InuYasha (犬夜叉)

>> INUYASHA BROKE THROUGH

NARAKU'S BARRIER, BUT BEFORE

INUYASHA COULD FINISH HIM OFF,

NARAKU ESCAPED SERIOUSLY

INJURED.

THE ONLY REASON HE GOT AWAY WAS

BECAUSE HE RESORTED TO A DIRTY

TRICK--USING KOHAKU.

SURPRISINGLY, IT WAS SESSHOMARU

THAT SAVED KOHAKU.

NARAKU HAD DISAPPEARED, AND WE

WERE ACTUALLY GRATEFUL TO HAVE A

BIT OF A BREATHER, ESPECIALLY

INUYASHA.

SO ON WE GO, CONTINUING OUR

JOURNEY TO DESTROY NARAKU AND

GATHER ALL THE SHARDS OF THE

SACRED JEWEL.

>> MMM...

>>

>>

YOU BETTER BACK DOWN, OR I'LL

GET SERIOUS.

>> SHORT-TEMPERED AS ALWAYS.

>> HUH?

HMM?

>> HA HA HA!

>> WHO ARE YOU, AND WHY DID YOU

SEND YOUR WOLVES AFTER ME?

YOU GOT A BONE TO PICK WITH ME

OR SOMETHING?

>> ISN'T THAT AYAME, THE

GRANDDAUGHTER OF THE OLD

CHIEFTAIN?

>> YEAH, I THINK SO, BUT I HEARD

SHE WENT NORTH WITH THE ELDER

A LONG TIME AGO.

>> SHE MUST HAVE COME BACK,

THEN.

>> AYAME?

>> I CAME TO GIVE YOU GRAMPS'

MESSAGE.

>> WHAT MESSAGE?

>> YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE ME FOR

YOUR WIFE, JUST LIKE YOU

PROMISED, KOGA.

>> MY WIFE?

>> HUH?

>> YOU HAVE SACRED JEWEL SHARDS,

DON'T YOU?

WITH THOSE IN YOUR POSSESSION,

YOU'LL BE WORTHY OF RULING THE

CLAN, SO COME WITH ME, AND LET'S

GET MARRIED.

>> LISTEN, STOP JOKING AROUND.

WHY SHOULD I MARRY YOU?

>> UH, YOU DON'T REMEMBER?

>> REMEMBER WHAT?

>> KOGA, YOU PROMISED TO MARRY

ME WHEN I CAME DOWN FROM THE

NORTHERN MOUNTAINS.

>> KOGA, YOU MADE SUCH

A PROMISE?

>> HOW ARE YOU GOING TO BREAK

THIS TO KAGOME?

>> HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

>> GRAMPS TOLD ME TO BRING YOU

BACK--WITH FORCE, IF NECESSARY.

>> WE'RE GONNA FALL!

>> KOGA, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

>> LET GO OF MY HAND!

GET LOST, WILL YOU?

>> DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY.

>> I ALREADY HAVE A FIANCEE

NAMED KAGOME WHO I'M

GONNA MARRY.

I WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ANY

PROMISES TO WED YOU.

>> AAH!

>> A FIANCEE?

KAGOME?

>> WAIT UP, KOGA!

>> DON'T TELL ME HE'S SERIOUSLY

FORGOTTEN.

>>

>> HMM...

HE DID PROMISE...

ON THE LIGHT OF THE LUNAR

RAINBOW.

>> HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT WHERE

NARAKU WENT?

>> WE CHECKED EVERYWHERE.

>> WE ASKED ALL OVER, BUT THERE

WEREN'T EVEN ANY RUMORS

ABOUT NARAKU.

>> I SEE.

IT SEEMS INUYASHA HASN'T BEEN

ABLE TO PICK UP ANY SCENT OF

NARAKU, EITHER.

>> NOT A WHIFF.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT A DEMONIC

AURA THAT STRONG COULD DISAPPEAR

SO EASILY, THOUGH.

>> NOT MUCH WE CAN DO, I GUESS.

>> KAGOME, I DON'T SUPPOSE

YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO SENSE THE

JEWEL SHARDS, EITHER.

>> NO, NOT AT ALL--

NOT EVEN A TWINGE.

>> NO SENSE GETTING

OVERLY WORRIED.

IF WE JUST KEEP COLLECTING THE

SACRED JEWEL SHARDS AS USUAL,

I'M SURE NARAKU WILL EVENTUALLY

COME AFTER THEM HIMSELF.

>> FORGET IT.

WE CAN'T JUST WAIT AROUND.

>> WHAT CHOICE DO WE HAVE?

>> HUH?

>> I WONDER HOW MANY MORE SHARDS

THERE ARE BESIDES THE ONES

THAT NARAKU ALREADY HAS IN HIS

POSSESSION.

>> WHO KNOWS?

>> I HAVE

3 SHARDS HERE.

THEN THERE'S THE ONE EMBEDDED IN

KOHAKU'S BACK.

AND KOGA HAS A COUPLE, TOO.

>>

>>

>> IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO, BUT

IT'S STILL A PROMISE.

>> ALL RIGHT. DON'T OVERDO IT.

WHEN IT GETS TO BE TOO HARD,

DON'T YOU WORRY.

ONE DAY I'LL MAKE YOU MY WIFE,

AYAME.

>> HMM.

I WAS JUST A CHILD BACK THEN, SO

THERE'S NOT MUCH I CAN DO IF

KOGA DOESN'T REMEMBER.

MAYBE I SHOULD RETURN TO THE

MOUNTAINS.

>> MY TERRITORY IS BEING

OVERRUN.

WITHOUT THE SACRED JEWEL, WE

CANNOT OVERCOME THIS STRUGGLE.

FIND KOGA AND BRING HIM HERE AS

SOON AS YOU CAN.

>> HMM.

I CAN'T GIVE UP AND GO HOME NOW.

I'LL TRY AGAIN.

I'LL FIND HIM AND TRY ONE

MORE TIME.

>>

I DON'T LIKE THE LOOKS OF THIS

AT ALL.

THIS CASTLE REEKS

OF NARAKU'S SCENT, YET THERE'S

NO SIGN OF HIM AT ALL.

THIS GOUGE IN THE LAND...

>> KOGA, THE CASTLE

IS TOTALLY EMPTY.

>> LET'S GO.

>> HUH? WHERE TO?

>> WHERE ELSE?

WE'RE GOING TO FIND THAT MANGY

MUTT AND QUESTION HIM.

THAT STUPID MUTT SMELL IS ALL

OVER THE PLACE.

SOMETHING MUST HAVE HAPPENED

HERE BETWEEN HIM AND NARAKU.

>> I GET IT.

>> INUYASHA MIGHT KNOW

SOMETHING.

HEY, WAIT!

>> DON'T LEAVE US!

>> NARAKU ISN'T HERE, BUT IF

HE'S NEARBY, HE'S SURE TO COME

AFTER ME FOR THE SACRED JEWEL

SHARDS IN MY LEGS.

>>

>>

>> HMM.

I PICKED UP HIS SCENT, TOO.

KOGA WAS HERE NOT TOO LONG AGO.

FEEL THAT?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT

THIS PLACE, BUT IT GIVES ME

THE CREEPS.

WHAT WAS THAT?

AAH!

>>

>> WHAT IS THAT THING?

>>

>> UHH!

WHAT IS THAT THING, AND WHY IS

IT AFTER ME?

GINTA, HAKKAKU.
