Others who seek the Shikon no Tama [Page 3/9]

Ah, Kagome, what will you do in this time unknown to you? Inuyasha, don't be so stubborn! Smile more!
Villagers repair what
CW slashed last night.


Many houses were hit,
but the villagers fix up.


Inside a hut, Kaede treats Kagome's wound.


Kagome comments on the destruction:
It must be a lot of work
for those villagers.




Kaede:
There will be problems,
as the jewel returned
at these times.
Corruption will follow.



Kagome:
Like what happened yesterday?

Kaede:
It's not only demons, but also people with evil hearts.

Should they get the
Shikon no Tama's power, their desires can be achieved.

Kagome:
Hey,


what are you doing here?


Inuyasha:
Just give the jewel.

Kaede:
I guess you know the rosary's power.
At least we won't have to worry about people after the Shikon no Tama for now.
Kagome:
Why are you after
the jewel?

You are strong.




You don't really need its power, right?

Kaede:
It's because he is
hanyou
.


Now the villagers have something more to fix!



Inuyasha:
Hey, hag! You've been talking like that like know me for a while now.

Kaede:
You don't recognize me? Well, it's no surprise.
I am the younger sister of your sealer, Kikyou.
I am Kaede.
Inuyasha:
Kaede?
That little kid...

Kaede:
It's been fifty years.
I've aged since.
Inuyasha:
Really..

So Kikyou's an old bag
like you now?

Too bad humans
age so easily.

Kaede:
Kikyou-onee-sama...
is dead.

Oh, Inuyasha...


She died the day she sealed you with that arrow.



Inuyasha:
Hmm, so that's how it went! She's takin' her dirt nap.
Heh, what a relief!


Kaede:
Inuyasha, it's too early to be relieved.

Kagome, you may well be the reincarnation of
Kikyou-oneesama.

It's not only your looks
and spiritual power,



but the real proof is that
the Shikon no Tama was born inside of you.
