1[Inu-yasha: I’ve finally caught up with you…]
2[Naraku!]
Page 43 3[Naraku: Ahhhh…Inu-yasha, do you want to know the reason why I’m trying to destroy you? If you die without knowing it, wouldn’t you feel regret?] 4[Inu-yasha: …What the Hell are you talking about? 5[Naraku: Ahhh..] 4[Naraku: Kaede…you’re a lot older. Kaede: !] 5[Kaede: You still remember me? Then you must be…]
Page 44 1[Inu-yasha: Oni Spider! (Flashbacks here go on and off) 2[The badly burnt bandit who was nursed by Kikyo…] 3[Naraku: Ahhh…that’s right! I was born fifty years ago right in that cave where Oni Spider rested.] 4[Kagome: ?] 5[Naraku: Speaking of which, it was all caused by Kikyo…]
Page 45
1[Because Kikyo’s spirit more and more frail every passing day, she could no longer protect the Earth from demons…]
2[Kaede: …]
3[Naraku: Don’t you understand? Inu-yasha…]
Page 46
1[Naraku: Kikyo who fell in love with Inu-yasha, was just an ordinary woman.]
3[But Naraku who was made into a man from corrupt spirits began to have wrong thoughts of her.]
Page 47
1[The evil essence Oni Spider let out was astounding. It pulled many demons inside the cave…]
2[Oni Spider: Just as long as I can get out, I shall let you devour away my soul. Just as long as I can have freedom…]
3[I can steal the Shikon no Tama and make Kikyo my woman…]
Page 48
2[Naraku: And right after the demons combined, I Naraku was born…]
3[Kaede: Then Oni Spider…]
4[Naraku: Ahh~~his body and soul were completely devoured…leaving nothing but fertilizer.]
5[Inu-yasha: But why…did you set up that twisted plot for Kikyo and I?]
Page 49
1[You really need to ask? Of course it was to fill Kikyo’s heart with malice, in that tainting the Shikon no Tama with blood of hatred.]
3[Two lover’s promise to each other when broken with hatred and slaughter is something in this world that could have no cure.
(To those who can have the Chinese translation book, you will notice that this part of the translation is a fragmented sentence, therefore it will look different.)]
4[The deeper the feelings between the two, the more their hate pollutes the Shikon jewel.]
5[Naraku: Inu-yasha…you’ve hated Kikyo before haven’t you? Hah hah?lt;/br>
6[Inu-yasha: Uh…]
Page 50 1[Naraku: If Kikyo valued her life…all she needed to do was promise to the Shikon no Tama.] 2[To have her keep on living…all she needed was to selfishly promise to the Shikon no Tama. (I’m clear on this line, it’s Naraku is narrating to the group or thinking to himself.)] 3[Naraku: Then I slashed apart Kikyo’s arm and the tarnished Shikon no Tama would have been mine.] 4[But the woman…took the jewel with her and died! (Same problem here.)]
Page 51
1[Inu-yasha: Kikyo…didn’t want to live any longer?]
2[Kagome: Kikyo…died from battling Inu-yasha…]
3[Naraku: That caused me to lose my chance of getting the Shikon jewel…and it’s all because of you, you halfling of a demon.]
4[Naraku: How foolish, what an idiotic woman! (I think baka on’na would also work well here.)]
5[Inu-yasha: Damnit…]

1[Inu-yasha: Teme…how dare you?Teme: A rough way of saying "you".)]
Page 53 1[Inu-yasha: I won’t forgive you!]

1[Inu-yasha: !]
2[Miroku: Thinking of running?]
Page 55
2[Naraku: Ahah hah…so you’re Miroku? You look like your grandfather, you’re both so seductive.]
1[Miroku: You needn’t worry about how I look like!]
2[Inu-yasha: Cut the useless talk! I’ll…]

1[Inu-yasha: Kill you!]
3[Miroku: The ground caught on fire…]
4[Miroku: It’s dangerous!]
5[Miroku: What is this gas? (Miroku is referring to the poisonous gas found in forests. The amounts of animal droppings and decaying plants form this kind of gas; can kill people if they enhaled too much.)]

1[Kagome: Where’s Inu-yasha?]
2[Inu-yasha: Don’t even think about escaping!]
3[Kagome: Inu-yasha!]
