Nearby Miroku is walking through the river, and Shippou is looking in.] Kagome: Please, just 3 days! Kagome: I want to prepare for them as well. Miroku: It seems quite hard for you, Kagome-sama. Shippou: Wouldn't it be easier to stay here always. 4 [Inuyasha is shouting at Kagome again, who's gotten angry.] Inuyasha: Do you actually like these "tests" that much? Kagome: There's no way I'd like them! ( Kagome uses a modern word for test (just 'test' in english turned into Japlish - 'tesuto'), which of course Inuyasha wouldn't recognise, and he doesn't understand what it means.) 5 [Shippou sees something drifting in the river.] Fx water: slish...

Kagome: Because I'd worry and wouldn't be able to study. 3 [Miroku stands up.] Miroku: That's right. Miroku: It would be better to go while Kagome-sama is with us. ( Miroku is probably referring to Kagome's ability to sense the Shikon no Tama and so on.) 4 [Kagome and Miroku are now walking along briskly.] Fx Kagome and Miroku: *stride stride* Kagome: I wonder if it really is the work of a Youkai. Miroku: Indeed.

Inuyasha: To fall for that naive fucking story. Kagome: I, Inuyasha. 4 [Miroku has whacked Inuyasha on the head, and Kagome is bowing (apologizing) to the heads - on Inuyasha's behalf.] Miroku: Is that any way to talk to these poor people?

Page 12 1 [View of a much younger and thinner Toukajin standing over the body of his master, a bloody axe in his hand.] Toukajin: {off} I learned that the best way to become a hermit quickly and easily was...

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 available. 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 1 [Our cute but deadly exterminator from the previous chapter graces the title page, in her armor, and carrying her massive boomerang over her shoulder, smiling slightly.] Title: Taiji-ya ( 'taiji-ya-san' refers to someone, or a group of people, who does 'taiji' (in this case, it means 'extermination') for a living.

Miroku: These people are my Buddhist pupils. 2 [The villagers huddle together again.] villager#5: What's a "Buddhist pupil"? villager#6: A servant of a priest, I think. 3 [Inuyasha comes to glare at Miroku.] Inuyasha: Just who is a servant, huh?

Kagome and Shippou are sitting on a fallen tree trunk, nearby.] Miroku: Where is this taiji-ya's village...? villager: No idea. villager: [We don't know] because we only see them when they turn up looking for monsters [so we haven't needed to go looking for them]... 6 [Closeup of Kagome opening a can of drink.] Kagome: Wow... Kagome: There are people who make a living out of it. Page 4 1 [Miroku and a villager continue to talk.] Miroku: Is this... taiji-ya collecting Shikon no Tama fragments...? villager: Yeah... villager: That whatever-you-call it Jewel... 2 [Misty frame.] villager: {off} "It originally came from my town"... villager: is what she said. 3 [Inuyasha is taken aback.] 4 [Kagome turns her head to look at the villager in surprise.] Kagome: .oO(Eh...!?). 5 [Miroku turns to Inuyasha.] Miroku: Inuyasha...

Sango: Have you been a good girl? ( Kirara is a girl's name, rarely used in real life, and literally translates as "cloud-mother". However, this set of kanji is normally pronounced "unmo", meaning "mica" (the mineral) or "isinglass". The 'kirara' comes from the FX for something (eg a precious stone) glittering.) Page 7 1 [Up runs a small boy, who is carrying a blade on a chain at his side. Those weapons are often used by ninjas, as well as other warriors.] boy: Welcome back, ane-ue. boy: Chichi-ue... the okashira, is calling for you. ( ane-ue and chichi-ue are more respectful (and old) versions of onee-san (elder sister) and chichi (or otou-san) for father. 'Okashira' is a term typically used for the leader of a group of fighters.) 2 [View of the sky.] okashira: {off} You got hold of a Shikon fragment, huh. 3 [View of the glowing fragment into a small container.] okashira: {off} Well done, Sango. 4 [Sango, her brother and their father are before a small shrine, on which the fragment has been put, and the father (the okashira) makes a bow, and ritual clap before it.] okashira: Right! Fx okashira: clap Sango: Chichi-ue... 5 [Closeup of Sango.] Sango: Will this suppress the fragment's evil? 6 [Sango looks at her father, who is still looking at the shrine.] okashira: It's probably no good. Sango: I thought so. 7 [View of the fragment.] okashira: I heard that about 50 years ago, it was entrusted to a priestess with strong spiritual powers, to keep it purified, but... Page 8 1 [Drawing of Kikyou being cremated while holding the fragment.] okashira: {off} and in the end, that person passed away in a fight over the Jewel... 2 [View of the small shrine.] okashira: All we can do is, okashira: until we find a person with purifying spiritual powers, okashira: collect the fragments in this town, and protect them. 3 [Sango rubs her shoulders a bit.] okashira: Take same rest, okashira: you'll be working again soon. Sango: Right. Fx Sango: *cracking shoulder joint* 4 [The father turns to his son.] okashira: Kohaku, you as well. Kohaku: Eh, me!?

Fx Sango: (Kohaku) *slap* 5 [Closeup of Sango looking a bit more serious.] Sango: Chichi-ue told me, Sango: that the scariest Youkai are, Sango: those ones who look like humans... 6 [Drawing of the Shikon no Tama against a dark background.] Sango: He also said that if those types, Sango: get their hands on the Shikon no Tama it would be terrible...

( The old man calls this person 'waka', which means 'young master' (ie the heir), though it's hard to fit this into the translation.) 5 [Closeup of the person, though still indistinct.] person: I see... person: I've been waiting for this day...
