Naraku: the Kikyou who died following... Naraku: Inuyasha 50 years ago... Fx Naraku: (Kikyou) *tug* ( Perhaps Inuyasha did not move to protect Kikyou earlier so that he could protect Kagome - it would have been hard to protect both. Also, this Naraku 'puppet' here, speaks like he really is Naraku. Also, a reminder that Naraku has some Shikon fragments on him - this is probably how he transformed the Youkai. And finally, Kagome does has some arrows with her, but no bow.) 4 [Inuyasha looks angry and frustrated.] Inuyasha: Ugh... Page 16 1 [Inuyasha rushes forwards.] Inuyasha: You bastard! Fx Inuyasha: *fwip* Inuyasha: Don't you touch Kikyou with your filthy hands! 2 [Inuyasha quickly moves back as a huge amount of Naraku's white miasma comes out from him.] Fx miasma: splurt Inuyasha: ! 3 [Kagome looks on in fear.] Kagome: Miasma!

Page 1 1 [Closeup side view of Inuyasha, with a slightly worried look, and behind him are the insect-like Youkai that Kikyou uses.] Title: Captured Kikyou Page 2 1 [View of a castle, with dark clouds surrounding it.] Fx clouds: rumble... 2 [View of several soul-carrying Youkai-insects.] Fx youkai: hshhu... 3 [The Youkai smash into a crackling barrier.] Fx barrier: bzzt 4 [Kikyou is lying in a room, next to a large, translucent window, the other side of which, several shadows of the Youkai-insects can be seen.] Fx barrier: bzzt bzzt Page 3 1 [Closeup of Kikyou, eyes open, but she doesn't have much expression.] Fx barrier: (off) bzzt... bzzt 2 [View of Kikyou from above.] Naraku: {off} Looks like without the Dead-souls, you can't move. 3 [Closeup of Naraku walking in with a slight smile.] Naraku: I've erected a barrier. Naraku: Those insects can't come in. Fx Naraku: shh... Page 4 1 [Closeup side view of Naraku, looking down at Kikyou.] Naraku: This time you can't escape. Naraku: Kikyou... 2 [Closeup of Kikyou, looking slightly sad.] Kikyou: ...... 3 [Naraku is now sitting next to Kikyou.] Naraku: Kikyou you scum... Naraku: just what were you thinking... 4 [Drawing of back when Kikyou's arrow broke the seal and blew up the top of the mountain.] Naraku: {voice over} Your arrow broke my seal very easily. 5 [Drawing of when Inuyasha was close to killing the large Youkai.] Naraku: {voice over} If you wanted to save Inuyasha's body from fusing with the Youkai, then... Page 5 1 [Drawing of the large Youkai being blown apart in a bright flash.] Naraku: {voice over} it would have been better to shoot your arrow through the Youkai's body. 2 [Closeup of Naraku.] Naraku: If you'd done that, the Youkai would surely have been blown away easily. ( It's still not clear just how Kikyou managed to get the power to do what she did, since she couldn't even move, just before, and now. It seems most likely that Kagome (or the Shikon fragment, or both) simply being near made the difference. It's also probably because of her powers that Kagome wasn't affected by the evil in the air, unlike the other humans. It's never been explained how Inuyasha managed to break the sealing spell Kikyou put on him (at the end of chapter 1), and perhaps Kagome (and her strong spiritual power) being near to him earlier was enough to weaken the spell.) 3 [Closeup side view of Kikyou.] Kikyou: The Youkai... 4 [View of Naraku looking down at Kikyou.] Kikyou: Before the Kodoku escaped... Kikyou: I wanted to test if something was there... 5 [Closeup of Naraku.] Kikyou: {off} And so... there you were... 6 [Closeup of Kikyou.] Kikyou: You've changed, haven't you. Kikyou: Onigumo. Page 6 1 [Closeup side view of Naraku.] Naraku: Onigumo... huh. Naraku: That name brings back memories. 2 [Drawing of back when Kikyou was tending to Onigumo.] Naraku: 50 years ago... his body was saved by you, Kikyou... Naraku: while sheltering the wounded wild-thief in a cave... 3 [Drawing of when the Youkai ate Onigumo's body.] Naraku: That Onigumo, he freely submitted his own body to the Youkai... Naraku: and was eaten up. 4 [Closeup sinister view of Naraku.] Naraku: They fastened onto Onigumo's evil soul, and the Youkai gathered together into one... Naraku: and a new Youkai was born. Fx Naraku: *stir of power...* Page 7 1 [Closeup of Kikyou.] Kikyou: And then... 50 years ago, you caused me to die. Kikyou: Naraku... huh. 2 [Closeup side view of Naraku.] Naraku: Kukuku... that's right... Naraku: Your hateful nemesis. 3 [Some more of the Youkai-insects crash into the barrier.] Fx barrier: crackle 4 [Naraku looks around.] Fx barrier: crackle 5 [Closeup side view of Naraku.] Naraku: Kikyou... it looks like you're going to be usefull. Naraku: At any rate... Page 8 1 [Closeup side view of Kikyou.] Naraku: Inuyasha will... Naraku: never be able to abandon you, will he.. 2 [View of the mountain where it all happened.] Fx sound: rumble... 3 [Sango, Kirara, Shippou and Miroku are sitting in a group, all looking off at something.] Sango: Somehow... don't you get a strange feeling from those two? Miroku: Indeed. 4 [Closeup of Kagome, looking a bit sad.] Kagome: Inuyasha... 5 [Kagome is looking at Inuyasha who is sitting on the ground with his back to her.] Kagome: Okay! Inuyasha: ...... Page 9 1 [Closeup of Kagome, looking a bit sad.] Kagome: Let's go. Kagome: We gotta save Kikyou. 2 [Closeup side view of Inuyasha.] Inuyasha: You lot stay here. Inuyasha: I'll do it alone... 3 [Kagome looks a bit angry and upset.] Kagome: Wha... 4 [Miroku has come over and hit Inuyasha on his head with his foot. Kagome looks a bit surprised.] Miroku: Stop screwing around you jerk. Fx Inuyasha: clunk 5 [View of Sango and Miroku.] Sango: It was Naraku who took off with Kikyou. Miroku: Right. Miroku: It's not just your problem Inuyasha. 6 [Kagome has come to sit next to Inuyasha, who edges away from her.] Kagome: Inuyasha, Kagome: don't restrain yourself because of me. Inuyasha: Wha... Page 10 1 [Closeup of Kagome looking a bit angry and upset.] Kagome: It's because Kikyou saved you... Kagome: and she exhausted her power, that Naraku got hold of her. 2 [Kagome continues to talk to Inuyasha forcefully.] Kagome: Of course we have to save her. Kagome: Don't be so sneaky! Inuyasha: "Sneaky?", now just a minute... 3 [Miroku holds up a hand to Kagome and Inuyasha asking them to stop, while looking off at something.] Miroku: Okay, that's enough. Miroku: The guide's arrived. 4 [View of a few of the Saimyoushou insects Naraku uses.] Fx insects: bzz... 4 [Inuyasha stands up and the rest look on.] Inuyasha: .oO(The Saimyoushou!).

Kagome: ...No. Page 12 1 [Closeup of Kagome, looking a bit annoyed.] Kagome: .oO(...Because... Right now...). Kagome: .oO(Inuyasha's head is full with thoughts of Kikyou.). 2 [Kagome leans her head against Sango's back with her eyes closed. Sango looks a bit surprised. Kagome is also carrying a bow again - she lost it earlier.] Kagome: .oO(Earlier I was saying all those fine words...). Kagome: .oO(but it still seems annoying...). Fx Kagome: *si~i~i~i~gh* Sango: ...... ( It's hard to say exactly what Kagome means, though it seems that what she really doesn't like is Inuyasha only thinking about Kikyou. When she says "Inuyasha's head is full with thoughts of Kikyou", she says it in a slightly sulky way.) 3 [Closeup of Inuyasha rushing along.] Inuyasha: .oO(Kikyou... died because of Naraku.).

Fx fragment: *hold up...* Page 13 1 [The fragment is thrown to near Naraku's feet.] Fx fragment: klink Fx fragment's chain: jangle... 2 [Closeup of the large Shikon fragment and it's chain.] Naraku: .oO(The Shikon fragment!?). 3 [Closeup of Kikyou.] Kikyou: You wanted that, didn't you. Kikyou: I'll leave it with you. 4 [Closeup of Naraku, holding up the fragment, with what looks a bit like a frown.] 5 [Closeup of Kikyou, with a smirky looking smile.] Kikyou: At any rate... more than anyone else, you need to use the Shikon no Tama, don't you. Kikyou: Youkai Naraku... Kikyou: No... Page 14 1 [View of Naraku and Kikyou.] Kikyou: Half-Youkai... Kikyou: Naraku. Fx Naraku: rustle... 2 [Closeup side view of Naraku, with an angry look.] Naraku: I am... Naraku: Half-Youkai, you say...? 3 [Closeup of Kikyou, with a drawing of Onigumo behind her.] Kikyou: You intended to change properly, but... Kikyou: you are mixed up with the human... Kikyou: wild-thief Onigumo, whose presence hasn't disappeared. Page 15 1 [Closeup of Kikyou.] Kikyou: Which is exactly why you want the Shikon no Tama. Kikyou: To gain a completely Youkai body... 2 [Closeup of Naraku, looking annoyed.] 3 [View of Naraku holding the glowing fragment.] Naraku: ...If that was the case, Naraku: why hand me the Shikon fragment...? 4 [View of some walls.] Naraku: {off I Naraku, am your hateful killer who sent you to your death 50 years ago... Naraku: Even while knowing that, you... 5 [Closeup of Kikyou, with a smirk.] Kikyou: Humph... Kikyou: At that time... my body was destroyed... Kikyou: However... Page 16 1 [Long view of Naraku.] Kikyou: {off} Compared to now... Kikyou: with this borrowed body I am now in, now... Kikyou: I feel more alive. 2 [Closeup of Kikyou with a slight smile.] Kikyou: Always since then [when I died], my soul... Kikyou: has been free of both love and hate. 3 [Closeup of Naraku.] Naraku: .oO(Are you saying... that is why you don't hate me?). ( Kikyou is certainly lying or being deceptive to Inuyasha or Naraku, or both. The first and second time she turned up (when she angrily tried to kill Inuyasha, and when she kissed Inuyasha) she certainly seemed to have some feelings of love and hate around...) 4 [Kikyou moves to leave.] Kikyou: I will return back to that temple. Kikyou: I won't run or hide. 5 [Closeup of Kikyou.] Kikyou: When you want to see me, you can send for me. Kikyou: Onigumo... 6 [Naraku/Onigumo is left with his thoughts.] Naraku: ......

Covering his back is a spider-shaped burn mark.] Naraku: .oO(No matter how often I've changed bodies...). Naraku: .oO(wild-thief Onigumo's burn mark... won't disappear from my back... ). 4 [FlashBack View of Kikyou Kikyou: You are Half-Youkai. Kikyou: Naraku... EndFlashBack] 5 [Closeup side view of Naraku.] Naraku: Kikyou... Page 18 1 [View of the large Shikon fragment.] Naraku: .oO(I don't understand you.). Naraku: .oO(What on earth is Kikyou thinking?). 2 [Kikyou is outside the castle, looking back.] Fx Kikyou: shh... Kikyou: .oO(Naraku... go ahead and collect the Shikon fragments.). 3 [View of Kikyou with a serious and determined look.] Kikyou: .oO(Then, when you have the complete Shikon no Tama in your hands...). Kikyou: .oO(I will send you to hell.). ( Some translation notes. 14 times so far, Naraku has used "kono Naraku" (ie "I, Naraku...") when speaking/thinking. It's hard to explain, but this gives a sense that the speaker (Naraku, in this case) is impressed with themselves - ie a sense of vainity. Similarly Kikyou has said "kono watashi" five times. Inuyasha has used "kono ore" three times, though of course has had far more 'screen time' than Naraku and Kikyou. Sesshoumaru has said "kono Sesshoumaru/watashi" 4 times. Side note, 'watashi' is a slightly formal way of saying 'I' - Miroku and Kikyou tend to use it a lot, while 'ore' is a strongly masculine way of saying 'I'. Kagome, and just about everyone else, have never used this style of speech.
Naraku also says 'kisama' a lot ('kisama' being the most insulting general purpose word for 'you'), as does Sesshoumaru. In the way they use it, the tone is perhaps more like 'you pathetic worm', rather than 'you arsehole' - ie they totally look down on everyone. Kikyou uses 'kisama' when referring to Naraku, above. Inuyasha has never used 'kisama', though Sango has (when facing Inuyasha, thinking he'd attacked her village, and against Naraku) though the tone/sense is somewhat different - hating or detesting someone.)

Myouga: It's Inuyasha-sama! 3 [View of the man on the ox (though it has 3 eyes), who is quite thin and wrinkled. He has a little bunch of white hair, tied up at the back, and a white strangly beard. He also has large round eyes, and pointed ears - ie a very old Youkai.] old man: Inuyasha... old man: The one using the tusk which is a sword, is the leader of the dogs' son... old man: The stupid younger brother, huh. Fx old man: (head) skritch skritch ( The old man refers to Inuyasha's father as "inu no taishou", meaning "general/boss/leader of the dogs".) 4 [Closeup of Myouga, sitting somewhere on the old man.] Myouga: (agreeing) Hmm. Page 20 1 [Closeup of Myouga looking up.] Myouga: It's still been only once though. Myouga: [Only once when Inuyasha] with just one swing, mowed down a hundred Youkai. 2 [Closeup of Myouga, sighing to himself.] Myouga: Since then there's been nothing. Myouga: She~e~e~sh Being next to him has been danger and more danger... Fx Myouga: *si-i-i-gh...* 3 [View of the moon.] old man: Well, I guess I'll test him out. old man: This, Inuyasha guy... 4 [Continuation of above frame, with a side view of the old man.] old man: Let's see if he is appropiate to have the famous blade Tetsusaiga, which I forged...

Toutousai: The one who made Tetsusaiga from your oyaji-dono's tusk, was I, Toutoutsai. Kagome: {impressed} Woah... 2 [Closeup of Inuyasha.] Inuyasha: So, what do you want then. Inuyasha: I don't think you came to sharpen the sword. 3 [Closeup of the old man.] Toutousai: Yeah. Toutousai: [I came to help] you truely master using Tetsusaiga appropiately.

Page 14 1 [Sesshoumaru makes a quick swing with the sword, right though Jaken.] Fx Tenseiga: (Jaken) *cut through* Jaken: _Eh_!? 2 [Closeup of Jaken falling backwards.] Jaken: Sesshoumaru...

Jaken: I am sure I was cut... Sesshoumaru: So you see. 4 [Sesshoumaru holds up Tenseiga.] Sesshoumaru: Tenseiga, Sesshoumaru: is a sword that can't kill. 5 [(Scene change) Closeup of Inuyasha looking a bit surprised.] Inuyasha: A _sword_ that can't cut? Inuyasha: How're you supposed to fight with that? Page 16 1 [The group is by a river, and is breathing some flames onto a fire, over which is small boar is hanging.] Toutousai: Tenseiga is not a sword for fighting enemies. Toutousai: It's a sword of healing. Fx flames: roa-ar Kagome: Healing!? 2 [View of Miroku and Sango.] Toutousai: {off} Unlike Tetsusaiga which mows down the strong, Toutousai: Tenseiga, is a sword that links life for the weak. Sango: Links life...? 3 [Sango comes to talk to the old man.] Sango: Just a sec, you don't mean it can restore someone to life? Toutousai: If you master it. ( Perhaps Sango is thinking of Kohaku...) 4 [View of Inuyasha and Kagome.] Toutousai: For someone with a heart that truely cherishs others, Toutousai: with one swing Tenseiga has the ability to save even 100 lives with one swing. Kagome: Cherish... Page 17 1 [Closeup of Inuyasha with a flat look.] Inuyasha: I get it. Inuyasha: So that's why that jerk Sesshoumaru's been longing for a new sword. 2 [Inuyasha looks a bit annoyed, and Toutousai is thinking.] Inuyasha: Such a helpful sword, Inuyasha: would oppose Sesshoumaru, and there's no way he could use it. Toutousai: Maybe [giving Tenseiga to Sesshoumaru] was no good after all. 3 [View of Miroku and Kagome.] Miroku: Not with the personality that elder brother has. Kagome: He wouldn't be pleased to be able to use it either. 4 [View of some hills, late in the evening.] Fx leaves: rustle... 5 [View of the roof of a run-down temple.] Fx sound: rumble... 6 [View of some dead humans in armour, one with a drawn sword. All died brutally.] 7 [Jaken is kicking one of the corpse's head.] Jaken: Sheesh, what foolish thieves. Page 18 1 [Sesshoumaru is sitting by a doorway, blood dripping from his right hand.] Jaken: They're 100 years too early to even try to attack Sesshoumaru-sama. Sesshoumaru: ...... ( A stock phrase in Japanese is to say someone is a certain number of years to early to attack (though can refer to other, similar things) someone else. The number of years isn't really relevant to the people's ages, really, though it is quite probable that Sesshoumaru is over 100 years old. It's like saying "even if you trained and practiced for 100 years, you might be able to fight evenly with me".) 2 [Black frame.] Sesshoumaru: .oO(That old fart...). Sesshoumaru: .oO(If he won't make a blade there's nothing else.). 3 [Sesshoumaru holds up a blood-smeared hand.] Sesshoumaru: .oO(I shall send Inuyasha and the rest...). Sesshoumaru: .oO(to the next life.). ( ie, he intends to kill them all.)
