly be strangers
anymore, which is probably why Sango has chosen now to tell Kagome she can
just use 'Sango'.
On a side note, it could be argued that Kagome saying 'Miroku-sama' is more
polite than she really needs to be. Though it probably don't seem like it
most of the time, Kagome does seem to realise Miroku's real nature (and not
the nice face he puts on), and has pretty much since they met - hence 'nice
on a fundamental level'. She could be using '-sama' to put a bit of
distance between her and Miroku. Miroku probably says 'Kagome-sama' partly
because he's always trying to chat up girls, and because Kagome is a bit
beyond a normal girl. Subtle, isn't it.)
[View from behind of Sango.]
Sango: Since you even held a funeral for everyone...
[Sango turns around to face Kagome.]
Sango: I'll tell you about it...
Sango: The reason why the Shikon no Tama was born...
[Kagome looks a bit surprised.]
Kagome: Eh...

Although scene descriptions are provided, it is not nearly the same as
seeing it for yourself. If you enjoy the series, I would strongly
recommend buying the 'tankoubon' (collected version, each about 180
pages or 10 chapters long, costing 410 yen) when they become available
- the first was released on 18th April 1997, and the first 15 are now
Warning: These translations will occationally include strong language,
as well as violence, though this is only when it is present in the
original Japanese version.
Page 1
[View of Kagome with a sort of sad, worried look. Behind her is a figure in
(Japanese style) armor with long black hair, facing away from Kagome.]
Title: Birth of the Jewel
Page 2
[View of the cave entrance near Sango's town.]
Fx sound: rumble...
[Side Inuyasha is carrying Sango on his back, and the others are walking
through the cave.]
Fx Sango: shh...
Sango: Have any of you, been inside this cave...
Sango: and seen _it_?
Inuyasha: Yeah, those mummified Youkai, right?
[View of the mass of dead Youkai.]
Sango: {off} Right, and also...
Page 3
[Closeup of the human figure stuck in the middle.]
Sango: {off} Countless numbers of Youkai merged into one, and increased their power.
Sango: Dragons, ground-spiders, Oni, and so on.
Page 4
[Closeup of Sango.]
Sango: Just to destroy one single human...
[Sango sits on the floor, with Kagome helping her, and the others look around.]
Kagome: A human...?
Sango: and... the Youkai then ate the human.
[Miroku and Inuyasha look up at the warrior with a hole through the chest.]
Miroku: Then... this is a human, as I thought...
[Closeup of the warrior.]
Miroku: {off} Wearing old armor...
Miroku: An ancient general, huh.
Page 5
[Closeup of Sango, looking up.]
Sango: Wrong. That is...
Sango: a woman.
[Closeup of the warrior.]
Sango: {off} Several hundred years ago, she was...
Sango: a Miko.
( A 'miko' is a female (Shinto) priestess. Like Kikyou and Kaede.)
[Kagome's surprised.]
Kagome: .oO(A Miko!?).
Fx Kagome: (heart) *thump...*
[Inuyasha turns to look back at Sango.]
Inuyasha: ......
Page 6
[Closeup of Inuyasha.]
Inuyasha: I see. If Youkai are your opponents,
Inuyasha: then a Miko is about as strong as 100 samurai.
[View of the warrior-Miko.]
Kagome: .oO({off} So then, while this person was alive...).
Kagome: .oO(she fought with Youkai...?).
[View of Kagome, with a depiction of Kikyou behind her with her bow.]
Kagome: .oO(That's like Kikyou.).
Page 7
[Sango continues.]
Sango: It was a time when the nobility were still in control of Japan.
( Several hundred years before the then 'Sengoku Jidai' (Age of Wars), there
was a strong central government in Japan. However, for various reasons, the
government weakened and lost control, and all the local lords started
fighting with each other for control, thus beginning the Sengoku Jidai.)
[FlashBack View of some large buildings, with fire sweaping through.
Sango: {voice over} There were piles of people who had died in war and hunger...
[View in some forest, with Youkai and dead humans.]
Sango: As the corpses and exhausted humans were eaten,
Sango: in no time, the numbers of Youkai increased.
[View of a woman in ancient armor, with long black hair and carrying a
sword, standing in a field. Her face is shadowed.]
Sango: All sorts of Buddhist priests and generals exterminated the Youkai it appears, but,
Sango: above all was the Miko called Midoriko
Sango: who used an attack that drove out Youkai's souls and purified them.
( 'Midoriko' (midori-ko) means 'green child' (sort of), and is a girl's name.
The kanji for 'midori' here is an ancient version.)
Page 8
[FlashBack Midoriko faces a group of large Youkai, but masses of energy crackles from the end of her sword and stabs into the Youkai.
Sango: She had enough spiritual power to destroy 10 Youkai at once...
[Kagome talks to Sango.]
Kagome: Drive out the souls and purify them...?
Sango: Yes, of anything...
[Closeup side view of Sango.]
Sango: In this world there are humans, animals, tree and rocks...
Sango: She could purify all 4 of those souls.
[Closeup of Kagome.]
Kagome: .oO(All four souls...).
Kagome: .oO(Shikon!?).
( 'Shikon' literally has the kanji for '4-souls'.)
[View of Miroku.]
Miroku: In Shinto there is one way of thinking.
Miroku: Namely that 'Shikon' is...
Page 9
[View of Kagome, Shippou and Sango.]
Miroku: {off} Ara-mitama, nigi-mitama, kushi-mitama and saki-mitama.
Miroku: All together these become one spirit, and in the flesh they live inside the heart.
[Miroku continues, though behind him Inuyasha looks a bit stunned.]
Miroku: Ara-mitama is courage,
Miroku: nigi-mitama is family (or friendship),
Miroku: kushi-mitama is wisdom,
Miroku: saki-mitama is to be in charge of love.
Fx Inuyasha: *look vacant*
Miroku: Human nature is correctly maintained between them.
[Kagome and Shippou's eyes are spinning.]
Shippou: I didn't get a thing.
Kagome: It's like... even if he repeated it, [I still wouldn't understand]...
[Inuyasha, sweating somewhat, goes to Miroku.]
Inuyasha: ... And then?
Miroku: If you do evil, the Shikon's actions fall down into evil,
[Inuyasha gives Miroku a blank look.]
Inuyasha: ......
( My head's kinda spinning too...)
[Inuyasha speaks angrily to Miroku.]
Inuyasha: Stop changing things around!
Miroku: Shall I start again?
[Sango puts in a comment.]
Sango: In other words, souls can become good and evil.
Miroku: Right.
Page 10
[FlashBack Midoriko walks down some steps and in the trees and forest are Youkai
Sango: Anyway, the Miko called Midoriko exorcised Shikon,
Sango: and had much experience in using the spell to transform Youkai's power to nothing.
[Continuation of above frame.]
Sango: That's why the Youkai were afraid of Midoriko,
Sango: and started trying to take her life.
[Black frame.]
Sango: But even if they attacked her suddenly, they were all exorcised.
[Swirling black frame.]
Sango: Which is why, to overcome Midoriko's spiritual powers, a soul with massive evil was needed.
[Kagome talks to Sango.]
Kagome: Then the Youkai become one...?
Kagome: How...?
Page 11
[Sango points in front of her, near the base of the mummy.]
Sango: Take a look, over there...
[Kagome and Sango look at something.]
Sango: There's one more, isn't there?
Kagome: Eh...!?
[View of a man's head and hand sticking through the side of a large Youkai.]
Kagome: Ah...?
[Closeup of the man.]
Kagome: {off} That's also a human...?
[Closeup of Sango.]
Sango: There was a man who secretly loved Midoriko.
[FlashBack A group of Youkai close in on a man.
Sango: {voice over} The Youkai took advantage of the man's weakness,
Sango: and possessed him.
Page 12
[Patchy frame.]
Sango: Many Youkai merged into one,
Sango: as using a human with an evil heart to _anchor_ with was the easiest.
[View of Kagome, looking a bit wide-eyed.]
Kagome: .oO(Eh...?).
Kagome: .oO(This story...).
Kagome: .oO(I've heard it somewhere before...).
[Inuyasha and Miroku look on.]
Inuyasha: ......
Miroku: Inuyasha.
[Closeup of Miroku turning to Inuyasha.]
Miroku: This story is like it's about Naraku...
[FlashBack A host of Youkai eat into Onigumo.
Miroku: {voice over} Isn't it the same as when wild-thief Onigumo submitted his body to the Youkai,
Miroku: and was reborn as Naraku as the outcome?
Page 13
[Sango is a bit surprised.]
Sango: Naraku was...?
[Closeup of Inuyasha.]
Inuyasha: Continue the story, Sango.
Inuyasha: Did this Miko...
[View of the dead Miko warrior.]
Inuyasha: {off} beat the Youkai, or did she lose?
[Closeup of Sango.]
Sango: The battle continued to 7 days and 7 nights.
[FlashBack A huge Youkai, composed several smaller Youkai has Midoriko in it's mouth, and one of her arms has been bitten off. Lightning crackles in the background.
Sango: And finally, Midoriko exhausted her power, and her body was eaten.
Page 14
[FlashBack Closeup of Midoriko (though we still don't see her face), as the tongue of the main head drills through her chest.
Sango: It seems her soul was absorbed.
[Midoriko punches into the main head with some force.]
Sango: At that moment Midoriko, with the last of her power, seized the Youkai's soul,
Sango: and her own soul was taken in...
[A blast of power comes out of Midoriko's back.]
Sango: and forced out of her body.
[Black frame.]
Sango: There the Youkai and Midoriko both died...
[View of a human heart in pool of blood, with a small ball beside it.]
Sango: The cluster of souls remained...
Sango: That is the Shikon no Tama.
Page 15
[FlashBack Black frame with the Shikon no Tama
Sango: But... even though their body had been destroyed,
Sango: inside the Shikon no Tama, Midoriko and the Youkai's souls continue to fight...
[Kagome looks a bit surprised.]
Kagome: Eh...?
[Closeup of Sango.]
Sango: In truth, depending upon the soul of the person who holds the Shikon no Tama,
Sango: they become better or worse, it seems.
[Misty frame.]
Sango: If a Youkai or evil person holds it, their corruption increases...
Sango: If someone with a pure soul holds it, then they are cleansed...
Page 16
[View of the outside of Sango's town.]
Sango: In the hundreds of years since, various Youkai and humans have gotten hold of the Shikon no Tama on occasion,
Sango: and in my grandfather's time, he brought it back to this town.
[Kagome and Sango look at the pile of Youkai.]
Kagome: Brought back...?
Sango: He got it from a Youkai he exterminated.
Sango: Soon afterwards grandfather also died from the wounds he got at the time...
[Black frame with the Shikon no Tama.]
Sango: But by that time, the Shikon no Tama had already been,
Sango: dirtied badly...
[Inuyasha thinks to himself. Behind him is a drawing of Kikyou holding the Jewel.]
Inuyasha: .oO(Then...).
Inuyasha: .oO(it was entrusted into Kikyou's hands, huh.).
Page 17
[Closeup of Kagome.]
Kagome: Because Kikyou purified the Jewel,
Kagome: Naraku was born?
[Closeup side view of Miroku.]
Miroku: It's probably like that.
Miroku: Naraku wanted the Jewel dirtied.
[View of Naraku, with his miasma swirling around him.]
Miroku: If he could dirty Kikyou-sama's heart with hatred,
Miroku: and suck up malicious blood with the Shikon no Tama...
[Closeup of Sango.]
Sango: the Jewel...
Sango: would be the same all over again.
[Drawing of Kikyou being cremated while holding the Jewel.]
Kagome: .oO(Kikyou died while holding the Jewel.).
[Drawing of Kagome looking a bit sad.]
Kagome: .oO(That should have ended everything.).
Kagome: .oO(However...).
Page 18
[Another closeup of Kagome looking a bit sad.]
Kagome: .oO(Eventually, the Jewel crossed time and came back.).
[Continuation of above frame.]
Kagome: .oO(Together with me...).
[Inuyasha turns around.]
Inuyasha: Bah,
Inuyasha: for our part, it looks like we're being manipulated by the Jewel, doesn't it.
Inuyasha: This is no joke.
[Inuyasha holds up a fist.]
Inuyasha: If the Jewel's fate repeatedly returns things to evil,
Inuyasha: then I, with my own hand, will sever that fate.

looking pretty happy.]
Title: Water God
Page 2
[Full view of Kagome looking out across a view, with a hand raised to shield
her eyes.]
Kagome: *sigh*
Kagome: Even though we're looking for a big thing like a castle, we still can't find it.
[The group is sitting/standing on top of a hill. Sango is sitting down in
her casual clothes, and behind Kagome is her large bag, and her bow and arrows.]
Miroku: We don't have any clues either.
[Closeup of Inuyasha, with Myouga on his shoulder.]
Inuyasha: Sango, can't you remember even a little bit,
Inuyasha: about the castle where you fell into Naraku's trap?
[Closeup of Sango looking a bit annoyed.]
Sango: As I've already said,
Sango: if I did remember, I'd be returning there to get Naraku's head.
Page 3
[Miroku and Inuyasha have a chat.]
Miroku: ... Quite.
Miroku: Perhaps we should give up on finding the castle.
[Closeup of Inuyasha.]
Inuyasha: Give up and do what?
[Side view of Miroku.]
Miroku: Let's find Shikon fragments.
[Closeup of Miroku.]
Miroku: As long as we collect them,
Miroku: eventually, Naraku who will come after our fragments.
[Miroku walks over to where Sango is sitting.]
Fx Miroku: *walk over smoothly*
Miroku: Sango...
Miroku: Is that okay will you too?
[Closeup of Miroku.]
Miroku: I'm sure you want you revenge as soon as possible, but...
[Closeup of Sango looking a bit frustrated.]
Sango: Yeah.
Sango: It's annoying, but...
Page 4
[Miroku continues to speak to Sango, kneeling just in front of her, while
Inuyasha and Kagome look on, seeming a bit surprised.]
Miroku: I understand your feelings.
Fx Miroku: *stare*
[Closeup of Sango.]
Sango: Houshi-sama...
[Sango forcefully pries off Miroku's hand, which seems to have gone wandering.]
Sango: What are you reaching for while you talk?
Fx Sango: (Miroku's hand) *grip*
Inuyasha: That damn pervert, I though he was going after her.
Kagome: Sango-chan will have to put up with it until she's better.
[Misty frame.]
[There is a procession of guards, 12 of which are carrying a carriage, and
one is holding out a flag in front, with a man banging a drum (or some kind
of percussion instrument) just behind him. Near to them are some villagers,
who appear to be sorting through some wreckage of trees and houses.]
Fx drum: clang
villager#1: Ahh...!
villager#1: The sacrifice's palanquin is passing by.
villager#2: It's because this flood was pretty bad.
Page 5
[Closeup of two villages.]
villager#3: Whose child is it this time?
villager#4: Everything is at last being taken to nanushi-sama's place, as indicated by Suijin-sama's arrow.
( 'nanushi' means 'village head'. 'Suijin' means 'water god', though this is
not necessarily the 'water god', probably just a local water god -
which are quite common in Japan.)
[Some more villagers.]
villager#5: ... That's the rumor.
villager#6: Almost all the young children in the village,
villager#6: have been given up as sacrifices.
[Miroku, Inuyasha and Kagome look on.]
Miroku: ... Did you hear that?
Kagome: "Sacrifices for Suijin-sama..."
[In the line of sad looking villagers/guards is an older looking man.]
villager: Nanushi-sama, this is pitiful...
village-head: What are you saying.
[Closeup of the village head looking down.]
village-head: It's to protect the village from Suijin-sama's curse...
[View of the palanquin ahead, which a blank speech bubble coming from it.]
village-head: Of course we have to give up our children.
person in palanquin: ......
Page 6
[Closeup of Inuyasha with his arms folded.]
Inuyasha: You call it 'Suijin',
Inuyasha: but isn't it really a strange Youkai?
[Inuyasha is now standing by the village head and the others, who look
somewhat shocked.]
village-head: _Wha_...?
villager: What is this guy...
[Miroku puts himself in front of Inuyasha.]
Fx Miroku: *push ahead*
Miroku: Don't worry about him.
Miroku: I heard your conversation.
[Closeup of Miroku.]
Miroku: If it is acceptable with you, allow me to appease the god.
[The villagers look a bit surprised.]
villager: Eh,
villager: can you do that, houshi-sama?
[The village head looks angry.]
village-head: Don't make the populace confused!
village-head: He's just a trickster in good-looking clothes.
Page 7
[Inuyasha and Miroku look on while the villagers talk to the village-head.]
villager: Bu, but, nanushi-sama,
villager: you haven't even let them speak...
village-head: Humph.
[Scene of a village ruined by flood.]
village-head: Rely on these suspicious looking lot, then Suijin-sama's anger will boil...
village-head: and then the village will be completely destroyed.
[The village head grips his hands, and has tears running down his cheeks.]
village-head: If it wasn't for that, now that it's my own child's turn, all I will be able to do is pray...
village-head: I still can't face any of the village children who may become sacrifices!
Fx :
[Inuyasha has a dubious look on his face, while behind him, Kagome leans
over to look at something.]
[Closeup of Kagome looking at something.]
Kagome: .oO(Huh...?).
Page 8
[View of the palanquin, with the curtain pulled slightly to one side.]
Fx curtain: shink...
[Closeup of Kagome.]
Kagome: .oO(The sacrificial child...).
Fx Kagome: (heart) *thump...*
[Closeup of the child, which seems to have a very strange face - just dark
holes for eyes and a mouth, and no hair.]
Kagome: .oO(Eh...!? What's that.).
[Closeup of the village-head turning around suddenly.]
[The village-head shouts at the others.]
village-head: Let's go everybody!
village-head: We must get to the shrine before the end of the day.
[The others look on the the group with the palanquin move off.]
Sango: ......
Fx drum: clang
Page 9
[Misty frame.]
Sango: {off} That village-head seems suspicious.
[The group is sitting around a fire in the forest.]
Sango: It's like he was anxious to sacrifice his own child...
Miroku: It certainly does look like trouble.
[Closeup of Kagome.]
Kagome: Umm... this probably sounds strange, but...
Kagome: inside that palanquin...
[Kagome turns to Sango.]
Sango: Hn?
Kagome: There was this.. strange...
[Closeup of Sango.]
Sango: Oh, that...
Fx :
Sango: It's a mask.
[Closeup of Kagome.]
Kagome: Umm...
Kagome: A mask!?
[Kagome looks over at Miroku.]
Miroku: Something for the sacrificial ceremony.
Kagome: Wha... what the?
Page 10
[Inuyasha bounces a small stone in his hand.]
Inuyasha: So, what will will do?
Inuyasha: Leave it alone?
[Inuyasha suddenly throws the stone near a nearby tree.]
Fx stone: swish
Fx stone: (hitting something) crack
voice: _Ah_!
[In some bushes two eyes appear under a mat.]
person: ......
Fx mat: fwap
[Kagome and Shippou look on in surprise.]
Kagome: Wha...
[Closeup of Inuyasha.]
Inuyasha: Who are you, bastard?
Inuyasha: You've been following us since earlier.
[The thing under the mat gets up, still with the mat over it's head, and is
carrying some things wrapped up. It appears to be someone small.]
person: ......
Fx person: shh
Page 11
[The person throws the sheet of material out, throwing the things wrapped up
in front of the group.]
Fx sheet: fwap

looking things.]
Fx things: clatter
Fx necklace: jangle
[Closeup of a small dirty looking kid.]
child: Pick them up!
child: I'm giving them to you!!
[Inuyasha and the others look on in surprise.]
Inuyasha: A kid...?
Page 12
[Miroku holds up some kind of container covered with engravings, and Sango
holds up the sheet of material.]
Miroku: Hmm,
Miroku: this is pretty high-class.
Sango: This fabric can be sold for a lot as well.
[The child looks a bit relieved.]
child: You've picked them up now.
child: Right.
[Closeup of the child.]
child: I've hired you arseholes.
child: You're going to exterminate the Suijin with me.
[Closeup of Kagome.]
Kagome: Eh...

[Inuyasha comes to stare down at the child.]
Fx Inuyasha: *stare*
[Inuyasha hits the kid on the head, to Kagome's shock.]
Fx Inuyasha: (hid) *thump*
Kagome: I, Inuyasha!
Page 13
[Kagome stares down angrily at Inuyasha who turns to look at her. Meanwhile
he's still holding the child, who trashes about. Shippou's come over to
talk to the kid.]
Kagome: That's a child you're doing that to.
Inuyasha: You don't have to make a big deal about it.
Fx Inuyasha: (hand on child's head) *grind grind*
Fx child: *trash about*
Shippou: Even if you didn't lie, you should appologise to him.
Shippou: Inuyasha has the personality of a _child_.
[Misty frame.]
[A small pagoda (part of the shrine) is on the side of a lake. Two guards
stand in front, and inside appears to be a small figure.]
Fx lake: splish...
[View of a child, the sacrifice, sitting in the shrine.]
[Closeup of the child.]
child: ......
Fx lake: splish...
Page 14
[A large boat moves across the lake.]
Fx water: splish...
[The two guards look on.]
guard#1: It's here.
guard#2: It's Suijin-sama's pick-up ship.
[View of the stars.]
[The child is walking through some rushes.]
Fx rushes: shh
child: The pick-up ship takes the sacrifice to Suijin's place.
child: So we follow the ship,
[Closeup of the child turning around to look at the others.]
child: and when we get to the place where Suijin eats the sacrifice, we beat him up.
child: Okay?
[Miroku is carrying lots of stuff, and is arguing with Inuyasha and Kagome.]
Inuyasha: Aren't these stolen?
Miroku: It's okay, isn't it.
Fx Miroku: *happily*
Kagome: It's not right.
child: Are you listening!?
Page 15
[Kagome, who is carrying her bow and arrows, walks up behind the child.]

[Inuyasha looks down at the child.]

[Inuyasha continues to look down at the child, with arms folded.]
Fx leaves: rustle...
[Closeup of the child looking worried.]
child: U, unless we hurry...
child: not only the sacrifice, but maybe the village will be destoryed too.
[Kagome and Inuyasha look a bit surprised.]
Kagome: Eh...?
Page 16
[The child seems to be trying to say something.]
child: That sacrifice...
child: is actually...
[Closeup of Kagome.]
Kagome: Could it be that you...
[Kagome suddenly points at the child, who is taken aback.]
Kagome: are the child of the nanushi-san who is supposed to be sacrificed.
Inuyasha: Hn~n?
Fx child: urk
[Miroku comes to look over.]
Fx Miroku: *pop up*
Miroku: Now that you say it, that makes a lot of sense.
Inuyasha: It also explains his arrogance.
[Drawing of the masked child looking out from the palanquin, from earlier.]
Miroku: Then...
Miroku: the one inside the palanquin is a substitute...
[Closeup of the child.]
child: I am the heir to the village-head...
child: I'm Taroumaru.
Page 17
[FlashBack The village-head is talking to a woman, and beside him is a child with a mask on.
Taroumaru: {voice over} That damn father, when it's time for one of the village children...
village-head: Please put up with it for the village's sake.
Taroumaru: he goes... but when his child has been chosen...
[Closeup of Taroumaru looking a bit annoyed.]
Taroumaru: He hid me away...
Taroumaru: and then, he took the child of a servant, and...
[View of a small child, with a mask on.]
[View of Miroku and Inuyasha.]
Miroku: I could say that your father's stupid...
Inuyasha: He is a stupid father.
[Closeup of Kagome.]
Kagome: You...
Kagome: want to save that child?
[Closeup of Taroumaru looking sad.]
Taroumaru: ...
Taroumaru: We're friends.
[Taroumaru turns to look at a voice from the side.]
Fx noise: shh
Sango: So, let's get that ship.
Page 18
[Sango is dressed in her battle-gear, carrying her boomerang over her shoulder.]
Fx Sango: shh
Sango: I'll work for my own sake, okyaku-san.
( 'okyaku-san' is an address to a guest or customer. The Jusenkyou Guide from
Ranma 1/2 refers to Ranma, Genma and the other visitors to Jusenkyou like this.)
[Miroku looks accepting, and Kagome turns to Inuyasha, who looks undecided.]
Miroku: We're also saving a person.
Inuyasha: ......
Kagome: Let's go, Inuyasha.
[Closeup of Inuyasha.]
Inuyasha: Bah.
Inuyasha: I dunno if it's a 'water god' or a Youkai, but...
[The whole group appear prepared to move out, to the surprise of Taroumaru.]
Inuyasha: I won't go easy on a guy that eats children.
Inuyasha: Let's go.
Fx group: shh

suijin: Did you think a mere Youkai weapon could face my holy weapon - "Halberd of Amakoi"?
( Not sure what 'amakoi' means (amagoi means 'praying for rain' incidentaly)
as I couldn't find it in any dictionary. A halberd is a spear like weapon -
a long shaft with a double-edged blade on the end.)

Inuyasha: What about it.
[Closeup of Kagome.]
Kagome: Since he's holding a holy weapon...
[View of the suijin.]
Kagome: {off} it means he's not a Youkai, but a real kami-sama...?
( 'kami-sama' is Shinto for a god.)
Page 18
[Closeup of Inuyasha.]
Inuyasha: Bah!
Inuyasha: We came all this way and now you're chickening out!
Inuyasha: Going by what this guy did, he's the same as a Youkai, isn't he.
[Closeup of Sango, with Kagome looking at her.]
Sango: That's stupid.
Sango: Dealing with a kami-sama is much worse than some weak Youkai.
Sango: Anger them and you'll be cursed for life.
[Closeup of Miroku.]
Miroku: Right...
Miroku: It's dangerous to attack recklessly in other words.
[Closeup of the suijin, who has a slight smile.]
suijin: Too late...
Fx sound: rumble...

[Drawing of the fake suijin.]
Miroku: Somehow... I get the feeling that's not the case,
Miroku: and also this is that holy weapon, whatever it was called...
[The fish explain some more.]
fish#1: That person originally used to be a spirit residing in this lake, like us.
fish#2: He served the real suijin-sama.
[Miroku and Sango turn to look at a large mount of rock in the mists behind them.]
fish: {off} However... he tricked suijin-sama who was then imprisoned in that stone,
fish: and he stole the holy weapon, "Halberd of Amakoi",
fish: and took the place of suijin-sama.
( 'Amakoi' is a rare kanji, and apparantly means something like "sacrifice
for the rain god".)
Page 17
[Miroku looks at the fish.]
fish#1: Even though he was just a spirit, now that he has taken the holy weapon, his powers are the same as a god.
fish#2: And nobody can oppose him...
Fx fish: *sob sob*
Miroku: I see.
[Closeup of Miroku.]
Miroku: I understand.
Miroku: Let's rescue the real suijin-sama.
[Miroku turns at a voice behind him.]
Inuyasha: {off} Sheesh... that's so fucking boring...
[Miroku turns to look at Inuyasha, who is starting to stand up.]
Miroku: Inuyasha, you're awake huh.
Inuyasha: I am... going back to the shrine.
[Miroku looks at Inuyasha, who shouts back.]
Miroku: Wait,
Miroku: rescuing suijin-sama and using his wisdom would be the fastest way...
Inuyasha: I'm saving Kagome first!
Page 18
[Inuyasha rushes off, looking angry.]
Fx Inuyasha: whoosh
Inuyasha: Kagome! Stay safe!!
[The fake suijin is walking along a corridor, looking dark and menacing, the
holy weapon leaving a glowing trail of power.]
Fx suijin: *slide...*
suijin: I'm going to...

voice: and let me out of here.
( The person uses a somewhat 'royal' type of 'I', 'me' etc.)
[Miroku immediately moves to obey, while Sango watches wide-eyed.]
