Kagome: When you're healed, why don't we go together? 6 [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 1 [Sango seems to change the subject.] Sango: You... have the Shikon fragment, don't you. Kagome: Eh... 2 [Kagome takes out the glowing fragment.] Kagome: Yeah... Kagome: Anyhow, we got it back from the fake Naraku, though... 3 [Closeup side view of Sango.] Sango: Meaning Naraku will... Sango: come after that again, right... 4 [Sango turns to Kagome.] Sango: Fine. Sango: I will go with you. 5 [Closeup of Kagome.] Kagome: Sango-san... Kagome: You're planning to avenge everyone aren't you. 6 [Closeup of Sango.] Sango: Well yeah. Sango: Besides, the Shikon no Tama... 7 [Closeup of Kagome.] Kagome: was born in this town, wasn't it? Page 18 1 [Closeup side view of Kagome.] Kagome: We heard about that, Kagome: but when we came... 2 [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.) 3 [View from behind of Sango.] Sango: Since you even held a funeral for everyone... 4 [Sango turns around to face Kagome.] Sango: I'll tell you about it... Sango: The reason why the Shikon no Tama was born... 5 [Kagome looks a bit surprised.] Kagome: Eh...

Sango: She could purify all 4 of those souls. 4 [Closeup of Kagome.] Kagome: .oO(All four souls...). Kagome: .oO(Shikon!?). ( 'Shikon' literally has the kanji for '4-souls'.) 5 [View of Miroku.] Miroku: In Shinto there is one way of thinking. Miroku: Namely that 'Shikon' is... Page 9 1 [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. 2 [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. 3 [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]... 4 [Inuyasha, sweating somewhat, goes to Miroku.] Inuyasha: ... And then?

( My head's kinda spinning too...) 6 [Inuyasha speaks angrily to Miroku.] Inuyasha: Stop changing things around! Miroku: Shall I start again? 7 [Sango puts in a comment.] Sango: In other words, souls can become good and evil. Miroku: Right. Page 10 1 [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. 2 [Continuation of above frame.] Sango: That's why the Youkai were afraid of Midoriko, Sango: and started trying to take her life. 3 [Black frame.] Sango: But even if they attacked her suddenly, they were all exorcised. 4 [Swirling black frame.] Sango: Which is why, to overcome Midoriko's spiritual powers, a soul with massive evil was needed. EndFlashBack] 5 [Kagome talks to Sango.] Kagome: Then the Youkai become one...? Kagome: How...? Page 11 1 [Sango points in front of her, near the base of the mummy.] Sango: Take a look, over there... 2 [Kagome and Sango look at something.] Sango: There's one more, isn't there?

EndFlashBack] Page 12 1 [Patchy frame.] Sango: Many Youkai merged into one, Sango: as using a human with an evil heart to _anchor_ with was the easiest. 2 [View of Kagome, looking a bit wide-eyed.] Kagome: .oO(Eh...?). Kagome: .oO(This story...). Kagome: .oO(I've heard it somewhere before...). 3 [Inuyasha and Miroku look on.] Inuyasha: ...... Miroku: Inuyasha. 4 [Closeup of Miroku turning to Inuyasha.] Miroku: This story is like it's about Naraku... 5 [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? EndFlashBack] Page 13 1 [Sango is a bit surprised.] Sango: Naraku was...? 2 [Closeup of Inuyasha.] Inuyasha: Continue the story, Sango. Inuyasha: Did this Miko... 3 [View of the dead Miko warrior.] Inuyasha: {off} beat the Youkai, or did she lose? 4 [Closeup of Sango.] Sango: The battle continued to 7 days and 7 nights. 5 [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.

Sango: It seems her soul was absorbed. 2 [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... 3 [A blast of power comes out of Midoriko's back.] Sango: and forced out of her body. 4 [Black frame.] Sango: There the Youkai and Midoriko both died... 5 [View of a human heart in pool of blood, with a small ball beside it.] Sango: The cluster of souls remained...

EndFlashBack] 2 [Kagome looks a bit surprised.] Kagome: Eh...? 3 [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. 4 [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 1 [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. 2 [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... 3 [Black frame with the Shikon no Tama.] Sango: But by that time, the Shikon no Tama had already been, Sango: dirtied badly... 4 [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 1 [Closeup of Kagome.] Kagome: Because Kikyou purified the Jewel, Kagome: Naraku was born? 2 [Closeup side view of Miroku.] Miroku: It's probably like that. Miroku: Naraku wanted the Jewel dirtied. 3 [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... 4 [Closeup of Sango.] Sango: the Jewel... Sango: would be the same all over again. 5 [Drawing of Kikyou being cremated while holding the Jewel.] Kagome: .oO(Kikyou died while holding the Jewel.). 6 [Drawing of Kagome looking a bit sad.] Kagome: .oO(That should have ended everything.).

Page 18 1 [Another closeup of Kagome looking a bit sad.] Kagome: .oO(Eventually, the Jewel crossed time and came back.). 2 [Continuation of above frame.] Kagome: .oO(Together with me...). 3 [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. 4 [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.
