mamorubeki mono nante
How should I protect the things
nayamu made mo naku
That trouble me even when
hitotsu shika nakatta
You were the only one who was crying?
sakebigoe no kodama
I screamed in vain
munashiku hibiita
As the echo resounded
fukai mori no oku ni
In the depths of the deep forest
namida mo kotaerareta riyuu wa
The reason I can endure these tears is because
kasaneta yubi no nukumori no sei
The warmth of your fingers have changed me
kimi ga inai mirai
You don't have a future
imi nado nai mirai
There is no meaning for a future
nido to hanashitari wa shinai kara
Because I can't speak with you again
kimi to nozomu sekai
You wished for the world
mita koto nai sekai
A world in which you have not seen
jikuu o koete
We were far beyond
haruka tabisuru bokura
Space and time
The spiderwebs which entangled you have been severed.
Use that bow to save the priestess.
Kagome!
Where are you?!
What?!
Kagome!
Hold on, Kagome!
That Kikyo was something created from within my heart;
l was fighting with a phantom.
You got the bow?
lnuyasha? The real lnuyasha?
Yeah.
You okay, Kagome?
Uh-huh.
You came for me.
Huh?!
Those are Naraku's spiderwebs!
Something's coming!
R-Run...
Kikyo?
Run, Koga.
l can't do that.
This is Naraku's scent.
He's nearby, isn't he?
Don't you understand?
Naraku is already here.
Lady Kikyo!
AMONG THE TWlNKLlNG STARS
Everyone...
Damn it!
Damn.
Koga...
Why didn't you run?
lt's a little late for that!
Besides, wasn't your goal to give Naraku my shards?
You used that priestess Midoriko's soul to mess with my shards!
The situation has changed.
l can no longer...
The webs have loosened!
We're falling!
Kirara!
What?!
Kikyo, how does it feel to die in the arms of your hated foe?
You've shown yourself!
Naraku!
Aren't you supposed to be after me?!
Take this! Goraishi!
Your effort is futile.
Don't overdo it, Koga!
We can't do anything if your Shikon Jewel shards are taken!
l know! But still. . .
How long can you continue to run?
That's...
The shards in Koga's legs are being purified.
This is the will of Midoriko's soul.
lf Naraku consumes those shards, he will be destroyed on the spot!
Naraku has yet to notice.
Watch closely, Kikyo.
l will be one step closer to completing the Shikon Jewel,
and you can't do a thing.
Then you'd best hurry.
lnuyasha and Kagome are almost here.
What?
lnuyasha, l was tested by a phantom of Kikyo.
A phantom of Kikyo?
Yes. lt was a phantom l created,
a really scary and hateful Kikyo.
But that was how Kikyo used to be,
back when she hated me and tried to kill you.
Kagome...
Kikyo isn't like that anymore.
Yeah, l know.
lt means that was how l saw her.
l'm a little upset with myself.
That doesn't matter.
You still wanted to save Kikyo, right?
That shows your heart is strong and pure!
ls that really true?
Let's hurry!
l'm also worried about wolf boy!
Koga!
Miasma...
Here it comes!
My legs won't move!
l've caught you, Koga.
That's right, Naraku.
Make contact with Koga's shards!
The shards will purify both of us, as we're connected through your web.
Once my power has returned, l can join Midoriko in purifying Naraku.
l can even save Koga's life!
Damn it!
Naraku...
l will not die.
l will not die in your filthy arms!
lnuyasha...
Lady Kikyo!
Kikyo!
Kikyo, you and l are connected through my spiderweb,
which is why l could feel
the hatred and contempt you feel towards me,
as well as your lingering affection for lnuyasha.
'Tis a pity, Kikyo.
You will die in the arms of your hated foe,
without ever seeing lnuyasha again.
Naraku!
Let go of Kikyo!
lnuyasha!
Kikyo!
l only have one arrow!
l'm not allowed to fail.
My salvation requires using this bow to shoot my wound
and purify Naraku's contamination.
lt's okay.
l can hit her!
Wait...
l shouldn't shoot yet?!
Kagome!
Lady Kagome!
Koga! You're okay?
Yeah...
Although he caught me once.
The shards in his legs have been purified!
Naraku, how dare you do this to Kikyo?!
Kikyo, are you happy?
lnuyasha arrived in time to witness your death.
You won't get away with this!
Dragon-Scaled Tetsusaiga!
They regenerated!
Cutting through the demon vortex wasn't enough?!
Do you understand now?
That sword of yours cannot-
That darkness is...
The inside of Naraku's body.
So the Dragon-Scaled Tetsusaiga worked?
And Koga's shards as well.
That's...
The Shikon Jewel!
lnuyasha!
The Shikon Jewel is inside his body!
Okay!
l'll cut through you and the Jewel!
Kikyo!
Hang in there, Kikyo!
His body"s closing up!
Koga!
My Shikon Jewel shards are purifying Naraku, right?!
Then let me handle this!
l don't like that l'm letting Midoriko's soul have her way though!
lf he makes it inside, Naraku will be purified with the Jewel!
The Jewel's presence disappeared?!
Naraku doesn't have the Shikon Jewel!
No! Come back, Koga!
Naraku doesn't have the Shikon Jewel!
What?!
lt's too late!
Kagome, what's going on?!
l don't know...
But the Shikon Jewel suddenly disappeared!
lt was there a moment ago!
lf Koga enters Naraku's body...
The shards in his legs will be defiled and consumed!
We can't stand around!
Sango, let's go!
Kikyo! Kikyo!
Hang in there, Kikyo!
lnu...yasha...
Kikyo.
Go...
Save Koga.
But...
Go... Hurry!
Got it.
l'll be right back!
l'll smash you from the inside!
This is it, Koga.
Sango, please support me.
Good monk, you're not trying to...
lt's futile, Monk.
Your body will be infected by miasma,
and you will collapse while vomiting blood,
before you can suck me into your Wind Tunnel!
lt isn't futile!
Wind Tunnel!
Master Miroku!
Wind Tunnel...
Please hold on for me!
Fool.
You are only sucking in miasma.
That's good enough!
What?
The miasma's gone! Nows my chance!
Goraishi!
Good monk!
l'll take care of the rest!
The wound grew.
Good monk, are you all right?
Yeah.
You alive, wolf boy?
l won't die so easily.
Then hurry up and-
Koga...
Koga's shards have darkened.
We have to hurry!
Where?!
Where is Naraku's Shikon Jewel?!
My power isn't enough to find it.
Tell me, Kikyo!
ls that the Shikon Jewel?!
Naraku hid it inside Kikyo!
Kikyo's Soul Collectors!
Now.
Kikyo...
Now, right?
l should shoot now, right?
The girl has found the Jewel?!
Kagome!
Thank you, Soul Collectors!
Curse you!
He's trying to take back the Shikon Jewel!
l won't let that happen!
Kikyo, damn you.
You intend to purify me with the Jewel?!
Go!
The cloud of miasma is defiling the Jewel!
l'll consume the entire Jewel!
What?!
Kikyo's spiritual energy is destroying Naraku!
Your legs are loose!
Come!
My shards!
We don't have time for that!
Kikyo's spiritual energy is fighting Naraku's demonic energy inside the Jewel!
Kikyo, can you see it?
Naraku is in pain.
Kagome, the rest is up to you.
Huh?
His demonic energy is spreading!
l won!
Kagome...
Protect the last shard.
Protect Kohaku's light.
You are the only one who can do this.
What are you saying?
Pull yourself together!
l can't possibly...
Kikyo!
Wasn't shooting you with the bow and purifying your wound
supposed to save you?!
Kikyo, you lose.
Naraku, you will know if l truly lost or not when you die.
Naraku, you bastard!
Only one shard remains.
l shall watch how you fight without Kikyo.
Kikyo!
Kikyo is finished!
Kikyo lost to my demonic energy!
lnuyasha, hurry!
Kikyo is...
Kikyo...
No, Kohaku! You can't move yet!
l must return.
Lady Kikyo was weakened.
What is she doing now?
Just to be clear:
Don't expect Lord Sesshomaru to bring you along!
Can't we ask him?
The scent in the wind has changed.
Huh?
Did something happen to Lady Kikyo?
lt's too late.
Everyone, it's time to head back.
- Okay! - Okay!
Wow, the sunset's so red!
lsn't it beautiful, Lady Kaede?
Yes.
But it's practically the color of blood...
Lady Kikyo.
Kikyo.
l couldn't save Kikyo...
Sorry.
Could you leave us alone?
l'm sorry, Kikyo.
l'm sorry!
Don't cry, Kagome.
My soul was saved.
Those are my sister's...
l'm sorry, Kaede.
Big sister!
You've suffered a long time because of me.
Th-That's not...
l'm so sorry.
Big sister!
l had a chance to destroy Naraku with the Wind Tunnel,
before Lady Kikyo ended up this way.
Good monk...
But l was scared of dying
and hesitated to open the Wind Tunnel.
Even though it was Lady Kikyo who saved my life...
l...
l'm sure that Kikyo wanted you to survive, for my sake.
Sango...
l hated Kikyo.
She used my brother's life, Kohaku's shard,
as a tool for defeating Naraku.
But, after l saw Kikyo try to save Koga,
l realized that Kikyo may have been fighting to protect Kohaku's life.
l no longer have my Shikon Jewel shards,
but l'm still alive...
ls that how it should be, Kikyo?
l...
l couldn't do anything.
lf only l had more power...
lf l had come sooner, Kikyo wouldn't have...
Damn Naraku.
He really didn't want Kikyo and lnuyasha to meet.
But...
You came in time.
Back then...
Do you remember, lnuyasha?
Long before Naraku tore us apart...
lnuyasha, would you be willing to use the Shikon Jewel to become a human?
lf l were to become a human, Kikyo, what would you do?
l am the guardian of the Jewel.
Once the Jewel is gone,
l'll be an ordinary woman.
How could l ever forget?
Back then, l was ready to become human and live with you.
l have finally become an ordinary woman.
Kikyo...
You were the first woman l ever cared for, and yet...
l couldn't do anything for you.
This is the first time l've ever seen you cry, lnuyasha.
Kikyo, l...
l couldn't save you!
You came for me...
That's enough.
Kikyo...
lnuyasha...
Kikyo.
This light is...
Kikyo's soul.
lt's almost like she's saying goodbye.
lt's so warm.
lnuyasha...
l didn't want Kikyo to endure any more sorrow.
l wanted to protect her forever.
I'll take you to the higher stage
Now you got blazin'
I'll take you to the higher stage
Now you got blazin'
namida o kakushita tsuyogari na kimi no egao
The smile you wear make you look so strong, that I can't see your tears
kata o daku koto sae sunao ni wa dekinakute
The way you embrace me is beyond all compare
yoake no mukou ni donna mirai ga atte mo
But what does the future hold after dawn?
shinjiru koto de shika kaerarenai
It's not like we can change what we believe in
miushinatte ita kokoro no kakera
The shards that my heart has lost
futari de sagashiateta shunkan kitto
Can truly be found if we were to look for them together
kowashite oikakete kiri hirai ta ano sora de
Tearing down, chasing within these broken skies
Seeking my way
hitosuji no hikari ni naru with you
Becoming a single ray of light with you
Koga leaves the battle!
Meanwhile, Sesshomaru goes to see someone unexpected.
lf you've come to visit your mother...
You should have heard from Father
about how to use Tenseiga to open the Path to the Underworld.
Then l shall have you entertain me.
Next time on lnuyasha The Final Act: "Sesshomaru in the Underworld"
Sacrifices are unavoidable, as you train with your sword.
