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 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.

Kagura: Heh, see you suckers. 2 [Long view of Kouga lying on the ground, with his friends and wolves, from Kagura point of view.] 3 [Closeup side view of Kagura thinking.] Kagura: .oO(Still, that not only Kouga got to just in front of the castle, but Inuyasha's group too...). Page 3 1 [View of Kagura flying through what must be the barrier - the background has gone hazy.] Fx air: whoosh... Kagura: .oO(Naraku's barrier...).

Kagura: .oO(_not here_.). 3 [Kagura looks at the fragments in her hand - they're glowing black.] Fx fragments: *glow...* Kagura: .oO(......). 4 [Scene change to a blackish frame.] Fx sound: rumble... 5 [Kouga is struggling to get up, and is obviously in pain. Kagome is sitting nearby with a medical box.] Kagome: Kouga-kun, those terrible wounds... wolf-man spike: The Shikon fragments from both his legs have been taken huh. Kouga: Ugh... Page 4 1 [Kagome looks off to the side at a voice.] Inuyasha: {off} Leave that bastard who can't even die right alone, Kagome. 2 [View of Inuyasha standing, looking serious, with his black hair.] Fx Inuyasha: shh... 3 [Closeup of Kouga looking at this in surprise.] Kouga: You're... 4 [View of the scene.] Kouga: Inuyasha...? Page 5 1 [Closeup of Inuyasha with a look that says "you loser".] Inuyasha: Heh, how pathetic Kouga. Inuyasha: Getting fucking creamed by that measly Kagura. 2 [Kouga looks darkly at Inuyasha.] Kouga: What about you, and that _wi-impy_ looking form? Inuyasha: ...... 3 [Kouga's two friends whisper to each other behind his back.] wolf-man patch: I was wondering if that Inuyasha was a Half-Youkai. wolf-man spike: Sure looks that way. Fx wolf-men: {comically} *whisper whisper* 4 [Closeup of Kouga.] Kouga: Hmmm... From the rumours I've heard of Half-Youkai, 5 [Closeup of Kouga speaking angrily.] Kouga: those that value their lives never show their enemy the time when they become human apparently, but... Kouga: you've got some nerve, Kouga: being so fucking unconcerned about appearing in front of me like that. 6 [Inuyasha has a smile of all things.] Inuyasha: Heh. Page 6 1 [Closeup of Inuyasha with a serious look.] Inuyasha: That's true I guess. Inuyasha: Now that you've found out the secret... 2 [Kouga gets up challengingly and Inuyasha draws Tetsusaiga, though of course it doesn't power up. Kagome is giving both of them a "look".] Kouga: Come and get it bastard! Inuyasha: Shut up, I will finish you off here! Fx Inuyasha: {comically} fwip Kagome: Say, aren't we going to get back the fragments? 3 [Scene change - view of the dark sky.] Fx sound: rumble... 4 [View of the group rushing along. Kouga (bandaged up), Inuyasha and Shippou are on Kirara, while Kagome is riding her bike with Sango on the back. Inuyasha and Kouga are glaring at each other, while Kagome and Sango are deliberately ignoring them.] Fx Kirara: whoosh Inuyasha: Why're you coming with us!? Kouga: Shuddup! There's no way I'm handing my fragments over to you! Fx Kagome's bike: (bell) jingle 5 [Miroku runs up beside Kagome and Sango.] Fx Miroku: swish Miroku: Kagura isn't going back to the castle? Kagome: Yeah. Kagome: Not only that, but... Page 7 1 [Closeup side view of Kagome.] Kagome: it seems that the Shikon fragment... Kagome: is rapidly moving away from the barrier around Naraku's castle... 2 [Closeup of Miroku looking surprised.] Miroku: ...... Miroku: .oO(What's this mean!?). 3 [Scene change to a view of the stars at night - clear sky.] 4 [Kagura is relaxing by the shoreline of a lake it seems.] Fx water: slish... Kagura: Heh, Kagura: I feel relieved. 5 [Closeup of the glowing fragments in Kagura's hand.] Kagura: That's right, Kagura: I'm not handing them over to that measly Naraku. Page 8 1 [Black frame.] Kagura: .oO(Now is the time to escape...). Kagura: .oO(However...). 2 [Drawing of Naraku, holding a heart in his hand.] Kagura: .oO(Naraku holds my heart.). 3 [Closeup side view of Kagura, thinking, but looking kinda worried too.] Kagura: .oO(What'll I do!?). 4 [Scene change to a darkish frame.] 5 [Back to Inuyasha and the group rushing along.] Inuyasha: Kagura is running off with the fragments!? Miroku: It's not impossible. 6 [Closeup of Miroku.] Miroku: Don't you think it's strange, Inuyasha? Miroku: About the barrier as well. 7 [Closeup of Inuyasha looking off at Miroku.] Miroku: Why can you and Kouga smell where the castle is? Page 9 1 [Drawing of Naraku, surrounded by dark waves of energy.] Miroku: The barrier has weakened... Miroku: That means that for the moment Naraku's power has withered, doesn't it? 2 [Closeup of Inuyasha thinking on this.] Inuyasha: .oO(Power has withered...?). Inuyasha: .oO(That's as if...). 3 [Closeup side view of Kagome.] Kagome: That's right... Kagome: Naraku is a Half-Youkai as well. 4 [Closeup of Inuyasha looking a bit shocked.] 5 [Black frame.] Kagome: .oO(Inuyasha loses his power on the first day of the month...). Kagome: .oO(Could it be that Naraku also...). Page 10 1 [Scene change to a view of the night sky.] Jaken: {off} Naraku... you say. Jaken: Isn't he that charlatan who was disrespectful against you previously, Sesshoumaru-sama? 2 [Closeup of Sesshoumaru with his head raised slightly, looking into the distance.] Sesshoumaru: ...It's his smell. 3 [Sesshoumaru is standing on a grassy out-cropping of rock. Jaken is a bit behind him holding the reins of that two-headed dragon-like steed Sesshoumaru has. Rin is sleeping on top of it.] Jaken: Then he is nearby...? Sesshoumaru: ...... Fx Rin: *breath out softly...* Page 11 1 [The air around them suddenly rushes upwards, knocking Jaken to the side, and knocking Rin off.] Fx wind: whoosh Sesshoumaru: ! Jaken: Yeek!? 2 [Kagura lands on the ground a short distance from them, with a smile on her face. Rin has landed on the grass next to Jaken, now awake.] Fx Kagura: (landing) tmp Kagura: Hey there. Jaken: You're... Page 12 1 [Closeup of Kagura with a slight smile.] Kagura: Sesshoumaru... you also caught wind of Naraku's smell and came? 2 [Jaken looks between Kagura and Sesshoumaru a bit frantically.] Jaken: Se, Sesshoumaru-sama, this woman is Naraku's offspring... Sesshoumaru: ...... 3 [Sesshoumaru puts a hand to his sword. Toukijin, specifically as Sesshoumaru still has Tenseiga.] Sesshoumaru: Kagura the Wind-User... you called yourself. Fx Sesshoumaru: (sword) *place hand...* 4 [Closeup side view of Kagura with a smile.] Kagura: Heh... I'm glad. Kagura: So you remembered me huh. 5 [View of the two, Sesshoumaru still has his hand on Toukijin's hilt.] Kagura: Take your hand off the sword. Kagura: I didn't come to fight. Page 13 1 [Closeup of Kagura. She has a serious, almost pleading look.] Kagura: Sesshoumaru... Kagura: Will you bargain with me? 2 [Closeup of Sesshoumaru looking slightly surprised.] Sesshoumaru: Bargain...? Page 14 1 [Kagura holds out the two fragments.] Kagura: You know what these are don't you? Kagura: These Shikon no Tama fragments... 2 [View of Sesshoumaru.] Kagura: {off} I'll give them to you. Kagura: In return... 3 [Closeup of Kagura with a serious look.] Kagura: you kill Naraku... Kagura: and release me from him. 4 [Closeup of Sesshoumaru taking this in.] 5 [Jaken and Rin look on.] Jaken: Wha... Page 15 1 [Closeup of Sesshoumaru with a somewhat cold, serious look.] Sesshoumaru: You're betraying Naraku then. 2 [Closeup of Kagura.] Kagura: Humph, it's not like I obeyed him because I liked to in the first place. Kagura: How about it Sesshoumaru. 3 [View of the two.] Kagura: I think it's to your advantage to partner with me. 4 [Closeup of Sesshoumaru.] Sesshoumaru: Unfortunately for you... Sesshoumaru: I have no interest in the Shikon no Tama. 5 [Closeup side view of Kagura looking shocked by this.] 6 [Closeup of Sesshoumaru making a point.] Sesshoumaru: If you want to be free, go ahead and use those fragments yourself and defeat Naraku. Page 16 1 [Kagura gets a bit upset.] Kagura: Are you scared of Naraku? Sesshoumaru: I have no obligation to save you. 2 [Closeup of Kagura getting angry.] Sesshoumaru: {off} If you aren't prepared to do it by yourself, then you can't consider betraying him. 3 [Closeup of Kagura shouting angrily.] Kagura: You coward! Kagura: You call yourself a man!? 4 [Jaken and Rin look on. Rin has her two hands raised below her chin, looking a bit sad and upset.] Rin: My. 5 [Kagura takes a feather from her hair angrily.] Kagura: Humph, I misjudged you. Fx featuer: pick 6 [Sesshoumaru is buffeted a bit as Kagura launched off.] Fx wind: whoosh Page 17 1 [View of Kagura rushing along on her feather.] Fx wind: whoosh 2 [Closeup side view of Kagura looking upset and angry.] Kagura: .oO(Damn jerk...). 3 [Sesshoumaru, Jaken and Rin look off at her.] Jaken: That woman... I wonder if she was seriously thinking of becoming Sesshoumaru's supporter. Rin: Sesshoumaru-sama is plenty strong isn't he. 4 [Scene change to a castle, presumably Naraku's, with dark energy swirling around.] Fx sound: rumble... 5 [View of a ladder leading to a closeup trapdoor in a cellar.] 6 [View of some fine looking clothes lying on the floor, like the type Naraku wears. However, around the clothes is dark bubbling liquid, and what appear to be a group of dark, ridged and think demonic arms/legs.] Fx liquid: glub... Page 18 1 [It's Naraku, but not as you've seen him before. Only his head looks normal - it seems the rest of his body has split into various parts of Youkai, though none of the bits look alive.] Fx Naraku: *pulse of energy* 2 [Closeup of Naraku - he seems to have a slight smile.] Naraku: .oO(Kagura... has run away huh...?). 3 [Scene change back to Kagome and all, still rushing along.] Kagome: We've caught up. Kagome: Kagura is nearby. Last modified April 1st 2001
