(voiceover recap)
Kagome- Last time I was pulled into a hidden well on my families shrine. I�m just a girl in middle school, okay? Nothing that weird�s ever happened to me. There was a boy, InuYasha, pinned to a tree when I came out. The spell should have held forever, but somehow I broke it. Now monsters are after the Sacred Jewel of Four Souls. And here I am stuck in the feudal age of Japan.
(flashback)
InuYasha- Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!
Kagome- But how�d it get inside my body? Why would I have a jewel wanted by demons?
InuYasha- If you hand the jewel over right now, I wont have to start sharpening my claws on you.
(end flashback)
~Title~
Seekers of the Sacred Jewel
InuYasha- Hmm.
Kaede- Pay no head to InuYasha, child.
Kagome- The Sacred Jewel makes monsters more powerful, is it cursed?
InuYasha- I hate having to wait, and I hate the smell of you.
Kagome- Huh? Aah! Ugh!
InuYasha- Hya!
Kagome- Nya!
InuYasha- Want me to scratch your back?
Kagome- You really tried to hit me just now, didn�t you?
Villagers- Shoot him! Quickly! [shouting]
InuYasha- Huh? Who do you people think I am? You think you can hurt me like I did that centipede?
Man- Lady Kaede, me thinks mayhap that we might have chanced the centipede.
Kaede- Somehow I knew that it would come to this.
InuYasha- Prepare yourself.
Kagome- Prepare? For what? (panting and grunting)
InuYasha- [grunts] Yah!
Kagome- Haya! Ugh! Aah!
InuYasha- Ha! Now it�s mine. Hmm? Uh. What the heck are these?
Kagome- Huh?
Kaede- Quickly child, the word of subjugation.
Kagome- Huh? What word?
Kaede- It matters not. Your word has the power to hold his spirit.
Kagome- [panting] Ah! Uh! Hu? Oh!
InuYasha- Ha! How can you overpower me when you can�t even sit up?
Kagome- A word to hold his spirit? But how will I know which one?
Kagome- Uh� Um, uh�? Sit boy!
InuYasha- Hmm? Unh!
Echoes- Sit Boy! Unh! Sit boy! Unh! Sit boy! Unh!
Kagome- What do you know? It worked.
InuYasha- What the heck is this thing? Nuh! Uh!
Kaede- I�m sorry InuYasha, but even you lack the power to remove it.
InuYasha- Uh! We�ll see about that. I�d come up there and finish you off, if you didn�t look half dead already.
Kaede- The word please.
Kagome- Sit boy!
InuYasha- Nah! Aah!
Kaede- Well then, shall we head home?
Kagome- That was easy. Wish I�d said it earlier.
Kaede- How�s that? Perhaps I�ll put more unguent on your belly.
Kagome- [winces] Mmm. I noticed your rebuilding the houses wrecked by Mistress Centipede. What a pain.
Kaede- Pain yes, and just the beginning. Now that the Sacred Shikon no Tama is back among us, far worse that Mistress Centipede will come to claim it.
Kagome- Worse than yesterday?
Kaede- And not just demons. There are humans who�s hearts are more evil, still, and only the jewel has the power to make real their petty grasping ambitions.
Kagome- Oh. Speaking of petty, what are you still doing here?
InuYasha- I�m waitin� for the jewel.
Kaede- With the beads around his neck, his threat is diminished. It is perhaps the only way we can allow him so close to the jewel.
Kagome- Why do you want the jewel anyway? It seems to me you�re strong enough as it is. What power can the jewel give you, you don�t already have?
Kaede- Ah, but he�s just half demon.
InuYasha- You know what? I�m sick of hearing some dried up witch I just met talk like she knows me.
Kaede- So ye don�t remember, I thought as much. I�m younger sister to Kikyou, she who bound you to the tree� Kaede.
InuYasha- You�re Kaede? So you�re the brat, huh?
Kaede- Fifty years have passed, and I have grown old.
InuYasha- If you�re this old, Kikyou must be pushin� a hundred. I�m sure glad I don�t gotta worry about being old, at least not for a while.
Kaede- Kikyou didn�t worry either, Kikyou died. It was on the same day she shot you with the arrow.
InuYasha- Gee, sorry to hear it� not that I really care or nothing. It�s one less thing for me to worry about.
Kaede- I wouldn�t let my guard down just yet, InuYasha. I now know that Kagome is the reincarnation of my sister.
Kagome- Huh?
Kaede- And it isn�t just because ye resemble her.
~Flashback~
Kagome- Aah! Stop it!
(VO during flashback)
Kaede- The Jewel of the Four Souls was in your body. That alone is proof enough. It is up to ye now child, to take over its protection.
~End flashback~
Kagome- (Me, protecting this?) Who am I kidding?
Male villager- She�s the reincarnation of who?
Male Villager #2- You gotta admit there�s something other worldly about her.
Female villager- About who?
Male Villager #2- They�re saying that girl there is really Kikyou.
Male Villager- That�s Lady Kikyou for those who respect her.
Male Villager #3- Me, I knew it was Lady Kikyou all along.
Villager- Lady Kikyou�s come back just as she left.
Villagers- [murmuring]
Kagome- I gotta get outta here.
InuYasha- (She died, and I never knew.) Hmm?
Kagome- Hey, don�t you wanna eat?
InuYasha- Where�d you get all that stuff from?
Kagome- The villagers gave it to me. Why not come down from there and help me eat it?
InuYasha- Whatever you�re up to, I ain�t buying it.
Kagome- Buying what? Listen, it�s fair to say you don�t like me, right?
InuYasha- Way more than fair.
Kagome- Whatever. It�s not even me you dislike; it�s this Kikyou person.
InuYasha- Hmm. Unh.
Kagome- I�m not Kikyou, okay? I�m Kagome. Can�t we just call a truce?
InuYasha- Ha! I knew it! What you don�t get is that I�m only after the jewel. You�re just trying to lure me into a false sense of security!
Kagome- Oh, really? That�s funny, considering all I have to do to make you obey is say the word �sit.�
InuYasha- Unh!
Kagome- [laughs] Whoops! Sorry about that. (nervous laughter)
InuYasha- Uhn. Oh man.
Kagome- It�s two days now that I�ve been over here. Grandpa�Souta, Mom� they must be so worried. I gotta get back, one way or the other.
InuYasha- Uh! Aah! Nah!
Crows- [cawing]
InuYasha- They�ve all come just cause they smell the jewel. Stinkin� vultures.
Roster- [crows]
Kagome- InuYasha�s Forest. A dry well. It�s how I came here after all. There�s got to be some kind of hint how to get home.
Kaede- Kagome? Kagome?
Man- [panting] We looked everywhere but she�s not here.
Kaede- Could it be she�s gone off on her own? We spoke of those who seek the sacred jewel. Yet we spoke not nearly enough.
Kagome- Hmm. There. That�s the well I came out of.
Men- [Shouting]
Kagome- [muffle protests]
Men- [laughing]
Kagome- Ow!
Bandit- Hey boss! We caught the girl just like you said we should.
Bandit- [laughter] Her kimono�s shorted than mine. You�re gonna catch cold if you go around half dressed.
Kagome- [yelps] Don�t do that! It�ll rip.
Bandit- What�s the matter Princess? Our hands too dirty for ya?
Bandit- Marry me and I�ll buy ya a new one.
Bandit- [wicked laughter]
Kagome- Stop laughing.
Boss- Hand over the jewel, right now.
Kagome- [gasps]
Boss- [wicked laughter]
Kagome- Hey!
Bandit- Hey Boss, try taking it off in one swing like a dandelion.
Kagome- Uh! Let go!
Bandit- Stop squirming. Aah! What did you do that for?
Men- [nervous chuckling, shouting and murmuring]
Bandit- Boss! Boss! Where you aiming? She�s who you want. Her, not us.
Kagome- Wait! Wait! Can�t you tell there�s something wrong with your boss? Now get your butts in gear or next it�ll be you two. Do I have to tell you everything? Aah!
Men- [shouting]
Kagome- (Here I am in Feudal Japan, playing �duck, duck, goose� with an eight-foot troll.)
InuYasha- Unh! [sniffing] Stupid girl. I don�t care where she goes, but she took the jewel with her.
~~Commercial~~
Boss- [grunting]
Men- [shouting]
Kagome- Are you okay?
Bandit- We gotta go around, it�s blocked.
Kagome- Can you stand?
Bandit- Thank you for saving me. Thank you.
Boss- I want the jewel. Give it to me.
Kagome- He�s after the jewel. Wish I didn�t have it.
~Flashback
Kaede- And not just demons. There are humans who seek it, to make real their petty, grasping ambitions.
~End flashback
Kagome- (Maybe I should have listened�) But I�ll worry about that later. Hmm? [groaning]
Men- [screaming]
Kagome- Thanks for nothin�.
Men- [nervous laughter]
Boss- [shouts]
Men- [scream]
Kagome- That�s right. Take him. Uh!
Boss- Jewel� give it to me.
Kagome- [gasps] That wall, push it out. All at once.
Bandit- Got it! Uh! Sorry Boss, no good.
Kagome- What did you just� I�m not your boss. [gasps] Uh! Aah! [gasps] InuYasha?
InuYasha- [grunts] Yah!
Men- [shouting]
Bandit- We�re outta here Boss!
Bandit- Thanks again.
Kagome- I can�t believe you actually came.
InuYasha- Is it safe? Where�s the jewel?
Kagome- Jewel?
InuYasha- Oh, no! Tell me you did not just say that.
Kagome- [nervous laughter]
InuYasha- Oh! What is that smell? It�s like rotting meat or�
Crow- [screeches]
Kagome- What�s that?
InuYasha- How much you wanna bet that bird ripped out his living heart and made itself a bloody nest?
Kagome- I knew there was something wrong. The bird made him a puppet.
InuYasha- Carrion Crows don�t fight on their own when there�s dead bodies handy. They ain�t so tough. But they�re hella nasty! Uh!
Crow- [squawks]
Kagome- It�s getting away. Aren�t you gonna go after it?
InuYasha- Maybe you hadn�t noticed, but the world is full of monsters. You want I should go after �em all?
Kagome- But�
InuYasha- No buts, you wanna start doing the fighting, be my guest. In the meantime, where�s the jewe� Oh! That stupid crow is making off with the jewel. What�s wrong with you?
Kagome- What do you mean, �what�s wrong with�� go after him!
InuYasha- Come on!
Kagome- [yelps] Hey!
InuYasha- Oh, no, you don�t! What�re you waitin� for? Hurry up and shoot it.
Kagome- Shoot? You�re kidding right? I�ve never used a bow in my life.
InuYasha- The crow lives by eating human flesh, uh! If you think that�s bad, let it swallow the jewel. Uh!
Kagome- Aah! It swallowed it. Fine! I�ll try.
InuYasha- Thank you. [And after she takes out the crow, it�s her turn] Kikyou was a master archer. Take it in one shot.
Kagome- I told you, my name�s Kagome! (Still, Kikyou, give me your strength.)
InuYasha- Uh!
Kagome- Here goes.
InuYasha- Ugh!
Kagome- What the? I thought you said she was a master archer?
InuYasha- She was. It�s you that�s the klutz. See how big it is? Do it!
Kagome- Uh!
InuYasha- Ugh! Ah!
Kagome- Ah, ow!
InuYasha- I don�t care what the old lady says, you are not Kikyou, ya got that? I am so outta here!
Kagome- InuYasha, wait!
Boy- Yah!
Mother- Somebody help!
InuYasha- Looking for your next meal already, huh? You forget, you first gotta get through me.
Kagome- InuYasha, no! You�ll hurt the boy!
InuYasha- Back off! Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!
Boy- [screams] Help! Help me!
InuYasha- Where�d it go? Where�s the jewel?
Boy- Help! Help me!
Villagers- [worried chatter]
Kagome- Uh!
Boy- Help!
Kagome- [grunting] I�m so glad I took lessons.
Boy- Help! Help me!
Man- How can she do that?
Man- she�s fast.
Man- She�s an imp I tell ya! A water imp. She�s not human at all!
Boy- Help! [indistinct struggling sounds]
Kagome- Hang on. I�ve got you.
Man- It�s on it�s back now. I don�t believe it. What a day! What a girl! What an imp!
Kagome- And they say teenage girls get excited.
InuYasha- Save the jewel stupid! The jewel!
Mother- Oh! My baby!
Boy- Mama, I was so scared.
Kagome- Hmph!
InuYasha- Uh! Wha�!?
Boy- Thanks for saving me.
Mother- Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Kagome- It�s okay.
Crow- [caws]
InuYasha- I knew it. Hey, it�s getting away.
Kagome- It�s what? Well, I guess you�re off the hook for now pal.
Boy- [screams]
Crowd- (gasps)
Kagome- I know. Hey, could I borrow your bow?
Man- Uh, sure. It�s so far.
InuYasha- My butt, she�s gonna hot it.
Kagome- I can do this. I know it.
InuYasha- I get it. She�s shootin� the foot.
Kagome- The foot can�t help but be drawn by the jewel. Which almost guarantees it�ll hit. Yeah!
InuYasha- Uh! She hit it! Uh!
Kagome- That light� where is it coming from?
Man- Lady Kaede, those lights!
Kaede- Oh, aye. And I like not the looks of it.
InuYasha- Are you sure it fell around here?
Kagome- Well, yeah, I mean kinda, though I�m still kinda worried about that light. [gasps]
